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.
PS3: I would like to thank the book friend "kiki789" for his tip.
"Tsk, what a troublesome opponent." On the pitch, Pirlo carefully manipulated the ball at his feet to avoid being tackled by the opponent at the back, so as to play a counter-attack and threaten his own goal, "If we hadn't played a league game against Vicenza three days ago, we didn't have enough time to recover, and even the jet lag wasn't completely reversed, how could you have created so many threats? ”
Despite the lack of attention in European football and the failure of his short trip to Europe, Bianchi is still very prestigious in South American football, especially in Argentina. Otherwise, he would not have been given the nickname "Governor".
Therefore, when Bianchi specifically instructed the Boca Juniors players to increase their running and physical confrontation during the game and fight a war of attrition with Fiorentina before the game, none of these Boca Juniors players had any objection to this. Even a thorn like Tevez didn't stand up and go against Bianchi. After all, he's just young and impulsive, not a fool who doesn't know what to do.
Under Bianchi's arrangement, Boca Juniors' players played a hand-to-head game with Fiorentina from the beginning of the game, using fierce physical confrontation and a lot of off-the-ball runs to deplete the opponent's already small physical reserves. In this way, when the Fiorentina players can no longer run on the pitch due to physical exhaustion, the time will come for Boca Juniors to win.
This is a conspiracy set up by Bianchi, who knows that if he simply competes with the book strength of the two sides, Boca Juniors will definitely not be able to compare with a top giant like Fiorentina. As a result, he took advantage of Fiorentina's fitness shortages from afar and magnified them to increase their chances of winning trophies.
You know, unlike Fiorentina, who also have to face a tough schedule of two matches a week, Boca Juniors' Argentine league has entered the off-season at this time, and the players have plenty of time to reserve their fitness and adjust their competitive form. And these are the strengths of Boca Juniors.
Now here is the starting line-up of the two teams, Fiorentina's side, due to the time difference and the double match in a week, Heynckes had to draw up the Fiorentina squad for the Toyota Cup final based on the training status of the players and the professional advice provided by the physiotherapy center.
So, under the constraints of these conditions, Vieri and Vincent had to sit in the stands as spectators and cheer for their teammates. After all, their style of play is too much on physical fitness, and if they are not properly protected, then Fiorentina will have two talented but injury-prone glass men.
By the way, Heynckes originally planned to exclude Nesta and Inzaghi from the 18-man squad, but considering that this may cause dissatisfaction to the organizers, the German coach finally put them on the bench to wait for the deployment, which can be regarded as a thought to the Japanese fans who attended the game.
Gianluigi Buffon, Carlos, Lucio, Gambellini, Sun Jihai, De Rossi, Gattuso, Pirlo, Franck Ribery, Diego Milito and Cristiano Ronaldo, these are Fiorentina's starting eleven in the final of this Toyota Cup!
Obviously, Heynckes is also aware of the team's current problems, so he chose to hide most of the players in their mid-thirties for this game, and instead use the younger and more resilient Ribery and De Rossi to start the game.
As everyone knows, young people like this in their early twenties are at their most energetic, and it won't be much of a problem for them to occasionally play two games in a row in a week.
What the? Didn't Carlos say he was thirty years old, how could he still be in the starting lineup? Please, don't you know that at this peak you can even eat all the goods on the left side can never be inferred by common sense?!
In this way, these young players can not only see the world, feel the atmosphere of the tournament from close range, so that they can grow better, but also minimize the team's physical disadvantage, which is really a double thing.
After talking about Fiorentina's lineup, let's take a look at how Bianchi deploys his troops.
Compared with the peak Boca team that completed two consecutive championships in the Copa Libertadores, the Boca Juniors team led by Bianchi now has lost a lot of main players in the past few years, such as Riquelme, the former midfield core, "crazy striker" Palermo and other big players have gone away at this time. However, with a good youth training system and Argentina's rich football resources, Bianchi has still created a fairly competitive team.
Especially on the offensive end, after the loss of Riquelme, the master of midfield organization, Bianchi did not insist on finding his replacement, but made full use of the existing resources to decisively change the formation, creating a very impactful and all-round forward combination of Chelotto-Tevez, supplemented by players with excellent running ability such as Battaglia and Burdisso, to make up for the team's lack of organizational ability by speeding up the pace of the game.
This is the main reason why Bianchi dared to increase his off-ball running and physical confrontation in this game, because the players are used to similar styles of play in normal times, so even if the tempo is a little faster, it will not cause much confusion in the team's existing tactical system.
Then again, if Riquelme was still in the team, Bianchi would never have dared to let the team play so fast. Because if you want to play the strength of this brother, you have to take your time at his pace, step by step in the slow-paced game to kill the opponent alive, and once the team's rhythm is different from what he is used to, then Riquelme will be at a loss and become a parallel commodity in people's mouths.
As a result, with Bianchi's trick, the Boca Juniors, who had done a great job of preparation, quickly gained the upper hand and took the initiative of the game after the start of the game, forcing Fiorentina into a mess and shocking many people's glasses.
You must know that in the eyes of many people, Boca Juniors, who have entered the Toyota Cup three times in four years, is certainly very powerful, but it is obviously not comparable to Fiorentina. And now, Boca Juniors, who are not favored, actually have the advantage in the game, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face of many experts who watched Boca before the game.
