Chapter 284 Coppa Italia Semifinals (1)

When the night building on April 3, 1995 was built over Milan, the San Siro Stadium, which had been silent for three days, once again showed amazing vitality! However, this time, it was not Inter Milan that sparked the enthusiasm of fans, but another wealthy family in Milan City - the former European king AC Milan.

Some people may ask, AC Milan was obviously away last weekend, so how could it be said that their home court, San Siro Stadium, was only quiet for three days? At least it has been more than a week!

Let me explain it here that the two Milan heroes are actually the same home stadium, but after being renamed the Meazza Stadium in 1980, since the players they commemorate are one of the greatest strikers in Inter Milan's history, AC Milan fans still use the former name of the stadium out of the confrontation between mortal enemies - San Siro.

San Siro and Meacha are actually just two names of the same stadium.

It is precisely because of this that the Italian Football Association and UEFA are extremely cautious when arranging the schedules for the Milan two heroes. When both teams have games on the same day, the two giants will definitely be one home and one away, otherwise the schedules of the two teams will definitely not be arranged because they are both home courts.

Zhuang Mingge sometimes speculated in his heart that the reason why San Siro Stadium has a reputation as a "vegetable field" is inseparable from this - think about it, when the turf maintenance time of a stadium is only less than half of that of other stadiums, how could it still expect it to have first-class quality turf, which is ravaged by more than 20 big men every week. No matter how good the turf is, it does not have such strong recovery ability.

Moreover, since the stadium is shared by Milan's two heroes, there are many inconveniences when maintaining the stadium or updating the venue facilities. In history, the two heroes of Milan have been wasting their saliva for the issue of how much they each contribute, although their bosses are quite rich.

Although there are various inconveniences in common, there are still many situations in Europe where two teams share a stadium, such as the Olympic Stadium in Bayern Munich and Munich 1860, the Alp Stadium shared by Juventus and Turin, the Ferraris Stadium shared by ** and Sampdoria, etc.

There are many reasons for this situation. For example, when building the stadium, it was jointly funded by two clubs, or when the two clubs were split, it would cause this phenomenon.

Let’s stop talking, and after three days of suffering at the Pinetina base, the players in Fiorentina finally looked forward to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup. At this time, they arrived at the game venue in advance and were chatting in the visiting team locker room at Stadium San Siro.

"Ahhhh! Finally, this day has come!" Effenberg stretched in the locker room and said, "Inter Milan's training base is so bad. I feel like I'm having a problem with it after staying there for three days."

"Hey, Stefan, shouldn't be so spoiled?" Batistuta smiled, thinking that the comfortable environment the club has created for the players has really made the appetite of his teammates. Even the hardware facilities of a wealthy family like Inter Milan are beginning to look down on. "Besides, you can't compare everything to our Fiorentina. You have to know that our training base was built only two years ago, and all the standards are world-class. How can old antiques like Pinetina, which have not undergone much modernization after being built in the 1960s, and how can it be the same as us?"

Building the first-class hardware facilities in Europe is also one of the measures taken by the Florence club led by Zhuang Mingge to strengthen the players' sense of belonging to Florence. After all, when the salary and team status are similar, most players will choose teams with better hardware conditions. After all, this is more beneficial to extending their professional life.

Since Fiorentina had just played a league game three days ago, considering that some players' physical fitness may not keep up with this intensive schedule, Ranieri made certain adjustments to the starting lineup of Fiorentina in this game.

On the front line, the tumbler who tasted the sweetness in the game against Inter Milan continued to line up three forwards. Robert Baggio, who played a full 90-minute game in the last game, got a chance to rest in this game, and Frenchman Djokav got a starting opportunity.

In the midfield, the combination of Tachinadi, Davis and Effenberg, and Dibiagio, Kripa and Rui Costa, etc., are sitting on the bench and waiting for calls at any time.

As for the defense line, it is the most change for the Tumbler. Since AC Milan's attack on the wing is quite sharp, both Maldini on the left and Panucci on the right are the first-class full-backs in Europe, and their offense and defense are extremely stable. Therefore, Ranieri put Lanna and Bilindeli, who have a more stable defense, on the starting list. Zambrota's downs were because he was too young and could easily be beaten by Maldini and Donadoni at the peak, while Fortunato was physically responsible for his physical condition. He still couldn't adapt to the rhythm of the double-game for a week.

The central defender combination is still Ferrara and Nesta. After all, the two forwards of AC Milan, Via and Cruivet, are both quite versatile forwards, and only they can limit these two black forwards. If it were Viljoward or Filicano, they would be left alone.

...

It seems that because of distracting from politics, AC Milan's big boss Berlusconi has not come to San Siro to watch the game for a long time, especially after the team was eliminated from the UEFA Cup by Bordeaux led by Dugari and Miku (Ziedane left Bordeaux early due to Zhuang Mingge's golden finger, so Miku also joined this Ligue 1 club ahead of history). Berlusconi, who was disappointed that the club missed the Grand Slam opportunity again, devoted most of his energy to politics, and AC Milan's affairs were completely handed over to Galliani.

"Manager Galiani, it's been a long time no see."

"Chairman Corleone, welcome to the San Siro Stadium to watch the game." Gatuzi also bowed slightly to Zhuang Mingge. Although the two clubs are now playing in the league, there is actually no unresolved hatred between AC Milan and Fiorentina, so at least there is still some politeness.

However, the headache that caused Zhuang Mingge soon occurred, because at this time, Jia Tuzi saw that there were no paparazzi and other people around him, and once again mentioned the old thing: "By the way, Chairman Corleone, I wonder if you have any plans to sell Filicano now. We, Milan, are willing to offer him a very generous offer..."

"Well, Manager Galiani, why don't you talk about this matter after the game is over? Look, the players on both sides have already started to enter the court, let's say, "Zhuang Mingge, who was dizzy by Galiani, quickly found an excuse to put this topic aside for the time being.
