Chapter 1208: Winning Streak at the Opening (3)
PS1: Today's update is sent, I hope you don't care too much about the update time, and I promise that I won't 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.
Although a storm called Fiorentina is gradually taking shape over the Europa League and has a tendency to loom over the whole of Europe, at this time, most of the big clubs are at most lamenting that Fiorentina is in such a state that it is really early, and they do not actually have too much fear of Fiorentina. You must know that in European football, a giant club of Fiorentina's level has to play at least fifty or sixty games in a season, so in comparison, Fiorentina's six consecutive wins at this time seem a little insignificant in the eyes of these people.
As the saying goes, it's the winner who has the last laugh, and you Fiorentina are so desperate to win at the beginning of the season, aren't you afraid of the lack of follow-up when the season enters the sprint stage?
As a top manager with a wealth of coaching experience, Heynckes can be said to have a clear understanding of the mentality of these clubs at this time, and naturally has a way to deal with it. For example, resolutely abide by the opinions of sports medicine experts in the physiotherapy center, strictly monitor the physical indicators and health status of the players, and reduce the possibility of players being suspended due to injury; There is also the use of a rotation strategy to ensure that the fitness and condition of the players are not affected by the intensive schedule.
And the crazy rush for points at the beginning of the season was a strategy set by Heynckes after careful consideration. In the eyes of the German coach, although Fiorentina's bench depth is the highest in Europe, and the overall strength is also the top in Europe, the purple lily still needs to face the situation of third-line battles this season, and even needs to go to distant Japan to participate in the Toyota Cup in December, which is bound to adversely affect the team's combat effectiveness and the stability of the results.
Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity that the players are physically fit enough and in a relatively stable state at the beginning of the season, let the team grab points and establish enough leads during this time, and when the game begins to be intensive, they can use the points accumulated in the league in the early stage to concentrate on the Champions League and use the rotation lineup to deal with the league battlefield.
Of course, whether Heynckes's strategy can be implemented smoothly depends on whether God or his old man will give him face - if Fiorentina encounters a wide range of injuries or accidents during the season, then Heynckes may have to change his battle plan.
A week later, the fourth round of Serie A. Fiorentina's second home game of the season was cheered on by 30,000 Purple Lily fans at the Stade Frankie and Lecce in a sparkling match. Lecce's Uruguayan striker, Javier Chevanton, was in excellent form in this game, and against the central defensive line of Gambellini and Stam, the Uruguayan international relied on his excellent technique and free-kick footwork to help the visitors equalise twice when they were behind!
Had it not been for substitute Andrea Pirlo who took advantage of a direct free-kick from outside the box to break the Lecce goal in stoppage time, Fiorentina would have had a depressed handshake with the opposition in their fourth league game of the season.
By the way, the reason why only more than 30,000 fans came to watch this game was not because Fiorentina had raised the ticket price sharply and people couldn't afford it, nor because Fiorentina fans were tired of coming to the scene to cheer for the team, but because at this time, the stadium expansion plan formulated by Zhuang Mingge in June this year had begun to enter the official construction stage!
According to the construction plan developed by Jacques Herzog (the well-known Allianz Arena in Munich and the National Stadium of China, also known as the Bird's Nest), the expansion of the Frankie Arena required the closure of the four stands of the Frankie Arena on a rotational basis over a period of one year, and then the expansion of the closed stands one by one. As a result, it is only natural that the attendance at Frankie Stadium, which has spectators on three sides of the stands, has dropped significantly from last season.
Although the expansion of the Stade Frankie has taken a toll on the club's ticket sales and associated commercial income for the season, the loss was well worth the price from Fiorentina throughout the city. Because they all know that when the expansion of the Frankie Stadium is completed, and the commercial facilities and related investment projects in the surrounding area of the stadium are also completed, Fiorentina's financial income will definitely increase significantly!
And, more importantly, a business district centred on the Stadio Franchi, and moreover, it is an extremely beneficial thing for Fiorentina to establish its own brand. Therefore, in the eyes of Zhuang Mingge and others, these losses are completely acceptable. Even if there is a loss or deficit for a while, with Fiorentina's current family background and Zhuang Mingge's strong financial resources, it will not have any impact on the operation of the club.
The narrow home win over Lecce was a great wake-up call for the Fiorentina squad to see what was going on for them because of their winning streak in the early part of the season, and realised that if they don't take every game seriously, even a weak-looking opponent like Lecce can give Fiorentina a drink.
There is no weak team in Serie A, and the Lecce team has made some complacent Fiorentina players, especially De Rossi and Ribery, who have not seen much of the world, realize this in a real sense.
So, in the second round of the Champions League group stage three days later, the Fiorentina players sitting at the Frankie Stadium went all out to defeat the Dynamo Kiev from afar, and got the eighth victory since the start of the season!
Portuguese teenager Cristiano Ronaldo became famous in this game, in the 81st minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo, who came on as a substitute for only five minutes, received Pirlo's pass from the right side of the midfield and suddenly started, dribbling the ball through the defense of four Dynamo Kiev players in a row and rushing into the penalty area, and then used a pendulum swing that all Fiorentina fans are very familiar to beautifully shake the opposing goalkeeper and then pushed the ball into the empty goal, completing an extremely wonderful long-distance run!
There are five people in a row, a long-distance run of 40 meters, a pendulum pass, and the surname is still Ronaldo...... These factors are superimposed, and the 18-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo finally attracted people's attention with this goal, taking off the hat of a potential rising star who has been wearing his head for many years, and becoming one of the hottest fried chickens in European football along with Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic and others!
