PS3: Here, I would like to thank the book friend "Tian Yuan Han Chess" for his reward.

Mourinho's defensive strategy against Villarreal has proven to be quite effective. In the face of Fiorentina's strict defense of the middle and emptying the two wings, Riquelme had to spend a lot of energy to get rid of the harassment and pressure of Makelele and others, and naturally spent a lot less energy on organization and scheduling. Coupled with Fiorentina's heavy deployment in the middle, Riquelme divided the ball more into the two wings of the defensive force in the game, trying to mobilize the defensive attention of the Fiorentina players, so as to pull more space for his teammates in the middle to play.

However, like the problem encountered by Arsenal, Villarreal also lacked a commanding height that could contain Fiorentina's air defense in the middle, and most of the crosses sent by Sorin and others were cleared early by Nesta who used their height and prejudgment advantage in the penalty area, and did not give Forlan, the new European Golden Boot, a chance to hit the goal at all!

As last season's La Liga Golden Boot and European Golden Boot winner (tied with Milito), Diego Forlan's quality is unquestionable. Of course, there are also many people who say that the reason why Forlan was able to turn around after leaving Manchester United and turn from a parallel commodity to a well-known goalscorer alongside Ronaldo, Milito and others is mainly because of a midfielder like Riquelme who is behind him to provide him with a steady stream of shells.

I'll be on it, too! This sentence really says what many people think about Fran at this time.

In fact, such a statement is somewhat biased. You must know that when playing at Manchester United, Forlan also had top midfielders such as Beckham, Veron, and Giggs behind him to pass the ball, but the Uruguayan did not play the expected power in the offensive end, but became a parallel commodity in the mouth of fans because of frequent wasted opportunities and low goal efficiency, and did not have the style of playing in Villarreal now.

The reason for this discrepancy was mainly due to the fact that Forlan was not very accustomed to the football atmosphere of the Premier League at that time, which is the so-called adaptation to the water and soil. Therefore, once Forlan, who was highly anticipated by fans when he joined the Red Devils (Fran was transferred to Manchester United for $12 million at that time), could not perform in line with his value, it was inevitable that he would be scolded by fans as a parallel import.

In such a slightly harsh environment and public opinion atmosphere, it is easy to cause problems with the player's self-confidence. And for a player, self-confidence is very important. If you lose your self-confidence, it will be difficult for this player, no matter how talented he is, to play as well as he should be. After moving to Villarreal, Pellegrini's careful guidance, the familiar language environment of Spain, and the generally attacking and defensive style of the La Liga team allowed Franben's discarded confidence to re-establish and his career to the right path.

However, in this game, Forlan, who has also played well this season, did not show his style as the new European Golden Boot. With Fiorentina's tight defensive system, the Uruguayan struggled to get the ball from his team-mates and didn't put in any impressive performances, much to the disappointment of many home fans who came to watch the game.

"Forlan is a player who has a lot of movement on the pitch, a lot of movement, a lot of energy, and no obvious weaknesses in shooting technique, which are his strengths." Mourinho, who was sitting firmly on the bench, watched the game on the field and said to Di Livio next to him, "It's a pity that the last thing we are afraid of in Fiorentina is this kind of all-round striker who doesn't have a top strength." If Alejandro [Nesta] is playing against the Ivorian from Lazio, or Henry, Sheva and Ronaldo, I might be worried. Fran, tsk, at least he doesn't have that level of strength right now. ”

Thinking of this, Mourinho was quite fortunate that Fiorentina met an Arsenal team that was no longer at its peak in the quarterfinals. If Fiorentina had faced the Gunners who had gone 49 games unbeaten in the Premier League, Mourinho would have had to abandon either the league or the Champions League. Because Henry was also an inexplicable existence at Arsenal at that time, and although Henry is still the king of Highbury in the mouth of Arsenal fans, the twenty-nine-year-old Frenchman is obviously not comparable in speed with two years ago, at least the central defense line composed of Nesta and Lucio is enough to deal with his impact.

Villarreal, on the other hand, clearly don't have a player who can pose a threat to Fiorentina's backline in attack. In other words, although Riquelme has this ability, his rhythm and speed on the field are too slow, and by the time he adjusts his rhythm and prepares to attack himself, Fiorentina has already laid out layers of defense, waiting for him to throw himself into the net.

So, with the attacking side unable to put enough pressure on Fiorentina, Villarreal's defence naturally had to endure the increasingly sharp and rapid counter-attacks from the visitors.

Although Zhuang Mingge changed the trajectory of Senna's career to some extent, the Brazilian made it to the Love Song Stadium and formed the yellow submarine's midfield barrier with Tacinadi alongside him. In this game, Senna and Tacinadei worked together to build an airtight wall in front of the backline, which blocked most of Fiorentina's counterattacks, and the missed balls were successfully cleared by Pena and Alvarez, without giving the Fiorentina trident led by Milito a chance to play.

Thanks to the strong sweeping and active interception in front of the back line by the midfield duo of Sena and Tacinadi, Villarreal was not collapsed by Fiorentina with a quick counterattack when the attack could not open the situation, so that the score remained 0-0 on the field.

For this situation, Mourinho is also very helpless. He didn't expect Senna and Tacinadi to suddenly burst out of energy on the defensive end in this game, and the Portuguese didn't expect Riquelme to be so strong in attack - don't look at the Argentine's rhythm and speed on the pitch are so slow, Fiorentina's side in order to block his passing and breakthrough routes, causing Pirlo to instigate the attack position much further back than usual, and Ballack did not even dare to easily invest in the counterattack!

It was precisely because Riquelme restrained a lot of Fiorentina's players in attack, and because Senna and Tacinadi played well in this game, Villarreal barely managed to maintain the balance of the score and did not allow Fiorentina to win a big game in the first leg.

In this way, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, Fiorentina finally drew 0-0 with Villarreal at the Stade de la Love Song, ending the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals!
