The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Monday, a little bit late, I hope readers don't pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise not to stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal completely changed the direction of this game, because before that, although Fiorentina had an away goal advantage, they only needed to draw a goalless draw with Liverpool in this contest to advance to the semi-finals. Anyone with a little brain knows very well that this advantage is really not an insurance against a nerve-wracking team like Liverpool.Because you don't know when this opponent will suddenly go crazy, and before you can react, the originally good situation will be messed up.

What's more, despite the fact that Fiorentina has always occupied the initiative on the court and completely suppressed Liverpool on both offensive and defensive ends, the situation of gaining power and not scoring has also invisibly increased the psychological pressure of the players.After all, if Liverpool catches a chance to score a goal without paying attention, then Fiorentina will become passive by then.

From this point of view, Ronaldo's goal can be said to be crucial for Fiorentina.With the overall score leading, Viola can have more leeway to deal with the opponent, while Liverpool, who is behind in the score, must strengthen their offense in the next time to regain the disadvantage in the score.Because if Fiorentina maintain this score until the end of the game, then the Red Army will have to bid farewell to the Champions League!

Therefore, after the referee Merck announced that the goal was valid, Fiorentina players swarmed towards the junior who had just turned [-] years old, and then threw Ronaldo high into the air under the command of Vieri!

Seeing the bewildered Ronaldo being thrown into the air again and again by the players, Mourinho, who couldn't help smiling, turned around and kicked all the players on the bench out for warm-up—after getting At the same time, with less than half an hour left before the end of the game, Mourinho felt that it was necessary for him to make substitution adjustments at this time, so that the team would have sufficient physical fitness and preparation Come to meet the dying counterattack of the Liverpool people.

At the same time, after the Portuguese teenager opened the scoring for Fiorentina, Benitez, who was planning to replace Harman to strengthen the midfield defense, had to stop the substitution adjustment urgently.After all, in the unfavorable situation where the team's total score is one goal behind, it is really unwise to put on a defensive midfielder to actively weaken the original offensive strength on his side.

The most important point is that Benitez, who had a study tour experience in Italy, believed that after Fiorentina took the lead, they would definitely choose to shrink their defense and use the opportunity of their own side to press on the offense to concentrate on playing Liverpool's counterattack.Out of this consideration, it is naturally impossible for Benitez to do stupid things to weaken his own offensive power.

"Coach, let me be in charge of the team's offense for a while." Just as Benitez was thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy, Gerrard said suddenly, "Although I have never played the position of attacking midfielder before. , but since both Nedved and Ballack were able to successfully complete the transition, there is no reason why I cannot do this!"

"Hmm...Okay. Then, the team's offense will revolve around you, Steven (Gerrard). Don't let me down." Benitez thought for a while and found that there was indeed no change. It was a good idea, and he agreed to Gerrard's request, "As for the defensive work in the midfield, I will arrange other people to take care of it. Steven, you can devote all your energy to the offensive end."

In fact, Benitez will agree to Gerrard's request and there are other considerations.You know, after Owen left the team, Gerrard is Liverpool's well-deserved number one star and the boss of the dressing room.For the sake of his own position, Benitez must have a good relationship with Gerrard, the team banner, otherwise what is waiting for him may be a dismissal notice from the top management.

However, what Benitez did not expect was that Mourinho did choose substitutions and adjustments before the game restarted.However, the Portuguese marshal did not let Fiorentina play the main defensive counterattack as he expected, but made two matchup substitutions: De Rossi replaced Ballack, who was a little weak, and Vieri Replaced by Diego Milito!

What the hell is this guy thinking?Even when the score was ahead, they didn't choose the safest defensive counterattack, but fought against us. This is unscientific!Faced with this situation, Benitez's heart can only be described as a collapse.He couldn't figure it out, Mourinho would choose to play against Liverpool at this time.

"Hehe, I knew you would think that I would let the team play a defensive counterattack after taking the lead. How about it, are you dumbfounded now?" Looking at Benitez who was stunned on the sidelines, Mourinho With a sneer in his heart, he thought quite proudly.

If you switch to a team like Juventus that is more stable and less passionate, Mourinho will definitely let the team play a defensive counterattack after taking the lead, but Mourinho will never let the team play a defensive counterattack when encountering a nerve knife like Liverpool. Put the initiative of attack in the opponent's hands.After all, once the guys from Liverpool are allowed to perform well, it will be Florence who will suffer at that time.

Adapting measures to local conditions, rather than copying the so-called common sense and experience mechanically, is one of the important criteria to reflect a head coach's coaching ability and tactical level.

As a result, Benitez, who had miscalculated, had to watch helplessly as the team's defense was torn apart by the offensive trident composed of Milito, Di Natale and Ronaldo. And in the No.703 minute, Di Natale made another victory, rewriting the score to [-]-[-]!

In this way, Fiorentina leads Liverpool three to one on aggregate.With less than 10 minutes left in the game, Violet has already crossed the threshold of the semi-finals with one foot!

After the total score became one to three, the Liverpool players began to relax after being extremely anxious.After all, at this point in the game, even if they want to stick to it, it is impossible for the team to get a ticket to the semi-finals.Therefore, instead of being aggrieved and beaten to death by the opponent, it is better to give it a go while there is still time in the game, and maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

After letting go of this big burden in their hearts, the performance of Liverpool players has gradually improved. They are no longer blindly passively beaten or looking forward and backward. It is very stylish and creates a certain threat.

It would have been great if these boys had played this early, they would not be able to perform at a normal level until this time.Looking at the players on the field, Benitez couldn't help but secretly sighed while being relieved.He now also feels that leading a team like Liverpool is really a test of the heart's endurance.
