Chapter 924 Before the Finals (Part 2)
PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~
PS2: Some urgent matter happened at home. The elders were hospitalized and went to the hospital for half a night to take care of them. So today I updated late. I’m sorry for everyone...
Faced with Lazio whose morale was completely suppressed by his side, the Fiorentine player took this opportunity to vent his anger and launched a bloody massacre against the Blue Eagles this night!
First, Vieri and Inzagi, who started the game, scored one goal each in the first half, helping Fiorentina lead the Blue Eagles 2-0 at the end of the first half. Then, in the 48th minute of the game, Effenberg hit a long-range shot that was 40 meters away from Lazio's goal, expanding the score on the field to 3-0!
Effenberg's world wave completely lost Lazio's only morale. The Blue Eagle player who realized that he could not recover the defeat became even more depressed in the following time. Although he had not yet given up on the game, the momentum of winning the double championship before the game had disappeared. The players were more routinely dealing with the game on the court, rather than trying to lead the team out of the predicament!
It's no wonder that Lazio has now had a championship trophy base. For many of them, the most important thing is the European Cup that will be held in June. Therefore, if they are too dead and injured in this game and miss this quadrennial event, they will be in tears.
Facing Lazio's side, who had no fighting spirit, the Fiorentine player continued to beat the dog while the iron was hot. Shevchenko, who appeared as a substitute Inzaghi in the 65th minute of the game, staged a good show of scoring twice in just fifteen minutes, expanding Fiorentina's lead to as many as five goals!
If Nedved hadn't assisted Cruise in the 82nd minute of the game and scored some face for the Blue Eagles, then when the game ended, Lazio would have no fig leaf left!
In the end, when the final whistle sounded, Fiorentina, who was at the Frankie Stadium, won a big victory in the first leg of the Italian Cup final. The five-to-one score on the big screen was like a big slap, slapped Lazio in the face, hitting them with confidence before the game so much that they were full of stars!
After seeing this murderous score, most fans did not think that Lazio still has the possibility of winning the double championship - perhaps when Fiorentina was distracted from the European game, Lazio could also take advantage of loopholes to narrow the gap between Purple Lily and overtake it in one fell swoop; but if Fiorentina begins to concentrate on using the main lineup to deal with it, the gap between the Blue Eagles and the top team will be fully exposed.
Although Lazio still has theoretical hope of turning the tables, almost no one thinks that the Blue Eagles have the ability to turn the tables in the second round. Not to mention anything else, just the huge advantage of Fiorentina's four-ball goal when the two teams met in the first round was enough to make the Blue Eagles' dream of winning the championship shatter!
It can be said that if there is no accident in the second leg, then the Italian Cup championship this season is already the treasure of Florence!
At the same time, the headquarters building of Cirio's company located on Valenziani Street in Rome, Cranioti, who was excited about the team's successful league championship a few days ago, was furious in his office. Lazio's performance in the first leg of the Italian Cup final made him realize that compared to those top teams, the Blue Eagles still have many shortcomings and need him to start strengthening in the days to come.
In order to allow Lazio to grow into a team that can compete with these top giants as soon as possible, Cranioti decided to continue to invest heavily in the transfer market this summer to further enhance the team's strength.
A week later, in the second round of the Rome Olympic Stadium, the Lazio player who lost the first leg of the game did not show his fighting spirit to turn the tables at home. Lazio head coach Eriksson even hid Nedved, Stankovic, Consicao and other players when arranging the starting list. In this way, he told Fiorentina that he had already admitted defeat in advance. Please give them some face in this game, so as not to avoid Lazio losing too badly at his doorstep, and other unharmonious situations such as fan riots in the game.
"So I said, Jose, a team like Lazio who is willing to admit defeat in advance in the game, will never become a top-level team." Faced with Eriksen's weak move, Heinkes naturally would not refuse, but in private, he still expressed his views to Mourinho. "Now I have a little doubt that leading Lazio to complete a reversal is not worthy of Eriksen at all, and it is entirely due to the performance of those players."
"You are right. No matter what, as a giant, it is absolutely impossible for a giant to surrender to its opponent in advance before the game has started." Mourinho nodded, agreeing with Heinx's view, and said, "It seems that as long as Eriksson continues to serve as the head coach of Lazio, the Blue Eagles will never be able to become a team that can compete with us. Because for a giant, he is too weak."
Some people may say that coaches like Ancelotti and Ranieri are also very "soft". Why can they lead the giants to play well, but Eriksen is completely unfair? The reason is very simple, because Ancelotti and their softness are mainly reflected in interpersonal communication, rather than leading the team to play games. On the court, Fatty An and the others also have their pride and dignity, and they will never deliberately give up the game.
Now turn your attention back to the game. Although Eriksen did not say it clearly, the Lazio player is not a fool. The Swedish coach's move to hide the main players undoubtedly sent them a pretty clear signal, that is, he intends to give up the final of the Italian Cup.
So, after noticing that the head coach raised the white flag and announced his surrender, and the lack of steel fighters like Nedved on the court, the Blue Eagles, who had no fighting spirit, lost to Fiorentina in this matchup with one goal, and lost the Italian Cup final by 1-6 with a total score!
Chapter completed!
