The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Saturday, 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.

Now let me introduce the starting lineups of the two sides of the game tonight.For Fiorentina, because Mancini had uttered nonsense in the press conference after the first round, Mourinho and the Fiorentina players were full of fighting spirit for the second round of the contest with Lazio, and they were determined to fight. Give a smug Mancini a good look at the Stade Frankie.Let this guy who shines with some sunshine know that Florence is not a team he can arrange at will, and the consequences of angering Viola are absolutely unbearable for him!

The position of the starting goalkeeper naturally belongs to Buffon. Although Mourinho has decided to ensure the league championship as the top priority at this time, it does not mean that he will choose to give up this crucial battle directly.After all, since the team has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, and the players have not suffered from any injuries, plus Fiorentina's opponents in the next few rounds of the league are either mid-range teams that have no desires or desires, or are already determined to be relegated If there is a belly, then Mourinho will fight with the main players in this game, and it is not a bad idea to give Lazio and Mancini a little color.

As for the full-backs, in order to defend Ronaldinho and Giuly, the highly threatening pair of magical wings, Mourinho decisively chose Chivu and Zambrotta, while Carlos, whose physical fitness was much lower than his peak, was sitting on the sidelines. on the bench.The starting central defenders are still dominated by Nesta and Lucio. Neither Gamberini nor Thiago Silva have the strength to compete with them for the starting position at this time.

In the midfield, Mourinho sent Makelele, Pirlo and Ballack, the strongest overall combination.They are good at attacking and defending and have rich game experience. They are enough to deal with most situations on the court, and they are also the most powerful part of Florence at present.

On the forward line, Diego Milito is in the center, and Vincent and Ronaldo, two post-[-]s players, are separated from the left and the right. This set of offensive tridents that have proven to be powerful this season is enough for Lazio. That line of defense that hasn't finished its metabolism has caused countless troubles!

On Lazio's side, Mancini, who is determined to use a Champions League champion to completely secure the position of Lazio's head coach, is also doing his best.Cech, Maxwell, Favalli, Mex, Pancaro, Davis, Deco, Stankovic, Ronaldinho, Giuly and Drogba, this is Lazio's starting 11 for this game!

Compared with the beginning of the season, after more than half a year of adaptation and running-in, several new aids introduced by Lazio last summer have successfully become members of the main lineup, making the Blue Eagles, whose strength has greatly increased, a blockbuster this season , All the way to the semi-finals of the Champions League.Tonight, they won at home, under the leadership of head coach Mancini, they will start a fierce battle with Fiorentina to keep a ticket to the Champions League final!

After the start of the game, Lazio chose to focus on defending and counterattacking as Mourinho expected.Except for Ronaldinho and Jiuli, all other players retreated to their own half to participate in the defense, and their intentions are naturally self-evident.

"What a stupid choice." Since he had a prejudice against Mancini in his heart in advance, Mourinho naturally had a sneer at many of Mancho's choices in formation, "Indeed, in In the case of winning the first leg, it is a good idea to choose a defensive counterattack. But Mancini seems to have forgotten the important point, that is, Deco is never a good point of attack in counterattacks!"

Mourinho's words are indeed true. Deco's advantage is that he has a good overall view, passes the ball steadily and works hard, and is willing to obey any arrangement of the head coach. It makes his passing not as full of aura as midfielders such as Pirlo and Costa. While reducing unnecessary mistakes, it also wastes a lot of precious time.And this leads to Lazio often needing more time to advance to the opponent's half in the counterattack, thus giving the opponent the opportunity to make up for it and rearrange the defense line.

As for the other two in Lazio's midfield, Stankovic has always been considered a Nedved-style player. It is natural to see that his strengths lie in running and long shots. Passing, especially long passes in counterattacks is not his forte.In his prime, Davis had the ability to kick the ball quickly, but at 32 years old, he is no longer the Dutch wild boar who can run all over the field.When Mancini needs him to contribute more on the defensive end, Davis, who has limited energy, will naturally not pay much attention to the offense.

If Ronaldinho was withdrawn, it would be fine to let the Brazilian elf take on the work of hitting the ball in the counterattack, but in this way, only Jiuli was left with the Blue Eagles in the counterattack.Whether he can grab the ball in the siege of Nesta, Lucio and others is really unpredictable.

Let Giuly single out Fiorentina's entire defense and Buffon, the world's number one goalkeeper, Mourinho doesn't think the French have this ability.If Giuly has this strength, then he will not be compressed by rising stars such as Ronaldo and Ribery, leaving Fiorentina for a main position.

In summary, Mourinho does not think that Lazio's counterattack can create enough threats.In other words, when they pass the ball across the half, it is estimated that Fiorentina will have already set up their defense by then...

Therefore, under the deliberate arrangement of the two coaches, Mancini and Mourinho, the battle first started in Lazio's half.Under the command of Pirlo, the Fiorentina players played steadily and steadily, pulling the blue eagle's defense line through continuous passing and cross-positioning, thus creating opportunities to kick the goal.The Lazio players tensed up and guarded the 30-meter area in front of the goal, preparing to make a quick counterattack after intercepting the opponent's pass to teach Fiorentina how to be a man!

However, it seems that the goddess of luck did not favor the Blue Eagles today, and Lazio's plan was hit hard before it could be implemented.Only 5 minutes into the game, Ballack took a long-range shot 30 meters in front of the goal, which was not very threatening. After being touched by Mex, he changed his line, hit the right post and bounced into the goal!

One to zero!Only 5 minutes into the game, Fiorentina relied on a goal full of luck to win back the city, and saw a glimmer of hope to advance to the final!
