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.

Although due to Zhuang Mingge's relationship, the fate of Florence in this life has changed dramatically, and his existence has made Purple Lily not only not embark on the road of bankruptcy and liquidation under the toss of Cherrigori as in his previous life, but also become the most famous club in Europe, and it is also the giant club that has won the most championship honors in the past ten years, but it has to be said that the inertia of the wheel of history is still very strong in some aspects.

For example, in the semi-finals of this season's European Champions Cup, Real Madrid, which has Raul, Zidane, and Figo, still failed to defeat Juventus led by Lippi, the old fox, in this world. Juventus, on the other hand, reached the final of the Champions Cup five years later, attacking the Big Ears Cup that was already within reach!

For the team's achievements in the Champions Cup, the Juventus management, led by Moggi and Girauddo, is still very satisfied. Because in this way, they can get more sponsorship and other benefits through negotiations, which is very beneficial to improving the club's financial situation, so Mo Lao Fox, who has tasted the actual benefits, took back the guillotine that had been prepared and did not let it fall on Lippi's neck.

And Lippi, who is flexible and shrewd, can naturally be clearly aware of the reason why he escaped, so for this Champions Cup final, the Silver Fox can be said to be inevitable. The Juventus boss knew very well that if he could lead the team to win the Champions League, then he could stay at the end of the season; And if the Bianconeri are defeated by Fiorentina in the final, then what awaits him must be the dismissal notice that Moggi has just received in his arms!

However, if Juventus are to achieve their Champions League goal, they will have to overcome the last hurdle in front of them, which is Fiorentina in front of them! After all, whether it is the record of the two sides over the years or the experience of the competition, Fiorentina has a fairly obvious advantage, and in terms of player ability and bench depth, the purple lily has an advantage that Juventus cannot match!

It is for this reason that although the atmosphere on Fiorentina's side is a bit solemn due to the approach of the Champions League final, on the whole, the players have adjusted much better than their opponents, and there is no anxiety or chatter in the media.

While Juventus and Fiorentina are preparing for the Champions League final, and fans around the world are looking forward to this showdown, there is a bleak atmosphere at Old Trafford, the host of the Champions Cup final. After all, there is nothing better than a Serie A civilian-level Champions League final hosted by Premier League giants Manchester United in front of England who are aiming to surpass Serie A.

In this regard, Zhuang Mingge just wants to say, Beckenbauer, you did a really beautiful job this time! You know, over the years, whenever he sees the British media boasting that the Premier League has surpassed the conservative and dull Serie A and become the highest league in Europe and the world, he will always be depressed by the nonsense of these media, and this time, Zhuang Mingge can finally raise his eyebrows.

Don't you always say that the Premier League has replaced Serie A as the world's number one league? Why didn't we see an English team in the Champions League final, not even one in the last four?

In this way, under the unwillingness of fans all over England and the expectations of fans from other countries, the time finally came to six o'clock in the evening on May 28. With two hours to go before the Champions League final began, the 68,000-seat Old Trafford stands were already occupied by enthusiastic fans, cheering for the final warm-up of the players in the stands, while not forgetting to provoke the opponent's supporters through the fence.

However, the provocations of both sides were limited to a clash of words, and with the strict guard of experienced British police and security personnel, such a vicious incident as the Heysel tragedy or the Hillzburg tragedy would never have happened.

If this match repeats the Champions League final 18 years ago, then England will taste the long-term ban of European competitions. In this regard, the English do not dare to pin their hopes on UEFA's magnanimity.

Therefore, the FA and Old Trafford and other parties have raised the security level of this game to the highest level, for fear that there will be some more moths and let them lie innocently again.

Now here is an introduction to the starting line-ups of both sides of the game. On the Juventus side, Lippi, who was making the last push for his job, naturally sent the strongest lineup in his hand without reservation: goalkeeper Frei, three central defenders from left to right, Iuliano, Tudor and Montero, Grosso and Thuram on both sides as left and right wingbacks, Davies and Tacchinadi formed a double back, Camorane roamed on the west side, Czech iron man Nedved took over the team's organization, and French striker Trezeguet single-arrow forward, While pulling space for the back of his teammates behind him, he also has to take care of the task of grabbing points in front of goal.

Compared with the Champions Cup final in the previous life, the biggest change for Juventus is that Nedved did not miss this game due to the accumulation of yellow cards this time, thus leaving endless regrets in his career; Another change is Juventus' banner man, Pierrot, the Prince of the Bianconeri, sat on the bench in this crucial battle and did not make it into Juventus' starting line-up!

Although Lippi's explanation for this was that Pierrot had suffered a minor injury in pre-match training and had not been put in the starting line-up for protection purposes, it was clear that the Silver Fox's claims were not convincing. According to Juventus insiders, the reason why Lippi excluded Pierrot from the starting list was because he was concerned about Fiorentina's strong attacking power, and it was obviously not appropriate to let Piero serve as the "1" after putting on a 5-4-1 formation that attaches great importance to midfield defense; On the other hand, Lippi does not trust Pierrot to play well in such a key game, especially after seeing the wonderful head-grabbing performance of the Bianconeri in the Korea-Japan World Cup, how dare the Silver Fox trust Pierrot on such an occasion?

If Pierrot had played such a game out of selfishness, and the team lost the game, Pico would have fallen into blood mold.
