PS3: Here I would like to thank the book friend "Tianyuan Hanqi" for the reward.

Since Fiorentina and Villarreal drew [-]-[-] in the first round of confrontation, in this game, whether it was Pellegrini or Mourinho when they lined up Acted extremely cautiously.After all, in the case of a tie in the first round, no matter which side scores first in this game, it will gain a great advantage in the following time.Therefore, it has become the consensus of the coaches of both sides to tighten the fence and guard their own goal, and then consider the issue of offense.

However, for Villarreal, it is still quite difficult for the weak yellow submarine to engage in some intrigue on the starting list.Because of limited financial resources and a lack of team background, they can't compare with the top giants like Fiorentina in terms of lineup depth.To be honest, when the team's main central defender Gonzalo Rodriguez was reimbursed for the season due to a knee injury, it was a big surprise that the Bolivian veteran Pena was able to step up in time. The set configuration has higher requirements.

Therefore, if Pellegrini dares not to send all the main players in this game, Mourinho will be the first to laugh out loud.After all, apart from these main players, Pellegrini basically has no good cards to use.

Is it Figueroa, once known as the new hope of the Argentine striker?Or former Spanish U21 team members Guayre and Fonte?These players may be able to show up occasionally in a few games, but let them start the game, Pellegrini may not dare to arrange it like this...

Goalkeeper Barbosa, the back line from left to right is Alubarena, Pena, Quique Alvarez and Venta, Senna and Tacchinardi form a double midfielder, and the left midfielder is Juan Sorin, with Romain Riquelme in the middle to direct the overall situation, Jose Mari freely switches between the positions of center forward and right winger, responsible for creating space for his strike partner Diego Forlán and Riquelme behind him .

After talking about Villarreal's playing list, let's take a look at Fiorentina.After the confrontation and trials in the last game, after having a clearer understanding of Riquelme and the strengths and weaknesses of this Villarreal team, Mourinho made some fine-tuning of the starting lineup.

Goalkeeper Buffon, Chivu, Lucio, Nesta and Zambrotta lined up in the defense, the iron triangle formed by Makelele, Ballack and Pirlo continued to start in the midfield, and the striker trident It became a combination of Vincent, Jorgensen and Diego Milito.

Arranging Jorgensen, a veteran over [-] years old, to start the game instead of letting Ronaldo, who has gradually established himself as the main right winger, enter the starting list. Although it is somewhat unexpected, Mourinho also has his own. of consideration.Indeed, after several seasons of training, Ronaldo has grown very rapidly and has become a football star of tomorrow, but in general, the current Ronaldo is still a bit young and vigorous. Some old fritters occasionally show a tendency to be impatient and aggressive.Therefore, Mourinho replaced Ronaldo's starting position with Jorgensen, who has more experience and excellent skills and overall outlook, in order to make the front trident an organic whole. Instead of three idiots who are separated by opponents and only know how to fight alone in the frontcourt.

Although he is already a veteran who is about to turn 31 years old, and his physical fitness has declined a lot compared to when he was young, but after the Laudrup brothers retired, he was able to suppress the peak players such as Romedal and Glenshall. The core midfielder of the national team even aroused the interest of Real Madrid before the serious injury. Jorgensen relied not only on technology and speed.Years of experience as the midfielder commander of the Danish national team has cultivated Jorgensen, who is already quite comprehensive, with a good sense of teamwork. This is why Mourinho chose him instead of Ribery or Di Natale the main reason.

It has to be said that Ronaldo's football talent, football quotient and his hard work are all outstanding among professional players.After being excluded from the starting list of this game by Mourinho, Ronaldo's first reaction was not to go to the head coach to reason, nor was he frustrated or even self-pity on the bench, but seriously recalled his From the various performances in the first round, I tried to find out my shortcomings and improve them.

Just as Ronaldo was pondering the intention of Mourinho's move, trying to draw nutrients that would allow him to grow further, Pirlo on the field was also thinking about how to deal with the ugly man wearing the No. 19 jersey. Brazilian midfielder.

In the 05-06 season, Senna is at the peak of his personal career. The success rate of one-on-one confrontation, the average number of passes per game and the success rate of passes are among the top three among La Liga players this season, and the average The turnovers were also controlled by him at a very low level.Therefore, when these data were unearthed by the media and made public, Senna, who was originally unknown, quickly attracted people's attention and regarded him as Villarreal's defensive gate!

If someone says that these are just Senna's personal data, maybe this Brazilian is just a stat brush, which can't reflect his true value on the defensive end, then everyone who has watched Villarreal's games this season, At least those who played against Juventus and Fiorentina in the Champions League can see that Senna has completely become the most reliable gate for Villarreal in these games.If it weren't for his interception and protection in the midfield, the yellow submarine would probably be sunk by the opponent on the bottom of the sea before it could surface.

However, when the game started, Senna was surprised to find that Fiorentina's offense in this game became more cunning and flexible.Milito, Vincent and Jorgensen constantly crossed positions and ran without the ball in the counterattack, coupled with Ballack, Pirlo and others who inserted the attack just right, so that Senna and Tacchinardi's double The midfielder group was in a hurry, and the alarm in front of the door sounded frequently.

At this time, the role of Jorgensen is reflected.With his connection and organization in the frontcourt, Pirlo can safely choose to give the ball to the Dane when instigating a counterattack, allowing him and Milito to become the fulcrum of Florence's frontcourt when counterattacking.In this way, Ballack and Pirlo can more calmly plug in to form the second echelon in the counterattack. They don't have to run between the two penalty areas in order to ensure the quality of both offense and defense as in the previous game.

It seems that today's Fiorentina team may be even more difficult to deal with than the last game.Senna thought to himself after another timely defense that destroyed Jorgensen's pass to Milito.
