    Perugia is the capital of the Umbria region in central Italy. It is a small cultural city with a population of only 150,000.  In 1905, Perugia and Fortebrasio merged to form the current Perugia Club.  The 1970s were the peak period of Perugia. In 1975, under the leadership of coach Castagner, Perugia won the Serie B championship that year and was promoted to Serie A for the first time in history.  Under Tagenell's magical command, Perugia remained undefeated in the 1978-79 season, but finished second due to too many draws. This was also the best result in the history of the Perugia team.  In 1981, Perugia fell to Serie B again, and even slipped to Serie D for a time. After returning to Serie A in the late 1990s, Perugia took on a new look under the leadership of coach Cosmi. The team experienced a lot of losses almost every year.  The main players are in pain, but Cosmi can always turn corruption into magic and miraculously avoid relegation.  Perugia's coach Gauci is a coach who doesn't like to take the usual path. His business strategies are jaw-dropping. In the 1999-2000 season, Perugia successfully introduced the Japanese midfielder Hidetoshi Nakata and molded him into a world-class player.  star, and then successfully sold it to Serie A giant Roma, making a huge profit.  In the 2002-2003 season, Perugia tried to repeat the same trick and recruited Chinese player Ma Mingyu and South Korean forward Ahn Jung-hwan. However, in the end, Ma Mingyu returned to Sichuan Quanxing without playing a formal game, leaving the Chinese with no hope of realizing their Serie A dream.  Turn into nothing.  Ahn Jung-hwan, who came to Perugia with Ma Mingyu, became the first Korean player to land in Serie A.  However, Ahn Jung-hwan scored a golden goal in the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan to send the Italian team back to his hometown, which made Italian fans very angry.  Gao Qi "accorded to public opinion" and wanted to fire Ahn Jung-hwan. This season, Gao Qi introduced Saadi, the son of Libyan dictator Gaddafi, to the team. However, Saadi's level is about the same as Ma Mingyu. He has not played a single game.  He was suspended due to doping incidents.  Gauci also planned to introduce Swedish female stars Svensson and Ljungberg and German female star Prinz, but they were all rejected.  Gauci's business strategy can be said to be whimsical and even a bit wild, but in Serie A, where Milan and Juventus dominate the sky, Gauci has made small Perugia the focus of attention from fans and the world's media. This has made  The fans of Perugia feel proud and proud. Even if Perugia falls to the point of needing to play in the relegation play-offs this season, they also support Gauci and Perugia under Gauci's leadership.  On online forums, when interviewed by the media, fans complained about Gauci and Perugia and helped Perugia explain, instead of attacking the players, coaches and chairpersons.  "Gaucci is right. Can you say that the referee didn't harm them? Today's football is so dirty that I can't stand it anymore. It's almost embarrassing us Italians! Let's watch the motorcycles! Look at ours  Rossi is so great!¡± ¡°How big is the gap in Serie A now, was it like this before? What¡¯s the point? If it were a game for the rich, I guess Carraro would have been there.  I can¡¯t survive. This is not Italian football!¡± ¡°I have watched a few games this season, but I really can¡¯t bear to watch anymore. We are bullied too much by the referee!¡±  So strong, the more the referee oppresses us, the more we have to stand up. I don¡¯t agree with the strike. We will persist until the last minute. We are not afraid of being relegated. Our relegation is a shame for Italian football, not Perugia!¡±  After Qi successfully turned the poor results caused by his poor management into the unfair treatment suffered by Perugia, he launched the slogan "Everyone is united" in order to summon fans from all over the city to the stadium to support him.  Cheers for the game against Fiorentina.  At the same time, he also reduced the price of game tickets to a uniform, unprecedented low price: 5 euros.  Lao Gaoqi said this about the price reduction: "The city of Perugia and the fans who come to the stadium to cheer us are our biggest motivation. Only with them can we achieve the final goal. We hope that the price reduction will make  Let¡¯s share the results of our current and future efforts.¡± On June 16, as the European Cup was in full swing, fans in the small Italian city of Perugia were looking forward to the start of the game.  