Chapter 462 Young Marshal Mancini

The European League at the turn of the new century is still on the eve of change.

The UEFA Champions League is nondescript, and the schedule is cumbersome. The merger of the League Cup and the Winners Cup has not changed his chicken fate and is increasingly marginalized. The Bosman Act has not fully shown his bad results. Capital has not yet entered the major leagues. Although the traditional forces are in charge of the order, the champion is still stolen by small balls from time to time. Theft, the ups and downs of rich families, and the new forces are in the ascendant. Whether it is winning the championship or relegation, the competition is much more fierce than before.

There are still eight rounds of Serie A and La Liga, but at the top of Serie A is the emerging power Rome. Behind them are the giants Inter Milan, Juventus, and another upstart Lazio. The giant AC Milan has been sinking, and even the Champions League seat is hopeless.

In La Liga, Real Madrid reversed the decline and pressed the defending champion La Coruna. Compared with last season, the loser team La Coruna lacked sharpness and lacked background. Now it is going downhill. The 5-point gap makes them have little hope of defending the title, while the giant Barcelona is still wandering in the dark. With eight rounds left, I have said goodbye to the champion. The prospective giant Valencia is an insider, an outsider in the civil war, and has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The league is still desperately fighting for the quarter-finals with Barcelona, and it is very likely that they can't even play the Champions League.

There are still five rounds left in the Premier League and Bundesliga. Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson is still proud. There are still five rounds of the league, 7 points ahead of his old opponent Arsenal, 8 points, and three consecutive league championships are just around the corner. The traditional giants Arsenal and Liverpool are in the top three, but they can only pick up a few cups to be green leaves for Ferguson, Leeds. The team is full of vigor, but after all, it is a little short of foundation. The only regret for Ferguson is that he was eliminated by Bayern in the UEFA Champions League, but the Triple Crown is not won every year, and Ferguson also has a clear understanding of this.

The competition in the Bundesliga is the most fierce. The difference from the first place Bayern to the sixth place Bremen is only 6 points. Although Bayern has an advantage, if they want to easily achieve three consecutive championships, they still need to ask Schalke 04 and other teams agree or agree.

Ligue 1 has come to an end. There are only three rounds of the league. The champion is still a group of heroes. Basically, it is changed every year. Unlike a few years later, Lyon's annual champion, Nantes is now at the top of the list, 4 points ahead of Lyon. The situation of winning the championship is very good. The defending champion Monaco fell to 12th place and almost went to fight the relegation battle. The changing king's flag at the head of the city, this poem describes Ligue 1 as the most appropriate.

From the perspective of influence and stars, although Serie A at the turn of the century has begun to decline, they are still the strongest league. In the 1990s, Serie A teams made 8 into the Champions League finals, 4 in the winners' Cup finals, and 9 in the UEFA Cup finals. Even the chaotic Inter Milan can win the UEFA Cup three times, but Seeing the strength of Serie A, the so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, that's what it means.

The competition for the Serie A championship is of course the most eye-catching in the whole football world. Every game is enough to touch the heartstrings of hundreds of millions of fans.

And the current Serie A is far less closed than later. The champion is always in the hands of the top three in the north, and the two heroes in the south can still break through the hard ice, bringing greater suspense and highlights to the competition for the Serie A championship.

After Jiang Mu joined Inter Milan with the aura of the Champions League champion, this chaotic team known as the star black hole appeared magically and won 13 consecutive victories crazily. The League Cup also reached the final. In all the games of Jiang Mu, he only drew one game.

Jiang Mu's participation has made Serie A more crazy and received more attention. If one day, mainstream European sports newspapers and TV do not put the news of Inter Milan and Jiang Mu on the front page, it must be a big deal in the national league.

In the 27th round of Serie A, the match between Inter Milan and Fiorentina, Juventus and Parma is the focus battle. The Roma two heroes are all weak in this round. They are chased by Juventus and Inter in the top three in the South, and now they are eagerly waiting for Inter Milan and Juventus to make mistakes.

And Parma and Fiorentina also have the strength and motivation to cause trouble for Juventus and Inter Milan.

Parma is the head of the second group, and Florence is the tail of the second group. Parma is desperately chasing the Champions League shuttle bus. Fiorentina is trying to protect the seats in the UEFA Champions League and coveted the Champions League. If they want to realize their dreams, they can't fail in one, because the points are too tight.

Parma is an upstart in Serie A. They and Juventus have only played 20 games in the history of Serie A. Parma is slightly inferior to 5 wins, 9 draws and 6 losses, scoring 26 goals and conceded 28 goals. Among them, 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at home, scoring 12 goals and conceded 10 goals, and this round Parma is playing at home.

