Volume 1 Chapter 456 Ban
Fiorentina and Juventus players got on the verge of a post-match brawl and the managers of the two teams pointed fingers at each other in their post-match press conference.
Due to the need to change his glasses, Capello came a little late, so Prandelli waited in the press conference hall for six or seven minutes, which made Prandelli a little unhappy, when Capello spoke, the iron-blooded marshal pointed the finger at Fiorentina for fouling rudeness, provoking Juventus fans and players, and implied that Prandelli was suspected of instigating players to deliberately provoke.
Prandelli's temper is also good, but after a hard kill and a group fight today, his emotions have obviously not calmed down, and when it was his turn to speak, Prandley directly launched a counterattack.
"Who's rougher, who's fouled more, those who watched this game know best, we have two players who are injured, Jorgensen won't be able to play for at least two weeks, do the Juventus players have injuries? As for the provocation, it's even more of a joke, first of all, the Juventus fans booed our players before Pasquier fought back, and if Vieira hadn't been involved, it would have ended here, but Vieira bullied our young players and pointed his finger at Pasquier's nose, should we just stand there and be angry?
"Well, if you want to talk about fan provocation, is there a more brutal fan than Fiorentina, Vieira has been subjected to racist attacks during the game, doesn't anyone see that? After the game, Vieira negotiated with the young player, although Vieira was not polite enough, but it was just an exchange, if there was no Chen forcibly intervening, there would definitely be no group fights behind, it can be said that most of the responsibility for the incident is on Fiorentina. ”
Capello is also a well-trained manager, but today, like Prandelli, was mad at today's game and the group fight, and the victory or defeat of a game may not be nothing, but so many people participate in the group fight, the Italian Football Federation will definitely ban the player, which is likely to affect the later games, which is fatal to Juventus.
Prandley sneered: "Most of the blame is on us, it's a joke, if our players don't try to be patient, the two sides will fight in the game." We were very restrained in the game and I'm very proud of them. ”
Capello laughed angrily, "I'm so proud of the players who are fighting, I finally understand what the Fiorentina players and fans are thinking about, what kind of coach there is, what kind of player." ”
Prandley continued to sneer: "Yes, I am not a gold medal coach, I have not won the championship, and the disciples I brought out are not bad, but it is really surprising that a championship-level coach can bring out such a player." ”
Capello said angrily: "Aren't you all forcing this? ”
Prandelli said: "I remember just now you said that if Chen can't pass, there will be no fighting, so why can't your players swallow their anger." ”
Capello was a little annoyed by Prandelli's squeezing, and he slammed the table and stood up, "When have I ever said such a thing, don't spew blood." A gentleman does not stir up trouble and then put the blame on someone else. ”
Prandley snorted coldly, "A gentleman will not say anything and not admit it." ”
Capello is not a person who is good at bickering, and he was continuously run by Prandelli but was unable to refute it, which made him feel very annoyed, "Well, since you are so unreasonable, we have nothing to say, who is more responsible, let the Football Association decide." ”
After saying that, Capello walked out of the hall angrily, and did not intend to give reporters a chance to ask questions.
But Prandelli didn't mean to shut up, and still said coldly at Capello's back: "Of course you have to rule by the Football Association, you are giants, even the referee listens to you, do you still need to be responsible." ”
Hearing Prandelli's words, Capello paused, but did not look back, and strode out of the press conference hall.
Having lost his opponent and thinking that the ban would soon come, Prandelli was also in high spirits, and hurriedly left the press conference hall after a few words to the reporter.
After a hard-fought battle in the 14th round, Fiorentina beat Juventus at the last moment to climb to the top of the standings by one point, and AC Milan lost away and were defeated by Chievol the donkey. The gap to the top of the table has narrowed to six points, and they are just a few points away from second-placed Juventus. And Inter Milan, who beat promoted Ascoli at home, finally stopped the points gap between the top three and the top of the table, and the point difference with Juventus became ll points, only 9 points away from AC Milan, once the next Milan derby is won, Inter Milan even hopes to ignite the flame of hope for the title again.
