Chapter 43: The Battle for the Shooter List

At the end of the national team break, the players returned to their clubs one after another, and the five major leagues after a week's break suddenly became lively again.

However, some people are happy, some people are worried, the players of the national team who successfully qualify for the European Cup are naturally refreshed, light and healthy, and running 10,000 meters in one breath is the same as playing, but another group of people are not so happy, especially those of Portuguese and English nationality, as a traditional European powerhouse, they can't even play a small European Cup, you can imagine their depressed mood.

"Rod! I want to congratulate you! ”

By the time Prandelli arrived at the Fiorentina training ground, Deegan was already warming up with a jog.

Degan also ran over with a smile when he saw Prandelli, he was in a good mood, and of course it would have been better if UEFA had been able to ignore him and beat Pepe to a pig's head and avoid punishment against him.

"Hello! Instructor! But I don't think that's good news for Italy! Deegan also teased.

Prandley shrugged his shoulders and said, "No! I don't think so, as much as I would like Italy to do well, but that seems to be Donadoni's concern. ”

Digan smiled when he heard this, he knew that Prandelli had some opinions on the Italian Football Association's hiring of Donadoni as the head coach of the national team, after Lippi retired, the most promising to become the head coach of the national team were Donadoni and Prandelli, but in the end, the Italian Football Association actually chose Donadoni, who was not as good as Prandelli in terms of fame and results, which made Prandelli, who wanted to become the head coach of the national team and prove himself on the international stage, very dissatisfied.

"Do you want me to fix the Italian national team at the European Championships, if that's the case, maybe you can take his place!"

Of course, Digan knows that even according to the historical trajectory of his previous life, Donadoni was dismissed by the Italian Football Federation because of his unsatisfactory results in the European Cup, and Prandelli did not have a chance to sit in that position, and it was Lippi who led the team in the Shijie Cup in South Africa, but Lippi also failed to continue his glory again, and then it was Prandelli's turn.

It's just that everything has changed now, and it is uncertain whether Prandley will have this opportunity or not.

Prandelli was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Forget it, although I don't like Donadoni, I still hope to see Italy do well in the European Cup!" ”

Prandelli said, catching up with Degan and jogging with him.

"Rod! I know what happened in the game, and although it wasn't your fault, I still hope that you can control your emotions in the future games, you are the captain of the team, and you are responsible for the whole team. ”

Degan guessed that Prandley would say such things to him, and this time UEFA was merciful, although it is not known what the inside situation is, but the three-game ban is obviously inconsistent with the nature of the violence on the pitch.

If such a thing happens in Serie A, Digan will be banned for at least 10 games, and it will only be the club that suffers.

Fiorentina are in a very good situation right now, with a full squad and a good start to the league, and Prandelli does not want the absolute core of the team to be banned by the Italian Football Federation for playing people.

"I can promise you, but as you just said, it's not my fault, and although I admit that my reaction is a little more intense, but if the same thing happens again, I can't guarantee that I won't shake my fist!"

Being beaten up and not even letting out a fart, that's definitely not Degan's character.

Prandley was helpless when he heard this, he knew that these words were in vain to Degan, this guy usually looks harmless to humans and animals, but as long as others provoke him, it will definitely be a big explosion at the level of nuclear fission.

At this time, the players also arrived one after another, and it seemed that everyone was in a very good temperament, and the Fiorentina internationals, except for Hamsik of the Slovak national team, all played for teams that had qualified for the European Championship.

Seeing that Hamsik's mood was not good, Deegan said a word to Prandley and walked over: "Marek! You seem to have something on your mind! ”

Hamsik's thoughts, Digan also guessed, it is nothing more than that Slovakia failed to qualify for the European Cup, Hamsik played such an important game for the first time for the country, but got such a result, young people will inevitably have some pimples in their hearts, but this is also something that cannot be helped, compared with other teams in the group, Slovakia is still too weak.

With the exception of Hamsik, who was an instant hit at Fiorentina last season, Slovakia really don't have any players who can do it.

Hamsik forced a smile: "Captain! I haven't congratulated you yet! Congratulations! That game was great, it was just ~~~~~~"

Hamsik paused at this point, looking a little embarrassed.

Degan smiled and continued: "It's a pity that what happened to Zuihou made that game a little unpleasant!" ”

Hamsik hurriedly said: "Captain! That's not your fault! I think if I were in that situation, I wouldn't be able to control myself! ”

Digan knows that Hamsik is telling the truth, don't look at Hamsik's feeling a little shy, this guy is definitely a temper tantrum on the field, in Digan's previous life, when Hamsik played for Napoli, he often got a red card for retaliating against his opponent on the field.

"Marek, don't take it personally, you're still young and you still have a lot of opportunities, I'm sure Slovakia will get the chance to prove itself on the big stage!"

