In the Tuscany derby with four Serie A teams, Empoli and Fiorentina have the closest relationship, and now Empoli's main midfielder Gao Fei is the best friend of Florence's core Chen Yu, the leading scorer Regano was once a hero of Florence, and Di Natale, one of Florence's main scorers, is Empoli's promotion hero, and both teams are also anti-Holy League camps, it can be said that the two teams are inextricably linked.

But no matter how good the relationship between the two clubs is, both in one region, it is still a competitive relationship, and the derby is a game for both sides that must go all out.

If two weeks ago, there was no suspense in the match between Fiorentina and Empoli, the second to play the fifteenth-place relegation team, Fiorentina has been unbeaten so far, and Empoli has not won a single record in the last six rounds of l, draws and 5 losses, but after Chen Yu and other five main players were banned and injured, Empoli's opportunity came.

After the loss of five main players, from the perspective of strength, Fiorentina is still much stronger Empoli, but the gap between the two sides is not as big as before, and now Florence's morale is not high, and the dependence on Chen Yu has not disappeared, Empoli has to fight hard for relegation, which is almost the most critical factor for the derby.

Before the game, Empoli coach Soma felt the danger of being sacked, and two days ago Empoli president Corsi said in the media: "We don't think Soma should leave. At this juncture, instead of a new coach, we need a psychologist to clear the minds of players from the fears and anxieties that make them wonder what they should do on the pitch. ”

Although Corsi said that Soma should not leave, but since he has begun to consider whether the manager will leave, if he continues to lose, the club will definitely use the most usual way to solve the crisis encountered by the team in the league, that is, to change the coach.

What's more, the media has been hyping Piacenza coach Carney who is idle at home for a while now, although Corsi has been refuting rumors, but Soma as long as he is not stupid knows that these news will never be groundless, and the club's refutation of rumors can only show that Corsi has not given up on himself, or has not negotiated good terms with Carney. By all indications, Corsi was running out of time for him.

The day before the race, Soma made a declaration to challenge Fiorentina, "...... This is our best chance to beat Fiorentina, if we don't take this opportunity, maybe we won't have a chance to beat Fiorentina for a long time, although now we don't have a good result, but if the league ends now, we will be relegated, and relegation is our goal this season, but the league is not over yet, we are in danger now, we have to take every opportunity to win, if we can beat Fiorentina who have not tasted defeat so far, it will be a great encouragement to us. The opponent is still strong, but I am confident that you will be able to overcome the difficulties and accomplish this almost impossible task......"

At the time when Soma was beating Empoli's players and fans, Chen Yu had just arrived at Empoli.

Now Chen Yu is still in the ban period, and he has no chance to participate in the league, so he came to Empoli in advance to play with Gao Fei.

Empoli is only thirty kilometers away from Florence, and Chen Yu drove directly over.

Gao Fei had just finished training, and when he saw Chen Yu coming, he was taken aback, and hurriedly walked over, and said with a hippie smile: "Why didn't you come here without saying hello, did you want to peek at our training." “

Chen Yu leaned on the car door and scolded with a smile: "I still need me to peep at your relegation team, I am here to play the war today." “

"The next battle book? It's clearly a provocation, it looks like the lesson the Football Association has taught you a lesson丨 is not enough, in my opinion, you should be banned for life. Goofy laughed.

Chen Yu said: "If you come to be the president of the Italian Football Association, Serie A will become the Chinese Super League in less than three years."

Gao Fei smiled: "I'm afraid that if you become the chairman, you can only become the middle class." “

Chen Yu said: "Don't fart, when will you go back, I've been here for so long, won't I skip a meal?" “

Gao Fei said: "I'm not as stingy as you, I can still invite you for a meal, wait a minute, I'll call Jia Ya and ask her to come over." “

Chen Yu said: "What? It's still a family feast. “

Gao Fei said: "Family fart, she's busier than me." “

Gao Fei called Jia Ya, who was interviewing, and said that Chen Yu had come to Empoli and asked her to come back early in the evening and have a meal together.

Jia Ya was very happy and told Gao Fei that she would come back soon, and asked Gao Fei to arrange a place to eat first, and she would give Chen Yu an interview by the way.

