However, it was this short twominute stoppage time that caused Florence to reach the final threshold. At the last minute of the game, the opponent successfully turned over and lost the ticket to the final at the end!
In this way, at the end of the game on the spot, Florence beat Bayern Munich 21 at home, but in the case that the total score of the two rounds was 22, Viola was finally eliminated by Bayern because of the lack of away goals, which sadly ended the 999 Champions League tour!
Chapter 77 Out of influence
At the press conference after the game, reporters of all sizes gathered at the scene with long guns and short guns, hoping that the head coaches of both sides could break something at this press conference so that they could have enough material to write a press release that would attract the attention of fans.
After all, this is the first time that Viola has not entered the Champions League final since Zhuang Ge entered Florence, and it is also the first time in the past five years that it has not entered the three major European Cup finals, and it has directly ruined the team’s four consecutive Champions League titles. I hope it is not a big news.
Although the reporters were very excited and expected to get more things worth breaking at the press conference, they were disappointed that the coaches of the two teams did not cooperate with them.
After the match, Capello and Hitzfeld both acted quite calmly. The former didn’t say anything at the press conference because he was reversed by Bayern at the last minute, and the latter didn’t denounce Capello’s cunning shame because Florence players repeatedly broke their own attack rhythm by some critical tactical fouls in the game. Both coaches praised the opposing players in unison, making the press conference, which many people think should be tense, a harmonious one. I don’t know that the two teams just played a friendly match.
Lei Dongduo and Rui Costa, who were brought to the press conference by Capello and Hitzfeld, are not afraid of being reckless. Although the Argentines are saddened by the team’s loss of a good game, the Portuguese are secretly happy because they led the team to defeat their old club, but they will not make any discordant remarks here under the restraint of the head coach.
Capello and Hitzfeld will show such tacit understanding mainly because the big boss behind them, namely Zhuang Ge and beckenbauer, are so close personally. It is natural for the employees at the bottom to give their boss enough face to avoid making their boss unhappy because of this trivial matter.
In this way, the press conference came to an end after a harmonious competition among a group of journalists.
However, although there was no news after the game, the news that Florence was eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich was enough for all media workers to set off a big wave in European football.
So the next day, when Florence drew 22 with Bayern Munich, the German Bundesliga giant, in the semifinal of the Champions League, it was eliminated by Bayern Munich with fewer away goals. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a super earthquake on the Richter scale in European football!
However, after the shock, the leaders of the major European giants also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, thinking that Florence guys are all earthlings and will lose, not a group of monsters who never lose the key battle.
In this way, it seems that if the head coach of the team can let the handball players give full play to their talents and at the same time, the team’s personnel allocation can reach the due level, then other teams have a chance to beat Florence, instead of being as arrogant as people thought before. Once they are serious, there is no room for other teams to resist.
On the other hand, if Florence really makes it to the Champions League final for four years in a row and wins the final trophy, will other teams still live? Did all the teams work hard for a season just to buy an audience and watch others celebrate Florence on the podium?
If we have to face this cruel reality, the attraction of the European Cup to other teams will drop sharply, which will lead to a series of unpredictable negative effects. After all, no one wants to play the role of accompanying students every year.
At the same time, Florence, especially Zhuang Ge people, realized through the team’s exit that the gap between Viola and other giants is narrowing, and that Florence will be surpassed by other teams sooner or later if they don’t try to strengthen the team.
This is the socalled sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat
It is not a bad thing to say that Florence failed in the Champions League semifinal this time.
Through the performance of the team on all fronts this season, especially against Bayern, the management of Florence understands that the team is not perfect and still needs them to start to strengthen it; Other club have seen that Florence is not a monster who can’t lose through that living example of Bayern Munich, and have reestablish their confidence in winning the Champions League trophy. UEFA, the organizer of the tournament, is even more relieved. Although Florence’s threetime champion has indeed brought a large number of new fans to European football, if Viola continues to win the championship in this way, the Champions League will lose its due appeal because it has been occupied by a certain team for a long time.
There is nothing more terrible for an event than losing its appeal to fans. The lack of fans’ notes means that you can’t get a high broadcast and sponsorship contract. Without these necessary material foundations and fans’ attention, the team naturally lacks the enthusiasm to participate, thus forming a vicious circle.
