Chapter 162 Triple Crown

Chapter 162 Triple Crown

On the day of the Coppa Italia final, there was a sudden heavy rain, as if it was for the change of dynasty in Florence. As a result, in the heavy rain, Florence won the Coppa Italia championship trophy for the sixth time, although this season, Florence has tasted two more important The taste of the championship, but this time there is a big difference.

The triple crown, after a big battle, Florence finally had the last laugh and defeated the opponent. Of course, they can also have three fires. The opponent they defeated was themselves.

Perhaps no one wants to see Fiorentina crowned the Triple Crown. Fiorentina's opponent Roma, for this victory, can be said to have taken great pains. In order to call on the fans to support them, Roma reduced the ticket price to one euro. There were no empty seats, and the shouts were like waves. The pressure on Florence can be imagined.

The pressure increased again after the opening eight minutes. A counterattack by Roma, Totti went straight into the penalty area, Vucinic succeeded in countering offside, pushed the far corner of the goal, and went down first.

In the next game, Roma, who were fighting desperately, continued to exert tremendous pressure on Fiorentina. Totti's goal from the small penalty area was blocked by Fiorentina's goalkeeper Luparte with his legs, followed by Panucci's. Totti's cross almost spun into the goal after a head-shaking attack barely skimmed in front of the far post.

In this game, Prandelli sent the entire rotation lineup, goalkeeper Lupatelli, left back Antonini, center back partners are Dainelli and Ujfalusi, right back Macho, midfielder Donade Er, Arteta and Marchena, the midfielder Hamsik, and the forwards are Mutu and Pacini.

Facing Roma's frenzied attack, the flustered Fiorentina could only kick up frequently, and continued to attack after the ball was frequently taken by Roma. Pacinier, who was hit late, kicked into the stands. Arteta picked a pass and tore apart the opponent's defense, but Hamsik, who quickly inserted, did not choose to pass to the unguarded Pacini in the middle, but He directly volleyed high from a small angle, and Pacini's own outflanking shot in front of the goal also kicked goalkeeper Doni.

After the intermission, Fiorentina players filed out from the channel with serious faces. Roma still leads 1-0. If they want to achieve the ultimate goal of the treble, there is only time left for Fiorentina 45 minutes.

When Pacini wasted another chance, Prandelli finally replaced Digan, and this substitution became a turning point for Fiorentina.

The opportunity appeared in the 62nd minute. Degan broke through the old Fiorentina player Gamberini in the middle, and scored with a tricky and low shot from the front of the penalty area.

Delava, who had been watching the game with a tense face in the stands, was completely released at this time. He shook hands and high-fived the Fiorentina fans in front of him, cheering like ordinary fans. At this time, Fiorentina had seen The dawn of victory.

This is somewhat ironic. The head coach of Roma once said before the game that "Gamberini is familiar with all Fiorentina's offensive players and is our secret weapon." Degan's goal happened to break through Gamberini's defense. .

After the goal, Fiorentina's ability has been completely released. If the previous Fiorentina only played 60%, then after Digan played, Fiorentina played at least 90% of the skill. Digan, Mutu, Hamsik The others made threats in front of the door one after another.

In the 79th minute, after Degan missed a single-handed goal, Fiorentina launched a second attack in the frontcourt. Degan's volley from the back point sealed the victory. At this time, Prandelli jumped from his seat and shouted At this time, Degan was pressed on the rainy ground by his teammates.

The game entered "garbage time" in an instant, the fans of Rome were "waiting to die" in pain, while Florence was enjoying the joy of waiting for the end of the game.

At this moment, the championship almost belonged to Fiorentina. The moment the final whistle sounded, Fiorentina fans frantically poured into the arena. Although it was in Rome, as a Fiorentina fan, how could such a game be missed?

Fiorentina fans blocked the players' way to the tunnel, the Stadio Olimpico, and while the Fiorentina players celebrated, the Roma fans and players were saddened by the fact that the team had a fruitless season.

Degan was surrounded by the most Fiorentina fans. His No. 9 jersey had already been taken away by the fans. The fans patted the shoulders of the heroes in their hearts and even kissed them. The rain and tears of happiness mixed together.

Who can imagine that just a few years ago, this team almost disappeared completely. At that time, what people remember most is the helpless eyes of Nuno Gomez and the painful tears of Fiorentina fans. Now it is replaced The most important thing is the cheers of Degan and his teammates, the scene of celebration.

Triple Crown! Fiorentina, reborn from the ashes, has stood at the apex of Italian football.