Gao Fei changed his clothes and went to the place where he rented a house with Chen Yu, which was a two-story building with a garden, Yu Jing was beautiful and spacious, and the rent was only two thousand euros, which could be said to be very cost-effective.

Chen Yu looked at the house and said, "Actually, you should buy it." ”

Gao Fei glared at Chen Yu, "Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, it costs five or six hundred thousand euros, you lend me money."

Chen Yu stretched out his hands, "You didn't borrow it from me." ”

Gao Fei said: "I borrowed it now, and I don't pay it back." “

Chen Yu said: "No problem, just write my name on the real estate certificate." “

Gao Fei snorted, "Write your name, then I might as well buy it myself." “

Chen Yu said: "Shameless, you borrowed money from me to buy a house even though you have money." “

Gao Fei said: "I didn't borrow money from you to buy a house, you wanted to lend it to me, I didn't plan to live in Italy at all, and I don't know when I will play football." “

Chen Yu frowned slightly, "Soma is going to get out of class?" ”

Gao Fei said: "It's hard to say, if the situation continues to win, he may be out of class in less than three rounds, I heard that if Soma is out of class, former Piacenza coach Carney will take over, once a son of heaven and a courtier, if Soma really gets out of class, Rigano and I dare not say that we can keep the position of the main force." ”

Chen Yu said: "This is indeed a problem, each coach has his own employment standards and preferences, and the comprehensive strength of the two of you is not superior, after changing coaches, everything may really have to be reshuffled, you need to plan well." ”

Gao Fei said excitedly: "What are you going to do, I still have a two-year contract with Empoli, and if I really can't play the main team, I will change teams and play for another two years, if I can't do it, I will go to the second division team to eat, and if I can't, I will go back to play in the Chinese Super League." ”

Chen Yu said: "How old are you, don't be so unproductive, being able to play in Serie A for a season shows that you have this strength, if you can't go to the Eredivisie Portuguese Super League, make a lot of money, and go back to the Chinese Super League." ”

Gao Fei said: "You think I want to go back, that's not the last way." ”

Chen Yu said: "Optimistically, maybe you win us in this game, so Soma doesn't have to get out of class, and you can stay here in peace." ”

Gao Fei said: "Then unless you release the water, it is still a big loss." ”

The two drank wine and chatted about what had happened recently, and before they knew it, it was getting dark.

Gao Fei said: "Let's go, let's eat." A Chinese restaurant with authentic cuisine. ”

Chen Yu said: "Don't wait for Jia Ya, it is estimated that she should come back." ”

Before Gao Fei could answer, Jia Ya walked in from the outside in a hurry, "Chen Yu, I finally caught you, you have to give me an interview this time." ”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "The king of Hades is not bad for hungry ghosts, you can't let me eat first." ”

Gao Fei said: "Jaya, why are you here so late, we are almost too hungry." ”

Jaya said: "I've gone to Rome, and I've just come back, okay, let's eat first, and then we'll talk about work later." ”

Chen Yu said: "It's rest time now, don't talk about work at any time, you two hurry up and invite me to dinner, otherwise I will go home immediately." ”

Jia Ya said: "Eat and eat, you can still be hungry." Let's go, go to Laoshantung. ”

Gao Fei said: "Look, Chen Yu, this is called the same as what heroes see, and I am talking about this place." ”

"I'm driving, you guys drinking."

Jia Ya now has the demeanor of a strong woman, she is resolute, and after changing her clothes, she dragged the two out of the house.

Because there is still a game tomorrow for Gao Fei, the two just had a few drinks and went back early, and at Gao Fei's house, Jia Ya gave Chen Yu an exclusive interview, and then they rested.

Empoli and Fiorentina were the first Serie A derby between the two teams since 1999, and although Fiorentina's popular Chen Yu was absent and the Chinese media's long-awaited Chinese derby could not be realized, there were still more than 70 Fiorentina cheering on the road. With a capacity of 19,847 spectators, the Stadio Castellani is no weaker for Fiorentina than it is at the Stadio Franci.

Although Empoli shouted the slogan before the game to break Fiorentina's unbeaten golden body, they were very cautious in the actual game, even at their home stadium, they also lined up a dense defensive formation, with crazy pressing and simple and direct counterattacks to compete with Fiorentina.

