Chapter 223 The last round!
Due to the adjustment of the World Cup schedule, the final round of the Serie A game was brought forward to May 5th.

The Fiorentina team, which basically has nothing to desire, is about to go to Bari to play the last Serie A game of the season.

Before the game, news broke out in the media that the Italian Football Association had contacted Prandelli, hoping that the latter could succeed Lippi as the new helm of the Italian national team after the World Cup.

In this regard, Florence officials did not refute the rumors as before.

Prandelli, who was involved, did not make any statement to refute the rumors, so the rumors intensified.

At this time, many Fiorentina fans realized that Prandelli had not mentioned the renewal of his contract with the team for a long time.

Things seem to be getting closer and closer to the truth!

On the other hand, Mu Jianfeng, who was once expected to win the Golden Boot in the middle of the season, missed too many games due to injuries and personal affairs.

So his scoring efficiency may be higher, but he is still 28 goals behind the "old demon" Di Natale who scored 4 goals in the total scoring list.

Despite the hopelessness, Fiorentina's supporters' organization CAV still prepared banners to celebrate and traveled with the team to Bari.

It is expected that Mu Jianfeng can stage the return of the king in the final round and regain the Golden Boot honor for Florence.

……

Before the game, in the locker room of Barry's visiting team, Prandelli looked at his players with a rare smile on his face.

In the past two seasons, due to the pressure of the team's record, external pressure, and internal conflicts, Prandelli frowned almost all the time. It is very rare to look at everyone with a smile like this.

Even if there is an occasional victory, he will immediately start working hard to prepare for the next game.

But at this time, Prandelli, who had basically confirmed the coaching position of the national team, looked at these young men in front of him, but suddenly felt a strong reluctance in his heart.

Cesare Prandelli looked over one by one. He first looked at the current first captain of the team, goalkeeper Frey.

The bearded man came with him on loan from Parma and was one of his confidantes during his time at Parma.

Then he looked at Gilardino, Gamberini, Montorivo, Comotto, Pasquale and others.

These players are all players who have been with him for several years. He knows them and may be able to cooperate again in the national team in the future.

He looked at Jovetic and Mu Jianfeng again.

These two young people grew up step by step under his own eyes. The hard work and energy spent on cultivating young people is really difficult, but the joy brought by the growth of young people is really intoxicating.

It's a pity that there may not be many opportunities to cooperate with Jovetic in the future. As for Mu Jianfeng...he can only say that he will try to recruit him into the Italian national team.

Finally, he glanced at the excited Rajajic in the corner and Babakar who pretended to be calm.

These little guys, I hope the coaches in the future can take care of them well, so that they can also become talents!

While looking at the crowd, the smile on Prandelli's face gradually disappeared, and finally there was a touch of sadness.

Just when some keen players noticed the abnormality of the head coach, Prandelli spoke first:
"Boys!
Maybe some of you have noticed some rumors out there.

There are rumors that I will succeed Mr. Lippi to coach the national team.

Now, I can tell you that these are true.

This might be the last game I'll be working with.

Then, we may have to part ways briefly.

Although there is reluctance in my heart, I still want to pursue my dream.
If I did not do well before, I hope to get everyone's forgiveness!

Because please believe that maybe my working methods cannot be recognized by everyone, but I will always be loyal to our common beliefs.

Here, I wish all of you a wonderful and brilliant career future! "

After finishing speaking, Prandelli bowed slightly and saluted everyone!
This unexpected scene made everyone stunned, because in their impression, Prandelli was always a cool and very conceited guy.

This side in front of them was something they had never seen before.

But the next moment, the players who reacted were the first to applaud!
"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa!"

A smile appeared on Prandelli's face again, and he stretched out his hand to press it, motioning for everyone to stop applauding, and then continued to speak:
"In this last game, we hardly have too many goals. I just hope that everyone can enjoy the game as much as possible, and at the same time, do everything possible to help one of us complete a great task!

That is to help Mu compete for the Golden Boot!

