Fiorentina's first Champions League group stage was comparable to the Coppa Italia final just over the past three months, with full stands and thousands of unticketed fans outside the stadium.

At 7:45 p.m., the second matchday of the first round of the Champions League group stage kicked off.

Fiorentina and Panathinaikos lined up at the Stadio Frankie to wait for the whistle from German referee Bohl.

“…… Let's take a look at Panathinaikos' starting line-up: goalkeeper Galinovic; Defenders: Vitra, Gomas, Morris, Dallas; Midfielders: Concicao, Nelson, Seric, Gonzalez, forwards: Dopps, Mitrios...... There's no Conceikao, there's no Olisadebe, there's no Papadopoulos, but it's still a team of great quality, and it's going to cost you to underestimate them."

Fiorentina starters: goalkeeper Frei, defenders Pancaro, Maggio, Ujfarussi, Dainelli, midfielders, Donadaire, Brocki, Fiore, forwards Chen Yu, Di Natale, Toney...... This is currently Fiorentina's strongest and best run-in lineup, this lineup compared with last season, the biggest change is the midfield, other positions have not changed much, but in terms of combat effectiveness, this lineup will only be stronger than last season......"

Amid the passionate introduction of the Fiorentina commentator, referee Bol blew the whistle for the start of the game.

It was the Greeks who teed off first.

Playing away from home, and lost three absolute main force of Panathinaikos played very steadily today, the ball passed from the front to the midfield, from the midfield to the back, between the four defenders in the backfield, and then back to the midfield, just like training, methodical, unscrupulous, until the Fiorentina players pressed the midfield, chased and intercepted them, Panathinaikos could no longer pass smoothly, and only then did he drive the ball to the front.

There was no doubt that the ball was picked up by Fiorentina's defenders, because Panathinaikos only kept a striker Mitrios in the front, and even Dopps retreated to connect with the midfield, and it really took too much luck for a player to get a blind kick from the back.

When the ball got to Fiorentina's feet, it was completely different.

Panathinaikos can be satisfied with a draw, and Fiorentina must win this game, Prandelli's so-called stability is only to pay attention to the back, not to give priority to defense, against Fiorentina players, winning is still the biggest goal.

The passing and receiving tempo suddenly became faster, as if it was transitioning from slow to fast motion.

Three passes and two passes, Panathinaikos did not have time to intercept, the ball reached the feet of Chen Yu, and at this time the two fullbacks of Fiorentina also rushed through the half and hit the 30-meter area of Panathinaikos

Chen Yu is bound to the consciousness of Roma captain Totti today.

Chen Yu and Totti had a face-to-face battle, knowing the ability of the superstar, and also knowing his characteristics, compared with a playmaker like Zidane, Totti is a little rough in dribbling and ball control skills, but he is not inferior to Zizou in passing, and far surpasses Zizou in shooting, to be precise, Zizou can only be a midfielder, and Totti is more like a striker.

Compared with the physical conditions of Chen Yu and Totti, the two are exactly the same height, Totti is stronger, and Chen Yu is faster.

The ball passed to Chen Yu's feet, but Chen Yu had no way to shoot directly, in addition to blocking one of the opponent's backs in front of him, there were also his two forwards, and he couldn't find the gap to shoot.

Chen Yu received the ball in the shortest possible time, split the ball into the side, and handed it to his full-back Maggio.

Among the two full-backs, Chen Yu and Maggio are the most familiar, and the ability to assist and run, Maggio is also a little stronger than Pancarlo.

Ma Qiao was still sprinting at the moment, and when the ball passed to Chen Yu, Ma Qiao's speed even increased a little, and he was waiting for Chen Yu's pass.

More than three years of chemistry came into play at this point, as Chen Yu pinpointed the ball behind Panathinaikos' full-back, while Maggio's sprint just overtook the full-backs who turned and chased back.

The ball was caught up by Maggio just before it was off the line and, like in training, he delivered a standard cross.

The ball flew towards the goal with a strong spin.

When Chen Yu passed the ball out of the box, he quickly cut into the Panathinaikos penalty area, and when Maggio passed the ball to the middle, Fiorentina had formed a three-point outflank in the box, and there were Fiore and Brocki at the edge of the box.

Fiorentina's attack was quick and concise, and as the pivot of the attack, Chen Yu only touched the ball once, but it was the key to this attack, and his outflanking also caused chaos in the Panathinaikos penalty area.

However, Panathinaikos' defense is excellent, because the defenders are all about 1.9 meters tall, and their air defense is stronger than most Italian teams.

Chen Yu and Tony were unable to grab the spot, and the ball was headed off the line by Panathinaikos defender Morris.

