PS1: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, free books don't need to spend money, and it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~
PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.
"me, what the hell is going on? Why did what originally happened in Italy actually change and go to the other side of the sea to toss those Spaniards? Looking at the news about the general strike of the La Liga team published in the freshly baked newspaper, Zhuang Mingge thought with an embarrassed face.
Although Zhuang Mingge understood that the current Serie A would never be able to stage a farce of eight poor strikes like in history, he never expected that a large-scale strike movement would break out in Spain for the same reason!
I hope that the Spanish Football Federation will not be so brain-dead as to deliberately favor Real Madrid and Barcelona this time, and deal with this matter properly as soon as possible, otherwise, this season's La Liga will have fun. If La Liga is postponed due to the uneven distribution of TV broadcast fees, the strike will be a devastating blow to the prestige of La Liga and Spanish football!
Fans are not a sane group, and they don't care about the reasons and reasons for the strike. They will only remember that the La Liga clubs, for their own benefit, ignored the fans and opted for the extreme measure of boycotting, so that they could not watch the long-awaited game on time.
This is the same as the famous NBA labor dispute in the United States in '98, which not only forced Stern to cancel the preseason and training camp, as well as the full 32 regular season games, but also made all basketball fans realize that the NBA is essentially that the game is just a business between a group of capitalists (team owners) and another group of capitalists (NBA players), who only care about whether their interests are harmed, and never take into account the fans who have no ball to watch because of the shutdown.
It is precisely because of this that the shutdown has caused great damage to the official image and prestige of the NBA, losing the large number of fans and the reputation that Jordan has won over in the era, and it took a long time to recover some vitality, but it still did not reach the height of Jordan's second retirement.
Therefore, if La Liga also delays the start date or even shuts down completely due to financial problems, then the impact on La Liga will be equally devastating, and may even be more serious than the consequences of the NBA shutdown - after all, the NBA is the world's number one basketball league, while La Liga is only one of the four major leagues in Europe, and there are at least three leagues of the same level, and fans are fully qualified to empathize and support teams in other leagues.
In this way, even if La Liga still has Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two top giants as golden signs, its overall influence and ability to attract money are bound to decline sharply, and there may be little hope of catching up with Serie A, which is still at the top of the European standings.
The Spanish Football Federation was the first of the many parties to react and realize that something was wrong, and it was also the first to stand up and respond positively to the strike, trying to find a peaceful solution to the strike in the shortest possible time, so that the league could proceed normally as originally planned.
Unfortunately, although the Spanish Football Federation nominally has the right to manage all football clubs in Spain, in reality, it has to look at the faces of the two supergiants, Real Madrid and Barcelona, in dealing with many problems. The two clubs reacted in the same way to the boycott, resolutely opposing the relinquishment of their share of the profits to the poor and middle peasants in these leagues.
Seeing that Real Madrid and Barcelona have such strong opposition, the Spanish Football Federation is also helpless. After all, this distribution plan was originally formulated by the Football Association itself, and now that the deadline has not passed, they naturally cannot force the two clubs to cede part of their interests to other teams. Therefore, this time, the Spanish Football Federation can only find a way to solve the current crisis on their own.
Now that we have talked about the boycott in Spain, let's turn our attention back to the upcoming first round of Serie A.
After last season's big four and a whole summer of adjustment and running-in, Fiorentina is full of hunger for championship glory. Therefore, in the face of the team's first opponent in the new season of Serie A, the promoted Marnpoli who is in the same Tuscany region as Fiorentina, Heynckes did not have the slightest idea of underestimating the enemy, and directly sent the strongest starting lineup in his hand.
The starting goalkeeper naturally belongs to Buffon, and unless an accident happens, or Buffon himself needs to rest, Guadalben can only accept the fate of sitting on the bench on the bench.
At the back, Roberto Carlos and Zambrotta split on the left and right wings, the two players are at the peak of their careers, and the physicality and experience strike a perfect balance at this stage that gives them the ability to handle; In the central defender position, the world's No. 1 central defender combination of Stam and Nesta still started together, and Lucio, who has only been in Fiorentina for a short time, sat on the bench due to a lack of tacit understanding and the need to adapt to the environment, quietly waiting for the opportunity to play for the Purple Lily for the first time.
In midfield, Heynckes made corresponding adjustments to the changes in the first-team lineup, Deco, Pirlo and Ballack came on at the same time to form the midfield iron triangle, and their main task in this game was to clarify their respective division of labor and adapt to the presence of teammates as soon as possible; Behind them is France international Claude Makelelele, whose duty is to sweep away the midfield and protect the defence from direct onslaught.
It can be said that it is precisely because of the existence of the super blue-collar Makelele that Heynckes dared to send Pirlo and Deco at the same time. Otherwise, to be on the safe side, he would definitely take down one of Pirlo and Deco, who were lacking in defensive ability, and switch to Gattuso or Albertini.
As for the forward line, Vieri took one of the starting spots, but this time his partner was not his good friend Inzaghi, but Diego Milito, who had just joined the team. Obviously, Heynckes intends to test the power of various forward combinations in order to prepare for the next game.
The above is Fiorentina's starting eleven in this game, I believe that if nothing else, with the strength of this starting lineup that can almost be said to be an all-star, the Purple Lily won a mere Empoli, and it is not a problem to get off to a good start in the league.
Of course, if they are to overtake defending champions Inter Milan, who beat Torino by three goals earlier, to move to the top of the table by the end of the game, it will be up to Vieri and Milito to be lucky enough to score goals on the night.
