    Since they only finished second in the group stage, Fiorentina played at home in the first round of the quarter-finals. The pressure on the team playing at home in the first round must be greater. They must win without allowing their opponents to score an away goal.  , even if the strength is higher than the opponent, I dare not say that it will be possible, not to mention that the strength of Florence and Villarreal is only about the same.  When the pressure is high, the atmosphere is high. Before the game even started, Fiorentina and Villarreal started a war of words from a distance.  The reason is that Fiorentina midfielder Brocchi said in an interview that Riquelme is a master, but his speed is as slow as a walk. As long as someone is following him closely, Villarreal's powerful midfield will not be able to exert its power.  Rocchi was not being sarcastic when he said Riquelme was slow, nor was he overdoing it, but the reporter compared Villarreal to a submarine and Fiorentina to Ferrari, indicating that in terms of speed, Villarreal  Yal was too slow. When such news reached the Villarreal people, it was more harsh, and it immediately caused a counterattack from the Villarreal people.  Riquelme didn't have a good impression of Italian football. After hearing Brocchi's words, he counterattacked disdainfully: "Fast? Does football need to be fast? Football is not track and field, it doesn't need to be that fast, but Italian football doesn't seem to be fast either.  , What you are best at is defensive counterattack. In fact, as long as we are huddled in the penalty area, our midfielder will not be able to play any role. However, it is best not to give me a chance to take a free kick. " Riquelme's huddle stung Florence.  Although defensive counterattack is a characteristic of Italian football, the conservative and ugly nature of Italian football has always been criticized by the world. The coaching philosophy of Florence head coach Prandelli is to change the conservative nature of Italian football and combine beauty with victory. This also shows that  Even Italians are dissatisfied with the conservatism and ugliness of Italian football, but it is okay to be dissatisfied. When outsiders talk about it, Italian players are still very angry.  Prandelli personally retorted: "Riquelme is a great player, but his understanding of Florence is wrong. Florence will not shrink, and Villarreal is not worthy of us shrinking at our home court."  , We will make the Spaniards understand that their football is not the only technical football in the world, and it is not their football that can be played beautifully." Tony said: "Villarreal has strong strength, but Florence also has great strength.  It¡¯s not a weak team. It¡¯s hard to say who can make it to the quarterfinals. Villarreal wants to go wild at the Estadio Franchi, so it¡¯s time to weigh its own weight. Maybe who will shrink by then?¡± Chen Yu is very confident.  Said: "We are not afraid of any team, and we are confident that we can break through the door of any team. At the Estadio Franchi, even Barcelona cannot get away with it. Villarreal can do it.  Come and give it a try, I promise to make them realize that ideals are full and reality is skinny." Faced with Fiorentina's cynicism, Villarreal forward Forlan and midfielder Senna also fought back, which made them feel uncomfortable.  Some fiery wars of words became even more tense.  "Fiorentina has the home advantage, but we have the advantage of playing first before home. We have nothing to worry about in the away game. Even if we get a draw with a goal, it is a very favorable situation for us, and Florence will obviously have a better situation."  There are so many worries. If we can get a draw with a goal in the away game, our hope of advancing will reach 80%." Spanish midfielder Senna said: "Fiorentina's forwards are very strong, they can even call it that.  The strongest forward combination in Europe, but we have the ability to shut them down. Our midfielder will contain their midfielder and leave their forwards without support. Without artillery, no matter how good the artillery is, it will have no effect.  Compared with the increasingly arrogant and heated tone of the players, Villarreal's head coach Pellegrini is relatively calm. He said: "Fiorentina is by no means an easy team to play.  I have observed them for a long time. They are very strong and have very flexible tactics. They are not as conservative as ordinary Italian teams. In the battles with the top three in Serie A, Fiorentina rarely suffered losses, but the game between Fiorentina and Villarreal was  In the competition between the two styles, the final result cannot be determined based on the comparison of strength on paper. We have the advantage of putting the guest first and then the host, so we may be more relaxed during the fight.  ¡± With the start of the knockout rounds of the Champions League, not only the war of words between Fiorentina and Villarreal, but also the war of words between other major teams has become more intense, especially Real Madrid and Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea, Milan and Bayern  , newspapers are almost full of news about them, and on the Internet, fans of major giants are also shouting and scolding, building momentum for their own teams and damaging the morale of their opponent's fans. War of words is also an integral part of the game.  Partly, but the final decision is the strength comparison and the current state of the two sides. Of the four games on the first match day of the knockout round, two are duels between giants, one is a weak team challenging a giant, and one is between non-mainstream.  Fighting each other, among which Real Madrid is stronger than ArsenalReal Madrid is slightly stronger and playing at home. They are more favored than other teams, but football always surprises. Real Madrid, the 9-time winner of the Champions League at home, was defeated by Arsenal, who had never won the Champions League before, after 90 minutes of the game.  l:0 defeat, a big upset.  