That’s why Florence players didn’t kill Juventus after sealing the victory, creating a bigger tragedy in the Bianconeri’s body. It’s a bit of a shame for the other side. Although the score of four is really sad, it’s better than being beaten by them to five or even six, isn’t it?
After eating a defeat, we lost our temper from Florence and returned to Juventus players. Now let’s continue to follow Florence’s footsteps and turn our attention to the Champions League.
Three days later, Florence ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League Group B at Frankie Stadium, and this time their opponent just ended the winning streak of the Viola season with a stroke of Ibrahimovic’s magic, Ajax!
Buffon Roberto Lusiosta, Sun Jihai Derossi Gattuso Pirlo Ribery Inzaghi and vieri are the eleven starters in Florence.
In the face of this opponent who ended their winning streak in the group stage, the draw will never be forgotten. Naturally, Florence players will not show mercy. Players are gearing up to give Ajax a good lesson in this game and let the other side know that a draw is just because they are in poor condition.
Sure enough, after the game, the Fiorentina players took the initiative in their hands under the command of Pirlo, and at the same time kept attacking like Labant guarding the goal. vieri and Inzaghi, two good friends, were very active and full of energy. They turned Ajax’s defense line into a pot of porridge. Lugano and Haitingjiagen couldn’t stop them from jointly attacking the back position. Galasek and pienaar retreated in Derossi and Pirlo to help Haitingjia defend vieri.
After all, Pirlo and Derossi’s longrange shots are also very accurate. If they doubleteam vieri and Inzaghi and give Pirlo a chance to shoot from the front of the restricted area, it is no different from giving the other side a penalty for nothing.
Although there was a fierce battle with Juventus on behalf of the team three days ago, due to the general low performance of Juventus players in that game and Florence’s early victory and today’s game, Pirlo did not have any physical problems, thus ensuring Florence’s initiative in midfield.
As for this dilemma, Ajax players and ronaldo koeman on the sidelines can’t think of any good solution to cope with the tidal attack from Florence.
A head coach, ronaldo koeman, may have two skills and tactics, but this young marshal has a very serious shortcoming, that is, he is extremely headstrong in his life and will never listen to different opinions after making up his mind, so he has to go all the way to black.
Don’t hit the south wall, don’t look back, hit the south wall and don’t look back, that is to say, a coach like Coleman
Coleman’s personality and ironfisted way of leading the army enable him to effectively deter these young players who are still struggling in the future. He has built a tactical framework to play football, which makes Ajax a headache for many European giants at one time in the season. However, after these players become famous, they will naturally have strong dissatisfaction with Coleman’s way of leading the team, and they will not want to play in this rigid framework any more, and they will not always be bossed around by the head coach.
It is such a change that this famous European youth team is no longer as monolithic as the season, nor is it so obedient to Coleman’s arrangement and requirements, so that Ajax’s season performance has not risen sharply as expected, even replicating the miracle of the’ 95 golden generation, but showing signs of retrogression and decline
Generally speaking, without Coleman’s iron fist and tough character, this Ajax youth team could not have made such a big name in the season and killed Florence in the Champions League. But it is precisely because of his character that this youth army has just taken shape and will face the fate of disintegration.
For Ajax club, this sentence should well summarize the situation of this Dutch giant in the past two years
Chapter 122 Ajax on the verge of disintegration ()
Although Coleman’s tough character is one of the main factors leading to Ajax’s slippery performance in the season, it is not the only reason that leads to the poor performance of this Dutch giant on all fronts, and the constant conflicts among players also play a great role in it.
The most typical example is Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic, the golden combination of Ajax season. With the growth of age and strength, they have a tacit understanding. They both hope that they can beat each other to become the leader of this Ajax youth army and let another person become their younger brother. However, Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart seem to have forgotten the important point, that is, they are both arrogant and unwilling to be the master, and they have not experienced any major blows in their careers. How can they put themselves on the other side’s deputy?
