When Baggio appeared at a press conference in Bologna in July 1997, everyone was surprised to find that the iconic ponytail that represented his identity had been cut off by Baggio.

"I want a new life," Baggio smiled at the camera, but the smile made all the fans who loved him feel distressed: "I want to welcome a new life with a new look." ”

The braid is gone, and the old Maldini finally brought the brave Baggio under his command before the 98 World Cup, and that year, the French soil was missing the ponytail that floated behind the head of the United States, and Baggio was once again blocked out of the penalty shootout.

Baggio was stupid, he had plans to cut off his ponytail before leaving Milan, but I don't know how this Chinese teenager knew - the sentence just now: "For so many fans who love you, please keep your ponytail" made Baggio feel a lot - if the fans really support him and care for him, then no matter what he becomes, the fans will like him, but Ling Feng said that this kind of care is mutual.

As a Baggio fan, no one wants to see Baggio cut off his iconic ponytail.

Ling Feng returned to Hamburg to prepare for the next Bundesliga, at this time the five major European leagues were coming to an end, and everyone was paying attention to the league rankings and news - who was first, which teams could participate in the Champions Cup, which teams could participate in the League Cup, and at the same time, which teams were unfortunately relegated.

Fans generally hope that the league champion will not appear so early and stay in the last round to leave some suspense for everyone.

But now, with three or four rounds left in the leagues of various countries, some champions or quasi-champions have been born.

In Serie A, Juventus essentially won the league title seven points ahead of second-placed Fiorentina – and of course if they lose all three of their next three games, there is no way to do it.

The champion of La Liga is Real Madrid, who has already won the trophy three rounds in advance - Barcelona is still relatively depressed at this time.

The Ligue 1 title has not yet appeared, and the top three Auxerre, Monaco and Lyon are less than three points apart, all have a chance to win the title, as for last year's majestic Paris Saint-Germain, barely hung up a fourth-place title, which had to make Hamburg fans feel sad.

The Premier League championship fell to the "Red Devils" Manchester United in advance, and the arsenal led by Wenger still did not hinder the pace of the Red Devils, but compared to last season's sixth result, Arsenal is now the second in the Premier League, as long as Anelka and Henry and others are fully mature, Manchester United will also have to take it easy.

Compared with the French Ligue 1, which no one pays attention to, the championship competition in the Bundesliga has attracted fans all over Europe - Ling Feng, whether he can snatch this big cake from the mouth of the king Bayern has become a topic of endless debate.

In the following Bundesliga, Hamburg beat Duisburg 1-0 and Bayern Munich beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 to keep the gap at one point.

And both teams won by small means, and it can be seen that they did not show their real strength - Hamburg is due to the third-line preparation, and must preserve its strength, and Ling Feng came off the bench in the second half when the situation was not opened; Bayern have already been eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, so it stands to reason that they should be desperately fighting for all the best wins in the next few league games, so why is it also a small victory?

German Cup!

The final of the German Cup, which is also a competition between Bayern and Hamburg, the two most popular teams in the Bundesliga, anyway, now the goal difference will not help the Bayern team, as long as the next three games win, the Hamburg team has not won, then Bayern will lift the big round of Germany.

And the only one who has the strength to prevent Hamburg from winning is Dortmund.

Of course, at this time, not only the rankings are more concerned, but also the transfer of players.

Inter Milan boss Moratti has announced that Ronaldo will move from Barcelona to Inter Milan next season, while another shocking news comes from Fiorentina.

Serie A star, Prince of Melancholy Roberto Robert. Baggio will join the Purple Lily next season and form the most powerful forward line in Serie A with Batistuta!

No one dared to doubt the lethality of this forward line, especially when Ling Feng was supporting in the back, Barty and Baggio, the combination of Shuangba would be able to tear through any backline.

Before the major clubs had time to shout "wolf", the official spokesman for Fiorentina announced once again that the German star Stephen Brown. Effenberg, Hamburg's new French midfielder Patrick. Patrick Vieira and Parma centre-back Cannavaro will join the Purple Lilies next season.

Cannavaro was a substitute for Leo. Rio Ferdinand's position, because after a lot of discussion, it was felt that he could use Italian players as much as possible - Fiorentina is already a super multinational team, and this is done so as not to dampen the enthusiasm of Italian fans.

So Ling Feng first thought of Cannavaro, the captain of the Italian team who performed the best in the 06 World Cup.

What impressed Ling Feng the most was that when Italy and France had a penalty shootout, Cannavaro was the only one, he started from the first penalty, whether his teammates scored or the opponent didn't score, Cannavaro stood there motionless with his hands folded and arms!

What kind of psychological quality is this!

Therefore, after Thuram, another world-class defender was poached by Ling Feng from Parma.

Shepchenko was not mentioned because he is not qualified enough now, but by the day he rises, everyone will see a top striker come out of nowhere.

Of course, the original Fiorentina players have also gone a lot, especially the former main players - their new president bought a set of lineups all at once! There is no longer their main position, so Oliveira, Bayano and others also announced transfers, and the transfer market was suddenly busy!

The players have changed, and so has the number of the jersey, with Batistuta still his traditional number 9 and Rui as the original number ten. Costa claimed that he wanted to leave the number ten to Baggio, and he put on the robe of number seven - of course, the remote number of forty-six was still left to Ling Feng - and no one robbed him!

Now the Serie A clubs are in danger, except for Fiorentina, basically no other club wants Hamburg to win the title this year - because if Hamburg wins, the addition of Ling Feng and Vieira will bring a new improvement to Fiorentina.

