After losing the match against Piacenza, Florence ushered in the third away game of the week in the following week. In the first round of the Italian Cup, their opponent was Palermo, a Serie B team from Sicily.
First in Istanbul, Turkey, then in Piacenza, northern Italy, and now in Florence, Sicily, the southernmost part of Italy, this threestop race really looks a bit confusing.
Although the Florence players will arrange the schedule in their hearts and greet their ancestors for ten generations, they can’t change the schedule, so they have to continue to travel away from home.
On October 27, Florence arrived in Sicily to challenge Palermo, a local strongman, to prepare for the game.
Although the atmosphere at Barbera Stadium, the home of Palermo Club, is equally fanatical and famous, the whole Italian football lives in Apennine Peninsula, which is well known to fans. However, compared with Galatasaray fans, Palermo fans are more disciplined and less able to go outside the Florence players’ couch hotel in the middle of the night to disturb their rest.
Therefore, although the Barbera Stadium showed its devil’s home style on the day of the game, the Florence players were fully rested and were not affected too much. In their view, Palermo fans are much gentler than Galatasaray.
Affected by this emotion, Florence performed much better than a game. In this game, Ukraine’s nuclear warhead Shevchenko continued to take the core of the organization. Pirlo scored a wonderful direct goal. Kaladze scored a longrange shot in injury time.
In the end, the Fiorentina players gave vent to their grievances accumulated in Istanbul and Piacenza with a 40 victory.
Chapter 3 Fight Galatasaray again ()
After Palermo was eliminated from the Italian Cup, the Fiorentina players didn’t get much breathing space. When they need to go back to the camp before the weekend, they can continue to represent Viola in the battlefield.
Florence, which sat in Frankie Stadium on October 30th, was cheered by more than 40,000 home fans, beating the visiting Turin team 31. The Red Bull, which was briefly revived in the early 1990s, has been in the doldrums since it was relocated in lentini, enzo scifo and other teams. Now it is no longer a lift club that frequently shuttles between Serie A and Serie B when it won the runnerup in the UEFA Cup.
Florence ushered in the second leg of the Champions League group match against Galatasaray in the following week after cutting Turin to the horse without blowing off dust.
By the way, before going to Italy, Galatasaray Club specially sent a letter to Florence. Naturally, it was hoped that Florence would restrain their fans and cause unnecessary losses to both sides before the game. For example, Florence was also banned at home.
Although Galatasaray’s words and sentences in his letter were quite polite, Zhuang Ge was very dissatisfied with the Turks’ posturing and thought about taking this opportunity to retaliate against each other. After all, according to Galatasaray, don’t these Turks think that the quality of Florence fans is no different from that of football hooligans there?
But in the end, Zhuang Ge still held his nose and agreed to Galatasaray’s request. After all, Galatasaray was severely punished. If Florence really committed a crime at the first time, even a bigname ally, the football emperor, could not protect him. What’s more, UEFA headquarters is not far from Florence. If anything happens, UEFA will definitely get the news at the first time. Moreover, Viola’s popularity and status in European football are now. If they really do something that is not in line with the demeanor of giants before the game, Florence’s name will be completely ruined.
Out of consideration, Zhuang Ge had to make a gesture in this way to tell the supporters of the team not to fall into a passive position in public opinion because of these tricks of the Turks who can play Xiaocong. Moreover, Zhuang Ge wants to let the Turks know that Florence can still defeat Galatasaray without these dirty tricks!
However, although he verbally agreed to Galatasaray’s request for courtesy, how could narrowminded Zhuang Ge easily miss a good opportunity to retaliate against the other side? So after answering Galatasaray, Zhuang Ge immediately sent someone to take photos of this letter and sent the photos to professional sports media such as Gazzetta dello Sport.
In this way, when Italians read Galatasaray’s provocative letter in the newspaper the next day, the whole Apennine Peninsula was boiling! All Italians talk about whether they were Florence fans before. At this time, they turned their guns to help Florence!
When our players were besieged by your shameful fans, why didn’t you come out of Galatasaray Club to say a fair word? You’re still fanning the evil wind, and now you come to our site to play games, and you dare to pretend that you want us to show off the socalled rich demeanor, which is so cheap! This is the first sentence that pops into all Italians’ minds when they see this letter.
However, although I am full of contempt and shame for this move by Galatasaray Club in my heart, I have to say that the overall quality of Florence fans is still very small. When Triem took Galatasaray players out of the airport, Florence did not have rotten tomatoes to entertain them.
