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 five-goal win away to Reggina to vent their frustration at a surprise defeat to Roma, the Fiorentina players welcomed the 22nd round of Serie A a week later. This time, the Purple Lily's opponent is the Bianconeri Juventus.

For this contest, it can be said that Florence attaches great importance to it. This is not only because the Bianconeri, who started to work after the winter break, have overtaken Milan to become the Purple Lily's top rivals in the league, but more importantly, the Fiorentina players are now very eager to put a high score in this game against Juventus and fight back against some unfavorable comments about the Purple Lily, such as "Fiorentina bullies the soft and fears the hard", or "Fiorentina can't do it".

While it is common sense to assume that Fiorentina are of course much more likely to score a high score against a weaker team like Reggina than against a strong opponent like Juventus, for many people who deliberately pick a bone in the egg, they will only care if they can unearth evidence to support their point of view and attract enough attention to ignore whether the claim they are proclaiming is plausible.

In the face of such a public opinion environment, the main players such as Pirlo and Nesta, who are accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, although they will not be angry because of these remarks, they will have some unhappy emotions in their hearts. As for Cristiano Ronaldo and Vincent, young people who have just played in the professional league, they are not experienced enough and are more youthful and energetic, and they obviously have to evaluate them more in the unexpected world. Therefore, the Fiorentina players, who are more or less affected by public opinion in this regard, naturally hope to be able to win Juventus cleanly in this game, and it is best to beat the opponent by more than three goals at the end of the game, and use an irrefutable fact to counter these sarcastic remarks about Fiorentina!

However, Heynckes, who noticed the mentality of his own players, did not send the strongest lineup in this game as the players wished. Instead, the starting lineup was rotated to a certain extent, hiding Robert Carlos, Ballack and other big players in the team, and putting less powerful rotation players such as Zivo and Albertini into the starting lineup.

There is no way around it, after all, unlike the players who only need to play every game in front of them, Heynckes, as the manager of Fiorentina, needs to look at the problem from a higher perspective. Therefore, now that the knockout stage of the Champions League is about to begin, it is naturally impossible for the German coach to field the strongest squad in this game. (Note: Due to Zhuang Mingge's suggestion, UEFA in this world did not add the second stage of the group stage as in the previous life, but still maintained the original home-and-away two-legged knockout round)

After all, if the players have spent too much energy on Juventus, it will not be easy for Fiorentina to overcome Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals next week.

Although Heynckes attaches more importance to the Serie A championship he has never won, and tends to focus more on the league battlefield when the team is in the third line, the management led by Zhuang Mingge also expressed support for his decision, but if Fiorentina is out of the Champions Cup early because of this, even if the purple lily finally succeeds in winning the league cup, I am afraid it will be criticized a lot.

In Zhuang Mingge's previous life, Real Madrid, who was "Dream Eight" every year, and Juventus before the phone gate were criticized for this reason, because they did not show the demeanor of a top giant - Real Madrid may be okay, they have repeatedly stopped in the Champions Cup round of 16 more because of their heavy offensive and defensive style, but Juventus is different, the majestic Bianconeri in Serie A are as unmotivated as a frosted eggplant when they arrive at the Champions Cup, Having repeatedly stopped in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, they are really difficult to deserve in the eyes of many people as Italy's number one giant.

Therefore, it is for these reasons that Heynckes, who does not want to give up the Champions League for the sake of the league, will choose to rotate in this crucial battle with Juventus.

Unlike Heynckes, who decided to stay for the Champions League, the silver fox Lippi fielded his strongest squad in this game. The goalkeeper was Frenchman Sebastien Frei, Grosso and Thuram appeared at left and right wing-backs respectively, and Uruguayan internationals Paolo Montero and Tudor formed the central defence of the Bianconeri; In midfield, Dutch boars Davies and Tacinadi are forever traitors in the eyes of Fiorentina fans, while Czech ironman Pavel Nedved and Camoranesi, a dual Argentinian and Italian citizen who has now represented the Azzurri in European Championship qualifying, split the flanks on the flanks to feed Piero and Trezeguet up front, as well as improvise to threaten Fiorentina's goal with long-range shots.

As for Pierrot and Trezeguet, who appeared in the forward line, although the two are not as physical as Vieri, and their ability to grab points and nose in front of goal are not as sharp as Inzaghi's, the pair of extremely complementary characteristics and styles are still one of the sharpest attacking combinations in European football today.

The main reason why Lippi chose to give it his all in this game, rather than rotate the squad like Heynckes did and retain strength for the knockout stage of the Champions League, is mainly because Juventus has always placed more emphasis on the Serie A battlefield in terms of game strategy, rather than the Big Ears Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of European clubs.

What's more, due to Zhuang Mingge's relationship, Juventus in this life was robbed of too many championship trophies by Fiorentina, and did not experience the glory of the mid-to-late nineties like in the previous life, and therefore experienced a gap of nearly 20 years of league championships. Therefore, the degree of Juventus' desire for the Serie A championship in this life can be compared to that of the great boss in the previous life!

Therefore, before the start of this game, Lippi even privately received a death order from the two club giants, Giraoudo and Moggi, asking him to lead the team to a victory at the Stadio Franqui to close the points gap with Fiorentina and thus increase the team's chances of completing the comeback in the league table.

Although Giraoudo and Moggi never mentioned the consequences of losing to Fiorentina or even missing the league title, Lippi, known as the "Silver Fox", knows very well that if the Bianconeri are beaten by Fiorentina and still miss the league title, then he may not be far from the day when he will be laid off from Juventus for the second time.
