At the turn of the new century, the European leagues were still on the eve of change.
The changes to the Champions League are neither fish nor fowl, the schedule is cumbersome, the merger of the UEFA Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup has not changed its tasteless fate, and it is increasingly marginalized. The Bosman Act has not fully shown its consequences, and capital has not yet entered the major leagues. Although the traditional forces
They are in charge of order, but championships are still stolen by small clubs from time to time, giant clubs are ups and downs, and new forces are in the ascendant. Whether it is to win the championship or avoid relegation, the competition is much more intense than before.
There are still eight rounds of Serie A and La Liga, but the emerging force Roma is ranked first in Serie A. Behind them are the giants Inter Milan, Juventus, and another upstart Lazio. The giant AC Milan has sunk.
There is little hope of even qualifying for the Champions League.
In La Liga, Real Madrid reversed the trend and suppressed the defending champion Deportivo La Coruna. Compared with last season, the Spanish team Deportivo lacked the spirit and foundation and is now on the decline.
, a 5-point gap gives them little hope of defending the title.
The giant Barcelona is still wandering in the dark, saying goodbye to the championship with eight rounds left. The quasi-rich Valencia is an expert in foreign wars but an outsider in civil wars. It has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and is still fighting against Barcelona in the league.
Competing for the semi-finals, it is very likely that they will not even be able to play in the Champions League.
There are still 5 rounds left in the Premier League and Bundesliga. Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United is still very proud. There are still 5 rounds of league games left. He is 7 points ahead of his old rival Arsenal and 8 points ahead of Liverpool. Three consecutive league championships are just around the corner. Traditional giants Arsenal and Liverpool are on the list.
Top three, but can only pick a few
In the cup competition, Leeds United were full of energy, but they lacked a bit of foundation. The only thing that made Ferguson regretful was being eliminated by Bayern in the Champions League, but the Triple Crown is not something that can be won every year, and Ferguson also has some regrets about this.
A clear understanding.
The competition in the Bundesliga is the most fierce. There is only 6 points difference from first place Bayern to sixth place Werder Bremen. Although Bayern has the advantage, if you want to easily achieve three consecutive championships, you still need to ask Schalke 04 and other teams if they agree.
.
Ligue 1 has come to an end. There are only three league rounds. The championship is still a battle between the heroes. Basically, one changes every year. Unlike a few years later, Lyon won the championship every year. Now Nantes is at the top of the list, 4 points ahead of Lyon. The situation of winning the championship is excellent and defending the title.
The champion Monaco fell to 12th place and almost went into a relegation battle. The king's flag changed on the city wall. This poem is the most suitable to describe Ligue 1.
From the perspective of influence and stars, although Serie A has begun to decline at the turn of the century, they are still the strongest league. In the 1990s, 8 Serie A teams entered the Champions League finals, 4 entered the Cup Winners' Cup finals, and 9 entered the league.
In the cup finals, even the chaotic Inter Milan was able to win the UEFA Cup three times, which shows how powerful Serie A is. The so-called centipede is dead but not dead. This is what it means.
The competition for the Serie A championship is of course the most watched in the entire football world, and every game is enough to tug at the heartstrings of hundreds of millions of fans.
And the current Serie A is far less closed than it was later. The championship is always in the hands of the top three from the north. The two heroes from the south can still break through the ice and bring greater suspense and excitement to the competition for the Serie A championship.
After Jiang Mu, who had the aura of the Champions League champion, joined Inter Milan, this chaotic team, known as the black hole of stars, suddenly became miraculous, winning 13 consecutive victories crazily, and also reached the final of the UEFA Cup. Under Jiang Mu's ownership
In the games, he only drew one.
The addition of Jiang Mu has made Serie A even crazier and attracted more attention. If the mainstream European sports newspapers and TV stations don't put the news about Inter Milan and Jiang Mu on the front page, it must be due to the domestic league.
It's a big deal.
In the 27th round of Serie A, the games between Inter Milan and Fiorentina, and Juventus and Parma are the focus of the battle. The Roma duo encountered weak teams in this round. They were chased hard by Juventus and Inter Milan, the top three in the south. Now
They are all waiting eagerly for Inter Milan and Juventus to make mistakes.
Parma and Fiorentina also have the strength and motivation to cause trouble for Juventus and Inter Milan.
Parma is the head of the second group, and Fiorentina is the tail. Parma is desperately chasing the Champions League bus, and Fiorentina is trying to protect its UEFA Cup seat and covets the Champions League. If they want to realize their dreams, then a game
You can't fail, because the points are too tight.
Parma is an upstart in Serie A. They and Juventus have only played 20 games in the history of Serie A. Parma is slightly behind with 5 wins, 9 draws and 6 losses, scoring 26 goals and conceding 28 goals; including 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at home.
The defeat had the upper hand, scoring 12 goals and conceding 10. This round, Parma was playing at home.
