After Chen Yu scored a hat-trick, Panathinaikos's fighting spirit was completely crushed, and he was no longer able to organize an effective counterattack in the last few minutes, and could only accept the result of a 0:3 defeat.

When referee Bol blew the whistle for the end of the game, more than 40,000 fans stood up and applauded the Fiorentina players who fought for 90 minutes.

Fiorentina's on-site commentator said excitedly: "Five years later, Fiorentina is back in the Champions League again, they did not disappoint the infatuated supporters and generous investors, in the face of the incoming strong opponents, the Fiorentina fighters defeated the opponent with a 3:0 score, so that their Champions League journey is bright...... We have to thank one person, and that is our new Fiorentina god of war - Chen, who scored all three goals, he almost single-handedly brought Fiorentina into the Champions League, and with the help of one person, he led Fiorentina to shine in the Champions League......"

Fiorentina players and fans did not forget their hero, and their teammates lifted Chen Yu high and threw him into the air, and the fans chanted Chen Yu's name in unison to bow down to this Florentina patron saint.

There are proud and disappointed, Panathinaikos's players left the field quickly after the game, their backs were very lonely, the result was disappointing to them, they did not think about failure, but they did not expect to lose so badly, 0:3 This is a big defeat, but also a complete defeat.

An away defeat to Fiorentina, the weakest side in the group, also means that Panathinaikos' last-16 dream is even more distant, and even the chances of a third-place finish in the UEFA Cup are slim unless they can beat Fiorentina at home.

Of course, the Fiorentina camp that won a big victory is not all proud, such as Bodinov, Montolivo, Gambellini, Pachenza and other players who have good strength, but do not get a minute of play, their mood is also mixed, I don't know whether to be happy or depressed.

No one pays attention to the frustrated, unless he is famous like Ronaldo and Beckham, and the reporters flocked to find Chen Yu, the hero of the game, and interviewed him on the spot.

Chen Yu was in a good mood, he did not refuse, and took the commemorative ball to be interviewed by reporters at the entrance of the mixed channel.

"Congratulations, it was a great performance. You don't get a hat-trick every week, so what does it feel like to score a hat-trick? An Italian reporter preemptively asked.

'It's good and happy, it's not easy to score three goals in the first Champions League game and I should say I'm lucky because today the coach put me behind Toney and Di Natale and I scored three goals. However, the important thing is that we won the game and everyone in the team contributed a lot, because Panathinaikos is a very strong opponent. ”

'It's not your first Champions League game, you scored in qualifying. A German journalist corrected.

Chen Yu smiled rarely, "In my opinion, the group stage is the real Champions League, and the goals in the group stage are the real Champions League goals." ”

After the restructuring of the Champions League, there will be multiple rounds of qualifying before the start of the group stage. Therefore, for the statistics of the scorer list, there are two results, one is only to count the Champions League after the start of the group stage, and the other is to count all Champions League games including the qualifying round.

However, Chen Yu did not take the goal of the qualifying match to heart at all, which made the reporter give Chen Yu a thumbs up for his confidence.

"Panathinaikos is not weaker than Fiorentina, and he still has more experience, did you think it would be so easy to win?" The reporter continued to ask.

Chen Yu said: "Easy? I don't think so, I can't think that the opponent is weak just because I scored three, in fact, the Greek team defended well, but we scored the first goal very quickly and that allowed us to take the initiative

"With such a hearty victory, are you more confident in achieving your Champions League goals?

Chen Yu said: "Our rivals are Panathinaikos and Bremen, such a victory will definitely give us confidence and fighting spirit, but whether we can achieve the goal depends on the next game, if we lose at Panathinaikos' home stadium, the road behind will definitely be more tortuous." ”

"You were in the back of Toney and Di Natale in this game, how do you feel about that position and can you adapt to it?"

Chen Yu said: "I don't think there is a problem, in the past three years, I have played in any position except defender and midfielder. ”

"You must know the results of the other two teams in Group C, what do you think of that game?" The Spanish journalist asked.

"Zhilu said, Barcelona defeated Bremen away: 0, this score is not surprising, Barcelona has this strength, and this result is also very good for us, if Bremen draws Barcelona, it is bad news for us."

"You're going to Spain to play Barcelona in two weeks' time, what are your thoughts on the second group game?"

Chen Yu shook his head and said: "That will be done in two weeks, I haven't thought about it that much, but Barcelona is full of stars, we have to be careful, it is a good result to be able to get a point, after all, our goal is to qualify, not to be the first in the group." ”

"With three goals in one game, can you dream of being the top scorer in the Champions League?"

