Chapter 65 Step Forward

Florence defended the league championship, and many old giants in Italian football suddenly mourned. Everyone can feel that the rise of an emerging rich family is completely inevitable, which is the last thing they want to see.

Moggi, the former general manager of Juventus, said in an interview: "I don't want to deny the strength of Florence, but the strength of Florence is not good news to Italian football. Their way of monopolize the championship will only make Italian football less competitive for a long time. This will be a disaster, and the level of football in a country can definitely not be supported by a team, but Florence is destroying this foundation.

AC Milan's boss Berlusconi also followed: "Now Serie A has become more and more boring. Florence is the champion, and other teams can only compete for second place. I don't know if anyone is willing to watch Serie A in the past!"

In contrast, Inter Milan seems very quiet. Mourinho and his team are now silently licking their wounds, waiting to win the bet with Degan next year.

Someone has said, and those wall-like media have also begun to chat. Generally speaking, Florence is the dominant family, which has destroyed the development foundation of Serie A. A league without competition has no future.

Just to say directly, Fiorentina should demobilization all the current players and then change a group to play the game. It's better to start over from the 2nd Division.

"I feel that the whole Italian football world is filled with a sour taste. Some brazen guys are always saying some bullshit that they can't eat grapes and sour grapes. Florence is the largest family. This is what we have worked hard for. We welcome competition, just like Inter Milan, saying that we destroy it. The foundation of Italian football, I want to ask, where is it!? Is it because we defended the championship? A century-old team has only four league championship trophies in the honor room. I really don't know what we have destroyed? If some people really want to say this, it's better to wait until we embroider a star on the team emblem. In the past, when Juventus and AC Milan dominated Serie A, why didn't I hear someone say that they destroyed the foundation of Italian football development?

When Digan fought back, he was extremely sarcastic and sarcastic. Although he did not name his name, everyone knew who he was talking about.

"I think some people can rest, but they just can't see others, yes! That's right! We are not a rich family, we are just a purple lily on the outskirts of Florence. If they want to overturn our rule, just come and say those bullshit will not hurt us, but will only make people all over the world laugh generously!"

When Berlusconi was visiting a TV interview program, when he learned of Degan's words, the old man was immediately blushed and criticized: "I think that young man completely lacks respect for an old man who has contributed to the development of Italian football!"

Degan immediately retorted: "I will only respect respectable people, like some people whose minds are full of milk. Fang, a stinky old man with bad morality, I don't have any goodwill at all.

It is said that after learning what Degan said about him, Berlusconi vomited three liters of blood and died almost.

Of course, it is only said that the more accurate news is that after the recording of the TV program, Berlusconi organized a lot of flesh and blood and held a nothing in his home. Cover. Big. As a result, the old man was admitted to the hospital for treatment due to lack of physical strength, and the treatment recommendations announced were banned one by one. Desire!

The Berlusconi family has lost a big face, and even the overall image of AC Milan has been falling wildly, so it's not about Digan.

After winning the league championship, they ushered in the second round of the Champions League semi-final match with Chelsea in the middle of the week.

In the first round, Fiorentina won a big victory at 4:1 away, and the suspense of the game has basically ended. Hiddink's only chance to continue the magic is that Prandelli will choose to rotate the lineup in order to cope with the next intensive schedule.

But when the game started, all the previous speculations did not exist. Prandelli sent the strongest lineup, but made an adjustment to the position of right-back. Marjo rested, but it was not Bonucci, but the young player Desilio.

Hidink seemed to feel that he had grasped Florence's weakness and chose to attack Florence's right side after the start of the game, but with the help of midfielders, Desilio's performance was eye-catching.

Now Desilio is no longer the weak teenager when he first came to Florence. After nearly a season of hard work, his body has gradually become stronger, and he can't get much better in technology.

In the 15th minute of the first half, Desilio also had a very wonderful performance, when Ashley. Cole assisted in the frontcourt, and Drogba and Anelka had been in place. At this time, Desilio suddenly killed from the side and let Ashley. Cole, a superstar, has suffered a big loss.