The most exciting thing is that Juventus and Manchester United have not yet played the second round. After learning that Florence lost, the two teams are gearing up to take advantage of Florence’s exit to reach the final, and then beat Bayern Munich in the final to win back the European Champions Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of European clubs!
Juventus and Manchester United have a small plan in mind, so I won’t go into details here and come back to Florence.
In determining the final of the Champions League, although Serie A will not end in three rounds, it is actually very important for Florence, who has won the Serie A championship in the first three rounds. After all, the results of these three games will not affect their final ranking in the league standings.
For Capello and Fiorentina players, they need to pay attention to the game now that they have been out of the Champions League and won the league. There is only one thing left, that is, the tworound Italian Cup final with Parma!
Chapter 779 Farewell to Sampdoria
It is precisely because Capello didn’t play in the Italian Cup final that he didn’t let the team go into a holiday state before being eliminated by Bayern, but continued to stay in the training ground and actively prepare for the battle after the game. After all, all the people in the Italian football circle know that although Parma has achieved quite good results in the season led by the new coach malesani, the competition for the four crazy champions League is also a strong one, but this team with firstclass stars such as Crespo and Buffon is undoubtedly a very difficult opponent.
By the way, even if Florence doesn’t make it to the final of the Italian Cup, Capello won’t really let the players take a vacation before dissolution on the spot. After all, the league is directly to Florence. If Capello really dares to lead a team to play a threegame losing streak in the last three rounds, don’t say if Zhuang Ge will be furious about it. Florence fans will spare him first!
However, Capello needs to deal with another team before the Italian Cup final with Parma, that is Sampdoria, who is making a final effort to avoid relegation!
The 1999 season was a nightmare for Sampdoria and its fans.
Not to mention whether George W. mantovani’s decision to introduce Ortega to replace the three main midfielders, Veron, Laegeler and Bogosian, was correct last summer, nor did he say that he was highly expected. lee sharp’s performance was that sansini, who had been confirmed to join Argentina, publicly stood up, which dealt a great blow to Sampdoria’s hope and the morale of the players.
It is sansini’s failed transfer that makes many fans realize that Sampdoria is not the powerful team that attracted Seedorf, gullit and other popular stars a few years ago, but a former powerhouse that is about to fall into the abyss.
Although Montera tried to keep scoring goals as before to turn the tide and rebuild the team’s confidence in winning, the Sampdoria top scorer was injured untimely in the season, but it was a fatal blow to the navy, which was in a precarious situation!
Without Montera, Sampdoria completely stopped eating, from losing to Inter Milan in the ninth round of the league to being killed by Rome at home 31 in the 22nd round. Sampdoria didn’t win in three months!
Fourteen league games in a row, the competition in the team is fiercer than history. What does Serie A mean? I believe everyone should be very clear in their hearts …
On May 9th, the 32nd round of Serie A, Sampdoria of last stand took the seat at laris Stadium to meet the Florence challenge.
Because Montera is in good condition after his comeback from injury, he has scored goals continuously. Now Sampdoria is only the second from the bottom in the standings, but there is a gap of four points between the Navy and the fourth from the bottom. If they can make great efforts to win in the last three rounds, maybe they can really perform miracles at the last minute and avoid relegation at the end of the season.
The wish is good, but the reality is cruel. Although Capello made a big rotation of the starting lineup in the Champions League match with Bayern Munich in the middle of the week, the main players were better restored to cope with the first leg of the Italian Cup final in the middle of the week, but Florence led by Pirlo and vieri is still not the team that Sampdoria can deal with now.
In the face of his old club Montera’s performance, it can be said that he was quite good. In the 39th minute, he took Ortega in the ribs of the restricted area and volleyed the team’s first record, continuing his good scoring state after his comeback.
But unfortunately, no matter how brave Montera was in the game, Sampdoria’s cheating defense line always ruined all his efforts from time to time, especially when vieri, a heavy tank, came to power. Sampdoria defenders tried their best to stop the world’s leading powerful center from rampaging in their restricted area.
Only three minutes after Montera’s goal, vieri took Pirlo’s corner kick in the penalty area, tossed his head and scored a goal, making the score even!
Come to laris Stadium with the team to help thousands of Fiorentina fans celebrate vieri’s goal happily in the stands, while Montera is sitting in the frontcourt with his hands akimbo and looking at teammate vieri who is celebrating the goal.
