Chapter 131 Speaking with Facts

After the game, Li Yu took the initiative to go to the visiting team's bench, "Can I exchange jerseys with you!"

Although Sun Jihai did not play, Li Yu still wanted to exchange jerseys with Big Brother. This was the first time that he took the initiative to find someone to exchange jerseys after the game.

"Of course there is no problem, but if I catch a cold, the bill for the medicine will be sent to Everton Club and let you pay the bill!" Sun Jihai put on his coat, took off his jersey, and didn't forget to make a joke with Li Yu.

"Ha ha, did I need to make up your appearance fee to you at that time!" Li Yu knew that the eldest brother was joking, and immediately replied humorously.

After changing the jersey, my hands were tightly between the two, "Li Yu, you have to cheer up. Now you are definitely the most fans in China, and you have to keep scoring goals for them!"

Hearing the big brother's instructions, Li Yu nodded, "I will! So goodbye, I'll treat you to dinner when you arrive at Liverpool next season!"

The camera has long focused on the two people and recorded the whole process. The exchange of jerseys between the two Chinese players after the game has also become the headline of all the media in Huaxia the next morning. It is difficult to get together on the field, and we will meet off the court!

The most intense January and February have finally passed. In the next time, the field will be relatively looser. With the current Everton lineup, it is not bad to deal with it. However, the schedule is loose, and the back is full of hard battles. The League Cup has entered the top 16 two rounds of knockout matches, and there is no weak team. In the 16 In the strong match, the popular Bayern will play against Belgium's strong team Anderlecht. Tottenham's opponent is the Dutch defending champion Eindhoven, and Fiorentina has to have a direct dialogue with the Premier League strong team Everton. If Everton wants to advance, he will have to fight in one game. The next opponent will be Serie A Fiorentina. Serie A has always been For a strong team, Chinese fans always like to call this team Purple Lily.

This club, which is deeply loved by Chinese fans, fell into all kinds of troubles after the millennium and wrote a legend of the Serie A club.

After entering the millennium, a group of meritorious officials successively transferred to other Serie A clubs. In addition, there would be financial problems in 2001, and they could not pay salaries and debts up to 50 million US dollars. At that time, President Goli did not consider the club's bad financial situation, but continued to buy players, resulting in the club in the league. Unable to pay the player's salary, the team's results fell repeatedly. In 2001/2002, Fiorentina in Serie A finally got only 22 points, ranking second to last in the league and landed in the second division. In July of the same year, because it could not hand over the $40 million deposit to participate in Serie B, the Football Association immediately cancelled it. In the second division of the season, Florence held a press conference on August 1 of the same year to officially announce the bankruptcy of the club, but the Italian Football Association has an important position in the Italian football world, so it is licensed to participate in Group C II, and with the help of the domestic famous shoe manufacturer Dela Valle to form a new ball. Team Florentia Viola, and captain Di Livio did not leave the team to lead the team to play in the low league.

Fiorentina performed well in Group C, easily winning the championship with 20 wins, 10 losses and 4 losses. In the summer of 2003, President Delaware bought back the name 'Fiorentina' for 2.5 million euros and resumed Florence's status to participate in the competition. At the same time, the Italian Football Association expanded the second division to 24 teams in the 2003/2004 season, so it retained the Catania Football Club, Genoa Football Club, Charenitana Football Club and Cosenza Football Club that originally landed in the league last season. Later, because of the latter's financial constraints, In the end, the Italian Football Association chose Fiorentina to take the place in the second division.

Fiorentina won the sixth place in the second division that year through hard work. It needed to compete with Perugia, who ranked 15th in Group A, to compete for the qualification of the next season's first division. Fiorentina defeated its opponent 1-0 in the first round, and then tied 1-1 with its opponent under the second round. In the end, the total score was 2-1 and they attended the Serie A again for two years. Fiorentina was still in Group C in 2003 and only took two years to return to the top league.

Returning to the first season of Serie A, Fiorentina performed well and successfully gained a foothold in Serie A. At the end of the season, it ranked 16th in the league and succeeded in relegating with the advantage of goal difference.

In the following 2005-06 season, Fiorentina finally returned to the style of the previous strong team in Serie A, beat Roma with 74 points and won the fourth place in the league!