At the same time, Florence did not deliberately put obstacles in Galatasaray, which came from afar, in terms of venue adaptation training and accommodation. Even when it was late and the sun was setting, someone would ask them if they needed to light up for a night battle.
Generally speaking, many Galatasaray players felt a little embarrassed after the first day of their arrival in Florence. After all, they knew a little about the treatment they received when Florence visited Istanbul, especially after this fresh contrast, even if they were thickskinned, they would feel a little embarrassed.
However, this doesn’t mean that Zhuang Ge wants to be a saint who complains about good deeds. He is quite narrowminded. He is not that noble. After someone slaps himself, people will continue to slap him. He didn’t choose to make things difficult for Galatasaray, mainly because it is the easiest thing to get caught in these aspects, and the name of Florence will be a big blow.
It’s actually very important for a big club. The best example is that Barcelona, the socalled Cosmos team, was eliminated from the Champions League by Inter Milan. After that, Barcelona brazenly hit the stadium sprinkler, which poured a chill over the celebrated Nerazzurri and made Barcelona the object of ridicule by the world.
Otherwise, Zhuang Ge will definitely arrange people to bring Galatasaray to Italy this time, and everyone will pack them in sacks and beat them up, and then throw them all into the Adriatic Sea to give a bad breath.
Although we can’t make mischief, it doesn’t prevent Zhuang Ge from launching an offensive against Galatasaray in other battlefields. In the past half month, he and Groz have jointly turned the Turkish stock market upside down, which led to a sharp drop of nearly 3% in Galatasaray’s share price in just two weeks, forcing the Turkish giant to turn to the Galatasaray Sports Club for help to overcome the financial difficulties caused by the sharp drop in its share price. At the same time, the Turkish giant also borrowed money from banks to pay the high salaries of stars such as Haji.
The club’s financial crisis naturally affected the mood of the players. After all, the main reason why people like Haji and popescu went to the Turkish League at this age was to earn a generous pension. Therefore, when the team was in trouble, they must be the first players who wanted to escape from Istanbul.
In this way, the Galatasaray players were disturbed in another way, and they stepped on Frankie Stadium with heavy thoughts to challenge their strongest opponent in Group B, the super giant Florence.
Chapter 31 Fight Galatasaray again (in)
Compared with the first meeting, Galatasaray’s starting list has not changed, and it is still the original team in the first leg. This phenomenon is naturally inseparable from their head coach Triem
There is no doubt about Triem’s coaching ability to win the title of Emperor in Galatasaray, the first giant in the Turkish state, but this title also reflects the autocratic character of this coach on the other hand. In the eyes of this coach, no matter how famous a player is, he must obey his arrangement if he wants to play in his hands, otherwise waiting for this player will be exhausted repression and bench treatment.
History Triem’s iron fist style has been successful in Galatasaray and Florence, but everything has its two sides. When he coached AC Milan, the Turks’ opinionated and headstrong attitude made it difficult for him to coach in the Rossoneri, because the veterans such as Paolo Maldini and costacurta didn’t buy him. After all, they all succeeded in driving away a Triem root in Sacchi, which is more famous.
So the Galatasaray emperor finally stayed in Milan for less than a season, and then he was dismayed by the record problems and poor meritorious players.
If a head coach wants to gain a foothold in the top giants, he must consider whether his personality can properly manage the locker room, so that most players can agree with his decision without saying that it will make people believe, rather than disobeying or simply turning a deaf ear!
However, although Triem’s personality is not suitable for coaching AC Milan, which is a very powerful player and can even determine the fate of the head coach to some extent, Galatasaray, a top club, is inferior, and there are few special players who can threaten the position of the head coach, but it is suitable for him to lead the team, because in such a team, no player will question his decision to let Triem show his talents instead of being repeatedly constrained by players.
Now Galatasaray is in line with this condition. Although Haji and popescu are famous and have this ability, they are old and want to earn more pensions. They have no plans to compete with this powerful head coach. Hakan Suk, though a strange Turkish football player, is strong enough and has the ambition to become the boss of the team, but his position in Galatasaray is challenged by foreign players such as Haji and Taffarel. Therefore, before Suk settles Haji and Taffarel, the top Turkish center will not have unpleasant things with Triem.
Therefore, with all kinds of factors together, Triem has to control Galatasaray’s locker room so as to thoroughly implement his tactical ideas in this team without much hindrance!
Maybe someone will ask, since Haji and others can tolerate Triem dictatorship after receiving their pensions, why can’t they get along with Hakan Suk and create a career in Galatasaray?
