Chapter 459 Transcendence!
It is not news for Fiorentina to win Cagliari, and it is already common for everyone to win this team.
However, while winning this time, Fiorentina tied the longest unbeaten record in the five major leagues set by AC Milan, which is a big news.
The day after the game, major sports media throughout Italy and the world reported on this matter.
As a supporter of two teams in Milan, although Milan Sports expressed congratulations to Florence at the beginning of the comments, from the whole article, the official mouthpiece of the two Milan heroes still called on all Italian teams to unite to snipe Florence, and strive to break the unbeaten golden body of Purple Lily in the next game.
Well, who has always been the pride of AC Milan for fifty-eight league games, and is one of the topics that Milan fans are talking about. No one expected that they would be tied by Fiorentina within a few years. And judging from their next schedule, they still have the potential to surpass this record. All those who support AC Milan naturally cannot keep a normal mind and look at this matter.
In addition to the unconditional support and praise of the club by Florence local media, other Italian media have also written articles saying that they should respond to the call of Milan Sports, everyone should unite and strive to defeat Florence, a rich man as soon as possible.
Even though that's the case, when these people looked at the opponents in Fiorentina's last three rounds of the league, they felt that there was little hope to prevent the team from setting a new record.
In the 32nd round of Serie A, Fiorentina challenged Napoli away to fight for relegation.
In the 33rd round of the match a week later, Fiorentina faces Regina, who has been relegated to the home court.
On June 1st, the Serie A finale, Fiorentina's opponent was Sampdoria, a sea blue army, who was somewhat weak after the winter break.
Among these three opponents, except for Sampdoria, who has stars such as Montera and Peron, who has the ability to cause some trouble for Fiorentina, the remaining two teams are basically playing soybean roles.
Therefore, the Italian media, except for Florence, are just talking verbally that they do not have much hope for the possibility of Naples successfully blocking the Florentine people.
Supporters of AC Milan naturally realized this. Although reason told them, these fans were still praying silently in their hearts, hoping that miracles could happen.
Although Naples has introduced Flins, Schneider and Novotney, these future stars through the recommendation of GM, plus the team's original Argentine central defender Ayala and Frenchman Bogsion, their strength is much stronger than in history, but the increase in overall strength does not mean that this team will definitely win a good ranking.
Everyone believes that Maradona's departure has pulled away the backbone of the team. Unless it is completely demolished and rebuilt Naples and reborn in the ashes, or another superstar with dominance on the court, this southern team will sooner or later bid farewell to the Serie A in constant struggle.
Therefore, although Fiorentina is a away game this time, no one thinks that Napoli can win the league leader at their home court.
What a joke, if Fiorentina loses at the feet of Napoli, who is fighting for relegation, how can the teams that were killed by Fiorentina before feel good?
On May 18, the 32nd round of Serie A began as scheduled.
Capello did not feel complacent about tying his continuous unbeaten record when coaching in Milan, nor did he relax his requirements for the players in training. Therefore, the Fiorentine players did not look down on this game, but were serious about doing all the preparations they should do.
The starting goalkeeper is still Tordo, with the four defenders being Carlos, veterans Viljoward, Stam and Zambrota. Although the tacit understanding between these four players is an unknown, with their ability, it should be no problem to keep an eye on Napoli, an attack line that can rank among the top three in Serie A.
In the midfield, Redondo, Effenberg, Djokaf and Davis started together. Although this combination weakened Fiorentina's defensive ability in the midfield, the team's midfield control increased a lot.
On the forward line, it was Batistuta and Philip Inzaghi's turn to partner. Although both players lacked the ability to drive the ball, with the support of midfield masters such as Effenberg behind them, this weakness seemed a bit insignificant.
No matter how you look at such a lineup, it will be a matter of holding hands to Naples.
However, after the game started, something that surprised everyone. Naples, who was unpopular before the game, took the lead less than ten minutes into the game!
Just nine minutes into the game, German midfielder Flins kicked a world wave 30 meters away from the goal. The ball was like a cannonball that was released, and it was slapped straight into the dead corner of the goal, one to zero!
Thordo was stunned by Flins' long shot. He didn't expect that the German on the opposite side would really make such a long shot without caring about it. The most detrimental thing was that the ball actually entered!
If this guy kicks ten more feet at that position, he can't get a long shot of this level! Why did he make this shot?! Thordo lamented in his heart and took out the ball from the goal.
"Flins!! Torsten Flins!" The commentator did not expect that it would be Napoli to break the deadlock on the court. "A goal was generated less than ten minutes after the game started, but the goal was not Fiorentina that was widely favored before the game, but Napoli, who played at home! They led Fiorentina to zero at the Stadium of Sao Paulo!"
Just as Napoli players were celebrating the goal on the court, Fiorentina had already placed the ball in the middle of the court and waited for the re-start. Except for Tordo, who was still a little depressed, everyone's expression was very calm, and they seemed not panicked at all because they were scored first by their opponents.
After all, before Napoli scored a goal, Fiorentina had always had the advantage of the situation on the court, and Flins' goal just now had a lot of luck. Florence players who focused on the game and were used to big scenes naturally would not be panicked because of a temporary backwardness.
The subsequent games also proved this. Although the midfielder composed of Schneider, Flins and Bogsion is quite balanced in offense and defense, the gap in experience and the lack of strength of the forward teammates made Napoli waste many offensive opportunities, and also gave the Fiorentines countless opportunities to score.
In the 23rd minute, Schneider was cut off by the latter under Davis' close press. Redondo, who followed behind, then passed the ball to the side. Djokaf, who moved to the left, immediately made a cross after receiving the ball. Inzaghi scored in the penalty area and changed the score to a one-to-one tie;
In the 69th minute, Batistuta scored a goal overtaken by Fiorentina. He beat Novotney, who was guarding himself in the penalty area, and headed the corner kick taken by Djokaf!
The score of 2-1 was maintained until the end of the game. When the referee blew the final whistle, all the players in Fiorentina ran to the court to celebrate this milestone victory!
