After three games without a win, another big club like AC Milan is definitely worse for Fiorentina.

Fortunately, Fiorentina, Juventus, and Inter Milan all won the game, which made Fiorentina have more confidence when facing AC Milan.

Speaking ahead of the game, head coach Mondonico said: "I don't know if the Fiorentina players will be afraid of AC Milan at that time, but if Fiorentina is focused and fearless, like they did against Juventus and Inter Milan, we will certainly be able to play with our style and characteristics. Christmas is fast approaching and I want to give the fans a gift of the victory against AC Milan and I hope that my players will give me a gift: a good performance against AC Milan. ”

Mikoli was considered by Carlo Ancelotti to be the most dangerous player other than Chen Yu before the game, and he said that the whole team is ready for the game against AC Milan: "We are three games without a win, but we have only lost one of them, this is not the end of the world, Juventus and AC Milan have also lost, why can't we lose, being in second place is already a victory, the game against AC Milan is very important, it is related to the ranking before the winter break, I think, whether you are ready or not, We all have to get into the game on Saturday and I'm sure we're well prepared because we have a strong desire to win and no matter who the coach puts on it, we're going to play a great game. ”

Although the veteran Di Livio has become a fringe figure and cannot start in such a game, as captain and spiritual leader, he will still cheer up his teammates before the game and challenge the opponent, "Now, I can't wait to face to face with Rui Costa, maybe I will play, maybe I won't, but anyway, I want Rui Costa to be on the pitch, he is one of the focal points of this game, a lot of Fiorentina fans miss him, I miss him too, But I want to beat him on the pitch and if I can play, if I can't play, I'll applaud my team-mates. “

Since landing in Serie A, Costa has been playing for Fiorentina for seven years, scoring 38 goals, and the flower city of Fiorentina can be said to be the second home of the Portuguese.

AC Milan played Fiorentina at home in this round, which was also the first meeting between Rui Costa and his old club Fiorentina, and it was the 300th Serie A game for the Portuguese. Rui Costa did not play in the previous two AC Milan matches against Fiorentina due to injury, and after the UU1 season, Fiorentina were relegated to the third division.

Rui's relationship with Fiorentina fans is indeed very deep, and his place in the hearts of the fans is even greater than that of Batty, especially when he returned to the Stadio Franci after being sold.

At the beginning, Baggio refused to take a penalty in the match between Juventus and Fiorentina, and picked up the purple scarf thrown by the fans; Barty's return to Franky after his voluntary move to Roma was met with numerous boos; When Rui Costa visited Fiorentina in January, although he was not in the match list, the fans in the stadium stood up and applauded Costa, and chanted "Manuel Rui Costa - Costa ......" in unison.

At that time, Milan's No. 10 was moved to tears, brought the Florentina scarf presented by the fans, and ran to the stadium to greet the fans. Later, because of this incident, Milan fans still had a period of nostalgia for Rui Costa.

Rui Costa has won back-to-back trophies with Milan for the past two seasons, but now his main place has been completely replaced by the young Kaka. Before the start of the season, it was also reported that Fiorentina, who had returned to Serie A, wanted to bring Rui Costa back to the Purple Army, but it was ultimately unsuccessful.

In the first few games of this game, Carlo Ancelotti had been using the Christmas tree 43L formation, and Rui Costa could play alongside Kaka in midfield, which can be said to be very good. However, it was a time when the striker's injury limit was unavailable, and Sheva was in the front line with Crespo in this game, and Costa had to wait on the bench for his chance.

Speaking to the media, Costa said: "I don't really know if I'm going to play in this game, I'm excited for sure, but it's normal, and in order to show my respect for Milan and Fiorentina, I have to go beyond this feeling for Fiorentina." I have a deep affection for the Fiorentina fans and it will last a lifetime. ”

Costa understands Fiorentina's current situation and gives them his blessings, "It's going to be a tough game against Fiorentina, it's going to be tough for both sides, and I'm sure this game will be new for us, for Fiorentina and for us. ”

Rui Costa, Barty, and Baggio represent Florence's glorious past, while Chen Yu represents Florence's present and future.

With only one penalty in three rounds, Chen Yu fell into a scoring slump for the first time after entering Serie A.

Because Chen Yu scored 18 goals madly before, and now the total number of goals has reached 19, exceeding the second place in the scorer list Adriano U goal, he does not have too much pressure, and there is a super system in his body, Chen Yu has no confidence problem, his difficulty in scoring goals is purely because the opponent has put down an iron bucket formation, and the defenders are redundant, and the defenders around him have never been less than two, which makes Chen Yu have no way to bind any striker, unless he can bind a superstar-level striker.

