Chapter 138: The Blade Pierces the Fog II
On January 26, the Inter Milan team faced the "vice-squad leader" Venezia team at home.
In the 10th minute of the first half, Zanetti managed to steal the ball at the feet of Marrasco and pass it to Inter Milan's Andrea Pirlo.
Long pass, Vieri, the main scorer of the Inter Milan team, broke through quickly after winning the ball, and after making a one-two cooperation with Ronaldo, he shot near the penalty spot, and the ball flashed white and white waves.
After Inter took the lead, Vieri had a couple of good chances to open the net, but Vieri's shot was blocked by the defenders due to the Venezia defenders' tight marking.
However, in the 31st minute of the first half, Inter Milan scored again. It wasn't Vieri who scored this time, but Ronaldo.
He received a pass from Zanetti on the right flank, blocked the defender who was marking him, and volleyed the ball into the goal with his left foot, 2-0.
Heading into the second half, Inter Milan were firmly in control of the midfield and the game was unhurried, with Caron scoring a goal, but the goal was disallowed due to his offside position.
However, Venezia were on the verge of death and towards the end of the game, Vieri had a good chance to score, but his shot from the right side of the box slid wide.
Since the twelfth round of Serie A, plus the sixth round of supplementary matches, the Inter Milan team has won ten consecutive victories, and the "Starlight newspaper" is extremely touted for the Inter Milan team.
At this time, a big event happened in Italian football, not the change of the president of the Inter Milan club, but the change of the owner of the Fiorentina team.
Back in the 99/00 season, Fiorentina FC had actually started to go downhill.
Club President Cherry? Goori and the club's board of directors did not adopt the right measures such as investing money to buy players for blood and rebuilding to save the team, but still used the Serie A giants to claim to be the giants, selling the club's symbol of the god of war Barty, and the "high price" in exchange for the purchase of Brazilian star Edmundo, Italian international Chiesa and other players.
The beast was a free-spirited Brazilian, while the old Italian international had reached the age of constant injuries, and the Fiorentina club was greatly weakened, barely retaining the first division qualification that year.
However, due to Barty's departure and the team's declining results, the club has encountered unprecedented difficulties in terms of operation.
With a large number of fans lost and the team discouraged, in the summer, movie tycoon Cherry? Gouri not only did not want to make progress, but instead sold the club's pillars Rui Costa and goalkeeper Toldo, which contributed to the team's deterioration.
After the New Year, if it weren't for the water city of Venice at the bottom, the financially strapped Fiorentina team would be the vice-president. In this way, the Fiorentina team is now at the end of 17 league rounds, with only 4 wins, 2 draws and 11 defeats, only 14 points, and the second from the bottom of the Serie A standings.
Fiorentina, meanwhile, scored 18 goals but conceded 35, an average of just over two goals per game, the most goals conceded of any team and the most goal difference, the first time since 1992 that the team is in danger of relegation.
It is not easy to sell 51.2% of the shares of the Fiorentina team in the hands of Cherrigori, not because no one wants to take over, but because his shares are too small, and the other shares of Fiorentina are scattered in the hands of other shareholders on the board, and whoever takes over will face the constraints of these shareholders.
Last year, the club's top management, represented by Fiorentina managing director Scoqinti, resigned after a direct conflict with Cherrigori, followed by the departure of general manager Antonioni, head coach Trim and other senior executives, which was called the "Fiorentina club court coup".
Speaking to the media, the film distributor reluctantly, Cherigori said: "I'm ready to walk away quietly, but the rest of the people will fill my void because they are going to ruin the club." ”
Untruthful fans once again erupted in mass protests, accusing Cherrigori of putting the team in a precarious predicament......
But no matter what, once one of the seven sisters of Serie A, and now the Fiorentina team with internal and external troubles, the luxury and prosperity passed in an instant, which surprised everyone.
If Fiorentina don't inject new blood, the "purple army" is likely to be out of Serie A next season, which is somewhat regrettable.
However, in the face of the huge debts of the Fiorentina team, the relationship between the club and the fans has fallen into a frozen period, and there is a possibility of another "Fiorentina court coup", no matter who is the investor of the Fiorentina team, they have to face such difficult facts......
The most prohibitive thing for investors is the current results of the Fiorentina team, no one wants to buy a Serie A team, and in a few months it will become a Serie B football club, isn't that a big hen becoming a big rooster?
Just when everyone thought that the Fiorentina team would slide to the grave, a "star" group registered in the Virgin Islands spent 50 million US dollars in cash to buy all the shares of the Fiorentina team with a loss of more than 100 million US dollars, and took over all the club's debts......
Gerfi, who came from the Inter Milan club and served as the vice president of the Florence club, said to the media with emotion: "The Fiorentina team belongs to Italy, belongs to the whole city of Florence, and belongs to the fans who love the purple lily, and no one is qualified to let him sink!" ”
Antonioni, the former general manager of the Fiorentina team and one of the iconic stars of the Fiorentina team, also returned to the position of general manager of the club, and he said affectionately: "For the glory of the purple lily, to keep the Florence team's place in Serie A, we have to work hard, so I'm back!" ”
Fiorentina coach Roberto Mancini, who is struggling with the difficult situation, also told reporters earlier: "My family and I have been threatened by the fans because of the team's results, and for the safety of my wife and three children, I don't think I can take on the job of Fiorentina manager anymore." ”
Now, Roberto Mancini is cheering in the media: "There are 14 games left in Serie A, which means we have 14 more games to get our team out of the current situation." I hope that everyone here, including myself, will take full responsibility. What I need most is the support of the fans and I hope you will stay with us. Anything can happen on the pitch and in reality, the Europa League is not far away. ”
Media reporters were surprised when they heard Mancini's words, Fiorentina, which is in the bottom two of the league standings, can be relegated is pie in the sky, but how can He De look up to the top six in Serie A?..
