Six to zero, Fiorentina won a great victory to bring the 1996-97 season to a perfect end.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Sampdoria's players immediately fled into the player's passage and were swept by their opponents at home. They felt that they had no face to face the fans who were persevering and cheering for themselves.
After celebrating on the sidelines, the Fiorentine players returned to the locker room under the guidance of the team staff. They had to make some preliminary preparations for the next award ceremony.
After the match between Fiorentina and Sampdoria, a podium was quickly built in the center of the Ferraris Stadium to prepare for the upcoming award ceremony.
Soon, led by captain Batistuta, the Fiorentine player returned to the court wearing a commemorative shirt specially customized by the club for the league's championship.
The front of the shirt is printed with the words "29-5-0", which means Fiorentina won the Serie A championship this season with an unbeaten record of 29 wins, 5 draws and 0 losses; and the back of the shirt is printed with a big golden Arabic numeral "3", which is to celebrate Fiorentina's achievements in the three consecutive Serie A championships!
Zhuang Mingge sat in the VIP box and watched the players wave to the fans on the court. Although he had a good relationship with many players and Capello, he had no intention of going down to steal the limelight at this time.
After all, this league championship is the reward for the Fiorentine players working hard for a season. What is the matter with him as the club chairman?
Not long after, the award ceremony officially began with the anticipated gaze of Fiorentine fans!
When the team captain Batistuta and head coach Capello held up the league championship trophy received from Football Association President Pero, nearly 10,000 Fiorentine fans at the Ferraris Stadium immediately burst into loud cheers, celebrating the fifth Serie A championship in the history of Florence Club! It is also the first three consecutive league championships of Purple Lily!
"Let us congratulate Fiorentina! They became the second team in Serie A history to win the league championship with an unbeaten record in the season! Moreover, this league trophy also allowed them to complete the first three consecutive league championships in club history! The only three clubs that have accomplished this great achievement before were AC Milan (91-92, 92-93, 93-94), Turin (46-47, 47-48, 48-49) and Juventus (Five consecutive championships in Serie A from the 30-31 season to the end of the 34-35 season).
"The teams that have completed three consecutive championships before, without exception, have successfully created a great dynasty in the era they lived in... Now, Fiorentina has become the fourth member of the club with three consecutive championships! We have reason to believe that Fiorentina will also create its own dynasty era!"
The commentator's words reached the ears of every Florence fan who was watching the award ceremony on site, thus making the atmosphere in the stadium reach its peak moment!
At this point, the 1996-97 Serie A season ended, and Fiorentina won the Serie A championship this season without any suspense with 29 wins, five draws and zero losses! After all thirty-four rounds of games, Fiorentina's points reached an astonishing 92 points, leading Parma, who ranked second, by 29 points!
Such a huge points gap made all those who pay attention to A start to think, is the so-called "Serie A Seven Sisters" really worthy of their name?
No matter how you look at it, the Serie A is now a one-man show for Fiorentina! The remaining seventeen teams are tasked with competing for the runner-up, allocating European quotas, and arranging which teams will be relegated to the second division at the end of the season.
Parma, coached by young coach Ancelotti, won the league runner-up, with 18 wins, nine draws, seven losses and 63 points, which can be regarded as a very good result for Fatty An, who coaches the Serie A team for the first time. Unfortunately, under the dual halo of Fiorentina's 92 points and unbeaten championship, Parma, who won the league runner-up with 63 points, seemed extremely embarrassing.
Although he tied the opponent in a controversial way in his second encounter with Parma (Canavaro's goal was blown away by the referee), the multi-line battle still made the Zebras suffer in the fiercely competitive Serie A. Due to excessive distraction from the Champions League, Juventus could only rank third in the league with 17 wins, 13 draws, five losses and 61 points.
Silver Fox Lippi coached the Zebras for three seasons and won the league runner-up once and the league third place twice. If such a result is placed on teams such as Parma or Roma, it can definitely be regarded as a very outstanding report card.
However, Lippi coaches Juventus, one of the greatest clubs in Italian football history, has not won the league championship in three years, and Juventus's management has reached its limit.
Inter Milan, who changed coaches in the middle of the season, ranked fourth in the league with 59 points. Baggio, who transferred to the Nerazzurri, performed well this season. Although the injury problem began to trouble the melancholy prince again after leaving Fiorentina, Baggio still took on the front line of Inter Milan in this situation. The double-double data of eleven goals and ten assists is one of the reasons why the Nerazzurri can still rank in the top four leagues when the Nerazzurri changes coaches in the middle.
The fifth place is Lazio, who has been in a chaotic state this season. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Thanks to Zeman who left a good foundation for the Blue Eagles before leaving and retained the team's spirit. Otherwise, with their interim coach's tricks, Lazio may even be a problem with relegation.
Due to the butterfly effect triggered by Zhuang Mingge, "Little Zhuge" Guidolin led Vicenza, which is more powerful than in history, to perform surprising performances, and they eventually ranked sixth in the standings. Moreover, Vicenza's small club won the Italian Cup this season, which really made many experts lose their glasses.
Also affected by the butterfly effect is Saki's AC Milan. Due to the rise of Fiorentina, the Ross and Blacks lost one more game than in history. Ten wins, 10 draws, 14 losses and only 40 points made the Ross and Blacks only three points higher than the relegation line and ranked 13th.
Such a bad result made Berlusconi, who had always been arrogant, no longer able to tolerate his old friend. After Milan lost to Cagliari 1-0 in the last league game, Saki received a notice from the club when attending the post-match press conference.
"Alanggo, I'm sorry, we decided to terminate the work contract between you and Milan right now. I will call the corresponding liquidated damages to your bank account as soon as possible. Good luck." Galliani, who received the order from the boss, was very efficient in his work. He was also tired of the chattering Saki, almost announced that he had fired Saki at the same time as he received the above order.
Chapter completed!
