Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Coppa Italia is the best training opportunity for Florence. After defeating Piacenza ∶0 in the first round, Florence easily defeated Como 3∶0 at the Stadio Franchi a week later. This time the goal was scored.  The ones are Portillo, Chen Yu and Rigano.  The third game against Verona is a key match in the group stage. Previously, Florence won two games and got U points. Piacenza lost to Florence and beat Verona and got 3 points. Verona beat Como and lost to Pia.  Cenza scored 3 points. In the last game, there is no doubt that Piacenza will get another three points from Como. It depends on the outcome between Verona and Florence. If Florence draws or wins, it will get three points in three games.  If you score more than 7 points, qualifying will be certain. If you lose, it will depend on the goal difference between the three teams.  Although the game was a bit difficult, Fiorentina returned to their home stadium, Stadio Franchi, with full confidence and played proactively. Rigano scored with a header in the first five minutes. Then Fiorentina became more courageous as they fought, and Chen Yu scored again in the 8th minute of the game.  A long shot scored, rewriting the score to: 0. In the 47th minute of the game, Rigano scored another goal, and then assisted Portillo. Florence basically sealed the victory. Then Mondonico made substitutions and practiced the lineup, and the rest of the time changed.  It became garbage time.  Fiorentina won all three games and qualified from the group stage without any doubt. At this time, the summer transfer window was officially closed, and the money-burning war between European powers throughout the summer was finally settled.  Italy is still a force that cannot be ignored in the transfer market, but it is no longer the core of the European transfer market. The biggest transfer this summer no longer comes from the Apennine Peninsula. It was transferred from Everton for 40UU million euros at the last moment.  Manchester United's Wayne Rooney became the top transfer bidder this summer, and Didier Drogba, who moved from Marseille to Chelsea, became the second most expensive player at 36UU euros.  The team that burns the most money is no longer from the Apennines. Chelsea waved rubles and bought people without looking at the price. They spent 200 million euros in one summer and became the number one rich man in Europe.  Although Serie A is no longer as money-spending as it was in the past, even in the era of rampant economic crisis, the old and new giants in Apennine still put on a show of spending a lot of money.  Juventus is not the most aggressive in terms of the number of players it introduces, but the transfer king in Italy this summer is still the old woman.  Under the careful direction of "Old Fox" Moggi, Juventus staged an 8-in-8-out drama.  Our cunning Moggi first captured Zebina and Capello at lightning speed, and then acquired Emerson in a protracted battle. All three of them came from Juve's arch-enemy Roma.  On the last day of August, Juventus added the Swede Ibrahimovic, who indirectly eliminated the Italian team with a heel in the European Championship, to its sect. After Cannavaro joined, Moggi finally completed this move.  A great addition to the series.  Except for the thin forward line, Juventus's lineup has reached the level of its heyday in other positions.  18 in and 16 out, this set of numbers shows that Inter Milan has had an extremely busy summer.  People said that Moratti was quietly gambling. He used three high salaries to support Cooper and Zaccheroni, and used money to satisfy all Mancini's desires.  Although the oil tycoons are much more rational than before, Inter Milan's desire to buy has not diminished at all. Back then, Serie A "old fritters" such as Davis, Veron, Mihajlovic, Favalli and Ze Maria were all replaced by Mo.  Ratti took over the account, and if Juventus hadn't come from behind at the last moment, Inter Milan would still be the leader in the transfer market.  "Losing weight" is also the main theme of Inter Milan. In the process of buying and selling, the Nerazzurri finally realized their long-cherished wish to reduce redundant front-line personnel.  There is a proverb in Italy: "The winning team does not change." This is what AC Milan does.  The joining of Stam, Crespo and Dorasu can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, because Milan is already strong enough and can only make minor repairs without resorting to large-scale deployment.  But even if the signings are not large, both Stam and Crespo can be called "shock-level" transfers. The Rossoneri are just silent and a blockbuster.  Samuel, Zebina, Emerson and Capello are the core strengths of Roma, but without them, the Roma team will not be reduced to a second-rate team.  Ferrari, Meksese, Perrotta and Mido may not be as famous as them, but these international young fighters, together with Totti, Cassano, Chiwu and others, are also fully capable of defending the Eternal City.  City's honor.  Sicily also has an ambitious team, that is Palermo.  This year Palermo introduced a total of 18 players, ranking first in Serie A with Inter Milan and Reggina, but they only let go of 7 players, which is equivalent to introducing a team without selling one person.  Although the players introduced are not well-known, Palermo's ambitions are obvious. The goal of this dark horse is not to avoid relegation, but to disrupt the Serie A pattern with a new set of players.  Lazio was a seller for a summer, but became the biggest buyer on the last day. Rijin bought Rocchi, Sivilla, Seric, Filippini brothers, Gonzalez, Roberto, Ta  Lamonti and Mea almost completely made up for their original losses.  