PS: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don't need everyone to spend money, so it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~

In terms of local players, Zhuang Mingge has also made some progress. Christian Ricano, who plays for Taranto FC, moved to Fiorentina II for $20,000. The 1.91-meter-tall Italian centre-forward can effectively play the role of wide attackers such as Vincent and Franck Franck Ribery, and can also use his height advantage and strength to create opportunities for his teammates to shoot.

For the player Ricano, Zhuang Mingge still has heard of it. In his previous life, after the bankruptcy of Fiorentina, shoe tycoon de la Valle rebuilt the purple lily and spent a lot of money to try to get the team back to the top flight as quickly as possible, and also brought in a number of talented players for this purpose. And in the process, Rigano is one of the players who has contributed to the revival of Fiorentina!

In Zhuang Mingge's view, although Rigano is at best the level of the main force of the Serie A relegation team, with his ability, it is not a problem to deal with the Italian lower leagues, especially when he is assisted by excellent wingers such as Vincent and Ribery, which is enough to give full play to the strength and air superiority of this local center!

In addition, Sergio Pelissier has moved from Varese side of the League 1. The grassroots striker, who later made some name for himself at Chievo, is also not well-known at this time, and after only five goals in 26 appearances for Varese this season, he is looking to change his environment, and Fiorentina II, who are recruiting, is clearly a good choice.

Just when Zhuang Mingge was focusing on the formation of the Fiorentina second team, more than a week had passed before he knew it. And in the past week or so, Fiorentina have enjoyed two Coppa Italia finals against Lazio!

Facing the Blue Eagles, who ruined their dream of six consecutive Serie A titles, the Fiorentina players who lost the league championship trophy at the last moment shared their hatred and hatred, and vented all the resentment and sadness they had accumulated in their hearts on the head of this culprit!

The Lazio players obviously didn't realize that Fiorentina would have such a strong desire to win and revenge, and they were immersed in the joy of winning the league championship, and they even said in an interview before the game, saying that they planned to beat Fiorentina again in the next Italian Cup final, help the Blue Eagles achieve the great cause of the double, and bring this championship trophy to Rome to be exhibited!

There is a good saying, if you don't die, you won't die. After the extremely confident statements of the Lazio players reached the ears of the Fiorentina players, almost all of them had sparkles in their eyes - how dare they be so arrogant when they stole a league championship from us, if we don't teach you a good lesson this time, and let the Lazios get their wishes, the tails of these guys will not be able to reach the sky?

Fiorentina fans are also very dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude of Lazio, in their eyes, Lazio just took advantage of Fiorentina's poor form to steal a league title, what is there to be proud of? It is for this reason that although the game has not yet started, the whole Fiorentina already sees Lazio as an opponent that must be beaten!

So, in the first leg of the match between the two sides, when the confident Lazio players stepped on the turf of the Frankie Stadium, they immediately realized that something was wrong - when did Nima become so horrible at Fiorentina's home stadium? The atmosphere is almost the same as the atmosphere of Galatasaray's home stadium in the news reports!

In the face of the fierce Fiorentina players, as if they wanted to kill, the Lazio players, who were obviously not well prepared before the game, panicked. After all, they had just won the league title after a hard battle, and it was time to relax and unwind after a season's stress. As a result, what the Lazio players did not expect was that Fiorentina did not have a period of malaise because of the loss of the league title at the last moment, but on the contrary, the fighting spirit was better than before!

me, are these guys all monsters? How can you not even see the slightest expression of frustration and discouragement? This is how the Lazio players felt when they shook hands with the Fiorentina players after walking out of the tunnel.

As the captain of Lazio on the field, Glendoni, and the core of the Blue Eagles organization, Veron, are obviously thinking more in their hearts. After noticing the momentum of the Fiorentina players, their first reaction was that this game was definitely not as good as they had imagined before the game......

The Lazios, who lack the temperament and consciousness of a giant, could not have imagined that they had actually driven themselves into a dead end when they opened their mouths to say that they would beat Fiorentina again in the final!

If Lazio don't say so publicly, then the Fiorentina players may still be able to stay in the two battles due to concerns about the upcoming Champions League final, and the Blue Eagles can also have a better chance of winning the final to win the Coppa Italia title; And now, after they said that they would beat Fiorentina in the final and win the domestic league and cup double, with the temperament of Effenberg and others, it is naturally impossible to let this opponent be so arrogant!

I have to say that Grandoni's hunch really worked. Once the game began, the Fiorentina players were on the pitch in a frenzied rush almost to the point where every ball counted, not even thinking that they would have a Champions League final to play in the near future!

In the face of Fiorentina's crazy full-court pressing, the unprepared Lazio players couldn't help but panic a little, and were repeatedly tackled by Fiorentina players when passing and breaking through with the ball, and then they were hit by the opponent with a wave of rapid counterattacks, which looked extremely passive on the field!

After a long time, although Fiorentina has not scored to break the deadlock, the Lazio players have been a little unable to stand - they originally planned to use the aftermath of the league championship to win the final, and by the way use a double to celebrate the centenary of the club's birthday, but they never expected that the resistance of the Fiorentina side would be so fierce!

As time went by, seeing that the Fiorentina players still showed no signs of relaxing, but also further strengthened the scramble because of the referee's soft law enforcement style, and many Lazio players began to retreat a little when scrambling!

After all, in the eyes of these Lazio players, being able to win a league title at the end of the season is already a pretty good result, and winning the Coppa Italia is just the icing on the cake, and if they don't get it, they won't lose anything, and there is no need to fight hard for this and Fiorentina, who have already killed the red eye.

Under the influence of this thinking, many Lazio players began to play soy sauce on the field, and often chose to take the initiative to back down when faced with some opportunity balls rather than competing with their opponents. And this behavior of the Blue Eagle players just verifies the old saying: the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!

Although Lazio still have a hard-willed Predator like Nedved, the resistance of a few is insignificant when most of their teammates start to desert in the game.
