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.

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

On May 5, the Stade de France was full of seats, and the atmosphere in the stadium was extremely lively.The fans of Lazio and Fiorentina sang their official and folk songs in an organized manner, forming a unique landscape in the stands.And those fans who did not buy tickets, although their hearts were full of regret, did not affect their interest in watching the game.At this time, they also gathered in front of the TV to cheer for the teams they supported!

At the same time, players from both sides have followed the referee team out of the player channel. Nesta and Cech are tossing coins at the referee to determine their respective offensive directions and the right to take the lead in the first half of the game.

Now here are the starting lineups of the two teams for this game.On Lazio's side, although the Blue Eagles fought against Parma for 10 minutes at home to secure a Champions League ticket for next season four days ago, Lippi had to ignore the ball because the Champions League final was also of great importance. The reality that the team was extremely exhausted after a fierce battle made a decision to let the main players play consecutively.

The goalkeeper is Peter Cech. After joining Lazio, the Czech goalkeeper quickly won people's recognition with his excellent goalkeeping skills and steady performance. Now he is recognized by the media and fans as the most promising impact on Buffon's world The goalkeeper of the throne of the first door god.On the defense line, the four starting defenders from left to right are Maxwell, Dainelli, Mex and Odo.Although apart from Mex, the other three players on Lazio's defense line are not very well-known, but these players are all powerful players in Serie A. It is easy to suffer big losses if you underestimate them.Especially this season, under the guidance of the famous Marshal Lippi, Lazio has finally built a defensive system, which has greatly improved the quality of the Blue Eagles' defense. It is no longer like Mancini's period. Rely on blindly piling up the number of defensive players in the backcourt to strengthen the defense.

In terms of midfield, as Dutch veteran Edgar Davis began to retreat to the second line this season due to his age, Ghana "Buffalo" Essien transferred from Lyon to Lazio for a sky-high price of 500 million euros last summer. Began to become the new midfield iron gate of the Blue Eagles.In front of Essien is the combination of Stankovic and Deco. Both of them are Lippi's favorite hard-working players. They are not only diligent in running but also hardworking. They are willing to complete everything assigned by the head coach. Tasks, but also very good at organizing and scheduling.Therefore, when Silver Fox took over the stand left by Mancini and picked up Lazio's coach, they immediately established the two as the core of the team's midfield.

On the forward line, the Brazilian king Ronaldinho is on the left, the Dutch flying man Robben is on the right, and the monster Didier Drogba from Côte d'Ivoire is in the middle.This offensive combination is top-notch in terms of creativity, counterattack ability and attacking ability. The only thing that makes Lippi dissatisfied is that the two players, Ronaldinho and Robben, don't like to play back in the game. Withdrawing the defense, the defensive enthusiasm is quite average. On the field, there are often situations where the opponent directly attacks his own defense line from the side.Of course, Robben's sticky ball attribute is another headache for Lippi, but compared with the poor defensive attitude of the two, this deficiency can still be tolerated by Silver Fox.

To be honest, if Ronaldinho and Robben's offensive talents are not so heaven-defying, they often stage scenes of riding the savior alone, and there is a center Drogba with a great defensive range to wipe their buttocks. It is very likely that Pi will repeat the story of how he treated Roberto Baggio in Lazio, kicking the two directly out of Formello (Lazio training base).

After talking about Lazio's starting lineup, let's take a look at Mourinho's formation in this Champions League final.Since almost all the main players were hidden in the final game of the league four days ago, Mourinho has much more room for adjustment than Lippi in this game.

Goalkeeper Buffon, Chivu, Lucio, Nesta and Zambrotta lined up in the defense, Makelele, Pirlo and Ballack form the iron triangle in the midfield, and the striker trident is Wen A combination of Sente, Diego Milito and Ronaldo.Obviously, Mourinho intends to use this strongest lineup to deal with Lazio, who is showing some signs of exhaustion, so as to win the first Champions League championship of his coaching career!

Although he was very eager to win the big ear cup in front of him, Mourinho did not rush for success because of this, and ordered the team to launch a fierce attack after the opening.Under the influence of old Robson, Capello and Heynckes who believe in "practical first" for many years, Mourinho has already developed a rigorous and pragmatic style.Coupled with the tempering and growth gained during the two years as the head coach of Fiorentina's first team, the Portuguese has made rapid progress in mentality. No matter how huge the temptation is in front of him, he will focus on the overall situation instead of thinking that his own advantage Get carried away when you get too big.

Therefore, at the last team meeting before the start of the game, Mourinho, out of prudent considerations, once again emphasized to the players his tactical arrangement in this game: "Everyone must remember that after the start of the game, We must play steadily, and we must not be eager for success or eager for meritorious service. As long as we maintain a balance of scores with our opponents, the longer the game is delayed, the better the situation on the court will be for us!"

Although the ears of almost all Fiorentina players have been worn out by the rhetoric that Mourinho has played countless times, and he has memorized all his arrangements for the game, none of them People come out and complain about the Portuguese nagging.After all, even though they didn't say anything, the players still sympathized with their head coach's mood at this time, so naturally they wouldn't say something that would spoil the atmosphere at this time.

Therefore, after the start of the game, Fiorentina, who won the right to take the lead in the pre-match coin guessing session, did not rush to attack Lazio's goal. Instead, under the organization of Pirlo and Ballack, they kept passing the ball step by step And running to bypass the press and interception of the Lazio players, and steadily pressed towards the Blue Eagles' half!

Seeing that Fiorentina performed so steadily after the opening, Lippi's face could not help but become dignified.The Silver Fox is clearly aware that Fiorentina, or Mourinho, has seized one of the biggest weaknesses of the current Lazio team!
