Chapter 141 Preparation

3:1!

Fiorentina won as they wished at home. Although Arsenal scored an away goal, the current situation is actually very difficult for them to appear.

Even if Arsenal is at home in the next round, they need to score at least two goals to get tickets to Moscow, but to score, Arsenal must invest more troops in the attack. In this way, it will definitely cause emptiness in the rear. Florence is not vegetarian. Their attack can The power is also very strong. As long as it is scored by Fiorentina, Arsenal will basically have no chance.

Although Wenger was a little disappointed with this result, he was still confident at the post-match press conference: "This score is not the end of the world for us. We got an away goal and returned home. As long as we score two goals, we will be the final winner! I have confidence in my players. They are the best players. Please wait and see everything back to the Emirates Stadium!"

Wenger also praised the team's new captain Fabregas: "He is a genius. There is no doubt that he had a chance to score a goal at the last moment of the game, but unfortunately his luck is a little worse. This is not his responsibility. I don't want to complain, but the conditions of the field today are really bad! "

Unlike Wenger's determination and complaints, Prandelli seemed a little cautious: "In this game, my players performed very well. They did everything they could. Rod's performance today is unparalleled. He proved with two goals and one assist that he is the best player in the world, yes! One of the best! As for the next game, our goal has always been clear. In any game, we will do our best to win, and this goal will never change!"

got the initiative to advance, and then returned to the league. Florence, which had won the championship ahead of schedule, was still very eye-catching. In the 34th round of the league, Fiorentina played against Palermo at home.

In the first round of the season, Palermo defeated Florence at home and ended Florence's 18-game winning streak.

Now the two teams meet again at the Vlaki Stadium. Although they have just competed with Arsenal, Prandelli has sent all the main players in this game.

In the tenth minute of the first half, Fiorentina took the lead. Degan broke into the penalty area and made a cross. Pacini followed up with a push shot from the middle and hit the ball into the goal.

Just three minutes later, Fiorentina expanded its lead. Compani received a free kick from Degan and headed the goal, 2:0!

After the start of the second half, Palermo scored a goal by Mikoli, but then Digan scored twice. In the end, the result of the game was locked at 4:1, and Fiorentina successfully revenged.

In addition, in several highlights in this round, Juventus defeated Atlanta 2-0, and AC Milan defeated Regina with Inzaghi's second home San Siro. The competition for a place in the Champions League is still not over.

After a week of rest, the 35th round of the league continued to play, and Fiorentina continued to play against Sampdoria at home. In this game, Prandelli sent a rotation lineup. As a result, he was scored two goals by Sampdoria in the first half and transferred to Sampdore in winter. Lia's Cassano made a pass and shot.

Seeing that the team was about to lose, someone finally stood up in the second half. This time, it was Montolivo who recovered from injury. After the substitute came on the field, it only took seven minutes. He passed the ball twice and assisted Ledesma and Pacini to score goals respectively to equalize the score.

At the end of the game, Fiorentina had another chance to turn defeat into victory. Unfortunately, when Mutu, who came on as a substitute, faced the goalkeeper directly, he kicked the ball on the goalkeeper and missed the opportunity to overtake.

In the end, the game ended in a draw. Although there was no continuation of the victory, the result of the game was no longer so important for Fiorentina, who had already won the championship ahead of schedule.

In the other two key games, AC Milan was tied 1:1 away by Livorno, while Juventus defeated Lazio 3-0 at home. The score gap between the two sides was widened to seven points. Milan's hope of entering the Champions League next season now only exists in theory.

Fiorentina challenged Cagliari away in the 36th round of the league. In this game, Prandelli continued to use the rotation lineup. Finally, with Cavinaghi's second goal and Pazzini's icing on the cake at the last moment of the game, Fiorentina defeated the opponent 3-0 away.

At the same time, the Milan derby scored at the San Siro Stadium. AC Milan was ashamed and defeated Inter Milan 2:1. In the next day's game, Juventus was reversed by Siena 3:2 with a lead, and the gap with AC Milan was once again narrowed to four points. AC Milan's general coach has ignited another fire of hope. There are still two rounds left in the league. Maybe they really have a chance to redeem themselves.