Although Digan is less than two years older than Hamsik, he speaks with a sense of old-fashionedness, and the most surprising thing is that it is not surprising that he says so.

No way, in Florence, Deganco is an absolute authority figure.

Patting Hamsik on the shoulder, Digan beckoned the rest of his teammates to gather, their game was on Sunday, and in the next few days, all they had to do was recovery training, the international players in the team, a whole week to travel back and forth to several countries, and played two high-intensity games, even the iron man, a little unbearable.

In midweek, there was also a match, the UEFA Super Cup, AC Milan vs Sevilla, the match was played in Spain, and in the end, AC Milan won 2-0 thanks to two goals from Kaka to lift their third trophy of the year.

Kaka's state, so that the local media in Milan is also cheering, from the beginning of the new season, Kaka has given people an aggressive feeling, excellent competitive state, so that AC Milan club up and down the confidence is also a little enough, Ancelotti in the press conference after defending the European Super Cup, even failed to control his excitement for a while, blurted out to defend the Champions League champion again in the new season.

Carlo Ancelotti seems to be full of confidence, but people's expectations of AC Milan are not as confident as him, compared to AC Milan last season, although the Milan squad has been strengthened this season, but the problems on the most critical forward line have not been solved.

After Ronaldo's return from injury, the state still needs to be tested by the game, Inzaghi is getting older, and his form cannot be guaranteed, at least it is impossible to fight continuously like in previous seasons, Gilardino has not been able to reach the heights expected since his transfer to AC Milan, and there is still one Pato left, although people's expectations for him are very high, but what his ability is, it will not be seen until January.

Relying on a Kaka who is not a striker, AC Milan wants to achieve good results on all three fronts, especially the rare Champions League to defend again, which is not ordinary.

AC Milan came home with a lot of glory, and Inter Milan, who were city rivals, were not to be outdone, and in the second round of the league, Inter Milan won against Empoli.

After losing to Roma in the Super Cup and being held to a draw in the first round of the league, Roberto Mancini desperately needed a win to stabilize his position.

Toldo replaced the suspended Cesar with a red card, Samuel replaced the injured Materazzi, and Ade was once again out of the squad. It is worth noting that Inter Milan only had one local player in the starting line-up for this game, while Empoli started with only one foreign player in Uruguayan midfielder Giacomasi.

In the fourteenth minute of the game, Inter Milan took the lead. Stankovic crossed diagonally in the middle, McCone took the ball on the right side and shook off Tosto with his left foot, and Ibrahimovic volleyed into the net at a small angle with the outside of his right instep, 1:0. It was Ibrahimovic's first goal of the season.

Empoli is certainly not willing to fail, the last big score lost to Fiorentina, this game, they also hope to regain confidence in Inter Milan, but the difference in strength is on the bright side, Empoli's players are very hard, but they are far from scoring.

In the eighty-third minute, Inter Milan locked the win, McCone threw the ball into the sideline on the right side, Figo and Stankovic kicked the wall together, knocked back after a long run along the right side, Cesar transferred his left foot to the middle of the penalty area at the edge of the penalty area, and Ibrahimovic again, the anti-offside position was successful, and the right-footed shot, although the Empoli goalkeeper stretched his leg and touched the ball, but still could not prevent the ball from going into the net, 2:0!

Inter Milan picked up their first win of the season on the road.

Ibrahimovic, who scored twice, also equalized Kaka in the scorers' charts, only one goal behind Trezeguet and Digan, who scored hat-tricks in the previous round, and began his contention for the league scorers' charts.

Ibrahimovic proved himself with two goals, but while the Swedes were celebrating the victory and the Inter fans and media were chanting the praises of the Swedish tower, one man looked particularly bleak.

This person is Adriano, who was not selected for the game squad, unable to play in the league, and the Brazilian was also selected for Inter Milan's Champions Cup squad, in fact, before the defeat, the rumors had already spread, and he could no longer hide idle, Adriano, who avoided reporters, explained indifferently in an interview: "Coach Mancini didn't say to me, 'We're definitely going to exclude you', he just explained to me that there is such a possibility, and it is being considered, which is an idea." I replied: 'You just have to do what you have to do, and if I can make it to the championship, I'll play, otherwise I'll play other fights, as long as I can.' ’”

After the Champions Cup squad was announced, Adriano met reporters again, and his answer this time was succinct: "Mancini told me everything, everything is fine. ”

Will the former Inter king Weishenme be selected for the UEFA Cup, but Weishenme is Adriano?

Inter Milan's official statement is "Jishu's choice", but the club said that it would lease the Brazilian in the previous paragraph, and Adriano said that he would either stay in the team or transfer permanently.

Normally, since Adriano stayed, in order to avoid his permanent transfer in the winter, he should be given more opportunities anyway, and it is unknown whether it is difficult to free up one of the 25 places, but if Adriano stays, then even a little sacrifice is worth it, after all, the Brazilian is not so decadent that he can't play.

