Florence, the city in the former China also has another very beautiful name - "Fei Leng Cui". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As the capital of Tuscany, Florence is located in a basin in the western foothills of the middle of the Apennines, and is the birthplace of the European Renaissance and a world-famous cultural tourist destination.

The city of 440,000 is proud of its world-famous cultural landscape and the Fiorentina team, which the locals consider to be the best.

The "Purple Lily" is the comfort of the Florentine people, and Gabriel Batistuta, who makes the "Purple Lily" bloom with the fragrance of flowers, is the real "God of War" in the hearts of the Florentine people.

In 1991, at the age of 22, Barty joined Serie A, which was known as the "world's first league" and "mini-World Cup", after leading the Argentine national team to win the Copa America, and Fiorentina was his destination.

After joining Fiorentina, Batistuta quickly showed his quality, quickly becoming the team's top scorer and making a name for himself in Serie A, but unfortunately Fiorentina fell into internal and external troubles in the 92-93 season, and eventually they were relegated to the second division in 93.

At that time, the star-studded Fiorentina team was on the verge of collapse and many star players fled the city, but Batistuta chose to stay, and even turned down offers from many big clubs, including AC Milan, Inter Milan and Manchester United, and insisted on staying in Fiorentina, even having to cut his salary for this. Barty's move touched all the Fiorentina fans, as well as many young players, who eventually chose to stay with Barty in Fiorentina, who were relegated to the second division.

A year later, Florence returned to Serie A as the second division champion and gradually became a team with the potential to win the Serie A title.

In 1996, after winning the Serie A FA Cup and the Super Cup for Fiorentina, excited Fiorentina fans paid out of their own pockets to erect a bronze statue of Batistuta in the city of Florence.

However, although with the gradual growth of Batty, Fiorentina has played better and better in Serie A, but the team is still a long way from the league title, and compared with other teams with the support of major consortiums such as AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Roma, Lazio and other teams, Florence is much worse than these teams in terms of squad depth and team management.

Fiorentina, who are in a group with Arsenal, Barcelona and AIK Solna in Sweden, are the second team in this group, and although they are well-known in the Premier League compared to the emerging Arsenal club, Fiorentina are a notch higher than Arsenal due to the Premier League ban (the cause of the Heysel tragedy), and in this era, although Serie A is in decline, it is still more well-known than the Premier League.

Arsenal and Florentine are in Group E is also the more famous group of death in the first leg of the Champions League group stage, Barcelona's strength is undoubted, and the remaining place is the only place that Fiorentina and Arsenal are fighting for, so the first leg between the two teams will be extremely important, if anyone can win this game, it means who will get the first opportunity.

In order to prepare for this game, the Arsenal team came to Florence three days in advance to adapt to the venue, too late to visit this famous cultural capital, Liu Han and the players of the Arsenal team are engaged in intense preparations, as the second time to participate in the Champions League in the nineties, although the Arsenal team has little experience, but Wenger is very confident, he wants to make the Arsenal team a blockbuster in this Champions League.

In order to let Wenger ensure the efficiency of this game, Liu Han did not play in the seventh round of the Premier League home game against Aston Villa, although Liu Han said that his physical strength is absolutely up to par, but Liu Han, who played the whole game in the last round and scored the equalizer in injury time of the game, was still firmly pressed on the bench by Wenger.

For the opponent of this game, although Liu Han does not know much, but Wenger is very familiar, in order to prepare for this game, Wenger has already watched all the games of Fiorentina last season and this season in advance, and Wenger still attaches great importance to the strength of the opponent.

However, Arsene Wenger seems to be very confident in this game, and his confidence comes from Liu Han.

Although Liu Han has only adapted to the Arsenal team's attacking system so far and has not yet fully integrated into the system, Wenger feels that Liu Han's type of striker is a nightmare for Serie A defenders.

Undaunted physique, reflexes and agility, coupled with unconventional ideas and a brilliant ball quotient, Liu Han is very restrained in every sense of the word, with these defenders in Serie A who are known for their chain defense and experience.

Arsenal's preparation has been rich and aggressive, but their opponents have not taken Arsenal too seriously.

For the Italian team, although their defense is more worried about the Premier League, which is a fierce team, but because the Premier League team has gradually begun to emerge in the European arena in recent years, coupled with the consistent rough style of the Premier League team, it can be said that the Italian team participating in the Champions League is not too worried about this game as long as it does not meet a team like Manchester United, so the Fiorentina team actually does not pay much attention to the Arsenal team, although they have heard that the Arsenal team now has a very good center forward, And he used to be a basketball superstar, which attracted some attention from Florence, but it was not taken too seriously, according to the words of Batistuta, who had received basketball training before, basketball and football are two completely different sports, and there can be no similarity, Batistuta was selected for the Argentine national youth basketball team that year, and he is very similar to Liu Han in this regard.

Arsenal's first Champions League match of the season will be played at the Frankie Stadium, a stadium with a capacity of nearly 50,000 fans with less than 1,000 tickets open to British fans, but it is not the Fiorentina club that blames the door, but the name of the English football hooligan is really too famous, and all the European competitions that the Premier League teams participate in are one level higher in the stadium than in other competitions.

After Liu Han stepped into this stadium, in addition to the purple in the sky, there was also the lily team emblem, which would be his first appearance in the European arena, and Liu Han felt that he should leave a more profound image on everyone. (To be continued.) )
