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.

Jose Mourinho's starting line-up was arguably a complete surprise to most people. After all, while Fiorentina had a lot of consumption in direct talks with Juventus last weekend, it wasn't too much of a problem to let those players hold on once in a while and continue to play against Liverpool.

However, in this crucial match related to the Champions League semi-final ticket, Mourinho not only excluded Andrea Pirlo from the starting line-up, but also asked Arteta, a recognized "parallel import", to form a midfield duo with Ballack and be responsible for the crucial midfield organization!

You must know that since joining Fiorentina from Glasgow Rangers last summer, Arteta has not appeared for a long time because he has not yet integrated into the team's tactical system, so that the Purple Lily has to face the embarrassing situation of a lack of major generals at the beginning of the season; Then he made a fatal mistake against Brescia that turned Fiorentina's deserved three points into one, giving Juventus the chance to close the gap. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Arteta, like previous players such as Mendieta, Gerrard, and Farinos, is only suitable for playing as the core of small and medium-sized teams, and when it comes to more competitive giants, he will only end up with a bench to sit through.

I'll it, what's the rhythm? Sure enough, after seeing Mourinho's arrangement, Benitez couldn't help but be stunned for a while, Rao was as smart as he really couldn't see the intention of the Portuguese's move. So, under the cranky thinking, Benitez couldn't help but think crookedly, thinking that Mourinho was deliberately expressing his contempt for him, thinking that Arteta, a parallel player, could lead the team to defeat his Liverpool.

What was Fiorentina's Jose Mourinho manager thinking about to start Mikel Arteta on such a crucial occasion? There is a limit to looking down on people! Benitez took it for granted that Mourinho's inclusion of Arteta in the starting line-up was for that reason. As a result, Benitez's desire to win this game couldn't help but become a little stronger. Benitez didn't want to be ridiculed by the unscrupulous media as "a manager who can't even handle a parallel Fiorentina team" after the game.

Of course, Mourinho would not have known what Benitez was thinking, let alone that his arrangement had completely aroused the desire of Benitez and the Liverpool players to win. Of course, even if he knew what these people were thinking, he probably wouldn't have made any adjustments to the team's starting lineup.

As for Arteta's ability, Mourinho, who has been silently following the training of the Spaniards, still knows it. The Portuguese know that perhaps in Serie A, which attaches great importance to defense and the attacking space is generally very narrow, Arteta, who is in contact with Italian football for the first time, is somewhat unsuitable for this way of playing, but against a team like Liverpool with a rough defensive system, insufficient control of the space in their own half, and a straight style of play, Arteta's advantages of good passing can undoubtedly be well played.

While the Premier League has moved away from the high-flying and long-balled tradition of Arsenal and Chelsea, Liverpool are clearly not one of them, thanks to the push of many stars and managers. Under Houllier's years of nurturing, Liverpool still haven't been able to shake off the traditional English style of play, and even if Benitez brings the likes of Alonso and Garcia to the Reds, it will be difficult to change that situation for a while.

Therefore, Mourinho will arrange Arteta to start in this crucial battle related to the team's Champions League prospects this season, on the one hand, because Arteta, who has played in the Soviet Super League for two seasons, is more familiar with the style of play of Premier League teams and is easy to get into form; On the other hand, it is because Liverpool's type of team is the best for Arteta to play on his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

After the start of the game, Baros and Colwill, who were standing in the middle circle of the stadium, quickly opened the ball, intending to take advantage of the opportunity of the beginning of the game when the Fiorentina players were not fully in the game to launch a wave of sneak attacks, trying to establish a lead at the beginning of the game, so as to take the initiative into their own hands!

Although Colwell played their calculations well, how could Florence, who was extremely good at making surprise attacks, fall behind this? In the face of the offensive launched by the Liverpool players, Makelle and others, who had been prepared, organized the defense in an orderly manner, directly blocking Liverpool's offensive outside their own penalty area, forcing the Reds to end the attack with a sloppy long-range shot, without bringing any threat to the purple lily.

"It seems that we need to bring in a high-level striker this summer." Seeing that Baros was almost invisible under the care of Nesta and Lucio, Benitez thought with some hatred, "Although Gerrard and Garcia both have good scoring ability, we can't always expect the midfielder to step up and be in danger." If there are always scenes like this, then what is the use of strikers like Baroshe? ”

Owen's departure not only deprived Liverpool of their only top star, but also left the Reds without a consistent firepower up front. Players like Baroshe, Cisse and Morientes are not famous, but at Liverpool, their goalscoring ability is obviously not directly proportional to their fame.

As a direct consequence of the lack of performance of starting strikers such as Baros, Fiorentina players can devote more energy to defending Liverpool's midfield. At the same time, Fiorentina players can also invest more troops in the offensive end, which can be used to reduce the pressure on their own defense by attacking instead of defending.

However, Benitez is fortunate that although his own side has stalled due to the lack of attacking momentum due to the lack of support from the forwards, Fiorentina has also not scored in this period. The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Mikel Arteta both made some good passes and threatened a lot on the pitch, but both Vieri and Di Natale clearly forgot to bring their shooting boots tonight and repeatedly missed goals.

In this way, until the end of the first half, Liverpool, who were plagued by the weakness of the striker, failed to break through Fiorentina's goal, and could only enter the halftime break with a score of 0-0.
