Chapter 163 ends
The 2007/2008 season finally came to an end, and Florence has undoubtedly become the biggest winner. The league champion, Champions League champion, Coppa Italia champion, and the Triple Crown have been added. At the same time, the entire European football world was also shocked by Fiorentina's strong performance this season.
Without any risk, Fiorentina completed the treble. At the beginning of the season, Serie A experts generally believed that this would be a fiercely competitive season: Roma's strength rose steadily, and both lineups had the strength to challenge the championship. The prestige of the European champions began to compete with Inter Milan with a tie; Juventus came back from hell, and single-line combat is the biggest advantage of the Bianconeri. However, all the strong players who had high hopes disappointed people.
Compared with last season, the Roma team brought fans more hope and more surprises this season, but the final result was almost exactly the same as last season.
Champions League top 8, league third place, Italian Cup runner-up, all in all, although Roma lost one Italian Cup title this season, they still made progress in general, but did not break through, just like the replica of last season.
In terms of performance, this season Roma has more points in the league than last season, and even higher than Capello's team that won the Serie A title in the 2000/01 season.
If it weren't for Fiorentina being too strong, this would already be a championship result. Even so, in front of the already dominant Fiorentina and the strong Inter Milan, a third place in the league is not easy for the Romans.
In the Champions League, Roma eliminated Real Madrid, known as the king of Europe, and became one of the top 8 in the Champions League. Although it finally stopped in front of Manchester United, this farewell is much more decent than the 7:1 bloodbath by the Red Devils last year. .
However, for Rome, although the defeat is glorious, it is not something to be proud of. On the contrary, it is too disappointing to fall short. What's more, it is extremely rare to be able to lead the mighty Fiorentina by half a game in the final of the Coppa Italia.
However, this is not what the Romans expected. The goal of the Rossoneri is to take the Coppa Italia champion from Fiorentina openly, and even hit the league championship. ?? Stadium Maniac 163
From last summer's transfer, Roma's strength has been effectively supplemented. With the addition of powerful players such as Cicinho, Gamberini, Juan and Giuly, Roma is considered to be in the end of the season? A team that is strong enough to challenge for the championship.
And their record is really good. After the start of the league, they have been inseparable from Fiorentina, Inter Milan and Juventus.
But Roma's congenital deficiencies, the Sensi family's inability to increase their efforts in the transfer market, is doomed that Roma can't rely on superstars to decide the outcome like Inter Milan, and they don't have a Digan who can keep finding dusty pearls in the transfer market .
Spalletti's command has brought the potential of Rome to the limit. In fact, several stars introduced at a low price last summer have shown amazing energy this season. It is a miracle in itself. It is impossible to expect such success to happen in every In the summer, what is even more terrible is that there is still a danger that the main players in Rome will continue to leave.
The names of stars such as Aquilani and Mancini are all linked to the giants, but there is no really exciting news about signings. From this point of view, this season is almost the climax of this Roma performance. Roma will still be competitive next season, but it will be difficult to do better than this season.
Roma lacks stability and a lack of kingship. Last season's league runner-up and cup champion Roma is considered to be the team that most challenges Inter Milan's qualifications. The Italian Super Cup before the season beat Inter Milan to win the championship. reverie. However, after the three-game winning streak at the beginning of the season, Roma's wonder quickly faded away. The next five consecutive league rounds won only one game, and even suffered a 1-4 defeat in a direct confrontation with Inter Milan, which also benefited Fiorentina and consolidated the points. advantage on the list.
Since then, although Roma has struggled to catch up, but they have always lost their good opportunities. Roma's head coach Spalletti once said: "The biggest problem of Roma is that they are not focused enough. When facing small teams, they are always inattentive. , which made them lose a lot of points, which can be called fatal."
Especially in the middle of the season, when Roma started to attack Florence, the capital team lost points to Cagliari and Livorno, which completely ruined the hope of catching up. This also caused Roma to approach Florence several times. , but in the end it was the culprit who fell short.
Facing downstream teams that cannot score points steadily, such a team with ups and downs is of course difficult to have the last laugh in the championship competition, and this problem has plagued Roma for two seasons.
