With Juventus out of the way, let's take a look at the line-up on Fiorentina's side. Although he had a certain advantage in overall strength, Heynckes did not dare to make such a low-level mistake as underestimating the enemy on such a critical occasion.

In response to Juventus's more than tough midfield and lack of creativity, several central defenders in the back line are stronger than physical confrontation and weak ability to fill positions, the German coach also prescribes the right medicine and sent a set of quite targeted starting lineups.

The five starters at the back do not need to be repeated, Buffon, Robert Carlos, Stam, Nesta and Zambrotta, who are not only at the top but also have a very good tacit understanding, except in very special circumstances, there is no need to worry about them making mistakes; In midfield, Frenchman Claude Makelle played as a lone midfielder, and in front of him, there were three top midfielders in a row: Pirlo, Deco and Ballack; Up front, there is a combination of Di Natale and Vieri, with the former being responsible for pulling space and delivering shells to his team-mates on the wings, while the latter has a much more straightforward task: to do everything possible to attack the Juventus backline and find opportunities to score!

Obviously, in this crucial battle to decide the ownership of the championship trophy, even Heynckes did not dare to send the 4-3-3 formation that has always been the main one, but opted for a more balanced 4-4-2 attack and defence. After all, Juventus are known for their defensive counter-attacks, and their midfield running ability is also among the best in Europe, so it would be a bad situation if they used the numerical advantage of the midfield to encircle Pirlo and others and control the midfield.

It was because of these concerns that Heynckes did not pair Inzaghi or Milito with Vieri in the final, but chose Di Natale, who was more versatile and also had some defensive ability, as Vieri's partner. Vincent and Gyuli were also selected for this reason, although their impact on the flanks is far better than Di Natale, but they cannot compare with the latter in terms of scoring ability and help defense.

All in all, the reason why Di Natale was selected by Heynckes to start the Champions League final stage was because of his all-round ability. After all, a knockout game like the Champions Cup final, which uses a single-game winner-to-lose system, is never about who scores more goals or which side has more flashy attacks, but who makes fewer mistakes in the game and is more solid defensively, and as for attack, it is more about consolidating one's own defense.

Some people may use Barcelona and Real Madrid as examples here, thinking that they are the best representatives of attacking teams to win championships, but think about it, when Barcelona and Real Madrid won the Champions League, were the two teams also the best in Europe at that time? Isn't Barcelona's speechless possession at the back of the Cosmos another way to defend solidly? Although the Real Madrid team under An Fat won the game with the first-class offensive and defensive conversion speed in Europe, if there is no solid defensive system as the foundation, how can Ronaldo and Bale play such amazing fast progress and wonderful goals?

"It seems that if nothing happens, this game will be quite dull." In a VIP box at Old Trafford, Zhuang Mingge, who won the starting line-up for the final between Fiorentina and Juventus, said to Karin and Rebecca next to him, "I think that when the game is over, most fans' comments about this final will be absolutely dull and boring." ”

"Well, that's a very likely thing to happen." Karin, who knows more about football, nodded and said approvingly, "After all, this is the Champions Cup final, and either side will be doubly cautious." The two managers, Heynckes and Lippi, are both experienced tacticians, who are not only adept at spotting weaknesses and amplifying them, but also trying to make up for the shortcomings of their own squads. Therefore, in this game, the two teams are bound to invest heavily in the midfield and backfield to fight the opponent's counterattack, and in this way, the energy invested by both sides in the offensive end is basically left. ”

At this time, the Champions Cup final has officially started with a whistle from the German whistle Merck. Judging from the actions of the players on both sides after the opening, Zhuang Mingge's speculation just now is still very accurate, because the players are very careful on the field, putting more energy into solid defense, and easily dare not put too many troops into the attack.

"Tsk." Nedved looked at Ballack in front of him, and the ironclad Fiorentina backline behind the Germans, pouted in dissatisfaction, and passed the ball back to Davies behind him. Although Nedved has the means to break through Ballack's defence with the ball, he doesn't have the ability to single out an entire backline, and it would be no joke to get a tackle and play a quick counter-attack.

Vieri's strength and ability to go heads-up is all too clear to Nedved, who has been playing in Serie A for many years. So, in Nedved's plan, limiting Fiorentina's counter-attack and Vieri's possession of the ball up front was the team's top priority for this game. As a result, the Czechs will choose to safely pass the ball back to Davies when there is no suitable opportunity, in order to avoid falling into the encirclement of Fiorentina and thus be seized by the opponent to play a counter-attack.

Although Nedved has thought it through enough, he still missed one point, that is, like most Italian teams, Fiorentina's defense is not only supported by one or two defensive players, but a defensive system that implements the whole team!

So, as the ball came out of Nedved's feet and flew in the direction of Davis, Pirlo suddenly appeared in the path of the pass and made a brilliant tackle!

"Oops!" Seeing Pirlo suddenly coming out of the middle of the road, Nedved couldn't help but be shocked, "Where did this guy come from, I didn't feel his movement at all before!" ”

And Pirlo obviously couldn't hear Nedved's heart, of course, even if he did, I'm afraid he didn't have the time to pay attention to it at all. Pirlo, who successfully broke the ball, looked up at his teammate's position, and then kicked a long pass directly over the top with his right foot before Davis stepped forward to intercept him! And the ball landed right behind Juventus' three central defenders!
