Although Capello wants to let the players have a good rest when they find the time, let them adjust their state after a week’s truce, but even if Capello is tough, he can obediently wait for Florence in the face of the already scheduled schedule, otherwise it will not be as simple as losing … ……AC Milan was banned by UEFA for one year because of its previous exit. Capello is one of the parties who experienced that incident.
Four days later, on December 9, Florence ushered in the final round of the Champions League group match at home. This time, their opponent was Norwegian overlord Rosenberg who was desperate for the second place in the group!
In this game, Capello resolutely made a largescale rotation of the starting lineup, and put a large number of team main players on the bench, which was directly excluded from the competition list. As a result, the starting list of Florence games was dominated by bench players like De Sang Ke, Dinatale, Deco and Wo Reer, and there were very few positions for main players or main rotation players like Inzaghi and Materazzi.
Although de Sang Ke and Dinatale are worth looking forward to in the future, they have indeed shown good ability, but they have not finished growing up yet. They are obviously not Rosenberg, the opponent who can dominate the team in Norway in the Champions League.
After all, the football match is not only about the players’ personal talent and ability, but also about their experience, personal experience and temperament. It is also necessary to directly measure these things, and now this second team in Florence lacks these things.
In this way, although Florence desperately resisted at home and scored a goal each by Inzaghi and Dinatale, Rosenberg finally managed to win a victory at Frankie Stadium with a score of 32 because of the gap between the two teams in experience and experience.
However, after losing the match, Florence was embarrassed. Two consecutive home defeats surprised many Florence fans who were completing the great cause of three consecutive championships in the Toyota Cup.
However, although Rosenberg scored three points in this game, they still failed to get a place in the top 16 of the Champions League. At the same time, in another group match, Athletic Bilbao scored three important points on the road with the goal of the main central defender Baoma and the chief striker Van Nistelrooy’s second visit to PSV Eindhoven in St. Mames Stadium.
So at the end of the six rounds of group stage, Florence topped the list with four wins, one draw and one loss and 13 points, and advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League with her head held high; Eindhoven ranked second with three wins, one draw and two losses, followed by Florence and advanced to the knockout stage; Rosenberg’s record in the group stage was three wins and three losses, and a slight disadvantage of one point was blocked from the 16th National Congress!
Rosenberg didn’t complain about being eliminated at the last minute. After all, they themselves had an unshirkable responsibilitywho let them lose to Bilbao in the previous game? You know, when Eindhoven played the Basque lion, it was a double play …
With Florence’s home defeat, the Champions League group stage officially ended, and the list of the top 16 European Champions League in 999 season was finally released.
The results of the four teams from Italy are quite gratifying. It goes without saying that Florence is in the same group E. Inter Milan and Real Madrid both advanced to the first round. Juventus joined hands with Wenger to coach Arsenal in Group A, and Dom led the pharmaceutical factory to fall outside the knockout stage again. The most surprising thing is that Parma, under the leadership of new coach malesani, led the milk corps in the death group to beat the top position of all the powerful teams, and joined hands with Bundesliga champion Kaiserslautern to enter the final, knocking out Barcelona and Chelsea, which burst the biggest upset in the Champions League last season!
Chapter 714 Juventus (a)
The champion of La Liga in the season is the famous Dutch coach Fan Jiaer, and the firstclass stars such as Coco, Guardiola and Kluiwitt. Barcelona was unexpectedly knocked out after the Champions League group stage!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately triggered an earthquake no less than the Richter scale in European football!
Although the other three teams in Barcelona’s group are not weak, it is true that a team may qualify from this group, but when Barcelona, the most famous, was eliminated, many people were shocked, and as a result, Barcelona’s hope in world football slipped to a certain extentno fans would recognize that a team that even Kaiserslautern and Parma can’t handle is a top giant, even though their strength gap is not big, but there is no way. Sometimes fans are such an idealistic group.
Barcelona’s poor performance in the Champions League group stage has a negative impact not only on the outside world’s evaluation, but also on Fan Jiaer’s dominant position in this Catalan giant. Barcelona fans, including some Barcelona players, unanimously believe that the team will be out before the group stage, and someone should take the initiative to take responsibility.
But who is generally responsible for the team’s performance? There is no doubt that it is the head coach of the team!
So the Dutch coach, who has initially gained a foothold in the Rossoneri with a La Liga champion, encountered his first crisis in Barcelona.
