Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Premier League giant Liverpool has won 17 consecutive victories on the field, but it is tortured by rumors from the outside world, while its Champions League opponent, the defending Serie A champion Fiorentina, is suffering both on and off the field.  Counting the draw with Atlanta in the 30th round, Fiorentina has tied three times in a row, losing six points in three rounds. The originally stable Champions League seat is now suddenly in crisis.  Inter Milan has been unbeaten in 30 games this round, and their lead has reached 10 points. Florence has long lost hope of defending its title. In front of Florence, Roma has three points more than Florence, but behind Florence, Lazio,  The points gap between AC Milan and Fiorentina is 4 points and 5 points respectively, both within two games. In the future, Fiorentina will have direct dialogue with Lazio and AC Milan. If Fiorentina loses, they are likely to be defeated by Lazio and AC Milan.  The top four were eliminated.  Off the court, Florence once again encountered the crisis of poaching its star. When Chen Yu was still there, all eyes were focused on Chen Yu. Everyone wanted to poach Chen Yu. After Chen Yu left, Inter Milan, AC  Milan, Bayern, Juventus, Real Madrid, these giants have all set their sights on Toni. If Fiorentina can win the Champions League this season, they may retain Toni. If they are unexpectedly blocked from the semi-finals, Toni will definitely leave.  .  The Fiorentina head coach did not mince words about this. He once told Gazzetta dello Sport, "Tony is undoubtedly our most important player, but Tony is different from Chen Yu. We cannot put all the important responsibilities on him."  , Pacini has grown up, and I think he will become as great a striker as Tony. When AC Milan wanted to poach Tony, Prandelli once said: "Gilardino and Mutu are together."  The partnership will become the best combination in Serie A. "Knowing that Mutu is now Fiorentina's second shooter, Prandelli's words will inevitably make other clubs think wildly.  Bayern chairman Rummenigge publicly confirmed in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport that they hope to get Tony: "Tony is a striker that I admire very much. I think he is very useful to us and can make Bayern better. Absolutely.  Doubtful, we are thinking of ways to bring him to Munich. "In order to attract Tony to join, Bayern offered quite generous conditions.  In addition to an annual salary of more than 5 million euros, Bayern also promised Tony that he could bring his friends to Munich for a weekend before deciding whether to come to Germany to play football.  There, Tony can not only stay in the most luxurious hotel, but also enjoy the most authentic Italian food.  All in all, as long as Tony is willing to go, he can live like a landlord in Munich for a few days.  Obviously, at the critical moment of the decisive battle with the powerful Liverpool, whether it is Tony, Prandelli, or Della Valle, they must eliminate the barriers and unite as one, so that they can reach the semi-finals. Otherwise, they will not be able to do anything in their current state.  It's impossible to beat Liverpool.  The day before the game against Liverpool, Toni implicitly rejected Bayern's invitation. He said: "In the 40-year history of the Bundesliga, you can't find any Italian player's name. Although Bavaria has the most delicious beer in the world,  But the Germans have too many rules. You cannot run a red light when crossing the road, and you must cover your yawns with your hands. It is too difficult for romantic and lazy Italians to adapt to this. " Chairman Della Valle also said,  "Tony is indispensable. He is the most comprehensive forward who can header, long-range shots, breakthroughs and passes. With him, Florence has the capital to compete with the major giants. With Chen's lessonØ­This  We will not let him leave no matter what, even if you put a mountain of gold in front of me, I will not be moved. "Facing the enemy, Fiorentina finally united, but the outside media is still not optimistic about their elimination of Liverpool.  "Gazzetta dello Sport" said: "It is more reliable to expect Fiorentina to eliminate Liverpool than to expect AC Milan to defeat Bayern Munich. This season Fiorentina sold last season's midfield core Fiore, but introduced Rivera.  Ni is more creative than him. He let go of Bodinov, who has a big temper and average strength, and bought Mutu, who is faster and can score goals and can break through. Pacini has also matured for a year, but these cannot make up for it.  The loss caused by Chen Yu's departure is that with Chen Yu present, Fiorentina is the favorite for the championship. Regardless of the league or the Champions League, without Chen Yu, Fiorentina can only compete for the Champions League seats in the league, and it is even more tragic in the Champions League.  Yes, Chen Yu happened to be in the opponent's formation of Florence. For Florence, this is the relationship between them minus one and the opponent plus one. It is extremely difficult to advance. A victory is already a success. "With Liverpool and Liverpool.  Fiorentina is divided into one and a half zones with Chelsea and Valencia, so in addition to paying attention to Valencia's game, the Spanish media also pays close attention to the game between Liverpool and Fiorentina.  "Daily Sports" believes that with Florence's state this season, reaching the quarter-finals is a success. After all, the previous defending champion Liverpool did not even make it to the quarter-finals. Now that Florence meets Liverpool, even if it is eliminated, it will be a success.?What a shame.  The Hesi newspaper said: "Fiorentina has little hope of advancing, but as a Spaniard, I prefer that Fiorentina upset, so that if Valencia eliminates Chelsea, there is still hope of reaching the final." English media eliminated in Liverpool  After the last runner-up Barcelona, ??they no longer look down on the champion Fiorentina who lost Chen Yu, and they all believe that Liverpool will definitely eliminate Fiorentina.  