After the European Cup qualifier group stage came to an end, Fiorentina finally ushered in the long-awaited Serie A!

On September 9th, the first round of Serie A opened. Fiorentina and Pepper Lecce, who came to the Frankie Stadium as a guest, staged a refreshing confrontation. Players from both sides scored a total of 12 minutes. Nine goals even made some fans who watched the game on TV think they were on the wrong channel.

It's no wonder fans have such doubts. After all, Fiorentina has always given people the impression that their defense is very stable. Let alone conceding three or four goals in a game, there are only a handful of times when they are scored twice in a single game!

Therefore, this match against Lecce is indeed a bit ruinous.

In the end, the powerful Fiorentina was even better. With Ronaldo's lore before the end of the game, the little pepper was finished. They defeated their opponents by a score of [-] to [-] and won the new season of Serie A. A good start!

Subsequently, under the leadership of Capello, the Fiorentina players all went north to Trondheim, Norway's third largest city, where they will usher in the first Champions League group match of the season!

Here is a brief introduction to Fiorentina's Champions League grouping situation this season. Fiorentina, who were placed in the first group, had good luck in the group draw ceremony this time, not only avoiding the most difficult Real Madrid and Dynamo Kiev, and also escaped the strongest Arsenal in the third tier, were assigned to the B team together with the Eredivisie giants Eindhoven, the Basque lions Athletic Bilbao and the Norwegian overlord Rosenborg. Group.

Compared with the good luck of Fiorentina, the signing luck of the other three teams from Serie A is not very good: Inter Milan is better, and only Real Madrid can compete with it in Group C. The Graz Storm and Spartak Moscow are both average in strength and cannot pose much threat to the emergence of these two teams; Juventus' situation is slightly more serious, and the Premier League champions Arsenal are in Group E with the Bianconeri , the Bundesliga powerhouse Bayer Leverkusen, and the mysterious Turkish teacher Galatasaray, as long as the newly appointed Fatty An is careful, then Juventus can completely suppress the other three in this group with their superior strength. teams.Of course, the frenzied football atmosphere in Turkey is something that Ancelotti needs to pay special attention to.

Parma is the worst one among the four Serie A teams. Due to Zhuang Mingge's various actions in the past few years, the European Champions Cup was implemented several years in advance. As in history, there was a death group where Bayern, Manchester United and Barcelona gathered together.Therefore, Parma, which is in the second tier, is an unusual cup this time - the Milk Legion and last season's La Liga champion Barcelona, ​​the Premier League powerhouse Chelsea, and Kaiserslautern, who created a miracle in the Bundesliga last season. Arrived in a group!

Parma's new boss, Alberto Malesani, nearly burst into tears when he learned the team had been drawn with the three - and two champions from the top four leagues. Being assigned to the same group, coupled with a Chelsea team that is quite good at playing cup games, this is undoubtedly an extremely difficult European journey for Malesani who has just taken charge of Parma coach!

By the way, when this group surfaced, almost all the European sports media got excited.After all, it is very rare to have such a heavyweight group with four members in the group stage of the Champions Cup. Although Fiorentina was often divided into the so-called death group in the past few years, Viola and the other three teams Among the teams, there is no small advantage in terms of strength and experience, so qualifying from the group has never been a big problem.Unlike the group where Parma is in, the strengths of the four teams are all about the same, and any one of them is likely to be eliminated if they are not careful!

That's why Malesani seemed so nervous—it was hard to wait for the opportunity to coach a strong team, in case he screwed up this time, for example, the team was directly eliminated in the Champions League group stage or the league If the record is not good or something, it will be very difficult for him to make a comeback in the future.

Leaving aside Parma, who was thrown into the death group, and the nervous Malesani coach, let us turn our attention back to Fiorentina, who has arrived in Trondheim.

The first thing the Fiorentina players did after arriving in Norway was not to go to the stadium for field adaptation training under the leadership of the staff sent by Rosenberg, but to do a good job on the plane under the supervision of their own physiotherapy team. A series of anti-cold measures, and then hurriedly drove to the hotel that had been booked, and had no intention of adapting to the venue immediately.

There is no way around this. Compared with the other two teams in the group, although Rosenborg is the weakest in the group, its home field advantage is also the most obvious among the four teams. The nightmare in the heart of the rich team.

The only good thing is that the away game between Fiorentina and Rosenberg was arranged by UEFA in September, which has not yet entered the cold winter, and the opponent has not yet had too obvious a climate advantage.If you have to wait until November and February to play in Norway like Bilbao and Eindhoven, then the result will be hard to say...

After a little adaptation to the weather in Norway, the Fiorentina players began to implement the scheduled plan under the leadership of the coaching staff to prepare for the match against Rosenborg.

In this way, the time soon came to September 9, the day when Florence's first Champions League group match of the season began.

For Rosenborg, a traditional Nordic force opponent, Capello put a lot of effort into the starting lineup, not only offering a fast and flexible combination of Ronaldo and Inzaghi on the front line to deal with Rosenborg's The defensive line, which is more than brave but not dexterous, also puts the Finns Hyypia and Stam together as a central defender to resist the attack of the opponent's high center forward.

As for whether Rosenberg will take advantage of the weakness of the two people's slow turns and hit them behind, Capello is still not worried, mainly because Rosenberg is still insisting on the traditional winger's bottom pass. There is no such speed player with strong scoring ability for the center to solve the battle in the penalty area, so naturally there is no need to worry about this problem.

Goalkeeper Toldo, Roberto Carlos and Zambrotta with first-class physical fitness serve as the starting full-backs, Hyypia and Stam are two tall guys in the middle, Effenberg and Redondo, two technical and Guys who are not at a disadvantage form a dual core, Makelele and Gattuso are in charge of sweeping the midfield, and Ronaldo and Inzaghi are on the front line... These are the starting 11 players of Fiorentina in this game.

So, at Rosenborg's home court, Florence, who came prepared, launched a fierce contest with the Norwegian overlord!
