One might ask, didn't Parma win the European Cup Winners' Cup last season, and why did the trophy have an impact on it until today?

That's true, but let's not forget that after entering the Boseman era and undergoing the expansion of the Champions Cup, the other two of the three major European cups, the UEFA Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup, have become much less influential. So, even if Parma win the Cup Winners' Cup, it won't have much positive impact on improving their ratings among fans and the media. In this case, a European Cup Winners' Cup win may not be as effective as a Serie A match against Fiorentina.

In this regard, the experiences of the two clubs in the previous life, Porto and Atletico Madrid, are undoubtedly the most convincing. The former is still considered by most fans to be a second-rate team after winning the UEFA Cup in 03, the Portuguese Super League and the Portuguese Cup treble; The latter did not get the recognition of the fans even if he won the League Cup twice in three years, but after reaching a Champions Cup final under the leadership of Simeone, he really became the third pole of La Liga that can compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two Spanish Super League teams.

This shows the huge gap in influence between the Champions Cup and other continental competitions of the same type.

And now, after a head-to-head win over Fiorentina in the league, this Parma youth team can be regarded as being valued and recognized. Although Fiorentina's defeat contains many objective factors, football always depends on the result, and a loss is a loss, and no amount of reasons for Heynckes and the Fiorentina players can change this fact.

What's more, if Parma weren't strong enough on their own, even if Fiorentina let go of water in this game, they wouldn't have been able to get a win over the Purple Lily. So, Parma, as a victor, deserves these praises and attention.

In addition to Adriano, who is the most sought after by various big clubs, players such as Marchioni, De Sanctis, and Kuyt are also favored by many clubs. For example, Mo Lao Fox has set his sights on Kuyt, thinking that this tenacious and spiritual Dutch player is very in line with Juventus's employment standards; After the retirement of Aldair and the departure of Zago, the Red Wolves were left with only Argentine "Rock" Samuel in the central defender position, so Ferrari, who performed well in Parma, naturally attracted Capello's attention.

Although Fiorentina's winning streak at the start of the 03-04 season was unfortunately ended by young Parma on an eight-game winning streak, it does not mean that Heynckes' early season league points strategy will come to an end for the time being.

You know, Fiorentina is currently at the top of Group B with ten points in the group stage of the Champions Cup, Real Sociedad is in second place in the group with a three-point difference, and the third-place Ajax has only four points in the first four rounds, and only one draw and one loss in the two-legged competition with Fiorentina, so even if Fiorentina loses the last two group games, it will not fall to the point of missing the Champions Cup round of 16. After all, according to the relevant rules set by UEFA, when there are teams in the group with a tie in the score, the ranking order of the teams will be based on the results of these teams against each other, rather than the goal difference of each team.

This also means that Fiorentina, who have already locked a place in the round of 16 and do not have much pressure to qualify in the Champions Cup, can still concentrate on attacking the Serie A battlefield during this period and continue to implement the league points grabbing strategy formulated by Heynckes.

Just when the Fiorentina players were training methodically under Heynckes' arrangement and preparing seriously for the next game, another storm was set off in Italy.

It turned out that the Italian Football Federation held a press conference the day after the ninth round of the league, announcing that the first Serie A All-Star Game would be held before the winter break of this season's Serie A!

The announcement of this news immediately attracted the keen attention of countless media and fans. After all, for these people, it's the stars who have made a name for themselves on the football pitch that are the focus of attention. For example, Gyuli and Vincent may be more powerful and effective with Vieri, but fans are clearly more interested in seeing superstars like Nedved and Figo pass the ball to Vieri.

However, fans also know that in the real world, it is extremely difficult for them to achieve this wish. Not to mention the locker room tensions and huge salary pressures that can come with bringing these superstars together in one team, whether those teams are willing to sell their top stars is still a question.

Therefore, when the fans learned that this time they actually had the opportunity to make their usual YY come true, these fans suddenly burst out with unparalleled enthusiasm!

As for the specific election method and operational details, the Italian Football Federation has largely followed the NBA All-Star Game election model, leaving the choice of a total of 22 starters for the two teams to the fans to vote on, and the substitutes are selected by the two head coaches themselves. In this way, it is possible to take care of the emotions of the fans and to the maximum.

Of course, since football and basketball are very different, the Italian Football Federation has also made corresponding adjustments in some details. For example, in order to ensure that there will be no serious imbalance between attack and defense in the starting lineup of the two teams, the Italian Football Federation has given priority to the head coach and game formation of the two teams, and then strictly classified the players according to their positions, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation that the starting players of one team are all composed of attacking players.

For example, if the formation is determined to be 442, then even if the third-ranked player on the striker list gets more votes, he will not get the chance to start; Even if a centre-back has fewer votes than the 10th-best forwards on the list, he can still qualify as an All-Star starter as long as he is in the top two on the list for that position.

Although the English media complained sourly on the sidelines, saying that these election models of the Italian Football Federation were meant to imitate the NBA All-Star Game, all the fans and media concerned about the First League obviously did not care about these insignificant little things that the English said.

In this way, under the pre-planned publicity offensive of the Italian Football Federation, although there are still three full days before the official voting day, the fans can't wait to vote for those famous stars!