Fiorentina were awarded a corner in the second minute of the opening period.

Fiore took the corner, Chen Yu called on his teammates to press, those with height to compete for the header, and those without height waited on the periphery to grab the second drop point, striving to launch a continuous attack.

The opponent's defense is very good, and it is difficult to work in one shot, and only continuous attacks can create enough pressure in front of Panathinaikos to score goals.

Fiore's corner was a little low and the ball was cleared by a Panathinaikos player's header at the front post, but the second drop of the ball was still in Fiorentina control and the ball was hoisted into the box again.

Panathinaikos' air defense is certainly powerful, but Toni and Chen Yu also have excellent headers, especially Tony, who is very sensitive to the ball in the air, and when the Greeks have not yet reacted from the first defense, he took the lead in grabbing the landing point, swinging the header and pushing the ball into the top right corner of the goal.

This is a dead end in the theoretical sense, but because Panathinaikos' goalkeeper Galinovic is in a good position, and the ball that is hoisted in has no speed, and Toni does not borrow force to push the ball, such an ingenious shot is held up by Galinovic with one palm.

Fiorentina were awarded another corner.

It was still Fiore who took the penalty, but this time the arc of Fiore's serve was a little higher, and he no longer gave the opponent a chance to intercept easily.

The ball was not touched either in front of the ball or in the middle, and the ball was picked up by Di Natale at the back post.

Di Natale was quick to move, he stopped the ball with his chest and shot with his feet, but unfortunately it was blocked by defender Dallas with an accurate tackle.

Referee Bol points to the goal, signaling that it is a goal kick.

"The ball was on him." Di Natale went over to argue with the referee that he wanted another corner, but the referee ignored Di Natale.

Next, the attack was changed to the Panathinaikos side.

Panathinaikos' goalkeeper Galinovic kicked the ball off with a big kick, and the ball went forward to his strikers Dopps and Mitrios, but this time Panathinaikos's striker still didn't touch the ball, and the ball returned to Fiorentina's feet again.

Fiore walked forward with the ball, Panathinaikos' player came to intercept, Fiore dunked past a player, and before the second defender arrived, he fell to the ground and passed the ball to Chen Yu.

The ball must be accelerated to Chen Yu, because Chen Yu is within the 30-meter area of the opponent's goal, the defenders are dense, and everyone regards Chen Yu as the number one enemy.

Fiore's pass was a little sudden, but Chen Yu's skills almost reached the point of integrating man and ball, at this time, he still controlled the ball steadily, and stopped in front of the left side of his body, when Panathinaikos's back pounced, Chen Yu just took a stride to dodge the defender, and also caught up with the ball.

There was a round of applause in the stands, this stop was indeed very ingenious, Chen Yu stopped the ball to shake off the enemy, and also gave him the opportunity to make the next move.

The opportunity was fleeting, and at this time, Chen Yu subconsciously pulled his feet and shot.

Chen Yu's shot didn't swing his leg much, but the strong explosive power still allowed Chen Yu to kick a shot with a very fast speed.

The ball flew between the defenders and on the turf to the left side of the goal.

Goalkeeper Galinovic's reaction was not slow, but Chen Yu stopped the ball and was blocked by Panathinaikos's players, Galinovic didn't see it, and when Chen Yu shot, Galinovic saw it a little late, and he lost the opportunity to move in advance, so he could only barely fly on the spot and cry poor.

Height was a plus, but it became a disadvantage when the opponent played boccia, and Galinovic had not yet completely collapsed when the ball flew into the net right in front of his eyes.

In the fifth minute of the game, Chen Yu's cold shot knocked on the door of Panathinaikos.

After scoring the goal, Chen Yu rushed to the stands and yelled at the fans in the stands.

The fans in the stands were also a little surprised, and after a moment's pause, they immediately set off a cheering cry of celebration.

"Entered? Actually got in."

Fiorentina manager Prandelli didn't expect the goal to come so quickly, he was like a cassette, he paused for a moment and then immediately went into high speed, and he, like every supporter, was delighted with the goal.

Panathinaikos' coach Masaleni stomped his feet again and again, and was very dissatisfied with the conceded goal, because the ball was lost so early, and the rest of the game was difficult to play.

"aIaIaI......" The on-site commentator shouted excitedly, "It's really tiring to stop that beautifully."

Bright, it is almost the style of Zizu, now let's cheer, celebrate, cheer for Chen Yu, cheer for Fiorentina, cheer for Italian football......"

In fact, few people could hear the voices of the commentators at the scene, but the fans in the stands seemed to hear it, and their outbursts of shouts were louder, and they also made a crowd wave, pushing the celebration to the climax.
