Volume I, Chapter 303
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and there was not a single fan standing in the stands.
Fiorentina fans jumped and danced, clapping their almost numb palms and singing the Fiorentina anthem in celebration of Fiorentina's reach for the final.
Looking at the bright red and glaring score on the electronic scoreboard, Spalletti looked up to the sky and sighed, the hope of the last title was finally lost, and today, Udinese did not have a chance, they were very close to the final, but in the end they still missed the final.
What changed the fate of Udinese was the Chinese who was thrown into the air by his teammates, Fiorentina scored a total of 5 goals, Chen Yu scored three alone, and each of them was very crucial, playing when Udinese just saw hope, making Spalletti want to vomit blood.
Now that the game is finally over, Spalletti is also relieved, Udinese's season is basically over, the next two league games have little to do with Udinese, they can't enter the Champions League, and the League Cup seats can't run, the victory or defeat is meaningless, Udinese can prepare for next season in advance.
Looking at the enthusiastic celebration of Busso, Spalletti couldn't help but smile bitterly, Busso has no outstanding ability, basically to continue Mondonico's tactics, relying on familiarity with the players, Chen Yu can complete the fatal blow at the critical moment, but it is such a coach, or the goalkeeper coach, he actually won him.
"If I could have him......"
Spalletti looked at Chen Yu, his eyes showed an eager look, he really wanted to have such a player, but he knew that maybe a year ago, when Chen Yu was in the second division, he had the opportunity to have such a player, but now, he has no possibility, this Chinese is worth at least UU million, and those who want to chase him must still be giants, Udinese is not even comparable to Fiorentina's heritage, what qualifications are there to have such a rising superstar.
The VIP box at Frankie Stadium is long gone, Diego. Della Valle was among the fans after the match to celebrate Fiorentina's return to the Coppa Italia final after five years.
After the ups and downs of the league, Della Valle has a deeper understanding of Serie A, he began to reflect on the failure of Moratti's Inter model, he is no longer superstitious about the power of money, money can buy stars, but it can't buy unity, it can't buy loyalty, he needs time and patience, now he has a Champions League place, reached the final of the Coppa Italia, he is basically satisfied, of course, if he can win the 7th Coppa Italia title in Fiorentina history, he will be happier, as for the league title, De La Valle is going with the flow, it's a shocking joy to get it, it doesn't matter if you can't get it, isn't there still a chance next season? If it doesn't work, next season, Moratti's Inter Milan has been waiting for almost ten years, isn't it still a Coppa Italia championship that has not been won.
After a lively celebration with the fans, the Fiorentina players began to give interviews to reporters.
Because Hidetoshi Nakata sat on the bench and did not play, the arrogant Japanese had no shame to accept the reporter's interview and returned to the locker room early, and the Japanese reporter and the Chinese reporter ran to Chen Yu's side
"How did you feel when you got to the finals? Are you confident of winning the title? Chinese journalist Jia Ya asked.
"It's very exciting, it's my first Coppa Italia final, and of course I've never been to a final in any tournament before, so it's an amazing feeling. Inter Milan are a very strong team but we are confident of winning this trophy. ”
Chen Yu put the wet jersey on his body and said excitedly.
'Udinese were hard to play, they equalised at one point, did you ever think about being eliminated?' Another Chinese journalist, Liu Ming, asked.
"No, we've always taken the initiative, we're hungry to reach the final, and with more than 40,000 fans, no, millions of fans all over the world, we have enough confidence to beat our opponents."
Chen Yu is full of confidence, in fact, in the game, he also felt difficult for a while.
"You fought hard with Udinese in this game, will this affect the league, have you decided to put the league in second place?" A Japanese journalist asked.
Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "No, the league will always come first, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will not give up." ”
"With two rounds of league games remaining, AC Milan and Juventus are level on points, and Fiorentina are three points behind the top two, which team do you think will win the title at the bottom of the table?" Italian journalist said.
Chen Yu pointed to the team emblem on his chest and said, "Florence." ”
"God, you think you can win the championship?" The reporters were shocked.
Chen Yu said: "Yes, we still have hope, right?" If both Juventus and AC Milan lose and we beat Cagliari, we are the leaders. ”
The reporters laughed and laughed, they didn't expect Chen Yu's confidence to be based on assumptions.
"How likely is it that Juventus and AC Milan will lose at the same time? What are the chances of Juventus and AC Milan losing at the same time and Fiorentina winning? An Italian reporter asked bitterly.