Chen Yu was rarely humble about the contest between him and Shevchenko hyped by the media, "Shevchenko is a great player, he has scored a lot of wonderful goals, and now he is the favorite for the Ballon d'Or, I think he is the most suitable winner, it is already an honor to be compared with such a striker, I don't think this game can draw conclusions about who is stronger than whom, even if I score, Shevchenko did not score, and I am not a player of the same level as him." ”

For the outcome of this game, Chen Yu expressed caution, he said: "AC Milan is definitely stronger, they are the defending champions, and it can also be said that they are the best team in Serie A, but we also have our own characteristics, in the previous confrontation with Juventus and Inter Milan, everyone was also not optimistic about us, but in the end we all won the victory, for a game, there is a lot of chance, and to win the most difficult championship requires strength and luck." We only got L points in three rounds, the original lead was lost, and now we are in the position of a catch-up, so we have to play every game well so that we don't get out of the gap. It's a game that's as important for AC Milan as we are, everyone wants to win, no one wants to fall behind, maybe a draw at the end of the game, but it will only make Juventus happy and I hope this game will be decided and we can take the three points from the San Siro. ”

Shevchenko, a player from Eastern Europe who first came to Italy and was in the same difficult situation as players from other continents, felt a sense of sympathy for Chen Yu, a striker from China, who reciprocated Chen Yu's potential as a superstar when he praised him.

"There is no doubt that Serie A is the most difficult league in the world to score goals, and it is not an easy thing to score 19 goals here, Chen Yu has shown us his strong adaptability and scoring ability, and I believe that if he continues to score goals and learn, he is likely to become a world-class striker in the future."

The outside world is generally optimistic that AC Milan will win Fiorentina at the San Siro, but Shevchenko thinks that the game is not so easy, "Fiorentina's defensive ability is very good, the back line is their most stable link, if you carefully analyze their game, you will find that the opponents they lost and drew are not strong teams, and against strong teams, they only drew with Roma in the first round, so we must not take it lightly, we must play Fiorentina as Juventus and Inter Milan, That's how we can secure three points. ”

Chen Yu is the captain, Shevchenko is about to participate in the European Ballon d'Or ceremony, and the dialogue between them is very restrained, but the other players are not so polite and polite.

Ujfarusi challenged Shevchenko and Crespo directly, "Shevchenko and Crespo are the best strikers in Serie A, but our defense is not bad, I believe we will not score in this game. ”

Mikoli sarcastically mocked AC Milan's back line for being too old, "They should have retired a long time ago, five years ago, they were the number one in the world, and now, they are afraid that it will take half a century to turn around, I believe we will break their defence." ”

Crespo has just recovered his form, and after Inzaghi's injury, he has become Shevchenko's best partner, and before this match, he made it clear that he wants to score, "I have a hunch that I will score, my form is getting better and better, against a team like Fiorentina will inspire me to fight, Shevchenko is the best striker in the world, he is going to Paris for the Ballon d'Or, and this game will definitely not come home empty-handed...... The last score should be 0 I scored one, Sheva scored two ......"

The match between Fiorentina and AC Milan has also touched the hearts of many football legends.

Florence's god of war Barty has also been concerned about Florence's game in Qatar, and Patty thinks it is normal for Florence's current situation, he said in an interview with Italian reporters, "Florence has not won three games, and the media and fans regard it as news, which is enough to show that the current status of Florence in the minds of the media and fans, in fact, with the strength of Florence, they can now rank second, they should be satisfied, even in our time, Fiorentina will not be easy to break into the top three, not to mention that they have only just risen from Serie B. ”

Fiorentina and AC Milan have an unavoidable summit conversation, with Barty saying: "Fiorentina and AC Milan are both passionate teams and the game between them is sure to be good to watch, no matter who wins the game in the middle, it's a blessing to be able to watch a game like this. ”

Chen Yu has been known as Fiorentina's new god of war since last season, and he is also a key factor in whether Fiorentina can win this game.

"Strikers will always have a goal drought, it can be as short as a few weeks, and it can be as long as a few months, which is a problem of their own form, and because the defender is familiar with your characteristics, if you want to break the goal drought, you have to be smarter, more resolute, more determined than the defender. Chen Yu is the best striker in Florence after me, he has the opportunity to lead Fiorentina to create heights that I have not reached, he is facing a lot of problems now, he has just become famous, the media praises, fans are sought after, merchants send money, in the face of money and honor, many people may be lost, I hope Chen Yu can restrain his desires, put more energy on the game, and reduce the opportunity to gossip newspapers and TV stations to get ratings.

Baggio, who has retired, believes that Fiorentina has no problems now, the low tide during this period is normal, and it is not normal for Fiorentina to win all the time, and it does not conform to the laws of competitive football, but the reason why Fiorentina will fall into a winless circle recently is mainly because Fiorentina lacks an attack point other than Chen Yu, after Chen Yu was seen dead, no one else stood up, if Fiorentina's other strikers can play a role, the current predicament can be solved.

Strong dialogue, the war of words before the game is naturally inevitable, but a week of double matches, they are not left much time, in the blink of an eye, the start of the game is time. The two sides also had no intention of fighting a war of words, and both focused on the upcoming game.
