Volume 1 Chapter 83 Transfer Rumors
Fiorentina reversed Venezia 3-2 at home, narrowing the gap between the top six and the top six to 2 points, although finishing in the top six is by no means the ultimate goal of Fiorentina this season, but in the current strength and form, being able to bite the top six is a victory.
In this game with Venice, Fiorentina once fell behind, captain Di Livio was injured again, Fiorentina almost became a loss of his wife and soldiers, but fortunately, Chen Yu broke out after serving as the captain and led the team to reverse and get three points.
The veteran Di Livio has a muscle strain, and it is difficult to play again in the short term, and his injury still has a great impact on Fiorentina, and the veteran is recovering slowly, and Di Livio will not be able to help Fiorentina for at least a month.
Although Fiorentina only had one game against Napoli before the winter break, the winter break was only two weeks, and even if Fiorentina recruited, these soldiers would not be able to cooperate with the team immediately after they arrived, and without Di Livio, Fiorentina coach Casinwa would definitely have a headache.
After the game, Casingwa also said that Di Livio's injury had a great impact on Fiorentina, who were already stretched, and it would be difficult for him to even put out an offensive and defensive lineup in the next game against Napoli. He believes that the only thing that makes him happy is that Chen Yu bravely took on the responsibility of captain after Di Livio left the field with an injury, and Cassinwa said with emotion that "if Chen Yu can be retained, Fiorentina's captain for the next 10 years is guaranteed."
After the game, many media believed that this game was a battle for Chen Yu to succeed Di Livio.
Needless to say, as a media that happened for the Chinese, although it has only been published for more than a year, because of Chen Yu's rapid rise in Italian football, "Overseas European Daily" has also been stained, and their report on Chen Yu is not only welcomed by the Chinese, but also bought by some local Italian fans, because the Chinese reporters not only have a different perspective from Italy, but also the reporters can dig out some domestic news that Chen Yu can't get.
For Chen Yu's game, Wu Jie, a reporter from "Overseas Chinese Daily", commented: "From 1:2 to 3:2, Chen Yu, as the captain, handed over a satisfactory answer, Chen Yu not only scored two key goals, but his positive attitude also affected his teammates, so that Fiorentina's entire rhythm was one-third faster than the original, although it was only twenty minutes, but Chen Yu's leadership temperament was undoubtedly revealed, Cassinwa said that he found the captain for Fiorentina in the next ten years, this sentence is not an exaggeration, If Chen Yu can maintain such a professional attitude.
The local media in Florence, La Rita, could not be as exaggerated as the "Overseas Chinese Daily", but it was also full of praise for Chen Yu.
After the loss of the sixth-place Trana, Fiorentina also performed poorly and almost lost to Venice, which was not as good as its own ranking, but after the captain Di Livio was injured, Fiorentina woke up like a dream and played a small ** under the leadership of the interim captain Chen Yu, Chen Yu also scored twice, showing the demeanor of the leader of the first team. Di Livio will definitely not be able to play in the short term, at this time Chen Yu will become the captain of Fiorentina, whether Fiorentina can take advantage of the victory to chase and bite the points difference between the top six, in addition to looking at the clever arrangement of head coach Cassinwa, it depends on Chen Yu's performance. β
This match is very important for Fiorentina, but it is not in the eyes of the major media outlets, and in the post-match coverage, only "Milan Sport" and "Corriere della Sera" reported the game in more detail.
"Milan Sport" commented: Fiorentina in the unfavorable start, in the second half of the second half of the performance of bravery, successfully reversed the strength of Venice, which made Fiorentina a step closer to Serie A, in which the temporary captain Chen played a key role in this game, two goals and one assist, showing the style of Fiorentina's new leader. β
"Corriere della Sera" commented: "Fiorentina reversed Venice, interim captain Chen performed well, Fiorentina's three goals have his credit, if nothing else, Chen Yu will become the next captain of Fiorentina, coming to Italy for a season and a half, the Chinese guy has grown rapidly, and has now become a Chinese star that has attracted the attention of the whole of Italy." β
The team won, and the media naturally praised everything, but the praise did not improve Fiorentina's strength, and against Napoli, who were stronger than Venezia, Fiorentina's last game before the winter break without captain Di Livio would be very difficult.
In addition to the lack of major generals, affected by rumors in the transfer market, the atmosphere in the Fiorentina team is also very bad, and many players are a little depressed because the main position may not be guaranteed, and the training is no longer in shape.
