Regardless of whether there are other small calculations in his heart, in the case of extreme dissatisfaction with the manager, Rivaldo can still have this kind of thought, it can be said that he is very concerned about the overall situation. You know, in this day and age, stars of Rivaldo's caliber are very individual. Therefore, when some reasonable demands made by them are rejected by the manager so simply and rudely, unless it is the kind of good old man with a gentle enough personality, the temper is almost necessary to pinch the other party.

As for the specific example, you can refer to the incident of Warriors star Sprewell angrily choking the neck of the team's head coach Callesimo in the NBA league on the other side of the Atlantic. Of course, although there are not many top stars on the football field who are as impulsive as Sprewell and dare to directly beat the manager, there are also unruly bad boys like Cantona, Gascoigne, Di Canio, Roy Keane and other unruly bad boys, kicking fans to push down the referee and maliciously hurting people are their famous works.

Having said that, the reason why Rivaldo can show such cooperation is that on the one hand, it is really for the sake of the team, and he does not want to make extraneous complications at this critical time; On the other hand, he also has a lot of confidence in his own ability, and firmly believes that even if the team is still as low as the first leg this time, he can turn the tide of the game and win for Barcelona at the Frankie Stadium!

Confidence is a good thing, but everything has its two sides, and too much faith is a conceited expression - are you a cabbage in the world wave of inspiration, and you can kick it out immediately when you want to?

Therefore, after the restart of the game, until the referee blew the whistle position at the end of the game, the Brazilian wearing the number 11 shirt of Barcelona was depressed to find that he had never been given the opportunity to step up and save the team!

In this game, Di Livio, who was in charge of Fiorentina's defense on the right side, was very experienced when facing Rivaldo. When Rivaldo broke through with the ball, the 33-year-old veteran resolutely strangled the opponent's inward cutting route, so that Rivaldo could not use his shooting skills, and could only choose to break through along the wing and cross with his feet!

The reason why Di Livio will do this is mainly to prevent Rivaldo's strong scoring ability, as for his crossing, although his crossing skills are also first-class, but Barcelona lacks such a goalscorer in the middle who can complete the goalmouth grab, and Kluivert is far from qualified in this regard! Therefore, being messed up like this by Di Livio naturally makes Rivaldo much less threatening.

Not to mention Zenden on the right, the Dutchman is a pure winger who holds on to the flanks and is the type of player Carlos likes to play against. After all, whether it is speed, explosiveness, or strength, Cendon is not Carlos's opponent, and it is natural to be blocked.

With both Rivaldo and Cenden confined to death by Fiorentina, Figo is also in trouble. In the eyes of the Portuguese, the player named Gattuso is simply too annoying, his skills are so rough that he is extremely motivated in marking defense, just like a small strong man who can't be killed! No matter how Figo gets rid of it, this butcher-looking guy will be able to reattach him in the shortest possible time!

With Rivaldo and others in a difficult situation and unable to deliver shells forward, Kluivert, who was isolated on the front line, naturally did not have much room to play. Although the Dutch center forward has excellent ball playing ability and outstanding physical qualities, his ability to grasp opportunities can only be described as average, so even if Figo and them occasionally make a good pass, it is difficult for Kluivert to grasp it under the interference of Stam and others!

In this way, when the game was over, Fiorentina finally defeated Barcelona 3-0 at home, and Vieri, who played as a single arrow, scored a hat-trick in this game to help the purple lily advance to the semi-finals of the Champions Cup!

At the same time that Fiorentina eliminated Barcelona, in another Champions League quarter-final match, Real Madrid defeated the defending champion Manchester United 3-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to secure a place in the last four of the Champions League!

Since Fiorentina and Real Madrid were drawn in the same half at the time of the round of 16 draw, this means that in the next Champions League semi-finals, Heynckes will lead Fiorentina to his old club, Real Madrid!

The matchup between Fiorentina and Real Madrid has attracted a lot of attention from fans and the media, after all, the two teams have met many times over the years and have formed a lot of bonds with each other. For example, in the 95-96 season, Real Madrid, who were in the same group as Fiorentina, were defeated by the Purple Lily and Glasgow Rangers in the final round of the group stage; And in the '96-97 season, Sanches Jr.'s malicious collision with Barty was also impressive; As for the 97-98 season, when the two sides last met, Real Madrid, who finally managed to make a breakthrough in the Champions Cup, met Fiorentina in the semi-finals, and finally regrettably stopped in the Champions League semi-finals after two legs with their opponents, and missed the final.

Therefore, for Real Madrid up and down, Fiorentina is undoubtedly their worst enemy in the European arena! If it weren't for this roadblock, they wouldn't have been the laughing stock of others again and again, and they wouldn't have missed the Champions Cup final for 20 years!

And for those neutral fans and the media, the biggest attraction of the two teams of Fiorentina and Real Madrid meeting in the semi-finals of the Champions Cup is Fiorentina's head coach Heynckes, after all, Heynckes was directly fired at the end of the season by the Real Madrid management on the grounds of poor results (in other words, the results of the fourth in La Liga and the semi-finals of the Champions Cup can be considered poor, and this kind of thing can only happen to the extremely picky Real Madrid and Barcelona), Naturally, people want to see if the German coach can complete his revenge on his old club in this semi-final!

For Heynckes, after learning that the opponent in the semi-finals was Real Madrid, the German naturally wanted to lead the team to a decisive battle with his old club immediately, so that they could realize that it was a wrong decision to get rid of him back then. However, Heynckes also knows that it is not yet time for him to take revenge on Real Madrid. After all, Fiorentina's immediate priority is to secure their lead in the league and not think prematurely about the Champions League semi-final, which will not be played until the beginning of May!

So, despite all the media hype about the clash between Fiorentina and Real Madrid, Heynckes suppressed his excitement and continued to monitor the players' training and preparations.

In this way, as the calendar turned to April 16, Fiorentina finally ushered in the opponent of the thirtieth round of Serie A, the Blue Eagle Lazio team with a nine-point difference between them!
