The Era of Emerald

When the night of April 1995, 4 shrouded the city of Milan, the San Siro Stadium, which had been silent for three days, once again glowed with amazing vitality!However, this time it was not Inter Milan that aroused the enthusiasm of the fans, but another giant in Milan City-the former European king AC Milan.

Some people may ask, AC Milan played an away game last weekend, how can it be said that their home stadium San Siro was only quiet for three days?At least it has been more than a week!

Let me explain here that the home court of the Milan duo is actually the same, but it was renamed the Meazza Stadium in 1980, because the player it commemorates is one of the greatest strikers in the history of Inter Milan. Therefore, the fans of AC Milan still use the former name of the stadium-San Siro out of the sense of confrontation between the deadly enemies.

San Siro and Meazza are actually just two names of the same stadium.

It is precisely because of this that the Italian Football Association and UEFA will be extremely cautious when arranging the schedule for the Milan duo. When the two teams have games on the same day, the two giants must be one host and one guest, otherwise they will wait. When it comes to the second round, the schedules of the two teams will definitely not be arranged because they are both home games.

Zhuang Mingge sometimes guesses in his heart that the reason why San Siro Stadium has the reputation of "vegetable field" is also inseparable from this point-think about it, when the turf maintenance time of a stadium is less than half of that of other venues, How could it be expected that it has first-class turf, and it is trampled by more than 20 big men every week, no matter how good the turf is, it does not have such a strong recovery ability.

Moreover, since the stadium is shared by the Milan duo, there are also many inconveniences in maintaining the stadium or updating the venue facilities. In history, the Milan duo have often wasted their saliva on the issue of how much each side invested, even though their owners are quite capable. money.

Although there are various inconveniences in sharing stadiums, in Europe, there are still many cases where two teams share a stadium, such as the Olympic Stadium shared by Bayern Munich and Munich 1860, the Albania shared by Juventus and Turin. The UB Stadium, the Ferraris Stadium shared by ** and Sampdoria, etc...

There are many reasons for this situation. For example, when the stadium was built, it was jointly funded by the two clubs, or the two clubs were split from one family, which would cause this phenomenon.

Gossip aside, let’s say that the Fiorentina players finally looked forward to the Coppa Italia semi-finals after three days of suffering at the Pinettina base. At this time, they arrived at the venue ahead of schedule and were chatting in the visiting team’s locker room at the San Siro Stadium.

"Ahh! It's finally the day!" Effenberg stretched his waist in the locker room, and said, "Inter Milan's training base is really terrible. I stayed there for three days. Everything is wrong with me."

"Hey, Stefan, don't be so squeamish, okay?" Batistuta smiled, thinking that the comfortable environment created by the club for the players really spoiled the appetite of his teammates. The hardware facilities of this kind of giants are starting to look down on, "Besides, you can't compare everything with us in Florence. You must know that our training base was built only the year before last, and all the standards are world-class. How could an old antique like Pinettina, which was built in the 60s and has not undergone much modernization, be in the same condition as ours?"

Building the first-class hardware facilities in Europe is also one of the measures taken by the Fiorentina club led by Zhuang Mingge to strengthen the players' sense of belonging to Fiorentina. Good team, after all, it is more beneficial to prolong their career life.

Since Fiorentina just played a league game three days ago, considering that some players' physical fitness may not be able to keep up in this intensive schedule, Ranieri made certain adjustments to Fiorentina's starting lineup for this game.

On the front line, Tinker, who had tasted the sweetness in the match against Inter Milan, continued to arrange three forwards. Roberto Baggio, who played a full 90 minutes in the last game, got a chance to rest in this game. Frenchman Djokovic Kraft got the starting chance.

The midfield is still a combination of Tacchinardi, Davis and Effenberg, while generals such as Di Biagio, Kripa and Rui Costa are sitting on the bench waiting to be called at any time.

As for the defense line, it is the point that tinkerers have changed the most. Because AC Milan's wing attack is quite sharp, whether it is Maldini on the left or Panucci on the right, they are the top full-backs in Europe. Both offense and defense are extremely stable, so Ranieri put Lanner and Bilindley, who are more defensively stable, in the starting list.Zambrotta lost the election because he was too young and could easily be overwhelmed by Maldini and Donadoni, who were at their peak, while Fortunato passed through the death line due to physical reasons. He still can't adapt to the rhythm of double matches a week.

The central defender combination is still Ferrara and Nesta. After all, AC Milan's two forwards, Weah and Kluivert, belong to the kind of fairly versatile forwards, and only the two of them can limit the two black forwards. If it was Wiljo Ward or Filicano, they would definitely be thrown away by them.

……

It seems that because of the distraction of politics, the big boss of AC Milan, Berlusconi, has not come to San Siro to watch the game for quite a long time, especially the Bordeaux team led by Dugari and Micoud from the UEFA Cup. After being eliminated (due to Zhuang Minge's golden finger, Zidane left Bordeaux early, so Micoud also joined this Ligue [-] club earlier than in history), Bei, who was disappointed that the club missed another Grand Slam opportunity Lusconi devoted most of his energy to the political arena, and the affairs of AC Milan were completely handed over to Galliani.

"Manager Galliani, long time no see."

"Chairman Corleone, welcome to San Siro Stadium to watch the game." Baldy Jia also bowed slightly to Zhuang Mingge. Although the two clubs are now playing brilliantly in the league, there is actually no difference between AC Milan and Fiorentina. What unresolvable deep hatred, so the most basic courtesy is still there.

However, something that caused Zhuang Mingge a headache soon appeared, because at this time, Jiabald saw that there were no paparazzi around him, so he brought up the old story again: "By the way, Chairman Corleone, I wonder if your side is now There are plans to sell Filicano, and our Milan side is willing to make a very generous offer for him..."

"Well, Manager Galliani, why don't we talk about this matter after the game is over. Look at the players from both sides have already entered the field, let's" Zhuang Mingge, who was dizzy by Galliani, hastened I found an excuse to put this topic aside for the time being.

At this time, the referee's whistle came from the stadium, and the first round of the match between Fiorentina and AC Milan officially began!
