Chapter 54: The Iron Cavalry of Eastern Europe

In recent seasons, with the rise of the Shakhtar team, even the hegemony of the old Ukrainian powerhouse Dynamo Kiev has been lost, and the appetite of the fans is naturally getting bigger and bigger.

"The Brazilian mongrel who betrayed his homeland can only be powerful in Italy, and if he wants to defeat the powerful miners, he doesn't have the ability to do so!"

"He's the number one striker in shijie football? It's a joke, all he can do is deal with the bad defences of the bad teams, and Ziglinski will show him what it means to be in football with blood and fire. ”

"The Shakhtars will win, Brazilian clowns get home!"

"Zuihou's victory will definitely belong to Shakhtar, Fiorentina will be beaten to the head at our home stadium!"

Before the game started, because of Degan's words, there was a strong smell of gunpowder, and Prandley could feel that this game was not going to be good.

Prandelli also wants to advise Degan to keep quiet before the game in the future, because Degan's restlessness will make Fiorentina a team that will be a professional hate team.

But before Prandley could speak, after arriving in Ukraine, when he was interviewed by reporters, he said: "The dog that bites doesn't bark!" ”

Depend on!

This sentence literally ignited a powder keg of super-big sparks, and in an instant the entire Donetsk was about to explode, football was elevated to the first place, and that night, when the Fiorentina players rested, their hotel was surrounded by angry Shakhtar fans.

The silence of the night was broken in an instant, the noise outside the hotel, the cursing, the noise made people unable to sleep at all, the club staff in Florence quickly contacted the hotel, but the reply was that there was a rock concert going on downstairs!

Dog day!

"What is the reason, my players need to rest, as the hotel side, you have an obligation to guarantee our legitimate interests during the hotel period!"

Prandley was furious and found the energy of the hotel, and the noise outside, and the sudden sound of music, almost blew his head open.

Through the translation, the hotel manager said innocently: "I'm sorry, Mr. coach, Ukraine is a free country, we have no right to interfere with people's normal entertainment, this is a rock concert, maybe their music affects you and your team members' rest, but I don't think this concert will last too long, when the concert is over, you will get plenty of rest, of course, as a way of apology, we will waive part of the cost of your stay in the hotel!" ”

Listening to the hotel manager's strong words, Prandelli understood that they had fallen into the wolf's den, originally in order to prepare for this game, Prandelli also let the team set off in advance to get familiar with the environment in Donetsk, and now it seems that it is a bad move.

It is said that Turkish fans are unreasonable, no matter which team's home stadium is hell, and now it seems that Ukraine is not far behind, and these Eastern European GIs are not bad at all for football fanaticism.

In the hotel room, Degan lay on the bed, his face calm, as if the noise outside had no effect on him, and he would fall asleep at any time.

Montolivo, who shared a room with him, was not so lucky, lying in front of the window, watching the crowd downstairs spreading joy and tossing and tossing, Montolivo felt like he was about to go crazy.

"Rod! We should find a way to quiet them! ”

Degan still closed his eyes and said indifferently: "What can we do, can we go down with a submachine gun and drive them all out?" Don't kill! Ricardo! This is the territory of the Ukrainians, everything they do here is justified! ”

Montolivo snorted angrily and said: "Damn Ukrainians, when they go to Florence, I will call on the Italian government to conduct a military exercise where they live and see who is powerful!" ”

Degan was also amused by Montolivo's statement: "Ricardo! I think you'd better recruit a bunch of beauties and make them weak, so you can get revenge! ”

When Montolivo heard this, he muttered, "That's too cheap for them!" ”

"That's it! Ricardo! Go to sleep! If you can be like me and not take everything out there seriously, you'll be able to sleep! ”

Although Degan said it easily, but his heart was not like this, he had already been angry by those rotten people outside, but he also knew that he couldn't stop all this, the small means of Shakhtar Donetsk's fans were really infuriating, but Deegan didn't think about waiting until they were at home, drawing gourds like this, and if they wanted to defeat each other, the most decent way was to speak with strength on the field.

In the end, under Prandelli's constant protests, the hotel manager still chose to call the police, Ukraine is indeed not free enough to be unscrupulous, the police quickly dispersed the crowd, Shijie finally quiet, the Fiorentina players who had been tossed for a long time were already exhausted, but just fell asleep, and were awakened by a burst of firecrackers downstairs, and suddenly fell asleep.

The players looked at each other with wry smiles written all over their faces!

These Ukrainians are really going to be weird!

The next morning, the Fiorentina players all had dark circles under their eyes, and their faces were full of sleepiness, which made Prandelli and his coaching staff frown again and again.

Zuihou discussed, and Prandelli could only reluctantly announce that he would cancel the morning training and let the players go back to make up for sleep, otherwise, there would be no need to wait for the game, and the players would be trapped by the toss in the past two days.

"What now?" With a grimace on his face, Prandley gathered the members of the coaching staff and Deegan together to discuss a solution.

Degan is the most energetic of all people, he was born with a big heart, to put it bluntly, he has no heart and no lungs, and he was not affected at all after the excitement last night.

Deegan was also aware of the seriousness of the problem, and it was clear that his teammates were not as generous as he was, and they were all tossed and choked last night.

"Let's let the club step in! Negotiate with the other party to settle it, I don't think they will be shameless to this point, hoping for this means to win the game! ”

Prandley also knew that this was the only solution.

