Chapter 162 Triple Crown

On the day of the final of the Coppa Italia, there was a sudden rainstorm, as if it were for the change of the dynasty of Florence. As a result, in the rainstorm, Florence won the championship trophy of the Coppa Italia for the sixth time. Although Florence has tasted two more important championships this season, this time There is a big difference.

The Triple Crown, after a big war, Florence finally laughed to the end and defeated its opponent. Of course, it can also be three fires. The opponent they defeated was themselves.

Maybe no one wants to see Florence crowned the triple crown. Rome, Florence's opponent in this game, can be said to have worked hard for this victory. In order to call on fans to support on the spot, Rome reduced the ticket price of this game to one euro. The Olympic Stadium was full of seats and shouting. Florence's The pressure can be imagined.

The pressure increased again eight minutes after the opening of the game. Rome's counterattack, Totti went straight to the penalty area, and Vuccinić successfully went offside. He pushed the ball to the far corner of the goal and went to the next city first.

In the next game, Rome, who fought desperately, also continued to exert great pressure on Florence. Totti's goal on the small penalty area line was blocked by Florence's goalkeeper Lupat with his legs, and then Panucci's head-shaking goal from the far post, and Totti's cross almost swirled into the goal. .

In this game, Prandelli sent all the rotation lineup, goalkeeper Lupatelli, left-back Antonini, central defender partners Dainelli and Uifarusi, right-back Marjo, midfielder Donader, Arteta and Macena, front midfielder Hamsik, and Mutu and Pacini on the forward line.

In the face of Rome's crazy attack, Florence, who was a little flustered, could only get big feet frequently and continued to attack after being frequently taken by Roma. At the same time, in front of the opponent's goal, Fiorentina wasted a lot of opportunities rashly. Marjo's pass was kicked in the stands by the back point Pazinier, and Arteta's pass was torn apart. The opponent's defense line, but Hamsik, which was quickly inserted, did not choose to pass to the unguarded Pazini in the middle, but directly hit the air at a small angle, and Pacini's own door and kicked the goalkeeper Donnie.

After the half-time break, the Fiorentina players filed out of the passage with a serious face. Rome still led by 1:0. There are only 45 minutes left for Florence to achieve the ultimate goal of the Triple Crown.

When Pacini wasted another opportunity, Prandelli finally changed to Degan, which became a turning point in Florence.

The opportunity appeared in the 62nd minute. Degan broke through Fiorentina's veteran Gambellini in the middle and scored with a tricky and low shot at the front of the penalty area.

Delwa, who had been nervous in the stands and watched the game, came. At this time, his emotions were completely released. He shook hands with the Florentine fans in front of him, high-five, and cheered like an ordinary fan. At this time, Florence had seen the dawn of victory.

This is somewhat ironic. Roma's head coach once said before the game that "Gamberini is familiar with all the attacking players of Fiorentina and is our secret weapon", and Digan's goal is just a breakthrough in Gambellini's defense.

After scoring, Fiorentina's ability was completely released. If Fiorentina only played 60% before, then Fiorentina played at least 90% of the time after Degan came on the field. Degan, Mutu, Hamsik and others successively made power in front of the goal. Threatened.

In the 79th minute, after Degan missed the single-knife ball, Fiorentina launched a second attack in the front court. Degan locked the victory in the back point. At this time, Prandelli jumped from his seat and shouted with his arms. At this time, Degan was pressed on the rain ground by his teammates.

The game instantly entered the "garbage time", Rome fans were "waiting for death" in pain, while Florence was enjoying the joy of waiting for the end of the game.

At this moment, the champion almost belongs to Florence. At the moment of the final whistle, Florence fans poured into the field crazily. Although they are in Rome, as Fiorentina fans, how can they miss such a game?

Florence fans blocked the players' way to the passage, the Olympic Stadium. Under the celebration of the Fiorentina players, Rome's fans and players were sad. What they faced was that the team had a grainless season.

