The Era of Emerald

ps: First ask for a recommendation ticket here, thank you everyone...

Four days after the game against Como, Fiorentina ushered in Vicenza, their second opponent in the warm-up match, at home.

In this game, Luca Toni, who had just transferred from Fiorentina to Vicenza this summer, performed well. Florence, which is in the running-in period, capsized.

Although due to Tony's outstanding performance, Viola was in a disadvantageous situation from the beginning of the game, but in the end Fiorentina still relied on the outstanding offensive performance of Ljungberg, Deco, Di Natale and other new players. Scored three goals in 10 minutes, helping Viola equalize the score at the last moment, and won a draw at home.

After this warm-up match ended, the outside media lowered their predictions on the prospects of Fiorentina's new season. Naturally, the reason was that after Capello's team left after Batty and Davis and other generals transferred one after another, Fiorentina was on both offensive and defensive ends. There seems to be quite a big problem, especially in the warm-up match against Vicenza, the Fiorentina players were beaten by their opponents, and they did not reflect the strength that a Triple Crown team should have.

However, Zhuang Mingge obviously did not take these views to heart.In his opinion, when the main players such as Toldo, Nesta, and Vieri all missed the first two warm-up matches due to the World Cup, Fiorentina, who is short of major generals, will have such a warm-up match. Performance is normal.If even the starting lineup of these substitutes and young players can suppress Vicenza, who is playing with all the main players, then Zhuang Minge will be surprised by this.

In addition, another reason for Fiorentina's unconvincing performance in the warm-up match is also closely related to the fact that Fiorentina coach Fabio Capello used a large number of newcomers in the starting list in these two games.

After all, the lack of tacit understanding between the players and the unfamiliarity with the Italian football style will cause the players to make all kinds of mistakes in the game, and these mistakes often lead to the team conceding the ball, which in turn affects the The trend of the whole game.

This is especially the case for Makelele, who was used as a substitute for Davis and Di Biagio. Since he had never played in Italy before, he adapted to Italy's football style, which is very different from France. He has been running in with his teammates constantly, so it is a matter of course that he performed mediocrely in these two warm-up matches.

Therefore, for Makelele, who has been questioned by the outside world, whether it is Zhuang Mingge or Capello, they have shown great patience with him, because they want a rookie, especially those who need to make contributions to the team on the defensive end. Contributing players are integrated into the existing tactical system, and they must pay some price.

The painful period is a period that cannot be avoided by any team when it is undergoing renewal.

What Capello can do now is to make the best use of every warm-up match and the opportunities of team training, so that every newcomer can get familiar with Fiorentina's tactics as soon as possible, and form a strong enough relationship with those old players. The tacit understanding, so as not to be embarrassing on the court during the official game.

While Capello was racking his brains to figure out how to integrate Makelele, Deco and other newcomers into the team as quickly as possible, an election was going on at the UEFA headquarters in Nissan, Switzerland.

As one of the two candidates to participate in the UEFA presidential election, former French football superstar Platini, who once served as the head coach of the French national team and the chairman of the French World Cup Organizing Committee, is sitting at the In my seat, my heart was full of anxiety and uneasiness.

When Johansson defeated Blatter, whom Avelan ardently praised, in June of this year, and was successfully elected as the president of FIFA, Platini realized that he must take advantage of Johansson's "high school" opportunity as soon as possible in Europe. The Football Federation has completed the grab for class and power.Otherwise, once someone from Johansson's faction boards and secures the seat of UEFA president, then without FIFA's default "foreign aid", Platini will be even more famous and prestigious. I'm afraid it will be difficult to shake the opponent's position.

In fact, the reason why Platini was able to defeat Johansson to be elected UEFA president in history was because the then FIFA president Blatter blatantly campaigned for Platini's campaign, which led many UEFA members to Under the pressure of FIFA; on the other hand, it is because Johansson is indeed old, and the old Swedish man who has handed over UEFA affairs to Olsen and others for a long time is considered by many people to have no energy. Presiding over the overall situation allowed Platini, who was considered to be more energetic and dynamic, to take advantage of the loopholes, defeating Johansson, and ascended the throne of UEFA president.

Therefore, as mentioned before, in the case that Johansson has been promoted to the chairman of FIFA, if Platini fails to seize this opportunity to successfully assume the position, but is successfully completed by the opponent's internal transfer of power within UEFA, then The French who have no advantage will most likely never have a bright future!

Therefore, at UEFA's internal meeting to discuss the new chairman, Platini jumped out so impatiently, raised objections to Johansson's designation of Olsen to succeed him, and demanded that the UEFA chairman be called ahead of schedule. General elections, where representatives from UEFA member states decide who is more eligible

At the beginning, Platini felt that the probability of his own election success was quite high. First of all, it was because his main competitor Olsen was not as well-known as Platini, which caused him to work hard in UEFA. He has worked for many years and has done a lot of practical things, but he lacks the necessary mass base.

Secondly, Platini's participation in the campaign at this time has another advantage, that is, as the chairman of the World Cup Organizing Committee, he successfully hosted the just-concluded World Cup in France.Although the performance of the host French team in the World Cup can only be regarded as unsatisfactory, in general, this World Cup is still a very successful one. Therefore, with the success of the World Cup, Platini's ability has naturally been very high. Evaluation, Its influence in European football associations has naturally risen to another level.

However, shortly after Platini announced his participation in the UEFA presidential election, a piece of news that shocked him reached his ears!

It turned out that Johansson's side did not let Olsen participate in the presidential election as the French had expected, but launched another heavyweight player in European football, whose reputation is only higher than Platini's. No low "football emperor", German Franz Beckenbauer!

Now, Platini finally knows the meaning of stealing chickens and losing money.