To describe it in one sentence, the current Rome has the strength of a champion, but does not have the bearing of a champion. Spalletti's team is more like a "earth emperor" who seized the hills, rather than a king with lofty aspirations.
Compared with Rome, AC Milan is like an embarrassing emperor whose lies have been exposed. Before the start of the season, I am afraid that no one would have thought that AC Milan would end the season in such a way. Although they beat Udinese in the last round, the red The Black Legion can only watch Juventus snatch the qualification for the Champions League next season. After only one season, the European and world double champions can only be "relegated" to the UEFA Cup. This is the era of Ancelotti. Milan failed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time.
Last season's Champions League champion is more like the "Emperor's New Clothes" for AC Milan. In terms of strength, AC Milan is obviously behind, but relying on the explosion of superstars in a short period of time to indulge in the dream of the strongest team in Europe, and this has actually harmed the Rossoneri this season. The failure to increase signings in the summer has already determined the failure of AC Milan this season. The Rossoneri has been humiliated frequently at the beginning of the season, and even set an embarrassing record of San Siro's half-year winless record.
In the second half of the season, AC Milan once recovered, but after a few rounds, it fell into a low ebb again due to multiple reasons such as injuries and fatigue. Even with an 8-point penalty last season, the Rossoneri were not as embarrassed as they are today.
There is no doubt that this season is a complete failure for AC Milan. This time the Rossoneri has no penalty points as an excuse, let alone respond to the ridicule of their rivals in the same city with the Champions League trophy like last season. Ironically, perhaps it was last season's Champions League champion that led to AC Milan's crushing defeat this season.
In fact, as early as last season in the league, the Rossoneri had already been exhausted. Last season, AC Milan was on the verge of relegation zone, but Ronaldo's joining saved AC Milan. With his own efforts, he pushed AC Milan back to the Champions League. Although he failed and could only rank fifth in the league, at least AC Milan had struggled last season. ?? Stadium Maniac 163
In the Champions League, Kaka's brilliant performance and Inzaghi's magical shooting skills in the final made the Rossoneri reach the top of Europe again.
The Champions League champion has obscured people's eyes and concealed all the problems exposed by the Rossoneri this season, so that Milan's management miscalculated the strength of the team in the summer transfer, not only did not Increased investment, on the contrary, did almost nothing, and finally missed the opportunity to update the team.
Seeing that the competitors are recruiting and expanding their armaments, only AC Milan will retreat if it does not advance. You must know that Milan's veterans are one year older this season. Failure is doomed from this period.
If you only look at the league, AC Milan's second half of 2007 is simply a disgrace. The worst start to the league since the 1981/82 season, the league's half-year home win, and the embarrassment of the striker's inability to score were placed in front of AC Milan. The bitter fruit of the inaction in the summer transfer has already appeared. For the above reasons, the root cause of the disease is that AC Milan's lineup has lost its thickness.
In the first half of the season, it was the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup that could hide the shame for AC Milan. Strictly speaking, this was a bonus for the Champions Cup last season, not a reward for Milan's performance this season.
It cannot be denied that winning the Club World Cup and making Milan the team with the most championships in the intercontinental competition has helped Milan relieve the pressure to a large extent, allowing them to face the rest of the league with a more relaxed attitude. From this perspective From the point of view, participating in the Club World Cup has its positive significance.
However, the Club World Cup undoubtedly brought about a negative impact, that is, AC Milan's physical fitness was exhausted faster. The hardships of traveling and traveling are not counted. For the Club World Cup, AC Milan has ushered in the devil's schedule from the beginning of the second half of the season. Milan, whose average age is too high, can't bear it. increase, the team's record fluctuates.
After the Club World Cup, Pato, who just joined, was once reminiscent of Ronaldo last season. AC Milan won 6 games in 7 consecutive league rounds, and returned to the top four in the standings.
