Like Recoba last season, with this hat-trick against Fiorentina and a surprise victory, Mutu also enjoyed an overnight success after this game!

If before this game, the Romanian was only seen as a young striker who was inferior to his former partner Recoba in terms of football talent and potential, but now, after leading Venice to victory over Serie A giants Fiorentina on his own, Mutu has surpassed the likes of Caron and Di Vaio to become the hottest supernova in Italy!

Looking at Fiorentina's side, after the unexpected loss to Venice, Ferrara, who appeared as the starting central defender, was severely criticized, and many experts regarded it as the main culprit of Fiorentina's loss, believing that the former Italian international who suffered a serious leg injury could not recover to his peak form after returning from injury, let alone solve the huge hidden danger of Fiorentina in the back line after Nesta's injury! The main reason why Fiorentina have been able to maintain their winning streak is that they have not encountered too many good strikers: Pierrot, who is strong but in poor form at Juventus, and Kovacevic, who can only be regarded as second-rate, cannot cause problems for them; Although Inter Milan is full of talent, Lippi took the initiative to abolish Roberto Baggio, the ace of the attack, Batistuta has Stam in charge of marking, and the Dutchman's partner in that game is Hyypia, the young Finnish defender makes good use of his physical elements to squeeze the attacking space of Recoba and Ventola, so that they can not spare extra strength to threaten their own goal; Not to mention Barry and Lecce, Ferrara, although not as good as before, is still able to deal with those second-rate goalscorers.

However, this time, when Ferrara faced Mutu, he was already 32 years old and a little helpless against the young Romanian striker, not only was the opponent break through his defense zone three times and twice, but Mutu's three goals were also directly related to Ferrara himself - the first goal Ferrara was not tight and was exploited by Mutu, and the last two goals were caused by Ferrara's accidental foul in the process of defending the Romanian!

Therefore, after the match against Venezia, Ferrara, who had lost the upper hand in direct dialogue with Mutu, finally realized that he is no longer the same person he was two years ago, and although his strength can still barely be regarded as first-class, he can no longer face the top strikers like Vialli or Davo Suker on his own as before. Now he can use his rich defensive experience and skills to fill in the positions of his teammates or deal with those opponents with rough skills, and the work of fighting hard is no longer something he can afford, otherwise, who could become the next Mutu.

As a result, Ferrara, who had a clear understanding of his own strength, took the initiative to talk to head coach Heynckes, expressing his willingness to accept the position of substitute, and assumed the responsibility of helping the team develop new players - before that, although he lost the main position due to injury and Stam's strong rise, Ferrara was still quite unconvinced, thinking that the Dutchman took advantage of his injury to make him a substitute, so he never gave up the idea of regaining the main position. And now, without this knot, Ferrara is completely willing to serve as a substitute for Stam, and at the same time intends to give part of his playing time to Hyypia, so that this junior has more opportunities to grow.

After learning about this, Zhuang Mingge was silent for a long time, and finally just let out a long sigh. As for Ferrara's current level of strength, as a traverser, of course, he knows it all too well - if Ferrara had the level before he broke his leg, Juventus in his previous life would not have missed the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup for five years.

Although Juventus' decline during that period had a lot to do with it, Ferrara's serious injury was indeed a very important factor. Therefore, Zhuang Mingge did not intervene in this, but only let Antonioni show his support for Ferrara to the outside world, and offered the other party a long-term contract, so that the meritorious defender who has contributed to the rise of Fiorentina can stay in the team until retirement.

Therefore, Ferrara's voluntary abdication this time is undoubtedly the most beneficial for Fiorentina now, because in this way, the team has a strong backup central defender, and Hyypia can also get enough playing time to appease the Finns' growing demand for games.

After receiving the contract offered to him by Fiorentina, Ferrara did not make any bargaining moves, and directly signed his name on the five-year contract with an annual salary of 2 million. And this means that, if nothing else, this contract will be the last contract signed by the veteran in his entire career.

Ferrara's announcement of his retirement from the main squad has had a considerable impact on the Fiorentina squad, with the most notable change being that Hyypia has become more active in training. Apparently the Finn is also aware that after Nesta is out injured and Ferrara is out, he is in for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! A great opportunity to become the team's third centre-back in one fell swoop!

Therefore, Hyypia will need to prove his worth with a good on-court performance before Nesta returns. Otherwise, with Fiorentina's financial resources and scouting system, I believe it is easy to get a defender who is not inferior to him.

After staying in Florence for so long, there are some things that Hyypia still knows, after all, the current big-name stars in the team, such as Stam, Carlos, Toldo, and Pirlo, have all been discovered and embarked on the road to stardom, and Hyypia certainly wants to be the next one, rather than giving away this opportunity for nothing.

In this way, when the Serie A league was rekindled a week later, the Fiorentina players, who had been criticized by the outside media for a whole week after the loss to Venice, had a collective explosion in this match with Reggina!

Despite Reggina having the talented Sierra Leonean striker Mohamed Caron (who used to be a substitute striker for Inter Milan), it is clear that they are powerless to resist Fiorentina's attack in the face of the fury of Fiorentina's players.

Vieri and Inzaghi each scored a goal, substitute Ronaldo scored a hat-trick, and Hyypia, who was eager to show his own, also took advantage of a corner kick opportunity in injury time to score with a header, and finally fixed the score at 6-0, Fiorentina won at home!