Fiorentina and Inter Milan are old rivals. The two teams have played a total of 128 games in the history of Serie A. Inter Milan has a certain advantage of 46 wins, 46 draws and 36 losses, but the gap between goals and losses is not big, 187 goals and 164 goals; but Inter Milan has 33 wins, 18 draws and 13 losses at home. Advantage, and the gap between gains and losses is also obvious, scoring 119 goals and conceded 69 goals.

In the first round, Inter Milan lost 0:2 away to Fiorentina, but now everything is new. Fiorentina's head coach has changed from Turkish Trim to Lazio's assistant coach Mancini, and Inter Milan's head coach has changed from Tardelli to Jiang Mu, and even the race has changed.

However, the feud between the teams will not disappear with the departure of the head coach and the players. They will only settle into the hearts of the fans over the years.

Inter Milan is now soaring under the leadership of Jiang Mu. It is full of confidence and aims to win the championship. Of course, they definitely want to revenge by the way.

However, Fiorentina is not easy to mess with after the change of coach. Mancini, who was born in 1964, only hung up his boots last season and still maintains great influence.

In 2001, under the double pressure of Florence's internal and diplomatic difficulties, economic crisis and the team's downturn, a big earthquake finally broke out: the club's general manager Antognoni, Turkish head coach Trim, assistant coach and goalkeeper coach resigned collectively. President Cicci Gaoli invited Mancini, who was not qualified as the head coach of the first division team. Although the Italian Professional Football Coaches Association opposed Mancini's coaching, in view of Mancini's great influence, the Italian Football Association allowed Mancini to teach in Florence.

After entering Fiorentina, Mancini's performance was as amazing as Jiang Mu. He only joined Fiorentina in February, but he quickly relied on his huge personality charm to unite a scattered team. When Mancini first arrived in Florence, Fiorentina was the third from the bottom of ten games in the league, two months. After that, Mancini led the scarred fallen giants to the 8th place, miraculously reached the final of the Coppa Italia, and competed with Parma for the championship three days after the match between Inter Milan.

If Jiang Mu has brought new changes to Inter Milan, then Mancini's Florence can also be called a new one.

The competition between Inter Milan and Fiorentina is not only between teams, but also between two young coaches.

Mancini is 10 years older than Jiang Mu, but in the coaching industry, it is very rare to be under 40 years old. Without Jiang Mu, Mancini would be the youngest coach and the most potential coach in the five major leagues, but now, these two names have been snatched by Jiang Mu.

Although Mancini's leading performance has not been tested by time, and he has no experience in leading the team to win the championship independently, Mancini's talent and influence can barely be compared with Jiang Mu, because Mancini's professional career is very brilliant, while Jiang Mu is not from a professional background, not in Mourinho. Before he was born, a coach who was not a player was not valued. The reason is very simple. People think simply: you can't even play the ball well, and you are not even a professional player. How can you be a good coach?

Jiang Mu is changing people's thinking, but this change is impossible. People still believe more that professional players will be coaches after retirement.

Although Mancini has been coaching alone for a short time and lacks persuasiveness, he has shown his coaching talent when he assisted Erikson to coach Lazio. Mancini, who has just retired, is the second person in Erikson's coaching team. After Erickson was dismissed, President Cranioti invited Jiang Mu. Jiang Mu did not agree. When he turned Mancini as the coach of Lazio, Mancini gave up the opportunity to coach the defending champion on the grounds of "not wanting to jump on a train that had already started". At that time, the media praised Mancini for being free and rational, and thought he was crazy, but few people knew that this was Mancini. Being jealous of Jiang Mu, he was dissatisfied with himself being regarded as Jiang Mu's spare tire by Cranioti, otherwise no newly retired player could refuse to become the head coach of the star-studded Lazio.

Jiang Mu was competed by several rich families at that time and had been weighing his future. Naturally, he would not expect that he was very innocent and hated by Mancini. However, even if he knew it, Jiang Mu was not afraid. With Chang'e No. 1, even if Mourinho was born and Guardiola appeared on the stage, Jiang Mu had enough chances to win. How could he I care about Mancini, who is not so talented.

Jiang Mu did not dare to take Mancini and Fiorentina lightly. Inter Milan stars are shining, and Fiorentina also has many stars who can change the game, such as midfield superstar Rui. Costa and Mijatovic, world-class goalkeepers Toldo, powerful strikers Chiesa and Gomes, are all stars with both fame and strength. Especially on a central axis, the strength of Chiesa, Rui Costa, Di Livio and Tordo is not inferior to Inter Milan. The front line is a little worse, and the midfielder's Ko Sta and Pirlo are at the same level, but Costa is more mature. Defenders Di Livio and Blanco are about the same age level, and goalkeeper Tordo is even better than Frey.

In the face of such a hard central axis, even Jiang Mu did not dare to say that he would win at home. What's more, after the defeat in the last game, Juventus slipped to the third place. He didn't know what was behind it. Jiang Mu had to make all preparations to make all the conspiracy plots in vain under absolute advantage. .