The goal decided to the game appeared in the 37th minute. Beckham passed the ball from the side, Degan headed the ball, and Mutu shoveled into the net. The Viper, who was ruthlessly abandoned by Chelsea, scored two consecutive games against the old club and completed the revenge.

There is no suspense in the next game. Chelsea must score five goals if they want to win. This task is not to mention Chelsea. Even if it pulls the World All-Star Team over, it is impossible.

The only thing Chelsea can do now is to finish the game and save the face of the Blues. Before the end of the first half, Ivanovic scored a goal with a corner attack to equalize the score.

But at the beginning of the second half, Fiorentina's fast attack scored again, and Degan's shot made Cech only look at the ball and sigh.

2:1!

The score was finally maintained to the end. Fiorentina eliminated Chelsea with a total score of 62 and reached the final for the second year in a row. Now they are waiting for their opponents in the final to appear.

The next day, the second round of Manchester United and Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals began. Manchester United, which won a small goal at home in the first round, hopes to eliminate Arsenal this time and reach the final and defeat Florence to make up for the regret of last season. However, Arsenal has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League six times and maintained all of them in the finals. The proud record.

Before the game, Beckham was interviewed by the British media. When looking forward to his opponents in the final, Beckham said that he hoped that Florence could meet his former club Manchester United in the final.

Beckham said: "It will undoubtedly be very interesting to meet Florence on such a stage as the Champions League final, where I have left many good memories. Although I fell out with Ferguson because of the flying boot gate incident, I have now been relieved. Since 2003 Since I left Manchester United and joined Real Madrid, I have never played with Manchester United, and he has never played in the Champions League since 2007. If Fiorentina can meet Manchester United in the final, it will undoubtedly be fantastic for me.

Beckham, a meritorious man who may meet his good club in the Champions League final and once reached the UEFA Champions League: "I have always stressed that if I can choose again, I will never leave Old Trafford. After all, that's where I've always wanted to start and end my career. But now I have to look back in another way, because I have been there for more than 10 years and achieved complete success. More importantly, I have formed deep friendships with many good friends.

For Alex. Sir Ferguson, Beckham is still grateful: "It is very lucky to play for Manchester United under Ferguson, because I learned the ethics of professional players from there, everything about football from when you get up to bed at night, you know, that's what I had to do when I was young. The experience is enough to benefit my whole career. Even when I am questioned and criticized on and off the football field, I can sit still. I expect him to lead Manchester United to defeat Arsenal, yes! Looking forward to it!"

The Gunners have a home advantage this time. The Red Devils have never won a game at the Emirates Stadium, and the Gunners have maintained 24 home unbeaten home games in the Champions League. In the past 10 away games, the Red Devils have only won once. In this season's Premier League, Arsenal defeated Manchester United 2:1 at home. In addition, the two sides previously met under the knockout system. Manchester United led 1-0 in three first rounds, but only one time was able to eliminate their opponents and advance.

The coaches of the two teams, Ferguson and Wenger, are currently the two longest coaches in the Premier League. "Lord" joined Manchester United in 1986, while "Professor" joined Arsenal in 1996. The two led the team to play 14 wins and 10 draws.

However, the historical data is not completely on the side of the Gunners. The Red Devils have not lost away in the Champions League for more than two years, and a draw will undoubtedly ensure that the Red Devils advance to the final. In fact, even if they lose, Manchester United still have a chance to advance because Arsenal failed to score away in the first round.

Judging from the combat effectiveness of both sides, the attack power of the Red Devils is trustworthy. After the first round, Wenger admitted that he was extremely lucky to lose only one goal. This time, Arsenal returned to the home and could only deal with Manchester United's fierce attack with a broken defense line. Clichy was not able to play, and it is unknown whether Sylvester can play. In addition, Van Persie is injured and may be absent. In this case, Wenger can only plan a change of formation to make the second round of the game between the two sides into the rhythm that the gunners are used to.

But the result of the game undoubtedly disappointed the professor. In the end, the away Red Devils Manchester United defeated the Gunner Arsenal with a 3:1 score, thus taking the lead in reaching the final with a total score of 4:1. This is also the second consecutive season for the Red Devils to advance to the final. They will He met Fiorentina in the Champions League final for the second year in a row.

