Chapter 778: The Impact of Being Out
PS: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books do not require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~
At the post-match press conference, reporters from all over the world were gathered on the scene with long guns and short cannons, hoping that the head coaches of both sides could expose some hot news at this press conference so that they had enough materials and wrote a press release that was enough to attract the attention of fans.
After all, this is the first time since Zhuang Mingge entered Fiorentina, Purple Lily has not entered the finals of the Champions League, and it is also the first time in the past five years that it has not entered the finals of the European Cup three times. It also directly ruined the team's hope of four consecutive championships in the Champions League. It cannot be said that it is not a big news.
Although the reporters were very excited and looked forward to getting more worthy of information at the press conference, what disappointed them was that the head coaches of these two teams did not cooperate with their work.
At the press conference held after this game, Capello and Heathfield were both quite calm. The former did not say anything unconvincing at the press conference because they were reversed by Bayern at the last moment, and the latter did not denounce Capello's cunning and shamelessness because the Fiorentine players repeatedly used some irrelevant tactical fouls to destroy their offensive rhythm in the game. Both coaches praised the opponent's players at the same time, making this press conference that many people think should be tense. Those who don't know might think that these two teams just had a friendly match.
Redondo and Rui Costa, who were brought to the press conference by Capello and Heathfield, were not afraid of the world's chaos. Although the Argentine was sad because the team lost a good game, and the Portuguese felt secretly happy because they led the team to defeat their old club, under the constraints of the head coach, they would not make any discord here.
The reason why Capello and Heathfield are so tacitly aware is mainly because the big boss behind them, that is, Zhuang Mingge and Beckenbauer, has a very close personal relationship, so the employees below naturally have to give their boss enough face to avoid making their immediate boss Long Yan unhappy because of this trivial matter.
In this way, amid the dissatisfaction and resentment of a group of reporters, an extremely harmonious post-match press conference came to an end.
However, although no news was discovered after the game, the news that Fiorentina was eliminated by Bayern Munich in the Champions League was enough to make them stir up a lot of turmoil in the European football world.
So, when Fiorentina tied two to two in the Champions League semi-finals the next day, and finally got out of Bayern Munich by the disadvantage of few away goals, the news that it immediately caused a super earthquake of 8th magnitude in European football!
However, in addition to being shocked, the leaders of major European families also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these guys in Florence are indeed earthlings and will lose, rather than a group of monsters who will never lose key battles.
In this way, as long as the team's head coach can make their players perform their talents, and at the same time, the tactics are used properly and the team's personnel configuration reaches the level they should be, then other teams have the opportunity to defeat Fiorentina. Instead, as people imagined before, Florence's strength has reached the level of being the only one in the world. Once they are serious, other teams will have no room for resistance at all.
Having said that, if Fiorentina really makes it to the Champions League final for four consecutive years and wins the final championship trophy, will the other teams still survive? Did all the teams work hard for a season to buy a spectator and watch Florence celebrate on the podium?
If we are facing this cruel reality, the attractiveness of the European Champions League to other teams will decrease significantly, causing a series of unpredictable negative effects. After all, no one is willing to play the role of accompanying the prince every year.
At the same time, Florence, especially Zhuang Mingge himself, also realized through the team's elimination, that the gap in strength between Zi Lily, who swept the European football world in the past, is now narrowing with other giants, and realized that if they no longer find ways to strengthen the team, then Florence will sooner or later be surpassed by other teams.
This is what is called sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.
Therefore, Fiorentina's failure to return in the semi-finals of the Champions League this time is not all bad things.
Through the team's performance on all fronts this season, especially in the last game against Bayern, the Florence management led by Zhuang Mingge understands that the team is not perfect and there are still shortcomings, and they need to start strengthening them; other clubs have seen through Bayern Munich's living example that Fiorentina is not a monster who will not lose, and rebuilds its confidence in competing for the Champions League trophy; UEFA, as the organizer of the event, was greatly relieved. Although Fiorentina's three-game winning streak has indeed brought a large number of new fans to European football, if Zi Lily continues to win this consecutive championship, the Champions League will lose its due appeal because it is occupied by a certain team for a long time.
For an event, there is nothing more terrifying than losing its appeal to fans. Lack of fans' attention means not getting high broadcast and sponsorship contracts; and without these necessary material foundations and fans' attention, the team will naturally lack the enthusiasm to participate, thus forming a vicious cycle.
The most exciting thing is that Juventus and Manchester United, who have not yet competed in the second leg, have learned that Fiorentina lost, and the two teams are ready to take advantage of the opportunity of Fiorentina being eliminated to reach the final, then defeat their opponent Bayern Munich in the final, and win back the European Champions League, which symbolizes the highest honor among European clubs!
The little abacus that Juventus and Manchester United clubs have played in their minds will not be discussed here, but the topic will return to Florence.
If you are sure to miss the Champions League final, although there will be three rounds of Serie A, this is actually insignificant for Fiorentina, which has won the Serie A championship three rounds ahead of schedule. After all, regardless of winning or losing, the results of these three games will not affect their final ranking in the league standings.