Affected by the "telephone door" incident, in the 2006-07 season, Fiorentina was deducted 15 league points before the start of the season and started the journey with the last place in the league. However, under the command of head coach Prandelli, led by the "frontline twins" Tony and Mutu, Fiorentina blew a "purple storm" in Serie A. At the beginning, with reference to the unfavorable situation of two consecutive defeats, Prandelli's team immediately adjusted its mind and state, took all 15 points in the next six rounds of the league, and successfully cleared its league loss points. After several rounds of adjustment, "Purple Lily" exerted its strength again. In the 9 rounds from the 11th round to the end of the half, Fiorentina achieved an unbeaten record of 5 wins and 4 draws. The team's ranking in the table also went all the way up. At the end of the half, Fiorentina ranked 14th.

After the winter break, Fiorentina continued its good trend. From the beginning of the 23rd round to the end of the 38th round of the league, "Purple Lily" remained unbeaten in 15 league games, with an impressive record of 10 wins and 5 losses and won 35 points. Its league ranking also rose steadily, soaring from the 14th place to the first place. 5 people. In the final 38 rounds of the league, Fiorentina achieved an impressive record of 21 wins, 10 draws, 7 losses and 58 points (actually 73 points). With the advantage of goal difference, Palermo ranked fifth in the table and won a ticket to enter the UEFA Cup next season.

It has become a 'youth army' Fiorentina team. This season, it can be said that it is a kid in power. After leaving the three strikers of Tony, Reginado and Boydinove, Pacini and Mutu will provoke the team's offensive. In order to make up for the shortcomings on the front line, Fiorentina also signed veteran Vieira for free. The thickness of the front line, local rookie defender Balzaretti, striker Lupoli, foreign aid Van den Borre and Mazucci joined, plus the young people in the original team. This vigorous team has been performing extremely well since the start of the game and has been able to advance to the top 16 of the UEFA Cup, which fully illustrates the strength of Fiorentina. .

It is not so easy for Everton to retreat away from home in the first leg. In his recent training, Moyes also focused on the team's defensive system, especially how to contain the midfielders of the Fiorentina team. Moyes has worked hard on this.

Moyes' idea is actually very simple. The practice of defense indicates that Everton will play very carefully this away game. It's good to get a draw away. If you get a few more away goals, it will be safer. Li Yu will become the key player for the team to get away goals.

Since his return in February, Li Yu has been in excellent form. The media has selected him as the most powerful winner of the best player in February. Of course, there is one of them. He and Cristiano Ronaldo are both very popular. The competition between the two has to continue from the shooter list to the monthly Good player.

The media is also happy to talk about two people. One is the handsome man of Manchester United No. 7, with many fans around the world.

The other is Everton No. 22, a hot Chinese supernova with an unparalleled huge fan base.

When Cristiano Ronaldo was interviewed by the media, when he talked about Li Yu, he always habitually curled his lips. The media knew that this was a Portuguese speaking habit, but the problem was that when he talked about Li Yu, the number of times he curled his lips made all the media feel that except for habitual movements, Cristiano Ronaldo might The number of times you have curled your mouth should also be a lot.

Are there any conflicts between the two?

"Do you think Li Yu has any hope for the best player in February?"

The media is very bad. Obviously, it is giving Cristiano Ronaldo a set.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo answered confidently and simply. He did not avoid Li Yu at all, "He has no hope, because his opponent is me!"

All media reporters found Cristiano Ronaldo's curling mouth again.

"Please predict the final ownership of the golden boots of this season's league?"

"Generally speaking, I don't like to make predictions. Golden Boot measures the overall performance of a shooter throughout the season. I can only say that whoever performs better in the season is eligible for this award!" Cristiano Ronaldo is still confident. Although he doesn't say his name, the media knows that what he said is actually himself. Cristiano Ronaldo has some narcissistic problems. Since his debut, he has been familiar with the media, but today he seems a little modest.

The real problem is now, "What do you think of Li Yu, a competitor? Or do you think he was created by luck as before?

"What? Li Yu? Ha ha, he is a person who can score goals. Of course, goals often have the help of luck, which is an important factor that everyone knows. However, my luck is also good. The number of goals will definitely surpass him!" Cristiano Ronaldo talked about the rise and finally said what the media wanted to hear most in the end.

C Luo interviewed another protagonist, Li Yu!

All kinds of media ran into obstacles everywhere and couldn't find a good opportunity. Li Yu only responded to all the media with one sentence, "Finally, look at the list and talk with facts!"