I believe that most people can understand that Montera is in such a mood at the moment that even if Montera incarnates Diego Maradona, it will be difficult to turn the tide.
This goal is just an outbreak in vieri. In the 54th minute, mahdavikia jumped high in the 45degree angle after receiving Pirlo’s point. vieri was directly pushed forward by Sampdoria, sansini and body double, and the Yugoslav central defender Sacic was introduced to a powerful bombing!
It seems to be intimidated by vieri’s momentum, or it may be due to his own lack of ability. Anyway, the goalkeeper in Sampdoria, vieri did not make an effective save, but watched the ball fly into the net in front of the goal.
Two to one! Florence overtook the score!
At one time, the opponents scored two goals to overtake Sampdoria, and the players panicked at the sceneif France scored enough points in this game, they would be at a disadvantage, and they would probably lose before the brutal relegation war!
In the 72nd minute of the game, Florence seized Sampdoria’s opportunity to heavily press the defence. Pirlo’s seemingly careless kick penetrated Sampdoria’s defence line, and vieri’s insertion formed a singlehanded attack against the opposing goalkeeper’s leftfooted volley to score a goal. At the same time, it completely shattered Sampdoria’s last hope of scoring at home!
At the end of the game, Florence beat Sampdoria 31 in the away game, and at the same time, Salenitana unexpectedly captured Cagliari in the away game.
This means that with only two rounds left in the league, Sampdoria ranks fourth from the bottom, and Salenitana’s difference has been widened to more than seven points!
It is precisely because of this that the fans of Sampdoria in the stands of laris Stadium ran away when they heard the news of Salenitana’s victory. They didn’t want to believe that Sampdoria, who had brought them several joys and honors in the past ten years, had already been demoted from Serie A before the end of the League!
Chapter 7 Sampdoria demotion brings ()
Sampdoria’s relegation from Serie A in the first two rounds after losing to Florence at home soon spread all over Italy in the media, making it another heavy news that Florence was eliminated from the Champions League!
Although many people expected that the navy team would get a bad performance this season after being fooled by George W. mantovani, no one could have expected that Sampdoria, who owns stars such as Montera and Ortega, would be demoted at the end of the season.
This is just like Florence’s demotion six years ago! At that time, Viola was also relegated from Serie A at the end of the season with three major foreign AIDS: laudrup Jr., effenberg and batistuta.
If it weren’t for Zhuang Ge’s rescue of Viola Florence fans, I can’t imagine what the team would be like now!
I didn’t expect Sampdoria to follow the footsteps of Florence in a few years, and also took this road of no return.
After all, Sampdoria of Barcelona, a Spanish giants with the name of Dream Team, is wellknown in Italy and all over Europe, having successfully won a league championship trophy in the top three teams in the North and Napoli, and even almost won it in the first Champions League trip.
It is precisely because of this that after Sampdoria’s demotion from Serie A, many fans missed the absolute beauty gold Sampdoria led by Viali and Mancini. At the same time, they still despised paolo mantovani’s mantovani, his successor in Sampdoria. How can this product turn that gold Sampdoria, which can wrestle with the top giants, into this miserable situation in just a few years?
So after Sampdoria’s demotion, a largescale fan demonstration broke out in Genoa, and 10,000 Sampdoria fans gathered at the gate of the club to ask mantovani Jr. to take the blame and resign, hand over the management and shares of the club, and let a reliable person manage the team and bring Sampdoria to the right track!
For the fans, Sampdoria’s parade is naturally something that makes them feel anxious, while for other teams, Sampdoria’s demotion is a good thing, because once a team is demoted like this, it often sells some team backbones at low prices because it can’t bear the high expenses and pressure from players.
This also means that there will be a lot of highquality players with good quality and low price in the transfer market, and other teams can take this opportunity to carve up these resources so as to reinforce the team at the most costeffective price!
In the long history of European football, such cases abound. Naturally, Florence and Nottingham Forest were relegated in 1993. At that time, Viola sold almost all the firstteam players except Batty and effenberg, and Nottingham Forest also lost a large number of backbones. The most famous one is now Manchester United captain Irish man of iron roy keane.
This is not the end of the league, but the old fox has already extended his claws to Sampdoria. His goal is naturally Sampdoria’s top striker Vincenzo Montella!
