However, no matter how many new insights Cooper has in the final with Fiorentina, if he wants to put his experience into practice, it will have to happen after the start of the summer transfer period, which will not help much in reversing the situation of Valencia in this Champions League final.

No, it would be better to say that, now that the tactics were completely restrained by Fiorentina and two goals were behind on the court, Cooper had no plans to compete with Purple Lily for the championship trophy. The Argentine coach now only wants Fiorentina to give him some face so that Valencia can lose fewer goals at the end of the game. After all, if Valencia loses too badly in this final, even if Cooper leads the team to achieve a historic breakthrough, the Argentine's chance of staying in the next season will be greatly reduced.

You should know that the famous Cruyff will also shake his dominance in Barcelona for many years due to a 0-4 defeat in the Champions League final. Cooper, who is not as famous as the Dutch Flying Man in the team, naturally cannot be spared.

Perhaps some people may think that Cooper is not brave enough to do this. Without a sword-drawing spirit, he cannot bring out a truly strong team, and it also insults Valencia's signature. But don't forget that like most Valencian players, Cooper, who has only coached small clubs like Lanus and Mallorca before, also lacks the command experience of the competition! Even if he led Mallorca to the final of the European Cup of Winners last season, this fact cannot be changed!

Moreover, Valencia, coached by the Argentinian, is not a giant club. At most, it is a local tycoon that is stirring up trouble in Spain. Naturally, there is no such thing as the so-called sense of honor for the giants.

Having said that, with Cooper's conservative and stable personality, he could not really compete with Fiorentina in this game. After all, no head coach had the domineering and courage of Saki and Guardiola when he first took office, and dared to dismiss the team's ace for the purpose of establishing authority and other purposes when he first took office. (Note: Saki sold his defensive back-end Bonetti after taking office, and Guardiola sent away the two core cores of Deco and Ronaldo during the Rijcalde era)

However, although he had made up his mind, Cooper did not dare to replace the main player in a major occasion like the Champions League final and surrender to his opponent. If the Argentine really dared to do this, it would inevitably attract unanimous condemnation from fans and media who were dissatisfied with this. At that time, even if the Valencia senior executives are willing to keep the Argentine, they would have to make a decision under pressure to make a counter-intentioned decision!

Although Cooper did not make a clear statement, the team leader like Menditta still noticed some clues from the head coach's movements: "Damn, are you mistaken? The game will be over half an hour before it will end. Coach, you are planning to raise the white flag and surrender!"

Unlike Cooper who needs to think about his job, Mendieta, as a player, naturally would not consider these things. For them, the Champions League final is a very rare stage and is one of the shortcuts for them to increase their popularity!

Think about it, even superstars like Maradona have never participated in the Champions League final in their lifetime. Now they have gone through a lot of hardships to get such an opportunity. They will naturally cherish this hard-won opportunity. How could they be willing to give up easily?

Therefore, the Valencia player, who was very dissatisfied with Cooper's cowardly behavior and did not want to give up the game, naturally threw the head coach's instructions to "contract defense" behind his head and attacked the goal of Fiorentina on the court!

Seeing that his players did not obey his orders, Cooper was stunned and immediately figured out the reason. However, the Argentine, who had always attached great importance to team discipline, was not furious this time, and criticized the players' actions of not obeying the command. Instead, he shook his head helplessly, made a few gestures to Mendieta, and then sat back on the coach's seat to watch the game.

Since the players don’t want to give up, then just try it. Anyway, even if I want them to maintain the score until the end of the game, I’m afraid they are arrogant and unwilling to do so. This is the most true thought in Cooper’s mind at this moment.

In the final analysis, Cooper, who had a jingling little abacus, missed one point, that is, he did not consider the mood of the players: veterans like Angeloma and Jukic may not care about the gains and losses of this city and pool, and will minimize the losses as much as possible when the situation is over; but young and strong sects like Mendeta, Farinos, and Lopez will not think so. They would rather stand and die vigorously than spend the remaining time in a daze.

Of course, Cooper has his own plans to do this now: standing firmly on the side of the players when things cannot be done can at least reduce the chances of senior management choosing themselves when they are looking for someone to take the blame. Moreover, the pressure from fans and media will be much less, and they will also take the initiative to label him as "brave".

Since there are these benefits, why did Cooper be this evil man?

When Mendeta saw Cooper being so well, he immediately changed his position after finding out that the team's atmosphere was wrong and chose to stand on their side. The little resentment in his heart disappeared. So, the Valencia captain waved his hand and led the team to attack the gate of Fiorentina!

Seeing that Valencia's players challenged him again, Effenberg and the others would naturally not stop. So, in the remaining half hour, Valencia, who wanted to prove his strength with a goal and attacked wildly, and Fiorentina, who was calm and unhurried to continue to perform a steady defense counterattack, the two teams joined forces to stage a wonderful offensive and defensive battle for the fans on the scene!

However, since the overall configuration is not suitable for this kind of tough battle, the Valencia players' desire to win back the game was not realized until the last minute of the game. Instead, they were seized by Fiorentina in the 79th minute and counterattacked. Shevchenko, who formed a one-on-one strike, dunked over Canisales and scored the empty goal, locking the score on the field to 3-0!

Finally, when the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the warmest cheers from Florence fans came from the stands at the Grand Stadium!

After accidentally ending in the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, Fiorentina finally returned to the top of Europe after a year!
Chapter completed!