However, as Pato and Kaka were injured successively, the Rossoneri began to decline again. From the draw with Livorno to the loss to Fiorentina at home, Milan only won 3 games in 12 consecutive league rounds. The future without the Champions League is close in sight. And in the Champions League, which has always been called Milan's best, AC Milan was also exhausted. In the 1/8 finals, it was eliminated by the youthful and invincible Arsenal, which shattered the Milanese's mentality of not paying attention to the league. comfort.
Thanks to the same poor record of Juventus in the same period, AC Milan still has a glimmer of hope. At the end of the league, Galliani issued a must-win order, requiring Milan to win all five games.
The comeback of Kaka and Pirlo's return to form once made the Milanese see the light, especially the Milan Derby ended the three-game losing streak against Inter Milan, and continued to narrow the points gap with Juventus in the standings. Red and black fans are elated.
But I didn't expect the dream to be shattered within reach. In the penultimate round, Milan lost to Naples in an away game, and gave the initiative back to Juventus. Although Milan played the best level of the season in the last round, they still had to watch Juventus. Tucci took the ticket to the Champions League.
In the final analysis, AC Milan's failure is still limited by the weak lineup. In the first battle against Naples, the core Pirlo was suspended, and Milan immediately couldn't find the rhythm of the game. It can be said that the life and death of the Rossoneri are completely controlled by Pirlo. play on top. For several years, Ancelotti has been saying that he will find a substitute for Pirlo, but the comfortable results have turned Ancelotti's request into empty talk, which turned into a bitter fruit at the end of this season.
Up to now, even qualifying for the Champions League has been a great success for AC Milan. It is a bit ironic. Last season, UEFA gave them an extra-judicial favor to qualify for the UEFA Champions League this season, but this time, they have no chance But fortunately, at the last moment, the Rossoneri seized their fate in the Milan derby, and at the same time defended their honor and dignity, so that Milan would not become a laughing stock.
But in any case, last season's UEFA Champions League title was just the last glimmer of the Milan dynasty's sunset. Now if the Rossoneri want to become a contender for the league title again, they have to start all over again. As the saying goes, what can't be broken can't be built. From this point of view, perhaps it is an opportunity for AC Milan, which has not even qualified for the Champions League this season.
Juventus was reborn in second-tier purgatory. Although AC Milan can still participate in the UEFA Cup, there is no doubt that the failure of this season is enough for them to recognize their own problems. Increasing investment, enhancing the strength and depth of the team, and speeding up the pace of replacement between old and new are the only way for the Rossoneri to get out of the trough.
Galliani said that "this season is not a complete failure, and there are still some gratifying places", but it is just a scene, and Ancelotti, who does not seem to be in danger in the coaching position, said "must supplement the strength of the team". It is the truth, and Flamini is just the beginning. Fortunately, although AC Milan is losing money, Berlusconi is not short of money. As long as the former Italian Prime Minister is willing to open his pockets, Milan will not have to wait long to return to the top.
Juventus, which has returned to Serie A, is one of the few bright spots this season. The Zebra spirit has never been lost. Juventus is also one of the teams with the most stable performance this season. Participated in the league as an identity, and never left the first group.
After the Calciopoli incident, the Juventus executives restructured, and the team also lost a large number of first-class players due to relegation. Even so, the old woman still had a rare opponent in Serie B last season, and returned to Serie A all the way smoothly.
Although it is only a temporary absence from the top league, the old woman will definitely feel a little bit of a feeling that things are right and wrong. Today's Serie A is no longer the era of Juventus and Milan in the 1990s. The rise of Florence and the strength of Inter Milan , AC Milan's downturn, Rome has always been in an awkward position between the quasi-strong team and the first-class giants, which makes the Bianconeri's expectation of returning to the top of Serie A seem a bit complicated.
Relying on the strength of Buffon, Nedved, Camoranesi, Piero, Trezeguet and other first-class stars, Juventus has always maintained a stable state throughout the long season. It has remained within the top 4 or 5 during the season and has never changed. From this point of view, Juventus's strength ranks in the top four of Serie A and deserves its name.