Yes, our only tactical arrangement in this game is to create shooting opportunities for Mu!
The minimum goal for this game is three goals. If he can't score three goals, how about fined him to clean everyone's sneakers for a week for every goal missed? "

"it is good!!!"

Many of Prandelli's proposals won everyone's approval, but Mu Jianfeng was confused.

Because he never heard anyone mention this matter!
Even he himself doesn't have much desire for the golden boots, so let alone the condition that he would take one less ball and polish the team's shoes for a week!

But seeing that everyone's emotions were very high at the moment, Mu Jianfeng could only pursed his lips and smiled, then shook his head helplessly while accepting the "bet".

For a while, the teammates in the locker room all made fun of Mu Jianfeng, one shouted that he would pass ten crosses to him, and the other said that he would send him eight through balls.

In short, it gives people the feeling that under the unity of will, if Mu Jianfeng does not bring back the golden boots, he will be a sinner through the ages!
But in such an atmosphere, the sadness of parting and the depression of losing the game before were virtually diluted a lot.

Therefore, when it came to the court, it became a matter of course for Fiorentina to rub the Bari team on the ground with the task of relegation in the last round of having nothing to desire.

……

Under the organization of CAV, about 500 fans rushed to Bari for this game, hoping to watch Mu Jianfeng perform a miracle and win the Golden Boot.

The premise for Mu Jianfeng to win the Golden Boot is that Di Natale will not score any more goals in this game when there are no less than four goals.

Otherwise, if Di Natale continues to score goals, the gap between the two sides will be further widened.

As can be seen from the pre-match roster, Prandelli seems to be deliberately creating opportunities for Mu Jianfeng.

He made adjustments to the starting lineup, and Jovetic and Santana appeared together on the left and right sides to create opportunities for Mu Jianfeng.

Gilardino was on the bench.

In the midfield, Marchionne, Zanetti and Montolivo sit in the midfield together to organize the attack.

As for the guard, Vargas returned to the position of left back, and the other side also chose to send Gobi, who is more aggressive, to start!
Start with the standard four-three-three attack formation!

After the start of the game, Fiorentina launched an impact towards Barry's half almost from the first minute!

In the opening 4 minutes, Montolivo hoisted the ball into the penalty area from the left side of Barry's half. Mu Jianfeng's left-footed hook shots from two defenders carrying Barry were blocked by Barry's goalkeeper Gillette!
Five minutes later, Jovetic took a free kick 5 meters from the goal in the middle. After the ball was hoisted into the penalty area, Mu Jianfeng jumped high and headed the goal. Unfortunately, he was interfered by the defensive player and missed the goal.

In the 13th minute, Fiorentina finally broke through Barry's goal!
In Santana's pass, Jovetic faked a long-range shot in front of the penalty area to deceive the defender, and sent the ball into the penalty area. After Mu Jianfeng shook off the defender, he volleyed!
The shot was so powerful and so sudden that Gillette didn't react at all!

After scoring the goal, Mu Jianfeng didn't waste too much time celebrating, and quickly ran back to his own half to wait for the kick-off.

After conceding the goal, the Barry players seemed to be a little anxious, pressing heavily to try to create some defensive pressure for Fiorentina to contain them.

But the Fiorentina players completely ignored the danger in front of their own goal, but were ready to attack and counterattack at any time!

As a result, in the 23rd minute, the score on the field was rewritten again!
Fiorentina seized a counterattack opportunity, Montorivo passed the header, and Mu Jianfeng's header flew to the feet of Vargas who was inserted from the wing.

Vargas slowed down after taking the ball, and did not make a hasty cross. Instead, he chose to cooperate with Jovetic in a two-for-one, and then quickly passed a ground ball to the goal!
Mu Jianfeng squeezed away Barry's defenders, stretched out his long legs wittyly and knocked, and the ball went into the goal from Gillette's armpit!
Two to zero!
Just after halftime in the first half, Fiorentina, who played away, had already achieved a two-goal lead!
And their leading shooter Mu Jianfeng has already scored twice, leaving only 2 goals behind the top scorer list!
