Chapter 28 Big List

On the second working day after the winter break, the Fiorentina club announced on its official website that Pacini had left the team to join Sampdoria.

The official website expressed its gratitude to Pazzini for his dedication to the team over the years, and expressed his best wishes for his future career.

As for how much of it is sincere, no one knows.

However, some Italian media later disclosed some news about the transfer:
Sampdoria raised the offer to 850 million euros at the last moment, and then persuaded Fiorentina to let him go, and snatched the young and famous striker from Bologna, allowing Pacini to come to Sampdoria as he wished, and compete with the famous Serie A team. The bad boy Cassano formed a new strike partner.

At the same time, some media reported that Bologna is chasing another young Fiorentina striker, Osvaldo, after failing to introduce Pazzini, and has already made his debut with an offer of 700 million euros.

The two parties are likely to close the deal in the short term.

It's just that the player himself is still hesitating, because Oswal became famous when he was young, and he originally played well last season after logging into Serie A.It's just that with the joining of Gilardino this season, his playing space has been greatly compressed, but he is still not sure whether leaving Fiorentina and joining Bologna will be a career regression, so he is still hesitant to make up his mind.

However, it is said that in response to this, Bologna's head coach has personally called Osvaldo to tell him that the team will fully support Osvaldo and formulate tactics around him.

This made Osvaldo uneasy. At present, the players only need to nod. Perhaps this transaction between the two clubs is just around the corner.

In addition to these, there are many transfer rumors, but these are completely unimportant to Mu Jianfeng.

At this time, he had already started restorative exercise three days in advance. On the day the team resumed training, he rode a bicycle to the training early in the morning and started warming up.

"Morning, Mu!"

When Mu Jianfeng was just halfway warming up, he heard Jovetic's voice in his ear, so he stopped, turned around and greeted the young Montenegrin.

"Morning, Stefan!"

The two looked at each other and found that the other's physical condition was still in good condition, so they squeezed their eyes and started warming up together with a smile.

Shortly thereafter, Bruni also came to the training ground in his sportswear. Seeing that Jovetic was there, he greeted him with a smile.

"Morning! Stefan!"

"Morning! Coach Bruni!"

It is worth noting that Bruni also has a very good foundation in English, so Jovetic is also thinking about wanting to train with Bruni with Mu Jianfeng recently.

Therefore, after the two greeted each other, Jovetic also began to do warm-up exercises with Bruni.

Soon, apart from the players who had confirmed their departure, other first-team stars came to the training ground one after another, and the training ground gradually became lively.

Among them was Osvaldo, an originally cheerful young man who had become silent due to the recent transfer rumors. At this time, he was doing warm-up activities alone in the corner of the training ground.

In the end, Prandelli, as usual, stepped into the training ground in time, scanned all the players on the training ground and frowned slightly.

Because he found that the size of some main players seemed to have changed, which made Prandelli, who intended to pay attention to physical training, a little dissatisfied.

Since it was the first day of training after returning from the winter break, the content of all the training was arranged very simply. Most of the coaches arranged some recovery training and asked everyone to do a physical examination one by one.

Among them, several players who gained weight and had unsatisfactory physical test results were listed separately by Prandelli, and specifically asked them to increase the amount of physical training, and strive to recover before the first game after the winter break!
The young people in the team have maintained a good physical condition, but there is still a big question mark whether the young people's ability is trustworthy.

……

The team has been training for about a week after gathering, and they are about to prepare for the No. 18 round of Serie A, which is scheduled to face Lecce at home on January 1.

Because it is the first game back from the winter break, and before the winter break, Fiorentina won the league throughout December, so the team is also eager to continue the state, so they are very active in preparing for the game .

Until the day before the game, Prandelli announced the roster for the game, and the roster basically remained unchanged.

Just like before, Mu Jianfeng was not selected, but Osvaldo, who was rumored to be leaving the team, was included in the squad.

As for Jovetic, he is already a regular rotation player of the team.

In this regard, after Mr. Prandelli finished reading the last name selected for the competition, although Mu Jianfeng was mentally prepared, he was still somewhat disappointed.

So he can only make himself train harder and try to make his body more tired, so that he has no energy to lose!

……

In the end, in the first Serie A game after returning from the winter break, facing the mediocre Lecce, the Fiorentina players seemed to have not recovered from the winter break.

In the 6th minute of the opening, Lecce player Giacomasi scored a goal in the penalty area.

Since then, although Melo scored the equalizing goal with a header in the 24th minute, a few minutes later, Lecce's No. 11 player Castillo took advantage of the overall absence of Fiorentina's defense and scored again in the 28th minute. In [-] minutes, he successfully grabbed a point in the penalty area and scored a goal to overtake the score!
In desperation, shortly after the start of the second half, Prandelli replaced Jovetic to strengthen the attack.But Mutu's unexpected injury in minutes forced Prandelli to replace Osvaldo, but Osvaldo, who has been absent this season and distracted by transfer rumors, has no form.

In the end, Fiorentina couldn't attack for a long time and had to accept the result of losing to Lecce 1-2 at home.

After the game, Prandelli was very angry and focused on criticizing Osvaldo's poor performance.

This made the latter very wronged. After all, with the joining of Gilardino this season, he had almost no record of appearances when he originally competed with Pazzini. He believes that the failure of this game should not be borne by him .

Finally, the day after the game, Fiorentina officially announced that Osvaldo had accepted Bologna's contract, and the club agreed to transfer news of the player's departure for 700 million euros.

In this way, with the end of the first game after the winter break and Mutu's accidental injury, the Fiorentina first team has no suitable forwards except Gilardino...

Under the headache, during this week's training, Prandelli could only ask the Montenegrin boy Jovetic to practice urgently, trying to let him make up for the vacancy left by Mutu's injury.

But this season, Jovetic, who has gradually turned to an offensive midfielder, has struggled a bit on the front line, and has been unable to play a tacit understanding with Gilardino for a long time.

Immediately afterwards, Fiorentina will usher in consecutive tough battles. They will challenge Milan in an away game a week later and Juventus in an away game on January 25th...

In this way, even after a week of training, the atmosphere in the team was not very enthusiastic. The players seemed to be influenced by the head coach, and their brows were furrowed.

Coach Prandelli is also under a lot of pressure at present, because the team performed poorly in the Champions League and was eliminated early, so they can only participate in the UEFA Cup in February.If the team hadn't ushered in a wave of consecutive victories in Serie A, the fans would have already demonstrated and asked him to dismiss get out of class!
In fact, this is already a very good result for the Fiorentina team, which was reborn from the brink of bankruptcy a few seasons ago, but who will let the fans never satisfy the requirements of the team.

Therefore, under tremendous pressure, Prandelli even complained privately that he wanted to leave the team after the season.

These also made Mu Jianfeng feel a little depressed, but he was powerless to change anything in the team, so he could only continue to train without worrying about it.

As a result, before the visiting team game against Milan, his joy of being included in the squad by coach Prandelli also decreased a lot.
