Chapter 373: A Perfect Start (Part 1)
After winning the fifth championship trophy that the team won this year without any danger, the outside media's evaluation of Florence further rose.
The number of shots and 60% of the ball possession time in the ninety minutes surprised many fans. You should know that although Parma is not a giant team, the Milk Legion's performance in the past two years is still very outstanding. Being able to play such data is enough to prove the strength of Fiorentina in another aspect.
At the same time, Parma's starting goalkeeper Buffon's wonderful performance in this game also attracted a lot of attention. Although the goal he was responsible for guarding was captured by Fiorentina three times in this final, it is undeniable that if Buffon were not available, Fiorentina would have resolved the battle in the first twenty minutes of the game. Where would it be delayed until the end of the game?
In the original history, Buffon should have become famous in the Serie A game against AC Milan last season, but I don’t know if it was because of the strong Fiorentina in this world that Tordo suppressed the light of many young goalkeepers, and Buffon was naturally one of them.
However, gold will shine sooner or later. The talented Buffon finally became famous in the final of the European Super Cup, attracting the attention of countless teams.
Of course, those who target Buffon are teams trapped by the goalkeeper's poor goalkeeper, such as La Liga giants Real Madrid. The main goalkeeper Buffon is now 38 years old and his condition is far from comparable to his peak period. He makes continuous mistakes in the summer warm-up match. Therefore, Buffon's emergence made Ranieri start to think about Parma.
Also drooling at Buffon are Juventus's Old Fox and Manchester United's Ferguson. Peruzz, who has obvious weaknesses, are far inferior to Buffon, who is known as the "genius goalkeeper" in terms of comprehensiveness and potential. The old man in Scotland likes Buffon more to find a reliable successor in advance for the increasingly elderly Schmeichel.
However, soon Parma's official statement gave these wealthy families who were salivating about Buffon: "Gianluigi is an indispensable member of Parma. The club has considered providing him with a brand new contract, and his future will still be in Parma."
Buffon, who is very good at being a human being, then made a clear statement through his agent, announcing that he had renewed a four-year contract with Parma Club with an annual salary of US$1 million, which means that the battle for Buffon between the wealthy families has come to an end before it even started.
However, Buffon's high salary renewal also means that another goalkeeper in Parma, Luca Butch, will bid farewell to the Milk Army who has played for three seasons. After all, Parma is not as luxurious as a goalkeeper at the goalkeeper position, and Butch, who is eager to get a chance to play, will not be willing to serve as Buffon's substitute.
Therefore, after receiving the acquiescence of the club's senior management, Butch began to look for a team that was willing to accept him through his agent. However, according to the current situation, there were almost no strong teams who were willing to take over Butch's competitive state, which was already in a downward trend. Judging from the news obtained by Zhuang Mingge (Butch's agent is also affiliated with GM Company), Perugia and other mid- and lower-level teams in the league have great interest in the top three goalkeepers of the national team.
Parma is paving the way for the Rockets' risen Buffon, while Fiorentina players use their outstanding performance to prove to people that the title of the Triple Crown is by no means a flaw, and the Purple Lily is by no means a flash in the pan. Its future is worth looking forward to everyone.
On September 8, Fiorentina ushered in the first round of the Serie A season in the 1996-97 season. Florence, who was at the Frankie Stadium, faced Vicenza, which was recruiting troops this summer.
Facing Guidolin, nicknamed "Little Zhuge", Capello's famous tactical arrangement and on-site command in this game made the opponent understand what it means to be tactful and conspiracy.
Facing the Vicenza attack line composed of Ambrosetti, Luca Tony and Otero, Capello sent a defender combination of Zambrota, Stam, Nesta and Robert Carlos. The strong Stam dealt with the tall and powerful Tony, the all-round Nesta is responsible for defending the point-breaking striker Otero, and Ambroseti, who is good at breaking through, has to face the physically fit Zambrota defense.
As for the midfield corps composed of Zauri, Ambrosini and Okocha, Capello sent Davis and Tomasi, two animals who could not run, to be responsible for the defense. At the same time, he also sent Argentine Redondo as the last line of defense before the back line. While sorting out the team's midfield and backcourt to control the game rhythm, Davis must be used.
When our own tactics are completely restrained by the opponent, the results of the game can naturally be imagined.
Just as the first half began, Batistuta took over Carlos' cross from the left and headed the ball to the goal, and Fiorentina led 1-0! However, what disappointed Fiorentine fans was that at the end of the first half, center Luca Toni, who was loaned to Vicenza from the youth team, used a corner kick opportunity to push the ball from Okocha into the goal guarded by Toldo, and tied the score one-to-one!
However, this is obviously not the final outcome of the game. Inzagi, who appeared as a substitute Ronaldo in the 60th minute of the game, made full use of the loopholes in Vicenza's defense line and scored a hat trick in less than half an hour, leading Zi Lily to win the league with a good start!
The 4-1 victory made many Fiorentine fans go home to celebrate with satisfaction, but when these people woke up the next day, they were depressed to find that the team they supported did not take the lead because of this victory - Sagi led the Ross and Blacks to win a 4-1 victory in the first round. This stubborn old man planned to prove with practical actions that his coaching level had not regressed. He is still one of the best head coaches in Italy!
Inzagi's hat-trick in the first round of the league obviously stimulated other forwards in Fiorentina. Therefore, when he defeated Atalanta in the second round against Italian Super Cup, Ronaldo, who started, seemed extremely excited. He first caught Costa's straight pass in the 14th minute and passed two defenders of Atala and scored in the 34th minute. Then he assisted Bati to head the ball to score, helping Lily to gain a two-goal lead at the end of the first half.
Previously, in less than a year, Fiorentina encountered four consecutive times and lost all four games. The young Atlanta players had a psychological shadow when facing Fiorentina for the fifth time. The results of losing all four games still had a great impact on these young people. It would be great if they did not completely collapse.
So, in the second half, facing Atlanta, which had no fighting spirit, Ronaldo became more and more brave. The aliens made another pass and shot in the second half, using his outstanding form to help Zi Lily take away a four-to-zero score on the away game.
