The Era of Emerald

() While Zhuang Minge and Van Prager were talking in the VIP box, Fiorentina and Ajax players were all gathered in the locker room, and the coaches of both sides were making the final pre-match mobilization:

"Boys, our opponent in this game is Ajax. Although they lost nearly half of their main players for some reasons this summer, we can't underestimate this game just because the opponent's strength has declined. In fact, let Let's take a look at the current Ajax team, Van der Sar, Blind, the De Boer brothers, Litmanning, plus the familiar Corini and Gianni Keida, they are still a team. A very good team, so we must not take this game lightly!"

Hearing Ranieri's analysis, the Fiorentina players couldn't help putting away their relaxed attitudes. Although the head coach who always looked sad often made some conservative mistakes, as a traditional Italian coach, His pre-match preparation and analysis are indeed worthy of every player's attention.

In addition, Ranieri has indeed led the team to win many honors in the past two years, which also played a very good role in establishing his prestige in the locker room. At least no player in the Fiorentina team dared to refute his opinions openly.

Now that Ranieri has told them not to underestimate Ajax, the players will naturally have to be more vigilant. If Fiorentina with a full lineup can't even take down a semi-disabled Ajax, it will be a big surprise. Sometimes it is the whole team that is embarrassing. Such things as defeating the strong by the weak are enough to become the talk of European football for many years.

Think about the Greek myth in 04, but after nearly ten years, that game is still often mentioned.

Fiorentina players don't want to be nailed to such a pillar of shame at all.

"Van Gaal's main formation last season was three-four-three, but due to the departure of Kluivert, Kanu, Infinity George and others, Ajax's offensive players in the frontcourt have been seriously insufficient, so from before Judging from the last few warm-up matches, Van Gaal removed a midfielder and added a defender to the defense, changing to a four-three-three formation in order to strengthen the team's defense without sacrificing offense. "

"Among the three players in Ajax's midfield, due to Rijkaard's retirement and the departure of the other two (Raieri can't directly say Davis's name, after all, he is his own player now), only The remaining main midfielder, Ronald de Boer, is better at breaking through and cooperating with his teammates than controlling the rhythm. In fact, Eugenio (Collini) who was loaned from us has become their team this season. The core of the playmaker. I think many people here should be familiar with his playing style, relying on constant passing to organize the offense of the entire team, rarely using breakthroughs, far she and direct threats to the goal are not great, But beware of his set-pieces, for him, we have to focus on defense. Massimo (Kripa), your main task in this game is to stare at him, interfere with his ball, and don't let him calmly organize Attacking, as long as we can keep him under control, we can dominate in midfield."

Kripa nodded, he knew what he was good at.

"However, you have to be careful about your movements too much. Corini's playing style is very steady and careful. It is difficult for him to lose his balance with normal fouls. It is enough to defend closely or cut off the pass passed to him by others. There is no need. Before the half-time, the referee drew a red card and sent you off the pitch." Ranieri warned again worriedly.

"Boss, don't worry. You also know Massimo's defensive ability. It's no problem for him to deal with Paul Sosa. Can that old boy Corini be better than that Portuguese?" Vice-captain Ai Feinberg's light words broke the original solemn atmosphere in the locker room.

Ranieri looked at his main midfielder angrily, and said: "Okay, Stefan, I will give you a task today. If Ajax scored a goal in this game today, every I will ask the boss to deduct one month's salary if you enter one, how about that?"

"Don't worry, boss! Make sure to complete the task!" Effenberg said pretending to be serious, and gave a military salute to Ranieri in a decent manner, "Hey! Did you hear that, this game is about me If they get zero seals, I will invite you to the best restaurant in Monaco for dinner after the game!"

"Oh!" The aura of everyone in the locker room was aroused by Effenberg, although many people thought that the vice-captain was finally willing to treat him, and he must perform well this time, and he will be poor after the game... …

"Behind Colini is Gianni Keida, who is responsible for mopping up Colini while also protecting the defense. His task determines that he cannot play his offensive ability in the game. Ajax's three former players The forwards are the Finn Litmanning and their local striker Overmars and Michel Laudrup who has been transferred by you this summer. Overmars should be familiar to you, he is very fast , the Champions League final last season made Milan's golden defense suffer, so be careful not to give him too much sprint space during the game; as for another striker Litmanning, his impact Strength and strength are far inferior to Kluivert. He uses his technical and organizational skills to create opportunities for his teammates and wait for the opportunity to score goals. Although he is Finnish, his physical confrontation ability is insufficient. Therefore, the best way to deal with him is to constantly disturb him with physical collisions and not give him room to maneuver; as for Laudrup, he is now 30 years old, and naturally he cannot be as energetic as he was when he was young. It's about organizing the team based on your own experience, and you can deal with him the way you deal with Litmanning."

"In terms of attack, I think we may have more trouble, Frank de Boer is very good in the front and has a good long ball, so, Gabriel, we need you to press He; and the other central defender is also their captain, Blind, who has rich experience, but he is a bit too old after all, Ronaldo, this was your opponent last season, I believe you can deal with him; as for the two Ajax players The full-back, Van Bronckhorst, who was transferred from Feyenoord, is quite stable. It is difficult for us to find a breakthrough from him, but Bogard on the right is only a temporary cameo. He is tall when he defends on the wing It will appear quite clumsy, which can be exploited, so Yuri, you can think about attacking from the left when you break through later.”

After Ranieri carefully explained the basic situation of Ajax players to the players, he made the final pre-war mobilization: "Now, boys, let's go and win the first place in the history of Fiorentina. A UEFA Super Cup winner!"

"Oh!" Encouraged by Ranieri, a large group of Fiorentina players walked out of the door of the locker room enthusiastically. What greeted them was a highly anticipated game!
