As time goes by September, the door to the summer transfer market is closed. With the eager expectation of countless fans, the Serie A League finally ignited as scheduled. They have prepared for a summer of all Serie A giants to show their powers in the new season and compete for a ranking that satisfies them.
In fact, as early as the day before the opening of the European Super Cup final, the Serie A teams had already completed the first round of competition. However, Zhuang Mingge was going to Monaco to participate in the Champions League grouping, so he regretfully missed the premiere of Florence's new season on the league battlefield.
As the winner of the league last season, the opening game naturally fell on Fiorentina. However, what people didn't expect was that the opponent arranged by the Italian Football Association for Purple Lily in the opening game was Venice, which had caused quite a lot of trouble for Fiorentina last season!
Zhuang Mingge has sighed a lot about this brainless decision of the Italian Football Association recently. In his opinion, it is better to arrange a strong confrontation like the opening of the league. Choosing two teams from the seven Serie A sisters is much better than the showdown between Florence and Venice.
Fiorentina's revenge battle against Venice is also very hype, which is true, but compared to the confrontation between the world-famous Serie A seven sisters, such a gimmick seems insignificant. What's more, Venice is no longer the team with two stars in the second half of last season, Recoba and Mutu. After the Uruguayan was recalled by Inter Milan, the only one left in the bottom team was left to support the team. In this case, it would be nice to not be beaten by Fiorentina, so how dare you talk about winning?
Therefore, a game like this that looks interesting but is actually without any suspense is the least suitable for being designated as the opening match. The Football Association officials who are responsible for arranging the league schedule are definitely terrified again. Can't you pick two teams from our seven sisters to play the opening match? You have to throw Venice up? When you got the league schedule for the new season of Fiorentina, Zhuang Mingge thought to himself.
The result of the game was as expected by Zhuang Mingge. Fiorentina, who played all the main players, started a big kill in this opening game. Vieri, Ronaldo and Shevchenko each scored one goal, and Effenberg scored a long shot that was icing on the cake before the end of the game, helping Zi Lily, who played at home, defeated Venice four-to-zero, avenged the revenge of the away defeat last season.
With this big victory, Fiorentina was able to defeat Inter Milan, who had three goals and scored three goals at Meyaza after the first round of Serie A, ranking first in the league standings!
There is one more thing to say about the schedule of the Serie A League, that is, the schedule of the new Serie A season is quite close. From the opening of the league on August 29 and to the end of May 14 next year, a total of 34 rounds of games will be completed in eight and a half months. Moreover, this is not the case with the Champions League, the Italian Cup and the national team, and the half-month winter break period has not been eliminated.
It is normal for the schedule to be so close. After all, next June will be the day for the European Cup. If the league is over soon, it will be possible to leave enough time for the national team to prepare and run-in.
After all, the characteristics of the Italian national team's "slow heat" in the competition are well known to the world, and everyone knows that if they cannot successfully snipe Italy in the group stage, then it will be extremely difficult to stop the Apennines from moving forward when they enter the knockout stage.
Therefore, what the national team coach Maldini and the Italian Football Association need to do is to give the international players as much time as possible to run in, thereby shortening the team's warm-up time to get into the state.
Back to the topic, after September, Fiorentina, who had spent a national team match day, began to attack at the same time in the Champions League and the league battlefield!
As Capello's successor after resigning from Florence, Heinquez's purpose is very clear, that is, to lead the Purple Lily to sweep the battlefields and make European football submission again under the light of Florence!
However, ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. After leading the team to defeat Parma and Venice in a bloody way, Heinquez, who felt good, soon ushered in the first winter of his coaching career in Florence in September in advance.
On September 11, in order to prepare for the first game of the Champions League group stage, Heinquez hid a large number of main players, resulting in a 2-2 draw with the newly-joined team Regina who was away from Granilio Stadium. The newly joined Carlaze made consecutive mistakes in defense, especially the pass for Tordo in the 70th minute of the game was intercepted by Regina's forward in the middle, which not only greatly damaged the team's morale, but also one of the main reasons why Purple Lily was tied by the opponent in this game.
Three days later, the entire Fiorentina team went north to Sweden, and they fought with last season's Swedish League champion Solna AIK club for a full ninety minutes before they exchanged white papers, ending the Purple Lily's debut in the Champions League this season with a score of zero to zero.
Although there are reasons for the away game, this is really embarrassing for Fiorentina, which is determined to win. Therefore, as the team's coach, Heinquez encountered his first crisis since coaching Fiorentina.
However, this crisis mainly comes from the media and fans. Fiorentina did not put too much pressure on the German coach, saying that one or two draws are nothing, as long as the team can win a championship trophy at the end of the season.
Therefore, although Fiorentina's performance in the Champions League and league battlefield in the past week was not satisfactory, Zhuang Mingge did not pop up at this time to put pressure on the team. Because he knew that at this time, and the season has just begun, there are still enough opportunities to regain the disadvantages brought by these two draws!
What's more, this is Heinkes' first time coaching a Serie A team. No matter how strong his ability is, it will take some time to gradually adapt to the Italian football environment. He cannot expect him to integrate the team into combat effectiveness quickly like local coaches such as Ranieri and Capello.
In fact, the ability to defeat Parma in the Italian Super Cup is thanks to the blessing of Peron's departure. Otherwise, Fiorentina, which is still in the running-in period, would be likely to be defeated by this opponent again.
