PS3: I would like to thank the book friends "Xiao Li Feihua", "fuxiu24", "Tianyuan Hanqi" and "Shura Xu Zhengyang" for their tips.
Inzaghi has scored five goals in his last three appearances, and his scoring efficiency can be described as extremely impressive; Vieri, on the other hand, scored only one goal, but his goal helped Fiorentina beat Inter Milan, a formidable rival, and the gold content was also not low.
The excellent form of these two veterans in February not only helped Fiorentina to win a wave of back-to-back victories despite the main attackers being dumbfounded, and pressed Juventus to second place in the table, but also brought the attention of fans and media back to them!
Although everyone knows that due to age and playing time, Inzaghi and Vieri's current impressive performance will certainly not last long, but this does not prevent them from applauding these veterans - the fact that they can repeatedly achieve results despite their declining form and inconsistent playing time is enough to prove that Vieri and Inzaghi, the two former leading strikers of the Italian national team, are far from being slapped to death on the beach by the back waves!
Therefore, after Fiorentina's 2-1 home defeat to Lazio, the call for Capello to re-recruit Inzaghi and Vieri into the national team and put them in Italy's 23-man squad for the World Cup in Germany can be said to be rising. The fans and media who witnessed the duo's outstanding performances during this period have suggested to Capello that the manager can recruit them back into the national team!
After all, Vieri and Inzaghi have teamed up to bring Italy two European Championships and a World Cup title, and with such a glorious past, every Italian fan who has lived through those glory days can't bear to see them absent from the tournament. What's more, judging from the age of the two, this World Cup is likely to be their last chance to represent Italy in international competitions.
This is like the current Spanish national team, if Xavi and Villa do not voluntarily announce their withdrawal from the national team, then even Bosque will not dare not call them up, because then the saliva of fans and media can drown him......
Although Italy is not so extreme, people are nostalgic. Signature stars like Vieri and Inzaghi, who have ushered in a glorious era for Italy, will naturally get more sympathy points at this time.
For this call of fans and media, Capello naturally will not choose to ignore it. Not to mention the dominance of the Fiorentina family in the national team dressing room, the friendship that Capello built with the two when he was in charge of Fiorentina was enough to make the gold-medal coach have to take the matter seriously.
What's more, compared to Cassano, who is arrogant, Pierrot, who is invisible when he arrives at the tournament, and Tavano and Iaquinta, who cannot take on more responsibilities and can only act as a striker, are extremely experienced in the competition, and now Vieri and Inzaghi, who have shown super substitute value in Florence, make Capello even more excited.
Moreover, the most gratifying thing for Capello is that in the face of such a strong voice, Vieri and Inzaghi did not take the opportunity to rashly express their stance in the media and force themselves to re-recruit them into the national team, but modestly said that it is the freedom of the head coach to draw up the national team list, and they will never have any objections to the final result!
Look, that's what makes a good player! A star like Cassano, who is so self-inflated that if he doesn't put him in the starting list, it's like looking down on him, and he thinks that he is the eldest and his second star, and he will not put him in the World Cup squad if he is killed, that is purely to find guilt for himself! After reading the reporter's interview with Vieri and Inzaghi in the newspaper, Capello's favorability for the two has increased a lot. After all, with two well-managed, obedient and capable players, it is difficult for any manager to resist such a temptation.
Capello, of course, would not have known that the reason why Vieri and Inzaghi did not mention it publicly in front of the media was not because they really respected his choice and freedom, but because they were well aware of Capello's style.
"Coach Capello is a donkey, and the more we force him to make decisions, the more he will screw with us." At a post-training team gathering, Nesta smiled and said to Vieri and Inzaghi, "So, Bobo, Pippo, the best thing we can do now is not to make any statements on this matter, just play the emotional card once in a while, and recall the good experience of working with Capello in Fiorentina, and put pressure through the media...... Rest assured, no matter what the outcome is, as long as you still want to participate in this year's World Cup, then we will definitely be able to find a way to get a place for both of you! ”
When he said this, Nesta was quite confident. After all, the Fiorentina team now has a complete grasp of the Italian dressing room, to the manager
"Thank you so much, Alessandro." Vieri smiled and raised the black tea in his hand to give Nesta a cup. Since the season is now in a critical stage, even if the stomach worm covets the contents of the cup, Vieri will not dare to violate the ban issued by Mourinho at this juncture, "By the way, please also tell the rest of the team about this matter, so as to save Coach Capello any misunderstanding." ”
"No problem, wrap it up on me." Nesta immediately patted his chest and responded to the matter. In Nesta's opinion, not to mention Vieri and Inzaghi are his predecessors in club and national team, and he has taken a lot of care of him in the team back then, just because they are all from Florence, he must help in this. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to mix in Florence in the future.
Why was Casillas, once regarded as the banner of the academy, not treated by Real Madrid fans in the future? Isn't it because he leaked the internal secrets of the Real Madrid dressing room, and sacrificed the interests of Real Madrid in the Spanish national derby in order to maintain the unity of the national team!
Therefore, for the sake of his own position, Nesta must also play a part in this matter, instead of pretending to be selfless and running to Capello to say that someone from other clubs is more suitable for Italy's current tactical play.
In this way, after slashing Lazio, Fiorentina ushered in the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup with Bundesliga powerhouse Werder Bremen amid a discussion about whether Capello should re-recruit Inzaghi and Vieri!
