The Era of Emerald

()ps: This is the update recommended by 53000, and the next update will be after the recommendation of 56000. Well, that's it.

After achieving three consecutive victories in the league, Fiorentina had to temporarily look away from the league, because in three days, Viola will usher in the first UEFA Champions League group match of the new season, and the Fiorentina players will once again Facing a familiar opponent-the Glasgow Rangers, the overlord of the Soviet Super League.

It is familiar, mainly because Fiorentina met Rangers in the UEFA Champions League group stage last season. In those two matches, Fiorentina won [-] win and [-] loss against the Sucha overlord in two rounds at home and away. (Away [-] to [-], home [-] to [-]), from the surface it seems that the two teams are indeed evenly matched.

However, considering that Fiorentina had already locked the top spot in the group before the last game, it is generally believed that Viola's loss to the Rangers was suspected of releasing water, and the loss was actually to retaliate against the team. The other team in the group is Real Madrid, so the result of that game doesn't really mean anything.

On the contrary, the first match between the two teams in Glasgow was more convincing. At that time, Fiorentina, who played the main force at the time, just scored four goals in the Rangers' home court without conceding a goal, allowing Gascoigne and Laudru Jr. The vagabonds of Pu's famous general almost became homeless "vagrants" that day.

Therefore, a year later, Fiorentina once again went away to challenge the Rangers. Everyone, including the gaming company, believed that Fiorentina would win the game without a problem.Well-known European bookmakers such as William Hill didn't even offer a handicap for this game. In their view, the result of this game is already doomed, and what needs to be cared about is just how many goals Florence will win against the opponent.

Although Ranieri, the coach who led Fiorentina to win the treble before, has switched to Real Madrid, but does anyone think Capello will be careless in such a situation?joke!

The only ones who can defeat Capello at this time are his own people, and the illusory luck that repeatedly jumps out to gain a sense of presence.

Even the Rangers players are not optimistic about the prospects of this game. In their opinion, this time the team will be drawn into a group with Fiorentina, Bayern Munich and Gothenburg in the group draw, and they want to kill like last season. It is obviously unrealistic to enter the rematch. After all, only the six group firsts and the two best-performing group second are eligible to enter the rematch this season. Under the combined pressure of Fiorentina and Bayern Munich, Rangers may only I can expect to seek a breakthrough in the UEFA Cup after the group stage is over.

On September 25th, Zhuang Mingge and the team appeared at the Ibrox Stadium together. Looking at the Rangers players who were warming up on the field, he sighed: "Time really makes people old. The current team Compared with the Rangers team a year ago, although the lineup has not changed much, the strength of the team has begun to decline."

"Tony, what do you say?" Karin, who is not a time traveler and has no ability to see the future, is naturally puzzled by Zhuang Mingge's words. After all, the lineup of the Rangers still looks very strong. The reason why Florence was able to win easily last year is because Mainly because the technical and tactical thinking is more advanced, and there is a gap in the overall strength of the team.

"Hehe, the secret must not be leaked, you will know after the game starts." Zhuang Mingge said with a smile.

"Tch, you're really stingy." Karin curled her lips pretending to be disdainful, but her heart was full of curiosity.

Although Zhuang Mingge's emotion could not be heard, after the start of the game, many players on the Fiorentina field found that their opponent seemed to have regressed a lot compared to a year ago.

Gascoigne, who led the England national team to shine in this year's European Cup, seems to be fatter than before after a summer break. Years of irregular lifestyle and alcoholism have begun to take a toll on his body. Negative effects of reversal.

Rangers' chief center McCoist is one year older. At the age of 34, he is no longer the super forward who averaged one goal per game in the Scottish Super League due to his physical fitness.

It can be said that, except for Brian Laudrup who still maintains his peak state, the Rangers players who are one year older have begun to gradually move away from their peak state.

"Why did Paul (Gascoigne) decline so quickly in his physical confrontation ability? When he was in Lazio two years ago, he could still eat Jurgen (Kohler) raw with his body." This is a classmate of Nesta After easily stealing the ball at Gascoigne's feet in a scramble, doubts arose in my heart.

Nesta, who used to work with Gascoigne, naturally knows the ability of the England midfielder. He also played against the opponent at this time last year. At that time, Gaza gave Nesta a headache. In direct physical confrontation Upper Gaza can even gain the upper hand... How come it's only been a year, and he easily squeezed the opponent away with a single fight?This gap is too obvious!

As a good boy, Nesta certainly doesn't have an intuitive understanding of alcoholism and irregular work and rest patterns, but this time he seems to be able to understand a thing or two from Gascoigne...

McCoyst was stared at by Ferrara, and the Scottish center forward was no match for the Italian central defender at his peak, no matter in terms of physical fitness or cunning and cunning. Therefore, from the beginning of the game, McCoyst Just "invisible" from the field.

Compared with the core of the top two Rangers teams, Laudrup Jr. was even more depressed. The Dane was still very happy when he saw last year's old opponent Lanna was no longer in the Fiorentina team. I don't have to face that stomach-ache opponent anymore, but I didn't expect that the Brazilian defender named Roberto Carlos who was facing him this time was even more troublesome than Lanna.

Stronger than him, faster than him, technically... does anyone think a Brazilian player is technically inferior?

As a result, Laudrup Jr. was completely watched to death by Robert Carlos, and he was inactive throughout the game.

The Rangers' offense was completely paralyzed when the three best players in the team were all marked to death. After all, they were far away from the mainstream European tactics and they did not have a clear understanding of the new tactics of full-back assists. It can slightly threaten the goal guarded by Toldo through the oldest long pass and long shot.

And Fiorentina, who put on a defensive counterattack at the Ibrox Stadium, kept seizing the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack after breaking the opponent's ball. The combination of Batty and Ronaldo made the Rangers defender They were exhausted, and Costa's precise passing skills were also fully reflected in this game.

In the end, Ronaldo and Rui Costa scored a goal each in the first and second half, helping Fiorentina beat Rangers [-]-[-] in the away game, and got a good start in the Champions League group stage.
