Chapter 103: Before the Winter Break
Figo made the trouble himself, and let him watch it take care of it......
Anyway, Zuihou will always have someone who wants him......
Karin also agreed with Zhuang Mingge's approach after listening to the "Figo battle" between Juventus and Parma explained to her. Although Karin is not a time-traveler, she can also imagine that Figo, who has signed legally binding contracts with two clubs, will definitely be in big trouble, and Fiorentina does not need to get involved in this matter and cause a fire.
Let Moji and Lao Tanji go to grab Figo, anyway, Zuihou is also an empty ending......
Fiorentina just need to buy their own dish at a bargain price when all eyes are on a few favourites.
Zhuang Mingge is not a good person, there is no need to see anyone in trouble to help, besides, in Italian football these days, good people are bullied, such as Boss Mo......
Sure enough, as Zhuang Mingge expected, after Moggie got the contact information of Figo's agent from Zhuang Mingge, he immediately flew to Lisbon with a revised contract, wanting to make the Portuguese wings change their minds.
How could the young and ambitious Figo agree to a contract with Juventus? After all, if you go to Juventus, you will definitely sit on the bench and waste your youth (Juve have three unbeatable foreign players at this time: Didier Deschamps, Paulo Sousa and Coral Corel, and Figo's position can be topped by many local players).
But it's different when you go to Parma, Parma is in a period of alternation between the old and the new, and the group of meritorious players who played the world before have begun to pass their peak and are gradually aging, and the young Figo will definitely have more room for development after he goes.
So the Portuguese did not hesitate to reject Moggi's offer......
So, the embarrassed and angry Juventus immediately stabbed the matter to the Italian Football Federation......
During this time, Zhuang Mingge stayed in his villa in Florence, paying attention to the dispute between Juventus and Parma every day.
Now let's turn our attention back to football and take a look at Fiorentina's performance in December.
After Fiorentina drew away at Juventus in their first game in December, many of Fiorentina's fitness began to decline due to their recent back-to-back games. The two doctors, Carter and Nelson, who detected the situation, ordered nine key players, including Batistuta and Effenberg, to be forced to rest, so Ranieri had to send a large number of substitutes and young players to participate in the second leg of the second round of the Coppa Italia.
As you can imagine, Fiorentina unsurprisingly were beaten 3-0 by the "Blue Eagles" at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and unfortunately exited the Coppa Italia.
However, Ranieri and the Purple Lily's players have no time to regret the result and will soon return to Fiorentina for the next game.
Three days later, on December 11, in the thirteenth round of Serie A, Fiorentina welcomed another capital team at home - "Red Wolves" Roma.
This season, the Roma team led by stars such as Aldair and Balbo performed well, with 6 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss, while Fiorentina, which has only scored two draws and two losses in the last four games, is considered by many "experts" to be the embodiment of the true strength of the purple lily, and they have emerged from the horns to claim that Fiorentina's excellent performance at the beginning of the season is just a flash in the pan, and this promoted polo team will soon be beaten back to its original shape.
Before the game, several key players who had been forced to rest for a week were finally "released" from the physiotherapy center, and Ranieri, who was anxious because of the poor results, immediately put them in the starting line-up.
Roma, under the command of new manager Mazzoni, played the home team Fiorentina at the Estadio Franchio Frankie, and both sides created a number of good chances, but unfortunately all of them missed the goal.
In the end, Fiorentina narrowly beat Roma by one goal thanks to Batistuta's header just before the break. The Argentine God of War also scored his 18th league goal of the season, while continuing to refresh the Serie A personal scoring record held by himself.
In other matches played at the same time, the first-placed Parma were unexpectedly held to a 0-0 draw away from home, and Juventus staged a goal shootout with Lazio at the Stadio Olimpic, and finally the "Silver Fox" Lippi was superior and won all three points from the home of the "Blue Eagles" 4-3.
Fiorentina once again jumped to the top of the table after this round, with Parma and Juventus tied for second place, a narrow one-point gap.
The day after the match against Roma, Groz Jr. called to tell Zhuang Mingge that the profits made in the futures market and the original principal had been remitted to his account.
Originally, Xiao Groz also invited Zhuang Mingge to Rome as a guest on the phone in a rather euphemistic tone, saying that he wanted to "communicate" with him on "some issues", Zhuang Mingge was also quite moved when he heard it at first, after all, Xiao Groz can be regarded as a well-informed beauty in any aspect, and it is not a vase with nothing to show for it. But when Zhuang Mingge saw Karin snuggled up to him, he decided not to take this risk, after all, Karin would be terrible if she turned black......
If you don't die, you won't die, Zhuang Mingge feels that this sentence is still very reasonable.
Then, in the 14th round of Serie A this weekend, Fiorentina continued to sit at home, with two goals from Batistuta and Vieri to give Frieme a 2-1 win over the visiting Foggia; The ** man who drew Parma in the last round to return Fiorentina to the top of the table, this time helped the Purple Lily, they drew 1-1 with Juventus away from home, and the gap between the Bianconeri and the first place widened to 3 points; Parma, on the other hand, quickly adjusted their form, facing the "Giant Killer" Barry team, Parma finally won 2-1 under the leadership of Gianfranco Zola and Brolin.
After the 14th round, Fiorentina remain at the top of the table, followed by Parma with a one-point deficit and the Bianconeri in third.
After this round of the league, Serie A will be suspended and enter a half-month winter break, which is the time for Fiorentina's players to adjust their form and recover from fatigue.
Vieri and Inzaghi did not take advantage of the opportunity to go on holiday and stayed in Fiorentina to work on a targeted intensive training programme with the help of physiotherapists and trainers.
After the winter break, Fiorentina will face three opponents in the first round of the league, including Parma and AC Milan, the results of these two games will prove Fiorentina's current strength, and will also determine whether Fiorentina can successfully win the halfway title.
