Chapter 143: Winning the Championship in Advance

Chapter 34 of "Jiagen Supplement Jihua".

Thank you for the reward from the talented people of Datang

Fiorentina will face opponents in their next two league games, although they are not top teams, but they do not need to deliberately release water in order to win the championship for Fiorentina, so they still cannot be underestimated.

And these two rounds of league games are still two away games: first against Roma on May 7; A week later, on 14 May, Fiorentina challenged Foggia. Next, the team travels to Paris, France, to face this season's Cup Winners' Cup final opponents - Zaragoza from La Liga at the Parc des Princes in Paris!

If you calculate it this way, Florence is equivalent to a triple! Look at how good the schedule is for Juventus this season, it will always be one home and one away......

Of course, Zhuang Mingge will not complain about the Italian Football Association's cheating schedule, and the ghost knows if these cautious guys will wear small shoes for Fiorentina after knowing that they are publicly dissatisfied with the schedule.

Shijie in sports, there will never be a shortage of controversial penalties......

In the next 30th round of Serie A, facing Roma, who are struggling to compete for a European place, the Fiorentina players were in high spirits after a week's rest, and they were in high spirits and took all three points at the Stadio Olimpico.

Batistuta scored the only goal of the game with a header from a Djokaev corner in the 15th minute. Although both sides had chances to score in the following time, it was a pity that neither side was able to rewrite the score on the field, especially near the end of the game, Giannini's wonderful pass, Balbo's one-handed ball was unbelievably high over the crossbar. In the end, Fiorentina won 1-0 away from home.

Juventus, who lost in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, seemed to have changed their strategy, Lippi sent a starting lineup dominated by benches and young players in this game, and was beaten 3-0 by Lazio at his home stadium without temper, and there was still a nine-point gap between the top of the table with only four games left in the league, and Juventus basically bid farewell to the competition for the league title this season.

"Lippi, this guy really has the courage of a strong man to break his wrist......" Zhuang Mingge didn't expect Lippi to really give up the league so neatly.

"It seems that Coach Lippi is planning to let the main players adjust well and go to the cup game wholeheartedly, after all, Juventus still have a big advantage against Parma." Karin analyzed on the side.

"Well, Karin, you have a point." Zhuang Mingge nodded yes and muttered to himself: Remember this season in history, Juventus seems to have lost to Parma in both finals, right? Could it be that his own appearance made Juventus receive the embarrassing title of "King of Sanya" seven years earlier than Bayer Leverkusen?

After a week's rest, the Fiorentina team flew to the southeastern Italian city of Foggia for the 31st round of Serie A.

Before leaving Fiorentina, Zhuang Mingge informed head coach Claudio Ranieri that the club had been in contact with Paris Saint-Germain and that the team could fly directly to Paris, France after the match against Foggia for next week's Cup Winners' Cup final.

Ranieri has no opinion on his boss's decision, after all, the climate in Paris is still different from that of Fiorentina, and arriving there a few days in advance will allow the players to better adapt to the local weather, and the Parc des Princes is also the home of Paris Saint-Germain, which means that the team may have more time to adapt to the venue for the final.

On May 14, the 31st round of the league match between Fiorentina and Foggia started as scheduled.

After the meritorious coach Zeman switched to the arms of Lazio, Foggia, who had set off a whirlwind in Serie A two years ago, began to sink this season, and they are currently only third from the bottom of Serie A with 30 points, three points away from the bottom four, and six points away from the relegation zone Padua (the relegation rules of Serie A at that time were: Zuihou three teams were directly relegated, and the bottom four participated in the play-offs).

Because this game is about relegation, the morale of the whole Foggia team was quite high from the beginning of the game, while launching a ferocious press on Fiorentina in the midfield, and relying on Russian striker Kolivanov to attack Fiorentina's goal, trying to snatch the vital points for the team from Fiorentina!

However, how could Fiorentina, who are dreaming of winning the Serie A title as soon as possible, be intimidated by a mere Foggia?

Although Ranieri put several key players such as Batistuta, Effenberg and Djokaef on the bench in order to prepare for next week's Cup Winners' Cup final, replacing them with substitutes such as Vieri, Tomasi and Collini, Fiorentina still firmly controlled the game.

In the 38th minute, Vieri used his body to push the opponent's already solid back line out of a trace to get a goal, and he blasted the ball into the opponent's goal with a defender hanging from Fuggia!

With no way out, Foggia launched a fierce counter-attack against Fiorentina in the following period, but in the first fifteen minutes of the second half, another Fiorentina striker, Montella, managed to extend the visitors' lead with a sneak attack, which made Foggia completely abandon the idea of winning.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the Fiorentina players rushed onto the pitch excitedly to celebrate the team's first title of the season and the first league title in 26 years!

After all, even if Juventus win this round as well, with three league games remaining, a nine-point advantage and a head-to-head advantage would be enough to ensure that the team lifts the league trophy at the end of the season!

Now the league is not completely over, the Italian Football Association will naturally not send the championship trophy to Fiorentina, but the joy of the Fiorentina players, but will not be weakened in the slightest, this season's league championship competition, Fiorentina first in the first half and Parma, Juventus staged a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", to the second half of Parma gradually fell behind and then became and Juventus to catch up with each other, and even fell behind for a while, but today, they finally laughed Zuihou!

Now that they have won the Serie A title ahead of schedule, Fiorentina only have one important game left this season! That's the Cup Winners' Cup final next Wednesday in Paris!