In another game, the defending champion Liverpool, who were expected to be undefeated, were also upset by Benfica of the Portuguese Super League. They lost 0:1 in the away game and failed to even get a goal difference, which cast a shadow on the second round home life-or-death battle.  cast a shadow.  Bayern's home game against Milan was as expected before the game. Neither side could do anything to defeat the other. It ended up being an L:L draw. Milan got an away goal in Munich, which allowed them to play at home in the second round.  become more advantageous.  In these two non-mainstream contests, PSV was slightly inferior to Lyon, the top team in France, but PSV was playing at home, and the two sides were evenly matched. However, in this game, Lyon played very passively and even  One person was sent off, but with Juninho's free kick goal, the six-time French champions won the away game 1:0 and defeated the Eredivisie champions with difficulty.  The results of the first match day made Florence more vigilant about the upcoming games. Judging from the results of the first round, the away team won two of the four games, and Milan also got a draw in the draw.  Away goals are equivalent to winning half a game, and only Benfica can save a little face for the home team.  Although every game is different from other games, football also pays attention to luck and momentum. Now the situation and luck are obviously unfavorable to the home team. Florence has to be more fully prepared and the tactical arrangements are more stable.  Due to the fierce war of words between Fiorentina and Villarreal, the players were all in high spirits and were determined to defeat Villarreal at home and let this small town team understand that their  Technical football is bullshit. The Fiorentina fans were also very excited. They chanted outside all day long to teach the Spaniards a lesson, at least three of them. In this atmosphere, Fiorentina's coaching staff also formulated a relatively radical plan.  lineup and play style.  That night, after watching the game, Fiorentina's coaching staff discussed it. The goal remained unchanged and they still wanted to win Villarreal at home, but their playing style and lineup were a little more conservative than before. It turned out that Plan  Deli arranged a 433 formation, which was to attack Villarreal, strive to win with a big score, and determine the right to qualify in the first game, but now, Prandelli is ready to turn 433 into a stable formation.  4I strives to win, but does not require a score. As long as Villarreal does not score, even 1:0 is a good score.  The next morning, when Prandelli held a team affairs meeting, he announced his ideas and arrangements to the players and solicited their opinions.  Tony was irritated by Villarreal's arrogance before. After hearing this, he stood up suddenly and said: "I don't think there is any need to be so conservative. It's not that we have never played against La Liga teams, we are still the leader of La Liga, Barcelona.  Villarreal can't even get into the top four of La Liga now. We are so conservative and it will be harder to play on the road." Fiore once played for Valencia in La Liga and has no favorable impression of La Liga. He also said.  : "I think we don't need to be so conservative. We have to fight to the death anyway. Why not play at our home court. If we can win this game by a big score, the second game will be easy. If we can't beat Billy at home,  I'm afraid I can't count on the away game. ""It's either this or that game. It's a fight to the death anyway." "La Liga is too rampant. They think they are the first league now."  A small team with no history and no foundation dared to brag with us before the game. "Many players in Florence intervened, hoping that Prandelli would be braver and bolder. After all, they were facing Villare.  Yal is not a wealthy club like Barcelona and Real Madrid, and before today, Prandelli has always put offense in the most important position. Now he suddenly becomes conservative, which makes the players in Florence a little uncomfortable, and before the game, the players all  The big words have been released. If we play conservatively now, even if we win, I'm afraid it won't be enough for Spanish reporters to laugh at.  Prandelli looked at the players who were bent on winning, without saying anything, with a calm look on his face, and asked Chen Yu: "Chen, what do you think?" Chen Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, the opinions of our players are,  I don¡¯t think it¡¯s important. The coach is more professional about this. But with this change, are we a little too cautious? Although Villarreal performed well in the Champions League, they can¡¯t play well in the league. If we can¡¯t win at home  Gaining a big advantage, you don¡¯t know what will happen when you go to the away game.¡± Prandelli said to Dainelli: ¡°What do you think?¡± Dainelli is more calm, ¡°I think you can¡¯t rush.  Success, it will never be easy for a team to beat Manchester United and win the first place in the group. It's better to play steadily." Prandelli nodded and understood.?Attitude, he said firmly: "A total of 5 goals were scored in yesterday's game. Each team is very conservative. I'm afraid they won't be so aggressive today. Although Villarreal is a La Liga team, their  The defense is not weak. I think our original tactics were a little too radical. We have not played in the Champions League for many years. I think it is right to be more conservative. Compared with face, victory is more important, and compared with victory, promotion is more important.  " Seeing what Prandelli said, the players stopped talking. Over the past year, Prandelli has also established his authority in the team. Since Prandelli insisted on his arrangement, the players  I can only obey.
