PS1: Saturday's update is sent.,It's a little late.,I hope you don't care too much about the update time.,I promise not to break the update......

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.

After a bloodless two-goal win at home to Sampdoria, Fiorentina's main players were given a week's rest to play their final Serie A game of 2003 on 21 December. Their opponent is Udinese, who are struggling for European qualification.

As a club that relies on reselling players to earn the difference in transfer prices and obtain operating funds from them, Udinese's starting path can be described as a model for all small and medium-sized clubs. But again, it is precisely because of this way of doing business that it is difficult for Udinese to ensure consistent results, and often after a season or two of impressive performances, they will sell their players at a high price in exchange for liquidity that will allow them to continue to develop.

However, Udinese is clearly not in the stage of renewal this season. Under the leadership of head coach Cosmi, the black chickens, with two young players in Pinzi and Di Michele as the core, are currently in eighth place in the standings, just hovering on the edge of the European zone.

Although due to Zhuang Mingge's relationship, Udinese in this life did not get the two generals Di Natale and De Sanctis, but for the black chicken, who is good at discovering talent and cultivating talents, this is obviously not a problem. Under the leadership of Manuel Gerolin, Paulo Marino, Carnevalé and Barbardieu, Udinese has cultivated a number of good seedlings from all over the world and nurtured them through these seasons. Now, Marino and they just have to wait for these players to make a name for themselves as soon as possible, and then they can sit in their offices and count their money.

Therefore, although the current Udinese team is not famous and not strong, it can be regarded as the upper level of Serie A in terms of strength. With Fiorentina's recent form, it will take a lot of effort to win this opponent at home.

As it turned out, the Fiorentina players, who were clearly short of rest against such a difficult opponent, were not very excited during the game, and their fitness and performance deteriorated as time went on and as the game progressed.

After all, even if the main players such as Pirlo, Vieri and Nesta have been given a full week of rest before this, this is obviously only a drop in the bucket for them who have been traveling around the world for the previous month, and the recovery effect is quite limited.

While a week's rest is enough for a professional to bring their fitness back to a high level, the mental exhaustion of back-to-back battles is not so easy to recover. Therefore, in this game, Fiorentina's performance generally showed a trend of opening high and going low.

That's why Fiorentina took the lead just six minutes into the game thanks to Vieri's powerful volley, but were slow to extend that advantage further. Because the players will lose their strength the more they play, and many tactical routines are difficult to display in this situation, Udinese, who was extremely passive at the beginning of the game, was not beaten to death by Fiorentina, but was given enough time to adjust, and in the following time used the physical advantage to launch a ferocious counterattack!

Eventually, when the referee blew the full-time whistle, the score was fixed at 1-1 on the big screen, and Udinese relied on Di Michele to pick up a goal in front of the penalty area and snatch a point from under Fiorentina's nose.

As a result, Fiorentina had to end their last game of 2003 with a draw.

Despite being held to a draw at home by Udinese and failing to get the expected three points, the Fiorentina players did not show much frustration and unwillingness. In other words, after a month-long double game in a week, they simply don't have the spirit and strength to think about these things. All they want now is to get home and get a good night's sleep and relieve their physical and mental fatigue.

After the game, the Fiorentina squad was disbanded on the spot and many of the players returned home as fast as they could, ready to spend a wonderful Christmas holiday with their families or girlfriends. However, not everyone will be able to enjoy such treatment, such as the likes of Vieri and Inzaghi, who will play in the inaugural Serie A All-Star Game.

"Really, I knew it would be like this, so I told the fans not to vote for me." Seeing that Makelle and other teammates were going to enjoy the holiday, while he was still here to prepare for the All-Star Game, Vieri felt a very stomachache, "Originally, I had agreed with Canalis that we would go to Bali for a vacation together this Christmas." It's good now, because of this damn All-Star Game, we're definitely going to have to spend Christmas in Italy. ”

"Haha, Bobo, it's better for you to be calm." As Vieri's best friend, Inzaghi smiled and comforted the other party, "Although you can't go to Bali for Christmas with Kana, it's a good thing to earn a lot of extra money." And, with an All-Star Game MVP as a Christmas present, it should also be a wonderful thing, right? ”

It would be added here that in order to increase the motivation of the players, the Italian Football Federation announced that it will give a corresponding bonus to all players who are selected for the All-Star Game. As for the specific amount of the bonus, it can only be finalized according to the relevant regulations formulated by the Football Association.

For example, if the Italian All-Star team wins the game and he wins the All-Star MVP after the game, he will receive a huge prize of about one million dollars as a starter! Although this is only the theoretical maximum reward, Vieri can still get at least $300,000 even if he loses in the end. Such a huge sum of money is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Vieri.

"Well, Pippo has a point," Vieri said to his friend's opinion, "If I can get the best player in the All-Star Game, then the prize money alone will be enough to cover my vacation expenses." If all goes well, maybe Canalis will be able to agree to my proposal this holiday season! ”

"Ha, haha......" Seeing that Vieri actually had such anticipation under his comfort, Inzaghi had to laugh dryly, and swallowed the second half of the unspoken words back into his stomach, he didn't want to break his friend's confidence at this time.

You know, in this All-Star Game, they also have a retired Robert Baggio on their team......
