At 7 p.m. on May 9, the Frankie Stadium was packed with Fiorentina fans crowding the stands on all sides, just waiting for the official start of the game!

On the Real Madrid side, in the face of the unfavorable situation of losing 3-1 in the first leg, Bosque, who had no choice, sent a very attacking starting lineup in this game: goalkeeper Casillas, three central defenders are Elguera, Karanka and Campo, Hierro continues to be absent due to injury, Zieg and Salgado are in charge of the team's wide attack and defense, Cameroon midfielder Geremi (the one who later played for Chelsea) plays as a single midfielder, Seedorf and "Golden Wolf" Guti form a midfield duo, Raul and Morientes are the golden duo of starting the attacking line.

Obviously, after seeing first-hand in the first leg that it was difficult to tear apart Fiorentina's defence by relying solely on a two-wing style of play, Bosque began to change his strategy and was ready to adopt a combination of side-to-center tactics against Fiorentina to see if he could get a better result.

Despite the absence of wingers such as Savio and McManaman, Zieg and Salgado were capable of attacking and defending with the imaginative through-ball of Guti and Seedorf allowing the astute Raul and Morientes to have more chances on goal. Moreover, this formation can also be freely switched between the two formations of 352 and 532, which can not only press and compete with the opponent for midfield control, but also avoid the dilemma of losing the midfield in the last game, so as to ensure the quality of the attack; You can also shrink the defense and put on a back five to stop Fiorentina's offensive, which can really be said to be offensive and defensive.

"Hey, that's interesting, do you plan to increase the number of midfielders to compete with us for control of the midfield?" Although Fiorentina's shape in the league is not very good, but in the Champions Cup, Heynckes is still very confident to equalize the Real Madrid coached by Bosque, "I didn't expect Vincent (Bosque's name) This guy is still very thoughtful, why didn't I see it when I coached Real Madrid?" ”

In Heynckes' impression, the coach of Real Madrid's B team, who had worked with him for a short time, did not have anything unique in terms of tactical thinking, but could only be said to be very solid in theory and knew the traditions of Real Madrid well. Therefore, from the perspective of tactical level alone, Bosque is also an ordinary level coach, although it is indeed a bit condescending to let him be the coach of Real Madrid's B team, but with his level, he can coach a team in the upper reaches of the league at most.

However, Heynckes also knows that Bosque is not only capable of this, but also has his strengths, which are his super affinity for players and his ability to stabilize the dressing room. Don't you see Nicolas Anelka, who has been unruly and unruly under Toshak, and although he has not been able to return to the form he was in at Arsenal last season, the number of times he gets into trouble off the pitch has been greatly reduced? Moreover, after Bosque took over, Anelka began to gradually integrate into the team's circle, at least for now, the Frenchman has been accepted by Raul and Hierro, the local flags.

For a big club, Bosque's affinity and dressing room management are essential, and the manager's tactical level is second. Because there are more big-name stars in the big teams, the relationship between the factions is also complicated. Therefore, there are only two ways for a manager to gain a foothold in the big clubs, one is to learn from Sacchi and Capello, and use iron-fisted management methods to intimidate the team, so as to make the players obey their arrangements; Another type of manager is one like Bosque, who uses his excellent interpersonal skills to build a good relationship with these stars in the team, and formulate the team's tactics according to their characteristics, so that the players are willing to follow their commands.

Therefore, Heynckes, who thinks he knows Bosque well, will be a little surprised after seeing Real Madrid's starting lineup, because in his cognition, with Bosque's overly stable personality and sloppy habits, it is difficult to adopt a fatally flawed three-center-back tactic in such a critical situation.

With Real Madrid's starting line-up out of the way, let's take a look at the home team Fiorentina.

Due to the large number of mistakes made against Inter Milan, Toldo was punishingly put on the bench by Heynckes in this game, and opted for the younger De Sanctis as the starting XI - it is clear that the German head coach intends to beat Toldo in this way so that he can focus on the game instead of standing in front of goal and thinking about what he has and does not have.

At the back, Georgian internationals Kaladze and Zambrotta played at left and right wing-backs, while Nesta and Hyypia started in centre-back – although they were going to rotate in this game to ensure they had enough fighting power against Barry in this weekend's league game, Heynckes didn't dare to really send a pure substitute defence to test Real Madrid's attacking intensity.

You know, Morientes' impact is quite powerful, and Raul's chicken thief Cheng Dù in the box is not much worse than Inzaghi. If Ferrara and Hyypia were to partner in central defence, Fiorentina's door would have been blown up by the duo.

In the midfield, the defensive end is becoming more and more ferocious, and Zanetti and Redondo, who have a bit of Davies's style back then, partner in the back, although the former is not as famous as Makelele and Gattuso, but he is a real strength player, plus a strong Redondo and the young and old Deco, Fiorentina can really be said to be both offensive and defensive in the back position; In terms of the selection of the core of the organization, Effenberg, who had previously started consecutive games, was replaced by Pirlo and sat on the bench to watch the performance of his juniors.

Up front, Shevchenko, who played just a dozen minutes against Inter Milan last weekend, was given a chance to start tonight, with the Ukrainian at the top of the pitch as a lone arrow at the heart of Fiorentina's attack. On his flanks was Ljungberg, but the Swede who was pushed up front was a nominal striker who was actually on the right flank.

When Fiorentina's starting lineup was announced, fans watching the game and experts sitting in the live broadcast room were shocked by Heynckes' move. They didn't expect that the German coach would unexpectedly play the rotation on this crucial occasion!
