Therefore, Ferguson will clearly realize that Manchester United has completely lost the hope of turning over without the spiritual leader after cantona was sent off the field with a red card.
Seeing the other side take the initiative to admit defeat, Capello is not in the mood to let the players continue to be present and die with Manchester United. After all, the last few games in Florence are not easy to play. The situation is set, and there is no need to beat Reservoir Dogs again. It will not be fun in case of any accident.
So Capello also made a substitution. effenberg and Davis were replaced. The former was because they looked a little unstable. Capello was worried that the Germans would make trouble at the scene. The latter was slightly injured after being shoveled to the ground by cantona. Capello changed him for the purpose of protecting him, and warned Dibiagio, who was still present, to restrain his temper and avoid taking cards.
In the end, Florence beat visiting Manchester United 1-0 in the second round with a header from Cruz, who came off the bench, and became the first team to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League!
Chapter 436 Be agitated Sacchi
A day after the Premier League champion Manchester United was eliminated by a total score of 5-2 and entered the semi-finals, Florence’s opponents in the semi-finals of the Champions League finally surfaced and returned to the familiar Alpi Stadium. Juventus seems to have found the feeling of scoring goals. In this game, strikers such as Boksic and pierrot will visit Atletico Madrid.
In the end, the sheet army swallowed four bombs in the away game and lost to the Bianconeri. They reluctantly bid farewell to the first Champions League trip in the past two decades.
This means that Florence’s opponent in the semi-final is Juventus, who is also from Serie A. Two teams will play Serie A in the semi-final of the Champions League this season.
The other two seats in the semi-finals will not be decided until a week later after the other two quarter-finals. However, judging from the situation after the first leg, Ajax is really not a Bundesliga rival, so Bayern Munich and Dortmund have great hopes of joining hands to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Julio Cruz, the hero who helped Florence win the second round when Atletico Madrid was beaten to the ground by Juventus, had to stay in the club’s physiotherapy center for the night to treat his sequelae after being "specially photographed" by Capello.
"Ah ah ah! Please be lighter! Dr. Nelson! " Cruise screamed in a lounge in the physiotherapy center.
"You deserve it! Who told you to make Fabio (Capello) look so ugly in public? It’s already very cheap to punish you for doing five more groups of strength training. You know, Robert, who committed a crime once, ran three times around this training base and was still limited! I remember Robert, who was finally carried into this room by us. "Nelson said with a smile while giving Cruise a massage." If you don’t die, you won’t die. Why don’t you be white? "
"Who says I’m not white! But I was so happy at that time that I accidentally forgot … Ahhh! Dr. Nelson, be a little lighter! "
"Your little muscle strength is too bad, and don’t be so delicate. You know, Christian (vieri) can do twenty groups in one breath with this level of strength training."
"ah? True or false? Is that guy Christian still human? " Cruise gasped when he heard Nelson’s words. He was tired after working in a group today. vieri, the animal, trained twice as much as he did, and acted so casually!
"Christian’s physical fitness is based on the way he plays football, which requires his muscle strength to reach the level of protecting others, but he was far from reaching this standard before the physical therapy center was established."
"Is it possible that after Dr. Nelson discovered this, you specially arranged such a horrible training amount for that guy Christian?"
"That’s right. Of course, I’d like to add one more point here, that is, Christian’s diet is also carefully formulated by us professionals," Nelson said, adding some strength. "You are still too thin! If a cent is tall but not strong enough to score goals, he can be use as a clotheshorse by Fabio! "
"Ah ah! The waist is going to be broken … "
"Endure it! This is just! Beautiful days are waiting for you! Julio! "
"ah? Really? ! Help! ! ！”
……
Sacchi has been very upset recently.
Sacchi is not so upset because his boss and golfer Berlusconi decided to terminate his AC Milan contract at the end of the season. After all, he is now well-known in European football and it is not a problem to find a team willing to hire him as head coach. For example, Sacchi has already received coaching invitations from several clubs covering four major leagues.
The reason why Sacchi is so upset is simple, that is, he will face his enemy Florence again this weekend, and it will be at the home of AC Milan …
When the two teams confronted each other, AC Milan, once the European hegemon, was given seven goals by Florence in the away game and failed to score a goal. This result was not only regarded as a great shame by all Milan fans, but also nailed Sacchi firmly to the shame column.
In particular, when vieri celebrated the goal, he shouted "Alango, did you see it?" The slogan makes Sacchi, who has always cared about face, very faceless.
After that game, the Italian media turned over all the past events of Sacchi Florence. A series of evidences insinuated that the Italian national team was eliminated in the group stage largely because of Sacchi’s prejudice and narrow-mindedness.
Therefore, Sacchi said that he didn’t want to lose to Florence again.
God knows what articles those good media reporters will write to punish themselves if they lose again this moment …
Sacchi was lighting up the starting list for the weekend match against Florence the night before handing in the match list.
"Patrick is really restless. He has warned him not to make trouble everywhere, but he has made such a big scandal. Did you take my words as head coach to heart?" Sacchi saw Cruyvette’s name on the list, and his heart was in vain-Sacchi remembered that he had just read a report in the newspaper that a Dutch woman accused Cruyvette of raping her.
So Sacchi’s name disappeared from the list of ten people with a stroke of his pen.
"Well, Winston (bogarde) and Michel (reiziger) … I feel that they are still too young and lack enough experience. Are they more reliable than Billy (costacurta), Mauro (Tassotti) and Franco (baresi) in facing a strong team like Florence?"
So in Sacchi’s soliloquy, the starting positions of bogarde and reiziger are so miserable.
Sacchi didn’t think twice. Was it not because he believed in this defense line that he thought was experienced that he was once given a bottle of 7-up by Florence?