However, this game is neither France vs. Croatia, nor Italy vs. Sweden, but a Serie A play-off battle, with Perugia vs. Fiorentina at home.  The 28,000 tickets at Leonardo Curry Stadium were sold out three days before the game.  Club leader Xiao Gaoqi said with confidence: "A packed stadium will be very beneficial to Perugia. Facing such an important game, we need the widespread support of Perugia fans." Because the fans who went to watch the game passed  Many, a few hours before the game, the roads near the stadium were blocked. Due to the hot weather, most fans tied their scarves on their arms instead of putting them around their necks.Holding the club flag, most of the fans had already entered the stadium more than an hour before the game, and the shouts could be heard half a kilometer away from the stadium.  After finally squeezing into the tunnel, the entire arena was like a purple-red and white ocean.  The audience was buzzing with people, waving flags and shouting one after another.  Except for some seats reserved for fans coming from Florence, the rest of the stadium was occupied by densely packed Perugia fans.  The game was about to start. When the announcer announced the entry of Fiorentina players, the fans in Perugia booed.  Just after announcing the Florence lineup, the announcer shouted excitedly: "Let us welcome the arrival of our chairman Gao Qi with warm applause." In an instant, the applause was like thunder, everyone stood up, and colorful flags were flying on the field.  The fans shouted Gauci's name loudly, as if Gauci was not the sinner who brought Perugia into the relegation zone this season, but a hero who fought against the violent and dirty Football Association. People had to admire Old Man Gauci.  Superhuman skill and charm.  Standing outside the VIP box, the club¡¯s president, Old Man Gao, also waved frequently to greet the fans, looking confident.  ?Then, the announcer began to read out the list of Perugia players. Every time a player's name was read, the fans responded with warm applause.  Around the stadium, some fans began to set off red and white smoke bombs, and the Perugia fans sang the Perugia team anthem loudly, making the atmosphere at home very lively.  The starting lineup of both sides in this game is as follows: Perugia is a 442 formation: Goalkeeper: Karachi; Defenders: Ze Maria, Diamotni, Fresi, Di Loreto, Midfielder: France  Villano; Di Francesco, Obodo, Cordre; forwards: Ravanelli, Bosroyd. Fiorentina¡¯s formation is 433: goalkeeper: Cejas; defenders: Vialli, Maggio, Dericari  , Lucarelli Jr.  Midfielder: Savini, Fontana, Piangrelli, forward: Chen Yu; Rigano, Fantini The referee is the famous international referee Rossetti.  Florence¡¯s head coach Mondonico and Perugia¡¯s head coach Cosmi were both surprised and happy when they saw their opponents¡¯ lineup.  What I am happy about is that the vast majority of the starting players did not exceed my expectations, but I am surprised that there are still one or two positions that completely exceeded my expectations.  In Perugia's starting lineup, forward Bosroyd's start surprised Mondonico. He originally thought it should be Uruguayan forward Sarayeta, who was on loan from Juventus, rather than the Englishman Bosroyd.  Of course, Bothroyd is not bad. The English teenager transferred from Coventry is 1.91 meters tall. He is very fast and has strong impact. He can attack from the midfield and frontcourt instead of standing in the penalty area.  , praised by Cosmi: "half like Bossani, half like Adriano".  Among Florence's starting lineup, what surprised Cosmi the most was the forward. Fantini started instead of Graffierdi. This is a very strange phenomenon, because Fantini had always played as a substitute before.  As for the forwards, Fiorentina used Chen Yu and Rigano. The three forwards played less, and if they did, it was Graffierdi, but today it was Fantini who appeared at the right wing position.  However, Cosmi is not afraid. He has already studied Florence thoroughly before. Even the substitute Fantini is familiar to him and has introduced it to the players, but he does not have Chen Yu, Rigano and Grafiedi.  So detailed.  Today Di Livio is still sitting on the bench, and the captain on the field is Chen Yu.  Seeing Chen Yu calmly and confidently exchanging team flags and emblems with Perugia captain Zemaria, shaking hands and picking sides, he completely lost his original hesitation. Di, the only remaining 38-year-old veteran of Florence who bid farewell to Serie A in tears two years ago,  The blood in Livio's heart was boiling, and he whispered in his heart: "Serie A, I will be back soon.