In Zhuang Ge’s previous life, Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart both suffered a real blow after leaving Ajax, only then did they realize the importance. The former was put away by Capello and proudly became green leaves to pull the ball for these bigname teammates around him. Although the latter spent a few years in Hamburg as a boss addiction, after joining Real Madrid, he also had to pick up his tail and become more famous and have a higher status. Van Nistelrooy and Raul are their thugs
Now, in order to achieve this goal, we have not experienced these setbacks. Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart openly played a game of fame and gain. They not only competed with each other on the spot, but also cooperated with a few lone players in the game, which made the dressing room smoky. Because of these actions, the team’s performance slipped in the Champions League, only four points were accumulated, and there was a faint trend that Eindhoven was lagging behind in the league.
For Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, this extremely disharmonious way of competition, Ajax coach Koeman has not taken any measures to solve it, nor has he used this as a reason to punish the main points who have committed crimes, or he is not good at getting along with the players. It is difficult for Koeman to have enough prestige among the players. Now no matter what he says or does, the players may not listen to him.
The discord between Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart has caused great harm to Ajax, and the increasing consumption of the team department has made this youth army rooted in the stadium, which is why it was inextricably linked with Florence in the quarterfinals of the Champions League in the first three rounds of the Champions League group stage. Ajax youth army only achieved one win, one draw and one loss in the season, and only four points tied for the real society. Second, we must know that the real society is not Ajax’s opponent even if the former is the runnerup in La Liga.
This shows that it is a terrible thing for a team, no matter how strong the team is, once it comes to this kind of thing, it will have a good record and slip into such a miserable situation. Of course, some clubs may even face the fate of disintegration.
In the face of such a Ajax team, Florence has been carefully prepared for a long time. If they still can’t win this game, it can be said that Pirlo and his team are really useless. Zhuang Ge had better invite someone else quickly.
One thing that happened in the 32nd minute of the game can best be said that Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart finally got a good attack opportunity at that time. Van der Vaart missed the defense on the left side, and after Sun Jihai, he hit the middle of the road to follow up. However, Ibrahimovic kicked the ball ten meters in front of the door, which made Van der Vaart dissatisfied.
So in the process of returning to the halfcourt defense, Van der Vaart waved at Ibrahimovic this time, expressing his dissatisfaction and demanding that he cherish the opportunities created by his teammates. Ibrahimovic was also very dissatisfied with Van der Vaart’s accusation, saying that it was too hard for you to ask me to score the ball once in Florence.
Ha ha, these guys are really youthful. They remind me of Stefan (effenberg) in those days. Looking at each other complaining at the stadium, Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart sat in the box and watched Zhuang Ge smile and said to Karin, who was sitting there, Stefan was so unruly at that time. If he didn’t just catch him in the World Cup, he made a middle finger incident and I took the opportunity to completely accept him out of a career trough. Otherwise, even I’m afraid I can’t let him stay in Florence.
I think Stefan is much smaller and less backbone than these two players. He won’t disturb the atmosphere in the dressing room, and he won’t drag down the team’s performance regardless of the overall situation. Karin is quite dismissive of Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart. In her opinion, it’s really problematic for these two players to be a mere boss. Fortunately, they are not our Florence players or it will be our turn to have a headache.
Haha, that’s why we don’t have anything to do with their transfer. Let Juventus and other teams compete for it. Regarding Karin’s evaluation of Zhuang Ge, he laughed and agreed. By then, they will find that these two guys are not only outstanding in skills and talents, but also firstclass in making trouble.
Just as Zhuang Ge and Karin were talking about Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, the Fiorentina players finally scored the first goal of the gameVan der Vaart missed the ball, Pirlo made a long counterattack and received the ball. vieri took the ball into Ajax’s restricted area and shot his left foot angrily to break Florence’s first record!
In the end, the 20 score at home in Florence easily solved the contradiction. Ajax vieri and Inzaghi scored one goal each in the game, and finally they were drawn by their opponents!
Although losing is a depressing thing, it is obvious that Ajax has no time to pay attention to these things now. For this Dutch giant, it is urgent to solve all kinds of contradictions in the locker room as soon as possible, and only when all these problems are solved can the team return to the winning track. Otherwise, waiting for Ajax Club will definitely not be a good game.
Chapter 123 Another Youth Army
After beating Ajax at home, Florence has achieved four games, three wins and one draw in the group stage of the Champions League this season. It is one step away from locking in the qualification of the top 16 and qualifying for the group stage. The situation is excellent!