Without the organization of Fiore and Montolivo, and without Chen Yu's breakthrough, Fiorentina relied more on long passes and cross-passes from the wing to create chances.

In this game, Fiorentina used the young Pacini to partner with Tony and Di Natale, obviously Tony does not trust Pacini enough, and the cooperation between the two is not tacit enough.

In the 17th minute of the game, Ma Qiao entered the penalty area, Di Natale attracted the defender, Maggio sent the ball to the feet of Toney, and Toni turned and shot. Fiorentina played a combination and the team also exchanged the first shot from inside the woodwork.

In the first minute, Pancaro's tactical corner kick was passed directly to Toney's feet, and Toney's first shot was unsuccessful.

In the 30th minute, Toni broke the ball from Platali's feet and burst into the penalty area, and without waiting for his teammates to follow up, Toni just volleyed, and the great attacking opportunity was wasted.

A minute later, Toney broke through from the right again, this time without even an angle, but Toney still opted to shoot, only to be blocked by Bertie.

Seeing Tony so active, so eager to score, Gao Fei also took special "care" of him, in the 35th minute, Gao Fei put Tony down from behind, Tony lay on the ground and held the tibia of his left leg in pain, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Fiorentina fans at the scene, but because of the punishment of the last game with Juventus, the Fiorentina fans did not dare to make too presumptuous moves.

Under Goofy's leadership, Empoli's defence became more and more solid, with Fiorentina having 70 per cent possession, but never being able to break down Empoli's goal.

It wasn't until the 70th minute that Fiorentina's combination was exchanged for a goal: Goofy defended Tony close to the penalty line, Toni passed the ball to Di Natale, Di Natale then gave it to Tony, Toni hit the post, Bonetto wanted to clear, but kicked the ball to the feet of Pazzini, who luckily shot into the empty net.

However, Empoli could not accept defeat and immediately counter-attacked after conceding the goal, and it took only three minutes for Empoli to score the equaliser in a scuffle in front of goal by the hitherally unknown Rigano.

Fiorentina then launched a fierce attack, but because Toney was too impatient, repeatedly missed opportunities, Di Natale was also in poor form, and in the end they were unable to break Empoli's goal again when they had an absolute advantage, and could only accept the result of being drawn by the opponent away.

Chen Yu, who could not compete, was interviewed by reporters in the stands, Chen Yu said that he felt very painful not being able to fight the tower with his teammates, and he hoped that he could lift the ban as soon as possible to help the team play well in the following games, and Chen Yu was very happy with the performance of his two friends, and he hoped that the next time he was in Florence, he would be able to compete with his friends Gao Fei and Ricano.

In an interview, Toni complained about the luck of his opponents, "We created a lot of chances in the game, but we didn't take them. I wasn't lucky, and Empoli had one shot in today's game and it went in. No way, we hope to return to victory on Wednesday. ”

Although Fiorentina were held to a draw by Empoli, Juventus were also in poor form after the ban, drawing away from Lazio, and Fiorentina were lucky to remain in the lead.

It's just that Milan performed well in this round, defeating their opponents by 4 goals each, narrowing the gap with Fiorentina to 7 points and 9 points, and narrowing the gap with Juventus to U points and 8 points, and there is hope of winning the championship again.

Throughout the game, Fiorentina had a l'on-foot shot on goal and Empoli only had five, but the efficiency was the same. Fiorentina coach Prandelli was unhappy: "We didn't take advantage of the Juventus draw and were chased by Inter and Milan by two points. Empoli scored on the only shot and we played with our own characteristics, possession and pace. Tony? He's really not in great form at the moment, but he doesn't have to worry because he's still useful to his team-mates, like Pazzini's goal. Chen Yu? Talking about Chan now is disrespectful to the lads on the field. But there is no doubt that everyone is missing him, and now we are actively appealing and hoping for a good outcome. ”

Without Chen Yu, facing the weak team Fiorentina with one win and one draw, but it is very difficult to win and it is difficult to score, which makes Fiorentina still miss Chen Yu up and down, but now Chen Yu will be banned for three games, before the winter break they only have this one against Palermo, for Fiorentina, the top priority is to win Palermo and retain the title of winter champion.
