After knocking Palermo out of the Coppa Italia, the Fiorentina players didn't get much respite and will need to get back to their home camp before the weekend to be able to continue playing for the Purple Lily.
On October 30, Fiorentina at the Stade Franky beat the visiting Torino team 3-1 to the cheers of more than 40,000 home fans. The red bull, which had a brief resurgence in the early 90s, was relapsed after the departures of Lentini and Enzo Cifoe, and is no longer the runners-up of the UEFA Cup, but a club that frequently travels between Serie A and Serie B.
After a no-brainer win over Torino, Fiorentina welcomed the second leg of the Champions League group stage against Galatasaray in the following week.
By the way, before going to Italy, Galatasaray Club sent a letter to Fiorentina, which naturally hoped that Fiorentina could restrain their fans so that something unpleasant would happen before the game started, causing unnecessary losses to both sides, such as Fiorentina also suffering a home ban or something......
Although Galatasaray's choice of words in the letter was quite rude, Zhuang Mingge was very dissatisfied with this kind of behavior of the Turks, and he also thought about taking this opportunity to retaliate against the other party. After all, according to Galatasaray, don't these Turks think that the vegetarian of the Fiorentina fans is no different from the football ** on their side?
But in the end, Zhuang Mingge still pinched his nose and agreed to Galatasaray's request, after all, there were examples of Galatasaray being heavily punished, and if Fiorentina really committed a crime, even if there was a big-name ally like the football emperor, he would not be able to protect him. What's more, the UEFA headquarters is not far from Florence, once there is any trouble, then UEFA will definitely get the news as soon as possible, and with the prestige and status of the purple lily in European football, if they really did something that did not conform to the demeanor of the giants before the game, then Florence's reputation would be completely ruined.
Therefore, due to the above considerations, Zhuang Mingge had to make a gesture to tell the supporters of the sù team in this way not to fall for the tricks of these Turks who can only play clever, so that the team will fall into a passive situation in public opinion; Moreover, Zhuang Mingge wanted to use this to let the Turks know that without these unruly tricks, Florence could still defeat Galatasaray!
However, although he verbally agreed to Galatasaray's rude request, how could the cautious Zhuang Mingge let go of the great opportunity to retaliate against the other party? So, after replying to Galatasaray, Zhuang Mingge immediately sent someone to take a photo of the letter and sent the photo to professional sports media such as Milan Sports Newspaper.
And just like that, when the people of Italy saw this rather provocative letter from Galatasaray in the newspapers the next day, the whole Apennine Peninsula was boiling! All Italians, whether they were Fiorentina fans or not, turned their guns at this time without exception and showed full support for Fiorentina!
Damn, when our players were besieged by your shameless fans, why didn't you Galatasaray FC stand up and say a word of justice? is still fanning the wind on the side and lighting the ghost fire to help the abuse, and now to play on our turf, he still dares to pretend that the uncle wants us to show the so-called wealthy demeanor, how can there be such a cheap thing! This is the first sentence that pops into the mind of all Italians when they see the specific contents of this letter.
However, although in my heart I am full of contempt and shame for this kind of behavior of Galatasaray FC, I have to say that the overall Suzhì of Fiorentina fans is still very passable. At least when Trim walked out of the airport with Galatasaray's players, the Florentines didn't have rotten leaves and tomatoes to entertain them.
At the same time, in terms of field adaptation training and accommodation, Florence did not deliberately set up any obstacles for Galatasaray from afar, and even when it was late and the sun was sinking, someone would ask them if they needed to turn on the lights for a night battle.
All in all, after the first day of arriving at Fiorentina, many Galatasaray players are starting to feel a little embarrassed. After all, they also know a little about the treatment they suffered when they visited Istanbul last time, especially after this stark contrast, even if they are as thick-skinned as they are, they will feel a little unbearable on their faces.
However, this does not mean that Zhuang Mingge wants to be a saint who repays his grievances with virtue, he is not so noble because he is a little cautious, and he will let people continue to slap him after others have slapped him. The reason why he did not choose to make things difficult for Galatasaray was mainly because it was the easiest to be caught and dealt with in these aspects, and Florence's reputation would be a big blow at that time.
For a big club, reputation is actually very important. The best example is the Barcelona known as the Cosmos team, after being eliminated by Inter Milan in the Champions Cup, Barcelona brazenly turned on the sprinkler device on the stadium, pouring the Nerazzurri who were celebrating on the heart, and making Barcelona the object of ridicule by the world.
Otherwise, Zhuang Mingge would definitely arrange for someone to put all the people who Galatasaray came to Italy this time in sacks and beat them, and then threw them into the Adriatic Sea to let out a bad breath.
Although it could not be done explicitly, this did not prevent Zhuang Mingge from launching an offensive against Galatasaray on other battlefields. In the past half month, he and Groz Jr. have teamed up to turn Turkey's domestic stock market upside down, with Galatasaray's share price plummeting by nearly 30% in just two weeks, forcing the Turkish giants to turn to a higher authority, Galatasaray Sports Club, to survive the financial difficulties caused by the stock price crash. At the same time, the Turkish giants have also started taking loans from banks to pay for the high wages of stars such as Haji.
The club's financial crisis naturally affected the mood of the players, after all, the main reason for the likes of Haji and Popescu to run to the Turkish league at this age was to earn a good pension, so when the team was in trouble, they must be the first players to want to flee from Istanbul.
And just like that, the Galatasaray players, who had been disrupted in another way, stepped onto the Stadio Frankie with a heavy heart to challenge their strongest opponent in Group B, the super-giants Fiorentina.