Fiorentina and Inter Milan are old rivals. The two teams have played a total of 128 games in the history of Serie A. Inter Milan has a certain advantage with 46 wins, 46 draws and 36 losses, but the difference in goals scored is not big, scoring 187 goals and conceding 164 goals; however,
Inter Milan has an absolute advantage with 33 wins, 18 draws and 13 losses at home, and the goal difference is also obvious, scoring 119 goals and conceding 69 goals.
In the first round, Inter Milan lost to Fiorentina 0:2 away from home, but things have changed now. Fiorentina's head coach has changed from Turkish Terim to Lazio assistant coach Mancini. Inter Milan
The head coach has changed from Tardelli to Jiang Mu, and even the race has changed.
However, the grievances between the teams will not disappear with the departure of the head coach and players. They will only settle into the hearts of fans over time.
Now, under the leadership of Jiang Mu, Inter Milan's strength has skyrocketed, their confidence is bursting, and they are determined to win the championship. Of course, they also definitely want to take revenge.
However, Florence will not be easy to mess with after the coaching change. Mancini, who was born in 1964, only hung up his boots last season and still maintains a huge influence.
Entering 2001, Florence was in trouble both internally and externally. Under the double pressure of the economic crisis and the team's sluggish state, a big earthquake finally broke out: club general manager Antonignoni, Turkish head coach Terim, assistant coaches and goalkeeper coaches collectively resigned. President Cecci
?Gauri invited Mancini, who was not yet qualified to be the head coach of a Serie A team. Although the Italian Professional Football Coaches Association objected to Mancini's coaching, in view of Mancini's huge influence, the Italian Football Association still allowed it.
Mancini taught in Florence.
After Mancini took charge of Florence, his performance was as miraculous as Jiang Mu's. He only joined Florence in February, but he quickly relied on his huge personality to unite a scattered team. When Mancini first arrived in Florence,
Fiorentina was third from the bottom in the league without a win in ten games. Two months later, Mancini led this scarred and declining giant to rank 8th and miraculously reach the Italian Cup final. Three days after the game with Inter Milan, they were beaten by Parazzi.
Team Elma competes for the championship.
If Jiang Mu brought a radical change to Inter Milan, then Mancini's Fiorentina can also be said to be completely new.
The competition between Inter Milan and Fiorentina is not only a competition between teams, but also a competition between two young coaches.
Mancini is 10 years older than Jiang Mu, but in the coaching industry, it is very rare to be under the age of 40. Without Jiang Mu, Mancini would be the youngest coach in the five major leagues and the most promising coach.
But now, both of these titles have been taken away by Jiang Mu.
Although Mancini's leadership performance has not passed the test of time, and he has no experience in leading a team to win championships, Mancini's talent and influence can still be compared with Jiang Mu, because Mancini's professional player
His career was very brilliant, but Jiang Mu did not come from a professional background. Before Mourinho came along, coaches who were not players were not valued by people. The reason is very simple. People just think like this: You can't even play the ball.
If you can't play well and you're not even a professional player, how can you be a good coach?
Jiang Mu is changing people's thinking, but this change cannot be achieved overnight. People still believe more in professional players becoming coaches after retirement.
Although Mancini has not been coaching alone for a long time and lacks persuasiveness, he has already demonstrated his coaching talent when assisting Eriksson in coaching Lazio. Mancini, who has just retired, is the third member of Eriksson's coaching staff.
After the No. 2 figure, Eriksson, was fired, President Cragnotti invited Jiang Mu, but Jiang Mu did not agree. When he asked Mancini to be the coach of Lazio, Mancini said he was "unwilling to jump on the job."
He gave up the opportunity to coach the defending champion on the grounds of "a train has already started". At that time, the media praised Mancini for being free and easy and rational, while others thought he was crazy. However, few people knew that this was Mancini eating Jiang Mu.
Jealousy, he was dissatisfied with being regarded as Jiang Mu's backup by Cragnotti, otherwise no player who had just retired could refuse to become the head coach of the star-studded Lazio.
Jiang Mu was being competed by several wealthy families at the time and had been weighing his future. Naturally, he would not have thought that he was innocently hated by Mancini. But even if he knew, Jiang Mu was not afraid. With Chang'e 1, even Mu
Rinho was born, Guardiola came on the scene, and Jiang Mu had a good chance of winning. Why would he care about Mancini, who was less talented?
Jiang Mu does not dare to take Mancini and Fiorentina lightly. Inter Milan’s stars are shining, and Fiorentina also has many stars who can change the situation, such as midfield superstars Rui Costa and Mijatovic, world-class goalkeeper Toldo,
Powerful forwards Chiesa and Gomez, these are stars with both fame and strength, especially on a central axis, Chiesa, Rui Costa, Di Livio and Toldo are not strong
Under Inter Milan, the forward line is a bit worse. Costa and Pirlo in the midfield are of the same level, but Costa is more mature. Defenders Di Livio and Blanco are about the same age, and goalkeeper Toldo is even better than Frey.
.
Faced with such a hard pivot, even Jiang Mu would not dare to claim victory at home, not to mention that after Juventus lost the last game, the ranking fell to third, and there is no telling what is going on behind the scenes.
, Jiang Mu had to make complete preparations to make all the conspiracies come to naught under the overwhelming advantage.