Originally, people thought that the game would be a battle between dragons and tigers, but at the beginning of the game, the development of the battle surprised the fans. Arsenal made a series of mistakes at home, and Manchester United solved the battle in only 10 minutes.

In the eighth minute, Manchester United was crossed by Kim Mauro on the left side of the penalty area. Arsenal defender Gibbs tried to relieve the siege, but accidentally fell down. Goryeo stick Park Ji-sung shoveled the goal outside the edge of the penalty area.

Less than three minutes later, the Red Devils made a comeback. Arsenal striker Van Persie fouled Kim Mauro in the backcourt. Kim Mauro's direct free kick 30 meters away went straight to Arsenal's gate. Arsenal goalkeeper Armonia could not save it and could only see the ball into the net.

Manchester United expanded the total score to 3:0. Due to two key away goals, Arsenal must score four goals in a row to turn over at home. However, it is clear that this is an almost impossible task for Arsenal in general condition this season.

Arsenal coach Wenger also admitted that the start was not good after the game, which was the key to the team's loss: "We lost two goals in 3 minutes, which was really bad. At this time, we knew that it was impossible to advance. We continued to insist on the game just to fight for honor."

But Manchester United's goal performance is not over yet. In the 61st minute, Manchester United quickly counterattacked. Kimello received a pass from Rooney outside the penalty area and pushed the ball into the goal.

Arsenal, which had been fighting for honor, finally saved his face in the 76th minute. In the penalty area, Arsenal midfielder Fabregas was sent off with a red card, and Van Persie's penalty kick was made overnight.

In this game, Wenger is undoubtedly the most disappointed person. From the expectation at the beginning, to the regret and disappointment after losing two goals in a row, to the despair when witnessing the team's dying struggle, it was a grand scene of this game. After the game, the Arsenal coach even admitted, "Manchester United is indeed a better team and deserves to be promoted." .

It is rare to see a professor show such weakness. It is true that Manchester United has no flaws at all, which makes Wenger really helpless to defeat the enemy.

Kim Mauro and Rooney are visible heroes, but Manchester United's steady control of the leading situation is inseparable from the great contribution of the midfield, and the contributions of Anderson and Fletcher are also obvious to all.

Anderson, who was once considered "uncurable" in the season, has recently played a good game in a row and has become a common and favorite pawn of Ferguson. Brazilians are no longer limited to the mystery of whether they are in the front or back, and now his role is freer. In defense, he is responsible for intercepting, relying on his excellent consciousness to predict the opponent's passing line in advance. Even if he competes with Arsenal's midfielder, he will not suffer losses, and his physical ability also has an advantage in making up for Rooney and Evra.

When attacking, Anderson's courage to plug in is also the key to Ferguson's courage to release the Indian striker. The Brazilian can continue to respond on both wings, and his excellent physical fitness and running are also rare for South American players. He often kills the opponent's hinterland like a whirlwind, and the Lord can also play by him. Anderson's foot is very creative in the game. Yi's hanging door almost knocked on the door of Arsenal, and several corner kicks were also of good quality. Don't forget that in the Porto era, he was the second demon of Ronaldinho and won the European Golden Boy Award.

Towards the end of the season, Anderson's attendance rate has improved, which is not surprising at all, because Brazilians always play well in key battles without stage fright.

In this life-and-death battle with Arsenal, Anderson fought wildly in the midfield, completely disrupting Arsenal's offensive and defensive system, and also relied on breaking through the gunner's defense. His activity even annoyed Fabregas. The photos of the two' heads became classic. Anderson sometimes seemed reckless, but once it was used well, his opening Sometimes two axes can indeed overcome the thorns all the way.

Anderson's performance can satisfy Ferguson, but his best partner Fletcher is full of regret. In fact, with Manchester United's three goals leading situation, even if the Scottish midfielder let Bregas complete the shot, it is not harmful to the overall situation, but Fletcher, who is too responsible, still shoveled, although he kicked first. The ball, but at the same time, his legs pulled down Fabregas in a lock.

Fletcher did not deliberately commit a foul. There was no problem with the penalty and directly issued a red card. It seems that the sentence was too heavy. Therefore, Ferguson negotiated and complained with the fourth official many times in the game.

