Chapter 28 Welcome Ceremony
In the thirteenth round of Serie A, Fiorentina faced Naples at home. Before the game, under the management of Pakinwa, a welcome ceremony was held for Beckham.
Beckham has long been familiar with such ceremonies. Before the game, surrounded by a group of children, Beckham in suits and leather shoes walked slowly into the stadium.
There was a tsunami of cheers and warm applause immediately in the stands of the Flackey Stadium, and Beckham also waved to the surrounding stands.
In the player channel, Cavinaghi, who was partnering with Degan as a striker, smiled and said, "Rod! You should really be jealous of David. He just came and seems to be more popular than you."
Digan shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Whatever you want! I won't be jealous just because of this kind of thing!"
Although not jealous, the mood of being a supporting role is really not very good. On the court, Parkinwa welcomed Beckham on behalf of Florence.
Immediately afterwards, Beckham took the microphone and said with a smile: "It is my honor to join the Viola. Last season, Fiorentina was the most powerful team in Europe. This season, I hope that I can be with this great team." , go on to win the championship!"
Immediately afterwards, there was another burst of cheers in the stands, everyone carried the sedan chairs, Beckham expressed his respect for Florence, and the vanity of the Viola fans was immediately greatly satisfied.
For the joining of Beckham, Fiorentina fans have always been very welcome. The world-class superstars in the team, before Beckham came, there was only Digan, and now there is one more Beckham, Fiorentina The prestige value will definitely increase a lot.
Immediately afterwards, Beckham showed the fans his No. 32 jersey in Fiorentina. Now the team's No. 7 jersey belongs to Criscito, and No. 23 jersey belongs to Pasquale. The other party meant to give way, so he chose No. 32.
Degan looked at the smiling Beckham on the court, turned to Donadale and said, "Marco! Do well!"
Everyone in the team knew that Donadale was about to leave, and Prandelli was willing to give Donadale more chances to play during his final time in Fiorentina.
Donadell's face was gloomy, and he forced a smile: "Captain! I will!"
The welcome ceremony was very short. After all, the game was coming up next. Even if Florence was willing, Naples was unwilling to play a villain who came to make fun of it all the time.
Players from the two teams entered the arena. Beckham did not immediately go to the stands, but stood on the sidelines and high-fived every teammate who entered the arena. The one who walked in the front was Digan.
"Rod! I am looking forward to a victory!"
Digan smiled: "Don't worry! You will see!"
When it was Donadale's turn, Beckham also had an unnatural expression: "Come on!"
Donadell forced a smile: "Thank you!"
At the beginning of the game, it seemed that it was to prove that Fiorentina had the status of being a world superstar with Beckham. As soon as Fiorentina came up, they attacked Naples fiercely.
Finally, when the game progressed to the 29th minute, Degan got the ball in the frontcourt. Surrounded by three defenders, he still found a chance. At 20 meters in front of the goal, he shot with his right foot and passed the Naples goalkeeper's ten fingers. The goal was bounced from the inside of the left post, and Fiorentina took the lead 1:0.
Beckham in the stands was also very excited when he saw the goal scored, and he high-fived with the Fiorentina staff around him.
Degan, who scored the goal, found Donadale who assisted him, and the two hugged together.
"Good job, Marco!"
Donadale didn't speak, but Degan knew the meaning in his eyes. He wanted to prove to everyone that he was no worse than Beckham.
In the first half, Fiorentina took a one-goal lead and walked into the locker room. In the locker room, Prandelli also praised the players for their excellent performance in the first half.
The game entered the second half, and the scoring ** also appeared. In the 52nd minute, Degan dribbled the ball all the way along the left, and then crossed the middle. Pacini outflanked and was pulled down by the Naples defender. The referee decisively A penalty kick is awarded.
At this moment, Fiorentina's chief penalty shooter, Montolivo, was on the court, but after Montolivo set the ball up, he called Donadell to his side.
"Ricciardo! You should be the one to take the penalty!" Donadell looked puzzled.
Montolivo smiled: "No! Marco! You take the penalty!"
Digan also came over and said, "That's right! Marco! You take the penalty!"
Donadale didn't continue to be stubborn when he heard the words. He walked to the penalty spot, looked at the Naples goalkeeper, and tried to calm himself down.
