Fiorentina had only been at the top of the table for one day, and with Juventus beating Lecce 3-0 the next day, they were crushed by the old woman.

The two Milans are now calm after a shocking start, AC Milan beat Palermo to sit third, only five points away from Fiorentina, Inter Milan won three in a row, although there is still a gap of nine points to the top of the table, but they are not behind, as long as the first three teams have ups and downs, they can immediately catch up.

After eight rounds, Serie A has returned to the original triumph competition, a supplementary pattern, but now it is not Roma who is supplemented, but Inter Milan, and Fiorentina has been steadily breaking into the top three for two consecutive years.

At this time last year, Fiorentina's results were not bad at all, but at that time Fiorentina had just risen from Serie B, they were called dark horses, dark horses often mean no stamina, spoilers, no one is optimistic that they will win the most rear-end championship, and now, Fiorentina has become a white horse, a favorite to win the championship, and a hero who has won glory for Serie A, and the media and fans trust them even more than the traditional giants Inter Milan.

This change in the outside world is not only because Fiorentina have been very consistent this season, but also because Fiorentina's strength has improved even more than last season.

Last season, Chen Yu was only a temporary appearance, and now, his influence has surpassed Italy to become a world-class star, and his role in Fiorentina has also gone beyond the victory or defeat of a game, with some totems and flags, and before, only Batistuta did this.

In addition to Chen Yu, the star Tony is one of the main strikers of the Italian national team, Di Natale is Italy's substitute international, Bodinov has always had conflicts with Prandelli, but Bodinov's strength cannot be underestimated, and he can also top it at critical moments.

The configuration of this forward line is definitely among the top three in Serie A, and in fact, Fiorentina is most proud of their forward line, a Chen Yu can kill almost all Serie A strikers in seconds, and the configuration of the midfield and goalkeeper can only be regarded as decent.

Fiorentina's strong rise has attracted a lot of attention, and even the just-announced shortlist of 50 candidates for the '05 Ballon d'Or has included Chen Yu, who has already been selected in the top 10 of Asian Footballer of the Year and the top 30 of the World Footballer of the Year.

The European Ballon d'Or is very different from the selection of the World Footballer of the Year, which is chosen by the head coaches and captains of each national team, while the European Ballon d'Or is selected by anonymous voting by all the editors and reporters of the French Football magazine.

Some people say that coaches and captains are more professional, and some say that editors and reporters are more authoritative, but one thing is certain, that is, if any player can be selected for these two shortlists, it means that the strength of this player has been widely recognized.

Since there are 50 candidates for the European Ballon d'Or and only 30 candidates for the World Footballer of the Year, the shortlist for this European Golden Ball Award includes all the candidates for the World Footballer of the Year. Among the 50 players, Juventus actually has a round, and the Brazilian star also has 9 finalists. As far as clubs are concerned, there is no doubt that the Premier League and Serie A teams have become the big winners of this shortlist.

In this list, Chen Yu and Park Ji-sung have become representatives of Asia, the media believes that these two people can only be selected for the European Golden Ball Award, mainly because of their excellent performance last season, Park Ji-sung followed PSV Eindhoven to the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season, and also transferred to the giant Manchester United, which is a plus, and Chen Yu's performance in Serie A is also unexpected, as a promoted horse, Fiorentina won the third place under the leadership of Chen Yu and entered the Champions League, What's even more surprising is that Chen Yu scored 36 goals in 18 games, breaking Nodal's 40-year scoring record and winning the European Golden Boot.

Successfully shortlisted for the European Golden Ball Award list, Chen Yu's heart of the last boot also fell to the ground, last season he successfully led Fiorentina to Serie A, his own performance is also very good, however, whether it is the European Golden Ball Award or the World Footballer nomination, or even the Asian Footballer nomination does not have his name, which makes Chen Yu very hit, because Chen Yu feels that it must be no fun to enter the top few, but it should not be a big problem to be shortlisted, and the skinny reality shatters the plump ideal.

From then to now, Chen Yu has almost put aside all entertainment activities, and spent all his body and mind on the game, and Chen Yu has indeed achieved certain results, and now, Chen Yu's efforts have finally paid off, and the three authoritative football selection organizations have recognized his performance, which means that the coaches, captains and reporters of the whole world have recognized his performance, Chen Yu feels that it doesn't matter how many places he can score after the most Lu, Fiorentina only won third place last season, in addition to getting a top scorer, A Coppa Italia champion, no other important honors, no results in the national team, no results in Europe, Chen Yu doesn't believe that he can achieve any decent results in the competition with these world-class stars.

Chen Yu has no ideas in the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, but in the selection of the Asian Footballer, Chen Yu has certain ambitions.

As a leading figure in Asian football, Chen Yu has only one opponent in Asia, and that is South Korean star Park Ji-sung.

