Chapter 126 The Prodigal Son Turns Back

Degan is no stranger to the Meazza stadium. This season alone, he has come here for the third time. The previous two times he led Fiorentina to victory. The opponent at that time was AC Milan. , This time it became Inter Milan.

Although before the game, Degan and his teammates were able to suppress their excitement and tried to convince themselves that this was just an ordinary game, but at this point in the league, when the championship is within reach , Calm down, that's just self-deception.

Degan stood in the center circle, moving his hands and feet, while waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game. He couldn't wait any longer. All he was thinking about now was to crush the opponent in front of him, and then beat the league champion to the ground. The trophy in his arms.

"Calm down! Rhodes!" Standing in front of Digan, Mutu laughed.

Because Pacini has just recovered from injury, although he has played against Regina and performed a hat-trick, there is no way to shake Mutu's main position.

Seeing that Mutu smiled, Degan was a little surprised. In the Fiorentina team, the relationship between the two is not close. At least compared with Pacini, Mutu always gives people a very cold feeling.

Mutu can be said to have become famous as a teenager, and he was recruited by Inter Milan early, but he failed to succeed in Inter Milan. Later, he did not usher in the glory of his career until he met Prandelli in Parma period.

Fame is followed by depravity. After the high-priced transfer to Chelsea, the arrogant Romanian talent is still very eye-catching. He is one of the few non-British players who achieved success in the early days of the Chelsea Rubles.

But off the field, Mutu is a complete villain. After being tested positive for the urine sample, the conflict with the head coach Mourinho broke out completely. Mutu even told reporters that he could hardly bear it. Beat Mourinho.

Mourinho, who had just entered Stamford Bridge at the time, made an indirect criticism of his predecessor Ranieri's strategy of buying players, saying that the purchase of Romanian striker Mutu was a mistake at all, and said that the club should pay more attention to future transfer work. Lesson learned.

Mutu then said angrily to reporters: "I did warn Mourinho, if he goes to Romania, I will not let him have a good time, even for a while, I couldn't help but... beat him up."

Mourinho was furious after hearing Mutu's remarks. In addition to clarifying that he had no responsibility in the Mutu incident, he also unceremoniously pointed out that signing Mutu was a mistake.

Mourinho said: "Chelsea made a serious mistake by spending huge sums of money to buy Mutu from Parma, but before I took over Chelsea, Mutu has come here, so this is not my fault. For bringing him For those who come here, sometimes 2 plus 2 does not equal 4 in the football world. When you spend a lot of money to buy a player, you should not have the mentality of giving it a try. You should be clear about the purpose of buying him. You Don't know if he likes it here and if it's acceptable here, but you have to try to understand that in training. When a player looks tired on the training ground, can't concentrate, or even lies to avoid training for other purposes, it must be his There's something wrong with his spare time, and that's when you should pay attention to him."

Mourinho's words were obviously aimed at Mutu, who lied to Ranieri in order to return to Romania to join the team.

Because of the drug incident, the discredited Mutu subsequently received a dismissal letter from the Chelsea club. Mutu also admitted to the FA officials that he was a long-term drug addict and admitted that this drug-taking behavior this year. It had started earlier, with experts saying it meant cocaine toxins were still in Mutu's body while playing certain matches for Chelsea.

According to some people familiar with the matter, it was precisely because of Mutu's daily erratic behavior that Chelsea officials asked Mutu to undergo a drug test for drugs, and Mutu, who tested positive in the test, was eventually forced to report to the FA. And the Premier League Players Union admitted the fact of drug use.

Mutu claimed that he was addicted to drugs because of the failure of his marriage, the troubles of injuries and the inability to obtain stable playing opportunities for a long time.

The introduction of Mutu cost Chelsea 15.8 million pounds. Although Chelsea can't even get a penny if he is fired directly, but from moral considerations, Chelsea obviously believes that principles are more important than lost money.

Chelsea Club also hopes that this decision can establish the image of the team and social criticism, and be responsible to all fans, players, staff and others who invest in football games. From the perspective of the club, a clean competition environment is more important than the financial benefits of the company.

