Some people may ask, didn’t Parma win the European Cup last season? Why should the influence of this trophy be, and why did it attract the attention of mainstream European football circles until today?

That's right, but don't forget that after entering the Boseman era and experiencing the Champions League expansion, the UEFA Cup and the European Cup of Winners, the other two events in the European Cup, are no longer as powerful as before. Therefore, even if Parma wins the Cup of Winners, it will not have much positive impact on improving their evaluation among the fans and media groups. In this case, the increase in the value of a European Cup of Winners championship on its players is really not as good as a Serie A game between Fiorentina.

At this point, the experiences of the two clubs Porto and Atletico Madrid in their previous life are undoubtedly the most convincing. The former won the League Cup championship in 2003, and the Portuguese Premier League and Portugal Cup triple-winning titles are still considered by most fans to be just a second-rate team; while the latter won the League Cup championship twice in three years, it was not recognized by fans. Instead, after reaching the Champions League final under the leadership of Simeone, it became the third pole of La Liga that can compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

This shows the huge gap in influence between the Champions League and other intercontinental events of the same type.

Now, after defeating Fiorentina in the head-on league, this Parma youth team has received attention and recognition. Although Fiorentina's defeat this time included many objective factors, football always depends on the result. If you lose, you will lose. Even if Heinquez and Fiorentine players have many reasons, they cannot change this fact.

What's more, if Parma itself had not been strong enough, even if Fiorentina was relieved in this game, they would not have won a victory in Purple Lily. Therefore, Parma, as the winner, deserves people's praise and attention.

In addition to Adriano, who is most sought after by various giant clubs, players such as Marcioni, Desanctis, and Kuyt have also been favored by many clubs. For example, the Fox Mo targeted Kuyt, believing that this Dutch young player with a tenacious and spiritual style is very consistent with Juventus' employment standards; while the Romans fell in love with Parma's current captain Mateo Ferrari. After Aldal retired and Zago left, the Red Wolves only left Argentine's "rock" Samuel in the centre-back position, so Ferrari, who performed well in Parma, naturally attracted Capello's attention.

Although Fiorentina's start-up winning streak in the 2003-04 season was regrettably ended by the young Parma to the number of eight consecutive wins, this does not mean that the league goal-grabbing strategy formulated by Heinkes for the team at the beginning of the season will temporarily come to an end.

You should know that Fiorentina currently ranked first in Group B with ten points in the Champions League group stage, Real Sociedad ranked second in the group by three points. Ajax, third-placed only won four points in the first four rounds, and only achieved one draw and one loss in the two rounds of matches with Fiorentina. Therefore, even if Fiorentina loses the last two group games, it will not fall to the point of missing the top 16 of the Champions League. After all, according to the relevant rules set by UEFA, when there are teams in the group with the same score, the team's ranking order is given priority to refer to the results of these teams' mutual matches, rather than looking at the goal difference of each team first.

This means that Fiorentina, which has already secured a place to advance to the top 16 and does not have much pressure to qualify in the Champions League, can still concentrate its efforts on the Serie A battlefield during this period and continue to implement the league point-grabbing strategy formulated by Heinx.

Just as the Fiorentine players were training in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Heinquez and preparing for the next game seriously, another storm broke out in Italy.

It turned out that the Italian Football Association held a press conference the day after the ninth round of the league was over, announcing that it would hold the first Serie A All-Star Game before the winter break of the Serie A this season!

The announcement of this news immediately attracted the keen attention of countless media and fans. After all, for these people, the stars who are well-known on the football field are the focus of their attention. For example, perhaps Jiuli and Vincent and Vieri may be more powerful and effective in cooperation with Vieri, but fans are obviously more willing to see the scene where the emperor superstars such as Nedved and Figo pass the ball to Vieri.

However, fans also know that in the real world, it is extremely difficult for them to realize this wish. Not to mention the locker room conflicts and huge salary pressure that may bring about gathering these superstars in a team, it is still a question whether those teams are willing to sell their leading stars.

Therefore, when the fans learned that this time they had the opportunity to turn these YYs into reality, these fans suddenly burst out with unparalleled enthusiasm!

As for the specific election methods and operation details, the Italian Football Association largely followed the election model of the NBA All-Star Game this time, giving the fans the choice of 22 starting players in the two teams to the fans, and the substitute players were chosen by the two head coaches themselves. In this way, it can not only take care of the fans' emotions, but also maximize the maximum.

Of course, due to the many differences between football and basketball games, the Italian Football Association has also made corresponding adjustments in some details. For example, in order to ensure that the starting lineups of the two teams will not have serious offensive imbalances, the Italian Football Association has given priority to determining the head coaches and game formations of the two teams, and then strictly classifying the players according to their positions, thereby avoiding the embarrassing situation where the starting players of a team are all composed of offensive players.

For example, if the formation is determined to be 442, then no matter how many votes a player ranked third on the striker list gets, he will not be able to get the chance to start; even if a central defender gets lower votes than a player ranked tenth on the striker list, as long as he ranks in the top two on the list where he is, he can still be qualified to start the All-Star.

Although the English media complained sorrowfully that the Italian Football Association's election model is intended to imitate the NBA All-Star Game, all fans and media who pay attention to the League One obviously will not care about the insignificant trivial matters that the English people say.
