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.

For the Atalanta team, Fiorentina did not have any feelings of contempt for this opponent because of the huge gap in strength between the two sides. Heynckes' constant emphasis on these days, as well as the grumpy defeat to Sampdoria before the winter break, made the players very desperate to get off to a good start in their first game in 2003 and start the new year.

While secretly ordering his players not to take it lightly and to go all out to ensure victory in the first game, Heynckes showed the opposite attitude in an interview with the media. In the interview, the German coach openly stated that he did not think that Atalanta had the possibility of beating Fiorentina: "Although Atalanta has many outstanding young people, such as Natali, the Zenoni brothers, Padoin, etc., but in terms of overall strength and individual ability, we are clearly far superior to them. So, I don't think Atalanta have the ability to cause us any problems in this game. Let's not forget that Fiorentina have only lost once in Serie A since the start of the season, and this is due to a large number of injuries. ”

Heynckes' remarks were quickly reached by the media of good things to the ears of the Atalanta players, and immediately caused quite a stir among this group of young people. Its striker Comandini denounced Heynckes' words as "pure nonsense" in front of the media, and declared that he would definitely give the opponent a good look in the league at the weekend!

Although Heynckes' statement does not seem very appropriate, in fact, it is just a psychological tactic deliberately used by the German coach against the ambassador of Atlan. As we all know, Atalanta has a reputation as the "Young Guard" in Italian football, which on the one hand proves Atalanta's strong youth blood-forming ability, and on the other hand, it also shows that this is a team with a predominantly young player.

A young team like this, although they have the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and can even overturn some opponents who are much stronger than them, but the shortcomings of this type of team are also very obvious, that is, in the face of provocation or even contempt from the opponent, the players are generally provoked by these actions of the opponent. Moreover, they are carried away by anger, and they will inevitably do some impulsive things in the game, such as swarming to the opponent's half of the court regardless of the recklessness, or using some dangerous moves when scrambling...... And these will be places that Fiorentina can use in the game.

This is the so-called "tactical attention to the enemy, strategic contempt for the enemy", right? After asking Heynckes about the purpose of his remarks, as well as some of his thoughts on the league against Atalanta, Zhuang Mingge, who saw off the German, thought so in his heart.

If Heynckes' plan can be carried out smoothly, then this weekend game may be a very tragic massacre. Thinking of this, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but start looking forward to the weekend's competition.

In this way, in the restless waiting of the Atalanta players, the time came unhurriedly to three o'clock in the afternoon on January 12, the day of the match between Fiorentina and Atalanta.

With no midweek games and a very full squad of players, Heynckes naturally has no reason to retain his strength in this game. The German, hoping to get off to a good start in the first game of '03, did not hesitate to field a star-studded starting lineup!

The starting goalkeeper is still in the position of Italy's number one international Gianluigi Buffon, and the 28-year-old Guadalben continues to play a substitute role; At the back, Carlos and Zambrotta remain Heynckes' first choice at full-back, with the centre-back partnership being a combination of Stam and Nesta; In midfield, Claude Makelele played as a single midfielder to be responsible for the defense of Fiorentina's midfield, while Ballack and Pirlo formed the core of Fiorentina's midfield duo in this game; As for the forward line, Vieri occupies the starting center seat, Vincent and Giuli are on the left and right, and they are responsible for pulling space and delivering shells for Vieri to form a powerful front trident in attack!

Being able to get a start in his first competitive game after joining Fiorentina, Giuli's ability has clearly been recognized by Heynckes to a certain extent. Otherwise, the Germans would not have put him in the starting line-up.

Another reason why Giuli was chosen over Di Natale or Cristiano Ronaldo was because Heynckes thought that Atalanta was a better match for Giuli as a newcomer. You know, Fiorentina's opponent in the next round of Serie A is the Brescia team with outdated veterans such as Pep Guardiola and De Huye and young rookies such as Caracciolo and Matuzaren. In the face of this opponent who needs to be experienced, experienced and energetic, Heynckes really didn't dare to let Jiuli, who lacked experience in Serie A games, deal with these old fritters who have become fine.

Therefore, it was for these two considerations that Gyuli was able to squeeze out Di Natale and Cristiano Ronaldo in Fiorentina's starting right winger position.

Compared to Heynckes, who has a lot of good cards in his hand that can be combined at will, Atalanta's starting eleven is not much to guess about, after all, Vavasoli (the Atlanta manager) has only so many good players at his disposal, and not using them will only weaken the team and make the balance of victory more in favor of the home team.

"We won this game!" As the players stepped onto the pitch, Heynckes, who noticed the looks on the faces of the Atalanta players, thought, "These players are so enthusiastic that they won't listen to them no matter what they say." Presumably, their head coach intended to use my interview to boost the morale of his players, so he didn't interfere with it. It's a pity that he didn't grasp this degree and let this double-edged sword cut to his side. ”

The state of the game is too affected by emotions, and this is the biggest problem in a team with a lot of young people. It is true that they can see who kills whom, but if the foot wind is not good, or they are provoked by their opponents, they will also be like red-eyed bulls who leave everything else behind and only care about fighting with their opponents...... Judging from the current situation, it is clear that Heynckes' pre-match provocation had a fairly good effect.

So, before the game even started, Fiorentina had already taken the lead in this game.
