The 1995-96 Serie A season has come to an end, and for Fiorentina fans, the season is not over yet – at least not yet.

Because in ten days at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, there will be a match that fans all over Europe and even all shijie fans will follow! That's the UEFA Champions League final this season!

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome was originally capable of 105,000 spectators, but 25,000 of them were in the stands, and due to several stadium tragedies in the 80s (Heysel and Hirzburg), UEFA banned standing tickets for European competitions, so the Stadio Olimpico has been renovated to only 72,000 seats.

In this European Champions Cup final, the organizers provided 25,000 tickets for Fiorentina and Ajax fans respectively, and deducted some seats reserved for journalists and sponsors, and the remaining nearly 20,000 tickets belonged to neutral fans. For Fiorentina fans, 25,000 tickets are obviously not enough to satisfy their appetite, after all, Fiorentina's 47,000-seat Frankie Stadium has often been full this season, and more than 20,000 tickets are not enough for the fans to fill their teeth.

For Fiorentina fans, it is unforgivable to miss the team in this Champions League final, and God knows when Fiorentina will next reach the Champions League final - you don't see Barcelona and Real Madrid dominate La Liga for the past decade, but the number of times they have reached the Champions League final is only that two, one of which was destroyed by AC Milan by a 4-0 ......

It is precisely for this reason that on the day when tickets for the Champions League final were sold at the ticket window in Fiorentina, long queues had already begun at the ticket window, and many fans were running to line up in the middle of the night, hoping to get a valuable ticket.

Compared to the fans, the Fiorentina players' relatives and friends were much happier, and Zhuang Mingge specially arranged for Kenyon to leave a hundred tickets, two for each first-team player, and some of the outstanding players in the youth team also got a ticket, and the rest was given to Antonioni to reward the best club staff - such benefits and human touches are also a way to enhance the cohesion of the club.

As for Zhuang Mingge himself, he had already obtained a VIP box rented by the Sensi family at the Olympic Stadium for many years through Rosella Sensi's connections, and he was naturally accompanied by three beautiful girls, Karin, Rebecca and Elisa.

What the? Where did this uncle Antonioni, you ask, go? Of course, he was taken to the next box by Zhuang Mingge.

If you disturb someone else's relationship, you'll be kicked to death by a horse. [laughs]

Four days before the Champions Cup final, the Fiorentina team took a bus to Rome, the capital of Italy, to stay in a five-star hotel. On the way to Rome, Ranieri also emphasized the discipline of the team, for example, you are not allowed to go out of the hotel without permission, and if you want to rest, you can be in the hotel, anyway, the five-star hotel is quite good no matter what kind of entertainment facilities it is, and there are many gyms, bars, and places to have fun.

The Fiorentina players are quite understanding of this, they know what time it is, if they want to relax, when the Champions League final is over, they can relax as much as they want, and now go out to the nightclub? Are you kidding......

Over the next few days, the Fiorentina players went to the Stadio Olimpico once a day to train on acclimatisation, and the rest of the day spent the rest of the day in secret tactical training at the AS Roma's free training base.

The Ajax players who came to Rome almost at the same time as Fiorentina did not have such a generous treatment, not only were they repeatedly harassed by the management of the Olympic Stadium when applying for adaptation training, and had to move the training time from the afternoon to close to the evening, but also when they first began to adapt to the venue, the stadium's lighting facilities failed due to some "unexpected factors", which directly led to the complete failure of Ajax's first day of training.

When Ajax FC were ready to contact another team in Rome, Lazio, to rent their training base, they were rejected by the Lazios, resulting in Ajax players having to do tactical training at a training ground with poor facilities under the coordination of UEFA.

Although Ajax manager Louis van Gaal is very angry about these things, he is also helpless, who let this time there happen to be an Italian team in the Champions League final, and the final venue is arranged in Italy.

It can be said that without any coordination, almost all Italians have united against Ajax, an "outsider", to create as much home advantage as possible for their home team, Fiorentina.

As the days passed, the atmosphere of the Champions League final became stronger and stronger, and most of the streets in the city of Rome were hung with UEFA flags on both sides, as well as the flag of Fiorentina club, and the flag of Italy was also increasing, as for the flag of Ajax and the flag of the Netherlands, it was difficult to find it.

According to the Romans, why should they hang the banner of their opponents on their doorstep......

UEFA has no way to deal with this attitude of the Roman people, after all, this is Europe, and the people have absolute autonomy within the scope of the law, even UEFA can only coordinate door-to-door with a good voice instead of dictating to the top and dictate that the Dutch flag must be hung.

In the period leading up to the final, Fiorentina should have the upper hand in the Champions League final, not only because of their excellent record in the league this season, but also because they almost beat Real Madrid in the group stage, then knocked out Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund and Ligue 1 champions Monaco in the knockout round. And Ajax's Legia and Panathinaikos in the knockout rounds are not strong teams. Such a contrast makes people more optimistic about Fiorentina's prospects of winning the title.

And the vast majority of Italian fans also said in an interview with reporters that they are more optimistic about the "Champions League newcomer" Fiorentina who has just completed two consecutive league championships than Ajax, when reporters asked the reason, these fans are quite proud to say that as the Serie A champion, Fiorentina can not deal with a half-crippled Ajax? Not to mention that they have three absolute mainstays in their squad who have been loaned to Ajax because they can't stay in the Fiorentina first team.

When the Dutch side heard this, they were naturally unhappy, so they had another bit of a rhetoric......

However, none of this has anything to do with the Fiorentina players for the time being, and their task now is to adjust their form for the most important game of the season!