However, yesterday's publication of "Slow Motion" revealed that Adriano suffered such a heavy hand this time, or there was something else.

"Slow Motion" revealed two things, one is that in a physical examination of Inter Milan not long ago, Adriano was found to have a high alcohol content in his body again, and the so-called vow to quit drinking in the previous paragraph became empty talk, because Inter Milan and Adriano's agent said that he would strictly restrict his off-field behavior first, so he was fined 40,000 euros, which has been disclosed in the "Corriere della Sera" a few days ago.

The other thing is that Adriano privately said that he wants to go to AC Milan, after Ronaldo defected to AC Milan, AC Milan has become a word within Inter Milan that is prohibited from transfers, Moratti is said to be very angry about this, it is not difficult to imagine that Adriano Weishenme was stripped from the Champions League squad, and the last time a reporter asked Moratti about Adriano, the president of Inter Milan looked very angry: "You don't ask, ask me again and I'll leave." ”

It is unclear whether Inter Milan's final attitude towards Adriano will be to punish or give up, but such an approach will be tantamount to pulling Ade and the club further and further, and Recoba, who is far away in Turin, said: "I think Adriano will leave if the situation does not improve in the winter, just like me now." ”

Now it seems that Recoba's prophecy is about to come true.

Inter Milan won and Juventus, who had a good start in the last round, also won, and it may be a bit inappropriate to say that they are promoted horses, but this is the case.

Tinker Ranieri returned to his old club, where he began his coaching career in Cagliari in the 1988/89 season, leading them to two levels in a row.

In the first half, Juventus were clearly at a disadvantage, after the opening, Cagliari continued to put pressure on Juventus, and continued to get good scoring opportunities, and in the second minute, Cagliari played a free-kick tactical combination, and Larivi's shot from the left was blocked by Buffon. In the fifth minute, Foggia counter-attacked through Matri, and Buffon rushed out of the box in time to destroy. In the eighth minute, Nedved tackled Pisano, Cagliari took a free-kick, and Conte's shot from the edge of the box was blocked by Buffon.

Cagliari played with a strong attack, especially on the right flank, with Foggia, who came through the Milan Academy, particularly active.

It wasn't until the fourteenth minute that Juventus had their first shot on goal, but Piero's shot from the edge of the box was too positive and was easily won by the Cagliari goalkeeper.

After the break, Juventus obviously strengthened their attack, and finally in the fifty-third minute of the game, the deadlock of the game was broken, Trezeguet, who had almost disappeared, broke the deadlock for Juventus, Chiellini crossed from the left, Camoranesi was knocked over at the back point, but Trezeguet volleyed into the net with a left-footed volley in front of the goal, 1:0.

However, Juventus didn't have the lead for long, and just two minutes later, Lerotari pulled down Matri while clearing the ball in the middle of the box, and took a penalty!

Foggia volleyed a left-footed volley to the right side of the goal, and although Buffon judged correctly and sealed it with one hand, the ball slowly rolled into the goal, and the score became 1:1.

In the 76th minute of the game, Juventus took the lead again, Almiron passed the ball over the top on the right side, Camoranesi did not wait for the ball to land on the right side of the penalty area, and directly volleyed with his right foot past the attacking goalkeeper Fording, and the outflanked Piero almost blocked the goal with his right foot on the goal line, and Juve exceeded 2:1 again.

But just like the first time, just two minutes later, Zebina pulled down Larevi in the penalty area, and it was another penalty!

It was Foggia who took the penalty and this time he deceived Gianluigi Buffon and fired a left-footed shot into the right side of the goal.

The emotional Zebina continued to protest to the referee, only to receive a red card, applaud the fans amid a chorus of boos, and the French villain then slapped the sideline broadcaster, for which he could receive additional penalties.

Seeing that the game was about to end in a draw, in the 90th minute, Trezeguet became the savior of Juventus, Camoranesi's free kick on the right side was passed diagonally to the back point, Trezeguet was 5 meters in front of the goal, and scored in the near corner, Juventus won 3:2!

The score was maintained until the end of the game, and Juventus returned to Serie A with two consecutive wins.

Ranieri is known as the tinkerer for his first time in charge of a big club, and so far he seems to be doing a very good job, and in an interview after the game, Ranieri added: "If I had been told 20 years ago that I would be back in Cagliari as Juventus manager, I would not have believed it. It's like you want a regular car and someone else gives you a Ferrari. ”

It is true that for Cagliari, Piero and Trezeguet's forward line is indeed Ferrari, but the dazzling sports car is not capable of driving at the speed of the wind on all the pitches, and the difficulties of the first half have been a wake-up call for the players, and the situation on the pitch is completely in the hands of the opponents.

However, the persistence of the Juventus players brought them a victory.