At this moment, the first treble in the history of Italian football was born, but only Florence seemed to be happy. After winning the championship, Prandelli revealed the fact he heard: "When Roma scored, I It was like hearing fans from all over Italy except Fiorentina cheering."

De La Valle also said in an interview: "Non-Fiorentina fans all over Italy are on the side of Rome, but this makes us even more proud."

This is not an exaggeration. Inter Milan, AC Milan players and Juventus all publicly expressed their support for Roma before the Italian Cup final, especially Juventus and Roma have always been rivals. There was once an Italian authority Media surveys show that Roma fans hate Juventus more than they hate Lazio.

But this time the former rivals stood together, because they didn't want the upstart Fiorentina to reach the top of Italian football.

When did Florence become the public enemy of all Italy?

Power leads to envy?

This is the idea of ​​the Fiorentina players, but it is somewhat one-sided. This season, Fiorentina won the championship from the very beginning of the league with a disparity. dominant.

Fiorentina's strong performance in the Champions League may be acceptable to them, but Fiorentina's strong dominance in the league makes them unbearable.

For Italian football who are used to the "Seven Sisters" to the "Four Giants", whether it is fans or public opinion, it may be difficult to accept such a league without competition, so they are extremely eager for the appearance of spoilers.

This season, people once pinned their hopes on Inter Milan, but it turned out to be a joke. Because of the right time, place and many factors, Rome may really be able to break the wrist with Florence, so the whole of Italy is almost unanimously standing. Here in Rome. As a result, any mistakes made by Florence were put under the microscope.

Just like in this season's league, although Fiorentina has been very strong from the beginning to the end, in fact, they are not easy, people just regard them as upstarts, and because of their strength, Fiorentina has incurred the siege of the whole Serie A.

Of course, this is not a normal phenomenon. In order to get rid of the image of "public enemy of all Italy", Fiorentina needs to continue to establish a higher image in the European arena, so that the entire Italian football world understands that Italian football is behind Telephone Gate. body.

Florence finally won. After defeating Rome, when Degan lifted the Coppa Italia high, he shouted and told the world: Florence is coming!

Before the start of this season, no one would have thought that Fiorentina could really get to where it is today, but if you analyze it carefully, everything seems logical.

This season has come to an end, and Fiorentina should now focus on the next season. The teams that can challenge Fiorentina's status next season are Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus and Roma.

The problem of AC Milan's aging personnel this season has been completely exposed, and the striker also lacks capable personnel. This makes Milan's overall strength this season not very strong, and it has to deal with multi-line operations, plus Pirlo, Gattuso, and Gilardino. These international footballers have to deal with the national team competition, so they couldn't support it in the middle of the game, so it is expected that the ranking is not high.

AC Milan needs to add fresh blood as soon as possible and make a relatively large supplement to the lineup, so that it may appear as a strong team again next season.

Now it seems that AC Milan is actively approaching new players in the forward and midfield, but it has never made any moves in the defense, which makes people feel a little strange. If the defense does not add some capable young players, then the prospect of next season is still the same There will be shadows. In short, it is time for Milan to change its blood. However, AC Milan will not be able to play in the Champions League next season, and they should be serious contenders for the championship.

After the league ended, Galliani once said that AC Milan will forget the failure and turn to the construction of the new season.

Galliani said: "From now on, we will start preparing for next season and plan for the transfer market. Our goal is to maintain the existing team's skeleton while allowing the team to be strengthened so that the team To regain competitiveness in Serie A and Europe, I believe we can build a strong team."

Regarding the transfer, Galliani made an important promise: "There will be a big-name defender, a big-name midfielder, and a big-name striker joining the team, and we will have 6 to 7 new players. Milan fans don't have to worry about the future of the team, I always say that the number one fan of AC Milan is Berlusconi, AC Milan will always be at the top level."

The teenager Pato is the biggest gain for Milan this season. In half a season, he scored nine goals. In the future of AC Milan, he will undoubtedly be an important force.

Roma is more mature this season than last season, and they also achieved good results in the Champions League. Although they failed to make it to the top in the final stage, the current results with Roma's staffing should be said to have brought into play the potential of the team. It can be said Spalletti's use of troops is still very successful. The reason why Roma's performance has not reached the peak is mainly because the depth of the bench is not enough, including the main players are not the best in Europe or even Italy, and the substitute players are even worse. This level should be said to be quite good.

