Chapter Twenty-Six: First in the League
The Empoli gave up on the game, but Fiorentina didn't want to let them go so easily, and the new season has just begun, and even if they have the ultimate nuclear weapon in their hands, they need to polish their old guns.
In the 35th minute of the game, Fiorentina scored again, this time it was Mutu who scored, or Modric launched an attack and passed to Digan at the front of the Empoli penalty area, after Digan received the ball, he leaned on Empoli's defender and pushed the ball to the right, and the follow-up Mutu made a beautiful shot, and the football passed the fingertips of the Empoli goalkeeper and fell into the net safely.
Fiorentina extended their lead to four goals just before half-time, when Degan's shot was tipped over the crossbar by Empoli's goalkeeper and Fiorentina were awarded a corner, Degan drove the ball to the back post and Kompany headed home.
With a four-goal lead in the first half, Fiorentina played more easily in the second half, with Prandelli also making frequent moves, with Mikel Arteta and Hamsik replacing Luka Modric and Montolivo.
The Spaniard made his first appearance for Fiorentina, and after three minutes he gave an assist, his long pass from the side, accurately found Digan in the penalty area, when Degan received the ball, there was no Empoli defender around, such a big gift, Degan did not laugh at the reason, a push shot, through Empoli's goal, completed the first hat trick of the new season.
The South Stand then displayed the third banner they had prepared: Thank you, Degan! 128!
Prandelli then replaced Mutu with Cavinaghi and continued to strengthen the attack, and Degan's position also shifted to the left wing, and Cavinaghi scored with his first touch of the ball after coming on, and he received a cross from the left and headed home.
6:0!
The Fiorentina fans in the Flaki stands were hoarse at this moment, but they still couldn't stop their enthusiasm to cheer for the team.
In the cheers of the fans, the Fiorentina players also became more and more courageous, and substitute Slovak teenager Hamsik scored Fiorentina's seventh goal of the game before the end, and after receiving a pass from Digan, he used his feet to shake off two Empoli defenders and hit the goal.
The referee stopped the game immediately after Hamsik's goal, without giving a minute of stoppage time, and the Empoli players had no objections, hoping to get out of the Fraji prison as soon as possible.
The moment the referee's whistle blew, they left the stadium and even forgot to finish the game zuihou a program one by one to shake hands between the two sides!
When Schodati left the game, his eyes seemed to be frozen, he knew that he had become the Daxiao dialect of the whole of Italy, and vowed to seek revenge on Deegan before the game, but now?
Throughout the game, Deegan scored three goals and provided two assists, becoming the biggest star on the field, but what about himself? One shot, and it was outrageous.
Empoli's head coach Curtini on the sidelines looked at Prandelli who was walking towards him, and his heart was also mixed, he was also the head coach, and the gap between the fates of the two people would be so big, look at the cards in Prandelli's hand, and then look at his own.
Alas~~~~~~~~
Holding hands with Prandelli, Curtini sighed from the bottom of his heart.
“7:0! Fiorentina's first game of the new season was a massacre of Empoli at the Fraki Stadium, Digan's form was already hot, Empoli's defense could not stop his ferocious firepower at all, and it had fallen apart in the first half, congratulations to Fiorentina, they achieved a perfect victory. ”
At the post-match press conference, Coutini's face was full of frustration, he knew that his position was about to be shaken in just one game, and even though he did a lot for this team last season, it could not offset the shame of this slaughter.
'I'm sorry it's not what I wanted to go through, I think it will take me and my players a long time to forget everything that happened tonight, but it's hard, I'm disappointed with the way the players played, they didn't choose to fight, they chose to give up after they found out they couldn't shake Fiorentina's advantage, it's not what a man should be, all I can say is that everything changed after Digan scored the first goal and I want to congratulate my opponents, they deserved this big win.'
