After hearing Friesk blow the final whistle, Shevchenko sat down on the turf, and the future Ukrainian nuclear warhead was looking at the goal not far away with red eyes and a dejected expression. It seems that he is very unwilling to be eliminated from the Champions Cup by the team like this.
At the same time, Lobanovsky, who had finished shaking hands with Capello, walked from the coach's box to the pitch, comforting his disciples one by one - the Ukrainian coach who has seen the wind and waves knows very well that the team's impressive performance this season has attracted the attention of many European giants, and with the current financial situation and status of Dynamo Kyiv, it is almost impossible to keep these good seedlings after the season.
There are only two things Lobanovsky can do now, the first is to get these disciples to recover as much as possible, and not to cause any psychological shadows because of this defeat. Lobanovski, who came by training, knows exactly what kind of impact such a comeback from defeat to victory can have on players, especially young players.
Secondly, the highly respected, but due to his physical health, the Ukrainian coach who has not had much time to play hopes from the bottom of his heart that this group of players he has spent several years carefully out of this group can attract the attention of those more powerful Western European teams with their wonderful performances in this season's Champions League games, so as to get out of the small world of Ukraine and show their talents on a broader stage!
Although he is very reluctant to let these disciples who get along with him go away in the future, Lobanovsky understands in his heart that the current Eastern European football has long been far away from the era when it could compete with Western European football ten years ago, or even earlier. Although first-class stars such as Pobosky and Nedved have still emerged in recent years, on the whole, Eastern European football has been left far behind by these developed countries in Western Europe, both in terms of technical and tactical level and football foundation!
Moreover, the current Dynamo Kyiv does not have the support of a consortium behind it, and cannot seek state support as before, in the face of the cheque book waved by the Western European club, it is a deception. After all, the day-to-day operation of the club and the development of players are a lot of expenses, and without backup, it is simply impossible to maintain the operation without selling people!
Therefore, Lobanovsky hopes from the bottom of his heart to find a suitable place for his disciples, especially the Ukrainian twin stars Shevchenko and Rybrov, and the old coach is very much looking forward to the future of these two proud disciples, thinking that sooner or later one of them will be able to reach or even surpass the achievements of their senior brothers Blokhin and Belanov!
Now, after being knocked out of the Champions League by Fiorentina, Lobanovski feels he has found a desirable place for one of his proud protégés. At the very least, the club seems to be a better fit for Shevchenko's career than AC Milan, the bald representative named Galliani, who has been circling around him and constantly pulling in on the relationship, just to pay millions less for the transfer fee.
"Cut, I didn't expect that at this age, Lao Tzu would have to take the initiative to be a lobbyist for others and do the ideological work of Andrey (Shevchenko)." Lobanovsky, who was worried about his disciple's future, sighed as he walked to the training ground of the first team of the Kyiv Dynamo team, where a blonde young man with an inch head was constantly dribbling on the field, "If Andrei can finally make the trip, Lao Tzu must let this kid have a good meal, otherwise he will really have been raised for so many years......
That's right, Lobanovsky's next home for Shevasyan is Fiorentina, who just beat Dynamo Kiev and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions Cup! Although Fiorentina already has Vieri, Ronaldo and Inzaghi three first-class strikers in the team at this time, and there are potential rookies like Di Natale on the bench, in the opinion of the Ukrainian coach, Shevchenko's strength can definitely allow him to find a place in Fiorentina's forward line!
However, it is clear that Lobanovsky has forgotten one important thing, and that is that he does not seem to have considered whether Fiorentina had any intention of bringing in Shevchenko......
It was this omission that led to a drama that made AC Milan crazy in the summer transfer market that opened not long after!
Leaving Lobanovsky's actions at this point for now, let's turn the conversation back to Florence.
After reversing Dynamo Kiev, which had the initiative before the game, with a 4-1 victory, and narrowly advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions Cup, Fiorentina, who had refocused on the domestic battlefield, ushered in the 29th round of Serie A three days after the Champions Cup.
On 17 April, the Fiorentina squad arrived at the Stadio Dalara, where they will take on Bologna, led by the famous Signori, this evening.
Bologna handed Fiorentina a defeat in the first leg of the season, so there is a lot of hope from everyone in the squad to get back face in this game and avenge last year's victory.
However, a realist like Capello naturally can't be deliberately angry, and the reason why he is willing to send some of his main forces against Bari is that on the one hand, he really wants to complete his revenge on Barry and maintain the team's lead in the standings; More important. It is to observe the state of these core players, so as not to have another extremely sad situation like the first contract Dynamo Kyiv.
And now, with six rounds of the league remaining, Fiorentina are ten points ahead of second-placed Lazio, and the title can be said to be a good one. And this kind of clear championship shape shì just gave Capello the confidence to rotate.
So, in this league match with Bologna, Capello put all his substitutes in the starting line-up, and even the extremely poor defensive (Capello) Madavecchia replaced Zambrotta as Fiorentina's starting right wing-back in this game.
As a result of this massive rotation of the starting line-up, in the face of Bologna, who had made their way out of the quagmire of relegation ahead of schedule, the Fiorentina II team drew 3-3 away from the Stadio Dallara after 90 minutes of tenacious battle with their opponents thanks to a brace from Inzaghi and a direct free-kick from Andrea Pirlo.
(Note: At the end of the 98-99 season, the difference between Sampdoria and Bologna, who finished third-from-bottom, was only seven points, which shows the tragic relegation battle of Serie A at that time.) )
