Chapter 299: Decisive Battle in Milan

AC Milan has had a very bad time recently, first being eliminated by the "underdog" Bordeaux in the League Cup, and then playing two games against Fiorentina in the semi-finals of the Italian Cup, only to be kicked out by the opponent with a total score of 0-3 over two legs, but also because the team's main consumption has affected the results in the league by Fiorentinsa.

The team's head coach Fabio Capello announced his resignation at the end of the season, and the impact of this news on AC Milan can be said to be more and more - with Capello doomed to leave, Kluivert, who has been a good boy in Milan for most of the year, finally couldn't help but show his fox tail, and as a result, the Dutch striker, who has been in and out of nightclubs frequently and is late to team training, was directly banned by the angry Capello for five games.

However, Capello seems to have forgotten that he has only three games left in charge of AC Milan, and whether he can guarantee a smooth five-game ban seems to depend on the attitude of his successor......

Having said that, no matter which manager takes over the stall left by Capello, he will announce Kluivert's "release from prison", right? After all, this is a great opportunity to win hearts and minds......

The fact that they lost a big player before the start of the big game against Fiorentina undoubtedly casts a shadow over the prospects of AC Milan's game, after all, their next game is against leaders Fiorentina, who have not won in years.

As a result, many AC Milan fans and pro-AC Milan news media have asked the team's head coach Fabio Capello to lift the ban on Kluivert, at least to send the talented striker in this game against Fiorentina, otherwise AC Milan may lose a glimmer of hope of a comeback with two rounds left in the league.

However, the tough Capello obviously ignored people's requests, and in his opinion, even if AC Milan really tried their best to win Fiorentina in this game, it would have no impact on the final ownership of the league title, after all, Fiorentina's opponent in the first round of zuihou was Piacenza team, and Fiorentina could not drop points on such a team.

Now that the result is already sealed, what does it matter if Kluivert doesn't play in this game? Anyway, with AC Milan's current league points, although it is appropriate to get the league runner-up, after all, there is a big gap between Juventus, who are in third place, and them, which means that AC Milan will not have a problem participating in next season's European Champions Cup.

AC Milan fans are not stupid, and they know very well that the result of this game will be a little delay in Fiorentina's victory in the league at most.

So, what about Weishenme and they are going to ask Capello to lift Kluivert's ban to increase the team's chances of winning?

Because people always hope that bad things will happen later, even if it happens sooner or later......

There is obviously a difference between winning the title two rounds early and winning it one round early, or even delaying it until the zuihou round to determine the winner, both for Fiorentina fans and for AC Milan fans.

It is precisely because of this psychology that Ranieri takes this game very seriously, and after consulting the advice given by the physiotherapy center, he will finalize such a starting line-up:

Goalkeeper Toldo, the back four from left to right are Fortunato, Filicano, Nesta and Billindeli, and the backbone of the defense Ferrara had to unfortunately withdraw from the squad for this game due to a minor injury in training.

In midfield, Rui Costa was the heart of Fiorentina's playmaker, and behind him, the combination of Taccinadi and Kripa was enough to keep the team defensive.

Ranieri has made certain changes in the front line, after all, there are only a few forwards in Fiorentina, and it is impossible to let them start every game, so not only will they not be able to support their physical strength, but other forwards will also have opinions.

Therefore, Ranieri sent a combination of Batistuta and Filippo Inzaghi in this game, with Roberto Baggio dragging behind the two to connect the midfield so that the two at the top of the front would not be isolated due to the disconnection of the midfield.

As for Milan, the rhythm of the recent weekly game has clearly made the Rossoneri veterans breathe a sigh of relief, and in this case, Capello naturally has no reason not to let them play - although AC Milan has little hope of a successful comeback in the league, and it is even more wishful thinking to expect Fiorentina to lose three in a row in three rounds in Zuihou, but the arrogant Capello will not raise the white flag and surrender before the game starts. Previously, the gold medal coach insisted on Kluivert's ban mainly to win the team's morale, but the Dutchman was more unlucky and happened to bump into Capello's gun on his own initiative.

Due to the failure of the previous experiment in the midfield, Capello chose to return to his best defensive counter-attacking tactics in this game, Maldini and Panucci were separated on the wings, Baresi and Costacuta partnered in central defence, Albertini and Desailly took on the defensive work in midfield, the two were in front of Croatian Boban and local veteran Donadoni, and the two strikers were Weah and Marco Simeone, who are both fast and jishu.

After the start of the game, Fiorentina dominated the game, firmly grasped the ball, and constantly used the pass to mobilize the opponent's defense. Fiorentina were in no hurry to attack, though, as Ranieri had told them before the game that the key to the game was not to concede a goal, not to score......

For Fiorentina, what is the most effective way to prevent a goal from an opponent who has made up their minds to fight back?

That's right, it's the back of the field.

If you are willing to play defensive counterattacks, I will not stop you, as long as you do not take the initiative to attack me, I am willing to drag on until the end of the game - this is the first reaction of the Fiorentina players after seeing the home team put on a strict defensive jiashi.

Anyway, as long as the team gets a draw in this game, they can win the championship in advance, and if they score goals or something, they won't have it today.

One side was ready to play a defensive counterattack, but the other side did not cooperate to launch an attack, but unhurriedly fell on his own back, such a scene is very disappointing for many fans who are planning to see a good game.

The Milan players were also dumbfounded, they never expected Fiorentina to be so shameless, and they really planned to entertain themselves at the back and do a 90-minute passing practice - the result of Zuihou was naturally that Fiorentina won the championship early with a point.

Thus, this remarkable battle began with a tedious start.
