Chapter 289 Psychological warfare
AC Milan was ready to fight, but Florence had not handled the head coach's problem yet.
Due to a conflict between Mondonico and Chairman De La Valle, Fiorentina broke up the contract with Mondonico before confirming the new coach. There could not be no coach in the army for a day. Buso was temporarily appointed as the head coach, and Buso knew very well that he was just to put out the fire. As soon as the new head coach arrived, he could only let the virtuous.
Many people think this new coach is Plandelli because when he transferred last summer, Plandelli almost came to Fiorentina, and Plandelli is also the kind of coach that Dela Valle likes the most.
However, due to Mondonico's sudden departure, Florence had no leader, which gave Plandelli a greater bargaining chip. Florence obviously did not want to accept the whole game as a firefighter coach. As the firefighter coach, Buso saved four consecutive games.
The management of Fiorentina did not expect Buso, a goalkeeper, to achieve a good record, and also made plans to sign Plandelli at no cost if the results were too bad and even a seat in the Champions League could not be guaranteed.
But what the Fiorentine management did not expect was that Fiorentine led by Buso actually won four consecutive victories, and the league championship also showed a glimmer of hope. At this time, the Fiorentine management of course did not want to substitutions. They hoped that Buso would continue to coach and see if he could create a miracle in the end.
Plandelli didn't expect Buso to win four games in a row. He originally hoped that Buso would play worse and put more pressure on the Fiorentine club so that he could be in a more favorable position in the negotiations. Now that Buso is playing so well, Plandelli can't sit still. He was worried that Buso would really lead the team to win the league or cup championship. Even if he could take over Fiorentine at that time, he would have to bear great pressure.
After Fiorentina defeated Bologna, Plandelli also showed his whisper: "My wife's illness is already very good. I don't know if I will become the head coach of Fiorentina, and this question should be asked De La Valé. Anyway, the plans and goals of the Fiorentina club are very attractive." Plandelli even half-jokingly said: "My Parma has great players, and if I have a team, I will definitely go there to buy them."
If Plandelli said this before four rounds or even two rounds ago, Delavalai would definitely be happy with the big boom, but now facing the olive branch sent by Plandelli, Delavalai can only feel entangled. He is not signing Plandelli now, for fear that Plandelli will be snatched away by other teams. Signing Plandelli now is unfair to interim coach Buso. The management is mainly worried that the team's condition and performance will be damaged.
However, the game is getting closer and closer, how to respond to Plandeli will definitely have a different impact on the morale of the team. At this time, Delavalle showed his flexible approach. On the one hand, Delavalle publicly responded to the olive branch thrown by Plandeli, "Fiorentina needs a coach who can bring victory and championship to the fans. Obviously, Plandeli and Buso are both such coaches, but the head coach is not the final decision of me. The head coach needs the fans' consent to pass. Mondonico's dismissal is because of a little conflict with the fans. I don't want the next head coach to encounter this situation."
On the other hand, Dela Valle personally found the current head coach Buso to ask about the current situation of the team and Buso’s thoughts on the last few games of the season, and then quietly suggested Buso that if he could finally achieve the results that satisfies the club, it would not be impossible to continue coaching.
Buso was very excited. The team won four consecutive victories. He worked hard and worked hard. He knew that he was a firefighter, but he was not willing to be a firefighter forever. Now he has finally received the personal promise from Chairman De La Valle. His fighting spirit and enthusiasm are even more sufficient, and he has no reason to worry about gains and losses before.
Facing AC Milan, in order to boost the morale of the team, Buso chose to attack with a high profile.
"This is the most important league game of our season. In this battle, we still have the vitality of winning the championship in the first line. If we lose, we can only devote all our energy to the Italian Cup. We have good memories in the Italian Cup, but we can't give up the league either. In this game against AC Milan, we must defeat our opponents and block their dream of defending the title. This is not a fight for Juventus, it is a fight for ourselves. We cannot turn the last few games into garbage time. This is unfair to our fans. We must strive to win all the last games and then look at God's arrangement."
Florence manager Lu Casey also strongly supports Buso, and he told fans that he would fight for the championship to the end.
"Buso's work during this period has been fruitful. He has made us almost forget Mondo. Now we still have the chance to win the championship in the league. This chance of winning is very small, but we cannot forget the Greek myth of last summer. Miracles were created under seemingly impossible circumstances. We must do our best to fight to the end."
Chen Yu, the core of the team, is now becoming more and more important in the team. Before this critical battle begins, he also stood up to challenge AC Milan.