Chen Yu said very seriously: "That has always been my goal. ”

Ah, the reporters were all stunned, because they thought that Chen Yu was a little too confident.

Chen Yu ended the on-site interview and walked to the locker room, where the fans who had not left the scene were still chanting Chen Yu's name until Chen Yu's figure disappeared into the mixed channel.

Chen Yu returned to the locker room to find that the chairman, de la Valle, and the manager, Lu Casey, had also arrived.

"Chen, you're back"

"Chen, you've done so well."

When the two club members saw Chen Yu come in, one of them grabbed one of Chen Yu's hands.

De La Valle held Chen Yu's right hand and said to everyone with a smile: "In the three games of the Champions League, Chen scored 5 goals, and Chen scored 3 goals in the two rounds of the league. If any of you have Chen's performance, I will also give you this annual salary. ”

Most of the players in the locker room are convinced, but some people smile bitterly, and some people don't think so, although everyone thinks that Chen Yu's strength is indeed worthy of such an annual salary, but De La Valle still makes some people unbearable when he says this.

Chen Yu hurriedly said: "Whether it is a victory or a goal, this is the result of the efforts of the whole team, without the help of my teammates, I can't do anything, well, the annual salary can't be distributed to everyone." ”

Chen Yu's words caused everyone to laugh, and the mustard brought to the players by De La Valle's words just now also disappeared with the laughter.

The chairman and manager had a conversation with the players in the dressing room before leaving, and Prandelli told the players to take a shower and go home to rest and go to the dressing room himself for the post-match press conference.

As the losing side, Panathinaikos' head coach Massarenani came five minutes late, but his mood still did not seem to adjust, today's defeat hit him hard, not only the fans who accompanied the team booed him and the players after the game, but also on the official website of Udinese, the Greek fans also angrily accused Masaleni of using troops absurdly, telling Masaleni to get out of the way immediately, so as not to continue to be embarrassed.

Summing up the game, Massarenani admitted his mistake, saying: "We didn't look at China's Chen, it was our biggest mistake, Chen had been outstanding in Serie A, but he didn't have Champions League experience, we thought he couldn't play as well as Serie A...... We had three absolute players who didn't play and that was the main reason for our defeat, and if Dopoulos was there, Chan probably wouldn't have scored the first goal, and that goal put us on the back foot. I'm disappointed with our strikers, maybe it wouldn't have been the result if they had put a little pressure on Fiorentina, now that the game is over and there's nothing anyone can do to change it, I just hope to get back home and beat Fiorentina so we have a chance to qualify. Bremen lost at home to Barcelona and that result is a good thing for us and Fiorentina, and the next game against Bremen will be very crucial, if we win, there is still something to be done, and if we continue to lose, the round of 16 will not matter us. “

Fiorentina manager Prandelli is naturally proud: "The first four games have given us strength and made us realise that we can compete with all the opponents in the group and in the league. It's like I'm living in a beautiful fairy tale. The dream of the Champions Cup has become a reality today. Few of us have experienced the Champions Cup, many of us are first-timers. But today, we proved to be worthy of such a high level of competition. In the first game we won 3-0 against Fiorentina and against Chen, which was a fantastic start and now I know that we can dream of more...... Undoubtedly, Chan is the hero of this game, in fact he has been the hero of Fiorentina since he came to Fiorentina, he has improved a lot in the last three years, I dare say that he still has no potential to develop and I think his future should be on the podium of the European Ballon d'Or. ”

Fiorentina did not forget to praise Toney, "Toney integrated into the team very quickly, surprisingly fast, he has scored two goals in two league games, although he did not score in this game, but together with Di Natale to contain the opponent's forces, to create opportunities for Chen Yu, in the future, he will definitely score more goals, although he is P years old, I think there is still a lot of room for improvement." “

For the future of the team, Prandelli is full of confidence, "We have won in all competitions, but we have not run in well, we still have a lot of room to rise, this season our goal is to win the league and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, this goal seems a bit ambitious, but a little higher is more conducive to us to develop our potential." It's really just a short-term goal for us, President Della Valle has big ambitions, he wants to turn Fiorentina into a big club like Real Madrid and Manchester United, and I dream of being Fiorentina's Ferguson, which is a bit difficult, but I'm confident because we're on the right path. ”

In his press conference, Prandelli reiterated his and his team's goals, which had been raised by De La Valle before the season but were not taken seriously, but now, in the face of unbeatable results, the whole of Europe has to start listening and heeding their voices.
