In this way, with Utaka’s header bombing Lance, he won a victory at home, saved the qualification for the UEFA Cup and gave the absentminded Florence a twogame losing streak in the Champions League!
Although they suffered two defeats in a row in the Champions League, whether it was the coach Heinz or the Fiorentina players did not cause much trouble. Of course, Florence locked in the qualification for promotion early, but more importantly, La Coruna beat Bayern Munich 21 at Riaso Stadium at the same time, and ended their journey in the Champions League group stage with a goal difference.
In Bayern Munich, once again lost to La Coruna’s Bundesliga overlord in a headon confrontation, it had to face a very cruel reality. In the Champions League this Bundesliga giant not only finished last at the end of the group stage, but also went home, creating a humiliating result of only two points after six games in the group stage!
Bayern Munich’s performance in the Champions League is obviously very commendable compared with Bayer Leverkusen’s, although the pharmaceutical factory’s journey in the Bundesliga this season can be said to be difficult because of the distraction of the Champions League, which once gave people the feeling that they needed to avoid relegation. However, in the Champions League, the pharmaceutical factory completed the Jedi reversal after losing two games in the first game, and just broke through the second place in the group and advanced to the top 16 in a thrilling way surrounded by Manchester United, Olympiacos and other teams!
Especially in the final round of the group match against Manchester United, Leverkusen played the best form in the season, and was criticized by the fans. Bulgarian teenager Berbatov finally helped his teammate Aquilani break the goal shortage and showed his general demeanor in the game. In addition, the latter also assisted Neuville to score twice and successfully scored an assist hat trick, which was the biggest contributor to the pharmaceutical factory’s victory over Manchester United!
Even Leverkusen, a team that has been greatly weakened, can reach the knockout stage of the Champions League and get the essence of the pharmaceutical factory. On the contrary, Bayern Munich is hard to lose all the German football faces in one win, which may have a great negative impact on Bayern’s image among fans.
So Hess and rummenigge, who have already reinforced the team, have one more thing to do, that is, try their best to restore Bayern’s image in the hearts of fans and avoid the bad impression that Bayern Munich is a horizontal team.
However, these obviously have nothing to do with Florence. For Heynckes, his first goal now is very clear, that is to win his first Serie A championship since he coached Florence! In order to achieve this goal, the German coach did not hesitate to let the team suffer two consecutive defeats in the Champions League, even though he was always under pressure. La Coruna did not hesitate to finish the lead in the group standings!
Of course, the main reason why Heynckes dares to put so much money in the Champions League is that Florence has already qualified for the group. If Viola’s performance in the Champions League is as bad as Bayern’s, it will be a notice of dismissal whether he will win the Serie A championship or not.
Chapter 112 The most familiar stranger (a)
At the time of entering the group stage of the Champions League in December, the competition has already come to an end, and the Italian Cup has also come to an end for the time being. These two events will not be rekindled until February of 2008, and Heynckes finally waited for the day to prepare for the league.
After the trip to France, Florence proved to everyone in the 13th Serie A on the weekend that their twogame losing streak in the Champions League was just a deliberate release of water. vieri scored a personal goal in the 19th league of the season, and Dinatale also scored two goals in the game to help Viola beat newly promoted Modena 20 away and win the team’s 12th victory in the league battlefield.
A week later, Florence, sitting in Frankie Stadium, waited for their 14th opponent in the league and the last team among the top three in the North who had not played against them in the seasonAC Milan led by Ancelotti!
Andriy Shevchenko, do you have anything to add? Before leaving for Florence, Carlo Ancelotti finished the latest prematch arrangement in Milanello. It suddenly occurred to him that there was such an undercover in the team who knew the viola well, so he asked, after all, in Carlo Ancelotti’s cautious view, an opponent of Florence’s level can’t be too careful.
Actually, Carlo (Ancelotti) just said that he was very familiar. Even though he played in Florence for several seasons, I’m afraid I didn’t study it in such detail. Shevchenko has been looking forward to this game for a long time. After all, Shevchenko finally violated the teachings of his deceased teacher lobanovski and decided to leave Florence because the head coach Heynckes finally refused to give him the same tactical position as vieri and wanted him to attract fire from the flank to make a wedding dress for vieri. I want to say that I hope everyone can pay special attention to one thing, that is, never try to defend vieri alone! I know too well what he can do. This guy is definitely not a person to deal with. You must doubleteam him to ensure the success rate of defense!
Hum Grandoni retorted with a slight snort in his nose when Shevchenko said this. I don’t think it is necessary to know that Florence will send more than one attacker in this game. If we arrange two people to attack vieri, it will be difficult for the remaining people to cope with the impact of other strikers in Florence. I think the defense line is stable. We must never doubleteam vieri, otherwise the other attackers in Florence will seize this opportunity to attack our goal exhibition … After all, whether Dinatale or Inzaghi, their shooting skills are quite excellent. Which one have they missed?
In the eyes of Grandoni, who has always been arrogant, he is no worse than Sta and Materazzi, who have occupied the main position of the national team for many years. He has never been favored by the head coach, but his honor in the body has been overwhelmed by Florence’s gang. Therefore, when Shevchenko said that vieri can’t be stared at by one person, Grandoni’s little flame was instantly ignited!
Grandoni’s words are very reasonable. We really can’t relax our defense against others just because of vieri, said paolo maldini, the current captain and locker room leader of AC Milan, who was not very satisfied with Sheva’s speech.
Maybe Shevchenko is telling the truth, but his description is very long. The suspicion that others will destroy their prestige will also hurt the morale of the team to a certain extent. Therefore, Maldini finally chose to support Grandoni instead of Shevchenko. How about this, Grandoni, you try to keep an eye on vieri alone. If it fails, how about letting Massimo (Ambrosini) and others help you?
