On the evening of September 29, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce.

The stands at Frankie Stadium were overcrowded, and suddenly there were fans in the east stands, and the stadium security personnel immediately went to control the fire, and a puff of smoke blew onto the stadium as if it were a thick fog.

Liverpool and Fiorentina players stood at the exit of the players' tunnel, and after the players saw the smoke blowing on the field, Torres stood beside Qin Xiong and asked: "This kind of visibility won't affect the game, right?" ”

Qin Xiong shrugged and did not answer.

Many of the players in the Fiorentina squad heard Torres's words, and they smiled, not disdainful, but with a faint mockery.

Youngster Jovetic said to Torres: "It's okay, the smoke will clear soon, we're used to it." ”

Torres then understood what the smiles of many Fiorentina players meant.

Probably to ridicule him for not seeing the world!

Fireworks in the stands are a common occurrence in Italy, where Italian fans sometimes want to cause riots that are beyond the reach of fans from other countries, but this is also the home of the mafia.

Torres nodded at Jovetic with a serious expression, then secretly clenched his fists.

The hiccup in the stands ended quickly.

The players of both teams walked into the stadium with their heads held high, and the magnificent Champions League theme song began to reverberate in the stadium.

"The much-anticipated Champions League has started again, the second round of the Champions League group stage of the new season is coming as scheduled, and today at the Frankie Stadium, Fiorentina at home welcomes the challenge of Premier League giants Liverpool.

The first game of the group stage. Liverpool slaughtered Di Biseni 8-0. Fiorentina suffered a 1-0 defeat to Lyon. Although this is only the second game of the group stage, the absence is crucial for Fiorentina.

They will certainly be hoping to level Liverpool with a win at home, but Liverpool will certainly be hoping to send Fiorentina two defeats in a row to secure their lead.

Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

Fiorentina started 4231.

Goalkeeper: Frey.

Defenders: Boratti, Natali, Krodrup, Gobby.

Midfielders: Marchioni, Montolivo, Jovetic. Silvestri, Vargas.

Striker: Gilardino.

Liverpool started 4231.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Aurelio.

Midfielders: Kuyt, Alonso, Gerrard, Mascherano, Qin Xiong.

Forward: Fernando Torres.

The pre-match kick-off ceremony has been completed, and Fiorentina will be the first to kick off at home. Let's enjoy this big battle to the fullest. ”

The game began in the deafening hustle and bustle of the Frankie Stadium, and Fiorentina had just started cautiously. Don't dare to throw too many troops into the offensive.

Jovetic seemed to be a little intimidated after being blocked by Mascherano and Alonso in attack, and only dared to interact with his teammates with passes, rather than dribbling rashly.

Liverpool, on the other hand, continued to use Qin Xiong as the offensive acceleration point to launch the offensive.

In the 5th minute of the game, Qin Xiong received a direct pass from Aurelio on the left side of the front field and suddenly turned to the middle.

It's no secret that he has a habit of cross-cutting dribbling, and due to Jovetic's slow return, Qin Xiong is presented with only Fiorentina's two midfielders defending.

Montolivo is a playmaker at the back, while Silvestri is a full-back and is playing as a backfield to strengthen the defensive toughness.

The two obviously lacked tacit understanding, and they actually rushed towards Qin Xiong together!

Seeing this, Qin Xiong secretly said in his heart: Too young!

Montolivo and Silvestri rushed at him with a seemingly ferocious charge.

Qin Xiong fearlessly dribbled horizontally, and when the three of them were about to meet, Qin Xiong suddenly kicked the ball into the gap between the two.

Then he changed direction and rushed past the left side of Montolivo's body, and after the two passed by, Montolivo suddenly stopped, and then looked back, the large area vacated on the right side in front of the penalty area not only had the football rolling, but also Qin Xiong rushed over to regain control of the football.

Maybe in the face of most Italian teams, this kind of defense is not too much of a problem, but in the face of Qin Xiong, who is "rampaged" and not only has superb ball control skills, but also has an absolute advantage in explosive acceleration, such a defense is simply weak!

At the same time that Qin Xiong rushed to the right area in front of the penalty area, he already had the opportunity to shoot, but he did not choose to shoot, because the Fiorentina defenders were moving to the right side, so Qin Xiong decisively sent a pass of the reverse cutting line and stuffed the ball straight to the left side of the penalty area!

Torres happened to run the opposite line from central defender Natali, which made him already diagonally towards the goal to form a one-handed ball in the penalty area when he received Qin Xiong's through ball!

The stout goalkeeper Frei dropped out of the goal, and Torres chose to shoot the inside of the far post at that moment!

The shot football looked like Frey was powerless, but due to the footwork control problem of the shooting, the football did not produce enough internal rotation, and finally the football slid out!

“OMG！ Torres almost broke the goal, Qin Xiong's breakthrough and through ball were just right, Gerrard's forward insertion formed a cover for Torres, Qin Xiong's through ball was too hidden! It's a pity Liverpool didn't take their chances. ”

Torres turned around and gave Qin Xiong a thumbs up after missing a chance.

In any case, he had to praise Qin Xiong's pass, there was no problem, it was perfect, but he didn't grasp it.

Qin Xiong smiled at Torres as he retreated, and drew his index finger, which means: 1 time!

In training, Qin Xiong joked to Torres: If you squander three shots in a row, sorry, then I'll do it myself!

Torres smiled when he saw Qin Xiong's fingers, and then his expression became more serious.

He didn't take Qin Xiong's words as a joke, as a world-class striker, it would be a shame to miss opportunities one after another, and he didn't have to wait for his teammates to take his place and deprive him of the right to fire.

Fiorentina also went on the offensive as soon as they got into the rhythm, and in the eighth minute, teenager Jovetic fired an incredible long-range shot from 35 yards out.

The ball barely spins in a parabola, and the trajectory lands on the right side of the Liverpool goal.

Fortunately, the distance was far enough, and the trajectory of the football was not particularly erratic, and the concentrated Reina pounced horizontally to hold the ball!

"Fiorentina's Jovetic was very active today, his long-range shots are of extremely high quality, if the angle is more tricky, I'm afraid Reina will be caught off guard, whether he can protect the gate is not lost, but it will definitely cause him big problems, it is impossible to hold the ball in his arms!"
