The Era of Emerald

"Welcome to the Amsterdam Arena! Tonight will be the last game of this season's European Champions Cup on this venue, and it is also the highlight of the most attention! What is interesting is that this time the two players who got the tickets for the Champions League final The two teams are all from Italy, and they are Fiorentina, which has won consecutive Champions Cups in the past two years, and Juventus, the Bianconeri who have won the most Serie A titles!"

"The biggest highlight of this game is the Serie A civil war between Fiorentina and Juventus. I believe that such a grand occasion will make many fans feel excited; and before the start of this game, Fiorentina has already won the league and domestic cups. The championship trophy, so the result of this game will determine whether the Viola can win the glory of the Triple Crown again two years later; in addition, whether Fiorentina can become the successor to Real Madrid in the 50s, Ajax and Ajax in the 70s. After Bayern, the fourth team to complete the Champions League three consecutive championships is also one of the highlights of this final!"

Taking advantage of the time when the commentator took a breather, Robert Baggio, who appeared in the live broadcast room as a special guest, began to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams: "Let me introduce the starting lineups of the two teams. , for Juventus, Marcelo Lippi changed into five-three-two in this final, goalkeeper Peruzzi, Juliano and Montero among the three central defenders served as marking central defenders, and Blanc delayed a little. After that, they are responsible for making up defense at any time; Pesotto and Torricelli are wandering on the wing. They have a heavy task in this game. They not only have to defend against Fiorentina's offensive, but also are responsible for widening the offensive width. Provide support for the team's offense; Zidane in the midfielder position is the core of the Bianconeri on the field, and his French compatriot Didier Deschamps is the midfielder. The specific position of the versatile Di Livio is not easy to judge. I think Lippi is very likely to arrange him to adapt to the situation in the game and decide his position according to the situation on the field; needless to say on the forward line, Del Piero and Otero are the most guaranteed firepower for Juventus this season The output combination, people like Nicola Amoruso and Fonseca can't replace them at all."

"For Fiorentina, Capello used a regular four-four-two formation. The starting goalkeeper is undoubtedly Francisco Toldo. His ability and talent, I think the only young goalkeepers in Italy may be Parma's Buffon. Can surpass him; the four defenders from left to right are Roberto Carlos, Stam, Nesta and Zambrotta; in the midfield, Davis appeared in the starting list, his midfielder Sweeping ability is very important for Fiorentina's defensive system, just look at the last semi-final match against Real Madrid, the Fiorentina midfielder without the Dutch wild boar, its defensive level has dropped a whole notch!"

"In addition to Davis, Di Biagio also appeared in the starting lineup. It seems that he will be in charge of Fiorentina's midfield defense with Davis; Redondo and Effenberg start together. One in front and one behind to form a midfield duo; Vieri and Ronaldo's strikers are powerful, and Juventus' defenders are in trouble."

"Robert, you have played for both Juventus and Fiorentina, and you have played for a long time. I think you should have a unique opinion on these two clubs. So, do you think today Which side has a better chance of winning tonight?"

"Well, it's not easy to say. Although there was some shackles between me and Coach Lippi in the last year of Juventus, the coach is really capable, otherwise it would not be possible to lead the team to the top three in the league for many years. ... If it weren't for Fiorentina's record in the past few years, Juventus might have broken the embarrassment of years without a league championship. As for Fiorentina, to be honest, their overall strength and bench depth are all the top in Europe. A team may not have such a luxurious first-team lineup." Baggio thought for a while, and then gave an answer, "But football is not a simple comparison of the strength of two teams to calculate the result. Sports, otherwise it would not attract so many people's attention, let alone become the world's number one sport."

"Then can I think, Robert, what you mean is that you think Florence, which is stronger, has a better chance of winning?"

"Uh, you can also say that." Baggio hesitated for a while, and finally nodded. After all, in his heart, Fiorentina's status is much more important than Juventus.

While the commentator and Baggio were commenting on the game, the players from Fiorentina and Juventus had already arrived at the exit of the player tunnel, and they were waiting quietly in two lines The moment you step on the field.

In front of the players are the four referees who are in charge of law enforcement in the UEFA Champions League final; and in front of the referees, that is, in the center of the exit of the player channel, is a European Champions Cup that all professional players dream about. !

Although the Champions League trophy is nothing new for many Fiorentina players, this time is different, because according to UEFA regulations, the team that has won five Champions League titles or won the Champions League three times in a row, You can permanently keep a Champions Cup trophy!

Therefore, everyone in Florence hopes that after the game, the Champions Cup trophy will remain in Florence forever, instead of only placing a few replicas that are only four-fifths of the original size in the honor room.

During the time when the players were waiting to play in the tunnel, the players from both sides did not communicate much.One is that due to some well-known reasons, the relationship between the two clubs, Fiorentina and Juventus, has never been very good. This has led to the fact that the communication between players can only be carried out in the national team, and there are basically few people who have good personal relationships. In addition, it is also because Juventus has been firmly suppressed by Fiorentina in domestic and foreign competitions in recent years, so the Juventus players who are extremely eager for championship honors are all green-eyed at the Champions League trophy in front of them, and naturally they are not in the mood to fight with their opponents. get in a word.

Just like that, in silence, the players of both sides followed the referees out of the player channel, bypassed the Champions Cup trophy at the exit, and set foot on the field!

After a series of tedious pre-match ceremonies, the field captains Effenberg and Didier Deschamps went to the middle circle of the court, first shook hands and greeted each other, and then hosted by the German referee Hellmut Krug Get ready to guess.

In this coin-guessing game, Deschamps won, and then he had to lose the right to choose the half, which also means that Fiorentina will take the lead in the first half!

At this time, the players on both sides had already taken their positions on the court, waiting for the referee to blow his whistle!

The peak match between Fiorentina and Juventus is about to begin!
