Chapter 26 League One
The Empoli people gave up the game, but Fiorentina didn't want to let them go so easily. The new season has just started, and even if they have the ultimate nuclear weapon in their hands, they still need to polish their old-fashioned guns.
In the 35th minute of the game, Fiorentina scored again. This time it was Mutu or Modric who launched the attack and passed it to Digan at the front of Empoli's penalty area. After Digan received the ball, he leaned on En Polly's defensive player pushed the ball to the right, and Mutu followed up with a beautiful kick. The football passed the fingertips of the Empoli goalkeeper and fell firmly into the net.
Before the end of the first half, Fiorentina extended their lead to four goals. Degan's shot was lifted over the bar by the Empoli goalkeeper. Fiorentina won the corner kick.
Leading by four goals in the first half, Fiorentina played more easily in the second half, Prandelli also frequently dispatched troops, Arteta and Hamsik replaced Modric and Montolivo.
The Spaniard played for Fiorentina for the first time, and he contributed an assist three minutes later. His long pass from the wing accurately found Digan in the penalty area. When Digan received the ball, there was no Empoli beside him. The defensive player, such a big gift, Degan has no reason not to accept it. He pushed through Empoli's goal and completed the first hat-trick of the new season.
The South Stand immediately showed the third banner they prepared: Thank you Digan! 128!
Then Prandelli replaced Mutu with Kavinaji and continued to strengthen the attack. Degan's position was also shifted to the left. Kavinaji scored the goal with the first touch of the ball after he came on the field. He received a Digan cross from the left and headed home.
6:0!
The Fiorentina fans in the Fraggi stand were almost hoarse now, but they still couldn't stop their enthusiasm for cheering for the team.
Amidst the cheers of the fans, the Fiorentina players also became more and more courageous. The Slovak teenager Hamsik who came off the bench scored Fiorentina's seventh goal of the game before the end. After receiving Digan's pass, he used The technique at the foot passed two of Empoli's defensive players and hit the goal successfully.
Immediately after Hamsik's goal, the referee stopped the game without giving a minute of stoppage time, and the Empoli players did not have any objections.
The moment the referee blew the whistle, they left the court, and even forgot to complete the last program of the game—handshake!
When Shodati left the field, his eyes seemed to be frozen. He knew that he had become a big joke in Italy. Before the game, he vowed to seek revenge from Digan, but now?
In the whole game, Degan scored three goals and assisted two times, becoming the biggest star on the field. What about him? A shot, but also outrageous.
Courtini, the head coach of Empoli, looked at Prandelli who was walking towards him, with mixed feelings in his heart. He is also the head coach. Why is there such a big gap between the fates of the two? Landry's cards, and then his own.
Holding hands with Prandelli, Courtini with a wry smile let out a sigh from the bottom of his heart.
"7:0! In the first game of the new season, Fiorentina completed the massacre against Empoli at the Frachi Stadium. Degan's state is already hot, and Empoli's defense line can't stop his fierce firepower at all. The first half fell apart, congratulations to Fiorentina, they have achieved a perfect victory."
At the press conference after the game, Courtini was full of frustration. He knew that his coaching position would be shaken in just one game. The shame of this massacre cannot be offset.
"I'm sorry, this game was not what I wanted to go through, I think it will take a long time for me and my players to forget what happened tonight, but it was difficult, I am very happy with the performance of the players on the field. Disappointed, after they found that they could not shake the advantage of Fiorentina, they chose not to fight, but to give up. This is not the behavior that a man should have. I can only say that after Digan scored the first goal in this game, Everything changed and I want to congratulate my opponents, they deserved this big win."
Prandelli took Courtini's compliments into account: "I'm delighted with the performance of the lads, they proved that Fiorentina are strong contenders for the league title this season, and it's a great night for all Fiorentina fans. It's fantastic, it's all just fantastic, Rhodes! He's the best player I've ever seen, he has the ability to surpass all legends, 127 goals! I want to say, it's definitely not his The limit, in fact, he can do more and do better!"
