    If the attention of fans all over the world is drawn to the Champions League on April 11, then at least two-thirds of the attention is focused on the game between Bayern and AC Milan in Munich, and only 30% is on the battle between Liverpool and Fiorentina.  fans and media attention.  In the first leg of the quarter-finals, Bayern drew with Milan in the away game, and Liverpool drew with Fiorentina in the away game. Although the situation of the four teams seems to be very similar, because of Liverpool's strength ratio  Fiorentina is ahead of the competition, and Bayern and Milan are equally powerful, so Liverpool's promotion is basically not a big problem, but Bayern and Milan will definitely be a fierce battle. It's hard to say who will win. Coupled with the strong appeal of Milan and Bayern, the fans  It makes sense that the media would pay more attention to this game.  Other fans paid attention to the match between Milan and Bayern because of the suspense, but the fans of Liverpool and Fiorentina put all their thoughts on the match between Florence and Liverpool.  Before six o'clock in the evening, the stands of the famous Anfield stadium were already full. Liverpool's die-hard fans decorated the hell stadium Anfield with banners and slogans, as if they were celebrating the New Year. Some fans even hid  Some fireworks entered the stadium just to celebrate after the victory.  The on-site commentator also came to the stadium early. He was in an extremely relaxed mood today because he was confident enough that Liverpool would advance.  "The game is about to start. Everyone knows the result of the last game, 3 to 3. Chen Yu scored three goals alone and performed a hat trick. Unfortunately, the defense was not very strong and was equalized by Florence in the end. Otherwise, in the third  There is no need to play the second game. Even if Fiorentina barely equalized the score in the first game, they will definitely not be able to pass this level now, because this is Anfield" When the commentator said that this is Anfield,  With eyes full of enthusiasm and reverence, Anfield is like a magical spell that can make people excited, confident and even crazy.  In fact, when the Fiorentina players walked onto the court from the locker room, the words "This is Anfield" written in the tunnel brought a lot of psychological pressure to the Fiorentina players. They felt that a wealthy club like Liverpool  He is domineering and full of doubts about whether he can conquer Anfield Stadium.  When the Fiorentina and Liverpool players came out of the mixed tunnel with their ball boys, a thunderous cheer rang out in their ears. The sound was so loud that even the Fiorentina players who were accustomed to big scenes were eclipsed.  Compared with Frenkie Stadium, Anfield Stadium is much larger and has many more fans. The momentum is also difficult to compare with Frenkie Stadium.  Of course, Liverpool players have no strange feelings. In addition to joy, there is also a little excitement. Every time at this moment, they will feel a sense of pride and feel proud to be a part of Liverpool. Here,  They have maintained a season-long unbeaten record, and now, this unbeaten record seems to be continuing. In this regard, every Liverpool player has enough confidence.  Since Fiorentina was tied 3 by Liverpool at home in the first game, considering that it is almost impossible to draw more than 3, Fiorentina must win in the away game to advance, so Prandelli's starting position in this game has nothing to do with the home game.  The difference is that offense is still the main focus and defense is the supplement.  The striker is still a combination of Tony and Mutu, the midfielder also has two defensive midfielders Pacenza and Donadale, and two offensive midfielders Liverani and Montolivo. However, in terms of positioning, Liverani  The position is no longer behind the two forwards, serving as the attacking midfielder, but Pacenza and Donadale are in front of the central defender, while Liverani and Montolivo are on both sides, and Mutu's position is slightly deeper.  , behind Tony, this can better utilize Mutu's speed and assault ability.  In the defense, Ujfalusi, Gambellini, Dainelli, Pasquale are still the most stable, and the goalkeeper is still Frey.  Today Liverpool only needs a draw to advance. Their starting lineup has changed a lot compared to the first game. The forwards are Chen Yu and Bellamy, a combination of two fast horses, and Chen Yu also has a lot of talents.  Good grabbing points and aerial control ability.  In the midfield, Benitez arranged a combination of Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano and Pennant. This combination is definitely the most suitable for counterattacks. Gerrard and Mascherano  It has impact, Pennant is good at passing from the bottom, and Alonso's long pass is unique in the Premier League. With such a midfield combination, Florence will never dare to press forward easily when attacking.  In the defense, Benitez is more stable, with Riise and Finnan on both sides, Agger and Carragher in the middle, and goalkeeper Reina is the last line of defense.  This combination can be said to be Liverpool's strongest defensive counterattack combination. Seeing this lineup compiled by Liverpool, Prandelli frowned tightly. He could see Benitez's purpose from this starting lineup.  , will never just want to maintain a draw, they definitely want to use goals to seal the victory and not letAny accident happens.  Fiorentina¡¯s assistant coach Gabriel.  Ping said in Prandelli's ear: "Liverpool's starting lineup is very fast. We can't give them too much space in the backcourt." Prandelli sighed and said: "Now we have no control over the initiative.  In their hands." Gabriel.  Pingdao: "We must learn from the lessons of yesterday's Eindhoven. We must never let them start a counterattack, otherwise Chen's efficiency will scare people to death." Prandelli sighed again, but stopped talking, because  He has said everything that needs to be said. The initiative is in the hands of the opponent. They have no other choice but to attack. As long as they attack, it is impossible not to leave any space for the opponent. All he can do is try his best to balance offense and defense.  .  The visiting team Fiorentina kicked off first. Although they were tied by Liverpool at home, Fiorentina did not feel too timid because they were the equalizer in the end. After the opening, the attack in the midfield and frontcourt was very sharp.  There was no scruple, but Florence's back line received repeated instructions from Prandelli before the game and did not dare to step forward rashly.  Liverpool¡¯s goal today is clear. If they have the chance, they will hit Florence with a quick counterattack. If they don¡¯t have the chance, they will strangle Florence in the midfield and backcourt.  However, after playing for a few minutes, Chen Yu discovered that Florence's striker, midfielder, and back line were a little out of touch. Chen Yu had stayed in Florence for five years, and he immediately realized that this was because his former teammates were not unified in their thinking and were not brave enough to attack in the midfield and frontcourt.  It's too big, and the defense is too afraid of the counterattack from itself and Bellamy, so that between the three lines, the midfielder and the forward are too close, and the midfielder and the backline are too far apart.  Such an opportunity would not last long. Although Prandelli's on-the-spot reaction was not as quick as Mourinho's, it was still good. Of course, Chen Yu would not miss this opportunity. He immediately made a bold move forward, in Florence's midfield  Traveling between defenders.  Although Bellamy did not have Chen Yu's keen observation skills, nor did Chen Yu have the unique advantage of being familiar with the playing style of Florence players, he trusted Chen Yu and was willing to cooperate with Chen Yu in fighting. When he saw Chen Yu advance into that position, he  He also has the consciousness to push forward and move between the defender and the midfielder.  The coaches' command lagged behind the game. It was less than five minutes into the game. Prandelli saw that the distance between the midfield and the back line was a bit wide, but he did not react yet. He waited for Chen Yu and Bellamy.  When everyone was moving into this space, it was already too late for him to shout again. Liverpool's midfield trio were all players with good overall vision and vision. Seeing that his teammates had occupied a favorable position, they just grabbed the ball.  After receiving the ball, Alonso immediately made a long pass to find Chen Yu.  Bellamy was unmarked, and Chen Yu was followed by Gamberini, but Alonso still chose to pass the ball to Chen Yu. This was not just because Chen Yu was good at heading the ball. Alonso believed that his opponent would double-team Chen Yu.  Yu, and Chen Yu can handle the ball well. As long as Chen Yu passes the ball to Bellamy, Bellamy will have a chance to shoot. If it is passed to Bellamy, even if Bellamy can stop the ball, it will attract  Without the strength of defense, it would be difficult to break through the well-positioned Florence defender by relying on Bellamy's breakthrough ability alone.  Alonso is known as Liverpool's midfield brain for no reason. This pass is full of wisdom. When the ball flew towards Chen Yu, Dainelli was worried that Gamberini could not guard Chen Yu. He immediately  Come and answer.  Gamberini saw that he could not get the landing spot before Chen Yu, but he jumped closely next to Chen Yu and hugged Chen Yu with his arms in the air. Gamberini knew Chen Yu's strength too well.  , he would rather take the card than give Chen Yu a chance to get rid of him.  But Chen Yu also knew his former teammate very well and knew that he could not get rid of it. He directly headed the ball and passed it to Bellamy, who was unmarked. Bellamy stopped the ball on his chest and dribbled the ball directly along the ribs.  Cut into the restricted area.  From Alonso's sudden counterattack with a long pass, to Chen Yu's header, to Bellamy stopping the ball and entering the penalty area, the time it took was less than two seconds. It was definitely a lightning counterattack.  The fans and commentators at the scene did not react. The fans stared in amazement at Bellamy who was rushing towards the penalty area at high speed. Their minds went blank. At this time, the commentators could only shout the two words "danger" and "opportunity".  .  Benitez and Prandelli standing on the sidelines were also stunned. Benitez saw his opponent's flaw, and Prandelli saw his own flaw, but neither of them had time to react. At this time, it was the players' fault.  Quality changes the dynamics of the game.