So much for gossip. Now let’s turn to Florence’s twogame losing streak.
Although people expected that Florence would definitely have performance fluctuations due to physical problems after completing the Toyota Cup journey, they were more or less psychologically prepared, but the news of losing to Bologna and Rosenberg at home surprised many people.
How long has it been since I heard the news of Florence’s losing streak? Many people don’t remember much about it. In their memory, their performance has always been more stable than that of Florence, let alone losing in a row. Even though they haven’t seen a few defeats in these years, the number of losing in a row is even smaller … Hehe, how could this happen in Florence? Especially, Capello coached Florence!
Therefore, when some concerned people heard the news of Florence’s twogame losing streak at home, they immediately realized that Florence had already exposed its fate.
On the surface, it is true that Florence still has the strongest starting lineup and the deepest bench in Europe; However, in fact, in the past summer, after the backbones of Dibiagio, tommasi, Batty and other teams chose to fly away, the depth of Florence’s rotation was not greatly affected. Although the newcomers Makelele and Gattuso showed that they have a bright future in the game, they are not comparable to those who have left Dibiagio and tommasi, and other teammates are still constantly running in, and their combat effectiveness will naturally slip a lot.
It is precisely for this reason that Capello will hide most of the main players in the match with Rosenberg so that the main players can get enough rest and return to a normal state. Capello, who has always been proud of this goal, would rather let Florence suffer a longlost twogame losing streak!
Juventus coach Carlo Ancelotti, an opponent of Florence, will certainly not miss this news. The former Parma coach who took over the coach from the dismissed Lippi this summer has had a hard time recently. pierrot, the zebra king, was injured after colliding with the opposing defender in the match against Houdusse last month. According to the team doctor’s diagnosis, the left knee cruciate ligament is torn, and it needs to be overhauled for at least nine months!
Pierrot’s serious injury disrupted Ancelotti’s plans, and after the World Cup, Deschamps, Di livio and antonio conte became old, which made Juventus difficult on all fronts.
Therefore, in Ann Cenotti’s view, meeting Florence, which has just suffered two consecutive defeats, seems to be a great opportunity for the players to regain their confidence.
In this way, Capello and Ancelotti, the two coaches, calculated that the calendar was turned to December 13, the day when Florence and Juventus fought.
Before this game, the recent situation of Florence and Juventus was not so good. The former lost two games in a row after winning the Toyota Cup, and it is still a hot topic for fans. The latter has been unbeaten for four consecutive rounds in the league battlefield and has drawn a long distance from the leading group.
All the two coaches hope to win this game in order to stabilize the situation and get the team back on track gradually.
The Frankie Stadium was packed that night. After all, it was a game against Juventus, not to mention the previous entanglements between the two teams. The fact that Mo Lao Fox forcibly poached Davis from Florence this summer was enough to make Florence fans have a very bad opinion of it.
Therefore, when Juventus players walked out of the player channel, iuliano, Davies and Tacchinardi, the three traitors, were taken care of by Florence fans, and they were booed one after another, which made their faces quite ugly.
Capello will rest for a whole week in this game, and the main players are on the starting list, hoping to get enough rest. They can restore the state before the Toyota Cup and take advantage of the home court to cut their opponents to the horse!
However, the first attack after the game was the away game. Juventus had suffered a goal drought before. In this game, otero once again showed his Florentine nemesis to the fans. In the eleventh minute and the tenth minute, he successfully caught Zidane’s shot in the penalty area twice and led Juventus to establish a twogoal lead in one game!
Although after Capello’s adjustment, Ronaldo helped Florence regain a city in the 35th minute through a wonderful solo rush, but then otero fell down in the restricted area of Florence while struggling with Stam. Referee Luo Saidi decisively awarded a penalty, and otero personally scored his hat trick in the game!
At the end of the halfgame, Juventus now leads Fiorentina 31 away! This result is really amazing. In the last ten meetings between the two teams, Juventus has never occupied such a dominant position. However, without pierrot, they gained a 31 lead by relying on otero’s amazing performance! Florence is in a precarious situation! Will Capello’s team swallow the bitter fruit of losing three games in a row today?
Chapter 715 Juventus (2)
When referee Luo Saidi blew the whistle at the end of the halfgame, Ancelotti excitedly celebrated with Juventus players on the sidelines and on the bench that this time he finally saw the hope of revenge against Capello after failing to challenge Florence several times in a row!
