Chapter 50: The Two Teams of Brothers and Sisters
This is the first time Chen has been involved in a crucial game, and both Roma and Fiorentina are very serious about this game, as it could determine who goes to the Europa League and who qualifies for the Champions League. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Pazienza was very dissatisfied, he was not satisfied that he had become a substitute, and let Chen Yier start to replace his midfielder position, he was the main midfielder at the beginning of the season, and he never changed, he didn't know if Prandelli knew the importance of this game.
Prandelli certainly knows the importance of this match, not just for the places, but also for the tangible stakes involved, including the top four of the league, the broadcast fee for next season according to the rankings, and the tempting Champions League cake, because reaching the group stage from the qualifying stage means at least 10 million euros.
Finishing fourth is a necessity both individually and as a team, but luckily neither team is in great form, Fiorentina are physically and mentally exhausted by tight competition, and the only good news may be that Toney can score again.
Roma has more time in the game, but there are big "flaws" in the lineup, Roma is a strong team, which is undoubted, but in the New Year, this team has "attrition".
Injuries to Montella, Totti, De Rossi and Zivu have left Roma in distress, while Alvarez was also unable to attend Fiorentina due to injury in the previous round against Fiorentina.
However, this smaller and smaller squad coped with 22 games and 1,890 minutes, including 14 league games (11 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss), 4 Coppa Italia games (2 wins, 2 losses) and 4 UEFA Cup games (3 wins and 1 loss).
Just looking at the league results, Roma has 35 points, AC Milan has 33 points, Juventus has 32, Inter Milan has 27, and Fiorentina has only 24, which makes people have to admire this team that is not forgiving.
During this period, Spalletti shared 23 players, with the exception of Rossi, Okaka, Greg and Cerci, who had relatively little time for the four youth teams, and 12 of them spent more than half of their playing time.
Of the 12, the hardest working was Mex, who ran on the field for 1,874 minutes. Mexes is also a key target for French coach Domenech.
Domenech travelled to Turin himself on Saturday at Juventus, and he will also be present at Fiorentina this Sunday. Behind the Frenchman, Perrotta is in second place, with a total of 1,775 minutes played in all competitions, of which 1,223 minutes in the league are the longest.
Roberto Mancini has 1,715 minutes and is in third place. Even Bovo, who is the fourth central defender, played 1,069 minutes after the New Year. With seven league games and at least one Coppa Italia game to go, Spalletti can count on these guys.
Alvarez strained his left thigh in Turin and will have to rest for at least 10 days, with Fiorentina and Lecce unable to play and perhaps missing the Coppa Italia on 12 April, who will have to be replaced by Rossi this Sunday.
Until Monday, De Rossi had just removed the bandages and thrown away his crutches and didn't really train, so the midfielder was Daku's. He was kicked in the thigh last Saturday, but it didn't affect Daku much.
Fiorentina are in the face of Roma and the fans are not idle.
No fewer than 3,000 Roma fans are expected to come to the stadium, but Fiorentina are only willing to give 2,500 tickets and stipulate that Roma without tickets are not allowed near the stadium.
At train stations and toll booths, the police have also increased their manpower to prevent disturbances by Roma fans. Fiorentina will travel to Juventus immediately after this head-to-head meeting, while Roma take on Lecce, with the only tough game coming to AC Milan in the final round on 14 May.
Fiorentina have played one less home game than Roma in the six league games since the conversation, which is also a disadvantage. However, Roma will play one more Coppa Italia, and this Monday, the schedule for the second leg of the quarterfinals is out: on April 11, Udinese will face Inter; On 12 April, Roma faced Palermo.
Faced with such a situation, Prandelli knows that if this game cannot be won, then one can only hope that Roma will be dragged down by the two-front battle, after all, the next game (referring only to the league. Rome is easier.
At the press conference, Prandelli's firm and powerful voice resounded throughout the room: "If we can't finish fourth, we can only say that Roma is overperforming. ”
Not to be outdone, Roma coach Luciano Spalletti said: "We need to play well in the game to get a point," Spalletti said in an interview, "This is the basis of our battle, but we have to always be calm in the game, don't mess with ourselves, the worst thing is that we are too nervous." ”
Fiorentina and Roma are currently fourth in the Serie A standings with 60 points, and the race for the final Champions League ticket is heating up, and this head-to-head clash between the two teams in Tuscany will undoubtedly be decisive.
Spalletti also knows this, "It's an important game, but it's not a final. If we lose, the gap will widen to three points and it will be very difficult to qualify for next season's title. ”
Prandelli is confident that the team will win, while Spalletti has stated that the minimum standard for the team is a draw, and that the main focus of this game will be Donadale, and what Chen needs to do is to be a defensive midfielder.
In the team's locker room, Chen Yier closed his eyes and began to ponder, in fact, the current Chen Yier has drilled the tip of the horns, including Prandelli, the defensive back is the "old thing", and the popular back is an organizational back.
For example, AC Milan's Andrea Pirlo began to play as an organizational midfielder in the 02/03 season and helped the team win the Champions League trophy.
(Typical example of a playmaker's midfielder: Schweinsteiger of Bayern Munich; Andrea Pirlo of Juventus; Xavi in Barcelona; Cesc Fabregas at Chelsea. )
The Stade Franci was packed with Fiorentina fans, roaring loudly and cheering on the team, and the Roma fans were not to be outdone, they all understood the importance of this game, and although most of the fans were driven out of the stadium, the Roma fans were still very loud.
Prandelli stood on the sidelines and sighed, there are too few characters to use in the back, Pazienza will have to stay to face Juventus in the next game, and this Fiorentina although the slogan before the opening is loud, but in fact, it is mainly to keep the draw.
After all, if you win this game and lose the game against Juventus, then the victory is meaningless, not to mention that Prandelli has no confidence to win at all? Although Rome is "crippled, it is still not to be underestimated!"