Speaking after the game, Ranieri thanked his players for their persistence: "The first half was very difficult, but we fought back bravely in the second half. Cagliari are a good group, especially their pace, and if they continue to play like this, they will cause problems for a lot of teams. ”

The biggest contributor to the game, of course, was Trezeguet, who scored a hat-trick in the first game and scored twice in the second, and is currently leading the scorers with five goals, and he also scored his 99th goal at Juventus in this game, just one step away from his perfect score at Juventus.

Before coming to Cagliari, after scoring his first hat-trick, almost everyone was expecting him to score another hat-trick and take his career record to a new level.

But Trezeguet's answer: "Now I'm only thinking about Juventus, and the team win is the most important thing." ”

Although he failed to score another hat-trick, his brace still made the Frenchman the biggest contributor to this game, Juventus.

Like the rest of the team, the Frenchman had a rough start to the game, barely getting any chance to perform, not even a decent shot on goal before breaking the deadlock for his side. Trezeguet seemed to disappear from the field until the 53rd minute, when he came out of the scuffle in the box and left the Cagliari defenders unguarded, and then slammed a sword in the middle of the game to bring the team a victory.

Trezeguet scored 99 goals for Juventus in the league. And among the active players, the one with the most goals in the Juventus league is captain Piero with 135.

After the game, the two who helped the team take the lead three times in the game hugged each other tightly and celebrated each other.

Speaking about the team's start to the season, Trezeguet said: "The secret to our amazing start? I'll tell you the truth, the name of the secret is Champion. ”

With such a player, Ranieri spoke with confidence: "League champion? I believe. We've got a strong team and everyone's hard work will pay off, and the goal is to qualify for the Champions Cup, but it's all within our reach. ”

However, despite scoring in a row at club, Trezeguet was in an awkward position in the national team, and although he sat on the bench in the two games of the French team last week, Trezeguet did not get a minute to play.

Ranieri also complained about the cold reception Trezeguet received in the national team: "Trezeguet is having trouble in the French team? I don't think so, I think Domenik must be hoping to qualify for the European Championships, although he succeeded, but the process of the game was very difficult, if he didn't let Trezeguet play, it would only mean that he was content with the status quo, if it was my choice, David would always be the starter. ”

For Trezeguet, although he can still be named in the French squad, the fact is that he has not played for France for a long time since the end of the Shijie Cup in Germany.

Trezeguet seems to have accepted this situation, completely adjusting the focus of his work to the club competition, and he is very happy with Juventus's current results: "This season, we are on the same starting line with everyone else, we are starting from scratch, there are a lot of young people in the team, I see the anger in everyone's eyes, the courage to fight for a turnaround, we weishenme want to be complacent about a little result? This past season, we will never forget. Shooter Charts! All right! I'll admit I do have some ideas about being the top scorer, but I have too many competitors, Fiorentina's Digan, Inter Milan's Ibrahimovic, AC Milan's Kaka and of course not forgetting my good friend Piero, they are all great goalscorers and can bring a lot of goals at any time. ”

In the standings, Juventus rose to first place in the first round, and Roma, who also won in this round, ranked second because of the disadvantage of goal difference.

The competition for the top spot in the league is fierce, but the competition for the top spot in the top scorer looks even more fierce with Digan and Ibrahimovic last season, and Trezeguet is a strong contender, with five goals in two league games, and the Frenchman's goalscoring efficiency is staggering.

In the second round of the league, Fiorentina took on AC Milan away and got an extra day of rest as AC Milan played in the UEFA Super Cup in midweek.

As the top contender for the league's top scorer, Trezeguet's top opponents, Trezeguet, continued their good form in the first round, and Ibrahimovic also opened up, scoring two goals in this round.

Deegan certainly can't afford to fall behind.

However, AC Milan's current state cannot be underestimated, the league has made a good start, and has just won the European Super Cup, and the morale is high, plus Kaka's current state can basically be called a small rebellion.

scored twice in the first round of the league and beat Sevilla by two goals in the UEFA Super Cup, constantly increasing the chips for the Shijie Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or.

In addition, this game is played at AC Milan's home stadium of San Siro, although Milan's players have been fighting continuously in recent times, and there will definitely be some problems in physical fitness, but before the game starts, people are still unanimously optimistic that AC Milan will win Fiorentina at home to avenge the double last season.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing in this game is the duel between the Wright brothers, which is almost the best bridge in Serie A, and the two brothers are their own masters, competing together, which can always attract the attention of countless people.

Previously, Deegan can be said to have always been in the perspective of the winner, whether it is for the club or the national team.

The only thing people feel sorry for is that there seems to be a little less of such a matchup, but this season, the situation is different, the Champions League is in the same group, if the Coppa Italia, the two brothers can still collide, they will be on three fronts, competing at the same time, and the game will be exciting.
