还有片非常长的前瞻,宿舍马上要断网了,来不及翻译了。
我把佛罗伦萨的部分摘出来。
Tough Times For Fiorentina
Cesare Prandelli’s Fiorentina are going through a rough period. Although they are still in fourth place, lately their football has lacked the confidence and consistency we are used to seeing from the Viola. This negative period culminated last weekend in perhaps their worst performance of the season against Palermo, who won 2-0 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. It was only their second home defeat of the season, after the one against Lecce in January.
It’s hard to say why they are having problems. Their list of injured players is not that huge, alhough perhaps the decision to let go of a strong young striker like Giampaolo Pazzini, who has been doing very well since joining Sampdoria in January, was not a very smart idea. The team relies heavily on the potentially devastating attacking duo of Alberto Gilardino and Adrian Mutu, but both have had their ups and downs this season, and when they are not at their best, the team struggles to find other ways to score.
Recently Prandelli has also expressed his discontent with the excessive criticism by the Florence press, which came down hard on the club after their elimination at the hands of Ajax in the UEFA Cup. Fiorentina were particularly unlucky in those matches against the Dutch giants, as in both legs they showed an evident superiority, but they were unlucky in their finishing (as has been the case for many Italian sides in Europe this season).
A period of bad luck or poor form should not be enough to diminish Fiorentina’s achievements over the past few years. They have been one of the few sides who have consistently managed to challenge for a Champions League spot, but due to various consequences of the Calciopoli scandals, they were only able to take part in the tournament this season.
They will certainly relish the opportunity to participate in the tournament again and build on their performance of this season, which certainly wasn’t a complete failure, as they finished third in a group containing Bayern Munich and Olympique Lyon, champions of Germany and France, respectively. The race to finish fourth in Serie A this season will probably be more interesting than the Scudetto race, as Genoa and Roma are hot on Fiorentina’s heels, both just one point below the Viola.
Their recent tradition against Inter hasn’t been too good, although this season they managed to end a string of four successive league defeats by them with a scoreless draw in Florence. With Genoa travelling to Cagliari and Roma to Genoa to face Sampdoria, all teams aiming for the Champions League have tough matches this weekend, but Fiorentina play on Sunday night so by then they will know what they have to do to maintain fourth place in the table. |
