Therefore, after the penalty shootout, Italian player Ma expressed his gratitude to the number one hero toldo for his practical actions!
I le a go! Christian, what do you want to do … Don’t do this and let me go quickly! Caught off guard, toldo was lif up by a strong vieri and others, vaguely aware that something was wrong. His face, which was full of joy, suddenly chan color and shouted in panic, Hey! If one of you misses and hurts me, who will keep the goal for you in the European Cup final in two days!
Toldo’s words didn’t play their due role. vieri and others obviously didn’t listen to other objections, so in toldo’s exclamation, vieri’s first Italian player threw toldo high into the middle school, which caused cheers from the fans at the scene!
Look at the statistics of shooting, possession rate and so on. However, they were defeated in the end. Although the Kluivets on the host side looked unhappy, they didn’t have any conflict with the Italian players after the game, and they didn’t take advantage of their home advantage. They deliberately threw cold water on their opponents and waved to the Dutch fans who had been supporting them all the time. They didn’t want to stay on the court and watch their opponents celebrate. The Dutch players returned to the dressing room first.
After hugging vieri and Starr and other club teammates one by one, Stam sighed and turned into the player’s channel. Two years ago, the World Cup and this year’s European Cup both stopped at the semifinals. The Dutch iron defender was somewhat uncomfortable in his heart. You know, these two years were the peak of Ajax’s golden generation. If you can win any honor at the national team level at this time, you can naturally imagine the future.
For Stam, who has won the club honor, it is his last wish to win a heavyweight championship on behalf of the national team.
During the match, the press conference after the match between the two teams was a bonhomie. Naturally, the Dutch media wouldn’t spill salt on their national team’s wounds at this time, let alone make trouble. It would be unreasonable to ask old Maldini if it was an antifootball performance to put on such an iron bucket array in the match. Italy has been playing defensive counterattacks for decades. You can’t force the other team to give up what you are best at and have to fight against you in the game, can you? What kind of robber logic is this!
The Italian media also have their reasons for not throwing stones at Rijkaard. After all, this is the home of the Dutch, and the final will be held in the Netherlands. If it is too arrogant now and the Dutch side is unhappy, then the other side will secretly trip Italy, which is not what the Italians want to see.
So the press conference ended in a harmonious atmosphere with the tacit cooperation of the media on both sides.
After the Netherlands and Italy won the game, the semifinal results and what happened in the game were quickly broadcast by the media and fans all over European football. People applauded the wonderful contradictory battle between the two teams and were shocked at the strange pole ball game in Holland in private.
So after this semifinal, many experts and the media analyzed the reasons why Holland would repeatedly fall on penalties.
Some people think that the Netherlands will lose many times on the penalty spot, mainly because the psychological quality of these players can’t bear the great mental pressure brought by the penalty kick, which leads to the recognition that although the Dutch players are firstclass in technology, their poor psychological quality will be the biggest obstacle to their progress to the championship!
There are also many people who think that Holland will be eliminated by Italy because of toldo’s superb performance. After all, toldo saved a total of six penalty kicks in this game (although two of them were not saved by toldo in a strict sense, they were also included in the statistics). Together with those wonderful saves in front of the door, it seems that the Netherlands has actually played quite well and was eliminated because of their bad luck. toldo happened to be in a wonderful state.
Of course, there are still many people who simply watch the fun and are not afraid of the big things. Most of these people will comment on the Dutch team’s performance in penalty kicks in a teasing tone. After all the teams, there are Dutch players’ clubs. Be careful not to let them take the penalty kick!
There are even some fans who ridicule that when many teams meet Barcelona in the stadium later, it is estimated that it is very likely that there will be an interesting phenomenon that they would rather give the Catalan legion a penalty than prevent the other team from scoring directly, because Barcelona is now the main body of the Dutch gang!
Just as people disagree about the causes of the penalty nightmare of the Orange Legion, an official news from the Dutch Football Association forced them to temporarily suspend this discussionafter friendly consultations between the two sides, Jacques Calder will resign as the head coach of the Dutch national team and find another job!
Frank (Rijkaard) is a great player, and he is also an excellent head coach. We thank him for his great contribution to Dutch football in the past two years. At the press conference, the president of the Dutch Football Association said with great emotion, Although we very much hope that Frank can lead the national team to continue to create new glory, it is a pity that Frank insists that he should be responsible for the team’s defeat in the semifinal of the European Cup, so we can agree to his request to cancel the contract.