"The best player in AC Milan's camp, Shevchenko, also played the best record in Serie A. The Champions League is very likely to reach the final and lead the second place in the league by two points. They and Juventus are the top scorers in Serie A. In the past fifteen years, except for Lazio and Roma who have won one championship, all other championships are controlled by them. I think this should change. We have to fight for the championship. Even if we lose in the last defeat, we will not regret it. 8 points seems to be a desperate gap, but judging from the schedule of the last five rounds, Juventus and AC Milan will encounter strong enemies. If we are lucky, maybe a miracle will come to us."
Fiorentina is going to fight for a miracle, which was ridiculed by AC Milan players. At the press conference when arriving in Fiorentina, Shevchenko disdained the challenge of Fiorentina. "All games at this stage are decisive, we cannot make mistakes. We have to face the Champions League and the league at the same time. The disadvantages are self-evident, but being able to win on different fronts also gives us motivation. Fiorentina is a strong enemy and it is difficult for them to deal with, but they have no possibility of winning the championship. Except for the Italian Cup, the championship can only be produced in us and Juventus. They made too many mistakes before, and now it is too late to make up for it. This is how the championship is. The team that makes the least mistakes can win the final trophy."
Former Fiorentina core Rui Costa returned to Frankie Stadium as an opponent for the first time. He praised Fiorentina's performance this season, and also believed that whether Fiorentina blocked AC Milan or not, the league championship had no hope. They would better focus on the Italian Cup with Udinese.
"In the eyes of many people, Fiorentina is full of regrets this season, but I think Fiorentina's performance this season is fantastic. As a newly promoted team, it is not easy to be able to enter the Champions League. A great team cannot be bought with money.
However, the league champions are still from AC Milan and Juventus. These two teams have rich experience in winning the championship. It is no accident that they have the current lead. Even if Fiorentina can block us, their fate is not in their own hands. Moreover, we still have an eight-point advantage. I think Fiorentina may make a difference in the Italian Cup. We have this tradition. For a newly promoted team, a Cup championship and a Champions League place, it has been a successful season."
Galliani has always appeared as an enemy of Fiorentina, but at this time, Galliani suddenly shook his olive branch to Chen Yu, "If Chen really wants to win the championship, come to AC Milan, and all your dreams will be realized here. Didn't Bati have the chance to win the championship when he went to Rome? But Bati did not have the chance to win the Champions League. When he came to AC Milan, the dreams of these players will become a reality. A great player can only reach the peak of honor in a great team. I hope Chen Yu will consider it carefully."
Not only Galliani, but also Milan's boss Berlusconi has an ambiguous attitude towards Chen Yu. When he resigned and was busy reorganizing the cabinet, he did not forget to pay attention to the battle between AC Milan and Fiorentina. The day before the game, a reporter asked Berlusconi if he wanted Chen Yu? Berlusconi nodded.
The nod immediately attracted the interest of many journalists, and a group of non-sports reporters' question was: "Is this a consent?"
Berlusconi found himself in the minefield and spread his hands: "I didn't say anything." A reporter asked again: "If Chen Yu wanted to transfer to Milan, would you want him?" Berlusconi nodded again.
This incident immediately spread throughout Italy and caused an uproar.
Although everyone knows that Berlusconi and Galliani are both malicious and want to disrupt Florence's morale, the Florence executives responded immediately. Lukesey said: "Chen Yu is the flag of Florence, and it is not a product. Even if AC Milan sells Shevchenko, we will not sell Chen Yu."
Chen Yu also calmed down the fans of Fiorentina at the press conference before the game, "I won't go anywhere. If I want to win the championship, I will win it with Fiorentina. Even if one day Fiorentina doesn't want me anymore, I won't stay in Italy. I will choose other leagues."
The cunning Berlusconi achieved his goal and immediately clarified it afterwards: "I only expressed my appreciation for Chen Yu, and we never considered buying him. Because the team's flag cannot be bought or sold. When we bought Nesta, Lazio had decided to sell him to Juventus, so we made the pre-order."
Ancelotti also explained: "Although I am also eager to get such an all-round killer, Chen is a flag of Florence and should stay in Florence.
The Ross and Blacks have never taken advantage of it since the 1995U season. The record of 3 draws and 4 losses is many of the "masterpieces" of the war god Barty of that year. Now, Fiorentina has its own new war god Chen Yu, a killer who is more efficient than Barty. Now, he has scored 31 goals, only five goals away from breaking the Serie A single season goal record. Under Chen Yu's leadership, it is very difficult for Milan, who is fighting on both sides, to win.
