August 4, 2003, for many people, this is just an ordinary day. But for all the fans who love football, it is a great day that they will never forget! Because on this day, Fernando Redondo and Stefan Effenberg, the two superstars who led Fiorentina to rule the European football world throughout the mid-to-late 1990s, will officially announce the end of their extremely brilliant career tonight!

This means that this farewell match held at Frankie Stadium tonight will be the last game of Redondo and Effenberg's career! From now on, if fans want to see the two galloping on the stadium again, they can only look for the heroic postures that have brought them from TV videos and online videos.

Of course, if you have the chance, fans may still be able to see them in the retired star team that is still in the preparatory stage. However, for most European fans, it is probably not easy to see the team's game on site. Because with Zhuang Mingge's recommendation, Redondo arranged the Star United's itinerary in Asia, mainly in East Asia and West Asia. After all, unlike the rigorous European League, the football level in these two regions is relatively weak, and local fans are also very willing to buy the accounts of these stars and are willing to take out the money in their pockets for them. In European countries, most fans have a heart. Redondo and their chances of making money in Europe relying on the popularity accumulated by their players' age are not high.

The gap here can be seen from the fact that the Galaxy Battleships made a lot of money in their previous Asian tours, but it can be seen that it has not been recorded in several warm-up matches in Europe during the same period.

What's more, Redondo and his team went to Asia to play games will also help Fiorentina develop the Asian market, allowing more fans to support Purple Lily, rather than becoming fans of other giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona. After all, the Fiorentine imprint on Redondo and Effenberg is too strong. Even if the two have retired, when people mention them, the first thing they think of is how majestic they are when they wear Fiorentine robes.

Since Redondo and Effenberg are both considered to be the superstars of the international football world, and Fiorentina's important position in European football, there are naturally many big stars who came to help this farewell match. For example, FIFA President Johnson, UEFA President Beckenbauer and others appeared in the VIP box at Frankie Stadium tonight, talking and laughing with Zhuang Mingge, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.

After all, for Johnson and the others, the Fiorentine Chairman, who had given them a lot of help, was their most ally who needed to win over. So this time, when they received a letter from Zhuang Mingge, inviting them to participate in the farewell match between Redondo and Effenberg, Johnson and Beckenbauer did not hesitate to put what they had at hand aside and rushed to Florence to cheer for the game.

In addition, celebrities and football players from all over the world, such as Distefano, Cruyff, Rummenigge, Florentino, and other countries also appeared in the stands at Frankie Stadium on time to cheer for Redondo and Effenberg's farewell match.

By the way, Beckham originally wanted to take this opportunity to show his presence. But unfortunately, as the captain of the England national team, he really couldn't find any intersection with Effenberg and Redondo, nor did he receive an invitation from the two. If he was asked to run to Effenberg and to recommend himself, it would be too much of a price, so Beckham finally had to give up this plan and choose to appear in the stands at Frankie Stadium as an ordinary spectator.

It is no surprise that Beckham did not receive an invitation. Thinking about the grudges and grudges that have occurred in history between Britain, Argentina and Germany (such as the Battle of the Falklands and World War II). Redondo and Effenberg obviously would never let an Englishman appear in their farewell match.

Now let's turn our attention to the court. At this time, players on both sides have already walked out of the player channel. They are performing a grand but not luxurious pre-match ceremony for the two protagonists of this game - Redondo and Effenberg.

While the host was telling the audience the glorious past stories of Redondo and Effenberg, the large screen of the stadium cooperated with the continuous playback of various classic shots performed by the two midfield masters in their past ten years of player careers. The just right background music touched the fans on the scene to tears.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, the heartfelt shouts of fans from the bottom of their hearts were heard in the stands, hoping that Redondo and Effenberg could change their minds and continue to stay on the court to show their superb football skills. Although they knew in their hearts that Redondo and Effenberg would never take back the decisions they had made, if they did nothing, they would always feel uncomfortable and needed a channel to vent their sadness at the moment.

Fortunately, this sentimental pre-match ceremony did not last very long. Otherwise, there might be a scene of tears flowing into a river today at Frankie Stadium.

Let’s briefly introduce the starting list of the two teams. On Redondo’s side, the connections that the Argentine Prince and Batistuta have accumulated over the years have played a huge role at this time. Except for Redondo, the eleven players who started are almost all stars in their year of playing: Buffon, Carlos, Nesta, Samuel, Zanetti, Deco, Pirlo, Vincent, Vieri, Ronaldo... In addition to Redondo, he is the starting lineup of their game tonight.

It can be said that if someone takes this lineup to the Champions League now, even if he can't get the Big Ear Cup, he will definitely not be able to escape a quarter-finals.

It is worth mentioning that the person who serves as the head coach of Redondo's friends team is not what fans have guessed before. Bardano, who has had a pleasant cooperation experience in Tenerife and Real Madrid, did not lead him to the peak of his career, Capello and Ranieri, but the legendary Argentine coach who led the Pampas Eagles to win the Hercules Cup for the first time!
