With Fiorentina's unbeaten run in the league coming to an end, the 2002-03 Serie A season officially entered a three-week winter break. The players have taken advantage of this time to go on vacation with their families and girlfriends, or choose to rest at home and enjoy this hard-won short vacation.
Although they were given a long-awaited and short-term holiday, that doesn't mean the players can relax unbridled during this winter break. After all, it's only been less than half of the season now, and if the players have too much fun this holiday and it affects their competitive form, then the club they play for will be dumbfounded.
Therefore, in order to ensure the competitive condition of the players, and the team's results after the winter break will not show signs of decline, the vast majority of Serie A teams will not let the players spend the three weeks of vacation in their entirety, and it is normal to set aside a week or so for recovery and adjustment.
In the case of Fiorentina, Heynckes only gave the players an eleven-day holiday. In other words, on the third day after New Year's Day, all Fiorentina players will return home from their holidays and continue to fight for victory and the final trophy.
Due to the "exploitation" of the head coach, this winter holiday has become very short, so after the game against Sampdoria, Heynckes just announced the disbandment on the spot, and found that most of the players disappeared without a trace the moment the German's voice landed, leaving only a few people such as Zivo and Sun Jihai still in place.
"......" saw the scene in front of him, Rao is well-informed Heynckes couldn't help but be stunned for a while, thinking to himself why the current group of players are so uncomposed, as soon as the holiday was announced, even the shadow could not be seen, obviously it was not like this in the first two years?
Heynckes certainly didn't know that Fiorentina's impressive performance on all fronts this season, losing only three games so far (two of which were deliberately drained) has caused countless opponents and the media to exclaim "the return of the king", but also put a lot of physical and psychological burden on the players, especially when the first team is not full. That's why the players are so eager for this winter holiday that they are doing what they just did.
But soon, Heynckes got some psychological comfort from Qi Wo, Sun Jihai and others who were still in front of him: "Fortunately, it seems that not everyone is so ruthless, at least a few of you boys are willing to be with me." ”
"Uh......" Ziwo hesitated for a moment, but finally did not tell the truth, but decisively changed the topic, "Boss, when will the bus come, we are still waiting to take the bus back...... What about Florence. ”
Zivo, who noticed Heynckes' gaze and couldn't bear to make up for the other party, just suppressed the word "homecoming" in his throat and changed it to Fiorentina in time, so as not to let the head coach go completely out.
It should be added here that due to the upheavals in Eastern Europe in the last century, many of Fiorentina's Eastern European players have brought their families to live in Italy, such as Shevchenko and Zivo now. This is also something that cannot be helped, who will let the post-upheaval in Eastern Europe be unstable, and people's quality of life and safety will not be effectively guaranteed. If his family were still living in such an environment, I am afraid that the players themselves would not be able to play football with peace of mind, right?
Although the players are happily going on holiday all over the world, it is clear that for all the club executives, they will not have the opportunity to enjoy the same treatment as the players. Because they now need to make targeted adjustments to the existing squad based on the team's performance in the past few months: or in the transfer market to make up for deficiencies; Or clear out some players who are not suitable to stay in the team due to their declining form, as well as those unstable elements in the dressing room, so as not to adversely affect the atmosphere and combat effectiveness of the team.
All in all, this winter break is the last chance for any ambitious club to bolster their squad this season and it will have to be capitalised. Otherwise, by the end of the season, they are likely to be poked in the backbone by disappointed fans if they fail to achieve their expected goals, or even fired by their own boss as a scapegoat.
So, after the winter break, all the teams started to move and work hard for their goals.
'I think the team has to do a reinforcement up front this winter. In the conference room of the Fiorentina club, Heynckes was stating his opinion in front of Zhuang Mingge and other high-level onlookers, "Take our last game against Sampdoria as an example, there are only two strikers left in the whole team, Inzaghi and Ronaldo (here Cristiano Ronaldo) can play, the latter of which is still a winger, so we have to use Inzaghi as a single arrow to face Sampdoria, and finally suffered the first defeat since the start of this season's Serie A." So, in order to avoid a situation like this again, I think it is very necessary to bring in another striker this winter. ”
"Well, I think the striker problem can be put aside for a while." Apparently, Antonioni didn't really agree with Heynckes, saying, "After all, the game against Sampdoria was so special. It's not something that happens to have four of the six strikers fall at once, and only two of them are able to play......
"That's why I said, it's just in case." Seeing that Antonioni was opposed, Heynckes immediately stood up and retorted, "Although the probability of this kind of thing happening is very small, once the team encounters this kind of large-scale injury situation again, we can have a way to deal with it, instead of just resigning ourselves to fate or letting others slaughter us." ”
“…… With good strikers like Milito and Inzaghi, I think the matter of getting a replacement for Vieri is still up for debate. Antonioni ignored Heynckes, who interrupted him, and continued to elaborate his opinion, "It's the central defender position, I think it needs to be strengthened. After all, for us who still have to face a three-front battle after the winter break, only three genuine central defenders are obviously far from enough. If one of them goes out injured, the consequences can be very serious. Moreover, the probability of this kind of thing happening is not low. ”
