This poor performance not only humiliated the once famous Red Army in Europe, but also made Liverpool coach Evans’ position shaky. Although Liverpool played the most pleasing offensive football in Evans (note that Wenger has just taken over at this time and has not injected enough gorgeous atmosphere into Arsenal), even if Liverpool played well against the background of winning the league championship for seven consecutive years, it would be possible to completely stabilize Evans’ position.
This is a world of winners and losers, especially for a giant like Liverpool. If there is no heavyweight champion, it will be a losing season.
Up to now, the top management of Liverpool Football Club has been criticized after seeing the team’s poor performance in the Champions League last season. Evans received a severe warning from the top management of Liverpool-if he can’t lead the team to break through the group stage successfully, the club will seriously consider whether it is necessary for him to stay.
Evans immediately protested strongly to the top management for reaching this requirement. After all, the four teams in this group are very strong. Liverpool’s strength is not dominant. Florence is the European hegemon. Real Madrid is the champion of La Liga. Even Leverkusen, who is considered to be the worst, is not worse than himself in overall strength. In his view, the club’s rigid requirement is purely a head cramp.
Evans protested that the top management of Liverpool had revised the bottom line to some extent, requiring Evans to win the third place in the group (the third place in the group is qualified to participate in the UEFA Cup). If even Leverkusen, a team that they see as a diaosi, can’t be suppressed, then there is a reason to dismiss Evans.
When Zhuang Ge heard about the chaos in Liverpool from Karin, he silently said sorry to Evans, and Evans wouldn’t be so passive if he hadn’t let Liverpool have the chance to participate in the Champions League this year.
Chapter 562 Today is worse than yesterday’s Sampdoria
Evans’ situation stops here. Now let’s turn our attention from Liverpool to Florence.
After returning to Italy, Florence ushered in an Italian Cup competition, which was different from the single-game knockout system in the first round. Since then, the Italian Cup competition has adopted a home and away two-round system.
This time, Florence’s opponent in the Italian Cup is Sampdoria, a navy corps that has changed year by year.
On October 26th, the first round match between the two teams was held as scheduled at laris Stadium, the home of Sampdoria.
This summer, influenced by mantovani’s continued poor record in the transfer market and other factors, Sampdoria lost his old captain and team spiritual leader Roberto Mancini’s coach Eriksson’s transfer to Real Madrid and the club for several months, and finally landed on Iberia with a value of 10,000 dollars.
In order to make up for the negative impact of these people leaving the team, George W. mantovani invited Mei Nuodi, the coach who led the Pampas Eagle to win the first World Cup meritorious service, to introduce the golden bomber Klinsmann from Bayern Munich to partner Montera in the front line. In addition, George W. mantovani also spent a lot of money to buy Angel Morales from the Argentine independent team according to Mei Nuodi’s suggestion. The Argentine coach believes that this young man can become the second Diego Maradona.
In Florence, influenced by the team’s recent consecutive battles, Capello continued to rotate the team’s starting lineup in this game to keep the players competitive and minimize their chances of being injured due to fatigue.
So in this game, Capello sent a set of main players and substitutes to mix and match the starting goalkeeper De Sang Ke Tis according to the suggestion of the physiotherapy center. The four defenders are fortunato, Stam, Starr and angloma. In midfield, Rui Costa became the core of Florence’s on-site competition organization, while Brazilian ze Roberto helped the Portuguese attract the attention of the opposing defenders so that Costa could organize the attack from the ground.
The other two starting midfield places were won by tommasi and Zati. These two young players are mainly responsible for Florence midfield defense. After all, although Zeroberto and Rui Costa have high defensive enthusiasm, their defensive ability can also play a harassment. Therefore, the defensive area is huge and the physical strength is abundant. tommasi and Zati are Capello’s first choice.
The striker hasn’t had a chance to play for a long time. Julio Cruz made his debut. His partner is alien Ronaldo.
After the game, Sampdoria played at home, but was beaten by Florence in his own half!