In this way, Rijkaard became the first coach to announce the class among the 16 teams participating in the European Cup!

Yeah, I don’t think Rijkaard’s ability is good. Just say it. Socalled facetoface makes so many things. Looking at the picture, Zhuang Ge, the president of the Dutch Football Association, said with some disdain.
Zhuang Ge, the official statement made by the Dutch Football Association on Rijkaard’s departure, is naturally contemptuous in private. You know, in the past two years when he coached the Dutch national team, Rijkaard has only won 12 draws and 2 losses in 22 national team competitions, which means that the winning rate has just exceeded 36% in the last two years under the leadership of the Black Swan!
Don’t forget that Holland is not the top team with a large number of international firstclass stars such as Kluiwitt, Davies and Koku, who retired from cruyff and other famous players one after another twenty years ago.
So if it weren’t for Holland’s excellent performance in this year’s European Cup, it not only won three victories in the group stage, but also slaughtered Yugoslavia Rijkaard 61 in the quarterfinal, which saved a lot of hope. I’m afraid the Black Swan would have had a class with Dutch fans!
Therefore, in the eyes of professionals such as Zhuang Ge, Rijkaard’s announcement of his resignation after losing to Italy on penalties in the semifinal was just to find a step for himself with insufficient coaching ability, which can be seen from the fact that the Dutch Football Association and fans did not show any intention to retain the decision of Black Swan.
With the Netherlands eliminated by Italy in the semifinal, it has been 20 days since the European Cup finally entered the final stage. Fans and the media have paid attention to the peak confrontation between France and Italy and discussed the chances of winning the championship.
Although for fans and the media, the fouryear European Cup is naturally the most focused topic; However, for many European clubs, especially those aiming to win the championship, the European Cup is just a platform for them to examine the state and ability of the target players.
Therefore, at the end of the European Cup, most of the participating teams have gone home, and now these teams can’t help waving checkbooks and launching an offensive against their favorite players!
For example, the Red Devils Manchester United and Valencia, the runnerup winner of the Champions League, stared at zahovic. Ferguson and Cooper both agreed that this Slovenian star with outstanding organizational skills and scoring ability could bring more changes to the team. Nuno gomes and his compatriot Conceicao, who made a big splash in the European Cup, have also become the targets of many teams. Arsenal, which is considering injecting fresh blood into the offensive line, and Sampdoria, which is supported by the ruble in berezovsky, have expressed strong interest in them!
In addition, Spanish international mendieta and Yugoslav striker Milosevic have also become hot cakes in the transfer market by virtue of their wonderful performances in the European Cup. Club managers are staring at Valencia and Zaragoza with green eyes looking for opportunities to dig corners.
By the way, at present, the most soughtafter local players in Serie A clubs are Houdusse star Stifano Aolei and toldo, who performed a wonderful performance in the justconcluded semifinal!
Needless to say, everyone knows that Houdusse, who runs small businesses and resells players for a living, will never have a problem with money, so it is only a matter of time before Aolei leaves Wuji and moves to a more competitive club.
The situation in toldo is not so good. After the semifinal, the Florence goalkeeper publicly expressed his desire for a new environment when interviewed by reporters! More interestingly, Florence did not respond to toldo’s remarks, but chose silence.
Florence’s silence gave many people a reverie. Many people wondered whether toldo had some shackles with Florence before the European Cup, which led to the goalkeeper’s idea of leaving Viola!
However, for all the teams who are worried about the goalkeeper position, Florence’s attitude does not matter. Since the Bosman Act has been implemented for many years, the opinions of the players are the key to the success of the transfer. Therefore, in the eyes of these clubs interested in toldo, since toldo expressed the meaning of playing in a different environment in the interview, it means that he has already planned to leave Florence! All they have to do is make every effort to keep toldo going along this road and never give each other a chance to turn back!
It can be imagined that these clubs will fight for toldo in the upcoming summer transfer market, whether for the purpose of attacking competitors or strengthening themselves!
Giacinto, we must take action now! After watching the semifinal of the European Cup between Holland and Italy in front of the TV, Massimo Moratti is looking for Faccetti’s opinion urgently. If we don’t do it, toldo will probably be beaten by other teams who are interested in him!
Faccetti, president of Inter Milan, of course knows that there is another peruzzi who is not inferior to toldo in goalkeeper position, but toldo, who has rich experience in winning the championship, can obviously bring more help and confidence to the Nerazzurri who are inexperienced in this field. This is a career honor that peruzzi does not have, so Faccetti acquiesced in the idea that the great boss introduced toldo from Florence.