One of Roma's outstanding performances this season is Vucinic. In the case of Totti's injury, Vucinic can step up and become a scorer. Compared with last season's weak state, Vucinic's performance this season very nice.

In addition, the important achievement of Roma this season is Juan. The combination of Juan and Mex should be said to be a very successful combination in Serie A. Under Roma's open style of attacking with all their strength, they can keep the number of goals conceded. It has a lot to do with Juan's joining.

The other one is Cassetti, who plays a very good role in the defense. Roma wants to hit the Champions League final and the Serie A championship next season, so personnel need to be supplemented.

The personnel introduced by Juventus at the beginning of this season made people place great hopes. Andrade, Almiron, etc., soon found that these people were useless. Fortunately, Juventus made supplements in the winter. Especially after the introduction of Sissoko, the midfielder finally showed a relatively stable strength, especially at the end of the season, the double midfielder composed of Sissoko and Camoranesi strengthened Juventus' offense and defense. In the absence of Nedved, the combination of the two played an important role.

In addition, Salihamidzic is also a player with excellent offense and defense, and it is also a very important chess piece if used properly. Nedved still maintains tenacious hard work and has been a strong driving force in Juventus's midfield before he was injured. In addition, Zanetti and others can play a defensive role in the midfield, and Thiago also has a role in offense. The performance, judging from the current Juventus personnel, is still quite complete, but the depth of the bench is slightly insufficient.

Del Piero on the striker regained his form after the contract renewal, his spirit was greatly relaxed, and he showed his due level. There are a lot of balls, but it is uncertain whether he can maintain his state next season. The joining of Iaquinta has given Juventus a strong substitute in the center position. Even if Trezeguet can't top, Iaquinta is also a good choice. There is also the teenager Palladino. It should be said that Juventus' striker next season will still be considerable.

The shortcoming of Juventus is his defense line. Lerothale can still play the main force, but he always feels like an unstable factor. Ziellini is a good defender, but he lacks a more reliable companion. .

Buffon is a huge guarantee for Juventus' defense. Anyone who shoots in front of Buffon will feel invisible pressure. The fact that Juventus concedes very few goals has a lot to do with Buffon's super ability.

The returned Juventus has adapted to the rhythm of Serie A and should perform better next season. However, Juventus will have to fight on two fronts next season. With the current lineup, it may be more difficult. Can they compete for the championship in the league? , is still a question mark.

There is also Inter Milan. Although they failed to defend their title, their ability cannot be ignored. The three lines are neatly staffed, and Moratti has promised to invest heavily in the team and introduce new players. At the same time, Mancini left, Murray Neo is about to take over and will also bring more vitality to Inter Milan. Whether the Nerazzurri Empire can be established next season is crucial.

Of course, these are things that need to be considered in the future. What Fiorentina has to do now is to enjoy their treble.

When the team returned with honor, the whole team boarded the roof of the parade bus that had been prepared long ago, and showed their fruitful results of this season to the tens of thousands of Fiorentina fans who flocked there, the whole Fiorentina went crazy.

The parade and celebration team can be seen everywhere in the city, and finally gathered in the square in front of the office building of the Florence city government, and the cheers of "Long live" were heard endlessly.

As the head coach of Fiorentina, Prandelli was pushed to the front of the microphone by the players. Because of his excitement, the handsome old Italian man pondered for a while before he spoke: "I would like to thank everyone, the staff of the club, members of my coaching staff, Players and of course you, you fans who have supported us all the time, you are the foundation of the Viola, the season is over, what we achieved is in front of us, now is the time to enjoy the victory and cheer Let's have a reason to enjoy today and then next season, let's move on!"

The next one to come to the fore is Degan. No one will deny Degan's contribution to the Viola Young Guards. This season, he has scored 45 goals for Fiorentina in the league, and he has won the best for four consecutive seasons. At the same time, because of Degan, Florence was injected with a strong heart. Under his leadership, Florence also defeated many powerful enemies and was finally crowned the Triple Crown.

"I've always said we're not going to stop, now we're treble winners, but we're not going to stop, we have more work to do, more honors to come Let's go for it, it will be a very long process, we will gain more championships, yes! As Coach Prandelli said just now, we want to thank you, you cheered for us in the stands, This gives us infinite strength, and it also makes us always remember that the mission we shoulder, Fiorentina will not stand still here, our goal is to become the most powerful team in the world, next season, we There will be more champions!"

The fans were already too excited to contain themselves. After Degan finished his speech, the crowd burst into cheers immediately.

"Long live! Rhodes! Long live! Florence!"
