Chapter 846: Juventus (1)

PS: In the new week, continue to ask for recommendation votes here, I hope you can continue to support you, thank you~

Zhuang Mingge and Beckenbauer had a very short phone call, and he did not make any special requests, but ended the call after a brief discussion about the abnormal behavior of the referee on duty in the final round of the Champions League group stage between Fiorentina and Solna AIK, and how to avoid such incidents from appearing on the stage of the three major European cups again.

"Tony, is this the end of it?" Seeing that Zhuang Mingge's anger had subsided a lot, Karin stepped forward and asked while massaging her sweetheart.

"Well, I've already communicated this matter to Franz, and he told me that he would immediately order the disciplinary committee to conduct a detailed investigation into the match." Zhuang Mingge comfortably enjoyed Karin's massage and replied, "But I don't think this time it should be someone within UEFA who is secretly trying to stumble us, after all, Fiorentina has already secured the top spot in the group before the start of this game, even if we lose to Solna, it will not have any impact on our ranking." In addition, Franz, the president of UEFA, is our ally, so even if someone doesn't like us, they won't jump out at this time, because it will only lose the opportunity and make us extra wary. ”

"Tony, you mean, it's just the referee's personal actions?" Karin said incredulously, "Then how brainless does this guy have to be, how dare he scare against Florence in front of everyone, isn't this death?" ”

"Marx once said that if there is 100% profit, the capitalists will take risks; If there is a 200% profit, the capitalists will flout the law; If there is a 300% profit, then the capitalists will trample on the world. Zhuang Mingge said seriously, "Although his sentence is just to illustrate the essence of capitalists' pursuit of profits, I think this sentence is very suitable for anyone who has a desire for money." For example, if there is an investment that can ensure 100% profit, then I will definitely not hesitate to take a kick. ”

"Well, that's right." Karin leaned over, kissed Zhuang Mingge lightly on the face, and said with some concern, "I hope that in a few days against Juventus, we Fiorentina will not be treated like this again." ”

"Of course not, trust me." Zhuang Mingge kissed Karin back and said, "Although our influence on Florence in European football is not very sufficient, no one in China will dare to hit Florence's head with crooked thoughts." Unless they really want money and don't want their lives, they have to ask me for a one-way ticket to the Adriatic. ”

I won't go into the details of how the UEFA Disciplinary Committee investigated the match and the referee, but now let's turn our attention to the upcoming Fiorentina game.

The successes of Lazio and Solna against Fiorentina have been a huge inspiration to the managers of other teams, especially for Juventus, who have a Serie A game against Fiorentina at the weekend, and these two successes are undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Bianconeri.

In particular, Juventus coach Carlo Ancelotti, who is currently leading the team to eight wins, four draws and one loss in the league, with 28 points, and is ranked second in the standings, so he naturally wants to take the opportunity of the next round of the two sides to defeat Fiorentina, so as to close the gap between the two sides in the standings. So when the news broke, the most excited was the Juventus manager.

Can't blame Ancelotti for getting carried away, after all, with Juventus's current player configuration, they can well replicate the tactics that have been proven by Lazio and Solna to be able to restrain Fiorentina, so it is understandable that Ancelotti, who has been questioned since last season's Champions Cup, would be so excited.

Carlo Ancelotti's excitement seemed to be contagious to his players, and when they spoke to reporters before the game, the confident Juventus players were full of words. Pierrot, who was caricatured as a "penalty striker" after returning from a serious injury, said that he would make a name for himself in this game, letting everyone know that he is definitely not a striker who can only score from penalties; Iuliano, who regained his place in the main team after the departure of France international Blank, also claimed that they had found a way to contain Fiorentina, just waiting to beat their opponents in the league at the weekend, without regard for the feelings of Fiorentina, his former club; Even Zinedine Zidane made a victory declaration in an interview, and it seems that the French midfielder has finally come out of the shadow of the French World Cup after a season of dormancy.

Looking at Florence's side, compared to the self-confident Juventus players, Effenberg seems to be very low-key, and they don't accept interviews from reporters every day when they come out of the training ground and go home to rest directly, all of which are very well-behaved, so that the reporters who have been blocking the gate of the Florence training base are stunned, and they say that Florence is really a magical place, and even a hot-tempered player like Effenberg can become an obedient boy here.

Although everyone knew in their hearts that Effenberg's thorns must have stopped because Heynckes had put a gag order on them, the uncooperative attitude of the Fiorentina players still made the reporters who claimed to be the uncrowned king feel very unhappy, and at the same time very faceless. After all, in the eyes of these arrogant journalists, how could Fiorentina be the best team in Europe without their vigorous publicity?

However, these reporters apparently selectively ignore the fact that Fiorentina has become the strongest team in Europe not because of the media hype, but because of the real championship trophies and the amazing record that swept almost all the teams!

As a result, under the influence of this psychology, in addition to the local media in Florence who are still insisting on good things about their own team, the sports media in other parts of Italy have begun to sing the praises of Fiorentina one-sidedly, and turned to cheer for Juventus, and even made some pseudo-fans who do not know the truth mistakenly believe that the strength of the Bianconeri is much stronger than the Purple Lily.

In this way, in the midst of Juventus' constant provocations and Fiorentina's silence, the calendar finally turned to December 20. On this evening, the Stadio Frankie will have its last official match of 1999 against two of the top rivals in Italian football - Juventus the "Bianconeri" and Fiorentina "The Purple Lily"!
