Chapter 3

After four rounds of the game, Fiorentina won two and tied two, second only to Juventus, which had three wins and one draw and Lecce, which had two wins and two draws, ranked third. Such a record can definitely be described as outstanding.

Before the season began, club chairman de la Valle boasted Haikou, "Our goal is fourth in the league, and entering the European arena will make Fiorentine football more developed."

In fact, De La Valée is not saying it, he really has a high opinion of himself. The only Serie A team that does not have a TV broadcast contract is Florence. Because Y was originally planning to give them a broadcast fee of 15UU,000 euros, but Dara Valée disagreed and said that it must be 30UU. Even if no one can see Florence's home broadcast, it doesn't matter, and the team's cards cannot be lost.

In order to realize his ambitions, Daravalle bought famous stars such as Lupatli, Portillo, Nakada Hidesu, Maresca, Obodot, Chiellini, Jorgensen, Uyfaluci, Micoli in the summer transfer. These names are rich Serie A or international experience and fame, and can even be said to be a star team.

However, a star team is not a real team. A real team must have at least a complete and fixed main lineup, and at least one or two core players.

Daravalle is firmly confident that when he continues to use Mondonic as the head coach, he considers giving the team more stability, but almost all the players have changed. Whether Mondonico, who has no experience in coaching in Serie A, can be stable is a big question.

Mondonico wanted to establish the two cores Dilivio and Chen Yu, so he met the high requirements of Chen Yu and Dilivio to renew their contracts before the start of the season.

But Dilivio is already 38 years old, and Chen Yu is just the leader in Serie B. It is hard to say how much role it can play.

Therefore, before the game, the outside world holds two attitudes toward Florence's performance in the new season. One believes that the Bundesliga Kaiserslautern-style miracle can be staged again in Italy; the other believes that the newly formed Fiorentina will be difficult to play the Serie A three-time champion and Rome this season. They still need to do a lot, and they may be able to achieve the goals of this season de la Valée next season.

At the beginning of the season, four Copa Italy games, four league games, all the concerns of the outside world and Fiorentina appeared.

Mondonico's tactics are very chaotic and the use of people is also chaotic. None of the eight games is the same starting player, and his playing style is also changed back and forth between several formations of 4,433,443.

The midfielders also had conflicts over the core issues, and Hideho Nakada and Maresca fought.

The team's leader and captain Dilivio can only play a substitute, and he is only spirit left, which is not helpful to the team's record.

Such a situation will have a fatal impact on the team's performance whenever any team is involved, but Fiorentina is an exception, because Chen Yu, the new war god who brought Fiorentina to Serie A, shined, scored 5 goals in four Cups of Italy and U goals in four Serie A games, once again carrying Fiorentina to the third position.

Fiorentina's record makes De La Valle even more proud. He not only wants to restore Florence's former status and glory in Serie A, but also wants to make a difference in European stadiums, but also want to have his own voice in the Italian league.

In Italian football, the giant clubs led by the Holy League have an absolute advantage in the transfer market in terms of television broadcasts and referee distribution. The contract amount difference between small and medium-sized teams and AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan and other giants has been dozens or even hundreds of times. In recent seasons, small and medium-sized teams have threatened to stop the game.

Although Fiorentina was originally the seventh sister of Serie A, they are still a disadvantaged group in Italian football. Sky Sports gave them a broadcast fee of 15UU, which is less than half that of Rome, not to mention compared with Milan's two Milan champions Juventus. Therefore, whether for the sake of their own status in Italian football and for the interests of the club, de la Valle must fight against the powerful forces led by the Holy League.

Fiorentina's victory in the league and the Italian Cup gave De La Valle more confidence. In early October, when Fiorentina defeated Brescia to advance to the round of 16, Dara Valle invited leaders from Atlanta, Brescia, Bologna, Cagliari, Chievo, Lecce, Livorno, Palermo and Sampdoria at his industrial group headquarters in Milan to plan to establish an "anti-sacred alliance."

After some discussion, the small club headed by Dela Valé proposed a series of requirements such as postponement of the presidential election of the professional league, Galliani gave up his candidacy, fair competition in the game, reallocation of television broadcast fees, etc.