The age of Park Ji-sung is younger than Chen Yu, but his achievements are not worse than Chen Yu, after transferring to Manchester United, he has received no less attention than Chen Yu, the Asian Footballer of the Year competition, it should be said that China and South Korea are the leaders of the two East Asian countries, like Japan's Shunsuke Nakamura and Iran's Karimi are not good, Saudi Arabia's Muntari ability is a short board, they have no way to compete with Chen Yu and Park Ji-sung.

Compared with Chen Yu, Park Ji-sung has an advantage in team results and club achievements, and the two are basically a draw, but Park Ji-sung still performs well in the national team, while Chen Yu lacks the national team results, if it weren't for Chen Yu's personal ability being too prominent, he would be a little worse than Park Ji-sung, but now, the two are basically equal.

Chen Yu was sitting on the sofa and was pondering, Zhao Muyu quietly came behind him, "Brother Xiao Yu, what are you thinking, so distracted?" Missed your grandparents? ”

Chen Yu said: "No, I'm thinking about something. ”

Zhao Muyu saw the newspaper on the coffee table and said, "I'm thinking about the Golden Globe Awards, Brother Xiao Yu, I think you can be in the top three." ”

When Chen Yu heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Mu Yu, don't praise me, Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, Gerrard, Lampard and others, which one is not better than me." ”

"The Ballon d'Or is not a team result, but an individual ability, otherwise Liverpool and Barcelona will be better than you in the lineup, besides, Ronaldinho didn't win the World Footballer of the Year last year without any results."

Zhao Muyu said disdainfully, in the past three years in college, her personality has been much more cheerful than before, and she has become more confident in speaking and doing things than before.

Chen Yu said with a smile: "That being said, grades are still an important criterion for the selection of the Golden Globe Awards, otherwise how to measure it, just look at individual results?" ”

Zhao Muyu said: "Your results are not bad, last season's third place in the league, the Italian Cup champion, this season's second in the league, and the Champions League results are excellent, don't you have any hope to compete with them?" ”

Chen Yu sighed and said: "Actually, in addition to results and personal data, it still depends on the fame and influence of the player, just like Cafu, Figo, Ronaldo and others, they will be nominated without outstanding results and personal data, this is influence." And I became a little late and didn't have enough influence, I don't think I can compare with them, if I have any ideas before the winter break, it's to win the Asian Footballer of the Year, which is the most likely honor for me. ”

Zhao Muyu said: "You are so concerned about this chicken rib award, do you want to get an award so that you can go home to see your grandparents." ”

Chen Yu smiled and said: "Yes, I have this idea, although I have made a little name in Europe and won a championship in the Italian Cup, but these grandparents don't understand, and they don't know what the championship and the top scorer are, but if I win the Asian Footballer, it will be different, in China, the reputation of the Asian Footballer will definitely be better, if I win this award, grandpa should be very happy." ”

Zhao Muyu said confidently: "I don't think you have much problem winning the Asian Footballer of the Year." Park Ji-sung must not be your opponent, in my opinion, he is a model worker, relying on hard work, and you are a real genius, a well-deserved all-round genius. ”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly and said, "What a genius, I'm also a model worker, but I scored more goals than Park Ji-sung." ”

Zhao Muyu said with a smile: "The task of a striker is to score goals, and a lot of goals is a genius." ”

Chen Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's really a fallacy, okay, Muyu, I hope you're right, when I get Mr. Football, I will definitely invite you to dinner." ”

Zhao Muyu shook his head, rolled his eyes, and said: "You don't need to invite me to dinner, Brother Xiaoyu, you are good enough to me, and I have nothing to repay you, if you can bring your grandparents to Italy, I will honor them, and it can be regarded as Xie Lu Xie Xiaoyu Brother You take care of me." “

Chen Yu waved his hand and said: "We are brothers and sisters, tell me what to be so polite, I don't want your repayment, grandparents will definitely not come to Europe, they are not used to it, in the village, they can talk and chat with the villagers, who to talk to here, not to mention that the plane is also a bit dangerous for the elderly in their seventies, I can't let them take this risk." “

Zhao Muyu smiled and said, "Since grandparents can't come, Brother Xiaoyu, can you take me back to China, I'll go see my grandparents, I've been listening to you for a long time, I've been curious about what kind of people they are."

Chen Yu was a little surprised that Zhao Muyu suddenly made this request, he never thought of taking Muyu home, because this name was not right, he was very worried that others would misunderstand, and he was even more worried about the misunderstanding of his grandparents, but Zhao Muyu mentioned it, and he didn't know for a while whether to refuse or agree.

Zhao Muyu saw that Chen Yu's face was changing, and couldn't help but say: "Actually, I also want to go back to China, I have been in Italy since I was a child, and I rarely return to China, and then my father's business is not good, so I have no chance to go back, in fact, I also want to go to other places in China." “

Chen Yu couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw Zhao Muyu's pitiful face, he sighed and said, "Okay, Muyu, I'll go back and ask Uncle Zhang, and then see if I can take you back." “

Although Chen Yu didn't say sure, in Zhao Muyu's opinion, there is nothing Chen Yu can't do, as long as he is willing, "My father will definitely agree, he will also go home for a while during the winter break, and I am very lonely to stay here alone." “

Chen Yu said: "Okay, I'll try to take you back." Actually, I told my grandparents about you, and they wanted to meet you. “

Zhao Muyu said: "Really? ”

Chen Yu nodded.