Er Massimo, I don’t think you need to be in such a hurry. Thought of this, Faccetti couldn’t help persuading him. You know, although many clubs in European football want to bring in an excellent goalkeeper like Manchester United and Liverpool, they are all interested in toldo, but the news that toldo decided to leave Florence is that it is impossible for others to get the exact news in our clubs that are close to Florence! So I think we still have plenty of time to plan this matter slowly.
Then I’ll leave it to you, Giacinto! After eating so much in the transfer market, Moratti finally learned a lesson and handed over the specific negotiators to professionals like Faccetti. Although the outside world is still in the stage of speculation about toldo’s transfer, we must be one step ahead of other potential competitors, but we must not be careless about it. If you are in financial difficulties, just come to me!
Chapter 967 Giants in action (in)
Moratti’s love for Inter Milan is from the bottom of his heart. Faccetti knows this better than anyone else. Therefore, after assuring Mo Da that the transfer will be completed, Faccetti immediately joined the liaison work with Florence.
Hello is Antonio? I am Giacento Facheti! Because Inter Milan and Florence are partners, they are naturally quite familiar with Florence President Faccetti. I heard Massimo say that you are going to sell Francesco Toldo. I wonder if this is true?
Well, that’s true. Yes, Francisco communicated with me in this respect before the curtain of the European Cup, and I also promised him to find a home. At the other end of the conversation, Zhuang Ge talked with Faccetti while looking through the progress information of the team’s signings quoted by players from various clubs in Florence. But from the current situation, it seems that he intends to use this European Cup as a platform to upgrade his own status. Otherwise, he could not have released the news that he wants to leave until now … How can it be said that Inter Milan is also interested in the transfer of toldo?
Of course, an excellent goalkeeper like toldo and a team can refuse his temptation. For Zhuang Ge’s temptation, Faccetti generously admitted his intention and said, I wonder if you have time, I plan to go to Rotterdam and talk to you face to face about this transfer? After all, I’m afraid some words that don’t talk face to face will create unnecessary trouble for both of us.
Of course, no problem. I’ll wait for you here. Faccetti and I said goodbye to each other. Zhuang Ge put down the microphone and then turned to Karin and Rebecca and said with a smile, Okay, two beautiful women, now let’s get ready for the upcoming guests!
So on the first day of the summer transfer market in Europe, that is, on July 1st, Faccetti arrived in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with two assistants, and went to Zhuangge Hotel to prepare for preliminary negotiations on the introduction of toldo!
Mr. Faccetti, I am relieved to see you look so good. After a brief ceremony, Zhuang Ge took the lead in saying that he and Faccetti naturally don’t have to add the suffix Chairman to each other’s names. Massimo’s love for Inter Milan is beyond doubt, but he is a complete novice in the management of clubs and teams. If you don’t help him, I’m really worried that he will be killed by some people with ulterior motives.
This sentence is not that Zhuang Ge said in Hu that Moratti’s transfer market has been beaten repeatedly in the past, largely because there is no reliable person to assist him, which makes people often fool him and he immediately becomes the most typical example. In the summer of 24 years, Carini, the third goalkeeper of Juventus, bought Cannavaro from Moratti! This transfer not only made Moggi’s career as general manager proud, but also made Moratti wear the hat of being virtuous or not, which will be the laughing stock of European football for a long time to come.
After seeing that Faccetti became the president of Inter Milan a few years ago, Moratti stepped back to take charge of saving money, Zhuang Ge really felt that it was possible for an effective ally of Inter Milan and Florence. In Zhuang Ge’s eyes, if the Nerazzurri were still in Moratti’s control, then Inter Milan could at best be a nominal ally of Florence, and that was its limit, and nothing could be expected.
After all, the football circle is more about achievements. Even if Moratti’s family is more powerful in Italy, if Inter Milan’s achievements are not strong, there will still be not enough words. What is more important than Moratti’s words in Juventus and AC Milan? It’s because these two teams have achieved much better results in foreign competitions than Inter Milan!
Haha, thank you for your heart for Massimo and me. I’m here to thank Antonio first for Massimo. Like Moratti, Faccetti also likes this young generation, although the other party won the honor of the position of club president, including himself. So how about we get down to business now?