It seems that Sacchi wants to finish his revenge on Florence at home. The difficulty of this card is really raised by his own people …
Chapter 437 Don’t need to mobilize the game ()
Late on March 16th, Serie A ushered in the grand finale of the round. AC Milan sat at the San Siro Stadium to face the menacing Florence.
For AC Milan, this season is simply unbearable. The Rossoneri, who swept across Europe, were eliminated not only in the Champions League group stage, but also lost to the Parma Champion trophy in the Italian Cup early … Before the middle of the season, Milan fans were surprised to find that they supported the team with only Serie A to play.
If AC Milan every cloud has a silver lining focused on the league battlefield and won back the lost Serie A title for several years, it is estimated that no one will blame anything, but the point is that even if the Rossoneri need to concentrate on dealing with the league fans, they have not seen the team hand over a satisfactory report card. The team’s record in the league is much worse than before the winter break-after the winter break, AC Milan has won two games, drawn three games and lost four games in the league until now … Is this still the European powerhouse that scares people? ! This result is no different from the relegation team, ok!
What worries Milan fans even more is that head coach Sacchi didn’t devote himself to the study because of the poor team record, such as leading the team out of the predicament, but worked tirelessly to upgrade the scale of the team over and over again, from the most panucci to the later, and now even reiziger and bogarde are lying down.
And Berlusconi chose his friends with these players in Sacchi, so tragedies were born.
A violent conflict broke out with Sacchi. panucci was sold to Real Madrid during the winter transfer period. Sacchi said that without this scourge, AC Milan’s performance would be greatly improved. As a result, as soon as panucci arrived at Real Madrid, he made two assists in the Madrid derby, helping the team win the city’s sworn enemy 4-1. Instead, he sent away the panucci Rossoneri and got a bad record of one draw and two losses in the post-league …
The very different performances of the two teams, Real Madrid and Milan, after panucci’s transfer made Sacchi once again be labeled by the media as "self-centered".
In addition to panucci, three Dutch men, reiziger, Kluiwitt and bogarde, also expressed their dissatisfaction with the Sacchi people. However, they did not confront Sacchi like panucci, but euphemistically expressed to the head coach their desire to start in the game in private.
As a result … I believe everyone has seen that Tassotti and other senior officials are still the absolute main force of the team, while the new generation of "Dutch Three Musketeers" Kluivets are regarded by Milan fans as being held on the bench by Sacchi.
In this way, Sacchi led the launching of the team, which not only greatly consumed the Rossoneri’s considerable fighting capacity, but also stubbornly led the Rossoneri into the abyss step by step, which was the first-class team in Europe.
This can be seen from Sacchi’s arrangement in this game.
In this game, the starting goalkeeper of AC Milan was sebastiano rossi, who did well in Sampdoria last season. Pageto was unlucky, but he happened to be headstrong. Since Sacchi, the local rookie has actually made a start once or played in the Italian Cup …
The defense line Maldini and veteran Tassotti separated about the old captain baresi and costacurta, who has been 30 years old, partnered in the middle defense line; In front of them, the defensive lines are albertini and desailly, two Croats, Bo Ban, who is in charge of midfield organization, Bromquist and the winger are in charge of attacking and tearing Milan’s middle road. The forward line is composed of Liberian striker george weah and local striker Marco Simone. The Dutch genius Kluiwitt can sit in the stands of the San Siro Stadium to watch the game due to some objective factors.
Looking at the entire starting lineup of AC Milan, the 26-year-old players are only albertini and Bromquist. Marco Simone, Maldini, desailly and Bo Ban are all in their thirties.
Among the remaining five players, george weah and costacurta are thirty, sebastiano rossi is thirty-two, and baresi and Tassotti are thirty-six and thirty-seven.
From here, we can see Sacchi’s thoughts after Milan’s second palace, that is, the veteran.
To tell the truth, veterans can really help the team understand the game and have better technical skills than young people, but too many veterans appearing in the starting lineup will not only make the team lose their vitality, but also greatly suppress young people’s playing opportunities. Young players can’t get exercise and grow up smoothly. No outstanding rookie team can continue to believe in veterans … When these veterans can’t play anymore, tragedy will appear … The Bundesliga in the 1990s and Serie A in the 21st century are the best examples. Many teams in these two leagues have left the whole country in a state of neglect because of a large number of veterans.
At the turn of the century, the German national team claimed to have two superstars, Ballack and Kahn. When the World Cup in South Africa, Italy became a civilian team.
It is said that there is a problem in the thinking of the Sajijian team from the root.
Capello’s side sent a set of main and backup mix-and-match teams, vieri and Inzaghi, two good friends, as partners, French djorkaeff and Portuguese midfielder Rui Costa to deliver artillery shells to the first two strikers, while teenagers Zati and tommasi dragged behind to take charge of midfield defenders.
The defender Capello arranged for fortunato and angloma to be in charge of the wing; As for the central defender, although Sacchi abandoned Cruyvette, who has the strongest comprehensive strength, the combination of Via and Simone is still very strong. If they don’t treat each other as a dish, they will suffer a big loss. Moreover, both Milan strikers are not good at heading, so Stam, another central defender of the team, has no need to start. Therefore, Sta and Lala have become the starting combination of this game.
Although Florence just played a fierce Champions League match with Manchester United a few days ago, Capello is not worried about the morale of the players in this game. After all, for many Florence players, no matter how tired or tired they are when they own Sacchi team, they have to beat each other to the ground and then lie down and rest.
It can be said that Florence must never give up when facing two teams in Italy, one is Juventus and the other is Sacchi’s team. No matter where he is the head coach or whatever, vieri and Inzaghi will never lack the motivation to humiliate Sacchi.
For Florence, this is a game that needs no mobilization at all.
