    Losing to Palermo at home did not bother Fiorentina, and delaying the championship by one round did not bring much regret to them and the fans. For them, the most important thing now is how to deal with Arsenal who came for revenge.  The Champions League and the League have always been a contradictory complex. Every season, the top teams in the five major leagues have to make a headache of multiple choice questions. Should they want the League or the Champions League, or both?  Except for the team that won the double championship, any other choice is a very regrettable thing.  If Fiorentina could not win the Tuscany Derby in the last game, Fiorentina would definitely have to face this choice. Now, with three rounds to go, they lead by 8 points, and the strength of their opponents in the last three rounds has increased.  If it is not strong, Florence can easily give up one or even two games in the league to prepare for the Champions League. For Arsenal, the league and the Champions League still need to make a difficult choice.  Arsenal is currently ranked fifth in the Premier League, four points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur. Before the semi-final match against Fiorentina, Arsenal will play a North London derby with Tottenham Hotspur to decide.  Who will advance to next year's Champions League.  Although Arsenal loses again in this game, they will basically miss the top four in the league, but Wenger decided to retain his strength and put the Champions League first. Henry, Fabregas and Ebra were arranged to sit on  On the bench, Ljungberg and Hleb were hidden, and Arsenal participated in the North London Derby with half of their main players.  Tottenham Hotspur is slightly weaker than Arsenal, but it is not that they cannot beat even half of Arsenal. In the first half, Tottenham had an absolute advantage, and Arsenal could only parry but not fight back.  , but Tottenham's ability to seize opportunities is really poor. They created countless opportunities throughout the first half, but only Robbie Keane scored one goal.  Wenger could accept a draw, but could not accept a defeat. This was a derby after all, and there was still a glimmer of hope for a draw, but a defeat was completely out of the question. In the 65th minute of the second half, Wenger replaced Henry and Cesc Fabregas to strengthen the attack and try to  Turn the tide of battle.  With Henry and Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal showed stronger combat effectiveness, and the confidence of the players also increased a lot. In the 84th minute of the game, Adebayor stole Starteri from the left and passed through to Henry.  After getting rid of Gardner, he hit the far corner of the net with his right foot from 14 yards on the left side of the penalty area, scoring his first league goal this season.  Then Davis fouled Cesc Fabregas, and the Dutchman was sent off with two yellow cards. Arsenal launched a massive attack, trying to reverse Tottenham in one fell swoop. They defended in front of the penalty area, but Arsenal struggled to find space to attack. In the end, Tottenham succeeded in the away game.  Hold the tie.  Arsenal is still 4 points behind Tottenham and has little hope of winning fourth place in the league. If Arsenal cannot reverse in the next two rounds, they can only guarantee to continue to qualify for the Champions League next season if they win the Champions League.  Although Fiorentina lost and Arsenal tied, the mentality of the two was completely different. All Florence's main players got a rest, the league situation was excellent, winning the championship was a matter of minutes, and Arsenal's main players at least played  In the thirty-minute motivational match, the only way to compete for the top four in the league is to hope that Tottenham can drop the chain. All hopes are pinned on winning the Champions League, which will undoubtedly make Arsenal's psychological pressure even heavier.  Arsenal's head coach Wenger is very clear about this. The Gunners have never been known for their mental toughness. They prefer to play with the wind. This is also an important reason why Arsenal has failed in the championship competition with Manchester United and Chelsea in recent seasons.  .  In order to reduce the pressure on his players, Wenger analyzed the schedules of Tottenham and Arsenal after the game and believed that Tottenham would probably only get one point in the next two games, but Arsenal would definitely win, so Arsenal wanted to participate in the next two games.  The Champions League this season is not the only path to the Champions League.  Regarding the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals at the Stadio Franchi, Wenger believes that Arsenal have a greater chance of qualifying because Fiorentina, which plays at home, lacks Champions League experience and will be under greater pressure, and Arsenal will play in the first game.  It's not good. They must win this game to advance. They have no baggage and have clear tactics. They will definitely be able to play at a higher competitive level.  Wenger wants to push the pressure to Fiorentina, and Prandelli is not stupid. Of course he will not let his players carry this pressure to play. He also uses the media to relieve the pressure on his players and let the Fiorentina players  Be able to travel lightly and play at a higher level.  Prandelli once again reiterated that Florence has two goals this season. One is to win the league, which has been basically completed. The other is to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League. This goal has also been completed. Now, whether it reaches the final or not, Florence will  Have a perfect season.  Prandelli hopes that players should not think too much about the final in Paris or the score of the last game. One is the future and the other is the past. Those are not important. The important thing is to seize the present and seize this moment.  If they defeat their opponents in a game, they will be able to advance. If they think too much and worry about gains and losses, they may miss this golden opportunity in the end.  