Degan surrounded Florence with the most fans. His No. 9 jersey had 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, the most memorable one was Nuno. Gomez's helpless eyes and the tears of pain of Florence fans are now replaced by the cheers of Degan and his teammates, which is a scene of celebration.

The Triple Crown! Florence, who was reborn in the fire, has stood at the peak of Italian football.

At this moment, the first triple champion in Italian football history was born, but only Fiorentina seemed to be happy. After winning the championship, Prandelli revealed the fact he heard: "When Rome scored, I seemed to hear all Italian fans cheering except Florence."

Dravalai also said in an interview: "Non-Florentine fans in Italy are on Rome's side, but this makes us even more proud."

This statement is not exaggerated. Inter Milan, AC Milan players and Juventus all publicly expressed their support for Rome before the final of the Coppa Italia. In particular, Juventus and Rome have always been old enemies. A survey by an authoritative Italian media once showed that Roman fans hated Juventus. It's better than hating Lazio.

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

When did Florence become the public enemy of all Italy?

Does power lead to jealousy?

This is the idea of the Fiorentina players, but it is a little one-sided. This season, Fiorentina has been riding the dust since the beginning of the league and won the championship with great advantages. The league has lost its suspense early. In the Champions League, despite the bumpy process, the result is still the largest of Florence.

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

For Italian football, which is used to being used to the "seven sisters" to the "four giants", it is difficult for fans and public opinion to accept such a league without competition, so they are extremely eager for the emergence of spoilers.

This season, people once pinned their hopes on Inter Milan, which turned out to be a joke. Rome may really wrestle with Florence because of the right time, place and many factors, so all Italy almost unanimously stood on Rome's side. So any mistakes in Florence were placed under the microscope.

Just like 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, Florence has attracted the encirclement of Serie A.

Of course, this is not a normal phenomenon. In order to get rid of the image of the "all Italian public enemy", Fiorentina needs to continue to establish a higher image in the European arena and let the whole Italian football world understand the rising hope of Italian football after the phone door.

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

Before the start of this season, I'm afraid no one thought that Florence could really get to this point, but if you analyze it carefully, everything seems logical.

This season is completely over, and Fiorentina should now focus on the next season. The four teams that can challenge Fiorentina's status next season are Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus and Roma.

AC Milan's problem of aging personnel this season has been completely exposed, and the front line also lacks strong players, which makes Milan's overall strength this season, and it has to deal with multi-line battles. In addition, Pirlo, Gattuso, Gilardino and other international players still have to deal with the national team, so they can't support it halfway. Live, so it is also expected that the ranking is not high.

AC Milan needs to replenish fresh blood as soon as possible and make a bigger supplement to the lineup before it is possible to appear as a strong team again next season.

Now it seems that AC Milan is actively contacting new players in the striker and midfield, but there has never been any action on the back defense, which is a little strange. If the defense does not add some powerful young players, the prospects for next season will still be overshadowed. In short, Milan has come to a big change. However, AC Milan will not be able to play the Champions League next season and should be a strong contender for the championship.

After the end of the league, Galliani has said that AC Milan will forget the defeat and transfer 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 skeleton of the existing team and strengthen the team to restore the team's competitiveness in Serie A and Europe. I believe we can build a strong ball. Team."

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

The young player Pato is Milan's biggest gain this season. In half a season, he has scored nine goals. In the future AC Milan, he is undoubtedly an important force.

Roma is more mature this season and has achieved good results in the Champions Cup. Although it has not been able to rush up in the final stage, it should be said that it has given full play to the team's potential with Rome's staffing. It can be said that Spalerti's use of troops is still very successful. The reason for not reaching the peak is that the bench is not deep enough, including the main players in Europe and even Italy, which are not even the best, and the substitute players are even worse. It should be said that it is quite good to play to this extent.

One of Rome's outstanding ones this season is Vusinić. In the case of Totti's injury, Vusinić was able to become a scorer. Compared with last season's soft state, Vusinić performed very well this season.

In addition, Rome's important gain this season is Juan. The combination of Juan and Mex should be said to be a quite successful combination in Serie A. Under Rome's open style of full attack, it can not keep the number of goals conceded, which should have a lot to do with Juan's joining.