At the same time, Degan was also interviewed by reporters at the door of the locker room. There is no doubt that he once again became the protagonist of the game. With three goals and two assists, he is the most shining star today.
"I feel great now, I know I scored three goals, but what makes me even more happy is that we as a whole are improving every day, as you can see, every aspect of today's game, we have dealt with it. Everyone on the field gave their all for the team to win, and that's what I care about the most!"
"Piola! No! It's too early to say what he said. There are many people ahead of me. They are all great shooters. What I have to do now is to help the team continue to win. , scoring more goals, trying to catch up, my goal? As I said before, I don't like to share the honor with anyone. If I really want to set a goal for all the scorers in the history of Serie A, I hope I Will be the one who stands at the top!"
The reporters listened, and they didn't know what it was like. Piola was the greatest striker in Italian history, but he seemed to be nothing to be afraid of when he came to Digan's mouth.
Stand on top! ?
274 goals!
That is a result that many good shooters have to look up to, but for Degan, everything is possible. Perhaps only his own feet know how many goals this madman can score.
After this game, all ten games in the first round of the 2007/2008 Serie A season also came to an end. People were surprised to find that Juventus, who had just sat at the top of the league for a day, was kicked out. Successfully ascended.
Ranked first in the league!
Although it was only the first game, Fiorentina fans were still cheering. Since Fiorentina was ordered to be relegated, this is the first time they have stood at the top of the league standings.
Although the team's record last season was very good, but because of penalty points, they had no chance to become the first place in the league. This season they finally did it.
"First in the league? I can understand the feelings of the fans, but to be honest, I really don't think there is anything to be proud of. This is only the first round of the league. We still have 37 games to play. The league is still very It will be a long time, and we still have to face many challenges, we should now focus on playing well in every next game!"
The reporters listened to Degan's eloquent talk, and all of them were stunned. Is this still that crazy Brazilian ghost animal?
When did he actually learn to be humble?
But Degan's next words made the reporters understand that Degan was still the same Degan, and his arrogance had not diminished at all.
"We are not afraid of any opponent's challenge. Facts have proved that we are the best team in Serie A. Looking at today's score, we know that the seventh place in Serie A last season is not our opponent at all. We will always Keep winning until we lift the league title!"
Depend on!
It's true that there are no capable people in Italy!
The reporters were annoyed. What Degan said was different from the Declaration of Conquest. You, a Brazilian and Belgian bastard, looked down on people so much.
The reporters were annoyed, and the competitors for the league championship also expressed: We can't stand it anymore!
"Just one game can't explain anything. He was too happy! This is not good for the future of Fiorentina, except that it will make more teams work hard when facing Fiorentina." Ancelotti said The immorality of worrying about the country and the people is actually hating Florence.
It is conceivable that if all the other nineteen teams in Serie A face Fiorentina and try their best, how difficult it will be for Fiorentina to compete for the championship.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has been silent for a long time, can't stand Degan's arrogance anymore. As the saying goes, there are two tigers in one mountain. Italian football already has his egomaniac. Naturally, there is no need for another Degan. Crazy.
"He said that he is not afraid of any challenge, very good, then we will ~~~~~~~~" Ibrahimovic quickly stopped his voice, obviously resounding the streaking experience in the summer, if we try again, it is still No more, quickly changed the subject, "Inter Milan is the most powerful team, our goal this season is to complete three consecutive championships, we have no enemies, because no team is worthy of Inter Milan's opponent, Fiorentina , so what is a small country team, when the league is over, you will find that they have been left far behind by us."
Ibrahimovic said proudly, but inadvertently refocused Digan's hatred towards Fiorentina on Inter Milan.
Mancini was also furious, and then announced a gag order to the Swede. Before he matured, the big man had better keep his mouth shut.
