Cheered on by more than 40,000 Fiorentina fans in the stands, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth to announce the official start of the second leg of the Champions Cup semi-final between Fiorentina and Bayern Munich!

After the start of the game, the Bayern players who got the kick-off did not immediately attack, Yankel, who was standing in the center circle, quickly passed the ball to Rui Costa who was standing behind him, and the Portuguese midfielder did not give the Fiorentina players a chance to surround him after receiving the ball, and passed the ball directly back to Mateus further behind.

Although as he gets older, Matthaus is no longer the super soldier who can run wild for a full 90 minutes without taking a breath, but his appearance on the court has become more and more sophisticated with the precipitation of time, and the use of technology and the accumulation of experience allow him to calmly press against the opposing players. That's why Costa is comfortable passing the ball to Mateus, rather than to Jeremes, who is closer to him, because the Portuguese feels that if he lets this little technical teammate get the ball, he may be confused by Gattuso's mad dog running around the field, and then some irreversible consequences will occur.

Bayern's players have made it clear to everyone that they are ready to use Capello's best defensive counter-attacking tactics at the Frankie Stadium to deal with Fiorentina coached by the Italian coach!

Seeing that Bayern had already prepared, the Fiorentina players decisively gave up the opportunity to take advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold at the beginning of the game, and forced Bayern to give Bayern a dismount through the crazy frontcourt. After all, the game has just begun, and his side is just one goal behind, so there is no need to play so hard as soon as he comes up, in case he runs to the end and loses his body at a critical moment, it is the rhythm of being beaten by the opponent.

At the same time, after seeing Heathfield's starting lineup, Capello, who was standing on the sidelines and commanding the team's battle, was so angry that he pinched his teeth, and secretly scolded the Bayern coach for daring to put on such a formation in front of him, an anti-counter expert, isn't this clearly slapping him in the face?

However, although Bayern Munich put on a counter-attacking posture and blocked most of the danger zone in front of goal through a lot of running and compressing the defensive space, the Fiorentina players and Capello are not new recruits, and they have just as much experience in the tournament as they quickly found a way to cope after a brief period of discomfort.

Although it is the best strategy to send Vieri, a powerful center forward, to attack Bayern Munich's backline, after all, the game has just begun, and Capello will never make a substitution at this time.

Because if it really does, it will be a big blow to Capello himself and to the players who have been replaced. Capello may affect his prestige within the team because of this move, and there will be doubts about his tactical ability after the game; The players who were substituted will see it as Capello's distrust of him, leading to a series of unnecessary dressing room conflicts......

Therefore, in the case of only using the existing lineup, Capello's response is quite traditional, that is, to control the rhythm of the game with Fiorentina's numerical advantage in the midfield, and then mobilize Bayern's defense through guò's continuous passes, looking for opportunities that can kill them!

Although Bayern Munich also has Costa, a midfield master, no matter how good Costa is, he is only one person after all, and Fiorentina has Redondo and Effenberg, two masters who are not inferior to him in terms of organizational ability and are better than him in terms of physical quality. Under normal circumstances, two fists are naturally difficult to beat four hands, and Costa's form today is clearly within the so-called normal range.

So, taking the initiative on the field, the Fiorentina players, under the command of Redondo and Effenberg, constantly launched an offensive towards the gate guarded by Kahn!

In the 23rd minute of the game, Redondo and Effenberg played a one-two in the middle to play a rash steal Jeremes, and the latter picked up the ball and passed it to Ronaldo. The tiger-minded alien easily shook off his marker Mateus with a sudden acceleration, received a pass from Effenberg, and then fired into the far corner of the net against a well-rounded Kahn to open the scoring for Fiorentina and bring the two teams back on the same page!

Ronaldo's goal caused a lot of panic among the Bayern players, as they prepared for the game to hold on to the first-leg advantage. Less than half an hour after the whistle blew, their side was breached by their opponents, doesn't this show that most of the tactical set-ups they made before the game about defensive counter-attacks have become useless?

After all, with the two sides already back on the same starting line, Fiorentina no longer need to press the back line as Heathfield envisioned, leaving a large amount of space at the back, but can continue to put pressure on the Bayern defense while also dedicating enough energy to take care of their own defense and avoid the possibility of being counterattacked by them.

With the opponent already able to tighten the fence, what's the point of a defensive counterattack on your side?

Therefore, even the Germans, who were known for their willpower, could not help but waver in the face of such a shape.

The Fiorentina players did a good job of implementing Capello's principle of killing you while you are sick, seizing the opportunity of the Bayern players' lack of concentration, and continuing to launch onslaught after the game restarted, without giving the opponent a chance to make adjustments at all!

Because the Fiorentina players also know very well that this group of Bayern players is not much worse than them in terms of experience, and if they are allowed to adjust themselves, then the game will be difficult to play......

As a result, in the remaining 20 minutes of the first half, Fiorentina suppressed Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga hegemon, in the half, and thousands of Bayern fans watched the players they supported exhausting for defense, and they couldn't spare any extra energy to put into counterattacks!

In the 42nd minute, after nearly 20 minutes of indiscriminate bombardment, the crumbling visitors finally collapsed under Inzaghi's goalmouth shot. Kahn, who saved Bayern Munich countless times with a series of brilliant remedies, was powerless to watch the ball fly into his goal.

2-0, Fiorentina finally caught up with the end of the first half and completed the overtake of Bayern on aggregate!