From the dialogue between the strong and strong, it seems that the horror of this Juventus can be seen more. Although it is still in the process of rebuilding, Juventus has few matches with Fiorentina, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Rome this season. In the league dialogue between the two main competitors, except for the double loss to Fiorentina, but in the contest with the other three opponents, they did not fall behind. Such a record is indeed at the level of the "top giants" in Serie A.
As a rich team with a long history, Juventus' goal must not be satisfied with a Champions League qualification. Although the achievements of this season are perfect, if you want to show your skills in the European arena where there are many strong players, and even regain the spirit of the Bianconeri in the mid-1990s, and cross the European continent, it is far away from the current lineup. not enough.
The outstanding performance of this season makes people believe that Juventus is not far away from returning to the top ranks. As long as the existing main team is preserved and a few top players are introduced in a targeted manner in the summer transfer, then in the next season, Juventus may "grab the class and seize power" ahead of schedule and become a challenger to the current Serie A structure. New forces".
However, despite a strong return, Juventus has not been a contender for the league championship from beginning to end. Although Juventus invested heavily last summer, the signing effect was not good. The reason why the Legion can stay at the top of the standings is the unyielding struggle of veterans left by the old Juventus such as Del Piero, Camoranesi, Trezeguet and Buffon.
However, the club has set pragmatic goals. They are not eager to return to the championship, but set the season goal on the Champions League tickets.
According to this goal, they invited the calm old coach Ranieri, and Ranieri also did a good job. In the first game back to Serie A, Juventus went on a killing spree, killing Livorno 5:1 at home.
This big victory not only indicates the official return of the Bianconeri, but also a signal to all Serie A teams, don't underestimate this "promoted horse".
In the second half of the season, the advantages of Juventus' single-line combat began to be manifested. The Bianconeri with better physical fitness gained the upper hand in several strong dialogues. It is Juventus' biggest magic weapon to highlight that it will not be dragged down by the European war.
It must be admitted that this Juventus team is the biggest highlight of Serie A this season. What is even more commendable is that a year of Serie B purgatory has not exhausted Juventus' innate kingly spirit. In key battles, Juventus still Is the most combative Italian team.
However, the gap in strength is still obvious, just as Juventus coach Ranieri said: "Purely looking at the lineup, this Juventus is far inferior to Fiorentina."
Next season, when Juventus is going to fight for the Euros in the Champions League, it is unknown whether they can still play at the level of this season in Serie A. Of course, Juventus will strengthen the lineup this summer, but I think To challenge Florence, I am afraid that relying on their own efforts is not enough.
And Moratti, who is committed to rebuilding the era of the big Inter Milan, was once again disappointed. At the beginning of the season, he was looking forward to a dynasty. This season's championship is just a flash in the pan.
The 2005/06 season was the trial champion. In addition to proving Inter Milan's innocence, it was not convincing in the competitive sense. In the 06/07 season, Inter Milan swept Serie A. It was like an adult bullying a child. Apart from Rome, there was no fair opponent.
The league championship in the 07/08 season is full of real money, but it is not Inter Milan that holds the championship trophy, but Fiorentina. After beating Inter Milan, Roma, Juventus, Milan and other strong players, Viola became the Serie A throne However, Inter Milan could only lick their wounds dejectedly.
Inter Milan has never lacked strength. Moratti has been in charge for more than ten years, superstars are like crucian carp in a river, and the Nerazzurri have always stood at the top of Serie A on paper. In the past, they have not been able to turn the champions on paper into actual champions. What Inter Milan lacks is the spiritual quality. Losing to Alpen in 1997 and hating the Olympics in 2002 are both representative works of the psychological fragility of the powerful Nerazzurri. Moggi described Inter Milan as "no eggs. Eggs". The words are harsh, but they hit the nail on the head.
This season, Inter Milan is on the road to the championship, and the old ills are still looming and have not been eradicated. When the wind is going smoothly, the Nerazzurri are unstoppable and unstoppable.
The coach is about to resign, and the stars are fighting among themselves. Although Moratti is fighting fires everywhere, it is difficult to hide the dilapidated image of Inter Milan.