The Romanian "genius player" Mutu, who was once highly expected by people, was finally banned by the FA for seven months for drug use, and his club, Chelsea, also kicked him out.

At that time, Mutu's career was at its lowest ebb, but now Mutu has re-emerged as a top player in European football.

The Romanian ace had been looking forward to returning to the excellence he had at Parma in 2002/2003, but for various reasons, it took him longer than expected.

A move to Chelsea made him a big part of it, and in that respect, it was as self-destructive as a season he should have had in west London was ruined by a drug ban.

In Florence, though, Mutu finally showed signs of revival. He has already scored 32 goals in Serie A over the past two seasons.

This season, Mutu is only ranked behind Degan and is the second shooter of Fiorentina. His performance has also attracted the attention of some wealthy teams.

In the absence of the introduction of Digan, the purchase of Mutu seems to have become a way for many wealthy teams to weaken the strength of Fiorentina.

However, just before the battle of Tianwangshan, Florence officially announced that Mutu renewed his contract until 2012.

After several poor seasons at Stamford Bridge, Mutu has now returned to the top of his career with Serie A powerhouse Fiorentina. As an important figure on Viola's offensive end, Mutu is now also a hot striker in the transfer market.

In particular, Roma, which lacked strikers, expressed their hope to introduce the Romanian striker after being eliminated from the Champions League by Manchester United, and formally proposed a transfer offer of up to 20 million euros to Fiorentina. When the two sides were about to reach an agreement, Fiorentina finally decided to keep the Romanian star.

It can be said that Mutu can be regarded as a model of a prodigal son in the football world. With his hard work and persistence, he regained his place on the football field.

Although the relationship between Degan and Mutu is not close, Degan still attaches great importance to this striker partner.

"No! Adrian! I'm not nervous, just excited!"

Mutu smiled again. Like Digan, he was also very excited. Inter Milan is his old club. No one would like to perform well in front of the team that once abandoned him.

Last season, when Fiorentina ended Inter Milan's winning streak, as well as the first round of this season's contest, Mutu missed it because of a foot injury. Speaking of which, this is the first time Mutu has joined Fiorentina. Milan played against each other.

At the same time, this is Mutu's first league title. He won it once when he was at Juventus, but he was deprived of it by the Italian Football Association because of the call time. Speaking of it, now is the real first time. .

The referee's whistle sounded, and the battle of Tianwangshan officially started.

After a few kicks, the football reached Hamsik's feet. The young Slovakian international kicked the ball to Digan. Vieira saw this and moved in the direction of Hamsik immediately, trying to intercept Digan's pass.

Although Digan's back was facing the goal, he knew the running position of every teammate on the field. Seeing that Inter Milan's defense was shifting to the left, he turned around suddenly. Cambiasso was shocked and stepped forward to prevent Digan Gan broke through, but at this moment, Degan chose to pass the ball, and flew the ball past Cambiasso's legs with a through ball.

"Digan passed the ball! It was Mutu. Mutu received the pass. There was a huge gap in front of him. Inter Milan's defensive attention seemed very inattentive. Mutu's chance!"

As soon as the game started, Fiorentina made a sudden attack. Inter Milan was obviously unprepared. Seeing that Mutu got the ball, it was too late for the two central defenders Samuel and Rivas to step forward to defend, and Mutu's speed was too fast. It was too fast, so fast that they didn't have time to react at all.

Although the personal relationship is general, but the cooperation on the court, Degan and Mutu have reached the point of understanding. Before Digan passed the ball, Mutu had already started. After receiving Digan's pass with his back, Mutu was very fast. Drilled through the middle of Samuel and Rivas, stepped in, and observed the position of Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar, and shot directly with one foot, hitting the far corner of the goal.

Although Cesar made a timely paving action, it was too late, and the football passed directly under his armpit, scraped the turf of the pitch, and got into the net.

The Inter Milan fans at the scene were stunned. They never thought that their team would be so vulnerable in front of Fiorentina.

Before Mancini sat down, he watched Inter Milan's goal being scored. Yesterday he was still talking about the dignity of the defending champion to the players. Now look, what dignity is there, bullshit dignity, now The Inter Milan, even ** will lose.