Chen Yu smiled, "It's much bigger than buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot." ”
Italian journalists were speechless.
"Will you move at the end of the season?" A journalist threw out a question that everyone was concerned about.
"No, I'm living well in Florence and I'm going to win all the titles for Fiorentina."
"Do you mean to say you win the championship and then leave?" The Japanese reporter asked again.
"You misunderstood what I meant, I don't believe that the reporter's understanding is so poor, so I think your question is ill-intentioned."
After Chen Yu answered a few questions sharply, he turned around and left the court to go back to the locker room.
As soon as Chen Yu pushed open the door of the dressing room, he was sprayed with a bottle of champagne.
"Ha Lu Ha we have been waiting for you for a long time, you are finally back"
"Captain, we're in the final"
"We're going to win the championship"
Chen Yu wiped a handful of champagne on his face, and when he looked up, his teammates were all wet, obviously just having a champagne battle.
"What's wrong with reaching the finals, it's not too early to celebrate winning the championship."
Chen Yu behaved very calmly.
"It doesn't matter if he wins the championship or not, we won anyway."
"It's just, if you win, you have to celebrate."
"It's almost the same as winning the final."
The teammates were gossiping around Chen Yu, and some people continued to spray champagne on Chen Yu's body, Chen Yu didn't care, he hadn't taken a shower yet, so he just let them do it.
At this time, the head coach Busso walked in, he was also served with champagne by the players, Busso was not angry, he had a good relationship with the Fiorentina players when he was the goalkeeper coach, he covered his face and neck with his hands, "Don't spray here, I have to attend a press conference when I go back." ”
"Let's wear tracksuits."
The Fiorentina players ignored Busso's pleas for mercy and sprayed the coach's tea-drinking suit wet.
Chen Yuha smiled and said, "Okay, it's just time for us to take a bath together." ”
Busso smiled bitterly: "Okay, you come with me to the press conference after taking a shower." ”
Chen Yu looked generous and righteous, and said, "No problem, I'll escort you, coach." ”
"Less nonsense, go take a shower, it's not too early."
Buso slapped Chen Yu and took the lead in the bathroom.
After taking a shower, Busso changed into a sportswear, and he said to the players with a smile: "Thank you for your efforts today, your performance is world-class, I believe that if everyone performs like this today, the Coppa Italia championship must belong to our ......"
Busso's words were interrupted by the applause of the players, who were enthusiastic at this time, and the players were so excited that they couldn't wait to play another game with Udinese.
“…… We must not give up in the league, we have reached this point and we have to be well prepared, no matter how small the chances are. We all want the cup and the league, and we must not give up any of the championships on our own initiative......"
Busso's words made the players even more emotional, and the applause in the dressing room lasted for a long time.
After taking a shower, Busso took Chen Yu to the hall of the press conference, where Udinese's head coach Spalletti was already sitting.
After the two managers shook hands, the press officer announced the start of the press conference.
Busso first politely complimented Spalletti and said: "It was a tough game, arguably one of the most important games of my life, Udinese played very well, very tenacious, we didn't confirm the win until the last of the day, reached the final of the Coppa Italia, this is the first time we have reached the final in five years, next, we will compete with Inter Milan for the title, Inter Milan is also a strong team, but we have come to this point, and we must not admit defeat again, We can only have one goal: to fight for money. ”
Udinese coach Spalletti is a loser, he also has the consciousness of a loser, he doesn't want to steal the limelight of the winner, of course, he can't steal it, unless it's a bad limelight, he didn't talk much, just talked coldly about his views on the game.
"Congratulations to Fiorentina for qualifying, the teams that performed well were promoted, the teams that didn't perform well were eliminated, this is competitive football, I have no complaints about it, today we played the same badly, but our strikers are not as good as their opponents, and this is the biggest gap between us and the strong teams."
In the next reporter's question time, Spalletti was ignored, the reporters' target was Chen Yu and Busso, but they had only one purpose, that is, to ask the fate of the two people after the end of the season, and this is what Chen Yu and Busso are more taboo, at first Chen Yu and Buso still wanted to get by, but then saw that no, Chen Yu and Buso left the hall one after another, but left Spalletti behind, Spalletti was shrewd like a monkey, and when he saw Chen Yu and Busso leaving, he also found an excuse to slip away, The press officer had no choice but to announce the end of the press conference.
