Chapter 474: The Dying Sampdoria
PS: In the new week, I hope you will say a lot of support, xiexie~
Successfully defending the Champions League allowed the Fiorentina players to return to Fiorentina in a very happy state of mind.
The Fiorentina fans spontaneously came to the airport to greet the heroes, and as a result, the Fiorentina players were taken aback by the overwhelming cheers as soon as they stepped out of the cabin!
"Captain, I'm not mistaken, when did we have so many fans?" Effenberg looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and pinched Barty in front of him, "When we won the championship last year, there weren't so many fans to greet us." ”
"Stefan! If you kid think you're dreaming, pinch yourself! What's the deal with pinching me? Barty slapped Effenberg's hand away with some helplessness, and said angrily, "Don't forget, before the Champions Cup final last year, we could only be regarded as a good team in the eyes of the fans; Now, Fiorentina is the first team in Italian football to win the treble! In the eyes of fans, Fiorentina is already a super giant that is not inferior to the top three in the north, and the identity is different, and the number of fans will naturally change. ”
Greeted by the fans, the Fiorentina players left the airport in a bus and returned to their training base, where they will spend the next few days of the season.
……
Although they have won the Champions Cup, the Fiorentina players did not disband on the spot, and the Fiorentina club did not contact the city government for any celebrations in the past two days, and everything seemed quite calm.
Fiorentina fans did not disagree with the club's move either, as the season is not yet completely over, and celebrating now will only have a negative impact on the team's preparations. This is not what Fiorentina fans want to see, they want to see the team create new glory...... For example, an undefeated season that is about to end!
The final match of the Serie A season will begin on June 1, with Fiorentina facing Sampdoria in the first round against the Sea Blue. This game is also of great significance to the Fiorentina players.
'We've gone 60 games unbeaten in the league so far and we haven't lost a single league game in Fiorentina this season. No matter what kind of situation we faced, even if we were two goals behind the opponent in the game, we won the victory with a reversal......" In a conference room at the Fiorentina training base, Capello put his hands behind his back and gave the players a mobilization before going to **, "Now, there is only one game left before the unbeaten championship in the season, do you have the confidence to win this Zuihou opponent and become a member of the undefeated championship team?!" ”
"Yes!"
"So, let's use a victory...... No, a big win to become the second unbeaten Serie A team in the season! Capello said this, waving his hand violently, as if to emphasize the point, "Don't think about a draw to be unbeaten for the season, that's the most unreliable idea...... Only those who want to win can get the best results! ”
"Oh!!"
Due to the gimmick of winning the title undefeated, the match between Fiorentina and Sampdoria naturally attracted a lot of attention from the media and fans.
Before the start of this game, almost all the Italian media and fans, except for Samp's die-hard fans, were overwhelmingly optimistic about Fiorentina completing the season's unbeaten season, but Sampdoria refused to admit defeat so easily. Both Samp's captain Mancini and coach Eriksen said in an interview with reporters that they would do their best to shatter the dreams of the Florentina people and let them know that the Ferraris Stadium is not a place where they can go wild at will!
On June 1st, at the Stadio Ferraris in the Italian coastal city **, the match between Fiorentina and Sampdoria officially began at the referee's whistle!
As soon as the game began, the Fiorentina players were attacking Sampdoria's goal.
Due to the huge drain on the players' stamina in the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund, Capello made a significant rotation of the starting line-up based on the advice given by the physiotherapy centre.
The goalkeeper is still Toldo, after all, a good goalkeeper can top half the team, Sampdoria's forward line of Montella and Mancini is quite sharp, and if Guadalben is put on the field, it is very likely that Fiorentina's goal will be shot into a sieve by them.
At the back, Carlos, who single-handedly opened up the entire left flank in the Champions League final, was hidden due to fitness problems, and three players, Nesta, Ferrara and Zambrotta, were also removed from the starting line-up by Capello for this reason.
Fortunato and Angeloma are separated, with the departing Verjoward partnering Dutch centre-back Stam in the middle, and this is Capello's starting backline.
In midfield, Tomasi, Zanetti and Di Biagio were given the chance to start, and the main task of the trio was to defend, freeing up Rui Costa in the midfield position and allowing him to use his attacking talents without hesitation. As for the forward line, it is dominated by Vieri and Inzaghi, two good friends who complement each other on the field and are like glue off the field.
The appearance of Rui Costa has given a touch of art to the sapper midfield composed of Tomasi, and it has also made the midfield of Purple Lily more jishu, and the probability of threatening the ball has also greatly increased.
At the same time, the biggest beneficiary of Costa's appearance is the opportunistic goalscorer Inzaghi, a penalty area fox with a ghostly off-ball run and a keen sense of goal, while the Portuguese's passing can amplify Inzaghi's threat to the extreme!
While Effenberg and Redondo's passes were also precise and threatening, it was Inzaghi himself who was more likely to call the Portuguese, often as he ran out of space and Costa's pass was at his feet.
And usually at this time, Inzaghi is in front of the opponent's goal and a panicked goalkeeper......
"Philip is too dangerous for this guy to sell him, no matter what price other teams offer. Because when he's serious, it's a disaster for the opposing defenders, because you don't know when he's going to come out and finish a shot. This was during a chat between Zhuang Mingge and Capello, and the latter commented on Inzaghi.
This time, for Inzaghi, who has scored 33 league goals, he will naturally not slip away if he wants to break Nodal's single-season scoring record.
Therefore, in the face of a spirited Inzaghi, Sampdoria, who wants to add to the blockage of Fiorentina, is just dying no matter how you look at it.
