The Era of Emerald

() Ranieri here is worrying about how to use three strikers to cope with the devil's schedule in November, and Madrid, 1280 kilometers away from Florence, also has a head coach worrying about tomorrow's game.

For Real Madrid coach Valdano, he has only one goal in coaching Real Madrid this season, and that is to continue to lead the team to a heavyweight championship-breaking Barcelona's four-year blockade last season and winning the La Liga championship made this The Argentine star has secured his position on the coaching bench of Real Madrid. Having introduced many players this season, he naturally hopes to lead Real Madrid to a higher level, complete two consecutive La Liga titles or lead the team to regain the lost nearly 30 years. Champions Cup winner.

But from the beginning of the season, the competitive state of Real Madrid players was very wrong. First, they were humiliated by Deportivo with a total score of [-] to [-] in the Spanish Super Cup before the start of the season ([-] to [-] away, [-] to [-] at home) , Lost the first crown that could be won this season.

The big defeat in the Spanish Super Cup caused Real Madrid to suffer a serious blow at the beginning of the season. After all, under the operation of head coach Valdano for a summer, Real Madrid cleaned up many veterans during the transfer period. While the team's vitality reduces the average age, it naturally brings shortcomings such as inexperience and players' state fluctuations. The fiasco in the Super Bowl obviously hit the self-confidence of these young boys.

At the same time, after last season's main attacking midfielder Michel Laudrup left the team, although Valdano promoted the young midfielder Guti from the b team and invested a lot of money to buy Petkovi Judging from the flow of players, Real Madrid's operation should be able to make up for the vacancy left by Laudrup, but in fact, the loss of the Danish superstar to Real Madrid is almost nothing. It can be compared with Figo's departure from Barcelona later!

Under the multiple effects of these unfavorable factors, as the defending champion of La Liga, Real Madrid only achieved one win, two draws and three losses after the opening six rounds of the league. Among them, there were even home losses to Oviedo and Athletic Bilbao. The "feat".

In the Champions League, Real Madrid's performance can only be described as mediocre or even bad. In the first round, Real Madrid beat Steaua Bucharest [-]-[-] away. Although they scored a little less, they still successfully won the Champions League. Good start.

However, Real Madrid's performance was not so good. In the second round of the group match, the white knights were knocked to the ground by a group of strong men from Scotland. Real Madrid lost [-]-[-] at home.

The next step is of course the away draw against Fiorentina mentioned earlier. Real Madrid fans said that they can accept the result of this game. After all, La Liga teams have always been in a weak position when facing Italian teams with similar styles. A year ago, Milan sent Barcelona a [-]-[-] with a broken team in the Champions League final, which is proof.

And such a poor result has obviously shaken the position of head coach Valdano. The fans are forgetful. They don't care whether he was the hero who overthrew Barcelona's rule last season. Their logic is generally very simple. It is the head coach's fault that he failed to achieve corresponding results after introducing many new players.

As a result, calls for Valdano's dismissal began to appear among Real Madrid fans, and gradually there was a large market. Real Madrid executives also put pressure on Valdano at this time. The newly appointed chairman Sanz did not want his term Seen such a bad situation in the first year in the country.

Under the tremendous pressure, the Argentine coach didn't even go home. He squatted on the sidelines of the training field and trained the players fiercely every day, trying to improve the team's state.

Valdano’s efforts have achieved some results. Before the second round of the group match against Fiorentina, Real Madrid’s state has finally recovered, with four wins, three draws and three losses. The defeat made the Real Madrid fans seem to see the team's hope of chasing the next championship trophy in the following games, so they let go of their head coach a little bit.

The fans stopped, but Valdano didn't dare to relax. You must know that less than a month ago, these fans were wandering around the club's training base every day and shouting that they were dismissed. The well-done Argentine spent several nights hiding in his office watching Fiorentina's videotape after the tenth round of the league against Albacete, trying to find out the opponent's weaknesses.

After all, after the third round of the European Champions Cup group stage, Real Madrid ranked third in the group with only one win, one draw and one loss. In the match against Fiorentina, their best result after the fourth round is to face the situation that they are still one point behind No. Situation (both Fiorentina and Rangers win).

For Real Madrid, who still need to grab points in the league, they can't waste too much energy in the European competition. Therefore, this game against Fiorentina must be won!

For Ranieri, the fourth round match against Real Madrid must also be won. After all, once they lose or only get a draw, Fiorentina will be quite passive in the subsequent games. A poor and weak Romanian team can stop the Scots. Miracles do happen in this world, but they will only favor those who are prepared. The Romanians who have no faith obviously do not Will be favored by the goddess of luck.

So once this game loses, Fiorentina will fall to the third position in the group (with the same points as Real Madrid and a disadvantage in the mutual record), which means that Fiorentina must do their best in the next two rounds of the group stage , This situation is something that the Fiorentines, who are short on strikers, do not want to see. Both Ranieri and Zhuang Minge hope that the team can win this game and lock in a group qualifying spot in advance, so as to reserve their energy for the upcoming devil's schedule. After all, if they qualify early in the Champions League, they will strategically release water in the Champions League and Coppa Italia, and Florence's staffing can still cope with these fierce battles.

Therefore, in this game, Florence can't afford to lose either!

Under the circumstances that neither side can afford to lose, the battle between Fiorentina and Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on November 11 will be extremely exciting!