Wenger and PlanEveryone wants to reduce the pressure on the players and let them give full play to their technical and tactical skills in the game, but in fact it is not that easy. Now that the Champions League is coming to an end, every game will cause a huge sensation, like  Arsenal and Fiorentina, two teams that have rarely reached the Champions League final in history, have even more crazy fans. In the first leg of the semi-finals, the fans of Fiorentina and Arsenal were so crazy that tickets were sold for 0 pounds each.  The Buri Stadium was still packed. For such a life-and-death battle, the fans from both sides became even more crazy. Tickets were sold for 400 pounds each. As a result, all 47UU tickets at the Frankie Stadium were sold a week ago.  All naked.  The league basically won the league and the Champions League reached the semi-finals. This is a grand occasion that Florence has not seen in decades. All Florence fans around the world hope that they can witness Florence reach the final. A week before the start of the game, there were countless fans.  People flocked to Florence, and three days before the start of the game, the hotels in Florence were overcrowded.  Arsenal is relatively taller than Fiorentina, but Arsenal's record in the Champions League has always been poor. This time it has played very well. The madness of Arsenal fans is not much worse than that of Fiorentina. Three days before the start of the game  , thousands of fans have come to Florence to support the Gunners. The day before the game, almost 3,000 fans followed Arsenal to Florence. In addition to those who have not yet arrived, Arsenal fans who went to Florence also  No less than 10,000 people.  Fans poured in crazily and the media publicity was overwhelming. In such an atmosphere, it was difficult for both the Fiorentina and Arsenal players to maintain a calm mind. When being interviewed by reporters, the players on both sides were a little excited and talked.  They are all a bit big.  Henry, the King of Highbury, performed well in the last game and scored a goal, but he was still a little unhappy at not being able to win the game. Before the start of this game, the outside world was hyping his move to Barcelona next season.  In the face of these rumors, Henry stated, "These are not true. I did not say leaving Highbury. I will not consider these things now. For me, the most important thing now is to defeat Fiorentina and enter the Champions League."  In the final, Fiorentina is a very strong team. They taught us a big lesson in the last game. However, we will not let them comfortably fight back in this game. We also have restrictions on Chen and Toni.  Their approach, as long as their luck is not too bad, we believe we will get tickets to Paris at the Stade Franchi." Arsenal's young midfield genius Cesc.  Fabregas was very unconvinced by the draw with Fiorentina in the last game. He believed that Arsenal should have won that game. Arsenal was much better overall than Fiorentina. Fiorentina was able to get a point only because of Chen Yu's explosion.  Fabregas said: "Before we played against Fiorentina, we defeated Juventus, so we underestimated Fiorentina a little. We were not as excited as Fiorentina during the game, and we were not as focused as they were on defense.  Two chances to score. This time we will not make such a mistake again. Our defense will not give Chen another chance. It is useless for Tony to play. In the Premier League, there are many forwards who are taller and stronger than Tony.  We are used to it, we are not afraid of Tony. Arsenal have done many miracles in the league. We are only short of a Champions League championship. Now is our best opportunity. We will never let the opportunity slip away from us, Fran.  The Baseball Stadium is the best stage for us to advance. "Every Arsenal player is very confident. No one takes the draw with Fiorentina at home seriously. Fiorentina is playing at home, and morale must not be weakened before the game.  They had the advantage in the first round, and their players were even more confident when talking about this game.  Fiorentina captain Chen Yu, who scored twice in the last game, said: "Arsenal is very strong, we know this very well, but they couldn't do anything to us at home. When we came to the Stadio Franchi, we waited for work.  With the support of tens of thousands of fans, we cannot lose to them. As for whether we can win and how many goals we can win, I dare not say, but I promise the fans who support us that we will not let them down."  Fiorentina center Toni, who was not able to play in the last game, is also one of the focuses this time. When being interviewed, Toni was also full of confidence in advancing. He said: "I played in the game against Siena and I feel that I have recovered well.  , I should have a chance to play in this game against Arsenal. I have a hunch that I will score. My hunch is always very accurate, but it doesn¡¯t matter whether I score or not. As long as the team can advance, we won the first round.  Very good, we will play better this round. Chen Yu is very lonely alone. I will help him. Of course, with him here, I will have many opportunities. I believe no team can prevent both of us from scoring at the same time.  "We will definitely win this game." Although the players of the two teams spoke in a high-profile manner before the game, there was no war of words. However, the fans of the two teams started fighting on the Internet as if they were fighting each other.  Crazy scolding war, British football hooligans are very famous, Italian fans are not fuel-efficient lamps, the two sides are arguing and scolding on the Internet, it is not enough.It soon developed into a fight.  The Florence police were very wary of British football hooligans and had made adequate security preparations for the numbered match. However, they did not expect that before the number arrived, fans from both sides would engage in several large-scale group fights.  This attracted the attention of the Florence police, who arrested several leading football hooligans and increased police and security the next day to ensure the smooth progress of the semi-final.  Fiorentina's outstanding record can be traced back to more than 30 years ago, which was Fiorentina's heyday. However, even at that time, Fiorentina only won two league championships and reached the Champions League final. Now, Fiorentina is close to this peak.  , and even hopefully beyond.  Great stars and achievements have always been the best media to detonate the football market. Now that Florence has both, the Florence football market has naturally become popular. Starting from the day before the game, almost every house is hanging the Florence team flag.  , the streets were filled with Fiorentina fans of all colors wearing purple jerseys, and Fiorentina's team anthem was also wafting throughout the city. It is no exaggeration to say that Florence has become a football city.  It is impossible for the Florence players not to be nervous and excited. At such a moment when history is about to be created, no player can remain calm. Originally, Florence's morning training started at nine o'clock, and the Florence players started at around eight ten.  Everyone was here, and many people even woke up excitedly at four or five o'clock in the morning.  Even Fiorentina coach Prandelli has never experienced such a battle. During training in the morning, he couldn't help but smoke a cigarette to relieve his nervousness. However, in the afternoon, Prandelli calmed down.  After coming down, when attending the pre-match press conference with Wenger, Prandelli was quite relaxed and joked with reporters, saying that he had not slept well these past few nights because of nervousness. If the game was postponed for a few more days,  God, he himself collapsed first.  And Professor Wenger is indeed a wealthy coach. His aura is much better than Prandelli, but compared with Prandelli, he is a little too serious and his words are quite satisfactory. It is not easy for reporters to make use of the topic. The game is very  As the game was about to begin, what the two head coaches said was of course not of much concern to the fans. After the streets were tightly blocked by the police, these local fans who had traveled far and wide were most keen to engage in a war of words on forums and social media.  Who wins and who loses, who is more powerful between Henry and Chen Yu, who is more powerful in the Champions League between Arsenal and Fiorentina, who has more fans and who is more charming, between the God of War Batty and Ice Prince Bergkamp  Stronger and attack each other.  Such arguments are destined to be fruitless. In reality, people who want to use fists to convince their opponents are closely monitored by the police. Fans still have to watch the performance of the players on both sides of the game until the end of the argument.  At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Stadio Franchi officially opened to fans. At this time, there were still nearly three hours before the start of the game. However, due to the great pressure from the police outside to maintain order, the club had to let the fans into the stadium in advance.  , after having them fixed in one place, it will be easier for the police and stadium security to guard against them.  Although there is more freedom outside the stadium, there are players warming up inside the stadium, and fans who arrive early and have tickets are still very willing to stay inside the stadium.  The stadium opened for just over an hour, and almost half of the fans flooded into the stadium. At this time, the players had not arrived at the stadium, but the fans were not bored. The big screen in the stadium showed the Champions League goal videos of Arsenal and Fiorentina.  , fans who don¡¯t want to watch the video can also form a group and scold the opponent fans, which will never leave them with nothing to do.  Around seven o'clock, Arsenal and Fiorentina entered the stadium one after another. At this time, two-thirds of the fans in the stands were also here. Seeing the players entering the stadium, the long-awaited fans in the stands burst into warm applause.  At this time, it was less than an hour before the game. The players' training would definitely not have much content. They would just pass the ball, shoot, shoot and catch the circle. But the fans didn't care. They just wanted to see the players and didn't care about them.  On what.  At 7:15, the commentators entered the stadium. After they entered the stadium, they introduced to the fans the football celebrities and celebrities from all walks of life who would be at the scene today. Of course, these important figures would not come in so early like the fans, but like the fans,  When famous names such as Ti and Baggio appeared, there were still warm cheers in the stands.  At this time, the commentators have already got the starting lineups of both sides of the game. Compared with the first round of the game, Arsenal made some fine adjustments in this game. This adjustment is mainly on the back line. Arsenal's main force in the first round  Left back Ashley Cole was unable to play due to injury. He was replaced by Flamini. This time Ashley Cole finally took the field.  In the central defender position, Senderos is obviously still young and inexperienced, and his turn is too slow. He was beaten by Didier Drogba in the Premier League. Now that Toni is back, Wenger dare not let him play again, so at the age of 30  veteran hurdleYou will return naturally.  Except for the back line, Wenger did not make any changes to the midfield and frontcourt, which shows that Wenger is still very confident in his midfielder and frontcourt.  There are two changes in Florence's starting lineup compared with the first game. One is that Tony, who has returned from injury, has replaced Di Natale in the starting lineup. The other is that Ujfalusi starts at right back.  Right back Maggio sat on the bench.  In this regard, Florence¡¯s commentator believes that this is because Uyfalusi¡¯s defense is stronger. Florence, which was dominant in the last game, does not need two assisting full-backs now.  Before the battle of life and death, the two head coaches unanimously adjusted the defense and strengthened the defense. It seemed to indicate that this game would not be as open and exciting as the first game, but football games are difficult to predict, although the plan is  In this way, if one side breaks the deadlock first at the beginning of the game, I'm afraid the game will immediately turn in another direction.
