PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

Fiorentina have won the trophy six times in just eight years since their first trophy in 1995-96, an efficiency that would send fear to any club in European football. After all, even the Real Madrid side led by Stefano in the fifties and sixties of the last century won their sixth Champions League title in their sixth season after completing five consecutive Champions League titles, and Fiorentina took years shorter than the La Liga giants, how can this not lead to a deep sense of powerlessness in admiration?

I have to say that in today's increasingly fierce competition and the gap in strength between teams of the same level is getting smaller and smaller, it is really rare for Fiorentina to achieve this kind of record that can compete with football in ancient times.

To get back to the point, when Andrea Pirlo broke through Frei's 10-finger mark with a stunning spoon penalty, referee Merck immediately blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the entire Old Trafford stadium turned into a sea of joy for Fiorentina fans at the same time!

And at the ensuing award ceremony, when UEFA President Beckenbauer handed the trophy to Nesta, who wore the Fiorentina captain's armband, and the latter lifted the trophy high in front of tens of thousands of fans, the atmosphere in the stadium reached its climax!

Although the English media sourly said in the news report the next day that this Champions League final was the most dreary final in history, a serious regression in football tactics, this did not affect the fans' perception of Fiorentina and Serie A - in any case, most fans will unconsciously find a platform to compare themselves with each other when judging whether a team or a country's league is strong, and symbolize the highest level of European clubs. At the same time, the Champions Cup, which gathers some of the best teams in European football today, is obviously the best platform for comparison.

If Serie A's tactical thinking is conservative and backward, then what is the Premier League and "advanced" leagues such as La Liga, which even teams from such a league cannot beat? This is the first thought that comes to the mind of the vast majority of fans when they see the comments in the English media. Therefore, except for the arrogant British media, who insist that English football is the number one in the world, not many people jump out at this time to discuss the rights and wrongs of Italian football, but unanimously praise Juventus and Fiorentina, the two teams that participated in the final, as well as Italian football. Because they know in their hearts that at this time, to belittle the Italian football that defeated them is to belittle themselves in disguise, and it is better to be generous, publicly praise the strength of the opponent, and make their defeat understandable.

As a result, with the exception of the still-dead British media, most media outlets have been quite positive about Fiorentina and Italian football. And the emergence of this situation has allowed Fiorentina, whose influence in the fan base has declined due to the empty four last season, to win back a lot of prestige, defeat Real Madrid, which has become famous for relying on superstar policies, and become the most powerful club in the hearts of fans around the world again!

By the way, on the way back to Italy from England, Heynckes, who was obsessed with Vieri's joke in the penalty shootout, found an excuse to deduct Vieri's prize money for this game, and announced that he would use this part of the prize money to take the players to Monaco, which is known as the "European gambling city", to make the latter complain.

Although his expression was very resentful, which made Pirlo and others who were playing soy sauce on the side very happy, but in fact, Vieri was just pretending. Vieri knows very well that Nesta's missed penalty is inseparable from him, if it weren't for the fact that Carlos and Pirlo, who were in charge of the penalty later, are both mentally strong guys, maybe Fiorentina will have to explain to Juventus this time.

If Fiorentina did get Juventus to complete the comeback after Nesta missed a penalty, Vieri felt that he would be the target of the fans' fire. Therefore, of course, Vieri will not have any objection to Heynckes's punishment, but has generously stated that if everyone wants to go to Monaco in the summer to have fun, he is willing to contribute another amount of activity funds.

For Vieri's extremely good performance, the whole Fiorentina team is naturally extremely satisfied. Since then, it has become an unwritten practice within the Fiorentina team: at the end of the season, the whole team will use their prize money for a group trip before heading out for a hard-earned holiday around the world.

Neither head coach Heynckes nor the Fiorentina management stopped this. Because such activities can bring the players closer together, strengthen the cohesion of the team, and make the atmosphere in the dressing room more harmonious. Therefore, they will not destroy this kind of good deed with multiple birds with one stone.

After returning to Italy, the Fiorentina players and coaching staff who successfully returned from the Champions Cup were personally greeted by Italian Prime Minister Prodi at Galileo International Airport in Pisa (Note: In this life, under the guidance of Zhuang Mingge, the ruling coalition led by Prodi has always firmly suppressed the center-right alliance led by Berlusconi, so he will naturally treat Florence controlled by Zhuang Mingge differently). In the days that followed, he participated in various celebrations hosted by the Italian government and the city of Florence, which was very beautiful in front of people.

Of course, the Florence Club's championship celebrations and parades of floats in the city of Florence will not be discounted by these official events. Meticulously planned and packaged by Kenyon and his team, this celebration in Florence is not mentioned here.

Although the 2002-03 season has come to an end with the Champions League final for the players, now is the time for Fiorentina's management to really start working hard!

"Tell me, what are we going to discuss at this meeting?" Zhuang Mingge, who was in a good mood because Fiorentina won the league and the Champions Cup double, after entering the conference room and seeing the three general managers and head coach Heynckes who were already seated, he jokingly asked, "Could it be that Alessandro (Nesta) has not yet completed their contract renewal, and they need to come forward with my big boss to coordinate and solve it?" ”
