Chapter 561 Depressed Real Madrid
Although the Roman player who played away played desperately in the subsequent time, unfortunately things went against his wishes. In the unfavorable situation of one less player on the court, the wolves from Roma not only failed to equalize the score, but instead were attacked by Da Inzagi, who was on the bench in the 84th minute, and finally lost the game with a score of 1-3.
At the post-match press conference, Zeman led Delvicio to criticize Matrazi's behavior on the court in front of a group of reporters, believing that Fiorentina was a little unfair.
"If Marco (Dervicio) had not been provoked by Matrazi in verbal provocation, we would have had the chance to win the game." Zeman said at the press conference that the Czech coach was obviously still worried about Deervicio's red card. "My player made a counterattack move after being insulted by the opponent. The punishment for the red card was really too severe."
Facing Zeman's accusations, Capello seemed quite calm. Over the years, he had been scolded by his opponents for various reasons, and his face had been developed: "As far as I know, there is no requirement for football matches to not allow verbal communication during the game, so Matrazi's behavior can only be considered a little bit unethical. But Delvicio took action directly, no, he used the header directly. His actions have seriously violated the rules of the game. If he does not punish him, would he encourage the players to hit people directly if they can't say others?"
Capello's answer directly blocked Zeman's mouth, and the latter had nothing to say to have to feel sulked.
In short, after Matteus, Delvicio became another victim of Matrazi's stinky mouth.
After easily defeating Roma at home and winning six consecutive wins in Serie A, Fiorentina soon ushered in another game - in the Champions League group stage four days later, Purple Lily will challenge their strongest opponent at the Bernabeu Stadium, La Liga giants Real Madrid.
Although Real Madrid Chairman Sans issued an order to win before the game, Real Madrid coach Heinx did obey the order and sent all the main players in this game.
Goalkeeper Ilgena, who retreated due to his age, and Sanchis Jr., partnered with the center back, right defender Panucci, and left defender because he was not adapted to Italy and was sold by AC Milan this summer.
Sidorf and Karenbu, two teammates who had a brief cooperation in Sampdoria, continued to fight side by side in Madrid this time; under the arrangement of Heinkes, although Raul nominally played the left winger, the Spanish Golden Boy was actually more hiding behind the forward player in the offense and responsible for the team's last pass; and in order to make way for the talented player and future team flag, the original starting winger Amavisca had to move to the right and play the right that he was not good at; Davao Suk and Mijatovic continued to firmly control the starting forward position.
After the game started, Real Madrid, who played at home, once scored two goals with the goal of local rising stars Raul Gonzalez and Croatia King's left-footed Davao Suk, but when the game ended, the score on the field disappointed Real Madrid.
At the Bernabeu Stadium, facing Real Madrid, which was highly morale and extremely eager to avenge the arrow two years ago, Capello led Fiorentina to successfully escape from the away game with a defensive counterattack that made the White Army extremely hated.
Faced with the unfavorable situation of falling behind two goals in the first half, Fiorentina did not panic at all. Instead, it took advantage of Real Madrid's desire to use a big victory to justify themselves. While stabilizing the defense, Redondo, Effenberg and others sent accurate straight passes in the second half, making a very exciting and fast counterattack.
Vieri and Inzagi each scored a goal in the game, which made Fiorentina's trip to Madrid a 2-2 draw, and also made Real Madrid players' efforts in the entire game silence.
After this round, Fiorentina dominated with two wins, one draw and seven points; Real Madrid won one win, two draw and five points in the past three group matches, and followed Fiorentina with a gap of two points; and Leverkusen unexpectedly ranked third in the group match after defeating Liverpool from afar in the third group match; as for Liverpool who was optimistic about the outside world (Note: Basically the British media are optimistic about the Reds), not only did they fail in one game, but they only scored two goals in three group matches, but they conceded as many as six!
Such a bad performance not only ruined the Reds, which once famous in Europe, but also made Liverpool coach Evans's coaching position shaky. Although Liverpool played the most pleasing offensive football under Evans' training (Note: Wenger had just taken over at this time and had not injected enough gorgeous atmosphere to Arsenal), but against the background of missing the league championship for seven consecutive years, Liverpool's game was played well, no matter how good it was, Evans' coaching position could not be completely stabilized.
This is a world where successes are kings and losers are bandits, especially for giants like Liverpool. If you don’t get a heavyweight championship, that is a season of failure.
Now, the senior executives of Liverpool club, who were already anxious about missing the league championship for many years, were extremely furious after seeing the team's poor performance in the Champions League this season. After a critical meeting, Evans, who was criticized, received a harsh warning from Liverpool executives. If the team cannot lead the team to successfully break through the group stage, the club will seriously consider whether he still has the need to stay in office.
Evans immediately expressed strong protest against the request issued by the senior management. After all, the four teams in this group are very strong, and Liverpool's strength does not have any advantage at all. Fiorentina is the overlord of Europe, and Real Madrid is the La Liga champion. Even Leverkusen, who is considered the worst, is not worse than himself in overall strength. In his opinion, the club's hard demand is purely a cramp in his head.
Under Evans' protest, Liverpool's top management made certain changes to the bottom line, requiring Evans to at least get third in the group (third in the group is qualified to participate in this season's League Cup). If even Leverkusen, like their eyes, cannot suppress the **smart team, then there is a reason to fire Evans.
