Although Heynckes and Zhuang Mingge and other Fiorentina executives were very surprised that Ronaldo was suddenly found to have a hidden danger in his right knee, and at the same time had to face the cruel reality that the aliens announced the reimbursement of the season at a critical moment, which made Fiorentina face a shortage of strikers, they did not force Ronaldo to play with an injury before he was completely good for the sake of the team's momentary results. On the contrary, after learning from Thomas Carter that the aliens only need a few months of recuperation and can return to the game without going under the knife, both men breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to Ronaldo's request to miss the rest of the season.
After all, in the eyes of Heynckes and Zhuang Mingge and others, Ronaldo's career is much more important than Fiorentina's wins and losses in one or two games!
It is not difficult to understand that Heynckes would make this decision, considering that the German coach was also a super-scorer in his playing days, but he went downhill early due to injuries just after the age of 30, so the Germans certainly do not want Ronaldo's talented junior to follow in his footsteps. Zhuang Mingge's reason is simpler, he was very fond of aliens in his previous life, and he definitely didn't want to see Ronaldo repeat his mistakes under his nose.
So, with the decision made by both the head coach and the owner, the alien's three-month suspension due to injury was decided. Although the young Ronaldo is somewhat reluctant to do this, the alien is not an unreasonable guy, of course he knows that the team is responsible for his professional life, so after reading his diagnosis, the alien finally honestly went to the physiotherapy center to report.
In this way, when the season entered the most critical sprint stage, Fiorentina lost Ronaldo, a striker, and in the next two months, Heynckes will only have three regular strikers available!
Ronaldo was reimbursed for the season due to injury, and the news shocked the entire Italian and even European football world! After all, everyone knows the importance of aliens to Fiorentina's attacking system, and although they don't score as many goals as teammates like Vieri and Shevchenko, the aliens' ability to be well-rounded and connect midfield is something that the other three don't have! Perhaps in a few years Shevchenko will also be able to develop this ability, but now, the Ukrainian nuclear warhead is still just a first-class striker who is quite dependent on the passing of his teammates, and does not have this ability of Ronaldo!
Moreover, after Ronaldo's reimbursement, Fiorentina only had three regular strikers left, which is somewhat insufficient for the Purple Lily, which needs to fight on three fronts. With the lack of strikers, Vieri naturally has to play more time in games, and fitness and form in each game are naturally an issue.
Therefore, in this situation, many teams have seen the possibility of overthrowing the Purple Lily's hegemony this season while Fiorentina's attack power is weakened due to the lack of personnel in the front.
At the same time, in order to protect Ronaldo's career, Fiorentina chose to let the alien take a three-month truce instead of letting him insist on fighting, which soon spread to every corner of European football under the spread of well-intentioned people!
After learning that Fiorentina would make such a heavy sacrifice to protect a player's career, the vast majority of players began to envy the aliens who played for Purple Lily. Especially those stars who often have to play with injuries because of the requirements of coaches and club management, Ronaldo is full of envy, jealousy and hatred, thinking why they haven't met clubs that care so much about players, all of them are like sweatshops, requiring them to be slightly injured at every turn......
To tell the truth, for professional football players, the most feared thing is actually to play with an injury, because this is likely to lead to aggravated injuries, and then there will be some serious consequences, the most typical example is Owen, this wind-chasing teenager in the early stage of his career, the director said goodbye to the ranks of first-class strikers at the age of 26, and at the age of 30, he had to face the embarrassing situation of sitting on the cold bench and watching his teammates perform.
Therefore, although Fiorentina lost Ronaldo, the ace of the striker, it has established a very good image in the minds of the players, which is why many players who want to pursue honor in the future refuse to pay high salaries and prefer to choose Fiorentina with worse treatment - for many players, it is too rare to find a club like Fiorentina with a human touch and the strength to fight for honor!
In addition to the news of Ronaldo's season reimbursement, another piece of news worth mentioning is that after beating Juventus 1-0 away, Lazio have improved their league points to 53 points, and the current difference between the Blue Eagles and Fiorentina at the top of the table is 11 points, and only one goal away from Juventus in second place!
Although there are only six rounds left before the end of the Serie A season, the gap between Fiorentina and those chasing behind them is constantly narrowing. Therefore, in the eyes of many, if Fiorentina can't adjust their form and ask for the impact of Ronaldo's absence, then the eight-point gap between them and Juventus may soon be erased!
The narrowing of the gap between Juventus and Fiorentina greatly boosted the morale of Lazio, and in the 29th round of Serie A a week later, the morale-boosting Blue Eagles beat Guidolin's Vicenza 1-0 at home!
Although it did not shorten the gap between Juventus, who also won in this round, Fiorentina drew 1-1 with Zaccheroni's AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium, bringing the gap between Lazio and the top of the table closer to nine points! This means that with five rounds of the league remaining, the difference between Juventus and Fiorentina is only six points!
Considering that Fiorentina have won only one of their last six league games, and the next two rounds of the league Purple Lily will face two strong rivals, Lazio and Juventus. It suddenly became clear that if Fiorentina were still so sluggish in the league battle, it was really unknown who would win the Serie A title this season.
As a result, as Fiorentina's lead in the standings has shrunk significantly, the suspense of the Serie A title has been rekindled, and Fiorentina, who have dominated Italian football for five years, are finally about to usher in their biggest challenge!
