Chapter 12 Be patient
"Let's try it out! "
At the signing ceremony of Degan and others, Degan and Prandelli unanimously chose to support the team's transfer policy this season. Of course, others will never know that these transactions themselves were discussed and decided by the two of them. of.
It's just that Fiorentina, after a big change, wants to make a breakthrough in the new season, but people are still skeptical. After all, this team is too young, and most of the players have not played in the top league. Experience, can such a team really be like what Degan and Prandelli said?
Reporters are waiting to see the joke!
Competitors are of course waiting to see the joke too!
Fiorentina didn't keep these people waiting for too long, and soon gave them a good opportunity to show their spouts. In the team's first warm-up match before the start of the new season, they lost a game against the second-tier team Ternana. 3:5!
Thiago Silva, who was placed into the starting lineup by Prandelli, only played half of the game and was replaced. In the 45 minutes he played, he did not have an effective defense, no steals, or even After a few tackles, Ternana's two high center forwards took turns attacking, which made him look very embarrassed.
There are also two full-backs Abate and Antonini, one frequently assists, leading to a space behind him, and the other is always pressed in the backcourt, making the team's left attack impossible. The first goal conceded by Florence was the left Antoni Ni conceded the ball, Ternana transferred the ball to the right side of Fiorentina, which was empty defensively, but the opponent's winger made a pass, Thiago Silva was not tight, and was headed by the opponent's high center forward next city.
The most disappointing thing is not them, but Kavinaji, who was the team's main center in this game, played for 45 minutes, had no shots, no assists, and at the end of the first half, he had once faced the A good opportunity to score against the goalkeeper, but because of hesitation, the opponent's defender kicked first,
Kicked the ball out of the box and missed a chance to score.
Probably because of the bad experience in Russia, his sharpness has been smoothed out, and his original superb shooting skills have completely disappeared. What is even more worrying is that his self-confidence in front of the goal has completely disappeared.
The performance of the new aid on the back line and the front line was extremely poor. They conceded four goals in the first half, but it was not completely without surprises. Hamsik made people shine. In the 60 minutes he played, he played He scored a goal and assisted a goal, but probably because he is not yet familiar with his new position, he seemed a little edgy when he took the ball, and there were also quite a few problems with the handling of some balls.
The one who performed well was Ledesma. He directly broke the opponent's goal with a free kick during the game, and his organization and interception ability in the midfield were very strong. It can be said that if it weren't for him, today It is absolutely impossible for Fiorentina to concede just five goals.
However, after the game, Prandelli did not criticize the performance of these new aids, but instead praised them for their few or even negligible advantages.
"I am very satisfied with their performance. This is the first game of the new Fiorentina experience. I saw a lot of gratification in the game. Losing a game does not prove anything. We should be more patient with them. Sooner or later They'll surprise everyone!"
But the media was not so polite. They were ridiculed by Digan and Prandelli at the signing ceremony of Digan and others, and they were waiting for revenge at this time.
"Coach Prandelli's self-confidence does not seem to be squandered yet, but this day is not far away, facing the mediocre Ternana, even Fiorentina, who came off the bench, should easily win this game , but the result was shocking. They actually lost, and the loss was extremely ugly. The central defender Thiago Silva, who coach Prandelli placed high hopes on, performed like an amateur player today. The rhythm of the game is not enough, and the technical movements are very clumsy. If this is the world's top central defender in the future, unless the sport of football disappears in the world, and Kavinaji, who was introduced by the team with a lot of money, he almost Disappeared on the field, all we can recall is his frowning and clumsiness like a polar bear when dribbling the ball! After watching this game, we have reason to believe that the task of Fiorentina this season is not like theirs As said, a breakthrough in performance, but relegation!"
"5:3! Prandelli and his new players teamed up to give the fans a game that was enough to make Fiorentina a laughingstock. Coach Prandelli and the geniuses described by Degan before, in this game. The performance can only be described in two crappy words, the future world-class central defender, talented midfielder, and left and right wings that will make AC Milan regret it, now it seems like a joke!"
The reporters sang the opposite tune with great enthusiasm, and it was as lively as the New Year. The Fiorentina fans also felt a sense of disillusionment. They had heard Degan so confidently that they were really full of expectations for these new players, but after seeing After this match, they discovered that the Super Saiyans they thought were a bunch of Mr. Satan, what a deal!
"I think the team's transfer operation this summer has been a complete failure. We didn't know where those guys came from before, but this game has become the main force of the team, and last season has set up for the team. Players who have made great contributions have been sold cheap, and the only feeling I have now is that we are all cheated!"
"This game is terrible, I can't see any hope at all, I really don't know what Pakinwa thinks, last season he can bring us Luca Toni, Pan Carlo, Brocchi, Looking at it now, I don't even want to mention their names!"
"Pakinwa is a super stupid x, if he is allowed to go on like this, Fiorentina will only be able to go to the second division next season!"
The innocent Pakinwa has nothing to say about his suffering now, and he can't wash it away even after jumping into the Yellow River, but he has no way to explain the real situation to the outside world, so he can only hide at home with the little grass man with Digan's name on it, and a Vigorous madness.
"Let you hurt people, die you bastard!"
