The fact that the disintegration and reconstruction of Inter Milan was inevitable made Zhuang Mingge, who had received the news a step too late, feel even more annoyed. Because the Nerazzurri are Fiorentina's important allies in Italy, if Inter Milan falls into turmoil and their voice in Italian football declines, it will also be a big blow to Fiorentina.
However, although he was very annoyed by Boss Mo's reckless decision, Zhuang Mingge knew that it was impossible for everything to be satisfactory in this world. Anyone can turn the same way without the earth, life should still be passed, and he has no reason to dissuade Moratti from firing his own head coach, so he can only silently wish Inter Milan better luck in this life in his heart, and stop looking for Lippi's pit......
After talking about Inter Milan, the topic returned to Fiorentina.
Capello gave his players a day off after the home win over Piacenza, which was a good time to consider how Fiorentina should cope with the next Champions League quarter-finals.
However, before heading into the Champions League, Fiorentina will have to face a call-up from various national teams, as the time has come for another international break.
So, under the call of the national team managers, the players packed their bags and left the club to report to their respective national teams.
I don't know if it's considering that Florence's third-line battle is too hard, anyway, the old Maldini, who has always had a good impression of the purple lily, did not recruit Florence's players as aggressively as before. This time, the veteran coach only recruited Nesta and Vieri, two players who are indispensable to his tactical system, into the squad of this year's Italian national team, and other players like Toldo, Zambrotta and others did not get his call-up.
Regarding this "special treatment" received by Fiorentina, AC Milan's Galliani and Juventus' Moggi expressed strong dissatisfaction with the reporters who came to interview on the day after the national team squad was announced. The two, who have perfected their skills in thick black, believe that the elder Maldini should be the same when selecting international players, and should not be partial in this regard.
Although these two made the same move, but the reasons are different, Moggi is because Juventus has been selected a lot of players this time, so seeing that the sworn enemy Fiorentina only Nesta and Vieri are selected, his heart is naturally very unbalanced; AC Milan, who are also only Maldini and Albertini in the national team squad, will play against "their own people" Maldini Sr. this time, because Galliani wants to see Fiorentina's players affected by the FIFA virus, so that the Rossoneri have a greater chance of turning the tables.
It can be seen that even when it comes to the national team, the battle between clubs will not stop.
However, the elder Maldini simply ignored the accusations of Galliani and Moggi, and with a World Cup title, the veteran coach was recognized and loved by almost all Italians. Therefore, as long as Italy's record can be guaranteed, no matter what decision Lao Ma makes now, it will not be opposed by many people.
Suffice it to say, Maldini Sr.'s situation now is similar to that of Sacchi more than four years ago, when he relied on a World Cup runner-up title to ostracize dissidents from the national team, excluding the likes of Roberto Baggio and Pagliuca. But at that time, people only verbally protested or pleaded, and did not really make any substantive moves.
Especially when Maldini Sr. led the team to defeat Denmark and Belarus in the European Championship qualifiers, leading Italy to win all four games in Group A and firmly top the group, the chattering Galliani and Moggi also kept their mouths shut. Because they finally realized that it was a very unwise thing to quarrel with the old Maldini who was in high prostitution.
After the national team competition, the Champions Cup was rekindled. This time, Fiorentina's opponent in the quarterfinals was the super dark horse of La Liga giants Real Madrid, Dynamo Kiev from Ukraine, who defeated La Liga giants Real Madrid with an aggregate score of 3-1 in the quarterfinals!
"I didn't expect to really let Tony say yes, the strength of the team of Dynamo Kyiv is really strong, and it was able to completely suppress Real Madrid in the two-legged game!" In the villa in Florence, little Groz said to Zhuang Mingge with an admiring expression, "That Ukrainian striker named Andrei Shevchenko is really a talented player, and without his savings, Dynamo Kyiv probably wouldn't have been able to kill Real Madrid so easily." ”
"Shevchenko's outstanding performance is indeed Dynamo Kyiv, but I think the biggest credit is still their manager, Mr. Lobanovsky." Zhuang Mingge clearly knows that although the Kyiv Dynamo team in front of him looks majestic, in fact, the only players in their team who finally broke into the European football world are Shevchenko and Karadze, and other famous hopefuls such as Luzny, Rebrov, Kossovsky and so on are all in the end.
Bad luck was part of the reason why these players didn't make it to the end up, but why was it that under Lobanovski, these players, who were later regarded as parallel commodities by the fans, were able to burst out with amazing energy?
What's more, with the advent of the Boseman era, high-level player resources continue to be concentrated in the giant clubs, and the current European football is no longer an era when a first-class star can lead the team to strive for good results. Without a proper tactical system and a great manager, it would be a fool's dream to compete for the title!
Therefore, Dynamo Kyiv can achieve its current results, and its head coach Lobanovsky can be said to have contributed a lot.
For Zhuang Mingge's admiration for Lobanovsky, Karin and Little Groz are naturally well understood. However, for such a well-respected team manager, but due to physical reasons, it is no longer possible to coach in the top flight, the two obviously still lack some interest in paying attention.
The reason why Groz Jr. has an eye on Dynamo Kyiv is because Fiorentina are against this team in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, otherwise she would not bother to pay attention to a Ukrainian club that she has never heard of.
Karin, on the other hand, is more concerned about the current situation of the team, and she knows that Fiorentina is facing a lack of immediate combat power on all fronts, so this group of players like Lobanovski, especially Shevchenko and Kaladze, who are close to the finished product, are simply a hearty and delicious meal for the current Purple Lily!