The other one is Casetti, which plays an excellent role in the defense line. Rome wants to win the Champions League final and the Serie A championship next season, so the personnel need to be supplemented.

The personnel introduced by Juventus at the beginning of this season are very promising. Andrade, Almillon and so on soon found that these people were useless. Fortunately, Juventus made a supplement in the winter, especially after the introduction of Sisoko, the midfielder finally showed relatively stable strength, especially At the end of the season, the two backs of Sissuo and Camoranesi strengthened Juventus' offense and defense. When Nedved was absent, the combination of the two played an important role.

In addition, Salihamižić is also a player with good offense and defense, and it is also a very important chess piece if you use it. Nedvid remained tenacious and was a strong driving force in the Juventus midfield before he was injured. In addition, Zanetti and others could play a defensive role in the midfield. Tiago also performed in the attack. From the perspective of the current Juventus personnel, it is still quite complete, but the depth of the bench is slightly insufficient.

On the front line, Piero regained his state after renewing his contract. He was greatly relaxed and showed his due level, which made people see Piero, who was almost in his heyday. Although Juventus center Trezeguet has scored a lot of goals in the season, it is a little uncertain whether he can maintain his state next season. The joining of Yaquinta has made Juventus a strong substitute in the center position. Even if Trezeguet can't make it, Yaquinta is a good choice, as well as young player Paladino. It should be said that Juventus's front line next season is still considerable.

Juventus's shortfall is his defense. Lerotale can still play the main force, but he always feels that it is an unstable factor. Ziellini is a good defender, but he lacks a more reliable companion.

Buffon is a great guarantee of Juventus' defense. Anyone who shoots in front of Buffon will feel invisible pressure. Juventus rarely conceded a goal has a lot to do with Buffon's super ability.

Juventus has adapted to the rhythm of Serie A and should perform better next season, but Juventus will fight two lines next season. With the current lineup, it may be difficult. Whether they can 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 well-organized, and Moratti has promised to invest a lot of money in the team and introduce new aid. At the same time, Mancini has left, and Mourinho is about to enter the master, which will also bring more vitality to Inter Milan. Whether the Blue and Black Empire can be established is crucial next season.

Of course, these are things that need to be considered in the future. What Florence needs to do now is to enjoy their Triple Crown.

When the team returned with honor and the whole team climbed on the roof of the long-prepared parade bus to show tens of thousands of Florentine fans their fruitful results of this season, the whole Florence went crazy.

The parade to celebrate can be seen everywhere in the city, and finally gathered in the square in front of the office building of the city government of Florence.

As the head coach of Florence, Prandelli was pushed to the microphone by the players. The handsome Italian man pondered for a long time because of excitement and said, "I want to thank everyone, the staff of the club, my coaching staff, players, and of course you. You have been supporting Our fans, you are the cornerstone of the purple lily. This season is over, and our achievements are in front of us. Now is the time to enjoy the victory. Let's cheer! We have a reason to enjoy everything today, and then next season, let's move on!"

The next person to go to the front is Degan. No one will deny Degan's contribution to the Purple Lily Youth Guards. This season, he scored a total of 45 goals for Fiorentina in the league and won the title of best scorer for four consecutive seasons. At the same time, Fiorentina was injected with a strongman because of Degan. Heart, Florence, under his leadership, defeated many strong enemies and finally crowned the triple crown.

"I always say that we will not stop. Now we are the Triple Crown, but our pace will not stop. We still have more work to do, and more honors are waiting for us to fight for. This will be a very long process, and we will gain more championships, yes! As Coach Prandelli said just now, we want to thank you for cheering for us in the stands, which gives us infinite strength and makes us always remember that Florence will not stagnate with our mission. Our goal is to become the most powerful team in the world. Next season, we will win more championships!"

The fans were so excited that they couldn't control themselves at this moment. After Digan finished his speech, there were violent cheers in the crowd.

"H Long live! Rod! Long live! Florence!"
