Chapter 1245: Busy December (Thirteen)

PS1: Today's update is sent, I hope you don't care too much about the update time, and I promise that I won't break the update......

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.

In response to Pierrot's question, Capello responded unceremoniously and straightforwardly: If you kid can't mix with the All-Star starter, it means that you can't compare to Vieri and Big Inzaghi in the minds of fans, and this has nothing to do with me; As for the substitutes, even Diego Milito, a striker who has played well this season, has not been selected on the bench, and the wolf king Totti can only be pressed on the bench.

You must know that since the "head-grabbing" incident in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Pierrot's popularity has been declining. In addition, last season Fiorentina staged a drama of the return of the king, defeating Juventus on two fronts of the Champions Cup and Serie A to successfully win the double, and the prestige of Piero, who is the flag of the Bianconeri, plummeted.

After all, compared to last season, Pierrot, who has been playing soy sauce with almost no eye-catching performances, and only has a decent number of goals, is always tireless on the pitch and repeatedly delivers key goals and assists.

It can be said that Pierrot's popularity among fans is no longer as popular as when he first debuted, and he is no longer the "golden boy" who is sought after by all the Italian media. Among Italy's homegrown forwards, even rising stars like Toney and Diego Milito are now statistically on par with him. As a result, Capello chose not to recruit Pierrot, which was not disputed by most fans, except for Juventus supporters, and unanimously praised the gold medal manager's decision.

Yes, you are not as good as Vieri and Inzaghi in terms of popularity, and you can't show that you are a step above Cassano and Tony in terms of ability, so why does Coach Capello have to select you in the All-Star team?

Although Capello's reply seems a little too tough, it has to be said that the other side's rebuttal is indeed justified - yes, there are so many good players in Serie A, why do you Pierrot have to be an All-Star, and no one else can have this opportunity?

Thus, in this extremely unfavorable public opinion environment, Pierrot fell into a strange vicious circle. The more he criticized Capello's choice in front of the media, the more fans believed that Capello had made the right decision, which further irritated Pierrot and made the Bianconeri even more unhappy with Capello...... After a few cycles, no fans were interested in the news that Pierrot had missed the Serie A All-Star Game.

At the same time that Pierrot complained about unfair treatment, Fiorentina also ended the thirteenth round of Serie A. Vieri's goal gave the Purple Lilies a narrow 1-0 win over Siena, who are in the same Tuscany zone as the Stadio Franqui, to continue to lead the table by six points.

By the way, if it weren't for the fact that most of the players needed enough time to recover, Fiorentina would definitely be in for a bloody massacre against this promoted polo team!

The main reason why Fiorentina treats Siena so special is because the club has chosen the wrong boss - Siena, a small club in Tuscany, has chosen to become a satellite club of Juventus!

You must know that Fiorentina is the most prestigious club in Tuscany, and under the hard work of Zhuang Mingge for ten years, Purple Lily has surpassed the top three in the north and become the number one club in Italian football. Therefore, it stands to reason that even if Siena wants to hug the thighs, they should hug Fiorentina's golden thighs, which are obviously thicker than Juventus.

However, the Siena club's hierarchy did not choose to do so. Under the persuasion and temptation of Juventus, they resolutely fell under the pomegranate skirt of the old woman and became a satellite team of the Bianconeri, responsible for receiving some declining veterans from Juventus, and at the same time shouldering the task of developing potential rookies for the Bianconeri.

Although Siena's move allowed them to receive a lot of high-quality resources from Juventus, such as Chiesa, Torricelli and other veterans, as well as potential newcomers such as Zanchi and others, which made them relegated from Serie A, it also made Fiorentina, the boss of Tuscany, very unhappy.

After all, there is such a thick thigh as Fiorentina to hug in close proximity, but Siena has to go to Juventus as a junior brother, which makes Purple Lily's face a little unbearable.

However, due to physical constraints, Fiorentina could only punish Siena in a small way in this game. Of course, if the top management of Siena is not soberly aware of this and continues to rely on Juventus in this game, then Fiorentina will definitely beat up Siena once they see it.

After a win over Siena, Fiorentina face Sampdoria in the first round of the Coppa Italia on 18 December.

In response to the strong demand of many Serie A clubs who have to face a third-tier battle, the Italian Football Federation has adjusted the Coppa Italia schedule again this summer, cutting back the number of matches and changing the format of the knockout stage to a winner-winner, so that those who need to play in European competition can have more time to prepare for more important matches. At the same time, it also gives those small and medium-sized teams more opportunities to upset in the game, allowing them to participate in the Coppa Italia with a more positive attitude.

Thanks to big boss Berezovsky clutching his wallet and using Sampdoria as a money-making tool, the Aquars have returned to mediocrity this season and are currently 11th in the table under Czech coach Zeman, fighting for a European qualification for next season. Therefore, in this case, Sampdoria naturally will not put too much energy into the Coppa Italia, even if the Italian Football Federation changes the format to a single elimination.

You know, compared to the Coppa Italia, which is full of uncertainties, it is obviously more practical for Sampdoria to strive for a good position in the league now. Therefore, in order to ensure that the team is competitive enough in the league, Zeman had to send a large number of substitutes and bench players in this game. And this gave Fiorentina, who played with an all-substitute lineup, a chance to win.

In the end, after 90 minutes of play, Fiorentina at the Stade Frankie relied on the outstanding performance of the extremely young attacking trident of Vucinic, Franck Ribery and Cristiano Ronaldo to beat Sampdoria 2-0 in the first round of the Coppa Italia and qualified for the next round.
