Chapter 1237: Busy December (5)
PS1: Starting tomorrow, the Spring Festival visit to relatives and friends will finally come to an end, probably ......
PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.
At the award ceremony that took place after the match, the Fiorentina players happily passed the championship trophy. Although the Toyota Cup, a more commercial and symbolic event is nothing for them, it is a joy to win the championship after all.
Especially in these circumstances, a win and a trophy is an extremely effective shot in the arm for the Fiorentina players, who will be able to bounce back from the exhaustion of a week of double matches and be ready to play the rest of the December.
At this moment, young players such as Franck Ribery and Cristiano Ronaldo are arguably the most excited part of the Fiorentina squad. Unlike those predecessors who won the championship, they have just become professional players and are just a football newcomer, full of desire for glory and championships. So, a Toyota Cup win is enough to make them excited now.
As the eventual winner of this year's Toyota Cup, the award for Best Player naturally belongs to Fiorentina. In the end, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of spectators, the best player was awarded to Andrea Pirlo by the organizers, rather than Inzaghi, who contributed the last-minute goal as many had guessed.
In fact, Pirlo's award was not too unexpected. After all, the midfield maestro was arguably arguably the biggest contributor to Fiorentina's eventual comeback victory. He first instigated a brilliant quick counter-attack from a goal down to help his team equalise; Then, in the final moments of the game, it was another corner assist that gave Inzaghi the winning goal. It can be said that although Pirlo's stats in this game are not impressive, the role played by other Fiorentina players is indeed incomparable.
In this way, Pirlo, who was named the best player of the Toyota Cup, received a special award from the organizers - a new high-end sports car produced by Toyota.
Although in Europe today, Japanese-made cars are still regarded by many people as products that cannot be put on the table, especially those big-name stars with a lot of money will not consider Japanese cars when buying a car, but Pirlo, who is very good at being a person, can not give the other party a face on this occasion, which is naturally a happy ending.
After the Toyota Cup, the Fiorentina team stayed in Japan for another day, attending several business events with the organizers before flying out of Japan and returning to Europe.
"Alas......" Sitting in his exclusive seat, Heynckes looked at the tired players and sighed, thinking in distress, "Is it to temporarily sacrifice the team's achievements to let these young people grow, or to bring in instant combat power during the winter break and loan out some young players who are temporarily useless?" What should I do? ”
Although the players were satisfied with the second half of the game and they eventually won against Boca Juniors, the problems exposed by the young players in the game also made the German coach scratch his head.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that this game still relied on the old players of the team such as Pirlo and Inzaghi to solve the battle in the end is enough to show that these young players have not grown to the point where they can take charge on their own, and can only be used as surprise soldiers or charging fierce generals.
Therefore, improving the combat power of these young players as soon as possible has become another problem that Heynckes needs to worry about.
Generally speaking, there are two ways to solve this problem properly. One is to increase the playing time of these young players in the following games, so that they can gradually accumulate experience in the game, so as to grow step by step; Another way is to loan them out to other teams and develop them into talents.
For this reason, after Heynckes returned to Florence, he specially found Zhuang Mingge and had an in-depth discussion with him, hoping to reach an agreement on this issue. After all, the development of new players will definitely have a certain impact on the team's performance, and it is necessary to communicate with the management before implementation.
Heynckes did not want to see the consequences of his decision provoke resentment at the top and jeopardize his position in Florence.
In the end, after some careful and detailed discussions, Zhuang Mingge decided to let Heynckes adopt the first strategy, that is, to give these young players in the team more opportunities to play, so that they can hone their strength in actual battles, so that Fiorentina can also have more resources to call on when fighting on the third front.
"Joseph (Heynckes), don't worry. I will definitely give you my full support on this issue! Before Heynckes left, Zhuang Mingge said to the head coach in a solemn tone, "Even if the team's results fluctuate during this period, as long as the final results do not fall below the bottom line, your position is secure." ”
Zhuang Mingge also knows that although Florence's strength is still among the top in Europe, it is also necessary to pay attention to the cultivation of reserve talents. Otherwise, the giants who have declined because of the aging of their main players are a model for Fiorentina.
"That, boss. I would like to ask, what is the club's bottom line for the team this season? Heynckes hesitated, deciding that it would be better to ask clearly, so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble.
"Well, my personal bottom line is that the team has to win at least one major trophy this season. For example, the Champions Cup, or the league winner. In response to Heynckes' question, Zhuang Mingge only thought for a while before answering, "After all, Fiorentina is the top club in Europe, and if we are empty-handed at the end of the season, it will be a big blow to the club's prestige." ”
"No problem, boss." Heynckes pondered for a moment and felt that with Fiorentina's current team, it would not be a problem to win the league, so he agreed, "When the season is over, I will definitely bring at least one of the trophies to the team!" ”
So, after receiving reassurance from his boss, Heynckes returned to the office and confidently began to sketch out the future of Florence. Although this will cause the team's results to be unstable or even decline, it is indeed a good thing for Fiorentina's future.
At this time, all Heynckes can do is make a choice and decide which path will get Florence a bear's paw, rather than a fish that is far less valuable than a bear's paw.
