The [-]-[-] victory over Naples at home not only allowed the Fiorentina players to vent their grievances accumulated for nearly half a month, but also allowed Viola to finally break the vicious cycle of continuous victories since the draw with Dortmund in early March, and prepare for the upcoming The Champions League match with Barcelona added a lot of confidence in victory.

Ended the unlucky March with a big victory, and now everyone in Fiorentina hopes that in the new month, the team's luck will improve... I don't expect to score some weird goals in the game, I only hope that those who Hard-fought must-goal chances are not turned into meaningless statistics by so-called bad luck.

In this way, with the sincere prayers of the players, Fiorentina ushered in the first game in April: the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against La Liga giants Barcelona.

On the night of April [-]nd, in Barcelona, ​​the capital of Catalonia, Spain, at the most famous Camp Nou stadium in the city, a wonderful duel will be staged!

The last time they played against Barcelona was in the European Super Cup at the beginning of the season. In that game, Fiorentina won the opponent four to one, not only completed the feat of three consecutive European Super Cups, but also almost let Barcelona once again Become the laughing stock of the entire European football.

Therefore, before the start of this game, Barcelona's coach Van Gaal and the players below were gearing up. Knowing that Florence's recent state is extremely poor, they are ready to take advantage of this opportunity to complete a hearty revenge at their home court.

In this game, Van Gaal still insisted on using his famous four-three-three formation: goalkeeper Hesper, right back Reziger, center back is veteran Nadal and Portuguese center back Fernando Couto, left back is assist. Sharp Sergi Baljuan; in midfield, Guardiola joins Celades in holding positions, with all-rounder Luis Enrique in front; up front, Brazilian Rival Do and the Portuguese magic wing Luis Figo are separated on the left and right, and at the top is Van Gaal's favorite player Kluivert when he was coaching at Ajax.

The starting lineup composed of these eleven players can be said to be the most powerful deck of cards that Van Gaal can play. The Dutch coach believes that after more than half a year of running-in, with the strength of these players, in the first round of the game Winning Florence is not a problem at all.

However, Van Gaal did not notice that on the list of personnel given by Fiorentina, there is a person who knows Barcelona well in the column of assistant coaches.

Capello, who was standing on the sidelines, turned his head to look at Van Gaal who was staring at him provocatively, smiled coldly in his heart, and said to his heart that I will let you have fun now, and you will cry when the game is over.

"Jose, those boys have memorized our tactics for this game, right?" After slandering Van Gaal in his heart, Capello turned around and sat back on the coach's bench. The assistant said, "It's hard to come up with a set of tactics specifically to deal with this Barcelona team. I don't want to see these guys all forgotten after a night of sleep."

For this new Portuguese, Capello still admires him very much, because he sees the shadow of him from this young man: the embryonic form of an iron-blooded coach who is rebellious but extremely serious, and has excellent team management skills. .

Out of love for talent, Capello gave a lot of care to this junior and assistant, especially in terms of skills and tactics, Capello can be said to answer all questions raised by Mourinho.This kind of treatment is something that Mourinho has never received by Van Gaal's side, and it reminds the Portuguese of the days when he worked as an interpreter next to Robson.

During the period of following the old Robson, Mourinho became a qualified assistant coach from a mere translator, realizing the first leap in his life; and now, just over two months after coming to Florence During the time, under the careful guidance of Capello, Mourinho felt that he was about to usher in his second promotion as a coach.

Mourinho is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do. He is determined to repay Capello's care for him with practical actions.Therefore, after the team ended the game against Naples, the Portuguese took the initiative to find Capello with a thick stack of information, and spent a whole night to explain in detail what he had learned about Barcelona's tactical system. Explained to Capello.

Capello attached great importance to the precious information provided by Mourinho, so taking advantage of the team's holiday the next day, the two worked overtime in the office for a whole day, and decided on Fiorentina's tactics for the next game .

At the same time, according to the first-hand information provided by Mourinho, Capello finally determined the team's starting list for the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals after careful consideration and consideration.

The goalkeeper is still Toldo. In this critical situation, Capello does not have to worry that the goalkeeper will lack enough motivation for the game; Serving as the left and right full backs of this game, although Carlos played the whole game against Naples four days ago, for the Brazilian with extremely abundant physical fitness, playing a double match once in a week does not constitute much for him troubled.And in that massacre, because Naples gave up the game early because of a large score behind, Carlos did not consume too much energy, and he could be promoted to the starting left back position.

In the midfield, Effenberg, who did not play in the game against Naples, naturally occupied a starting spot, while Fernando Redondo continued to start, and together with the Tigers formed the midfield duo of Fiorentina's game; Weiss and Tomasi, two physical supermen whose defensive area can cover the entire court, got the remaining two starting positions.

On the forward line, Ronaldo and Batistuta will start together. The former's breakthrough and the latter's strength are the most troublesome things for Barcelona's defenders. Their performance in this game will directly determine the performance of Fiorentina. Make or break a trip to Barcelona.

Anyone who knows a little bit about football tactics can see that Fiorentina is playing a defensive counterattack in the away game, using the large space left by the home team to attack and Ronaldo's speed to threaten Barcelona's gate!

"Sir, I can assure you here that everyone has already kept these things in mind, and you just wait to see the good show!" Mourinho said with a certain tone. For this game, the Portuguese can be said to be quite Carefully, it is inevitable that there is no intention of revenge against Van Gaal.

"Haha, then I'll just wait and see."

When Capello and his apprentice were communicating on the sidelines, the players of both sides had already taken their positions on the court. The referee of this game, Nelson, looked at his watch and blew his whistle!

The first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final between Fiorentina and Barcelona has officially begun!