You said it was better for me to get down to business earlier and go around Rotterdam. After all, I’m still on vacation now anyway ~ Zhuang Ge said with a smile in her hands. This is something that can’t be helped. Who let me be the president of Florence? Whether I work overtime or not, I have to work hard … Oh, it’s really hard work!
Faccetti smell speech but quietly took a glance is sitting in the other room watching Karin and small Groz heart said you ya really thickskinned, throw the club things to the genus to do yourself when a shopkeeper of cutting and bringing two beautiful women to watch the European Cup, don’t say now, but delay you at most. Shout tired here at noon?
In order to avoid being angry with each other for cerebral hemorrhage, Faccetti decisively turned the topic into the right track
… let me start by saying that our Inter Milan has made a preliminary offer for toldo. Unlike the generous boss, Faccetti obviously pays more attention to the club’s balance of payments and Moratti’s pocket, so he is much stingy in buying people. What do you think of paying this price at one time with 150,000 dollars?
Feed a mere $150,000 to buy a triple crown team and the main force of the World Cup champion team, but also a goalkeeper who ranks among the top five in the world in terms of ability? Mr. Faccetti, aren’t you a little too whimsical? Although he was psychologically prepared for Faccetti’s stingy degree, Zhuang Ge was caught off guard by the other side’s move. You know, the transfer of players has risen sharply in the past two years. Like Denilson, flower racks can sell for 350,000 dollars, not to mention the value of toldo.
Speaking of which, Zhuang Ge made a gesture to Faccetti and said categorically, It’s less than $30,000! Otherwise talk!
Chapter 96 Giants in action ()
Thirty thousand dollars? ！” Hearing the price of Zhuang Song, Faccetti was startled by the other lion’s mouth and hurriedly retorted, Antonio, this price is not too high, is it? Even if toldo’s performance in the European Cup is really excellent, he is the main goalkeeper with five consecutive titles and four champions’ cups in Florence, and his ability is really firstclass among all the goalkeepers today, but don’t forget that toldo is a famous goalkeeper and will definitely be much cheaper than those attacking players in terms of price!
Faccetti didn’t take the words otherwise talk mentioned by Yu Zhuangge at all. In his view, it’s just that the other party wants a highpriced means … In transfer negotiations, it’s always necessary to sit on the ground and pay back the money on the spot. Both sides are trying to maximize their respective interests. It’s no big deal.
I believe you have heard the saying that a good goalkeeper can top half a team in Faccetti, and I also believe that with Italians, you should know what a good goalkeeper can do for the team. For Faccetti’s refutation of Zhuang Ge, he replied unhurriedly, So since toldo is the best goalkeeper in today’s football group, is it normal that the price is higher?
Yeah, that is to say, there are still some reliable people guarding the goal of most big teams. If goalkeepers like toldo enter the transfer market in ten years, you guys won’t be able to get a head start. Have a considerable understanding of the future trend of international football, Zhuang Ge thought with some regret in his heart.
Zhuang Ge, who is loyal to FM, clearly remembers that Neuer’s value reached 240,000 US dollars when he transferred from Schalke 4 to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2011; Degea, a goalkeeper who has not proved his ability in international competitions, paid 170,000 pounds of real money when he joined Manchester United!
Let’s look at the transfer market now. When peruzzi moved to Inter Milan last year, 190,000 euros was already the highest transfer record for the goalkeeper. Juventus bought Van der Sar for a mere 10 million euros, which is simply shabby compared with the striker’s tens of millions of transfer goalkeepers.
Antonio, I admit that what you said is very reasonable, but please note that the current situation is that toldo intends to leave Florence and there is no shortage of excellent goalkeepers in our team. If you scare us away by asking too much, there may not be a team that is more generous than us who is willing to take over toldo.
Ha ha, if you Inter Milan really thought Peruzzi could play the same role as toldo, then Faccetti wouldn’t appear in front of me now. After hearing Faccetti’s implied threat, Zhuang Ge smiled and said, By the way, I remember that Manchester United, Sampdoria and Lazio are also short of goalkeepers, and those bosses are not bad money owners. Since Inter Milan thinks toldo is too expensive, I can just talk to these representatives and believe that I will get a good result.
yeah! Finding Zhuang Gegen unmoved, Faccetti smacked his lips discontentedly. He had realized that if he wanted to win toldo before other teams did, he had to pay enough transfer to impress the young chairman. After all, Ferguson and berezovsky cragnotti are the kind of people who like the players in the movie and spend a lot of money. The goal is to break even. Faccetti can’t compete with these local tyrants to burn money.