England's "The Times" pre-match analysis said: "Prandelli is known for his changeable formation style, but his style of play around Toni in the center and supplemented by wing support will not change. He will control the front.  Play the ball, wait for the midfielder to press forward and pass the attack; when attacking, Mutu and Pacini on both wings assist Tony. Tony can often contain the opponent's two defenders. On the one hand, he can score goals, and on the other hand, he can also help the opponent.  Teammates create space on the outside. In addition, left back Pasquier is an "invisible attack point". He has excellent speed, dribbling, defense, and a first-class cross. However, Liverpool is not afraid of tall forwards.  It is difficult for Chelsea's monster Drogba to break through Liverpool's defense, and Tony can only look at Liverpool's goal. In terms of midfield competition, Fiorentina's Liverani is very creative, and Santana is good at crossing.  Nader is both offensive and defensive. Florence's lineup currently has two flaws. One is that the midfield is not strong enough, and the other is that the impact and long-range shooting ability are insufficient. Liverpool's three midfielders are all good at offense and defense, and they are full of impact.  In comparison, Fiorentina is a notch behind in terms of goalkeeper and defense, there is not much difference between Frey and Reina, and in the defense, Agger and Carragher are obviously better than Kroldrup and Gambelli.  Nigeria is more dominant. Comparing the three lines, Liverpool is stronger than Fiorentina. Coupled with Chen Yu's terrifying goal efficiency, even at home, Fiorentina has little hope of winning unless Chen Yu faces his old club.  "Be merciful." Although the "Daily Mail" believes that Liverpool's advancement is bright, it warned Liverpool not to be careless. "Although Fiorentina performed magically last season and became the double champion of Serie A and the Champions League, their core Chen Yu has failed.  After arriving at Liverpool, they are no longer comparable to Liverpool in terms of strength, and their form is far inferior to Liverpool. However, Liverpool cannot be careless. After all, Fiorentina knows Chen Yu too well. If Chen Yu is seen dead or is in poor form, Liverpool wants to advance.  "The Guardian" said: "The biggest highlight of this game is not who will win the game, but Chen Yu facing his old club. Chen Yu has become the best player in the world.  How he will perform against his old club and how Fiorentina fans will treat him are matters that fans all over the world are very concerned about. However, as a professional player, Chen Yu will definitely not be emotional.  , He will not go on a killing spree on the court where he has been fighting for four years. It is estimated that Liverpool will draw or win slightly in the first round on the road. "Facing the unanimous optimism from the outside world, Liverpool's head coach Benitez was a little flattered.  After all, the opponent was the defending champion. He gave his players a vaccination before the game: "Don't take the reporters' words too seriously. No opponent is easy to beat. PSV didn't eliminate Arsenal, and Valencia didn't.  We defeated Inter Milan, who were undefeated in 30 games. Our opponent was the last Champions League champion, but the media regarded them as a second-rate team. Even if Chen Yu is great, we cannot belittle Fiorentina so much. We must be cautious, in the away game  We must go all out so that we can get good results.  " Chen Yu was also upset that the media looked down on Fiorentina before the game. "I believe that the reporters who said that Liverpool can easily beat Fiorentina have not seriously watched the Fiorentina game. They are by no means a team that can be easily defeated.  Coach Landry is very good. Even if it is an ordinary team, he can build a strong team. The Italians' defensive awareness is infiltrated into their blood. Even if you are stronger than them, you may not be able to  Defeat them. Just look at last year's World Cup and you will understand how terrible the Italian team is. I think it will be a tough battle at the Stadio Franchi. It is possible to win, draw or lose.  " After winning the double championship last season, Fiorentina has returned to the peak of 40 years ago, which has also inspired the players and fans to have a sense of honor. They all regard themselves as the same giants as the Milan duo, and are now being criticized by the media.  Such underestimation inspired the fighting spirit of Florence generals and fans. Prandelli said before the game without being humble or arrogant: "Liverpool is stronger than us, but we also have opportunities. We have played against strong teams many times in the past few seasons and accumulated a lot.  Experience, knowing how to deal with them, playing host first and then guest is a bit disadvantageous, but nothing is impossible. I believe we have at least a 50% chance of advancing.  " Fiorentina's core Tony said: "I know that the outside world is not optimistic about us, but only after playing can we know who is better. Liverpool has Chen Yu, which will bring great trouble to our defense. However, I  I believe we can guard him.  "The core of the defense, Gambellini, is full of expectations for the game, "It is not a good draw to draw Liverpool, but it is alsoThis opportunity, we have been teammates with Chen Yu before, now my teammates and I can finally compete with the world's best striker for real.  ¡± The game is about to start, and the remarks of the media and the generals of the two teams have greatly aroused the emotions of the fans of both sides. On the Internet, fans of both sides also launched a fierce war of words. In reality, the tickets for this game have long been sold out.  It was sold out, and an ordinary seat sold for 500 euros on the black market, which exceeded the price of the game between Milan and Bayern, which shows the fans' expectations for this battle.