After the chaos, the team did not get back on track, stopped the downward trend, and lost the championship on the occasion of the club's centennial birthday. Although Fiorentina took the lead in the first half, it was too much, but if Inter Milan is a little bit better, it will win against the weak team. Lose two points and everything will be different.
The Achilles' heel of this Inter Milan team, which is not good at tough battles, missed the opportunity to catch up with Fiorentina in the final stage, which made the defending champion look embarrassed.
The confrontation between Figo, Vieira, Ibrahimovic, Materazzi and other stars or with each other or with Mancini has been very eye-catching. How can the generals become the teacher of the king when they have different ideas?
This is rooted in the composition of Inter Milan's team. Too many foreign aids and no local core lead to a lack of cohesion in the team. In addition, Mancini's arrogance and frankness, even his own willful behavior from time to time, makes it even more difficult to control the mutual dissatisfaction. big name.
In the 2006/07 season when Inter Milan swept Serie A, it was naturally harmless. However, once a setback was encountered, the lack of a backbone immediately became the culprit of the team's collapse.
The lack of spirituality makes Inter Milan's pillars for establishing a dynasty weak. It must be admitted that the Nerazzurri this season is less resilient than before, and ultimately failed to survive the young storm of Florence.
If Moratti wants to rebuild the era of the great Inter Milan, he must first strengthen the pillars. Only in this way will the country be peaceful. This summer, Inter Milan's actions in adjusting their spiritual will will determine whether they can truly rule Serie A and establish a new international. The key to the Milan dynasty, and Mancini's departure may actually be the beginning.
Everyone admits that without Moratti, there would be no current Inter Milan. The oil tycoon has never been stingy on investment after buying the Nerazzurri that made him dream of. In the past ten years alone, Moratti has spent 440 million euros on Inter Milan's purchase of players, which does not include the high wages provided for star players.
Moratti's gold and dollar offensive brought a large number of stars to the Nerazzurri. Although Inter Milan has not been able to win the Serie A championship in the previous ten years, its influence is not inferior to AC Milan and Juventus. This is due to the countless superstars that Moratti brought to the team.
In the past two seasons, stars such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Vieira and Chivu, who have played a key role in Inter Milan's dominance of Serie A, only put on the blue and black jersey under Moratti's spending a lot of money.
It's just that the pure superstar policy proved to be a failure. Inter Milan has not been able to make a breakthrough through the stars, and Moratti has been criticized for excessively directing the team.
The failure of this season may have made Moratti realize that enthusiasm alone cannot bring victory, and more standardized and rational management is the key to the club's success.
In fact, since last season, Moratti has not been like when he was in charge of Inter Milan in the early days, frequently dictating the club's daily work. Although within the Nerazzurri, there is still a habit of directly talking to Moratti when encountering problems, but this is a long-standing habit formed by the club for many years, which can only be gradually improved, and cannot be completely eliminated overnight.
Of course, decentralization does not mean letting go. When Inter Milan fell into the unprecedented chaos and trough in the past two years in the second half of the season, Moratti should have come out in time to turn the tide and stabilize the situation, but he did not. Do.
It is precisely because of this that the subsequent riots in Inter Milan were triggered. First of all, Mancini resigned without warning and irresponsibly. Inter Milan was in a mess, and then the coach blamed the players, and the players blamed the coach, which made the atmosphere in the Inter Milan team even more smoky. In the end, Moratti drove Mancini away in a rage. It made Inter Milan lose the last bit of energy.
Before the start of the season, the four big teams that people were more optimistic about fell one after another. To everyone's surprise, Fiorentina took the opportunity to rise and won the Triple Crown. Fiorentina achieved a height that those giants were unable to achieve. After that, more people began to study this young guard holding high the Viola banner, trying to find out the secret of their success.
The first is the lineup. Because of the rotation policy that Prandelli insists on, it is difficult for people to determine an eleven-man main lineup for Fiorentina this season. On the defensive line, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Ranocchia each played. For half a season, midfielder Motta was the absolute main force at the beginning of the season, but was gradually replaced by Arteta after being injured. Hamsik played an outstanding role in the first half of the season, and Montolivo returned to the main force since February.