"Is Donadale taking the penalty? Maybe his teammates wanted him to show himself to the fullest in his last days playing for Fiorentina. Now it has been revealed that with the arrival of Beckham, Donadale Will probably leave Frakki Stadium! Although I am very sad, please tell Marco! He is a very good boy!"
Donadelle took two steps back. Following the whistle of the referee, he ran up, swung his legs, and shot. The whole movement was completed in one go. The goalkeeper of Naples was completely deceived, because Donadelle kicked the goal. With a "spoon" shot, the football went into the net smoothly, 2:0.
In the 64th minute, Donadale also reciprocated. He intercepted the ball in the midfield, Fiorentina quickly counterattacked, Digan scored the ball at the top of the penalty area, and Montolivo, who followed up in time, scored from the far corner with a push from the left, 3 :0.
In the 78th minute, Fiorentina's corner kick was pushed out. Hamsik, who came off the bench, 20 meters in front of the goal, volleyed with his left foot against the turf and rushed into the lower left corner, 4:0.
Just one minute later, Montolivo counterattacked through the pass, Digan broke through the two defenders, made a low pass from the left, and Pacini shoveled into the far corner 6 meters in front of the goal, 5:0.
Beckham was also mesmerized watching from the stands, and he couldn't help but feel shocked by Fiorentina's powerful attacking power, especially the cooperation of Fiorentina's midfielder and frontcourt, leaving Naples with no choice but to deal with it passively.
While watching, Beckham was also thinking about what he should do if he joined this tactical system.
Fiorentina's tactics are completely different from those of Manchester United and Real Madrid. It not only emphasizes small-scale cooperation, but also transfers large-scale long passes from time to time to pull the opponent's defense.
Beckham kept thinking about how to deal with him when he was on the court, how to pass the ball, and how to move to be more threatening.
Beckham is a smart player. He knows his strengths and his shortcomings. When on the court, he will always maximize his strengths and then deliberately avoid his shortcomings.
Before coming to Fiorentina, Beckham thought that Fiorentina's triple crown last season was due to luck, but after watching this game, Beckham realized that he was taking it for granted. has reached the point where it is the king of Europe.
Especially Degan on the front line, he is omnipotent on the court, passing, running, shooting, Degan is threatening Naples' goal every second.
All the players Beckham had come into contact with before, including Cantona, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo, and Raul, did not possess this terrifying ability.
Perhaps this is the reason why Degan became the world's number one player!
Digan has too many weapons!
Naples did not score a face-saving goal until the 83rd minute. Dalabona shot from the right side of the penalty area. Kompany blocked the ball with his hand on the goal line and was sent off with a red card. Then Dalabona took the initiative A penalty was used to tie the score to 1:5. Although a goal was scored, Naples had no way to recover from the fate of failure.
After conceding the goal, Fiorentina will fight back aggressively. Degan cannot accept an imperfect game, especially this game is played for Beckham.
But the Naples players who had already lost their red eyes didn't want Degan to continue to be presumptuous. When Degan rushed to the front of the Naples penalty area with the ball again, a Naples defensive player rushed over from the side and shot Deegan is a flying shovel.
Digan jumped up subconsciously, but even so, he was kicked down by his ankle and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing Degan fall to the ground, Prandelli's heart immediately hung up. He didn't care about Beckham's welcome ceremony, and almost rushed directly into the field.
The referee also immediately stopped the game and let Fiorentina's team doctor enter the field. By the way, the Naples player who shoveled and injured Degan was sent off with a red card. There were only ten people left on the field from both sides.
As a result of the team doctor's examination, Degan's ankle was injured, but the situation was not serious, but this game definitely couldn't last.
After the game, Beckham naturally became the focus of people's attention. He also cooperated with reporters in the mixed zone to accept an interview: "I am very happy to see the team achieve a wonderful victory. I can't wait to see it now." Representing this team in the game, the game was perfect, but it is a pity that Digan was injured in the end, which is a bit regrettable. I hope this injury will not be too serious and will not affect the next game! About me, I only want to Thinking about training hard, we will have to wait until January to say when we will be able to play."
Immediately afterwards, Fiorentina's official website also announced that Degan had injured his ankle and would be absent for ten days. He would definitely not be able to play in the next round of Fiorentina's match against Rome.