If we only measure it from the amount of money spent on introducing players, Fiorentina, which has made a "triple jump" in two years, is the transfer king of Serie A this year.After acquiring Jorgensen, Miccoli and Valdes on the last day, Fiorentina spent 300,000 euros in the summer transfer market. "Viola" has surpassed Palermo to become the largest spender in this summer's transfer market.  team.  From the perspective of the quality of introduced players, Fiorentina is not as good as Juventus and Inter Milan.  However, among the top three positions of the "money-burning kings", there must be newly promoted Fiorentina.  Lu Patelli, Hidetoshi Nakata, Jorgensen, Portillo, Ujfalusi, Miccoli, Maresca This series of names is not unfamiliar to fans: the Italian media all believe that the new Florence  Their strength is not much worse than the top four teams in Serie A. They have returned to Serie A as a wealthy team with a lot of money. They will definitely be a force that cannot be ignored this season.  After successful or even perfect recruitment, the biggest remaining problem for Florence is running-in.  Florence has bought a total of 11 players. These players have not yet become familiar with each other and have not developed a sense of loyalty to the new club. Players like Miccoli and Jorgensen were acquired before the deadline and did not even train normally.  After taking a few lessons, it will be difficult to twist them into a rope and form a fighting force in a short period of time.  After the Italian Cup qualifying group stage ended, there was still more than a week before the start of Serie A. During this period, Fiorentina actively contacted its opponents to warm up, while Inter Milan, who also had to adjust the lineup, was preparing for the Pirelli Cup game at this time. Inter Milan  His boss Moratti had a close relationship with Fiorentina's boss Della Valle, so he invited Fiorentina to participate.  The Pirelli Cup is sponsored by Tronchetti, the owner of Pirelli, the sponsor of Inter Milan. The game is a decisive game and is a friendly match.  Fiorentina was naturally overjoyed to be able to play against a giant like Inter Milan. Regardless of the fact that they had just finished the Italian Cup group stage, the two sides hit it off immediately, and the next day they had a 120-year-long match with the visiting Inter Milan at the Stadio Franchi.  Minutes of the match ended with Fiorentina defeating Inter Milan on a penalty kick to win the championship.  In this game, Mondonico formed a trident combination of Rigano, Chen Yu and Portillo. Former Real Madrid striker Portillo was still outstanding. He opened the scoring in the fifth minute and created a penalty kick.  The underperforming captain Chen Yu scored the penalty kick. The goals for Inter Milan were Cambiasso and Cruz.  In this warm-up match, Inter Milan basically played mainly young players and substitutes, while Fiorentina played all the main players, but being able to defeat a wealthy team like Inter Milan still made Fiorentina very happy, and it also increased a lot of confidence.  Then in the warm-up match against Sampdoria, Fiorentina won again: 0, which made Fiorentina head coach Mondonico feel confident and prepared to use the 433 attack formation. However, in the ensuing match, Reggina, Messina, Si  Fiorentina's confidence was dampened in a small tournament involving four teams from Jena and Fiorentina.  , they had one loss and two draws in three games and only scored two goals, ranking bottom among the four teams.  Although Miccoli, Ujfalusi, Jorgensen, Hidetoshi Nakata, Jigu, Obodo, and Valdez went to the national team to play in the World Cup qualifiers, Florence, which has many soldiers and generals, is not short of people, and the front three  Rigano, Chen Yu and Portillo are all there, as is the core midfielder Maresca. There is no Uyfalusi in the defense, and there are Delicari, Dainelli and Vialli.  A big central defender, his strength is almost unaffected. After the team defeated Inter Milan and Sampdoria, Florence fans thought they would see Florence beat three Serie A relegation teams again, but they didn't see it.  All we saw was that "Little Raul" Portillo frequently wasted his last kills, the big center Rigano failed to score in all kinds of embarrassing situations, and the "new God of War" Chen Yu was mediocre and only scored one goal, but came on as a substitute.  Di Natale scored his second of two goals in three games.  After the game, Mondonico comforted the fans that the warm-up match could not be compared with the official match. Florence's strength was still there. He believed that Florence would perform well in the next Serie A games, but this still could not dispel the shadow in the hearts of Florence fans.  Because of their new God of War, their savior performed mediocre in a season's warm-up matches and even in the Italian Cup, and was even worse than a substitute player. Although Florence has introduced many outstanding stars, Chen Yu's status in the hearts of fans  Still unique, if he is not in form, the fans will have no confidence.  After the game, the media was quite gloating. "Corriere dello Sport" said that it is unknown whether Florence will give its best in this kind of game, but one thing is for sure: good results are not simply based on tens of millions of euros of investment and some powerful players.  You can get it by just making a pile.  Fiorentina keeps saying that it wants to replace Roma and Lazio in the top four. Sunday's first Serie A game against Roma will test whether Fiorentina is louder or stronger.