Since Galliani was elected as the chairman of the league in 2018, the owner of AC Milan has been the Prime Minister of the government, and he is the club's vice chairman and the chairman of the professional league. Juventus's manager Moji has controlled the transfer market. No one has ever raised a substantial challenge to the conflict of interest issues that arise. De La Valle's "out of nowhere" made Galliani so angry that he "death to death".

Galliani and Moji quickly met to discuss countermeasures, and then Galliani held a press conference to explain the previous issue of sharing the television rights. Galliani believed that the essence of the problem was economic, but he still insisted that big-name clubs should be divided into more. Galliani said: "Reason? Serie A big-name clubs should compete with top European clubs. From the media to the fans, everyone wants to share more benefits for small and medium-sized clubs, but our foreign opponents have more resources, so we cannot weaken the strength of our strongest clubs by ourselves."

Moji also spoke to support Galliani. The king of the transfer market believes that Delavalais will only disrupt the situation and cannot propose a solution to the problem. He sarcastically said: "Delavalais has a blank vote, but he cannot propose any plan. He told everyone that the problem is not who is the chairman, but a plan is needed, but his plan is too mysterious. He still does not know what his candidate is called."

The two forces in Serie A are seeing the situation getting hot, and major clubs are taking sides. Atlanta, Brescia, Bologna, Cagliari, Chievo, Lecce, Livorno, Palermo and Sampdoria support de la Valé, while Messina, Palma, Regina, Siena and Udinese, and Lazio support the Holy League.

As Inter Milan has been under the suppression of the Holy League, and has not won a league championship for so many years, and has often suffered losses in the transfer market. Inter Milan expressed its support for de la Valle and his allies. Chairman Facheti said, "I oppose Galliani's re-election, I support fair competition in the league, and the Italian league has reached a point where reforms are necessary."

Although Rome tends toward small and medium-sized camps, because Rome was also a profitable person in negotiations with Sky TV, the broadcast fee they received was second only to the top three. Therefore, Roman President Sensi is temporarily waiting and watching the "Anti-Sacred Alliance Alliance".

The competition outside the football field is in full swing, but no matter what Dela Valée wants to have in terms of television broadcasting and the power of the professional league, the final decision is the team's record. If Fiorentina's record is outstanding and the fans are full, whether it is Murdoch of Sky TV, or AC Milan's chairman Galliani and Juventus' Moji have to take Dela Valée's opinions to heart. If Fiorentina's record is bad, no matter how many small clubs Dela Valée contacts cannot compete with the Holy League.

The Serie A is now in full swing. In the past two weeks, it has been a one-week double-game match. In the middle of the week, the strong teams in the giants and strong teams play in the Champions League and the League Cup, and in the weak teams play in the Italian Cup, and only a few teams can stay idle.

Fiorentina just finished the Italian Cup against Brescia in the middle of the week. Because he easily defeated his opponent by 4:1 away and returned to home court, Fiorentina won again with a score of 1:0 and easily advanced to the top 16. Their opponent is Serie A powerhouse Parma.

The round of 16 knockout round will be held in one month. From this round of knockout round, the Milanese two-man, the Roman two-man and the old woman will also join the battlefield. It can be said that from this round, the Italian Cup will be a bit eye-catching.

In the fifth round of the league weekend, Fiorentina's opponent happened to be their opponent in the Italian Cup. This league is a front-line battle and warm-up battle for both sides.

Fiorentina was smooth sailing in the league, but ranked third with two wins and two draws in four games, while Parma lost and two draws, ranking 19th in points, only stronger than deputy squad leader Brescia.

In this game, Fiorentina's goal is to directly point to the first place, and at least ensure the top three positions, so you must not lose in this game to Parma, who is in poor form.

Parma has not won a win in four rounds of the league. For them, it is best to score three points. No matter what the process is, they have fallen into the relegation zone. If they don’t play seriously, Parma’s relegation will not be a big news. Fiorentina, who has the same strength as them, has been reduced to the League C. What does Parma have to be relegated?

The focus of this round of matches is undoubtedly Roma's home match against Inter Milan. As two giants, they not only have a huge influence in Italian football, but also in Europe, Inter Milan and Roma are also two well-known teams. Their match has attracted the attention of tens of millions of fans.