In fact, Fiorentina's recruitment work has not stopped since the beginning of the league, because during the summer transfer period, Fiorentina is still preparing to play C1, and the players bought at the time of transfer do not meet the requirements of Serie B, and they must replenish their troops during the winter break, but in order to prevent affecting the morale of the team, it is also a secret for the poaching players, and Fiorentina's recruitment work is very secretive and little known.
Until the last round before the winter break, the first half of the league was about to end, and the matter of Fiorentina's recruitment was also exposed by the media.
In the entire Serie B, Fiorentina can be regarded as the richest club, the owner de la Valle brothers are Italian billionaires, with billions of assets, and their ability to burn money is expected by fans and other clubs, but when the news of Fiorentina's reinforcements was exposed, everyone was still surprised, and they didn't expect Fiorentina to have such a big arm.
The famous "Republic" newspaper broke the news: "Usually the transfer market during the winter break is a small fight, but this season's winter break transfer market will set off a bloody storm, but this time the transfer market is not the rich Inter Milan and Moratti, but Moratti's good friend De La Valle, the shoe king and his friends are very similar in spending money, often buy when they fancy it." According to people familiar with the matter, in order to impact Serie A, Fiorentina's budget investment in the winter transfer is 20 million euros, even more than many Serie A giants. Now the confirmed to join Fiorentina are all strong players, the back line has the former Piacenza little Lucarelli, Udinese little Manfredini, the former Torino and Siena central defender De Ricari, the midfielders have Lecce's midfield core Piangirelli, Reggina's Honduran first star Leon, Savini is the engine of the left side of the Ascoli team, 24 years old he is in the prime of play, in addition to these young people, Fiorentina is also ready to introduce the 33-year-old veteran Fontana, the Ascoli veteran has rich experience, He scored 42 goals in his career and is still in form.
In the forward line, although there are now Chen Yu and Rigano such goals as the center forward, but Fiorentina is obviously not satisfied, and now the legend is to join the famous Perugia Greek center Friesas, as well as AC Milan substitute striker Grafiedi, playing for Middlesbrough in the Premier League, in the second half of the Fiorentina front, there will inevitably be a fierce competition. β
The "Republic" newspaper commented: "Due to the expansion of the Serie A league next season, according to the new rules of the Italian Football Association, the promotion adopts the "five plus one" policy, that is, the last three places in Serie A are relegated to Serie B, the top five in Serie B are directly promoted, and the sixth place in Serie B and the penultimate fourth place in Serie A play play-offs to determine the last Serie A place. Arguably, this is the best time for Fiorentina to be promoted to the first division, and Fiorentina are clearly keen to take advantage of this opportunity.
Fiorentina will now have a 'quasi-Serie A' squad with the goalkeeper Sergio Seas, a former Roma substitute goalkeeper who has the nickname "Earthquake", if all the players mentioned above can be successfully joined.
In the back line, there are former Piacenza Junior Lucarelli, Udinese Junior Manfredini, former Torino and Siena centre-back Driciari, and Ancona defender Vialli. The substitutes were Triestinabacis from last season's Serie B side and Maggio from Vicenza.
In the midfield, there are Lecce's Piangirelli, Regina's Honduran No. 1 star LeΓ³n, Ascoli's left engine Savini and veteran Fontana, the original Camorani, Di Livio, more than enough to deal with Serie B.
The forward line of Fiorentina is the strongest link of the three lines, Perugia's Greek center Friezas, AC Milan's Grafiedi, Premier League Middlesbrough's Macaroone, plus the original all-round striker Chen Yu, high school forwards Rigano and Fantini, Fiorentina's forward line can even line up two sets.
"From these rumoured players, Fiorentina's goal is by no means to grab a sixth play-off qualification, they may even be aiming for next season in Serie A," commented Sport.
The Italian newspaper is excited about the possible arrival of these stars by Fiorentina, but at the same time the Fiorentina media outlet has pointed out that the results are not necessarily proportional to the buyers. Last year, Ranieri opened a bill for Abou to buy people, and the amount of money was jaw-dropping, but they are now not to mention winning the championship, even the top three are problems, the main reason is that it takes time to run-in, and if Fiorentina really buys so many big-name players at once, the biggest problem will also be "run-in". Having not yet become acquainted with each other's temperaments and developing allegiance to the new club, Kassingwa was under a lot of pressure to twist them together in a short period of time.
In just a few days, the media's information about Fiorentina's recruitment has been spread to everyone else, seeing these famous players in the newspapers and on TV, not to mention the original players from C2, that is, the players who transferred from the summer have begun to worry about their main positions, the vast majority of competitors are Serie A, the strength is not at all to say, their original sense of superiority over the strength of the old players has disappeared, and now they are interested in the players who may come over in the winter, The only advantage is that he is skilled with the veteran players.