Prandelli took the praise from Cultini in full: "I'm delighted with the lads, they proved that Fiorentina are serious contenders for the league title this season, it was a wonderful night for all Fiorentina fans, it was simply amazing, Rhodes! He's the best player I've ever seen, he's capable of surpassing all legends, 127 goals! I would say that this is definitely not his limit, in fact, he can do so much more and do better! ”
Meanwhile, Deegan was also interviewed by reporters at the door of the dressing room and there is no doubt that he was once again the protagonist of the game, with three goals and two assists, and he was the brightest star of the day.
'I'm feeling great now, I know I've scored three goals, but what's even more pleasing to me is that we're improving every day as a whole and you can see that we handled every aspect of the game today, everyone on the pitch gave everything for the team to win, and that's what I care about the most!'
"Piola! No! It's too early to say what he's saying, there are a lot of people ahead of me, they're all great goalscorers, what I'm going to do now is to help the team continue to win, score more goals and try to catch up, my goal? As I said before, I don't like to share honours with anyone, and if I really had to set a goal for all the goalscorers in the history of Serie A, I hope I will be the one who stands at the top! ”
The reporters listened to it, and they didn't know what it was like, Piola was the greatest goalscorer in Italian history, but when it came to Digan's mouth, it seemed that there was nothing to fear.
Standing at the top!?
274 goals!
That's a result that many good goalscorers look up to, but for Degan, anything is possible, and how many goals this madman can score is perhaps known only to his own feet.
After this match, all ten matches of the first round of the 2007/2008 Serie A season were also concluded, and people were surprised to find that Juventus, who had just been sitting at the top of the league for a day, were ousted and Fiorentina managed to take the position.
1st in the league!
Although it was only the first game, the Fiorentina fans were still cheering, and it was the first time they stood at the top of the league table since Fiorentina were ordered to be relegated.
Last season's record was impressive, but they didn't stand a chance of finishing first in the league because of the penalty points, and this season they finally did it.
"First in the league? I can understand the mood of the fans, but to be honest, I really don't think there's anything to be proud of, it's only the first round of the league, we still have 37 games to play, the league is still very long, we still have a lot of challenges to face, we should focus now and play every game in the next game! ”
The reporters listened to Digan talk eloquently, and they all froze, is this still the crazy Brazilian ghost animal?
When did he actually learn to be humble?
But Degan's next words made the reporters understand that Deegan is still the same Degan, and his arrogance has not diminished at all.
"We are not afraid of any challenge from any opponent, it has been proven that we are the best team in Serie A, just look at today's scoreline, the seventh place in Serie A last season was not our opponent at all, we will always win and know that we will lift the league trophy!"
Depend on!
There are really no capable people in Italy!
The reporters were annoyed, what is the difference between Degan saying this and the Declaration of Conquest, you are a Brazilian Belgian brute who looks down on people so much.
The reporters were annoyed, and the competitors of the league championship also said: We can't stand it!
"Just one game doesn't say anything, he's happy too soon! This will not do Fiorentina any good, except that it will allow more teams to give it their all against Fiorentina. "Ancelotti looks like he is worried about the country and the people, and he is actually hating Florence.
It is conceivable that if all the other 19 teams in Serie A are facing Fiorentina and do their best, Fiorentina's journey to the championship will be very difficult.
Ibrahimovic, who has been silent for a long time, can't stand Digan's arrogance, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and Italian football already has his megalomaniac, so naturally there is no need for another madman of Degan's type.
"He said he wasn't afraid of any challenge, good, then we'll ~~~~~~~~" Ibrahimovic hurriedly stopped, obviously sounding the experience of naked running in the summer, if he competed again, he still didn't want to, and quickly changed the topic, "Inter Milan is the strongest team, our goal this season is to complete the triple championship, we don't have any enemies, because there is no team worthy of Inter Milan's opponent, Fiorentina, so what is a small country team, wait until the end of the league, You will find that they have been left far behind by us. ”
Ibrahimovic said proudly, but inadvertently, the hatred of Diganla towards Fiorentina was refocused on Inter Milan.
Mancini was also furious, and then announced a gag order to the Swedes, and until his mind matured, the big man had better obediently shut his foul mouth.
