For Trim's extremely aggressive coaching style, Heynckes obviously put a lot of effort into research, otherwise he would not have been able to come up with such a lineup in this game that is clearly to fight the opponent's counterattack!

With Effenberg and Redondo's precise passes, complemented by Ljungberg and Ronaldo's breakaways, plus Vieri's terrifying destructiveness and impact, this is definitely one of the best defensive counter-attacking combinations!

At the same time, with Vieri as a super center forward with good speed and strength, Fiorentina's starting lineup can also be used to play positional attacks. Redondo and Effenberg can adjust themselves according to the current situation on the field, switching freely between these two incompatible tactical styles, so as to achieve a total suppression of Galatasaray!

Looking at Galatasaray, although Trim hopes from the bottom of his heart that these players under his command can bring him a miracle, it is clear that reality will not be shifted by the will of the manager. In the face of the murderous Fiorentina players who are in desperate need of revenge, Galatasaray's side, led by Haji and Hakan Suker, is not only inferior in strength, but also obviously lacks enough will to fight without the help of fans!

This is a testament to the formidable bonus effect of the Ali Samyan Stadium to Galatasaray, whose spirits seemed to have drifted away with UEFA's ticket after losing the frenzied fans and hellish home atmosphere.

As a result, after the start of the game, Galatasaray's players not only did not take advantage of the geographical advantage to quickly grasp the initiative on the field, but continued to make mistakes in the game, giving the Fiorentina players the opportunity to adapt to the field and adjust their state.

As Galatasaray's on-field brain, the 34-year-old midfield conspirator did not stand up at this time to stabilize the morale of the army. The Romanian superstar with exceptional scoring prowess simply didn't have enough space to shoot under Claude Makellele's close defence to threaten Fiorentina's goal.

Of course, even if Haji wants to pass the ball to his teammates to organize the attack, it is not an easy task, because in addition to Makelele, who is not far from him, Redondo and Effenberg are also wandering around him with bad intentions, and at the same time blocking his passing lines to his teammates with clever positioning, completely surround him, and are ready to find an opportunity to pounce and cut off the ball at his feet!

If it was Hadji, who led the Romanian national team all the way to the quarterfinals of the World Cup five years ago, then he might be able to fight his way out of the world on his own, but now the old and frail Romanian obviously does not have the physique that he did back then, and it is naturally nonsense to break through from the bag of three top midfielders.

Seeing that Haji, who had high hopes for him, was completely targeted by his opponent and unable to get out, the team's top scorer Hakan Suker also did nothing under the meticulous care of Stam, and did not even have a shot on goal in the first ten minutes. In desperation, Trim had no choice but to activate the youngster Emre, so that the local rising star, who had already shown some organizational ability and scoring ability, could share more of the pressure on Haji; At the same time, Trim also ordered Jurmit Davara to press more resolutely and use his speed and impact to distract Stamm, giving Hakan Suker more space to use his scoring prowess.

Trim's idea is indeed good, but the Galatasaray emperor has clearly forgotten one point, that is, whether the rash use of young players such as Emre and let them provoke the backbone of the team at this critical moment will have the desired effect.

If these young people are under too much pressure and they don't play properly, and they end up with some psychological shadow in this game, then Triem's move will be a bit more than worth the loss.

After noticing Galatasaray's changes, Effenberg and Redondo made the decision to let go of Hadji's bag and leave Makelele alone to deal with the twilight superstar. Both men have a lot of trust in the strength of their French team-mate, after all, even Effenberg himself will have a hard time getting Makelle in a one-on-one situation in a team training match, let alone Hadji's old arms and legs.

In the seventeenth minute of the game, Emre's pass to Haji was intercepted by Effenberg, who had been eyeing him on the sidelines, and the German tiger who broke the ball immediately distributed the ball to Ljungberg on the right side, and the Swede turned around with a pull ball past the Galatasaray defenders who were marking him, rushed into the penalty area with the ball and crossed to the middle, Vieri, who was following him, squeezed away Popescu to meet the ball and shot angrily, and the ball went into the net, 1-0!

The backwardness of the score forced Galatasaray's players to launch a more fierce attack on the Fiorentina goal after the restart to try to recover the score, and the Fiorentina side was naturally prepared, Redondo and Makelle formed a double back like an insurmountable barrier, blocking Galatasaray's counterattack outside the penalty area!

Even if Galatasaray were able to send the ball into the box with great luck on occasion, before Hakan Suker or Jurmit Dawala could make a move, the ball was already broken out of the box by Nesta and Stam first, and they were able to play a wave of quick counter-attacks that kept Tafarel scrambling in front of goal.

Historically, Galatasaray was able to beat AC Milan to finish third in the Champions League group and win the UEFA Cup that season, but their terrifying home atmosphere and the lack of attention from their opponents also played a large part in it. Otherwise, with Trim's stubbornness to attack rather than die, it is impossible for this Turkish giant to go to the end, and it has long been beaten into slag by those tacticians.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the unattended game ended with the away team winning, Fiorentina won 3-0 at the Ali Samyan Stadium, and with the group stage halfway over, the Purple Lilies were at the top of Group B with two wins and one draw and seven points!

The Galatasaray fans, who were watching the TV broadcast on the big screen outside the stadium, were the first to get the news of the team's loss, and they were furious that they had planned to leave some memorable gifts for Fiorentina, such as attacking the visiting team's bus with stones and other debris.

However, the Galatasaray club, having learned the lesson, sent timely personnel to stop the irrational behavior of the fans, and it was only with great effort that the fans recovered from their bloody state, which prevented the situation from going in a worse direction and allowed all the Fiorentina personnel to return to Italy by plane safely.

Otherwise, Fiorentina, who won this contest, may have suffered non-combat attrition after the game.