Zhao Muyu said happily: "That's great, I must go back with you to see them." Buy them the best gifts. “

Chen Yu waved his hand, "You don't need to buy anything, I'll buy it, you just follow me back." “

While the two were talking, Zhang Shubin came back, and he smiled and said to Chen Yu and Zhao Muyu: "What are you talking about, so happy, I see that my Muyu is happy like this." “

Zhao Muyu said with a smile: "Dad Yu, Brother Xiao Yu wants to take me back to meet my grandparents during the winter break." I haven't been back in many years, and I'm very happy. “

Chen Yu listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was obvious that Zhao Muyu was in charge of himself and wanted to go back with him, but now he took the initiative to take him back, but Chen Yu could understand the little girl's thoughts, so he just wanted to save face, so he was silent.

Zhang Shubin showed a hint of surprise on his face, and said, "Okay, you go back with Xiao Yu, and I should also have a good reunion with Zhang Han's mother and son." “

Chen Yu said: "It's time to get together, if you continue to work like this, your aunt will have to divorce you." “

Zhang Shubin smiled: "No, we are old husbands and wives, do you think that like you young people, you are uncomfortable if you don't be together for a day." “

After Zhang Shubin said this, he deliberately looked at Zhao Muyu, but Zhao Muyu's face was only slightly red, and then he was calm as usual, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Shubin's words.

And Chen Yu really didn't understand, although Zhao Muyu secretly liked him and expressed it to him, but Chen Yu still regarded her as a sister, and really didn't think much about it.

Chen Yu was nominated for the European Golden Globe Award, which was a happy event, although Gao Fei was not able to come over because of the preparation for the midweek big game with AC Milan, and the three of them fried a few more dishes in the evening and celebrated well.

Being nominated for the European Golden Globe Award has brought greater challenges to Chen Yu's life and career, and there are still two months to go before the final selection results, and now it is the sprint stage, and Chen Yu immediately put all his energy into the competition.

After the match against Parma, there is still a double match in the week, and Fiorentina will face Siena, their biggest rival in Tuscany and Chen Yu's rival.

Siena have been promoted to the first division since the 034 season, and the team's goal is only to avoid relegation. Last season, the team was relegated with 43 points, which seems to be thrilling but is actually very stable, which is also a phenomenon in Siena in recent seasons. It seems to be weak and windy, but it can always go ashore safely. Last season, the team won 5 wins, 8 draws and U-defeats at home, and 4 wins, 8 draws and 7 defeats on the road. He scored 44 goals and conceded 55 goals in 15th place. Siena's results were more balanced last season, but they have been playing at the lower middle level, and it was the latest stage of the league that led to relegation, although it seemed logical. Siena have been linked to match-fixing rumours since their promotion, and even came close to relegation last season.

In recent seasons, Siena have been very sensible in their player buying and selling policies, and they have built a team that can survive relegation in the middle and lower reaches of Serie A through loans and cheap purchases of veterans. Although there are also consecutive defeats and big defeats in the league, these will not affect the normal functioning of the team due to the club's low demands. Last season, due to poor results, the veteran coach Simeone stepped down and was coached by the experienced De Canio. Under De Canio, Siena even won at home to AC Milan. This match showed that Siena's individual players are not too poor when playing alone, but the lack of continuity is also related to the team's inability to guarantee player stability.

Siena has gone the likes of Manninger, Tadei and Flo this summer. However, the newly introduced Lerotale, Locatelli, Negro, Maracina and others are all very strong players, and after the conversion, Siena can only increase unabated.

Tadei has been the playmaker of the team's midfield since joining Siena in September, and although he has moved to Roma, the homegrown player Locatelli from Bologna is arguably no less than Taddei. Locatelli played 34 league games for Bologna last season, scoring three goals and providing four assists, between striker and midfielder. Also replacing Flo is Malazina from Turin, a striker who has worked wonders with Chievo and is known for his pace and headers. His arrival will be a further implementation of Decanio's tactical ideas.

In the new season, Siena's players have reached the mid-level in terms of individual ability, but whether they can play well as a whole depends on how Decanio adjusts. Locatelli, Marazina and Chiesa's attacking duo is huge, with Chiesa scoring in 36 league games last season and the veteran remaining the team's biggest threat to relegation.

The problem is in the back line. Negro is a veteran who has moved from Lazio and, despite his national team aura, has been put aside by the club last season due to a contract dispute with the club, and his current competitive form is questionable. In addition, Lerotalie, who will play as the main central defender, has been declining, and although he himself said that he will definitely return to the peak form of Chievo, he will always need to speak for himself on the pitch.
