PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

After a 5-2 home win over Udinese, Fiorentina took a break before flying to France, where they will face the final match of the Champions League group stage against Lens, who are battling to retain their place in the UEFA Cup.

Now to illustrate the qualification situation of Group G, before the start of this round, Fiorentina ranked first in the group with four wins and one loss, and has already locked a qualifying place in advance; La Liga powerhouse Deportivo La Coruna are second with nine points from three wins and two losses, and they are currently four points ahead of third-placed Lens to secure qualification, the only thing that remains certain is whether they can take advantage of Fiorentina's distraction in the league to overtake the Purple Lilies in the group standings and take the top spot in the group.

As for Lens, the team that finished runners-up in Ligue 1 last season have five points from one win, two draws and two defeats in the five Champions League group games that have ended. Despite having already decided not to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League, the third-placed team in the group will be eligible for the UEFA Cup that season according to UEFA rules, so Lens will have to give their all against Fiorentina to ensure they can remain active in European competition after the winter break!

After all, despite Bayern Munich's terrible form in the Champions League this season, with just two points from five group games, there is no guarantee that the team will go crazy in the final round and get a big win against Deportivo La Coruna.

If Lens loses to Fiorentina too early because of his joy and Bayern Munich make a clean sheet against Deportivo La Coruna, then the former is not out of the question.

Therefore, in the final game of Group G, the Lens side can be said to have come up with the most effective lineup. The Ligue 1 side have a clear goal, which is to try to get points against Fiorentina and guarantee them a place in the UEFA Cup at the end of the game!

Looking at Fiorentina, last weekend's match against Udinese seemed to drain so much energy from the Fiorentina players, and with the early qualification locked, the players were generally not very excited on the pitch. Players such as Stam and Diego Milito, who started the game, may seem to be playing normally on the surface, but a closer look shows that when fighting for the ball or facing the opposition's pressing, they often seem to be a little lacking in hard work, allowing the opponent to get the ball, rather than fighting as aggressively as usual.

Although it has been said before that it is normal for players to stay in the face of some weak teams, it is also a matter of different occasions. For example, in this game, Fiorentina's opponent is a team like Lens that is clearly trying to play with their lives, and the players still can't get up, then the only thing that awaits Heynckes and his players is a loss......

As a result, in the face of Lens, who went all out for the qualification of the League Cup, the fate of Fiorentina, who had not contributed a little in the game, was naturally conceivable: in the fifteenth minute of the game, John Utaka received a cross from teammate Rigobert Song and headed the ball into the door guarded by Buffon and scored the only goal of the game!

In this way, with a header bombardment by Utaka, Lens won a victory at home, and while retaining the qualification for the League Cup, he also gave the absent-minded Fiorentina a Champions Cup and two consecutive defeats!

Despite suffering two defeats in a row in the Champions League, neither manager Heynckes nor the Fiorentina players were bothered by this. Of course, Fiorentina secured early qualification, but more importantly, Deportivo La Coruna defeated Bayern Munich 2-1 at the Stadio Riazor in the other group stage at the same time, and ended their Champions League group stage journey with Fiorentina on second place due to goal difference.

As for Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga giants, who once again lost to Deportivo La Coruna in a head-to-head meeting, had to face a very cruel reality: in this season's Champions Cup, the Bundesliga giants not only returned home at the bottom of the group stage, but also created a humiliating record of only two points without a win in six games in the group stage!

Compared to Bayern Munich, who are so unimpressive that the whole of German football is disgraced, Bayer Leverkusen's performance in the Champions League is clearly very commendable. Although distracted by the Champions League, Pharma's journey in the Bundesliga this season can be said to be difficult, and even gave people the feeling that they need to fight for relegation this season; However, in the Champions Cup, the pharmaceutical company completed the Jedi reversal after losing two games in the opening game, and broke through in the siege of Manchester United, Olympiacos and other teams, and advanced to the round of 16 as the second in the group!

Especially in the final round of the group stage against Manchester United, Bayer Leverkusen played the best form since the beginning of the season: the much-criticized Bulgarian teenager Berbatov finally broke the goal drought with the help of teammate Aquilani.

Even Bayer Leverkusen, a greatly weakened team, can reach the knockout round of the Champions League, and Bayern Munich, which has obtained the "essence" of the pharmaceutical factory, is difficult to find a win and loses the face of German football. Such a result has undoubtedly had a great negative impact on Bayern's image among the fan base.

As a result, Hoeness and Rummenigge, who are already busy strengthening the team, have one more job, which is to restore Bayern's image in the hearts of fans as much as possible and avoid giving fans the bad impression that "Bayern Munich is a team that will only be in the nest".

However, none of this has anything to do with Florence. For Heynckes, his number one goal is now very clear: to win his first Serie A title since taking charge of Fiorentina! In order to achieve this goal, the German coach did not hesitate to let the team suffer two consecutive defeats in the Champions Cup, and even Deportivo La Coruna, who had been pressed under him, did not hesitate to complete the overtake in the group standings!

Of course, the main reason why Heynckes dared to let go so much in the Champions League was because Fiorentina had already qualified from the group. If the Purple Lily's results in the Champions League this season are as bad as Bayern's, then regardless of whether he wins the Serie A title or not, all that awaits the German will be a notice of dismissal.
