Although Fiorentina successfully defended the league championship and reached the final in the Champions League, it seemed to be extremely glorious, but in fact, this season was not easy for Fiorentina players. Because throughout the season, Fiorentina almost fought fiercely with Juventus, and also faced strong pressure from fighting on the third line, which made Fiorentina players very much physically and mentally exhausted. Therefore, at this stage, most of the players in the Fiorentina team are already quite tired. Even with a group of sports medicine experts and masseurs from the physical therapy center to help restore their physical strength, their competitive state has not been restored to their best level.
Of course, although Fiorentina has affected its combat effectiveness due to excessive consumption on the league battlefield, this is only relative to the same period of history. Under the careful care of the Fiorentine physiotherapy team led by Thomas Carter, the physical condition of the Fiorentine players is not the best in Europe, at least it is much better than their opponent Lazio in the Champions League final. You should know that in another game at the same time, in order to save a ticket to the Champions League for next season, Lazio sent all his main players and fought with Parma for dozens of minutes.
Moreover, this championship battle with Juventus, which lasted for nearly a season, is also a great training for the young players in the Fiorentina team. Under the huge pressure exerted by the Zebras, young people such as Ronaldo, Ribery and Modric have grown very well this season. The originally impetuous mind has become calm under this pressure, and their application of technology and the timing of the game have become more intense, becoming an important force in Mourinho's hands.
It was precisely the rapid growth of these young players and the sudden outbreak of veterans such as Inzagi at a critical moment that Fiorentina was able to advance together on the two fronts of the league and the Champions League this season, and was not dragged down by the situation of multi-line combat.
In this way, after ending the Serie A final match with Chevo with a draw and winning the 2005-06 Serie A championship trophy amid the cheers of tens of thousands of fans present at the Frankie Stadium, Florence did not celebrate in the locker room, but disbanded on the spot after attending the press conference after the match to rest. Because in four days, they will usher in the most important game of the season - the European Championship Final with Lazio!
After a short rest of the day, the entire Fiorentina team headed north to Paris to prepare for the Champions League final scheduled in three days. Mourinho plans to give the players more time to adapt to the venue and the local climate, so that the team can accumulate more stealth advantages before the final starts.
Compared with the fast-moving Fiorentina, Lazio's movements were much slower. When the Fiorentine players finished their field adaptation training and conducted the final tactical exercise at the training base of Paris Saint-Germain, the Blue Eagles players arrived at Charles de Gaulle International Airport by plane. At this time, it was already the morning of May 17.
Lippi was also quite helpless about this situation. It was not that the Silver Fox didn't want the players to go to Paris to adapt to the venue as soon as possible, but because Fiorentina's movements were too fast, he greeted Paris Saint-Germain early and borrowed their training base for pre-match preparations, which made Lazio just wanted to take the same action and learned that their goal had been taken first by Fiorentina.
Although Paris is not the only team in Paris Saint-Germain, the training grounds of several other clubs really do not meet Lazio's standards, and Clay Fontaine, who meets the requirements, is 50 kilometers away from the downtown area of Paris... Therefore, Lippi had to let the players practice tactics in Rome, and they did not fly to Paris to perform on-site training until the day before the game began.
As the two protagonists participating in this Champions League final came one after another, the warm atmosphere of football and the Champions League began to spread in this romantic capital. Fans from all over the world flocked to Paris to enjoy the peak showdown between these two top teams up close!
That's right, although Abu's Lazio still has no heavyweight championship trophy yet, because the Blue Eagles frequently make big moves in the transfer market, and their performance in the league and the Champions League has become more stable and powerful. In addition, the influence of the Kranioti golden era has not completely disappeared, so Lazio is gradually accepted by fans and listed it as one of the top giants.
"Tsk tsk, turning the Champions League final into a civil war between the teams in the same league means that our Italian teams can have such ability." Those who can attract hatred so much before the finals begin are naturally these journalists from Italy. Lazio and Fiorentina successfully met in the Champions League final this season, making all Italian journalists and media honored.
Looking at the Italian journalists who were extremely proud of being beaten, although their companions from Britain, France, Germany and Spain were so angry that they couldn't say anything to refute - after all, what the other party said was true. Serie A team occupied three of the semi-finals of the European Champions League this season, and the remaining one was obtained by Villarreal, the dark horse, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal and Bayern. At most, the top clubs such as Premier League overlord Manchester United didn't even qualify for the group. This reality not only gave Italian journalists enough confidence to show off, but also made journalists from other countries feel blank.
Based on the principle of not being able to discredit or cause trouble for the Champions League final, these reporters who were full of anger on the Italians had to vent their anger on those unscrupulous domestic clubs, pick up their pens and computers to make the teams black all over the top and bottom. For a time, four of the five major European leagues caused bloody storms, and many stars who played in their own giants also suffered great dangers and became victims of these reporters' resentment.
Some people may ask why these reporters are so obedient and do not harass the two teams Lazio and Fiorentina after being disgusted by the Italians? This is mainly because UEFA's deterrence is at work. No reporter is willing to make things worse for Beckenbauer and UEFA at the critical moment of the Champions League final. If they accidentally hate the other party and cause them to be banned, their jobs will not be saved.
