Chapter 175
As the team returned to the fourth position in the standings, the Champions League group stage also qualified two rounds ahead of schedule, and the number one in the group is far away.
Prandelli and the club executives can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
And Prandelli finally let go in this situation, expressing his willingness to renew his contract with the club and will continue to stay in Florence.
At the same time, with the approach of the national team's match day, the team's devilish schedule is almost over.
Even Fiorentina's international team, who has the task of playing for the national team, will only participate in some restorative friendly matches as Italy takes the lead in qualifying for the World Cup.
As for the other international players, either their national team has lost the chance to qualify, or they have already qualified.
So the atmosphere in the team has been very relaxed.
In the end, the play-offs of the European Cup qualifiers for the World Cup went through a short and fierce competition.
In the end, the traditional giants France won the right to qualify with a controversial goal scored by Henry in stoppage time.
The other three teams that got the final place are Portugal, where Ronaldo is located, eliminated Russia's dark horse Slovenia, and the Greek team that continues to look forward to creating another myth.
But it may be destined that this season will be a season of many disasters for Florence.
Even after what was supposed to be a relaxed international break, Fiorentina have had an unlucky wave of injuries...
Gamberini suffered a muscle strain during the national team game and missed the next game. Montorivo was absent because of the yellow card suspension accumulated in the last round of the league, while Jovetic continued to hang up the exemption card.
Fortunately, after missing the last round of the league, Zanetti returned from injury in time during the national team match day.
This can be regarded as one of the few good news Prandelli received before facing Parma.
This also led to the unsatisfactory performance of Fiorentina in the thirteenth round of the Serie A match on November 11.
Fortunately, although Fiorentina's striker still performed well in this game, Gilardino took the lead in breaking the opponent's goal. Later, Mu Jianfeng helped Gilardino score twice with a pass and a shot. The two scored three goals together. Goal!
However, Fiorentina's weak defense still dragged them down. In the first half, Amoruso and Bojinov each scored a goal.
And Fiorentina's back line suffered another injury, and was injured again not long after the start of the second half, leaving Prandelli almost unavailable.
In the end, Parma, who played away, seized the opportunity. At the end of the game, Lanzafame, who replaced striker Bojinov in the second half, scored the equalizer goal.
The three points in hand turned into one point, which made the Fiorentina players a little frustrated.
After watching the game and considering the team's personnel situation, Corvino is finally determined to help the team introduce potential defensive players!
The media began to gradually have rumors that Fiorentina has taken a fancy to the Brazilian player Felipe who has been frustrated in Udinese this season!
……
Mu Jianfeng is not too concerned about the team's transfer rumors, because he is preparing with the team for the upcoming Champions League group match with Lyon.
Once this game can win the opponent, then Fiorentina is about to lock in the first place in the group stage one round ahead of schedule.
This allowed them to face Liverpool in the last round without any pressure.
And perhaps taking into account the advance qualifying and the team's injuries, Prandelli made minor adjustments to the lineup in this Champions League game.
In the starting lineup, he sent veteran Jorgensen and Santana to partner on the wing, while Montorivo, Zanetti and Marchionne sat in the middle.
Only Mu Jianfeng was sent in front.
As for the defenders, Krodrup and De Silvestri both got the chance to start.
Although Jovetic returned from injury, he only sat on the bench with the teenager Babacar.
Although the Lyon team learned the lesson of the first round, they strictly defended against Mu Jianfeng and successfully blocked Mu Jianfeng's scoring ability.
But this also caused them to waste a lot of defensive power, and finally Marchionne seized the opportunity to sneak attack and scored the first goal.
Later, although the Lyon team struggled to launch a counterattack, Fiorentina had no choice but to retreat.
In the second half, Prandelli replaced Mu Jianfeng with Jovetic and carried out the defensive counterattack to the end.
This made Lyon no longer dare to continue to attack boldly after being counterattacked several times.
In the end, Fiorentina won the game [-]-[-] at home.
On the other side, Liverpool defeated Debrecen.
In this way, the gift of seven points with Lyon also retains the last possibility of advancement-they will beat Fiorentina in the last home game, and at the same time pray that Debrecen can get points on Lyon!
Otherwise, according to the relationship between the goal difference between the two sides and the mutual record, Liverpool will still be eliminated and fall into the Europa League.
On the other hand, Fiorentina, who won the game, went into battle lightly. After just a few days of adjustments, they were sad about Milan. They were a guest at Meazza and challenged Inter Milan, the overlord of Serie A in recent years!
……
This match against Inter Milan is almost a match to verify the quality of Fiorentina.
Because after several seasons of adjustments, the head coach has also changed from Mancini to Mourinho, but their dominance over Serie A cannot be shaken.
Moreover, in Inter Milan's lineup at this time, there is another talented boy who is often compared with Mu Jianfeng by the media-Balotelli.
Although under Mourinho, this unruly young genius is often used as a negative material, but both the club owner Moratti and the fans have a good preference for him.
There is even a voice saying that the reason why Balotelli scored fewer goals than Mu is mainly because Mourinho refused to give him a more stable playing relationship.
Give Balotelli a stable chance to play, then his statistics may not be much worse-there is even a big market for this kind of remarks.
The reason why Florence was on the verge of collapse that year also made their fans feel a lot of hostility towards Inter Milan, the only one that benefited from that turmoil-in fact, for Florence, their "mortal enemies" are almost all over Italy.
At this time, Mu Jianfeng was sitting on the team bus, quietly watching the bustling square outside the car window, and the Meazza (San Siro) stadium not far away.
Many fans in the square painted blue and black flags on their faces, and when they saw their buses, they made mocking, provocative, or curious glances.
In the distance, there is the stadium standing quietly.
In his limited knowledge of football, it seems that only this stadium is shared by two giants.
And it is obviously a stadium, but it has been given two names due to some historical reasons.
Although it is not the first time for Mu Jianfeng to visit this stadium, he still feels as if he has been in another world.
Because the last time I came here, it was a guest at San Siro, away to challenge the red and black half of the star-studded Milan city.
At that time, he was still a fledgling boy who didn't know much about everything. He was eager to get a stable chance to play in the first team and get a bigger stage to show himself.
When I came here again a year later, it was to visit Meazza and challenge the blue and black of the other half of Milan.
At this time, he was already the team's reliable main force, and what awaited them was a group of old boys who were almost at the peak of their careers and were about to decline!
"Wow!"
Almost as soon as the bus stopped outside the player tunnel and the door was opened, a huge noise came into the car.
Mu Jianfeng was faintly startled by the sudden commotion, and then he laughed at himself, picked up his backpack and prepared to get off the car with his teammates.
At this time, it seemed that Mu Jianfeng was aroused by the din from the fans, and Mu Jianfeng only felt that his originally lazy spirit was slowly waking up.
It seems to be expressing a sense of expectation.
Looking forward to this duel with these old boys.
Sorry, forgot to set auto-update yesterday..