No one wants to see a bunch of wolf-like guys howling and smashing their doors to the ground, and now looking at the whole world of football, I'm afraid only the Italian national team's backline can withstand the bombardment of these guys – and not necessarily.

However, this is not a bad thing for Italian fans, as the Italian league is known to carry on the fine tradition of their national team's counter-attacking defence.

Let's not talk about defensive counterattacks, it is a unique tactical play in world football - but the infuriating thing is that the current defensive counterattack has been equated with the "1:0 doctrine", which has to be regarded as the sorrow of Italy and the sorrow of world football.

Looking back at Italy in 1982, it was also a defensive counterattack, how could the championship make the world's fans so happy? Again, the reason lies in passion.

Defensive counterattacks are not without passion, and when the opponent's offensive forces are too invested and the rear defense is weak, it is the opportunity for Italy to attack in a big way - and this time, which is also the most exciting and intense time!

It's just a pity that the current defensive counterattack lacks passion, and the "1:0 doctrine" has enveloped Italy, which is like the difference between the Nine Yin True Scripture and the Nine Yin White Bone Claw in Jin Yong's novel, and the "1:0" doctrine has fallen into the lower echelons, which many fans do not want to see.

And Italy was unable to find a spiritual shadow striker as Baggio grew older - the most important role in defensive counter-attacking tactics, the golden boy Rossi in '82, and later Baggio - but unfortunately, Totti was not able to take over Baggio's class.

Who would dare to say that the new organization of Florence did not have passion?

The world's top center Batistuta, top striker Robert Batistuta, the top striker Robert. Baggio, top midfield playmaker Effingberg and Rui. Costa, the top - I don't know what position Ling Feng should be in now, so I can only reluctantly replace it with a midfielder, because this guy is too good to run - midfielders Ling Feng, Carlos and Thuram are just not at the top now, but their wings are a nightmare for all teams on the wing.

Patrick Vieira is on the horizon, Nesta and Cannavaro are the future pillars of Italy, and as for Toldo, there is probably no team that can cause too much trouble when they are bombarded by the aforementioned madmen.

So when "Torino Sports Newspaper" published the ideal squad of Fiorentina in the new season and the specialties of each player, he reluctantly added a sentence - "Francisco, pay attention not to catch a cold!" ”

If such a team is run-in, the power produced will be immeasurable, so European fans are pricking up their ears to see who can command such a team.

Fiorentina's former head coach Peralla has been laid off – it's clear that he can't drive these players with his ability, and these people are the core of the pitch, and how to play to their best to ensure the fluidity of Fiorentina's attack is something that everyone needs to pay attention to.

Think of Real Madrid, the so-called seven superstars, Ronaldo, Zidane, Beckham, Raul, Figo, Robert. Carlos has seven players, but the results in the league are not as good as those of Barcelona picked up by Ronaldinho, and the main reason is a core problem.

However, Fiorentina have not yet announced who Perala's successor will be, leaving all fans speculating that for such an attacking team, their manager should choose an attacking man who can keep the gang at bay.

Time is passing, the leagues and cups of various countries are also in full swing, and the second round of the League Cup semi-finals with the Rangers, due to Gascoigne's red card suspension and injury, the Rangers simply could not organize an effective attack, plus the away team conceded four goals, there is no power to return to the sky, in the case of Ling Feng did not play, Hamburg lost 0:1 at home, but also got the ticket to the final, and their opponent in the final is the Gunners led by Arsene Wenger - Arsenal!

Anelka called Ling Feng very excitedly, but was scolded by Ling Feng - this stinky boy, doesn't he know that the next three games in Hamburg are all tough battles?

Anelka was very aggrieved, he just hadn't seen his old friend for a long time and was too excited, Ling Feng needed this.

How did he know that Ling Feng's current mood could be described as extremely irritable!

Aside from the three particularly difficult games that are about to be played, there are a bunch of things in Florence that still give him a headache - Si Yue is busy with the control of the financial crisis and can't be separated - besides, this matter, even if Si Yue comes, it's useless, she doesn't understand it at all.

The conundrum is, who will be Fiorentina's manager next season?

In fact, Ling Feng originally meant not to have a head coach, or like Lille, to pull someone over at random, but the "good boy faction" led by Barty and Baggio firmly disagreed, the head coach is the eye of the team, and he can make the most appropriate deployment at the most critical moment, which the players cannot find on the field.

Ling Feng volunteered to be the head coach and was scolded by Effenberg, can he not know, Ling Feng, the head coach on the field, is an honest person like Montmont Beckenbauer, when he arrives in Italy, is your nickname "Silver Fox" for Lippi in vain?

Now it's about finding someone who can shock these superstars, be aggressive, and be good at talking so that everyone can let go of their hands and feet to play - the first two requirements are not too difficult, and going to Brazil is a bunch of them, but the third requirement is a bit embarrassing, a manager usually doesn't care, let the players play on the field according to their preferences, and only make a dispatch when it is critical - what other team in history has ever had such a thing.

Suddenly, a short and fat figure flashed in Ling Feng's mind, and suddenly Ling Feng slapped his thigh and jumped up, and hurriedly dialed Batistuta's phone: "The head coach has fallen!" ”

On May 27, 1997, a bolt of blue thunderbolt swept through Apinine and the whole world of football – the new head coach of Fiorentina took office – and it was Diego. Maradona!
