PS: This is the addition of the 53000 recommendation, and the next addition will be after the 56000 recommendation, well, that's it.

After three consecutive league wins, Fiorentina had to take their eyes off the league for the time being, as the Purple Lilies were set to play their first Champions League group game of the new season in three days' time, and the Fiorentina players would once again face a familiar opponent - Glasgow Rangers, the giants of the Soviet Super League.

It is familiar, mainly because Fiorentina and Rangers met in the Champions League group stage last season, and in those two meetings, Fiorentina won and lost one against the Soviet Super League overlord over the two legs of home and away matches (4-0 away, 1-3 at home), and on the surface it seems that the two teams are indeed evenly matched.

However, considering that Fiorentina had already secured the top spot in the group before the Zuihou game, it was widely believed that the Purple Lily's loss to Rangers was a big suspicion of release, and the loss was actually to take revenge on the other team in the same group, Real Madrid, so the result of that game actually doesn't mean much.

On the contrary, the first meeting between the two teams in Glasgow was more convincing, when Fiorentina scored four goals and did not concede a single goal on the home side of Rangers, making Rangers, who had Gascoigne and Laudrup Jr., almost become homeless "Rangers" on that day.

So a year later, Fiorentina once again travelled to take on Rangers, and everyone, including the bookmakers, thought Fiorentina would have no problem winning the game. William Hill and other well-known European bookmakers did not even offer a market for this game at all, in their opinion, the outcome of this game was already predestined, and all they had to care about was that Fiorentina would win by a few goals.

Although Ranieri, the manager who led Fiorentina to the treble, has made the switch to Real Madrid, does anyone think Capello will be careless in such a situation? Joke!

The only thing that can defeat Capello at this time is his own people, as well as the ethereal luck that has repeatedly jumped out to brush up his sense of existence.

Even the Rangers players are not optimistic about the prospects of this game, in their opinion, this time the team in the group draw with Fiorentina, Bayern Munich and Gothenburg in the group, want to reach the rematch like last season is obviously unrealistic, after all, this season qualified to enter the rematch only six group first and two most good results in the second group, under the joint pressure of Fiorentina and Bayern Munich, under the joint pressure of Fiorentina and Bayern Munich, Rangers may only have the luxury of hoping to make a breakthrough in the UEFA Cup after the group stage.

On September 25, Zhuang Mingge appeared at the Ebrox Stadium with the team, looked at the players of the Rangers team who were warming up on the field, and sighed: "It's really a matter of time, the current Rangers team is compared to the one a year ago, although the lineup has not changed much, but the strength of the team has begun to decline." ”

"Tony, what do you mean by that?" Karin, who is not a traverser and has no future perspective ability, is naturally very puzzled by Zhuang Mingge's words, after all, the lineup of the Rangers team still looks very strong, and the reason why Fiorentina was able to win easily last year was mainly because of the more advanced technical and tactical thinking, and the gap in the overall strength of the team.

"Hehe, don't leak it, you'll know when the game starts in a while." Zhuang Mingge said with a smile.

"Cut, it's stingy." Karin pursed her lips in feigned disdain, but her heart was full of curiosity.

Although Zhuang Mingge's emotion could not be heard, after the game began, many players on the field of Fiorentina found that their opponent seemed to have regressed a lot compared to a year ago.

Gascoigne, who led the LinkedIn Glenn national team to shine at this year's European Championships, seems to be fatter than before after a summer break, and years of irregular lifestyle and alcohol abuse have begun to have an irreversible negative impact on his body.

Rangers' first-choice centre-forward McCoyster is a year older, and at 34 years old, he is no longer the goal-averaging striker in the Scottish Super League with a significant decline in fitness.

It can be said that apart from Bryan Laudrup, who is still in his peak form, the Rangers players who are a year older have begun to gradually move away from their prime.

"Why did Paul (Gascoigne) decline so quickly in his physical confrontation ability, when he was in Lazio two years ago, he could still eat Jurgen (Kohler) raw with his body." This is the doubt in Nesta's mind after he easily steals the ball at Gascoigne's feet in a scramble.

Nesta, who has worked with Gascoigne, naturally knows the quality of the England midfielder, and he also played against the opposition at this time last year, and Gaza at that time was a headache for Nesta, and Gaza could even have the upper hand in direct physical confrontation...... Why is it that only a year has passed, and one of my own scrambles easily squeezed out of the other party? This gap is too obvious!

Nesta, a good boy, certainly doesn't have an intuitive understanding of alcoholism and irregular routines, but this time he seems to know a thing or two from Gascoigne......

McCoist was targeted by Ferrara, whether it was physical fitness or cunning, the Scottish center forward was not the opponent of the Italian central defender at the peak, so from the beginning of the game, McCoist was "invisible" from the field.

Compared with the core of the first two Rangers, Laudrup Jr. was even more depressed, originally at the beginning to see that last year's old rival Lanner was no longer in the Fiorentina team, the Dane was still happy, and said that he finally did not have to face that stomach-hurting opponent this time, but he did not expect that this time the Brazilian defender named Robert Carlos opposite him was even more pestering than Lanna.

Stronger than him, faster than him, jishu aspect...... Does anyone think a Brazilian player would be bad on jishu?

As a result, Laudrup Jr. was completely killed by Robert Carlos and did nothing for the whole game.

Rangers have been completely paralyzed in attack with three of their best players in the squad being targeted, as they are far from Europe's mainstream tactics and they are not yet aware of the new tactics of full-back assists, so they can only slightly threaten Toldo's goal with the oldest long balls and brainless long-range shots.

Fiorentina, who were in a defensive counter-attacking position at the Ebrox Stadium, continued to seize the opportunity to launch a quick counter-attack after cutting off the opponent's ball, and the combination of Barty and Ronaldo made the Rangers defenders tired, and Costa's accurate pass Jishu was also vividly reflected in this game.

In the end, Ronaldo and Rui Costa scored in each half to help Fiorentina beat Rangers 2-0 away to get the Champions League group stage off to a flying start.
