On the night of May 3, the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium were full, and nearly 80,000 Real Madrid fans were waiting for this decisive battle!
For these Real Madrid fans, they are very excited to see the team meet Fiorentina in the semi-finals of the Champions League, after all, Fiorentina and Real Madrid have formed a lot of ties over the years, if the team can eliminate the purple lily in the semi-finals this time, then this will undoubtedly give Real Madrid a bad breath, and at the same time can also enhance the team's confidence to win the Champions League - even a team of Fiorentina's level can be beaten, Then no matter who the opponent of the final is, we will not be afraid!
On the other hand, Real Madrid fans are also a little worried. Regardless, Fiorentina have also had the best European results in the last five years. In the last five seasons, one Cup Winners' Cup, three Champions League titles and one Champions Cup semi-final are enough to blind the eyes of any team, and also make Real Madrid's determination against Fiorentina somewhat lacking.
After all, Fiorentina's performance in Serie A is indeed very average, even rather poor, but that doesn't mean that the Purple Lily will do the same in European competition - Chelsea and Barcelona, the two ghosts who fell in front of Fiorentina, have taught Real Madrid's players a good lesson.
Therefore, before the start of the game, the mood of Real Madrid can be said to be quite complicated, mixed with a lot of uneasiness and nervousness in the excitement and excitement.
Looking at Fiorentina's side, the Fiorentina players who were sitting in the away team's dressing room at this time had a stern face, and they were sitting around listening carefully to the last lecture of head coach Heynckes before the start of the game.
"Lads, I know for most of you a Champions Cup semi-final is nothing. After all, you've even won the Champions Cup more than once, so you don't care about a semi-final as much as anyone who has never had it before. Seemingly excited about this upcoming match against his old club Real Madrid, Heynckes showed a rare uncool side at this time, "However, I hope you can give it your all in this game and give Real Madrid a little color!" ”
Speaking of this, Heynckes smiled, and then continued: "Because, old man, I still have some selfish intentions, although I can't say who is right and who is wrong when I was fired by Real Madrid, but I am very unhappy!" Well, would you like to do me this little favor? ”
"Chief, what are you talking about?" As the captain of Fiorentina and the spiritual leader of the team, Effenberg was the first to stand up and express his attitude, "We are all professional players, and it is our duty to do our best to help the team win in the game, and you have led us well, and it is only natural to return it with a victory." Besides, Boss, Real Madrid has a lot of trouble with us, so you don't have to worry about us being merciful to it! ”
After Effenberg took the lead, the other players also assured Heynckes that they would definitely give their all in this game and leave Real Madrid with a memory that will last a lifetime!
For those grievances between Heynckes and Real Madrid, Effenberg naturally knows about them. It is precisely for this reason that the Fiorentina players feel very unbelievable about the treatment of their manager at Real Madrid: in their opinion, although Heynckes failed to win the trophy in his first season in charge of Real Madrid, the semi-finals of the Champions League and the fourth place in La Liga are also qualified, and it is really unreasonable for Real Madrid to dismiss the other party in such a hurry.
And just like that, with a desire to win, the Fiorentina players stepped onto the turf of the Bernabeu Stadium!
Now let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams. For Real Madrid, Bosque, who had studied the Fiorentina footage extensively before the game, put on a four-four-two formation for this game.
In the backline, the goalkeeper is Igor Casillas, who has just been transferred to the first team of Real Madrid this season and quickly took away the main position from Ilgener, Christian Ziger, who has regained his peak form after the transfer to La Liga, and Salgado, the "son-in-law of Real Madrid", serve as left and right wingbacks respectively, and in the central defender position, because Real Madrid captain Fernando Hierro is absent due to injury, it is changed to Ivan Campo and Aitto Karanka. (Note: Salgado is the son-in-law of Real Madrid President Lorenço Sanz, a nickname given to him by fans)
In terms of midfield, due to Redondo's early poaching by Zhuang Mingge and Michel's aging, there was a huge vacancy in the position of organizing Real Madrid's midfielder, so Seedorf did not return to Serie A after Lippi took charge of Inter Milan, but stayed in the La Liga giant, taking over the organizational responsibility that should have been undertaken by Redondo. In order to compensate for the Dutchman's lack of defensive ability, Ivan Elguera is a defensive stalwart who has appeared in the midfield position. McManaman, who was transferred from Liverpool on a free transfer last summer, played as the right midfielder, and the left midfield position was occupied by the "Magic Foot" Savio from Brazil, these two wide attackers can be said to be famous in European football, and they are capable enough to cause problems for Fiorentina's defense!
On the forward line, it is the world of Morientes and Raul, the twin stars of the Spanish striker. The former has rare strength and impact in the Spanish center, and the "Real Madrid Golden Boy" with better skills and ability to grasp opportunities (note: Raul at this time has not yet broken through the name of the Lord of the Rings) can play more calmly under the cover of the former, and can also send wonderful passes again and again for his good partner Morientes!
The excellent performance between Morientes and Raul is naturally inseparable from the tactical play that Real Madrid now insists on flying from both wings and crossing from the wings. You know, this tactic can not only allow Raul, the new generation of Real Madrid flags, to play an astonishing number of jù, but also maximize the technical characteristics of Real Madrid's existing group of players......
With so many benefits, there is no reason for Real Madrid to tear down the tactical system that has been formed and try something unfamiliar and unconceivable.
Of course, it is precisely because of this stubbornness that Anelka, who is more adept at individual assaults and counter-attacks, will look out of place here. The result has caused a lot of trouble for the La Liga giant.
