Chapter 254: Imperfect Valentine's Day
Effenberg finally understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.
If the team doesn't win a championship this season, Effenberg will have to pay his teammates a whopping $8 million out of his own pocket. Although this agreement is only verbal, and Tiger has always been known for its perverse behavior, the Germans who kept their promises did not find any objective reason to deny this oral agreement, but rather arrogantly admitted the validity of this agreement, and put it into writing, ready to use their own practical actions to convince their boss to pay out this bonus.
When the Fiorentina players arrived at the training ground the next day, they were surprised to find that the vice-captain, who had always liked to nap, had been running laps on the pitch early today.
me, is this still the Effenberg we know, the sun is coming out in the west?
And during training, once a player tries to sneak or be lazy, the German rushes in front of the coach to scold the lazy teammate......
The next few days were the same, when the rest of the first-team players were surprised when captain Barty "accidentally" leaked Effenberg's bet with Zhuang Mingge, which made everyone realize.
So that's what happened!
Out of "sympathy" for the vice-captain and the desire for the ultimate honor of the treble, some Fiorentina players (such as Vieri), who were initially complaining about Effenberg's recent harsh approach, immediately turned their guns and announced their support for the German's devilish coaching style, saying that they would definitely listen to the coaches and captains and contribute their own liliang and other clouds to the team......
In this atmosphere, on February 11, Fiorentina ushered in the 21st round of Serie A, and they will face Parma at home.
This season's Parma does not have the momentum and strength of last season with Juventus and Fiorentina, and the aging of the pillars of the team such as Minotti and Abroni has made this team face the biggest difficulty since promotion to Serie A. Although Parma is still in third place in the standings, the difference between the points and the leader Fiorentina is as high as 15 points is enough to show how big the gap between the two teams is.
At the same time, under the strict supervision of Effenberg, Fiorentina's training has been maintained at a very high level this week, and the Fiorentina players with a new goal have performed quite hard in training, and no one wants to lose the opportunity to hit the treble with the team at this time because of a lack of positive training attitude, after all, as long as they perform better on this road, it means that the club will provide them with a more lucrative contract.
Even if Fiorentina's offer of contract doesn't satisfy them, a Treble title can give them the capital to ask for a higher salary when they change jobs, right?
Fiorentina players who have adjusted their form to the best against Parma, who are facing a rebuild, speak for themselves.
Fiorentina didn't give the Milkmath a chance throughout the game (note: the main reason why Parma has this nickname is that the Tanzi family, who control the club, is from the milk industry, and its family business, Parmalat Company, is a famous dairy drama giant in Shijie, hence the name).
The lack of creativity of the Milkmaisan after the departure of "Parma Variant" Brolin was also vividly reflected in this game, Zola, who was pinned on by Parma coach Scala, was firmly targeted to death by his former teammate Ferrara when he played for Napoli, and the whole game was like sleepwalking; On the contrary, Roberto Baggio, who was also in the same number nine and a half position as him, did exceptionally well in this game, scoring and passing to seal the victory for Fiorentina.
2-0, the Purple Lily won Parma at home without blood, and continued to make great strides towards the road of two consecutive Serie A titles.
……
"I'll it! Got yin! This was Valentine's Day morning, Zhuang Mingge's first reaction when he learned from Antonioni about the draw for the quarterfinals of this season's European Champions Cup.
On the evening of the 13th, UEFA held a brief Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony in Nyon, Switzerland, where the four group winners and four second-place finishers will compete against each other after the results are announced, and the team that wins the group can enjoy the favorable treatment of the first away team and then the host.
The four teams that topped the group were Serie A champions Fiorentina, Russian champions Spartak Moscow, Ligue 1 champions Monaco and defending champions Ajax.
Fiorentina will certainly not be drawn with Glasgow Rangers, who finished second in the group, so the Purple Lily's quarter-finals will be between Poland's Legia, Greece's Panathinaikos and Germany's Borussia Dortmund.
The end result was that Fiorentina was quite unlucky, because the special guest of the draw ceremony, Real Madrid legend Mr. Di Stefano, drew the strongest team in the group, Bundesliga champion Borussia Dortmund, in front of Fiorentina!
"It's good that we have already met two of the four major league champions, Fiorentina." Even if Zhuang Mingge was very dissatisfied with the draw this time, there was no way to change this fait accompli, and said with a wry smile, "Fortunately, Blackburn has already been out of the group stage, otherwise I doubt that our club's opponent in the semi-finals will be the Premier League champion." ”
"Hehe......" Antonioni could only smile helplessly, he couldn't say that the main reason why Fiorentina would encounter such difficulties in the draw was that the Italian team was too strong over the years, so that UEFA had to embarrass Fiorentina, who is also an Italian team, in the schedule, right? Otherwise, every year the Italian team will be able to enter the finals of the three major European cups, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no aesthetic fatigue for the fans......
However, it is too early to discuss the Champions League ties, as the first leg of the quarter-finals will not begin until the end of March, and Fiorentina will have plenty of time to study Borussia Dortmund.
Putting the matter of Dortmund aside, after the club took care of some necessary affairs, Zhuang Mingge drove back to his villa, after all, there was a big beautiful woman living in his home.
As a result, when Zhuang Mingge, who was about to spend a shameless Valentine's Day with Karin, returned home, he found that two more "residents" in his villa had added: "Rebecca, Alyssa, why are you here?" ”
"What's the matter, Antonio, aren't we welcome?" The complaining words of Little Groz and Little Ferrero immediately made Zhuang Mingge scrambled for a while......
This year's Valentine's Day, no matter from which point of view, is not very perfect~ [Really? 】
