"Welcome to the Amsterdam Arena! The last match of the European Champions League of the season will be played on this field tonight, and it will be the highlight of the competition! Interestingly, the two teams that won the Champions League final this time are both teams from Italy, they are Fiorentina, who have won the Champions Cup in the previous two years, and Juventus, the Bianconeri who have won the most Serie A titles! ”

"The biggest attraction of this game is the Serie A civil war between Fiorentina and Juventus, I believe that this grand occasion has made many fans excited; In addition, Fiorentina had already won the league and domestic cups before the start of this game, so the result of this game will determine whether the purple lilies can win the treble again in two years; In addition, whether Fiorentina can become the fourth team to complete the Champions Cup three times in a row after Real Madrid in the 50s, Ajax and Bayern in the 70s is also one of the highlights of this final! ”

Taking advantage of the commentator's breath of relief, Robert Baggio, who appeared in the live broadcast room as a special guest, began to introduce the starting lists of the two teams: "Let me introduce you to the starting lineups of both sides of the game, Juventus, Marcelo Lippi changed the formation in this final, goalkeeper Peruzzi, Iuliano and Montero among the three central defenders served as marking central defenders, and Blank was slightly behind to be responsible for making up the defense at any time; Pesoto and Torricelli roamed around the flanks, and they had a heavy task in this game, not only to fend off Fiorentina defensively, but also to open up the attacking width and support the team in attack; Zinedine Zidane in the midfield position is the playmaking core of the Bianconeri, his French compatriot Didier Deschamps plays in the midfield, and the specific position of the versatile Di Livio is not easy to judge, I think Lippi is likely to arrange him to be improvisable in the game and decide his position according to the situation on the field; Needless to say, Del Pierrot and Otero have been Juve's most guaranteed firepower pair this season, with the likes of Nicola Amoruso and Fonseca simply not being replaced. ”

"As for Fiorentina, Capello has played in a regular four-four-two formation, and the starting goalkeeper is undoubtedly Francisco Toldo, whose ability and talent I think may only be surpassed by Buffon in Parma among the younger generation of goalkeepers in Italy; The four defenders, from left to right, are Robert Carlos, Stam, Nesta and Zambrotta; In terms of midfield, Davies appeared in the starting lineup, and his midfield sweeping ability is quite important for Fiorentina's defensive system, just look at the last semi-final against Real Madrid, and the Fiorentina midfielder without the Dutch wild boar has dropped a whole notch! ”

In addition to Davies, Di Biagio also appeared in the starting line-up, and it looks like he will be in charge of Fiorentina's midfield defense with Davies; Redondo and Effenberg started together, and the two formed a midfield duo one after the other; Vieri and Ronaldo's forward line is immense, and Juventus' defenders are in trouble. ”

"Robert, you've played for both Juventus and Fiorentina, and you've been for a long time, so I think you have a unique perspective on both clubs. Let's put it this way, which side do you think has a better chance of winning tonight? ”

"Well, that's not easy to say. Although there were some shackles between me and Coach Lippi in the last year of my time at Juventus, the manager is really capable and otherwise would not have led the team to the top three in the league for many years...... If it weren't for Fiorentina's record in recent years, Juventus might have broken the embarrassment of not winning the league for many years. As for Fiorentina, to be honest, their overall strength and bench depth are among the best in Europe, and no other team has such a luxurious first-team squad. Baggio thought for a while, and then replied, "But football is not a sport that can be calculated by simply comparing the strength of two teams, otherwise it would not attract so many people's attention, let alone become the number one sport in the world." ”

"Can I think, Robert, that you think that the stronger Fiorentina has a better chance of winning?"

"Well, you can say that." Baggio hesitated, but nodded at the end, after all, in his heart, Fiorentina's status is much more important than Juventus's.

While the commentator and Baggio were commenting on the game, the players of Fiorentina and Juventus had already arrived at the exit of the players' tunnel, lined up in two teams, waiting quietly for the moment to step onto the pitch.

In front of the players, there are four referees responsible for enforcing the Champions League final; And in front of the referees, in the middle of the exit of the players' tunnel, there is a European Champions Cup that all professional players dream of!

Although the Champions League trophy is nothing new for many Fiorentina players, this time is different, because according to UEFA rules, teams that have won five Champions League titles or three times in a row can keep a Champions League trophy in perpetuity!

Therefore, the whole of Fiorentina wants to keep the Champions Cup trophy in Florence forever after this match, rather than just a few replicas of the original four-fifths in the Hall of Honour.

During the time when the players were waiting to play, there was not much communication between the players from both sides. First, due to some well-known reasons, the relationship between Fiorentina and Juventus has always been not very good, which leads to the communication between players can basically only be carried out in the national team, and there are basically few good personal relations; In addition, it is also because Juventus has been suppressed by Fiorentina at home and abroad in recent years, so the Juventus players who are desperate for championship glory are all green at the Champions Cup trophy in front of them, and they are naturally in no mood to talk to the opponents around them.

In this way, in silence, the players from both sides followed the referees out of the players' tunnel, bypassed the Champions Cup trophy placed at the exit, and stepped onto this field!

After a series of tedious pre-match ceremonies, the captains of both sides, Effenberg and Didier Deschamps, walked to the centre circle of the pitch to shake hands and then prepare to guess the edge under the auspices of German referee Hellmut Krug.

In this game of guessing the coin, Didier Deschamps won and then had to take the power to pick the half, which meant that Fiorentina would kick off first in the first half!

At this time, the players of both sides are already in their positions on the field, just waiting for the referee to blow the whistle in his mouth!

The pinnacle showdown between Fiorentina and Juventus is about to begin!
