Chapter 235: Before the Winter Break (4)

It is customary to ask for a recommendation vote at the beginning, and thank you very much for the tips and evaluation votes of all readers......

Before the start of the fifteenth round of matches, let's take a look at the current standings of the Serie A standings.

Sampdoria, who have undergone a major summer overhaul, have been in very good form of late, and after a long period of pain, they have won three and lost one of the last four league games to get nine points, which is second only to Fiorentina who have won all four games. Among them, the Sea Blues even defeated Juventus, who have three former Samp players including Vialli, Lombardo, and Jugovic, 2-0! Sampdoria currently sit seventh in the table with 20 points, and behind them is Inter Milan, who have suffered three consecutive defeats after a change of manager.

Lazio have also been underperforming, with the Czechs' side having been unusually weak lately, losing to Vicenza, AC Milan and Parma, and beating Sampdoria in just one goal shootout in the round of fourteen, with the Blues slipping to a tie for fourth in the league, along with the Bianconeri managed by Silver Fox Lippi, who also picked up 22 points.

Roma has steadily improved under the tutelage of the old coach Mazzoni, with five wins, six draws and three losses and 21 points ranking sixth in the league is enough to satisfy the club's top management, after all, the old Sensi does not yet have the capital to compete with the top three in the north, and now he is still planning how to make the Roma club listed on the stock exchange to get more liquidity.

Parma are third in the league, but a full 10 points away from the top of the table is enough for them to give up their desire for the league title this season, although Serie A is only halfway past now. In a small gathering, Zhuang Mingge heard Francesca Tanzi inadvertently mention that Parma's ruler Old Tanzi seems to be dissatisfied with the team's meritorious coach Scala's performance this season, thinking that the coach is no longer capable of continuing to lead Parma to further progress, and listening to Francesca's statement, the new coach seems to be very optimistic about a former Italian national team player, and intends to appoint him as Parma's head coach after the release of his work contract with Scala as soon as the season ends.

As for Francesca's statement, Zhuang Mingge, who is a traverser, naturally knows that he has not played Ancelotti's idea, but the 36-year-old An Fat is only a head coach who leads the second division team Reggiana to impact the first division, and he can't convince these players of Florence from the experience of leading the team and personal qualifications.

Fiorentina, who have won 11 games, drawn 1 and lost 2 in 14 league games, are naturally in first place in the standings, followed by Berlusconi's Rossoneri, but the gap between them and Fiorentina at the top of the table is no longer one point a month ago, but has widened to a full five! This means that even if Fiorentina misses the game against AC Milan, it will not waver in the pace of the Purple Lily to win the honor of "Winter Champion".

In this situation, Fiorentina welcomed this year's official match in Zuihou just two days before Christmas.

The current AC Milan team is much stronger than the one in the same period in history, after all, the favorite Baggio was "robbed" from Juventus in advance by Zhuang Mingge, and the team's performance last season also proved that Milan has now reached the rebuilding period of the old and the new, so Berlusconi, who is still enthusiastic enough about investing in football, threw money at it, first from Ajax with high salaries and the name of the "Dutch Three Musketeers" to get Kluivert and Reziger, Then he spent a lot of money on Liberian striker George Weah from Paris Saint-Germain, and with the addition of Marco Simeone, the Milanese created a formidable forward line that was not inferior to Fiorentina.

Moreover, under the policy of gold medal coach Capello's "carrot and stick", Kluivert did not show too much of a free and casual style this year, but honestly trained and competed under the guidance of this famous coach, so his cooperation with Weah has also become more and more perfect. At the same time, the team did not have Baggio, who Capello did not want to see, which reduced unnecessary internal friction, which also made the atmosphere of the Milan team a lot better.

In terms of midfield, Savčevic, Boban and Albertini are all masters, Frenchman Desailly provides defense and hardness for AC Milan's midfield, Donadoni is 32 years old, but his style on the wing is still undiminished, it can be said that the Rossoneri's midfield is not inferior to Fiorentina's.

AC Milan's biggest weakness is the once-proud Golden Defence, which has been severely deteriorating since last season. The full-backs are saying that despite Tasottti's age, Maldini on the left, Panucci and Reziger on the right are all guarantees for Milan's full-backs for the next five years. The key lies in Milan's central defender, the 29-year-old Costacuta's competitive form began to decline sharply after the Shijie Cup in the United States, and the continuous low-level mistakes make it difficult to associate him with the previous central defender with the title of "iron plaster"; The veteran captain Baresi is 35 years old, and even his substitute Philippe Ghali is 34 years old, and it is an indisputable fact that their competitive form has declined at such an advanced age; Therefore, for the current AC Milan, the defense has become their biggest weakness, after all, there are many more excellent attackers than defensive players born in football every year, and outstanding central defenders are even rarer.

"Have you remembered my arrangement?" On December 23, in the dressing room of Florence, Ranieri asked with a serious face.

"We've all taken it to heart, sir, don't worry!" It was Effenberg who spoke, and he replied with a serious face, "After all, it's Christmas two days after this game, and none of us want to spend this holiday with a loss, don't you think?!" ”

"That's right!" ×N

Ranieri was a little nervous to see the players so motivated, and he was really afraid that the players would lose concentration in the game because they were in a hurry to go home for Christmas, but now it seems that the professionalism of the players in the team is enough to make them take their demands seriously.

"Everyone's attention, our boss told me that if this game can be won......" The tinkerer thought about it and threw a bombshell to boost the morale of the players, "He will give each first-team player a big Christmas gift on Christmas Day~"

"Oh!" At Ranieri's instigation, the Fiorentina players shouted together and rushed out of the dressing room with high morale to welcome a big battle before Christmas!
