So, in order to give the clever Wenger a resounding slap in the face, and also to kill the suspense of the game as soon as possible, Capello sent all the best cards in his hand to the field in this game.

In the goalkeeper position, although Toldo has conceded a lot of goals this season and his competitive form is quite average, he is still the most reliable goalkeeper in the Fiorentina team.

At the back, considering the sharp flanks of Overmars and Parlour, Capello decisively sent Robert Carlos and Zambrotta as the starting left and right wing-backs; As for the central defence, it will be shared by Nesta and Stam who have returned from injury, and they will face the combined impact of French debutant Nicolas Anelka and Ice Prince Bergkamp.

In midfield, Claude Makelele and Redondo played in the back two. Although the Argentine prince has the ability and the body to take on all the tasks in the midfield position, for Capello, who has always attached importance to defense and stability, adding a defensive gate as a midfielder like Makelele can undoubtedly add an insurance to the door of the side. It would also free up Redondo so to allow the Argentine superstar to use his attacking talents to the fullest.

Effenberg will stand in front of Makelele and Redondo, and the German Tiger will form a midfield duo with Redondo in the game, and at the same time, he will be able to stabilize the morale of the army at the crucial moment with his long-range shots and excellent big-picture vision and unparalleled domineering.

Up front, the strong Vieri was at the front to attract firepower, while Ronaldo and Ljungberg hid behind Vieri and waited for their chances, and the interaction of the three players up front was enough to cause headaches for any backline.

And on the bench of Fiorentina, there are also famous players and talented new stars like Inzaghi and Pirlo, so that Capello can make the most suitable changes according to the shape of the field at any time!

Compared with Capello's talent, Wenger's account is much poorer, and he can only rely on a set of good main lineup plus a few rotation players to play the world, and the rest of the people are either young people who are still young or veterans who are dying, and they can't provide enough combat power on key occasions, and can only be used as a reserve for making up.

This can't blame Wenger for not working hard, although the Premier League renewed a contract with Sky TV the year before, but for Arsenal, which is in the rebuilding period, this money is only enough for Wenger to buy some main players. Arsenal will have a long way to go to have a bench with enough depth like Fiorentina, and what they can rely on is Arsene Wenger's discernment, in addition to a large amount of money.

Therefore, in order to prepare the team for the Champions League in the best possible condition, Arsene Wenger made a decisive change to his starting line-up in the 27th round of Premier League fixtures with Newcastle last weekend. As a result, the Gunners were beaten 4-1 by the Magpies at St James' Park.

However, Wenger paid these prices, in exchange for Arsenal sitting at Highbury Stadium, to face the European hegemon Fiorentina with a full main squad tonight!

The "back five" Seaman, Winterburn, Adams, Keown and Dixon all started the game, Vieira and Petit were two Frenchmen in the back two, Ovimas and Parloer were two wide attackers on the left and right wings, Anelka was in front of him, and Bergkamp dropped back slightly to play as a shadow striker.

Arsenal kicked off at home first, and after Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal, Arsenal completed the transformation at an astonishing pace, from the most dreary and brutal and intolerable team in the Premier League during the Graham era, to a team with a very technical and tactical style of play.

Generally speaking, against a team like Arsenal, the best way to deal with it is to have a ferocious press that covers the whole field and a sharp and quick counter-attack. However, after carefully analyzing the information sent by the scouts and information center, Capello decided not to use defensive counter-attacking tactics in this contest, but decided to use technique and possession to stomp Arsenal, which has home advantage, under his feet!

The reason why Capello chose this way is first because no matter how gorgeous Wenger's Arsenal is in terms of tactical play, the Gunners are a Premier League team after all, and the old team left by Graham is still there, so the Arsenal players must be familiar with physical confrontation. Fiorentina want to deal with Arsenal in this regard, I am afraid it will be difficult to take advantage of much. Another reason is that Capello has enough confidence in the technical level of Fiorentina's players, after all, with Redondo and Effenberg, the two top midfielders, Arsenal wants to play technical and control with Fiorentina, which is obviously quite difficult.

Of course, Capello will not say, he wants to use this way to tell Wenger, there is an insurmountable gap between Arsenal and Fiorentina, in the face of absolute strength, no matter what little tricks Wenger wants to play, he is just doing useless work, Fiorentina is fully capable of completely defeating it in the area that Arsenal is best at!

Therefore, once the game has begun, the Gunners are habitually prepared to take the lead in possession of the midfield under the command of Vieira, as they have done in domestic games, and then slowly look for holes in the Fiorentina defence. However, to the surprise of the Arsenal players, the opponent in front of them did not use the defensive counterattack that the Italian team is best at in the game, as Wenger had expected before the game, but actively entangled with them from the beginning of the game, fighting with them for control of the midfield!

When Wenger, who was sitting in the coach's seat watching the game, saw for the first time that Capello's tactics were not the defensive counterattack he expected at all, but intended to compete with Arsenal in terms of skills and midfield control, the professor's heart couldn't help but tremble, thinking that Capello had already discovered Arsenal's shortcomings, and was waiting to strike a fatal blow at this time!

The reason why Wenger is not worried about this weakness when playing domestically is because the professor is confident that no Premier League team can beat Arsenal on a technical level, so Arsenal's players do not see this weakness at all when playing in the Premier League.

However, compared to Fiorentina, which has two world-class midfielders, Redondo and Effenberg, Arsenal, who can only rely on a vieira who has not yet fully matured, is obviously much weaker than the purple lily in terms of midfield control. Therefore, if Arsenal have to compete with Fiorentina in this regard, it must be the Gunners who die in the end.

Alas, I originally thought that Capello would see Arsenal's shortcomings, at least after the first leg, but now that I am driving, I still underestimate him, Wenger thought in his heart.
