According to UEFA rules, the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Fiorentina and Bayern Munich is played at Bayern's home stadium, the Olympic Stadium. A week later, the two sides will play the second leg at Frankie Stadium.

For the media and fans, the match will have the following main highlights: first, whether Fiorentina has a chance to realize their dream of becoming the second team to complete the Champions Cup four times in a row after Real Madrid in the fifties; The second is whether Bayern Munich can break through Fiorentina and reappear on the stage of the Champions Cup final after a full 12 years; Last but not least, is whether Rui Costa, the Portuguese midfielder who made a name for himself at Benfica but reached the pinnacle of his career (in terms of team honours) at Fiorentina, will be able to strike back against his former club Fiorentina in the semi-finals.

Although the parting between Rui Costa and Fiorentina can be said to have been peaceful, and after the move to Bayern Munich, the Portuguese won the place at the heart of the organization with his excellent big-picture vision and organisational skills, it is obviously impossible to say that Costa has no grudges against Fiorentina at all.

After all, football-watchers know that Costa wants to get a solid place in the main team and more playing time at Fiorentina, but Fiorentina, who already have Effenberg, can't meet his demand, so the Portuguese have decided to leave the club and throw themselves into the arms of Bayern Munich, who are willing to give him a central position.

The Portuguese's decision is understandable, but many believe that Costa is not worth Bayern's $20 million transfer fee and the price of the team's core position to sign him. Because although the Portuguese has a masterful play in the position of the midfielder, he lacks the domineering and influence necessary to become the leader of the team on the court, and it is difficult to lead the team to victory at critical moments and headwinds with an overly literary temperament.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Fiorentina has been completely mired in history since Barty left the Purple Lily to go to Roma to pursue his dream of winning the Serie A title. Because although Costa is outstanding, he is restricted by his own personality and the literary style of play on the pitch, which makes it difficult for him to become a qualified team leader.

Otherwise, when the historical Rui Costa played for Fiorentina and the Portuguese national team, it would not have been possible to hand over the leadership of the team to Batistuta as a striker, and Figo, who was limited to the wing and became famous later than him.

Therefore, this Champions Cup semi-final with Fiorentina is undoubtedly the best opportunity to prove his strength in the eyes of Rui Costa, who has been questioned by the outside world since his transfer to Bayern!

As long as he can lead Bayern Munich to knock Fiorentina out of the Champions Cup in these two games, no one will say that he is not as good as Effenberg!

It is precisely because of this consideration that after the start of the game, in the face of the encirclement and interception of the two defensive giants of Makelele and Gattuso, Costa who is ready to show his skills did not have the slightest evasion, but relied on his superb dribbling skills and realistic feints to repeatedly fight out of the encirclement, sending exquisite passes to Basler and Yankel on the front line!

For this kind of expression of Costa, Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in the VIP box watching the game, was not surprised. After all, thinking about the previous life, Zidane, who has entered the end of his career, can rely on his experience and skills again and again in the World Cup finals to get rid of the close pressing of Gattuso, who is in his prime, and constantly create scoring opportunities for the aging French team.

Zinedine Zidane, who is past his prime, is still like this, and Rui Costa, who is in his prime and is no less technically than Zizou, wants to deal with Gattuso and Makellele. It's just that the Portuguese have a greater physical consumption than usual, after all, Gattuso and Makelele are not easy to match, and if they are not careful, they will be successfully tackled by the other party.

It is precisely because of Rui Costa's continuous flow of wonderful passes like a scalpel in the game, as well as his just right scheduling and organization, that Bayern Munich, which is playing at home, was not controlled by Fiorentina, who intended to oppose the visitors, and at the same time, the away team did not dare to press the attack lightly, for fear that Costa would seize the opportunity to play a quick counterattack, so as to lead his own goal to lose.

Fiorentina will naturally not be suppressed by Bayern, after all, when it comes to control of the game, the purple lily, who has the midfield of Effenberg and Redondo, is obviously better than Bayern Munich, and there should be many more opportunities to create a zào than the opponent.

And the reason why Fiorentina and Bayern attacked and defended each other after the start of the game, giving people the feeling that the two teams were evenly matched on the field, mainly because the players were deliberately restrained by Capello before the start of the game.

The reason why Capello arranged it this way is of course not because he accepted bribes from Bayern and intended to make the team lose on purpose, but because Fiorentina is playing away first in the semi-finals of this Champions League. That's why Capello decided to let the team win the first leg of the away game, and when the second leg returns to the home stadium that he is more familiar with, he will solve the opponent in one go!

What does it mean to win a draw? According to Capello, it is natural to use what the Italian team is best at, the reinforced concrete chain defense to tie the offensive footsteps of Bayern players, and then use Ronaldo's speed and Vieri's impact to tear apart the opponent's backline, so as to achieve the final victory!

However, there is a good saying that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. Although Bayern Munich are slightly inferior to Fiorentina in terms of overall strength, the Bayern players clearly have a stronger desire to win than Fiorentina, plus a Rui Costa who is fully committed to the game...... And tonight, the goddess of victory naturally favors the more aggressive side, because Fiorentina got several good chances in the game, Ronaldo and Vieri didn't grasp it once, either kicked off or was pounced on by the golden lion king who was in great shape.

In the end, when the game was over, Bayern Munich won 1-0 against Fiorentina, and the German striker Karlten Yankel scored the only goal of the game in the 68th minute with a header from Rui Costa's corner kick, helping Bayern win the first leg at home!
