The day after Prato announced the penalty for the fight, Maradona left Italy and returned to Argentina and, through his lawyer, filed a lawsuit in the courts of Florence, Italy, accusing Prato of violating the contract with him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Lin, who originally had a glimmer of hope for Maradona, has completely died at this point, and he also sneered at the imbecile of the team behind Maradona. He instructed the club's public relations staff to expose Maradona's repeated unexcused absences from training and violations of team discipline, and said that according to Maradona's behavior, the club is fully qualified to unilaterally terminate his contract, and now punish him a little, in fact, it is a performance of loving him, but he did not expect to be sued instead, and Prato will not give up using legal means to protect his rights and interests.

However, in the end, the lawsuit was not settled, and after out-of-court negotiations, the Prato club withdrew the intra-team punishment against Maradona, terminated the player's contract with Maradona, and agreed to allow him to join the Argentine River Plate team as a free agent.

Maradona's departure has brought a bad head to the penalized Prato star and put a lot of pressure on the Prato club, and even various sponsors have called to express concern about the team's situation.

However, at the critical moment, Chen Lin persuaded Dunga, who was also heavily punished, to get the Brazilian veteran to agree to stay at the club. Dunga himself has been very happy in the Prato club, this incident, just self-disciplined by nature, he simply looked down on the bohemian Maradona, not against the club, and now that Maradona has also left the club, his anger is smooth. As for the punishment, although it is relatively heavy, Chen Lin also explained to him that this is a posture that the club's crisis public relations must put on, and Dunga also expressed his understanding, anyway, with his age and qualifications, he no longer needs too many games to maintain his state, and the economic loss, Chen Lin said that the club has received several brand endorsements for him in China, which can fully make up for his loss.

After convincing Dunga, Chen Lin persuaded his teammate Leonardo in Brazil through him. Leonardo has great respect for Dunga, and he chose to come to Prato in the first place, largely because of Dunga's reasons.

As for the "Tiger" Effenberg, who should have been the most difficult to convince, he didn't have much strength from Fei Chenlin. It has long been said that this tiger is a man of temperament, or rather a donkey. Later, when he was in Wolfsburg, he had an internal medical examination. When it was Effenberg's turn to weigh himself, the scale hands immediately coincided with the 90-kilogram scale mark, and Strength and Conditioning Coach Schroc immediately ordered him to lose at least two kilograms in a week, or he would not be allowed to play. Effenberg reminded his coach that he also weighed 90kg two years ago when he led Bayern to win the Champions League against Valencia: "I'm 34 years old and I know what I have to do. Two days after April Fool's Day, Effenberg voluntarily lost hundreds of thousands of euros and voluntarily terminated his contract with the club when his contract with Wolfsburg was three months away.

Therefore, for Effenberg, he doesn't look at any economic losses, he only looks at whether things go well or not, in his opinion, the Prato club's expulsion of Maradona is to make him angry, and he is on his side, so he didn't have trouble with the club at all.

By mid-November 1994, Prato had been knocked out by Napoli in the Coppa Italia and had slipped all the way to the abyss in the second division, with even the European Cup Winners' Cup drawing a bad draw.

Prato will travel to faraway Russia to face Spartak Moscow at this time.

In November, the temperature in Moscow has dropped below freezing, and because this year's cold spell came earlier than usual, the Apennine Peninsula is already a world of ice and snow compared to the warm and flower-filled Apennine Peninsula at this time.

Due to the lack of warmth and geothermal facilities, Spartak Moscow still showed traces of snow on the home ground, but it was only after some manual cleaning that barely managed to cope with the game. In recent years, due to the political and economic chaos brought about by the collapse of the Soviet Union, the living standards of the people in Russia have been declining day by day, and tens of thousands of football fans are now concerned about how to find enough food and clothing to survive this cold winter. And the best Russian players have moved away from their homeland for their own livelihood.

This is evident in the Spartak stadium: rusty goals, tattered nets, overgrown playing fields, badly damaged stands. Although UEFA has brought the game to one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Lin, who was sitting on the sidelines and wearing a heavy cotton coat, still felt the biting cold, not to mention the players wearing thin sweatshirts on the field.

Therefore, after hearing the opening whistle, the players on either side immediately start running, and if they don't move the bullets, they will become popsicles.

Spalletti made some changes to the squad for this game, both because the club has shifted their focus to the league and because of Spartak Moscow's unique home advantage.

He sent a 191cm high school striker Rigano on the forward line, and on his wings were Montella and Di Michele, who had both speed and individual ability, Doni as the forward midfielder for the front field scheduling, Tomasi as the letting go of the back for the sweep, and Liverani replaced Jonty as the organizer of the back. The back line from left to right is Ma Minyu, Li Weifeng, Yuriano and Billindeli.

Although there was already a certain psychological preparation for Spartak's home stadium, Spalletti sent Ricano, who sat at the end of the bench. You know, Ricano's skills at this time are still very rough, except for a good body, there is nothing else. However, Spalletti found himself underestimating the poor pitch conditions, with the ball often changing its direction due to a hidden pit or something else, and the remaining snow also affecting the speed of the ball.

However, the Russian defender may not be as agile and defensively skilled as the Italian defender, but at least in terms of physique and height he is among the best in Europe. Several of Spartak Moscow's defenders and midfielders are over 1.88 meters tall, and Rigano can't hold the ball at all under their siege. Under the command of captain and defender Onopko, Spartak's players built a tall wall in their own half of the field, pushing all the balls that flew through.

Spartacus, on the other hand, were more proficient in this type of attack, and their two strikers, although they looked a little rough under their feet, were both tall and tall, and they were more than 1.9 meters tall, which made the air defense sirens frequently sounded above Prato's goal. If it weren't for the very good headers of Yuriano and Li Weifeng, and the fact that Toldo is tall and has long arms and strong control of high-altitude balls, I am afraid that Prato would have fallen behind by a large margin.

However, it was inevitable to fall behind when a corner kick was almost filled in the Prato penalty area by a tall player from Spartak Moscow.