The heavy field forced Prandelli to almost use two teams to play in the league, relying on the thickness of the lineup to overcome difficulties, and the strength of Fiorentina's substitute this season has been more fully reflected.
Last season, only Albertini retired as the main player. Gamberini, Liverani, and Jorgensen, who were not the main players, left, and then added Modric and Arteta in the summer transfer market. Both Fiorentina and Marchena played an effective role in the rotation. The transfer cost of Fiorentina was not much, but the depth of the bench was stronger than last season.
In terms of tactics, Prandelli insisted on using the idea of 4312, but there are flexible changes in the actual league. When Motta and Montolivo were injured, Prandelli also changed the formation to 442. Modric and Hamsik took charge of the two wings to ensure the balance of offense and defense, which achieved good results.
During the period of intensive competition in the middle and late stages of the league, Prandelli earned enough points by relying on the counterattack tactics. Although the scene was ugly, it was effective. The strength of Fiorentina is not stronger than last year. Fortunately, Prandelli is very familiar with the team, and several newcomers have integrated into the team relatively smoothly. Stability is a key element for Fiorentina to achieve the treble.
However, compared with the former Serie A champions, the opponents that Fiorentina defeated this season are not strong enough. After Juventus returned to Serie A, their strength is not what it used to be. At the same level, Inter Milan has spent the entire season in constant internal friction and contradictions.
Compared with Inter Milan last season, this season's league champion Fiorentina has not been substantially threatened. Their advantage in the league is more due to the regression of their opponents than to their own progress.
However, Fiorentina has done a good job in team building in the last two seasons. With the help of Digan, Fiorentina has selected cheap and high-quality players in the transfer market. New players such as Modric, Arteta and Marchena The aid is a fresh force in the prime of life, and the young player Ranocchia stands out, which is even more eye-catching. It can be said that Fiorentina's youthful construction has far surpassed their competitors.
But can Fiorentina defend their title next season?
The outlook is not optimistic!
The impact of Juventus is astonishing. The lineup will continue to strengthen next season. AC Milan is holding back its breath to revive its glory. Inter Milan is absolutely not reconciled to being just a flash in the pan. The three giant clubs are bound to sign heavyweight stars in the transfer market. Once Berlusconi and others make up their minds and sign up at all costs, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on Fiorentina.
However, these are just conjectures. Fiorentina definitely feels like a super-dominant team with a young and complete lineup. The owner of the club, Delaware, is willing to invest. Of course, the credit of Prandelli is also indispensable. .
The triple crown is not only unique in the history of the Fiorentina club, but also the first time in the history of Italian football. It was Prandelli's meticulous management over the past three years that gave Fiorentina the awareness of the winner, and he asked the team to do the same. This ensures that the team has a serious attitude, and at the same time, he also has a great fighting spirit for his own work.
First of all, Prandelli single-handedly created the awareness of this Fiorentina strong team. Almost no matter what lineup is used, Fiorentina can win the game that should be won in a crisis. Prandelli created a team framework that can be changed at any time, and everyone in this framework knows how to run and what to do. Prandelli is also one of the few coaches who can not only change formations in different games, but also in different periods of the same game. The biggest hobby of the coach of "color".
Conscientiousness is another treasure of Prandelli leading the team. No matter who it is, every player who is sent to the field is extremely serious and professional. Don't misunderstand the foul language that blurted out when the player was replaced. This is the adjustment of every management. That's part of the price to pay for coaches with a lot of stars. Normal attitude is what really counts, whether in the league, the Coppa Italia or the UEFA Champions League, Fiorentina's performances have added luster to their own shirt and game.
The 2007/2008 season is over, and various selection activities have also appeared. Italy's most authoritative "Gazzetta dello Sport" and several other media have selected the best team for this season.
Goalkeeper: Frey!
Although Buffon's return to Serie A has made the competition for the best goalkeeper more intense, but looking at the entire season, Frey deserved to be the best. Florence's treble dominance this season, Frey contributed a lot. Leidu saved Fiorentina's victory with world-class saves. If Fiorentina does not have Frey this season, it will be unknown whether they can successfully crown the Triple Crown.
