Chapter 37 The Discordant Voice
After successfully playing Moji, the time has entered the end of March. The performance of Fiorentina, which is mostly young and veteran, has begun to fluctuate slightly. They actually got two draws in three games in late March, one of which was at home. In that game, if it weren't for Batistuta's last-minute free kick to savior, Fiorentina might have suffered another defeat this season.
However, the result of this game also ended Fiorentina's winning streak this season, Ranieri felt very regretful for this, and Zhuang Mingge's face was even worse.
Fortunately, although Fiorentina's record has been affected a little, its outstanding performance some time ago still guarantees their current top position in the league.
As the league enters the second half, injuries and fatigue inevitably occur in the Fiorentina team, especially the old and small team of Fiorentina. The team is either young or veteran now, which also makes the team's physical coaches busy.
After several conversations with two experts from the physiotherapy center, Zhuang Mingge decided to suggest to head coach Ranieri that some rotations should be carried out appropriately, especially for midfielders to rotate to a certain extent.
Ranieli was a little hesitant about this, because in Fiorentina's tactical system, the midfield combination of Djokaf, Effenberg, Kripa and Dibiagio is the core of the entire team. These four people have the ability to surpass substitutes. No matter which one is replaced, it will cause a sharp decline in the overall strength of the team. They are the basis for ensuring the team's smooth progress. The reason why the combination of Batistuta and Inzaghi on the front line is often rotated by Ranieli is based on his confidence in the midfield foursome.
Because Ranieri believes that although this Fiorentina is currently very strong, it is too young from the top to the players. If it relies too much on young players, Fiorentina's performance will definitely not be as stable as it is now.
Therefore, Ranieli was very troubled with Dr. Carter's advice. However, when Kripa was in poor physical condition after playing continuously, he was injured in one training session, Zhuang Mingge, as the chairman, finally decided to "talk" to head coach Ranieli.
No one knows what the Chairman and the head coach talked in the office, but judging from the tone revealed by "Big Sister" Karin, the conversation between the two was very unpleasant from the beginning. However, the parties were completely tight-lipped about this conversation, and when talking about it to outsiders, we only used it: we had an in-depth negotiation on the team's current large number of injuries and fatigue problems, and finally we reached a consensus.
The fool also knew that the so-called consensus was completely impossible. Players who were a little more skilled in accidents understood that Zhuang Mingge must have used another level of his identity: the club chairman to put pressure on head coach Ranieri.
However, these players will not gossip. After all, Mr. Chairman's behavior is obviously to benefit their players - after all, at this important stage, no one wants to be injured suddenly. If the injury is serious, he may lose his job for the next season.
Although from the moment, I may play a fewer games because of this, if I can ensure health, it is not unacceptable to play less games. Moreover, this will allow me to have more physical strength and will perform better in the game.
And those substitutes have also got more opportunities to play and can play a more important role in the team, so they will not express any opinions on this matter, but will be very happy in their hearts. Of course, they cannot be too obvious in front of the head coach.
It can be said that the only thing that felt wronged in the whole thing was head coach Ranieri. When Zhuang Mingge used his identity as chairman to order himself to obey the advice of professionals in the physiotherapy center and strictly control the main players' playing time, the head coach felt that his authority was offended.
Therefore, even at the beginning, Zhuang Mingge still patiently and endured his temper and persuaded Ranieli to let the main players rest appropriately and give the substitutes more opportunities, Ranieli still had a stinking face, saying that he should have the final say in leading the team's game, rather than Zhuang Mingge, a "outsider".
As a result, Zhuang Mingge, who was smiling and pressed on his cold butt, could no longer control his emotions, and pointed at Ranieri's nose and yelled: "Tell you! I don't want Massimo (Kripa) to continue to be staged in the team! At the same time, the kinematics experts invited by the club spent so much money were not just for a decoration! So, when these experts tell you that a player has a problem, then this person is absolutely not allowed to appear in the lineup. If you want to challenge the club's bottom line, then you can give it a try now!"
Zhuang Mingge's roar finally made Ranieri realize that the other party was his immediate boss. The behavior of angering his boss was obviously not what a smart person should do, so he finally chose to compromise: "I will do what you said. If those experts tell me who is not in a suitable state for the competition, then I will remove him from the competition list."
In terms of overuse of players, Ranieri had a "criminal record" in his later generations: when coaching Inter Milan and Juventus, the overuse of some main players caused both teams to be injured in the middle and late stages of the season.
Seeing the other party surrender, Zhuang Mingge also put away his aggressive attitude and changed to a slightly calmer tone: "I hope my behavior just now did not offend you! But I did this entirely for the team's good. After all, if there are too many injuries, the team will also be affected by the record. If these main players who have been given heavy responsibilities by you are injured and the substitutes cannot bear it, I believe you will also have a headache for this!"
"Offair? It has been offended long ago!" After complaining in his heart, Ranieri did not dare to show it, and reached out to hand it to Zhuang Mingge, "You are right, maybe doing this is a better choice!"
Holding the other party's hand that reached out, Zhuang Mingge understood the meaning of the action: "Then, I won't disturb Claudio's work! If you have anything to help, please contact me, and I believe I will do my best to meet your request."
Zhuang Mingge let out a secret breath in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't have a complete fall in love!"
After all, Ranieri has done a good job this season. If he rashly dismissed the other party, he may have suffered countless abuses and ridicule even as the chairman. However, Ranieri's surrender also made Zhuang Mingge look down on the other party a little in his heart. Ranieri's behavior of accidents lacks the domineering a real coach of a wealthy family.
"Ranieli is indeed not suitable for future Florence. Should I change one?" After leaving the training base, Zhuang Mingge sat in the car and thought about who to find as the club's future head coach. Unfortunately, after thinking about it, he didn't think of a suitable person - either he couldn't invite him or he was too small, he looked down on him.
"Let's talk about it later!" Sighing, Zhuang Mingge temporarily put the problem of the head coach aside. Anyway, there is still some time before Fiorentina returns to the A-level team. "I hope I can think of a suitable head coach during this period."
