Chapter 1413 Overtaking and being overtaken
PS1: This is the update on Thursday, a little late. I hope that all book friends don’t care too much about the update time. I’ll guarantee that I will not stop updating...
PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.
PS3: I would like to thank my book friend "Tianyuan Hanqi" for the reward.
Since you have taken so many benefits and are still greedy, and always short-sighted in thinking about trying to break the existing rules under the banner of defending your own rights and interests, don't blame me for being ruthless. Seeing Berlusconi leaving the box with an unpleasant face, Zhuang Mingge thought so.
You should know that when the Serie A, which implemented the television broadcasting rights for the next three years, sold the league's television broadcasting rights for the next three years, it sold at a sky-high price of up to 2 billion euros. The signing of this huge broadcasting contract greatly improved the financial situation of all Serie A clubs, allowing Serie A clubs to climb out of the crisis of the bursting of the economic bubble at the turn of the century. There was no such thing as in previous lives. Many clubs fell into serious financial crises due to the bursting of the economic bubble (such as Rome, Lazio, Parma, etc.), and even went bankrupt (such as Fiorentina).
In addition, under the joint promotion of the Prodi government and the Italian Football Association, Serie A clubs have now obtained all the rights to use and transform their respective home courts (Milan and Rome have shared the same stadium, which have further improved the economic foundation of Serie A clubs and allowed these clubs to still have enough financial resources to strengthen the team's lineup while the entire European transfer market is in a slump.
If the plan to sell the league broadcast rights is not implemented, but the club will negotiate with the TV station alone, then the top three teams in the North, including Florence and Lazio, may be able to get a fat contract from the broadcasters that is far more than the current income. However, other Serie A clubs may be severely suppressed by the broadcasters because of insufficient star flavor or lack of popularity, and have to sign their broadcast contracts at a figure lower than the normal market price.
That's why Zhuang Mingge was extremely angry at these ungrateful wolves' behavior of destroying bridges across the river - it would be fine if Berlusconi made a fuss. After all, the current broadcast fee allocation plan is to some extent, which sacrifices part of AC Milan's interests, and it is understandable that he would express his dissatisfaction with this. But Old Sensi and Garone (Chairman Sampdoria) have gained so many benefits from this distribution plan. What qualifications do you two have to jump out and say something about this matter?!
Zhuang Mingge's attitude towards these guys who only want to get benefits by themselves and don't care about the lives of others is very clear. That is, as long as they dare to reach out, he will dare to chop off all the claws of these people and throw them back!
Just when Zhuang Mingge was patiently waiting for someone to come out and die so that he could have the opportunity to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, Fiorentina had already ended the two-round battle with Arsenal, eliminating the Gunners with a total score of four to one, and advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions League with a head held high!
Although Wenger had to sell the team captain Vieira to Juventus last summer in exchange for the necessary funds to maintain the normal operation of the club, which had a significant impact on the team's strength, due to the fact that other core members of the unbeaten championship season were still there, coupled with the growth of young players such as Fabregas, Van Persie, Ebue, and the Gunners this season moved the focus of the game to the Champions League, Arsenal's strength is still not to be underestimated by Fiorentina.
"Ice Prince" Borgkamp is still strong, and "King of Highbury" Henry, with the support of his teammates such as Pire, Van Persie, and Loneberg, played a highlight performance that was no less than that of the peak season of 2003-04. He led the Gunners all the way through the hurdles and successfully entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
However, unfortunately, Arsenal encountered the strong rival of Fiorentina on the road to the semi-finals. Although Wenger and Arsenal players said in an interview before the game that they were not afraid of Fiorentina with rich experience in winning the championship and had enough confidence to defeat Purple Lily to advance to the semi-finals, in fact, not many people think that the Gunners have hope of eliminating Purple Lily, at most they would just cause some trouble for the opponent.
After all, Fiorentina has a lot of experience in dealing with a team like Arsenal that has strong offense and weak defense. Especially the Gunners' current defense line is far less stable than two years ago. Campbell and Lehman, who are getting older, have already slipped from their peak. Ashley Cole is also entangled with Arsenal on the issue of renewal. All of this makes Arsenal's defense line, which was originally one of the top in the Premier League, become fragile.
What's worse is that I don't know if it was fate. Mourinho discovered the life of Wenger's tactical system like his previous life, that is, Arsenal lacked one in the penalty area. Therefore, in the two rounds of the game with Arsenal, the Portuguese decisively used a defensive counterattack technique, concentrating the defensive power in the middle, resolutely not allowing Arsenal to penetrate the middle, and tried his best to compress the Gunners' pass and cut space!
The result of Mourinho's choice to block the middle and put the side was that Arsenal, who lacked a strong center, could not pose much threat to Fiorentina's goal. Facing Fiorentina's steel defense line like a moving Great Wall, Henry and others were used to solving the battle through large-scale interlude, cross-switching and passing and cutting cooperation to solve the battle. It was difficult for him to launch an offensive in a small activity space. Most of the crosses from the wing were easily cleared by Fiorentina players guarding the penalty area.
In this way, facing Fiorentina's targeted tactical arrangements, Arsenal, who tried to make a breakthrough in the European court, once again failed in the Champions League. The last Champions League trip of the "Ice Prince" Borgkamp's player career also ended with regret and failed to use a Big Ear Cup as his farewell gift.
Of course, in order to defeat Arsenal, Fiorentina also paid the corresponding price. Due to distracted from the European game, Fiorentina was tied by Roma in the 32nd round of the league, resulting in Purple Lily being successfully surpassed by Juventus, who won this round in the standings and falling to the second place!
Juventus fans who have been waiting for most of the season are naturally very excited. Although the Zebras are only two points ahead of Fiorentina, being able to overtake with only six rounds of the league is enough to make them happy for a while.
However, Juventus fans were not happy for too long. Because in the 33rd round of the game, Fiorentina, who was away from the Alp Stadium, once again beat Juventus to the horse. After the Italian Super Cup, Zebina once again became the culprit of the team's defeat. His 77th minute of the game gave Milito a chance to score a single shot, and the latter also seized this rare opportunity, pushed the goal with his left foot and scored the only goal of the two teams in this game!
