Time always flies by imperceptibly, and in the blink of an eye, it has entered April 03, and the Fiorentina players who have finished the national team competition have returned to the team to continue the intense preparation work.

Although most of the international players except for a few physical monsters such as Carlos were quite tired due to the national team matches, no one complained about being tired at this time, or simply picked and did not do anything. Because the players know very well that it is now the most critical period of the whole season.

If they can grit their teeth and get through this period and win a few of those crucial games, then by May, the players will be able to see the trophy they have been working for for a season; And if you are relieved at this juncture, then what awaits Florence up and down is probably another ending that is empty.

Moreover, despite Fiorentina's huge points advantage in the league, Juventus and Inter Milan, who are now behind the Purple Lily, still have a theoretical possibility of winning the championship. If Heynckes and his men had not been careful to devote their energies to the Champions Cup too early without locking up the title completely, Bayer Leverkusen last season would have been a lesson for them.

Having said that, for Fiorentina, who already have a fairly clear advantage in the league, it is not a problem to give up a game or two once in a while for the sake of European competition. After all, this is a good way to keep the players in good shape and avoid a situation where they are in a slump or even tired and injured due to two games a week and running around.

So, in order to prepare for the second leg of the Champions Cup with Ajax, in the 27th round of Serie A three days ago, Fiorentina, who rotated most of the main players, was beaten by Lazio away and lost the game cleanly with a score of 0-3.

Despite suffering a defeat in the league, with seven games to go in Serie A and as many as 11 points ahead of second-placed Juventus in the table, a mere defeat will obviously not have much negative impact on Fiorentina's title winning situation. After all, it would be unrealistic for Fiorentina, who have not had a serious injury slew slew, to lose a full eleven points lead in the final seven rounds.

It is for this reason that Lippi seems to have given up on the idea of chasing after Fiorentina and instead focused on the Champions League, intending to seek a breakthrough in the European arena to keep his job.

"It seems that no matter what the outcome, Ajax will become the target of many giants in the inevitable transfer market this summer." Sitting in the VIP box at the Frankie Stadium, Zhuang Mingge, who was waiting for the game to start, pondered, "Being able to reach the quarterfinals in the Champions Cup with a strong crowd is enough to prove the strength of this Ajax team." It would be a strange thing if those team managers didn't make a move this summer. ”

"It's also said that with Ajax's outstanding performance in Europe this season, those top giants will definitely not give up this piece of fat in front of them." Karin nodded approvingly, "The only thing that needs to be guessed now is how long it will take for this Ajax team to be carved up." Will it take a full four years to lose all of its players, as the championship team did in '95, or will it be done in a shorter time? ”

"Really, it's all the Bosman Act. If it weren't for the introduction of this bill, Ajax, which once dominated European football, would not have fallen to the point where it is now. For Ajax's various experiences after the arrival of the Boseman era, Zhuang Mingge is still very sympathetic in his heart. So even though Van Praag has been distancing himself from Fiorentina under various pretexts over the years, he hasn't thought about what to do with the other side: "Now, let's take a good look at the last collective performance of this Ajax team on the European stage." By next season, I don't think many people will stay on this team. ”

"What, Tony, don't you have an idea of these Ajax players?" At this time, Karin asked in a playful tone. has lived with Zhuang Mingge for so many years, and of course she can hear the meaning of the other party's words, "In my opinion, Van der Vaart and the Swedish striker named Ibrahimovic have great potential." If you can bring one of them to Fiorentina, it will definitely play a very positive role in improving the overall quality of the team. ”

'Well, Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic are very talented young players and whichever team gets them, they will be a step up in terms of quality. However, Zhuang Mingge did not express his approval of Karin's proposal, "However, these two are both arrogant masters. I don't think they can accept the rotation or even the substitution position in Fiorentina. A main position or core treatment is what they really want. ”

While Zhuang Mingge and Karin were discussing the issue of Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic, the players from both sides stepped onto the lawn of the Frankie Stadium under the guidance of the referee.

"Tony, look." Looking at the players from both sides who walked out of the tunnel one after another, the sharp-eyed Karin noticed something different, "Van der Vaart doesn't seem to start in this game, but replaces him...... It's the guy who wears the number 37 shirt and is called Sneijder! ”

"What did you say?!" Hearing Karin's words, Zhuang Mingge hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked at the sidelines, "I'll take it, Coman is really bold enough, he dares to put Van der Vaart on the bench on such a critical occasion, and use the younger Sneijder instead!" ”

It was not only the fans of both sides who were watching the game on the sidelines, Zhuang Mingge and others who were surprised by this, but even Heynckes was surprised by Koeman's change. After all, compared to Van der Vaart, who is already famous in Europe, Sneijder, who was born in 84, is obviously more than a step worse than the former in terms of popularity. And in terms of ability, Sneijder, who has just stepped into the professional league, obviously cannot be compared with Van der Vaart, who has more than two years of professional game experience.

Suffice it to say, Koeman's choice of Sneijder in this do-or-die battle rather than continuing with Van der Vaart and Ibrahimoviovic's attacking combination was something that no one expected.

And just like that, under the gaze of people full of surprise and curiosity, the second leg of the match between Fiorentina and Ajax officially began!
