Chapter 233: Before the Winter Break (2)

It is customary to ask for a recommendation vote at the beginning, and thank you very much for the tips and evaluation votes of all readers......

After the match with Inter Milan, Fiorentina's devil's schedule has finally come to an end, from the end of this game until the winter break, only zuihou will play with AC Milan in a strong dialogue, the other opponents will be either a fish belly team like Padua or Udinese who will only take advantage of the fire, these teams are not an obstacle for Fiorentina who are gradually getting their squad in order, of course, provided that they do not take it lightly before the game as before.

On the first leg of the first leg of the Coppa Italia match with Udinese, Fiorentina lost 0-2 away from home due to tactical misconduct, player injuries and national team matches.

After all, in the last game, Ranieri had already figured out the details of Zaccheroni and Udinese, basically using Bierhoff's strong header ability to directly impact the opponent's defense and create chaos......

It's not that Zaccheroni doesn't have the possibility of changing the team, but although there are many excellent players in the Udinese first team, it is obvious that Udinese, who has just returned to Serie A, does not have enough rotation players to change the team's overall tactics without causing the team's strength to drop significantly.

So Zaccheroni had no tricks to play in this game, only to brace himself to face the menacing Fiorentina, praying in his heart that a two-goal lead in the previous leg would send his team to the next round.

However, the result was a big disappointment for Zaccheroni, and after studying the tactical setup of Udinese's first game, Ranieri will no longer be fooled by those superficial things, who has a detailed understanding of the strength and style of play of his opponents.

The two full-backs of Lanner and Billindelli firmly locked Udinese's wide crosses, and the combination of Kripa and Tacinadi gave the Udinese players no chance to kick in on the edge of the box, and Bierhoff, who had lost the support of his teammates, naturally disappeared; On the Fiorentina side, Effenberg and Djokaeff were responsible for organizing the attack, and Batistuta, who was at the front, used his height and impact to contain most of Udinese's defense, and opened up space for his partner Inzaghi to shoot.

In the end, Fiorentina defeated the Black Rooster 3-0 with a hat-trick of Inzaghi, who returned from injury, and successfully advanced with an aggregate score of 3-2.

On December 3, in the twelfth round of Serie A, Fiorentina went to play away against the Padua team, which is currently at the bottom of the standings. Under the impact of the Bosman tide, Padua, who were relegated at the Zuihou moment last season, lost a lot of excellent players this summer, and the club's recruitment work did not keep up in time, and Padua, whose strength has plummeted, is simply unable to cope with Serie A, which represents the highest level of football in Europe.

Whether you have strength or not, whether you have tacit understanding or not, this season's Padua is like an elevator in free fall that has lost control and goes straight to the relegation zone.

It was for this reason that Fiorentina's players played with great ease, although Ranieri rotated a number of players on the advice of experts from the physiotherapy centre. With Vieri and Roberto Baggio attacking together, the Padua players held out for just eight minutes at home before returning to the pitch after a month's injury.

Baggio's goal forced a relegation-on Padua side to abandon their opening conservative tactics and rush out of their own half of the pitch for the rest of the day, while Fiorentina took the opportunity to counter-attack, with Costa's unguardable pass becoming the sharpest weapon against the Paduans, with Vieri and Tomasi, who rotated for Effenberg in the game, scoring a goal each and Fiorentina on the road.

After winning the weekend's clash with Padua, Fiorentina will face the UEFA Champions League group stage in Zuihou this week, with the players taking on Glasgow Rangers at the Estadio Franky for 90 minutes, and the outcome of this game will be directly related to who will become the second team in Group C to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

If Fiorentina win against Rangers and Real Madrid on the other side also win Steaua Bucharest, then Real Madrid can squeeze Rangers out of the group stage at the end of the first round of the group stage to advance to the next round; On the other hand, if Fiorentina do not win Rangers, even if Zuihou's match result is only a draw, it will be unacceptable for Real Madrid, because they have a lower two-legged record with the Scottish team (0-3 defeat at home, 2-1 win away), which means that even if Zuihou and Rangers are on the same score, the comparison of the results between them is that Real Madrid will be eliminated.

Real Madrid can't rely on others in such a situation, they can only blame themselves for not working hard enough, even if they work hard a little seriously in the second game, they will not fall to the point where they are now, of course, the proud Madrid media about this point is naturally selectively ignored, these media's biggest task now is to desperately build momentum for Real Madrid, and at the same time constantly ask Fiorentina to "fair play" who has already qualified for the group in advance.

"It's funny how funny these Madridians are that they still refuse to give Gabriel and Fiorentina for that malicious foul by Sanches, and they want us to do them a favor? What a joke! When Ranieri asked Zhuang Mingge how to deal with this group game with Rangers, Zhuang Mingge gave such an answer, and the tinker naturally understood and left.

So in the match against Rangers, Ranieri sent a starting line-up composed of purely bench and substitute players, and even the goalkeeper position was changed to Guadarben, and the beautiful name was to let the players experience the charm of the European Champions Cup......

Experience your sister! Charm your sister! This is what the Spanish media wants to say most when they see Fiorentina's starting lineup, which is clearly to do Real Madrid's jiashi with the Scottish team!

The result is of course not as Zhuang Mingge expected, in the desperate eyes of Real Madrid fans, Fiorentina simply lost 1-3 to the main Rangers team, so that the other side defeated the Bucharest Star with five goals Real Madrid's whole effort was completely useless, and the La Liga champion was eliminated in the group stage!