Fiorentina's defeat of Juventus in a sense made the Serie A title race more exciting and intense, because
According to the statistics of Torino Sport, Capello's coaching career, whether at AC Milan, Real Madrid, Roma or Juventus, all his teams won the league title that season before Christmas (with the exception of Roma in 0304). If Juventus beat Fiorentina, they will leave Fiorentina five points behind and Milan two off eight and 14 points, so to speak, without Chen Yu's last blow, Juventus will lock up the Christmas title and destroy the suspense of the Serie A title.
Now, the gap between the top and third place Milan is two games, with AC Milan's strong heritage, there is a high possibility of catching up in the second half, and last season's wonderful "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" may continue to be staged this season.
After this round, the two Milans will play a Milan derby in the 15th round, while Fiorentina and Juventus can sit back and watch the tiger fight and wait for the fisherman to win. Because as long as Fiorentina and Juventus can get the win, they will be happy no matter what the Milan derby does.
Of course, Fiorentina and Juventus also encountered problems, because the players of Fiorentina and Juventus fought after the game, and the Italian Football Federation has conducted an investigation, although the results will not come out until after the investigation, but according to past experience, there is also Parma midfielder Mofeo who was banned for five games, indicating that this season's Football Association treats this aspect of the punishment is quite severe.
Juventus is strong, and the substitute players can also cope with Serie A, the impact of this ban on them is not too big, but Fiorentina's main players are so many, the gap between the substitute and the main force is very large, and the impact of the ban on them is definitely very dangerous, fortunately, in the next few rounds, Fiorentina's opponents are not strong, like Treviso, Empoli, Regina, these are relegation teams, even if Chen Yu and Pasquel are banned, Fiorentina can deal with it.
It's just that in Florence's plan, playing these teams was used to grab points and get rid of opponents, but now they can not be caught up by their opponents, and Fiorentina is very happy.
In the subsequent public opinion, many media thought that Chen Yu's performance that day was too impulsive, Fiorentina was in a very advantageous position in the league, if Chen Yu, Tony, Pasquier and others were punished, Fiorentina's upward momentum is likely to end, and ultimately affect Fiorentina's goal of winning the championship this year.
Subsequently, Fiorentina also punished the players who participated in the group fight, mainly fines, but the number of fines was not announced, after the excitement of the victory, Fiorentina players also fell into self-blame and regret, such a state must be difficult to have any good performance in the Champions League group stage in midweek, at the Camp Nou, Fiorentina was beaten by Barcelona, and finally lost with a score of 4, but also gave up the first place in the group.
After the end of the Champions League group stage, the results of the investigation of the Italian Football Association also came out, Pasquel, who provoked the incident, Chen Yu, Vieira, who took the lead in the fight, were each banned for five games and fined 30,000 euros, Montolivo, Ibrahimovic, and Fiore who participated in the fight were banned for three games and fined 10,000 euros, and other players involved such as Toni, Zambrotta and others were only fined 10,000 euros and were not banned.
Such a result is a heavy loss for Fiorentina, they have two more banned than Juventus, and they are the absolute main force of the team, especially Chen Yu, that is simply the soul of the team, without Chen Yu Fiorentina will play what kind of results is difficult to predict, and Chen Yu will be banned for five games at once, if Juventus and Milan seize the opportunity, it is likely to catch up and throw Fiorentina away.
In this regard, Fiorentina decided to appeal, mainly in the hope of commuting Chen Yu's sentence, because Chen Yu did not take the initiative to provoke the incident, nor was he the first to do it, and the punishment of Chen Yu's five-game ban was a bit large, and he also participated in group fighting, but Juventus was banned by two fewer players than Fiorentina, and Fiorentina thought it was also unfair.
In fact, after the Italian Football Association made a verdict, there are almost no successful cases of appeal, but Fiorentina must try for this, even if the number of bans will not be reduced, as long as the number of games banned by Chen Yu can be reduced, even if it is a reduction of one, this is a huge victory, in the past three years, Florence's dependence on Chen Yu is too great, whether it is a fan player or a coach, they can't accept a game without Chen Yu, it can be said that even Tony can't fill the vacuum of Chen Yu's absence.