Cruz, Ronaldo, Costa, Zerroberto and others formed an attack line, which completely suppressed Sampdoria players’ wave after wave of attacks, making Sampdoria’s gate like a lonely boat floating in a huge wave, which may overturn at any time!
It’s not that Sampdoria hasn’t tried to counterattack everywhere. It’s possible to have Veron, the master of the ball, and a first-class striker like Montera seize several opportunities to counterattack and score goals.
However, Sampdoria sadly met a state of Qijiade Sang Ke Tis.
Although this is the second time that De Sang Ke Tis made his debut for Florence, he did not have the slightest stage fright in the game, but showed excellent competitive state. First, he made a decisive attack in the 21 ST minute and confiscated Montera’s single-handed ball; Then, in the 20th minute, Veron kicked the ball straight into the corner of the goal to get the bottom line. After Veron kicked the corner, he jumped high and picked the ball in the middle with both hands to let Sampdoria players who were going to grab the goal return … De Sang Ke’s wonderful performance ran through the whole game!
If it is an act of god to encounter a state of Chijiade Sang Ke Tis, then the group of incompetent teammates around Veron and Montera will be a man-made disaster
Mei Nuodi’s striker combination in the game can be called luxury golden bomber Klinsmann, three-time Serie A Golden Boot winner signori and small plane Montera making their debut at the same time!
In terms of fame and book strength, the trio is by no means inferior to other European giants, and they are in very good season. Klinsmann also scored 15 goals in the Bundesliga and signori scored 15 goals in Lazio, not to mention the silver boots in Serie A this season. He has proved his ability.
In any case, Sampdoria’s front line combination is enough for a Serie A team’s defense line to drink a pot. However, as far as the actual effect of the season is concerned, the trio well proves the view that football is not a simple addition and subtraction.
Klinsmann and signori suffered a long-term goal shortage in the season, which led to the seemingly powerful front trident, but it can still be supported by Montera alone.
The introduction of Morales by Diego Maradona’s successor proved to be a high-priced parallel import. Facing the iron defense of Serie A defenders, the Argentine front waist often disappeared from the stadium for dozens of minutes.
Mancini, who was in charge of the last old captain, and Kalumbu, the midfielder, flew away, and with such a bunch of incompetent teammates, even if Montera and Veron were awesome, they would be hard to beat each other with two fists.
In the 16th minute of the game, Zerroberto passed the defensive Baleri on the left, then sent out the middle road and dived directly to the top with Cruz, changed the flight direction and the ball flew straight into Sampdoria’s gate!
In the 37th minute, after attracting Baleri’s attention, Zerroberto gave the ball to the sleeve and inserted it into fortunato, who hit the ball and helped Cruz knock on Sampdoria again. The score became 2-0!
In the 62nd minute, Cruise’s third header broke the goal guarded by fabrizio Long, and Mannini’s old age was exposed in front of Cruise’s header bombing again and again!
Cruise was very excited when he scored a hat trick on his first start of the season. The Argentine center ran to the stands where the Florence fans were, took off his jersey and waved wildly, enjoying the cheers of the Florence fans and the scolding from Sampdoria fans.
In the end, Florence took a victory away from laris Stadium with a hat trick of Cruz.
Chapter 563 rashly in November (a)
After the match with Sampdoria, Florence ushered in the seventh round of Serie A three days later. This time, Viola played against Piacenza Club, which is also the parent team of filippo inzaghi.
Piacenza, who passed the relegation play-offs this season, got a lot of broadcast income this summer, but this huge sum of money was transferred to his own account by their boss, and there was no plan to reinforce the team.
So in Serie A, Piacenza sold the team’s main goalkeeper Tibby and introduced several veterans and unknown young players to make up the numbers.
As a result of this stingy Piacenza boss, the team only scored two draws, four losses and only accumulated two points in the first six rounds of the league and sat firmly at the bottom of the standings.
When Fiorentina, the first European overlord in the league, faces Piacenza, the bottom of the points, the result will be like a heel.
Although Piacenza offered an iron barrel array for the small team to guard the home game, it was long expected that Capello would meet this situation. Capello sent a number of long-range shooters and Italian ball masters including Roberto Carlos, Davies, effenberg and batistuta to prepare long-range shots and positioning balls to break the opponent’s goal.
