"Ronnie, I have to wake you up here. Your idea is wrong. Injuries are enemies for every player, especially for famous strikers with your speed and explosive power. If you don’t pay more attention to them when you are young, minor injuries will easily accumulate into major injuries, and finally you will never be able to gallop on the pitch again."
Zhuang Ge said here that he couldn’t help but think of his past life. Ronaldo suffered many serious injuries in succession after the 9-year World Cup. This is naturally due to the backward training facilities and medical standards of Inter Milan. But now think about Ronaldo’s repeated failure to be in good condition after his debut. Playing with injuries in every game is also one of the reasons for the serious injuries of aliens in those years.
When I first started out, I was young and didn’t pay attention to the injuries. If there were many minor injuries, it would naturally accumulate into major injuries. Finally, after all the hidden dangers broke out together, a talented new star would naturally be wiped out by injuries, such as Owen, Hargreaves, Dessler and several football seniors …
That is to say, Ronaldo is luckier than all of them. After nearly three years of injury, he can stubbornly prove himself, otherwise he will die prematurely and there will definitely be alien names on the star list.
Zhuang Ge’s words and examples made Ronaldo finally realize the seriousness of the problem, and he would not play again until the boss explained and encouraged the Brazilian to promise that he would obey the doctor’s orders and get the discharge permit.
……
After the Brazilian’s injury was announced to the public, the news that Ronaldo needed a three-month truce due to injury quickly spread all over Italy through word of mouth of fans and media reporters.
Several teams who were chasing after Florence sighed with relief that the Brazilian striker, who was like an alien, finally fell down, otherwise they would have to make a lot of effort to chase Florence-without the alien Florence’s offensive deterrent, it would have to be reduced by a grade.
"No, even if Ronaldo can’t play because of injury, we and Roberto Baggio will definitely not let us down!" In the face of Ronaldo’s sudden injury, many optimistic Florence fans comforted themselves
But there is a famous law in this world called Murphy’s Law, which mainly means that if things go bad, it will always happen no matter how unlikely it is.
And the impact of Ronaldo’s injury on Florence seems to be developing in the direction of getting worse according to Murphy’s law.
On November 1st, just as the Florence team was preparing to leave for Madrid, another unfortunate news came out at the Florence training base. Robert Baggio accidentally strained his left leg muscle and some ligaments in the training ground. According to the diagnosis of Dr. Nelson, Baggio needs to stay in bed for at least one month before he can play again, which means that there will be three real strikers in Florence in the next month.
Ronaldo was injured for four months, Baggio was out of action for a month, and two strikers were injured, which made coach Ranieri blindsided. He never thought that Florence would break two strikers in just two days, so that he had three strikers, batistuta, Inzaghi and vieri.
And the next month, Florence’s schedule was horrible. Now let’s take a look at Florence’s schedule in November.
On the afternoon of November 2nd, Florence challenged La Liga champion Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.
On the evening of November 5, Florence played at home against Lazio Biancocelesti, which had just beaten Juventus 4-0 in one round and remained unbeaten in the season league.
On November 12th, Florence will welcome the first leg of the second round of the Italian Cup. The opponent is the newly promoted Serie A horse led by Zaccheroni in Houdusse.
On November 15th, the fifth round of the European Champions Cup Group C, Florence will fly to the Romanian capital to deal with Bucharest Star.
On November 19th, Fiorentina took charge of Juventus in the 10th round of Serie A against Silver Fox Lippi.
On November 26th, when we return to home in the 11th round of the league, Florence will meet the last opponent of the whole "Devil’s Race"-Mo Da’s boss, Inter Milan.
In a month, Florence will play a total of six games, interspersed with the match day set by FIFA for the national team. This game is dense enough to drag down many benches. The depth of the football team is not very deep, not to mention the serious depletion of the forward line in Florence …
Three strikers have to rotate two positions in several fierce battles in November. Ranieri has a headache in the starting lineup of Florence this month. If he really plays like this, I am afraid that he will not wait until Baggio returns to Florence in December.
Chapter 21 The Bernabeu before World War II
Ranieri is worried here, as three strikers cope with the devil’s schedule in November, and there is also a head coach in Madrid, 12 kilometers away from Florence, who is worried about the game in the next day.
For Real Madrid coach valdano, one of his goals in coaching Real Madrid this season is to continue to lead the team to win the heavyweight championship-breaking Barcelona’s four-year blockade last season and winning back the La Liga championship, so that the Argentine celebrity can sit firmly in the coach’s seat. This season, many players have been introduced, and he naturally hopes to lead Real Madrid to a higher level to complete the two consecutive La Liga championships or lead the team to win back the Champions League championship that has been lost for nearly 30 years.
However, from the competitive state of Real Madrid players in the first season, it was very wrong. First, before the season, the Spanish Super Cup was humiliated by La Coruna’s total score of 5-1 (away from home to 3-2) and lost the first title that the season could win.
Real Madrid suffered a severe blow at the beginning of the season when the Spanish Super Cup was defeated by a big score. After all, in the transfer period, Real Madrid cleaned a lot of veterans in coach valdano. While restoring the vitality of the team and lowering the average age, it naturally brought shortcomings such as inexperience and large fluctuations in the player’s state. The Super Cup fiasco obviously hit the self-confidence of these young guys.
At the same time, after michael laudrup left the team, valdano pulled out the young midfielder Guti from Team B and invested a lot of money to buy enough players such as Petcovici and Rincon. From the perspective of player flow, Real Madrid exercises should make up for laudrup’s absence, but the actual loss caused by the departure of Danish superstars can be compared with that caused by Figo’s departure from Barcelona!