In fact, Degan didn't expect this match to be such a virtue. Could it be that his appearance as a little butterfly changed the potential value of these calves, and the original future masters suddenly collectively turned into hanging silk?
Degan seems to be in bad luck. Unwilling to be lonely, Ancelotti is far away in Qatar to collect money, and he can't help jumping out to sing bad news: "Degan said that giving up Abate and Antonini will make AC Milan regret it. Yes, we have already done so. I regret it, because the talents of the two of them are really limited, but Mr. Braida made Florence pay too much transfer fee, I think this is a bit immoral!"
This old fat dog is so hot, he's still sarcastic!
Of course Digan couldn't take it anymore!
At this time, you can't admit defeat, and you can't make those who don't like him proud.
"This is just one game, and the team has been concentrated for only one week. The current Fiorentina is a completely re-established team. If the conclusion can be drawn by relying on one game, there will be no Rodrik now. G. Iseson Santos Wright. As for those who are happy now, I think they are happy too early. One game can't explain any problems. The new season has not yet started. By then I believe that the brand new Fiorentina It will surprise everyone!"
Degan spoke, although the media reporters didn't take it seriously at all, what should they do, what are they doing, but fortunately, the fans' emotions were appeased. After all, Degan's strength is there. As long as Degan After his comeback, if he can recover his form, then with Degan alone, the team's performance will not be bad.
But Digan was full of confidence in his mouth, but he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart. He didn't want to try the feeling of being slapped in the face. No, after the warm-up match, Digan went to Florence. See if the calf has really turned into a grass.
Speaking of this period, Prandelli was the one with the most pressure. After all, although Degan had decided on the transfer list, he also had a role, and he was also one of the decision makers on paper.
It would be fine if Florence could really sing "All Things Are Born", but if he got out of tune and turned into the divine comedy "Uneasy", he would also have to follow along.
But it was too late even if he regretted it now, Prandelli had already gotten into Digan's car, and he wanted to go down unless he resigned and left.
Seeing Degan coming, Prandelli also relieved his nervousness a little bit. At this moment, what he needs most is someone who can negotiate.
"Rod! The situation doesn't seem to be optimistic!"
Degan didn't speak but just observed his teammates on the training ground. The last game had a big impact on them. It could be seen that their self-confidence was fading, especially those who were named and criticized by the newspaper. After all, they were all young people. , the ability to withstand pressure is really average.
"I think what they need now is not training, but how to adjust their mental problems. They are under too much pressure. Coach, this is my fault. Maybe I am too impatient. Even if they are very good, but~ ~~~~~"
Backfire!
Digan didn't finish because it might be difficult for Prandelli to understand the profoundness of Chinese culture.
"What do you think we should do now?" Prandelli never thought of asking for help from his players before, but the current atmosphere in the team made him a little bit at a loss.
"Competition! More competitions, let them adjust their psychological problems and find out their own shortcomings. No one can help them! They can only rely on themselves!"
Digan's method is not a good idea, and there is even a bit of anger in it, but Digan really wants to see, among these people, who has a glass heart, and if he can bear even this little pressure If you can't afford it, how can you be successful in the future.
A successful person must first have a strong heart!
Prandelli was a little worried, but right now he could only follow Digan all the way to the dark.
1:2!
1:3!
0!1!
Immediately after a wave of losing streak, Fiorentina's opponents were all teams in the second division, but Fiorentina did not win a game. They scored two goals, one of which was a penalty kick, and the other was Albertini's free kick, but lost. With six goals, Fiorentina now feels as if they have lost their souls.
The defense couldn't defend, the front couldn't attack, and the midfielder played well. Unfortunately, with their hard work, they couldn't win the game. Thiago Silva, Antonini, Abate, Ka Vinaghi was a big disappointment, and he couldn't see the superior strength described by Degan at all.
Even with Degan's reassurance, the fans can't sit still. The fans want to see winning first, and then other things. But now this team can't even satisfy people with this most basic thing.
"I've had enough! I've had enough, I've had enough of their crappy performances, especially the Brazilian kid, did he come to Florence just to show us what is a mistake collection?"
"I really suspect now that Delava came here to destroy Florence, because he was banned from participating in football activities for three years, so he is going to destroy Florence as revenge!"
"This is the worst Fiorentina I've ever seen. These people don't know how to play football at all. The purpose of their existence is to let us know what anger is. Now I suddenly find that guy Gauchi is much cuter. At least he The team can still win one or two games, instead of being humiliated like it is now!"
The people outside were all arguing, and the atmosphere in the Fiorentina team became more and more dignified, but Prandelli's mood gradually improved.
When others watch the game, they are only looking at the result, who scores more goals, and who is the final winner, but Prandelli is a professional football coach, and he is also a football coach with outstanding ability, what he wants to see Things are going to be deeper.
Although the team lost consecutively, he also saw some positive things behind the losses. At least those bloody players who were scolded by others finally burst out with shining points.
This is what he most hopes to see!
Finding the shining points of young players, and then cultivating them to make them succeed step by step, this is what Prandelli likes to do most, just like when he was in Parma, Adriano, Mutu, Gilardino, and Bonera were all semi-finished products when they first came to him, but they all succeeded in the end.
"I don't want to comment now, I just want to say to everyone, what Digan said before, be patient! You will see a completely different Florence!"
