PS4: Italy is always the kind of team that will bring surprises when you don’t have hope…
Mourinho actually expected Arteta to apply for leaving the team. After all, the situation of the Spanish midfielder in Fiorentina is really not very good. Although he performed very well in the quarterfinals of the Champions League with Liverpool, judging from the overall performance this season, Arteta obviously did not meet the fans' expectations for him and did not have enough strength to support the team when Pirlo was resting. This directly led to Purple Lily falling into a dilemma of insufficient manpower while fighting on the third line, and was eventually eliminated from the Italian Cup and the Champions League.
Moreover, the tight defense and rigorous tactical style of Italian football are not the favorites of these Spanish players who are interested in attacking, but rather they are something they hate. Therefore, for Arteta, playing football in Fiorentina is just a job, and he himself does not like to play football in such a game atmosphere.
What's more, Arteta has become accustomed to the treatment of being the core of the team in the two years he played in Glensgow Rangers, but when he came to Fiorentina, he had to start from the bench. Such a huge gap also made Espanyol very uncomfortable. Therefore, Arteta will decide to apply for a transfer to Mourinho at this time, which is not surprising.
I am used to being a core player in a small and medium club or a second-level team. After joining the top giants, I finally chose to leave because I could not adapt to the changes in the team's status. Arteta will not be the first, nor will it be the last one.
Although he could understand Arteta's choice, Mourinho was still quite reluctant to leave. After all, although Arteta's performance in Fiorentina this season has been criticized and criticized by many people, to be honest, Espanyol has made great progress in this year of Fiorentina. At least, after the training in Fiorentina this year, Arteta's grasp of the rhythm of the game and the timing of the pass is much better than before, and his defensive attitude and enthusiasm are far better than when he joined the Purple Lily.
Therefore, in Mourinho's original vision, he really planned to entrust Arteta, who has adapted to the Serie A style, next season, and let him share the pressure on Pirlo's game. However, now that Arteta has shown his attitude to leave the team, Mourinho, whose abacus has failed, must reconsider it.
Although his overall performance in Fiorentina this season is quite average, and he even made low-level mistakes in many games, Arteta is still not short of suitors with his outstanding performance against Liverpool in the Champions League and his eye-catching performance in the Glasgow Rangers in the previous two seasons. For example, Vicenza, who lacked the core of the organization after Robert Baggio retired, fell in love with him, hoping that Espanyol could take over the mantle left by Baggio.
However, Arteta finally declined the invitation from the other party for his show of goodwill. After all, part of the reason Arteta chose to leave was that he did not like Italy's defensive style, and he hoped to return to the familiar environment - similar to the Soviet Super League style, but with a higher level and a larger stage, it is obviously a good choice.
Just as Arteta began to find his next home, and the whole Fiorentina team was preparing for the final match of the league with Brescia amidst laughter, the Champions League final was also held as scheduled in Istanbul on May 25!
Compared to AC Milan, who was in a uniform position under Ancelotti's coaching, the state was adjusted to the best. Lazio, who was slaughtered by Fiorentina four goals last weekend, obviously has not recovered from this defeat. Except for a few people such as Drogba and Ronaldo, most players' condition is generally at a low point.
Although Mancini rotated the starting lineup in the Champions League final in order to minimize the negative effects of the loss in the weekend league on the team, and put Robben and other new forces on the starting list, Lazio's combat effectiveness in this game was inevitably affected by the weekend league defeat to Fiorentina.
So, the AC Milan player, who was full of energy and high morale, gave Lazio a warning as soon as the game started. Just 52 seconds after the game started, Kaka was knocked to the ground by Maxville while dribbling the ball. Baronho's free kick accurately found Maldini who was ambushing the penalty area. The latter swung his right foot 12 meters in front of the goal and made a half-volley shot. The ball bounced into Lazio's goal behind the ground! One to zero!
The Lazio player seemed to be stunned by this sudden loss of the ball. In the whole first half, the Blue Eagles players were in a daze on the court, and were pressed by AC Milan to move in the halftime. The goal guarded by Cech frequently sounded the alarm, struggling to withstand the impact from the opponent.
Under the command of Ancelotti, the Ross and Blacks fully demonstrated their style of taking advantage of the situation and launched fierce attacks to defeat Lazio step by step. In the 39th and 44th minutes of the game, Shevchenko and Rebrov each scored a goal, expanding the lead to three to zero!
"I'll just go, this is not a replica of the Miracle Night of Istanbul, right?" Zhuang Mingge, who was watching the game live broadcast in front of the TV, felt a little sad after seeing the score, and he thought that this would not indicate that Lazio would win three consecutive games like Liverpool in his previous life, like a god-supported Liverpool in the second half, and finally completed the most incredible magical reversal in the Champions League finals, right?
If this is true, then after winning the Champions League championship, Lazio will definitely become another strong opponent in Fiorentina in the future. After all, with such a heavyweight champion in hand, Lazio will no longer be regarded as a nouveau riche, and its attractiveness to top stars will increase greatly.
But then, Zhuang Mingge thought about it and felt that with Mancini's ability, he did not seem to have the ability to give the players blood and soul-stirring chicken soup, and there was no spiritual leader like Gerald in Lazio who could stand up and sound the horn of counterattack in such a critical moment. Therefore, if Lazio wants to complete the reversal like Liverpool, it is probably an impossible task to complete the reversal.