In addition, Capello also sent filippo inzaghi, a goal-oriented striker, to position himself in this game, that is, to send the ball into the opponent’s goal in all reasonable ways!
After the game, Florence, the home team, quickly occupied the field and took the initiative to force Piacenza players out of the restricted area instead of blocking the bus in front of the door. At the same time, the players also make full use of the weakness of their opponents’ lack of personal ability to grasp the foul place, and frequently break through to create excellent frontcourt positioning balls
In the 33rd minute, effenberg was put down by Piacenza players when he broke through, and the landlord awarded Florence a penalty area near the top of the arc. batistuta was directly responsible for the penalty. He didn’t challenge any curveball, but directly volleyed at this position!
Goalkeeper Serigny, who just transferred from Sampdoria this summer, was unable to see the ball fly into the goal because of a bit problem.
One ahead of Florence!
After losing the ball, Piacenza players panicked. After all, the purpose of the iron bucket array is to give up the attack and keep a draw. If you are lucky enough, it will help your opponent to attack for a long time and not be anxious. Once you succeed, you can take the initiative.
However, now they have been beaten by their opponents, which means that Tietong has lost its proper meaning. When it comes, they should never go. Not only the players have not made up their minds, but even the coach Piacenza on the sidelines has not made up his mind.
Therefore, after the re-ball, the thoughts were not unified. Piacenza’s players did not play their fists, while Florence helped the home team to fall into chaos and attack on a large scale!
In the 30th minute, Davies’ long-range shot from 25 meters away was blocked by Serigny’s fists. Inzaghi keenly grasped this opportunity, grabbed the ball in front of the opposing defender and directly hit the goal to rewrite the score by 2-0!
One more goal and Piacenza players will naturally be more chaotic. Some people want to attack and get back the score. Some people think that solid defense is before chasing the points … Repeat the rhythm just now. Piacenza people don’t realize that they are entering a vicious circle.
Finally, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score was fixed at six!
Batistuta and Cruz, the half-time substitute, each scored a goal. Roberto Carlos also scored a league goal with a long-range shot in the last few minutes of the game. filippo inzaghi scored a hat trick in front of his home team and was elected the best player in the game!
After Piacenza, it finally entered November, and European football once again ushered in the national team competition day, but this time FIFA virus did not have much impact on Florence, because this competition day was specially prepared for the team that was going to participate in the World Cup play-offs.
In the next two weeks, these teams will be divided into four groups. The winner will get a ticket for the 2008 World Cup, and the team that loses the game will have to sit in front of the TV and watch the World Cup with envy and jealousy in the summer of 2008.
By the way, as far as possible, the national team competition will not interrupt the normal rhythm of the club, and at the same time, it will also reduce the fatigue caused by frequent trips between the national teams and the club, so as to better protect their health. In the summer, UEFA President Johansson temporarily revised the schedule of the play-offs and merged the two rounds of play-offs into the first half of November, instead of playing the two games separately.
Johansson’s move was strongly supported by the players and clubs, but the football associations of various countries were very satisfied with the change of UEFA. The players were happy that they didn’t have to play a turn-back run in the club and the national team in just a few weeks. The club feels that it is no longer necessary to face a fragmented schedule; The national team is satisfied that it can have more training time to integrate the team’s combat effectiveness.
With this humanistic move, Johansson’s image in people’s minds has been greatly improved, which has once again strengthened the Swedish old man’s discourse in UEFA.
It is precisely because of Johansson’s strong position that the UEFA president has the confidence. At the just-called ministerial meeting, he sternly refused to let Platini, the French executive Committee, take the UEFA executive Committee meeting, which made the former French superstar’s abacus fall again.
Speaking of UEFA, let’s look at the national team again. Due to the rise of Florence, the old Maldini’s Italian national team theory has changed a lot in terms of array and tactics. This change eventually led to the result that Italy did not suffer a bad defeat in the last two rounds as in history and had to face two World Cup play-offs with Russia.
