In the past summer, Inter Milan still played a role in the transfer market under the command of Morati, under the command of the fan chairman. With the generous donation of his boss Moda, Inter Milan not only signed Batistuta at the world's first place, but also introduced Portuguese star Paul Sousa from Dortmund, as well as French young player Sebastian Frey who played for Cannes, and his strength was further enhanced.

Naturally, someone will inevitably leave when someone comes. Nigerian star Nvancono Canu, who came out of the trouble of heart disease with Morati's support, is the most famous of them. After recovering from the serious illness, the Nigerian chose to abandon Inter Milan, which has always been with him in the dilemma, and defected to Arsenal for $4.5 million. This result made Morati, who regarded Canu as a child, feel very hurt.

However, Inter Milan's good record on all fronts this season has diluted the sentimentality of Boss Mo Da to a certain extent. The Nerazzurri not only tightly grasped Fiorentina in the league, but also performed well in the Champions League. Currently, they have achieved three wins and one loss in the group stage with Real Madrid, but they are only behind the La Liga giants because of their goal difference. At the same time, in the domestic cup, Luigi Simone led a substitute player to successfully reach the quarterfinals.

These victories played a very good role in the accumulation of sufficient self-confidence among Inter Milan players. At least before the showdown began, they were not worried about their opponents' strength when they played away.

At this time, on the bus heading to Frankie Stadium, Inter Milan's head coach Simeone was making the final pre-match deployment: "Gabriel (Battistuta), Robert (Baggio), Yuri (Djokav), you three have been together in Fiorentina. Although you haven't played football together for a short time, it probably won't hinder your tacit understanding, right?"

"That's natural." Batistuta nodded and said, "When we were in Fiorentina, we were often divided into the same group. Even if there was a one to two-year break between them, it would not be in the way. This has been well proved in previous games."

"That's right, then I'll be looking forward to your wonderful performance on the sidelines tonight." Thinking of the performance of this offensive trident since the start of this season, Simeone, who was about to start a game with Fiorentina, felt a lot more relaxed, and then turned to other players, "Just leave them to the offensive end. Others have to do a good job in defense for me in the game, and there is no slight slack. You must know that Fiorentina's offense is not a decoration. Players such as Redondo, Effenberg, Vieri, and Ronaldo have the ability to change the trend of the game instantly. If you are not careful, we will suffer in the game."

Sure enough, no matter how many outstanding players he had accumulated on the offensive end, the head coach would always put defense first in his heart. Seeing Simeone making tactical arrangements on the bus, Batistuta sighed in his heart, and then thought about what arrangement would he make if it were Capello? Will the head coach who believes that victory is everything use any tricks in this game?

While Barti was wandering, the bus carrying Inter Milan members slowly drove into the Frankie Stadium. What awaited them was a fierce battle with Florence!

Long before this day, the Italian media had already made the atmosphere of this game extremely hot. Batistuta's first stop in Europe was Florence. In this Renaissance capital, Argentine's god of war grew from a budding star scorer to a world-class star. The Serie A best scorer, Florence's spiritual leader and captain on the field, European Golden Globe winner, and a series of dazzling championship trophys. These honors all made Batistuta's body look strong with the breath of Florence.

Therefore, when Batistuta, who has a strong Fiorentine brand, returned to the Frankie Stadium for the first time, and Inter Milan and Fiorentina are now in the top two in the league standings, this showdown will undoubtedly become the focus of attention throughout Italy and even Europe!

When both players were doing warm-up exercises on the court and reporters from various media carried various professional equipment to search for topics, a very touching scene began to take place in the stands at Frankie Stadium.

Fiorentine fans did not boo Bati because he was already a player from another family, but instead hanged many slogans and banners in the stands, in this way welcoming the former captain to visit Frankie Stadium:

"Gabriel, welcome home!"

"Where you go, the doors of Florence will always be open for you!"

Looking at these slogans and listening to the shouts from the fans of Fiorentine, Bati's eyes began to wet without realizing it, and his vision became blurred. The Argentine God of War, who realized this, quickly turned his head and wiped away the tears, while carefully avoiding the cameras that were filming around on the sidelines - he didn't want to be seen by someone to see this embarrassing scene.

"It's really Gabriel, it's completely different from ours." As if seeing the Argentinian's expression, Robert Baggio walked up and patted Bati on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "We have already transferred to Florence. Being able to send you so many fans blessings means that you still have extraordinary weight in their minds."

"Uh, Robert, I think when you returned here to play the game for the first time, the treatment you received should be similar to mine, right?" At this time, Barty had already suppressed his emotions and returned to peace and he responded, "I know that at that time you could be said to be the flesh of Florence. Being forced to sell to Juventus in the past even caused a big riot in the whole city of Florence. Besides, take a closer look, there are many slogans in the stands that welcome you back to the game."

"...So they still remember me." Baggio, who was following the direction of Batty's finger, was stunned when he saw the slogans. After a while of silence, he spoke again, "Since that's the case, we must perform well in the game. I don't want to hear others belittle the strength of any player who has played in Fiorentina."