Florence fans are naturally very satisfied to see the team’s qualification in sight. Although Florence unexpectedly ate a draw in Amsterdam, which dashed Viola’s hopes of winning the Champions League semifinals, Florence’s current promotion in Group B is still enough to satisfy their supporters.
Ajax is not in such a good mood compared with the first four rounds of group matches, with one win, one draw and two losses in the penalty area. Because their main competitor Royal Society defeated Dynamo Kiev in another venue, they are temporarily ranked third in the group. They must strive to win in the next two games to keep their hope of advancing to the top 16.
If Ajax’s poor performance in the last two Champions League group matches leads them to go home after the group match, it will be a fatal blow to the Dutch giants!
You know, if Ajax fails to make it to the knockout stage of the Champions League, the economic loss alone is an astronomical figure that makes Ajax executives feel distressed, not to mention the fact that this result may have a negative impact on Ajax club’s prospects. After all, although Ajax is still the biggest club in the Netherlands today, clubs like Eindhoven and Jenod are slightly inferior to Ajax, and now their development momentum is very fierce. If they are not careful, they may be overtaken by each other and fall into the wind in the increasingly brutal competition.
Therefore, in the face of such a critical situation and the possibility of losing a lot of financial income, I was not very concerned about Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic. Ajax executives finally got up the spirit and started to rectify the dressing room environment, trying to twist these players into a rope and get another place in the top 16 of the Champions League!
After all, in any case, Ajax’s book strength is still quite strong. If they can settle these contradictions as soon as possible and devote themselves to the game, there is still the possibility of overtaking Real Society in the group standings.
In the league, Ajax is not so worried. Although the disagreement between Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart has caused the team’s strength to plummet, Ajax’s position in the Dutch League is still quite stable with the firstclass overall strength of the overseas team. Even if Eindhoven and Jenod try their best to catch up, they will hardly pose a threat to them this season.
However, although the top management of Ajax club has a good idea, when they started to deal with these contradictions, they found that the difficulty was far beyond their previous predictions. Neither Van der Vaart nor Ibrahimovic was willing to take the initiative to bow to the other side at this time and admit that they were wrong, which made the two men still fighting each other in the game, and Ajax’s promotion path was still hopeless. Therefore, other players were disappointed with the club and secretly contacted their agents to seek the possibility of transfer.
In the face of this difficult situation, Ajax management decided to take the simplest and direct solution, that is, to sell Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart and keep the other team core, so as to completely solve the current problem of the team locker room, but in this way, Ajax’s overall strength will be seriously weakened and it will no longer strive for any heavyweight honor in the European Games.
Of course, even if Ajax finally did this, I’m afraid that sending Ibrahimovic or Van der Vaart away in the summer of 2008 will only last for a while, and the result will never change.
After talking about Ajax, let’s turn our attention back to Florence. After the game against Ajax, Viola ushered in the ninth round of Serie A next weekend. This time, their opponent has been from a strongman to his younger brother Parma.
Due to the loss of Parmalat, the biggest player and the biggest gold platform, Piero Della Francesca Parma didn’t move much in the summer transfer market. It was Parma’s greatest achievement to be able to keep the main striker Adriano surrounded by a hungry wolf and introduce Bora and Moyo at a low price, which could not get a chance in the big clubs.
I have to say that Florence’s schedule this season is really a hole. From the fifth round of the league against Inter Milan to the next round of the game to challenge Parma Viola at Tardini Stadium, the opponents have the strength to make trouble for them for five consecutive games. Considering that this period is also interspersed with Champions League and national team events, Florence may lose a lot of points and lose the top position in the standings and the initiative in the league battlefield.
In fact, Florence might have suffered several defeats in these five rounds of leagues if the two major rivals, Inter Milan and Juventus, had not experienced serious slippage or suffered from injuries.
Although they complained about the hard schedule arranged by the Football Association, Florence didn’t express these complaints because they knew very well that the Italian Football Association arranged the schedule so as to create obstacles to Florence’s defending road to the maximum extent. Viola always announced the championship in the first few rounds, which made the title of the league championship lose its suspense early.