After the game, Ancelotti also said that the battle is not over: "We still have a chance now. Our goal now is to enter the Champions League next season!"

Listen, how ambitious the reporter was moved and curled his lips.

It seems to be this fat man. At the beginning of the season, he also vowed that AC Milan's goal this season is to win all the championship titles. As a result, nearly a year later, his attitude immediately changed from champion to a Champions League place.

But is this quota so easy to hold?

Juventus is pressing on their heads, and Juventus, who returned to Serie A, will never give up this opportunity. They also want to rise again, and it is more urgent than AC Milan.

"The four-point gap is not an insurmountable gap. We are confident to achieve our goal, and everyone can wait and see!"

Okay!

Let this fat guy continue to fantasize. Probably his confidence comes from Pato's comeback, but don't forget that the team's core Kaka is still sick** lying down.

AC Milan and Juventus bite the dog's hair, which is their business. What Fiorentina has to do next is to prepare for the second round of the Champions League semi-final with Arsenal.

After the game with Cagliari, Prandelli did not announce the order to rest, but let the team participate in the training. The players did not complain about this. Although everyone was tired after the game, what they had to do to win the game was to be more prepared.

In the first round of the competition between the two teams, although Fiorentina won and scored three goals from Arsenal, it also exposed some problems. When Fiorentina responded to Arsenal's expansion attack, the formation seemed a little chaotic.

Especially when Arsenal's central forward frequently assaults the sideline and hits behind the full-back, the back of the back obviously lacks protection of the full-back.

Before the end of the game, the opportunity created by Fabregas was that Hleb suddenly pulled to the left side. Rossiki passed the ball and hit directly behind Marjo. At that time, there was no Fioren defender beside him. As a result, he took it easy and waited until Florence's defense. When the defender jumped up, there was a large gap around him, which was passed by Hleb and torn open, almost causing the ball to be lost.

Arsenal, which has been forced to the edge of the cliff in the second round of the competition between the two teams, will definitely make a desperate counterattack. At that time, if similar problems occur again, it will be fatal.

From the beginning of the training, Prandelli focused on the team's defense. For this reason, he also pulled the youth team over and imitated Arsenal's playing style to exercise the team's defense. Of course, the strength of the Fioren youth team naturally cannot be compared with Arsenal, but it is still valuable to operate this targeted training. .

After two days of training, the whole team from Florence left for London one day earlier. Of course, Arsenal will certainly not receive them, but they are also welcomed in London.

That's Arsenal's sworn enemy, Tottenham Hotspur. In White Hart Lane, Degan also saw young Gareth. Bell, out of thanks to Tottenham Hotspur, Degan also guided Bell's free kick after training.

The hospitality of Tottenham Hotspur made the whole team feel at home in Florence. The only unbearable thing is the humid weather in London.

"Rod! Now I just want to finish this damn game as soon as possible and then return to Florence. I don't even want to stay a day in this damn place!" Pacini-style complaints are almost becoming a signboard in Florence.

"Have you heard? Arsenal seemed to refuse our request to warm up at Emirates Stadium before the game. Damn it! These damn British!"

Of course, Degan, as the captain, knew that although Arsenal's refusal was a little unreasonable, the reasons given were very sufficient to maintain the turf and avoid things like Flaki Stadium from appearing on the Emirates Stadium.

And Arsenal also helped Florence practice a university, and they could train there, so although the staff of the Florence Club were dissatisfied, they had no choice.

Of course, the maintenance of the site and so on are all tricks invented by Wenger, which is nothing more than to interfere with Florence's preparations.

"James Paul! I don't feel strange at all, and I think similar things will definitely happen, and then you will know!"

"What about?" Pacini asked.

Degan smiled and said, "For example, they put a bomb in the locker room!"

Pachini's face suddenly turned white when he heard the words: "I don't think this will happen!"

"We'll see!"