Fletcher's excellent defense in this game is obvious to all. The Scots not only have a header, but also the ground steal and interception are also a top master. His absence will certainly have an impact on Ferguson's formation in the final.

After the game, the slow motion showed that Fletcher's tackle was indeed the first to tackle the ball, and the penalty had little impact on the result of the game and Manchester United's promotion, but this red card is likely to determine Fletcher's fate in the Champions League.

Fletcher is Ferguson's favorite player. Lord doesn't want him to miss such an important game. In an interview after the game, Ferguson said: "The referee's law enforcement in this game is quite fair, but this red card is still regrettable. We will appeal. Fletcher is undoubtedly one of the most important players of Manchester United in the game. It is undoubtedly a great pity that he can't participate in the Champions League final.

Even the Frenchman Wenger, the coach of Arsenal, thought that the penalty for showing Fletcher a red card was too harsh.

The Champions League final will be held at the Olympic Stadium in Rome on May 27. Manchester United still has some time to appeal for Fletcher's red card ban. Perhaps if they are lucky, Fletcher's suspension can be pardoned. If the penalty cannot be changed, then Fletcher can only follow the trail of Scholes and Keane and have no choice but to miss the Champions League final.

If Fletcher can't play, Anderson probably can only go up, but his combination with Carrick and Scholes has been recognized as a mismatch before. Manchester United has lost a few times, most of which are also a match between Brazilians and these two passes.

If the final still follows the three midfield formation and discharges Giggs or Scholes to organize the attack, the Lord is likely to continue to appoint Park Zhixing in order to balance and consolidate the stable defense of the midfield.

The Champions League final is still a little far away. After determining the final opponent, Fiorentina immediately turned their attention to the next game. In the 36th round of the league, they will face Sampdoria at home.

Although he has won the championship ahead of schedule, Prandelli said before the game that he wanted to win the game at his doorstep.

Although Degan, Beckham and other main players did not enter the starting lineup, Fiorentina, who appeared in a round of lineup, still defeated Sampdoria and won a victory with the goals of Cavinaghi and Arteta.

In the middle of the week, they had to face their rival Chievo in the semi-final of the Coppa Italia. Degan still did not enter the starting lineup. Pacini and Mutu partnered the front line, and finally scored with Mutu's hat trick and La Nokia's header. Fiorentina 4:0 After defeating the opponent, one foot has reached the final.

Then on the weekend, Fiorentina will go away to challenge Lecce. Digan made his debut and finally kicked his head in the first half and completed a hat-trick. Seeing that his total number of goals this season has increased to 39, he still needs one, which can reach 40.

In the middle of the week, they will face the second round of the Coppa Italia with Chievo. In this game, Prandelli sent substitutes in all positions, and even recruited several players from the youth team to sit on the bench. Degan and other main players did not even go away with the team to participate in the game.

In the end, Fiorentina won 2:0, and Cavinagi scored twice to help Fiorentina defeat its opponent and break into the final of the Coppa Italia.

Next is the last round of the league, playing against AC Milan at home, and the duel between the Wright brothers has started again. At present, there are continuous rumors of transfers on Kaka, and some media even asserted before the game that this game will become the final song of the Wright brothers in Serie A.

In the game, the Wright brothers also became the focus of the field. Every duel attracted everyone's attention. Kaka made an advanced goal and a long shot from outside the penalty area, so that Fiorendie's substitute goalkeeper Lupatelli could only raise his hand to surrender, but then Degan received a pass from Arteta and scored a header. Equalized the score.

In the next game, both sides have fought for all their power, and AC Milan must get one point to ensure that they can enter the Champions League next season.

Degan's goal in the second half made AC Milan pour a basin of cold water up and down, and the news from another field came that Rome was 3-0 ahead of Cagliari.

If this result is maintained until the end of the game, AC Milan will be absent from the Champions League for two consecutive years, which is completely unimaginable for AC Milan.

The score of 2:1 continued until the end of the second half. This time Kaka became a hero of AC Milan. His breakthrough caused a foul for Compani, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty.

AC Milan put his fate in his own hands.
