"Ladies and gentlemen, now we are watching the 34th round of the 2001-2002 Serie A season, against Fiorentina and Vicenza......" The commentator's voice came from the TV set continuously, "As of now, Fiorentina is at the top of the league table with 19 wins, 12 draws and 3 losses, with 69 points, while Juventus and Roma are in third and fourth places in the standings with a narrow disadvantage of one and two points respectively...... Therefore, it can be said that the result of the matchup between Fiorentina and Vicenza will determine the final winner of this season's Serie A. ”

"Tony, Fiorentina's performance this season is a bit terrible." Karin walked out of the bedroom, she had just put the child to sleep, she heard the commentator's comment, said, "In the battle for the league title, they are entangled with Roma and Inter Milan until the final round, after all, there are too many teams in China that have the strength to disrupt the situation in the past two years, and even Fiorentina cannot easily settle all opponents with superior strength as before." However, it is a bit difficult to say that Leeds United eliminated us in the Champions League, and if it were not for the first leg away game, Heynckes took the wrong attack strategy and suffered a defeat, the team still has a good chance of qualifying for the semi-finals of the Champions League. ”、

"Well, there's no way around it, and the pressure on the team in the league is just too much. Heynckes just tried his best to get Leeds United to focus on the domestic arena, but he didn't expect to be self-defeating and was eliminated from the Champions Cup by O'Reilly. For Fiorentina's experience in the Champions Cup this season, Zhuang Mingge also felt a little regretful. With Redondo and Effenberg getting older, and strikers such as Sheva and Ronaldo unable to play at full capacity due to injury, Heynckes can play with such a Fiorentina team to this point is quite a remarkable achievement.

Of course, for the media and Fiorentina fans who are accustomed to seeing teams bring home a heavyweight trophy every season, a season that is likely to be empty is clearly something they don't want to accept.

As a result, as the season progressed and deepened, the clamor among fans and the media about Heynckes' sacking grew louder and reached its highest peak after Fiorentina were eliminated from the Champions Cup!

Then again, if it weren't for Fiorentina's hopes of winning their first league title in three seasons, the calls for Heynckes' resignation might have doubled.

At this time, nearly two years have passed since Zhuang Mingge decided to retreat behind the scenes due to family reasons. During this time, Zhuang Mingge took good care of Karin and Rebecca, who were pregnant, and handed over most of the work to the previously arranged responsible persons, such as Antonioni and Mendes. Only some things that must be decided by him will Zhuang Mingge personally come forward to deal with them.

A year ago, Rebecca and Karin gave birth to a son and a daughter named Andrea Corleone and Flavia Corleone, respectively. However, in order to avoid all kinds of discussions about the lives of the trio, the two children were nominally born to Rebecca, the "main wife".

Although Karin herself did not express any attitude towards this, Zhuang Mingge felt very guilty in his heart. After all, Karin has followed her wholeheartedly all these years, and even has children, and he can't even give her the title of a wife, this kind of behavior is really a bit too scumbag.

And in Italy's inner circle, far from the public and media eyes, these things of Zhuang Mingge are not a secret worth hiding. After all, it is also a characteristic of Italian families, such as Berlusconi, which is a typical example, and all Italians don't pay too much attention to it, because they have long been accustomed to these things.

Therefore, as long as no one is brain-dead enough to pick out these things clearly, then Zhuang Mingge and the three of them will not have any waves, and they can still live along the current trajectory.

Of course, with Zhuang Mingge's current status and energy, even if someone wants to deliberately use this matter to destroy his life, he must first weigh his own weight, don't steal chickens and rice, Zhuang Mingge didn't have anything to do for a long time, and ended up putting himself in......

Now let's talk about the two years of Zhuang Mingge's retirement, and Florence's performance on all fronts. In the first year, the 2000-01 season, the two veterans of Effenberg and Redondo played the last peak of their careers in this season, and Fiorentina also relied on the last glory of the old duo to overcome strong opponents in the Champions Cup, and finally defeated Bayern Munich led by Rui Costa and Heathfield, and won the Big Ears Cup for the fifth time in six years!

However, in Italy, Florence, which was invincible in the European theater, suffered Waterloo for the second year in a row.

The Milan duo are still in the throes of renewal this season, and neither the old Maldini nor Lippi can restore the glory of these two giants; Juventus was dragged down by the sluggish form of Pierrot, the prince of the Bianconeri, and the new signing Trezeguet was still in the run-in period, so it also withdrew from the league title race early that season; On the contrary, it is the Roma duo who are recruiting aggressively in the transfer market that is extremely competitive, and it is difficult to solve it with Fiorentina in the league battlefield.

Due to Fiorentina's excessive distraction in European competition, as well as the aging of the two core organizations of Effenberg and Redondo, who were unable to lead the team to deal with the competition on three fronts at the same time as before, the director of the purple lily in Serie A was far less stable than in the Champions Cup, and in the end, like last season, it was still defeated in the sprint stage, and was distanced by Roma in the standings, and watched the Red Wolves ascend to the championship.

So, under the leadership of Capello, the old Sensi finally got his wish, not only saw Roma beat the rivals in the league, but also witnessed the glory of the Red Wolves winning the Serie A championship trophy for the third time after 17 years!

Affected by the sudden departure of manager Eriksen, defending champions Lazio only finished third, and Cragnotti's big gamble in the summer failed to keep the Blues dominating the league; Juventus, who are trapped in Pierrot's sluggish form, are in fourth place in the standings, and the result of only one point ahead of fifth-placed Parma makes the old foxes very unhappy with Trapattoni who has entered the palace three times; The Milan duo, who are still in the process of being renewed, are behind Parma in sixth and seventh place respectively.

As for Fiorentina, who had a weak follow-up, the Purple Lily, who won the Champions Cup, finally won the league runner-up by two points, and unfortunately missed the league championship again!
