Chapter 126 The Prodigal Son Turns Back

Digan is no stranger to the stadium Meacha. This season alone, he has come here to play for the third time. The first two Fiorentina led by him have won. At that time, his opponent was AC Milan, and this time it became Inter Milan.

Although Digan and his teammates are suppressing their excitement before the game and trying to convince themselves that this is just an ordinary game, when the league is at this time and the championship is within reach, calming is just self-deception.

Degan stood in the middle circle, moving his hands and feet while waiting for the referee to blow the whistle at the beginning of the game. He can't wait. What he is now thinking about is to crush the opponent in front of him and then hold the trophy of the league championship in his arms.

"Calm down! Rod!" Mutu stood in front of Digan and smiled.

Because Pacini has just recovered from his injury, although he has played in the game against Reggina and staged a hat-trick, he can't shake Mutu's main position.

Seeing Mutu laughing, Digan was a little surprised. In the Florence team, the relationship between the two is not close. At least compared with Pacini, Mutu always gives people a cold feeling.

Mutu became famous as a teenager and was recruited by Inter Milan early, but he failed to succeed in Inter Milan. Later, he did not usher in a glorious period of his career until he met Prandelli in Parma.

The fame is followed by depravity. After the arrogant Romanian genius transferred to Chelsea at a high price, his performance on the court is still very eye-catching, and he is one of the few non-British players who achieved success in the early days of the Chelsea Ruble.

However, outside the court, Mutu was a complete villain. After being tested positive for urine, the conflict with head coach Mourinho completely broke out. Mutu even told reporters that he could hardly help beating Mourinho severely.

Mourinho, who had just entered Stamford Bridge at that time, indirectly criticized his predecessor Ranieri's strategy of buying players, saying that it was a mistake to buy Romanian striker Mutu, and said that the club would learn lessons in future transfers.

Mutu then said angrily to the reporter: "I did warn Mourinho that if he went to Romania, I would not make him feel better, and even for a while, I couldn't help beating him severely."

Mourinho was furious after hearing Mutu's remarks. In addition to clarifying that he was not responsible in the Mutu incident, he also rudely pointed out that it was a mistake to sign in Mutu.

Mourinho said: "Chelsea made a serious mistake by spending a lot of money to buy Mutu from Parma, but Mutu had come here before I took over Chelsea, so it's not my fault. For those who bring him here, sometimes 2 plus 2 is not equal to 4 in football. When you spend a lot of money to buy a player, you can't have a try. You should know the purpose of buying him. You don't know if he likes it here and whether he can accept it here, but you must try to understand it in training. When a player appears tired and unable to concentrate on the training ground, or even lies to escape training for other purposes, there must be something wrong with his spare time life, and you should pay attention to him.

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

Mutu, who was discredited due to the drug abuse incident, then received a dismissal letter from Chelsea. Mutu later admitted to FA officials that he was a long-term drug addict and admitted that this drug abuse had begun earlier this year. Experts said it meant playing on behalf of Chelsea. During some games, cocaine toxins still remain in Mutu's body.

According to some people familiar with the matter, it was because they saw Mutu's daily strange behavior that Chelsea officials asked for a drug test for Mutu, and Mutu, who tested positive in the examination, was eventually forced to admit the fact of drug abuse to the FA and the Premier League Players Union.

Mutu said that he was finally addicted to drugs because of the failure of his marriage, injury and inability to get a stable appearance for a long time.

The introduction of Mutu cost Chelsea 15.8 million pounds. Although Chelsea can't even get a penny by firing him directly, Chelsea obviously believes that principle is more important than lost money.

Chelsea Club also hopes to be able to establish the team's image and social blame through this decision, and be responsible to all fans, players, staff and other people who invest in football games. From the perspective of the club, a clean competition environment is more important than the financial benefits of enterprises.

Mutu, a Romanian "talented player" who was once highly expected, was eventually banned by the FA for seven months for drug abuse, and his club, Chelsea, also swept him out.

At that time, Mutu's career was at the lowest point, but now Mutu has become a top player in European football.

Romanian's ace player has been looking forward to returning to his 2002/2003 season's excellence in Parma, but for various reasons, it took him longer than expected.

The transfer to Chelsea has made him an important part of it. In this regard, just like his self-destruction, he should have had a good season in West London, but it was destroyed by a drug ban.

However, in Florence, Mutu finally showed a revival. He has scored 32 goals in Serie A in the past two seasons.

This season, Mutu is only behind Degan, the second striker in Florence, and his performance has also attracted the attention of some big teams.

In the case of the inability to introduce Degan, the purchase of Mutu seems to have become a way for many rich teams to weaken the strength of Fiorentina.

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

After several bad seasons at Stamford Bridge, Mutu has now returned to the peak of his career in Serie A. As an important figure on the offensive end of Purple Lily, Mutu is now also a hot forward in the transfer market.

In particular, Roma, who lacked a striker, expressed his hope to introduce the Romanian striker after being eliminated from Manchester United in the Champions League and officially made 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 leave the Romanian star.

It can be said that Mutu is a model for the prodigal son in the football world. With his efforts and persistence, he won a place on the football field again.

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

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

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

Last season, Fiorentina ended Inter Milan's winning streak, and Mutu missed the first round of this season due to a foot injury. Speaking of which, this is the first time Mutu has played against Inter Milan since he joined Fiorentina.

At the same time, this is Mutu's first league championship. He got it once when he was in Juventus, but because he was deprived of the phone time by the Italian Football Association, this is the real first time.

With the whistle of the referee, the battle of Tianwang Mountain officially began.

After a few feet of the football passed, at the foot of Hamsik, the young Slovak international passed the ball to Degan and inserted it from the left. After Degan received the ball, it seemed that he wanted to make a wall-colliding cooperation with Hamsik. Vieira saw this and moved in the direction of Hamsik at the first time. In the past, he wanted to intercept Degan's pass.

Although Degan turned his back to 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 suddenly turned around. Cambiasso was shocked and quickly came forward to prevent Degan from breaking through. However, at this time, Degan chose to pass the ball and blocked the ball with one foot, from Camby. Aso flew over his leg.

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

At the beginning of the game, Fiorentina suddenly attacked. Inter Milan was obviously defenseless. Seeing Mutu get the ball, it was too late for the two central defenders Samuel and Rivas to come forward, and Mutu's speed was so fast that they didn't have time to react at all.

Although the personal relationship is general, the cooperation on the court, Degan and Mutu have reached the point of understanding. Before Degan's pass, Mutu has started and received Digan's pass on his back. Mutu quickly drilled through the middle of Samuel and Rivas, stepped in and observed. Inter goalkeeper Cesar shot directly from the far corner of the goal.

Although Cesar made a paving move in time, it was still too late. The football passed directly under his armpit, wiped the turf of the court and got into the net.

The Inter Milan fans at the scene were stunned. They didn't expect their team to be so vulnerable in front of Florence.

Before Mancini could sit down, he watched Inter Milan's goal be broken. Yesterday, he was still talking to the players about the dignity of the defending champion. Now let's see what dignity there is. Now Inter Milan is even losing its underwear.
