The Era of Emerald

While Zhuang Minge and Karin were picking and choosing from a large number of quotations, the day of the UEFA Champions League semi-final match between Fiorentina and Juventus had arrived unconsciously.

According to UEFA's schedule, the first round of the match between the two sides will be held at Juventus' home stadium, the Alpi Stadium. Occupy a certain advantage in the two rounds of the final.

The big victory against Milan last weekend seemed to have given Lippi and Juventus players a lot of confidence. When interviewed by reporters before the game, many Juventus players said that this season they played in the league. Due to various reasons, they did not give full play. This time the UEFA Champions League semi-final is the best stage to prove the strength of the Bianconeri. The Bianconeri with a well-organized lineup will definitely beat Fiorentina!

And the Fiorentina players sneered at Juventus' statement in private: You guys can't beat us in the league, do you think you can turn around in the Champions League?Go dreaming!

……

"Haha, Chairman Corleone, this is the first time that Juventus has participated in the semi-finals of the Champions League in the past ten years. I hope your team will show mercy." In the VIP box at the Alpi Stadium, Moggi was chatting with Zhuang Mingge Haha, "If I lose too badly, I'm afraid our fans will tie me to a cross and burn me to ashes."

Zhuang Mingge knew in his heart that this was just the old fox Mo showing weakness to the enemy. Of course he would not be easily fooled by the old fox, but on the surface he had to be polite to him: "Oh, Manager Moji, what do you mean Where is it, who doesn’t know that Juventus is a famous and powerful team in Italian football, and we in Fiorentina are already very satisfied when we come here and can retreat unscathed.”

"Hehe, Chairman Corleone, you think too highly of our Juventus." Although Moji said this, he slandered Zhuang Mingge's words in his heart: Who didn't know that the second bottle of Hedy that Milan was poured by you was in their own home court. ?You dared to be so arrogant at the San Siro Stadium, but if you switch to the Alpi Stadium, your Fiorentina will die down?What about cheating ghosts? !

After some courtesy, Zhuang Mingge and Mo Ji sat in their seats respectively, and did not try to strike up a conversation.Both of them knew very well in their hearts that they had nothing to say to each other.After all, no matter how you look at it, Juventus and Fiorentina are veritable mortal enemies. [

"The game has begun. In this game, Juventus, who are playing at home, have formed a four-four-two formation: goalkeeper Peruzzi, and the four defenders are Pesotto, Blanc, Montero and Torricelli. ; In the midfield, the two Frenchmen Didier Deschamps and Zidane supported the backbone of the Bianconeri midfield one after the other, and Di Livio and Yugovic from Yugoslavia were responsible for providing them on the field. Support; on the forward line, Zebra Prince Del Piero and Croatian center Boksic partnered to start, and Marcelo Lippi sent all the main players available in this game!"

Lippi looked at the players constantly running on the court, and he was quite satisfied in his heart, but there was still one thing that made Silver Fox feel a little uneasy, and that was Juventus' current forward line.

It is too unstable!This is the Silver Fox's evaluation of the team's striker.After Vialli and Ravanelli left, it was obviously too dangerous to tie the team's offense to Pierrot alone.Although Prince Zebra's ability to attack cities and fortresses is top-notch in Europe, Boksic, Amoruso Jr. and others are not good at scoring. Zidane is more regarded as an organizing midfielder at this time. potential has not yet been fully exploited.Over-reliance on Piero for goals is the main reason why Juventus fell behind in the league championship with Fiorentina this season-compared to the quarter-final opponent Atletico Madrid, those opponents in Serie A are obviously better at dealing with Juventus.

For Fiorentina, the team coach Capello obviously led the team to the Alpi Stadium with a defensive and counterattack mentality. This can be seen from Fiorentina's starting lineup for this game.

Goalkeeper Toldo, Roberto Carlos and Zambrotta became the starting full-backs, and the central defenders were Stam and Nesta. impregnable.

In front of Nesta and Stam are Di Biagio and Davis. They are responsible for protecting the defense from the direct impact of the Juventus striker and are also responsible for sweeping the midfield; Redondo and The two of Effenberg teamed up to organize Fiorentina's offense, and the heavy responsibility of controlling the team's game rhythm also fell on their shoulders.

On the forward line, Ronaldo and Vieri became Capello's first choice, the reason why Batistuta and Inzaghi were not chosen.On the one hand, it is because the two played the entire game against Inter Milan last weekend, so they are inevitably lacking in physical fitness and game status; Considering the team's tactics in each game, after all, Vieri is faster than the Argentine God of War.

Therefore, in the case of other similarities, Capello naturally chose Vieri, who is more mobile and physically stronger.

And Batty and Inzaghi also expressed their understanding of Capello's arrangement, not that they really have no idea about not being able to start the game, but under the influence of the club culture that Zhuang Mingge has vigorously built over the years, they All of them have been unknowingly stained with a strong brand of Florence.

What is so special about Florence?loyalty!It is the loyalty and wholeheartedness to the club that allowed Fiorentina to not cause any trouble in the game playing time even though the first team has a large number of stars.

I have to say that Capello's thinking is quite right.Due to Boksic's drag, Juventus' offensive ability in the game is quite weak now. Fiorentina put on such a defensive counterattack posture in the away game, which just hit the most critical part of the Bianconeri - offense, Ronaldo's Speed ​​is not a vegetarian, a successful counterattack is enough to make Juventus fall into a doomed situation; if you don’t attack, with Capello’s shameless level, this gold medal coach is very likely to make his team shrink across the board. Fang built an iron bucket formation in the half court, directly defended a zero to zero and it was over.

Faced with this dilemma, Lippi has no good solution. After all, Capello has made it clear that he is targeting Juventus' weaknesses. What can he do?

The only thing Silver Fox can do is to direct the players on the sidelines and get them ready to attack Fiorentina's defense. If they can't win a game at home, the Bianconeri's second round will be in danger.

After all, the Frankie Stadium can also be regarded as the home of the famous devil in Italy.