Due to these unfavorable factors, Real Madrid, the defending champion of La Liga, only achieved one win, two draws and three losses after six rounds of the league match, among which there was a "feat" of losing to oviedo and Athletic Bilbao at home.
Real Madrid’s performance in the Champions League can also be generally very bad, which leads to Real Madrid’s 1-0 win over Bucharest in the first round. Although it scored a little less goals, it successfully won the Champions League.
However, the performance of Real Madrid was not so good. In the second round of the group stage, the white knights were severely knocked to the ground by a group of strong men from Scotland, and they were completely defeated by Real Madrid at home.
Naturally, the result of the game was a draw with Florence. Real Madrid fans said that it was still acceptable. After all, La Liga teams have always been in a weak position in the face of Italian teams with similar styles in recent years. A year ago, Milan sent Barcelona a 4-0 victory in the Champions League final.
And such a bad result obviously shook the position of head coach valdano. Fans are forgetful. They don’t care whether he is the hero who overthrew Barcelona’s rule last season. Their logic is generally simple. After the team introduced many new players, it was the head coach’s fault that they didn’t achieve corresponding results.
Therefore, valdano was asked to appear among Real Madrid fans, and gradually there was a big market. At this time, Real Madrid executives also put pressure on valdano. The new president Sans did not want to see such a bad situation in his first year.
Under great pressure, the Argentine coach didn’t even go home. Every day, he squatted by the training ground and practiced hard, trying to make the team better.
Valdano’s efforts have achieved some results. Before the second round of the group match in Florence, Real Madrid’s state finally recovered and achieved four wins, three draws and three losses. In the last four rounds of the league, three wins and one draw remained unbeaten, which made Real Madrid fans seem to see the team’s hope of catching up and winning a championship trophy in the latter game, and thus let their head coach go a little.
The fans stopped, but valdano didn’t dare to relax. You know, less than a month ago, these fans were still wandering around the training base of the club and shouting their lessons every day. For the first time, they felt that the head coach of the giants was not good. After the tenth round of the league match with Albacete, the Argentines hid in the office for several nights in a row to watch the video of the Florence game and try to find out their opponents’ weaknesses.
After all, after the third round of the European Champions Cup group stage, Real Madrid only scored one win, one draw and one loss, with four points, ranking third in the group and two points behind Rangers. If they can’t take this game against Florence, their best result will be to face the situation that they are still one point behind the second place after the fourth round (Rangers lost to Bucharest); At worst, there will be a five-point gap (Florence and Rangers both win)
For Real Madrid, who still need to grab points in the league, they can’t wave too much energy in the European game, so they must win this game with Florence!
For Ranieri, it is also necessary to win the fourth round match with Real Madrid. After all, once you lose or just get a draw, Florence will be quite passive in the later game. The tinker doesn’t think that a poor and weak Romanian team can stop the miracle of the Scots. This kind of thing will happen in this world, but it will also care for those who are prepared and have no faith. Romanians will obviously not be favored by the goddess of luck.
If you lose this game, Florence will fall to the third place in the group (Real Madrid have the same points and are at a disadvantage to each other), which means that Florence must do its best in the last two rounds of group matches. But now the front line is understaffed. Florence doesn’t want to see Ranieri and Zhuang Ge hope that the team can lock up a group qualifying place before this game so as to reserve their strength for the upcoming devil’s schedule. After all, if you qualify before the Champions League, you can strategically release water in the Champions League and the Italian Cup. Florence’s staffing can still cope with these fierce battles
Florence can’t afford to lose this game!
In the case that both sides can’t afford to lose, the Bernabeu match between Florence and Real Madrid on November 2 will be extremely exciting!
Chapter 211 Early Madrid
Madrid was originally a part of the Arab world, and the name "Magritte" was not expropriated as a Christian territory by the heroic Afonso Vi until 13 AD. However, for a long time, Madrid was not the center of the Spanish kingdom, not far from Madrid, but the truly intact city of Toledo is the center of power, culture, religion and military.
At the beginning of the 17th century, Madrid officially became the capital of Spain and also the capital of Community of Madrid. Madrid is located in the central Sun Square in the hinterland of Spain, and there is a point sign, which symbolizes the importance of this city.
Madrid has never been an industry and industrial center. Perhaps it is because of this that football was conceived and produced late, but it is almost impossible not to be born in this city full of rich historical and cultural heritage. Manchester locomotives scream, and different Andalusian miners scream. Madrid football has grown away from the hotbed of poverty since its birth. A wealthy Catalan businessman and a group of employees and students who don’t worry about money have appeared in this city. Today, Real Madrid appears in this city. Chamartin district, which is the most expensive, was soon surrounded by a group of fat cigar smokers until the royal title was given. Since then, the city has had the first card. With the tenacious rise of Atletico Madrid, Vallecano is unwilling to be lonely, and a group of surrounding satellite city teams finally have a football share in the cultural precipitation of Madrid for more than ten centuries.
The first thing that Madrid football fans think of together is Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, two deadly rivals in the same city, while Vallecano, a satellite city in Madrid, has become a forgotten team for various reasons. Compared with others, Real Madrid is more like a gorgeous and elegant aristocrat with a higher reputation, and the six European Champions Cup trophies have eclipsed several European giants.
Now many fans know that in the early 1990s, Dutchman cruyff led Barcelona to win four consecutive La Liga titles, but who knows that before cruyff, Real Madrid also achieved five consecutive league titles?
