Chapter 150 Break the curse

On May 21, in the 32nd round of Serie A, Fiorentina played against Torino at home.

Neither side cared about the result of this game because Fiorentina has been confirmed to win the championship, and Turin led the fourth-last place after dating Cremona in the last round, and there was no danger of relegation from Serie A. So in this game, both sides played quite openly, and the players released their energy and passion into the offense, making this game a lively goal feast...

Torino performed very well in the first half, with two forwards, Cyrenzi and Riztri, scoring two goals in the first twenty minutes of the first half to help the visiting team gain a lead, while Fiorentina, who has not recovered from the Cup Winners final, won a goal back in the 39th minute by Batistuta, and finally ended the first half one-to-two.

In the second half, Fiorentina, whose form has improved, launched a counterattack. Although the purpose of this game is that the whole team must make a goal for Bati, when there is really a better chance of scoring, Bati still decisively handed the ball to his teammates with better positions: in the 64th minute, Philip Inzagie equalized the score after receiving Bati's pass; in the 67th minute, Inzagie repaid, and a light cross helped Bati score twice in this game.

In the 72nd minute, Fiorentina got a frontcourt set-piece 25 meters away from the goal. Batistuta scored a hat-trick and successfully scored his league goals to 30!

In the 80th minute, Pirlo, a young player who was substituting Djokaf, sent a wonderful pass, and Kripa went to the meeting alone to score the fifth goal of Fiorentina in this game; in the 88th minute, Lanna's cross after assisting allowed Vieri, who appeared in substitute Bati, to win; before the end of the game, Torino defender Fauci used a corner kick opportunity to head the ball, and finally locked the score at an astonishing six-to-three!

After this game, all of Florence's goals have been announced. Batistuta broke the "thirty-goal curse" of the Serie A golden boot for 36 years. It has become a news that many Italian media have been competing to report. After all, a striker can score 30 goals in the Serie A, which is said to be the most difficult to score, which is enough to increase his fame!

Thirty goals in a single season, you know, this is a height that Ruménig, Klinsmann, Basten and other emperor superstars have not been able to reach!

After Batistuta refreshed his goal data on the scorer list to 30 goals, he has basically locked in the Serie A Golden Boot this season. After all, Balbo, who ranked second, only scored twenty-one goals in the league, unless this Batistuta's compatriot can score nine goals in the last two rounds of the league...

...

The next week after the match against Turin is the final of the UEFA Champions League in the 1994-95 season. The two sides are Italian giants AC Milan and the youth team Ajax from the Netherlands. After ninety minutes of fierce battle, AC Milan still failed to change the trajectory of history. In the 84th minute of the game, the young player Cruyvit, who came on the bench, was killed with a sword.

The Dutch young player became famous overnight. For a moment, his fame even surpassed Litmanning and others who were originally the main players in the team.

But who would have thought that this Champions League final was the peak moment of Cruivet's career?

Now put the topic back to Fiorentina, and they will have to deal with the last two opponents of this season: Parma and AC Milan, who are struggling for the European quota next season. These two games were originally a very difficult schedule for Fiorentina, but due to the team's early winning of the championship, the last two rounds of the league that originally seemed the most difficult has become a formality for Fiorentina now...

Fans don’t care about the outcome of the last two games, and the first-team players have no goals to strive for. At this time, head coach Ranieri also sent a starting lineup composed of young players and substitutes in the last two rounds of the league.

Of course, the result was not unexpected. Florence, with a full substitute, was sent a three-to-zero by Parma at the Tardini Stadium; in the last round, he returned to home court against AC Milan, and finally lost one-to-two. It is worth mentioning that in this game, Fortunato, who had been recuperating for more than a year due to illness, came on as a substitute in the 80th minute of the game and gave an assist, and his appearance received cheers from many Fiorentina fans.

After the game with AC Milan, a podium was quickly built in the center of Frankie Stadium to prepare for the next award ceremony. Florence fans did not have the enthusiasm to celebrate the team's league championship because they won the Cup of Winners before. Although this is not the first Serie A championship in Florence's history, for Florence, which is seriously lacking in honor, every championship trophy is worthy of the highest enthusiasm for fans!

Zhuang Mingge sat in the box and watched Batistuta as the team representative, and went on stage to shake hands with Italian Football Association chairman Perot, and took over the league championship trophy from the latter.

Then, Bati and Effenberg held the trophy side and lifted the trophy hard over their heads. The Fiorentine fans immediately burst into loud cheers, celebrating the third Serie A championship in Florence history in unison!

At the same time, Fiorentina also created a big miracle, that is, they won the Serie A championship this season as a league-promoted team!

Although Fiorentina's "updated team" name is just a coat, from the perspective of the cards, Fiorentina's strength is not even inferior to Juventus, but the fans don't care about this. What they see is the miracle of a team winning the league championship as a promoted team!

Nothing spreads faster than miracles. Under the word of mouth and the vigorous exaggeration of various media, the name of Florence has begun to be well known to more people...

The 1994-95 Serie A season ended, and Fiorentina won the Serie A championship this season with 25 wins, two draws and seven losses! Their points reached 77 points, nine points ahead of the second-place Juventus team, and regained the Serie A championship trophy after 26 years! At the same time, Fiorentina also qualified to participate in the European Champions League next season (before the 1997 Champions League reorganization, the Champions League only allowed league champions from various countries and the defending champions of last season to participate).

Juventus ranked second in the league with 68 points, Lazio ranked third in the league with 63 points, and Parma ranked fourth in the league with 60 points. AC Milan, which had previously completed three consecutive Serie A championships, ranked fifth in the season with 57 points. Since Parma defeated Juventus in the Italian Cup final, he lost to the Zebras in the League Cup final. Therefore, according to UEFA regulations, Juventus, as the defending champion of the League Cup, will automatically get a place to participate in the UEFA Cup match next season. With so many, the quota of the League Cup will be replaced by AC Milan, fifth place, and the Ross and Blacks were lucky to have a place to win a European Cup.

The three teams that were directly relegated are Foggia, Regina and Brescia. The relegation of these three teams is nothing surprising. However, the Italian veteran club **'s accidental miss in the relegation play-offs and unfortunately relegated in the final surprise surprised many fans. The relegation of this veteran strongman means that the famous "Beacon Derby" will not be seen in Serie A next season.

On the scorer list, Batistuta won the Serie A Golden Boot this season with 30 goals. Except for a few games that were not allowed to participate, the Argentinian's goal rate in the league this season has even exceeded one goal in a single game.

Bati's compatriot Balbo won the Serie A silver boot with 22 league goals, Parma's Zora and Torino scorer Riztelli tied for third place in the scorer list with 19 goals, and then followed by famous players such as Marco Simeone, Viali, Ravanelli, and Signori.
