The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Friday, a little late. I hope that 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.

In the first round of the semi-finals, they were defeated by Lazio [-]-[-]. This result cast a shadow over Fiorentina's promotion.

After all, although Mancini's coaching ability and level of fighting tough battles have always been criticized, the strength of this Lazio team is really good.With Abramovich's open pockets regardless of cost, Lazio has already become the first-class configuration in Europe from the main lineup to the bench. Even Fiorentina's bench depth is not as good as the Blue Eagles at this time. .Therefore, it can be said that it is quite difficult for Mourinho to stage a reversal in the second round and eliminate Lazio in the semi-finals.

You must know that although Mancini has no talent in training the team's offense, most of the time he relies on the individual performance of the star and a flash of inspiration to solve the problem, but on the defensive end, the former Italy international is very good. Handy.Among other things, before Abramovich took over, Mancini was able to knead the aging defense line after losing Grandoni into a whole, and relied on this line of defense to almost qualify for the Champions League. It is enough to reflect the young coach's ability and talent in defense.

Therefore, facing a Lazio that is almost destined to focus on defensive counterattack tactics in the second round of the game, most people are not optimistic that Fiorentina can use offense to settle the Blue Eagles, and it is still under the premise of not being scored by the opponent.

However, before that, Mourinho and Fiorentina players must first solve a strong enemy and ensure their point advantage in the league battlefield before they have time to consider how to deal with Lazio.

On May 5st, in the No.1 round of Serie A, Fiorentina, who returned to the Frankie Stadium, ushered in the challenge of AC Milan.

For Fiorentina, the direct confrontation with AC Milan is also crucial, because the outcome of the game will largely determine the trend of the league title battle between Fiorentina and Juventus.If Fiorentina wins the game, then their hopes of winning the Serie A championship with a lead of No.2 in four rounds by five points will further increase; and if Fiorentina is tied by the Rossoneri or even loses at home, then Juventus may take the opportunity to shrink The gap, and the horn of counterattack was sounded again.

Mourinho dare not pin his hopes on Bologna (Juventus' opponents in this round of the league), hoping that they can give the Bianconeri a good look at the Alpi Stadium.Asking for others is better than asking for oneself, and no one can put hope on the opponent's active mistakes.

Therefore, instead of waiting for Juventus to take the initiative to make mistakes and lose points in the league, it is better to take the initiative to win the next four rounds of the league and lock the championship trophy in advance to be safe.

As a result, Fiorentina, who was the main force, and AC Milan, who planned to add some obstacles to Viola's championship road, fought in Frankie Stadium.Players from both sides played brilliantly on the field, and frequently fell to the ground during physical confrontation and ball scrimmage, forcing Rossetti to blow his whistle frequently to interrupt the game, using this method to calm the players down. Avoid worse incidents.

It stands to reason that AC Milan, which also needs to prepare for the semi-finals of the Champions League, should not be in the league with Fiorentina at this time.Because the Rossoneri has now basically secured the third position in the league. It is a team that has no hope of winning the championship but can ensure the qualification for the Champions League next season. There is absolutely no need to work so hard in this irrelevant game.

However, at this time, the personal wishes of AC Milan coach Ancelotti played a decisive role.The coach, who has had a lot of entanglements with Fiorentina in his coaching career, wants to mess up the league championship trophy that the opponent is very likely to get. At least he must cause enough trouble for Viola during the game, consume their energy, and let them have no chance. Enough energy to cope with the second round against Lazio three days later, creating a chance for the Blue Eagles to advance to the Champions League final.

Of course, Ancelotti did this not because he had a heart attack and wanted to help Lazio, but because compared to Fiorentina, Lazio, who is inexperienced in European competitions and also has many veterans, is what An Fat wants most in the Champions League final. opponents encountered.

Although AC Milan's tenacious resistance has brought some troubles to Fiorentina, compared with the Fiorentina players who chose to retain their strength in the Champions League match in midweek and have relatively good physical fitness and competitive state at this time, they only played against Ein three days ago. The AC Milan players, who Huo Wen fought fiercely for 10 minutes, are undoubtedly at a disadvantage in these two aspects.Moreover, with the deepening of the game and the passage of time, the Rossoneri's disadvantages in this area became more and more obvious, and they finally fell on it!

"Ancelotti is an idiot." After the team defeated AC Milan [-]-[-], Mourinho said to Ferrara with some helplessness, "why doesn't he think about it? Milan will also consume too much energy because of this game, making it difficult for them to face the challenge of PSV in the best condition."

"Maybe it's because coach Ancelotti thinks that with PSV's strength, it's hard to create many obstacles for them to advance to the final." Regarding Ancelotti's intentions, Ferrara also only I can guess like that.After all, Fatty An's trick of killing one thousand enemies and harming eight hundred is really not a wise move in his opinion.

"Hehe." Mourinho smiled and did not continue the discussion on this topic.The Portuguese knew in his heart that Hiddink's World Cup No.02 in 4 was controversial, but his coaching ability was still recognized by people.Therefore, if Ancelotti underestimates Hiddink, it is very likely that he will be unable to live in the hands of the Dutchman.

Furthermore, after the unpopular 03-04 season, if someone still looks at a game with the mentality that a strong team will definitely win, then reality will teach this guy to be a new man.

Three days after the victory over AC Milan, that is, on May 5th, the second round of the European Champions Cup semi-final between Fiorentina and Lazio started as scheduled at the Frankie Stadium!

Since the result of this game will directly determine whether Fiorentina can reach the Champions League final, Fiorentina fans will naturally express their support for the team at this critical moment.Therefore, when the players from both sides walked out of the player tunnel, Lazio was shocked to find that apart from the thousands of tickets that must be reserved for fans of the visiting team as stipulated by UEFA, the remaining more than 3 tickets seemed to be unavailable. Wrapped up by Fiorentina fans...

This action by the Fiorentina fans led to the Frankie Stadium turning into a purple ocean tonight. The Lazio fans who came with the team to watch the away game could only curl up in a corner of the stand, and the cheering sound was completely overwhelmed by the surrounding crowd. Overwhelmed by the voices of Fiorentina fans.

In this way, amid the enthusiastic cheers of more than 3 Fiorentina fans and the whistle of the referee, Fiorentina and Lazio started the second round of the Champions League semi-final!
