After the game, Batistuta and Vieri greeted each other on the pitch and prepared to exchange shirts on the sidelines – but this did not prevent the camaraderie between Batti and Vieri, although they are now their own masters.

"I say, Master." During the shirt exchange, Vieri patted Barty on the shoulder and asked in confusion, "Why did you have to leave Fiorentina in the first place?" The atmosphere in the dressing room here is much better than other teams, not only are the salaries high and the titles to be won, you still have such a high status in the hearts of the owners and fans, how can Inter Milan give you that? If it's because I've taken up too much of your playing time, I'm willing to share this time with you, Master, and I won't embarrass you, Master!" ”

'Christian [Vieri], I didn't leave Fiorentina for any money or status at the club, and certainly not because of your connections. Looking at the apprentice in front of him, whose achievements were not inferior or even showed signs of surpassing him, Barty smiled and replied, "Although in your opinion, my words may be just a pretext, but I can tell you that if it weren't for my country and my dream of the World Cup, I would never choose to leave Florence!" Even if you sit on the bench and sit on the bench, you will never do that! ”

"You know, the Argentine national team can be said to be full of talent in the center forward position now, in addition to me, there are also new talents such as Julio (Cruz), Crespo, Palermo, etc., and their appearance and growth have had a very big impact on my position in the national team. So, in order to ensure that I can continue to be the main center forward under Coach Bielsa, I have to choose between Fiorentina and the national team! ”

"To be honest, it's really hard for me to understand what you're thinking, master, you've already participated in two World Cups as an absolute main force, and you're obviously not content yet." Vieri handed the shirt with the number nine printed on it to Barty, and then took the Inter Milan jersey from Barty's hand, and said, "Look at Fernando (Redondo) and Stefan (Effenberg) captains, they both announced their retirement from the national team when they were about the same age as Master, and it stands to reason that they should be more like proving their abilities on the World Cup, a stage that fans all over the world are watching." ”

"That's because people have their own ambitions, Fernando and Stefan have not been taken seriously in the national team for many years, so there will naturally be some resentment in their hearts, and it is natural to choose to quit at this time." As Redondo's teammate in the Argentine national team, Barty certainly knows about the injustice that this compatriot suffered during the Passarella era, it is indeed a very sad past, and Redondo's reluctance to stay in the national team and continue to be angry is understandable, "But I am different, now my World Cup total has reached nine, and with just one more, I can increase that number to double digits, and this honor is really difficult for me to give up." Moreover, to be able to represent the Argentine national team on the stage of the World Cup three times in a row is a huge honor in itself, and for me, it is really a hard to refuse**. ”

"Well, anyway, I just want to ask Master to confirm it yourself, and I don't mean anything else." Vieri slung Barty's shirt over his shoulders and walked in the direction of the players' tunnel while waving his hand at Barty, "I hope you have all the best at Inter, Master Gabriel." ”

"You too, Christian." Barty watched Vieri disappear into the aisle before sighing and walking towards the visitors' dressing room with his Inter team-mates.

The home win over Inter Milan gave Fiorentina fans a good weekend and the Purple Lilies now lead the league table with 25 points from eight wins, one draw and one loss. Whether it is Inter Milan or Juventus, or AC Milan and Lazio, teams have been pulled away by Fiorentina.

Next, Fiorentina ushered in the European Champions Cup.

On November 25, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Fiorentina hosted Athletic Bilbao at home.

Despite the fact that the main players were consumed in the big game against Inter Milan last weekend, and several key players, including Effenberg and Carlos, were banned from the physiotherapy center by experts due to physical fatigue, Fiorentina, who sent a large number of substitutes, still beat the Basque Lions who were fighting for a place in the group 2-0 at home!

Fiorentina's two goals came from set-pieces up front, with Andrea Pirlo opening the scoring for Fiorentina in the 21st minute with a brilliant lift kick; Big Inzaghi took advantage of a corner kick to nod the ball and help Fiorentina seal the win!

In the other Group B group game played at the same time, PSV Eindhoven were beaten by Rosenborg in the ice and snow of Norway, and finally lost the duel 1-3.

As a result, after winning this victory, Fiorentina, which has won four wins and one draw in five group games and accumulated 13 points, locked the top spot in Group B in advance, while Athletic Bilbao, who only accumulated three points after five games, was eliminated in one round early, which surprised many fans - people originally thought that the first to be eliminated from this group would be Rosenborg, a team with almost no well-known stars, but they did not expect that it was the runner-up of La Liga last season who was eliminated first.

In fact, this phenomenon will occur, mainly because Rosenborg and Athletic Bilbao are in different league environments. Even if the former is distracted by European competition, he can still maintain a strong position in the league; This is not the case with the latter, and if they dare to play only on the bench in the league and let all the main players focus on the Champions League, then the final result is likely to be a gloomy relegation for the Basque Lions at the end of the season.

Therefore, another qualifying place in Group B will be born between Rosenborg and PSV Eindhoven. At present, the Dutch giants are in second place with two wins, one draw and two losses, but Rosenborg is only one point behind PSV Eindhoven. If Robson Sr. is not careful in the final round against Bilbao, it is likely that he will be overtaken by Rosenborg in the standings after the final round of the group stage.

After playing the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, the Fiorentina squad did not spend the days leading up to the weekend preparing for the league, as the other Serie A teams do, but flew from Florence to the distant Japanese capital of Tokyo, where Fiorentina will appear in the Toyota Cup final for the third time in a row, this time against Brazil's Vasco da Gama!