Fiorentina FC immediately protested to Shakhtar Donetsk, fortunately, the Ukrainians are really not shameless to that point, the fans' behavior last night, to put it bluntly, was to retaliate against Degan's arrogance, after receiving the protest from the Fiorentina club, Shakhtar Donetsk did not say anything like "that is the personal behavior of the fans", but the president of the club, Akmetov, personally stood up and immediately called on the fans to stay calm, they can defeat their opponents on the field, and stop engaging in these small tricks, Influence the image of Ukrainian football.

The club spoke, and the fans naturally settled down, you must know that with the rise of the Don Tweezers miners, Akmetov's influence among the fans is not something that ordinary people can imagine, basically he can be compared to the Holy Decree when he says a word.

Shijie was quiet, and after a solid day of rest, it was time for the game, and although the sleep problem was solved, it was tossed all night, and it was impossible to say that there was no effect.

But it has come to this, and it is useless to say anything more.

The first time they arrived at the Donbass Stadium, the Fiorentina players felt as if they were hillbillies in a big city, compared to the Fraki Stadium, this is simply a paradise, a player's dream venue, but unfortunately, this is not Fiorentina's home stadium.

The stadium, which cost more than 200 million euros, is one of the best in Europe.

"This stadium is awesome!"

Montolivo, who vowed yesterday to make Ukrainians look good, instantly adjusted the mode of hatred to worship.

The Donbass stadium is really great, the standard is the highest in Europe in all aspects, especially the lawn, compared to here, the Vlaki stadium was originally a good field situation, it has become a rotten vegetable field.

But this is also a helpless thing, all the stadium ownership in Italy belongs to the local municipal government, and each club can only rent, and Italian law clearly stipulates that no club can build a stadium privately, even if Delawa is rich, Fiorentina wants to have a home stadium of its own, it is impossible.

Degan now suddenly discovers that the rise of Shakhtar Donetsk in the future is not completely unreasonable, with a rich, knowledgeable and passionate club president, and fanatical fans, as well as very good hardware in all aspects, if Shakhtar Donetsk can't rise, it can only be their own problem.

Although Digan has been constantly asking his teammates to be more careful with the first opponent of the Champions League group stage, but now after seeing the tip of the iceberg of Shakhtar Donetsk, the alarm in his heart has instantly risen several levels.

After a simple warm-up, Prandley summoned the players to the locker room, tactical training or something is not good, who knows how many opposing intelligence officers there are, in case the game has not started, his side has explained all the old bottoms, Prandley has no place to cry.

As soon as Fiorentina left, the Shakhtar players arrived, and the current team has many players who will become popular in the future, such as Srna, Ziglinski, Lewandowski, Fernandinho, Willian and, of course, Lucarelli from Italy!

The Ukrainian league started a little later, so this Champions League group stage will be Shakhtar Donetsk's first official game of the season.

Degan deliberately fell behind, looking at the Shakhtar players who were warming up on the field, I have to say that this Eastern European powerhouse is indeed very distinctive, except for a few Brazilian foreign aids, the other players are tall and tall.

This team may still be unknown at the moment, but it will make the whole European football world look sideways in the future, and the old powerhouse in Ukraine, Dynamo Kyiv, has been picked out by them, which shows the strength of this team.

Deegan left before he could get the attention of the Shakhtars' coaching staff, he didn't want to be used as a spy, and he had always had a knack for dealing with this kind of liliang-type team.

in the locker room.

Prandelli was making a pre-match tactical set-up, and this time he sent a new combination at the back, with Ranocchia, who had played two league games in a row, giving way to Oujfarusi and Thiago. Silva formed a centre-back pairing, with Pascual and Abate as the two wing-backs. Obviously, Prandelli is going to make a big fuss on both flanks in this game.

In midfield, Prandelli still sent three midfielders, but surprisingly, Prandelli won Modric, who had been performing well in the previous game, and replaced him with the powerful beast Marcena, who was partnered with Motta and Ledesma.

"Carlos! In this game, you will be the key to our victory! ”

Since moving to Fiorentina, Marchena's situation is far worse than that of his Spanish fellow Arteta, although Arteta has not been able to get the main position, but he is an important rotation player for the team, and Marchena has not started except for the second round of the Champions League qualifying match with Feyenoord, who has been a substitute.

Hearing that this game would actually be the main force, Marchena's heart was also excited, but after listening to Prandelli's tactics, he was a little puzzled.

Prandelli looked at Marchena and smiled, "What? Carlos! Don't you have faith? ”

Not confident?

Are you kidding!

At this time, even if you have to bite the bullet, you have to go on: "No! Instructor! I think I can do a good job! ”

Prandley smiled and continued, "Good! Next up front is Montolivo! Ricardo! Your task in this game is also very heavy, I don't need you to execute a pass of zuihou, you can play at will after getting the ball, I give you absolute freedom, your task is to disrupt the opponent's defensive deployment! ”

After that, it's the striker, and in this game, Prandley actually sent two strong center forwards, Digan and Kavenagi, and it is clear that Prandley is planning to fight with Shakhtar Donetsk.

"That's it! Lads! Still have any questions? If not, get on the pitch and enjoy the game, it's Fiorentina's first game since returning to the Champions League and I hope to have a good result! Repay those who support you with a victory! ”
