PS: In the new week, I would like to ask you for a recommendation ticket here......

Despite being scored three goals in the first half, the Athletic Bilbao players showed no intention of giving up on the game, and under the leadership of Guerreiro, the heart of the team, they continued to attack the door of Fiorentina in an attempt to maintain their dignity as masters at the San Mamés stadium.

However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny. Although Athletic Bilbao, as the runner-up of La Liga last season, has a very good starting lineup, like many teams that have been short-lived in a certain season, the strength of their main squad is not inferior to those giants, but when you look at the depth and hardness of the bench, it is no different from tofu scum, and it can't cope with the situation of multi-front battles at all. If you have to go hand in hand with both European and domestic competitions, then the end of these teams is often quite miserable.

The most typical is Zhuang Mingge's previous team Celta, who won the fourth place in La Liga in the 02-03 season, and although they reached the top 16 of the Champions Cup in the following season, they were miserable in the league, and they were directly relegated at the end of the season!

As a result, in the case of the overall strength and the individual strength of the players, the Fiorentina players not only did not give the Basque lion any chance to turn the tables in the second half of the game, but also took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's big pressure to use a quick counterattack to sneak attack again!

In the end, Fiorentina beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 away and topped the group stage of this season's Champions League with two wins!

Fiorentina then returned to Italy to welcome their first home game in five games four days later, this time against Udinese, who lost a number of key players including Bierhoff and the team's manager in the summer transfer window.

On the 4th of October, Fiorentina, who finally returned to the Frankie Arena, welcomed Udinese. With a Champions League tie against Athletic Bilbao in midweek, Capello decided to rotate his starting line-up, replicating the same one he used against AC Milan a week earlier.

Goalkeeper Toldo, Robert Carlos and Madavecchia split between the left and right, Stam and Materazzi continued to partner in the starting centre-back, Gattuso, Zanetti and Pirlo formed the midfield, and Di Natale, Ronaldo and Ljungberg formed Fiorentina's attacking trident up front.

As for Udinese, after losing Bierhoff, Hellwig and other big players this summer, the elder Pozzo bought Argentine striker Roberto Sosa as a stand-in for the German center, and at the same time brought in Morten Bisgaard, who is imposing in Denmark, and also hired Decanio to replace Zaccheroni as the head coach.

Although Fiorentina have a number of young players in their starting line-up, many are confident that the Purple Lilies will win. On the one hand, it is because Capello's lineup has been verified by AC Milan in actual combat, and its strength has been recognized by the public; On the other hand, because Udinese has suffered heavy losses in terms of personnel, its strength has been greatly affected.

However, the course of the race was clearly not as smooth as one might expect. Because the newly appointed Decanio, after retaining Zaccheroni's part of the offensive legacy, has systematically sorted out Udinese's defensive system, the defense of the black chicken is no longer as porous as it was in the Zaccheroni era.

Facing a Udinese team that has learned how to defend, Fiorentina's players looked a little lacking in the game, Ronaldo's breakthrough was still sharp, but Di Natale and Ljungberg were all lost in Udinese's defensive system, leaving the aliens in a difficult situation to fight alone in this game.

Thankfully, Udinese, who have lost Bierhoff, are also facing some problems in attack, with the trident of Poggi in a bit of a slump this season, while Amoruso and Roberto Sousa have not yet formed a tacit understanding and are in separate positions, making it impossible for the visitors to tear apart Fiorentina's defence and score.

In this way, with the attacking players of both sides falling into a slump at the same time, the two teams kept the score 0-0 for most of the game.

"The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game! Now Fiorentina fans can finally enjoy a weekend in peace! With Materazzi's header from Andrea Pirlo's corner kick in the 69th minute, Fiorentina defeated Udinese 1-0 at home and won two consecutive league wins! The Purple Lilies are currently tied for second place in the league table with Juventus with nine points from three wins and one loss, while Inter Milan is at the top of the table, with the Nerazzurri currently leading the table by one point. ”

After the end of this round of the league, the national team once again began to issue a call-up order for players. Over the next week, the national teams in Europe will be battling it out for a place in the European Championship finals.

Vieri, Nesta and seven other players reported to Maldini Sr., and Di Natale was also very frustrated that he was not called up by the Italian national team this time. In addition to this, Hyypia rushed to Finland, Stam to Amsterdam, Ljungberg to Sweden, and Volger to Switzerland...... Under the call of the coaches of various national teams, the training grounds of the Fiorentina first team were suddenly vacated, and only a few people such as De Sanctis remained in the training base to train with the Fiorentina coaching staff.

As for Effenberg, who had been rejected by the national team for the past four years, because the former German national team coach Vogts was dismissed after the World Cup in France due to poor results, the new coach Ribbeck decisively revoked the ban on Effenberg in order to achieve a good result in the European Championship two years later, and extended an olive branch to the tiger to return to the national team.

However, the Tiger has rejected the old coach's kindness - his own family knows his own affairs, and Effenberg knows that he can still be domineering on the court, but it is obviously impossible to maintain a high level of performance in the national team and club at the same time.

So, after thinking about it for a summer, Eeffenberg decided to continue withdrawing from the national team and dedicating himself to playing for the club - a fool can see that the tiger does not want to wade into this troubled water; Again. Fiorentina remained steadfast in the toughest period of his career, and he didn't want to hurt the club for the sake of the national team, and although his personality was a little hotter, Effenberg was not an ungrateful man.

Although many German fans regret the Tiger's decision, it is only a regret, after all, Eeffenberg has not appeared in the national team in the past four years, so this time most fans should have the status quo.

So, in the midst of a cry of regret in world football, Effenberg announced his retirement from the German national team!