Defenders: Maicon, Thiago Silva, Ziellini, Antonini!
Maicon's defensive ability is quite outstanding, and he has become the best successor to Zanetti. At the same time, Maicon's dribbling "piercing" in the offense is a magic weapon for Inter Milan to break the deadlock. At the same time, his worth of 6 million euros, It also made Maicon a big bargain picked up by Inter Milan.
The central defenders chose Ziellini and Thiago Silva. Of course, Ziellini was selected. A big factor was that Kompany was absent for half the season due to injury. Due to the injury, he was forced to move to the central defender position. As a result, Ziellini shined in this position and was even selected for the national team. Although he is tall, Ziellini's speed is not slow. The tackle ability is excellent, and when the team gets a set kick, Ziellini can also insert a header and score.
Thiago Silva has shined this season. Last season, he seemed a little frizzy at the beginning of his joining. Now he has completed a rebirth. Not only has he contributed a lot on the defensive end, but this season, Thiago Silva He also scored five goals in the league. Now in the set-piece tactics, he and Kompany rotate to grab points, which has become a great weapon in Fiorentina's offense.
Zambrotta's departure left Serie A without an excellent left-back, but Antonini's sudden emergence in this position this season is absolutely surprising. Antonini's speed is not fast and his body is not strong, but his The offensive and defensive ability is very average, and the quality of the cross from the left is very high. Now AC Milan has offered a transfer fee of tens of millions. I hope to get this young player who has gone out of the Milan youth training camp. Although he has not yet been selected for the national team experience, but I believe that in the upcoming European Cup, the Italian national team should have a place for him.
Midfielders: Modric, Ledesma, Hamsik!
After joining Fiorentina, Modric didn't even go through an adaptation period. He has maintained a high competitive state since the first game. Now he has become the organizer of Fiorentina's offense. After Montolivo and Motta were injured one after another , the Croatian teenager and entertainer supported Fiorentina's midfield organization task. After being transformed by Prandelli as the city's midfielder, Modric showed excellent offensive and defensive abilities in the midfielder position.
If Modric supports the organizational task of Fiorentina's midfield, then Ledesma is his best assistant. His active fighting and wide-ranging running in the midfield have protected Fiorentina's defense very well. , At the same time, Ledesma's ability to get in and break the goal is also very good. He has scored key goals many times in the game. Now Ledesma has become an indispensable role in the Fiorentina midfielder "color".
Last season, Fiorentina bought the young Hamsik from Brescia. At that time, Prandelli said that Hamsik was a player they were looking at for the future. Facts have proved Prandelli's prediction. In this season's Serie A, after Montolivo was injured, Hamsik became a sharp dagger hidden behind Degan. This season, he scored nine goals for Fiorentina in the league and dedicated Ten assists, his performance was absolutely world-class.
Forwards: Mutu, Digan, Del Piero!
Degan doesn't need to go into too much detail, just look at his scoring efficiency, if he can't be selected for the best team, it can't be justified.
In addition to Digan, Mutu is definitely the most important player on Fiorentina's front line. Mutu finally scored 15 goals in 38 rounds. His outstanding performance for two consecutive seasons has made the Juventus executives even more regret selling the Romanians. When Pacini was injured and Cavinaghi's scoring efficiency was not high, Mutu and Degan supported Fiorentina's striker together. Viola won the Triple Crown, and Mutu contributed a lot.
After returning to Serie A with Juventus, Del Piero has a second spring. He has scored 21 goals this season, tying his career Serie A scoring record, and only ranked second in the scoring list. After Gan, the 34-year-old "old" Del Piero is still in such a state today, which is really amazing.
The curtain fell slowly, and the powerful and powerful summed up the gains and losses of this season, and then the next thing to do was to continue to accumulate strength and prepare for a new round of sprints next season. For players like Degan, the club's mission, They are over. Next season, he and his teammates will definitely face greater challenges. Next, they have to prepare for the European Cup.