I think Paolo’s arrangement is very good, so let’s do it. At this time, coach Carlo Ancelotti also agreed with Maldini’s arrangement and made the final decision
Seeing that Ancelotti and Maldini, the two bosses, didn’t agree to discuss Shevchenko themselves, he couldn’t help sighing secretly. He knew in his heart that he was a newcomer, and he didn’t get much speech in AC Milan, a place where seniority is extremely serious.
Every time I think about it, Shevchenko still misses the relaxed atmosphere when I played in Florence. Because Viola is the core of two foreign players, effenberg and Lei Dongduo, and the leaders of the Turkish gang are Lala and Sta, and the team has risen only in the last ten years, the Florence Department’s acceptance of new people is still very high. Otherwise, Shevchenko, who landed in Serie A for the first time at that time, could not have won the golden boots in Serie A from vieri and Ronaldo, thus establishing his position in European football.
However, although I miss Florence Day in my heart, Shevchenko does not regret his decision to leave Viola. After all, everyone has to look forward. If he stays in Florence, the end result will definitely be to continue to use vieri as a green leaf.
Shevchenko’s situation is similar to that of Shevchenko, who is eager to prove his ability to Heynckes in this game. There is also a player in Florence who has quite entangled feelings with AC Milan and Ancelotti, that is, demetrio albertini, the former vicecaptain of Milan.
Although albertini’s love for AC Milan is unquestionable, it is certainly impossible to say that the former Milan vicecaptain has no resentment against the old Berlusconi and Ancelotti. After all, it is really chilling for the management of AC Milan to treat this meritorious player albertini this summer.
Therefore, albertini is also looking forward to this contest with his old club for a long time. He hopes to take practical actions to prove to Berlusconi and Ancelotti what a stupid decision they have made!
Therefore, Bai albertini’s mind Heynckes put the midfielder in the starting list against AC Milan very intimately, and he was not worried that the other side would deliberately let the water go in this game with his old cluba professional player albertini’s professionalism forbade him to do such a thing.
In this way, when Shevchenko and albertini were waiting for it, they finally came to December 15th, that is, the decisive battle between Florence and AC Milan at Frankie Stadium!
Chapter 113 The most familiar stranger (2)
Because the contest between Shevchenko and Florence, albertini and AC Milan has attracted a lot of fans and media attention, after all, this is the first time that the two stars have confronted each other after changing their owners this summer, so naturally there are many people who want to know the result of this game. They want to know whether Florence can win by unexpectedly selling Shevchenko, a Ukrainian nuclear warhead, or resolutely send away AC Milan, the vice captain of the team.
With this attractive publicity stunt and these two teams, they almost ruled the whole Serie A in the 1990s, and the feuds between the old and new overlords were a dime a dozen, not to mention Sacchi’s old story. All this became a point of attracting fans’ attention, so when it came to 6 pm on the 15th, the stands at Frankie Stadium were almost packed, and it was hard to get a ticket!
It is no wonder that Florence and AC Milan are so conspicuous in the league standings at present. One is the league leader, and the other, although not as abnormal as Viola, has handed in nine wins, two draws and two losses in the first thirteen rounds, and is only in the third place after Florence and Inter Milan, with a gap of seven points from the top.
Therefore, the headon confrontation between Florence and AC Milan can be regarded as a championship battleif Florence wins, Viola can further expand its lead in the standings and have more room to choose when the season enters the sprint stage; And if AC Milan win, they can take the opportunity to narrow the gap with Florence.
Now let’s briefly introduce the visiting team in the first round of the game. Because the main goalkeeper abbiati was accidentally injured before the season, Brazilian Dida became Ancelotti’s first choice in the goalkeeper position. Defence captain Paolo Maldini and Grandoni partnered with centrebacks Kaladze and Hellwig, who were separated at the left and right. In midfield, because Pirlo and Gattuso were both dug up in Florence before Zhuang Ge, and Ambrosini didn’t linger on his sickbed for a long time after the European Cup in the past two years, the Rossoneri’s starting midfielder became Ambrosini and Roberto Baronio’s two midfield masters, Seedorf and Rui Costa, who were in charge of organizing the field. The striker is Rybrov and Shevchenko, the Ukrainian binary stars, who cooperated tacitly in Dynamo Kiev. Their reunion in Milan this time is naturally selfevident.
Look at Florence. Heynckes still put on a 433 formation in this game. The goalkeeper is Italy’s number one goalkeeper. gianluigi buffon’s left and right defenders are Roberto Carlos and Zambrotta respectively. The central defender is Stam and Sta, a pair of partners who have not chosen to be younger and more aggressive for many years. Lucio is worried that the Brazilian’s restless mind will pit Florence in this game and put him on the bench instead of writing him on the starting list.
Albertini, one of the three starting midfielders, took up one of them. He and Pirlo will form the Florence midfielder. The doublecore is responsible for controlling the rhythm of the team’s game and sending out the fatal goal. Behind albertini and Pirlo, claude makelele, an unremarkable French midfielder, plays a very important role in Florence’s tactical system. Without his silent dedication and dedication on the defensive end, Heinks could not have put albertini and Pirlo, two midfielders with slightly insufficient frontal defensive ability, in the starting lineup, especially when playing three midfielders.
And in the front line, Heinz sent Vincent, vieri and Dinatale to deal with AC Milan’s experienced defense line. This attack trident is topnotch in terms of impact, strength and speed, which has brought enough trouble to Maldini and them!
In addition, by the way, when I watched the broadcast here, I suffered a big loss in dino zoff. This time, I finally learned my lesson. I honestly invited Robert Baggio and the commentator of the ruud gullit game. I didn’t make any trouble here. For example, Sacchi, who was nervous about Florence, was invited to the live broadcast.
