PS1: This is the update on Saturday, a little late. I hope that all book friends don’t care too much about the update time. I’ll guarantee that I won’t stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

At 9 p.m. on April 21, Fiorentine fans left Frankie Stadium disappointed. Because in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals that just ended, Purple Lily failed to easily defeat Chelsea, which was plagued by financial crisis as expected, but instead tied with the Blues led by Ranieri in a 90-minute game time!

Heinkes was also quite helpless about this result. Although he had imagined before the game that Chelsea would focus on defensive counterattacks and designed corresponding cracking methods for this, he did not expect Ranieri to be so shameless and gave up the word counterattack. From the beginning of the game, he set up a bus in front of the goal and used an iron barrel formation to take away a draw at Frankie Stadium!

Although Fiorentina is not short of weapons to break the iron barrel formation, such as Pirlo's set pieces, Barack and De Rossi's long shots, and Vieri's strong destructive power on the opponent's defense line, all of which can help Purple Lily effectively deal with Chelsea's bus tactics. Unfortunately, Fiorentina's luck today is really poor. Most of their set pieces and long shots are either out of the goal range or are destroyed by Chelsea players in the middle, and it is difficult to pose an effective threat to the Blues' goal.

The most important thing is that the Fiorentine player was very unlucky to meet a very good-looking Cudicini in this game. This goalkeeper who had not played much in Italy soon became the main goalkeeper of Chelsea after coming to Great Britain on the opposite side of the English Channel. His outstanding performance even forced De Huye, who was the second national goalkeeper of the Netherlands at the time. In this Champions League semi-final, Cudicini's performance became the key to Chelsea's escape from the away game. This Italian goalkeeper not only showed his style as a general on the court, making the team's defense more airtight, but also blocked all the balls that his teammates missed out of the goal.

Even Inzagi's shot in front of the goal, which was close to him, was blocked out of the bottom line with one hand. It is conceivable how outstanding Kudicini is today.

Of course, if you want to select Chelsea's biggest contributor to draw Fiorentina away, it is naturally Chelsea coach Ranieri. If the maker had not formulated a complete set of targeted defensive systems before the game and curbed Fiorentina's offensive well, it would be absolutely impossible to withstand Zi Lily's extremely sharp attack by relying solely on the personal performance of Chelsea players.

While this game made people re-recognize Cudicini and Ranieri, many people also recognized the fact that Vieri, as the Fiorentine forward ace, has begun to slide from the peak and no longer has the terrifying dominance of the past on the offensive end.

If this is not the case, then when Fiorentina cannot open the situation with set pieces and long-range shooting tactics, Purple Lily can also use Vieri's personal ability to defeat the opponent. After all, Vieri's destructive power to the defense line at its peak is terrifying, and almost no defender can successfully defend this Italian tank in one-on-one situation. The defender with a poor level cannot stop him even if he goes up two or three.

Now, Chelsea successfully defended Vieri with the young Terry and the old Deselli alone, which is enough to show a lot of things.

It is foreseeable that how to solve the lack of Florence's ability to overcome difficulties after Vieri's old age will become a problem that Heinquez must solve this summer.

However, before that, what Heinx had to solve first was Chelsea, the Fiorentina, on the road to defending the Champions League.

Half a month later, the second leg of the two sides started on time at Chelsea's home court Stamford Bridge Stadium. The Fiorentine players who came from afar were ready to teach the home team a lesson here so that they knew that the last draw was just an accident.

Since they had a blank roster with Chelsea in the first round, if Fiorentina wants to advance to the Champions League final, they must first score goals in this game so that they can take the initiative on the road to the finals.

At this time, Fiorentina had already won the Serie A championship this season ahead of schedule and did not need to be distracted by the league battlefield anymore. Therefore, the purpose of Heinkes sending all the main players in this game is very clear, that is, to let the team reach the finals again and win the fourth Champions League championship in his coaching career!

In the eyes of most people, the winner of this game is no suspense. After all, compared with the powerful and star-studded Fiorentina, the Chelsea led by Ranieri does seem a bit shabby. You know, at this time, the most famous star in the Blues formation is still the two veterans Zora and Deselli who have entered their twilight years of their career. Further down are Hasselbaink, Lampard and Terry. It can be said that the Blues are now old and young, and they are still just playing a glass man. So no matter how you look at it, Fiorentina's winning odds are much larger than Chelsea.

Sure enough, after the start of the game, Fiorentina quickly took the initiative on the field with its strength and technical advantage above the opponent. Chelsea, who had the advantage of the home court, lost steadily and could only huddle in the half, looking like they were going to lose the ball at any time.

However, just when people thought that Fiorentina broke through Chelsea's goal and it was only a matter of time, the storm changed suddenly: in the 25th minute of the game, Zanbrotta's cross was cleared by Terry to Lampard who retreated to defend. The latter immediately passed the ball to Glencier on the right after getting the ball. The Danish Flying Wing dribbled the ball at the fastest speed and broke through Fiorentina's left defense line and sent a cross!

Haselbaink, who followed in the middle, shot ten meters in front of the goal was blocked by Buffon. However, the world's number one goalkeeper was unable to stop Zora's subsequent follow-up shot, and could only watch the ball fly into the gate behind him!

One to zero! Chelsea broke through Fiorentina's goal with an extremely standard quick counterattack, gaining the upper hand in this semi-final match for the first time!

Although after the game restarted, the Fiorentine players who were behind in the score launched an extremely fierce offensive and suppressed the home team in half, facing Ranieri's carefully designed bus tactics, Zi Lily's offensive always only bloomed but did not bear fruit, creating many scoring opportunities, but they just couldn't get the goal they wanted.

In the end, defending champion Fiorentina suffered a Waterloo at Stamford Bridge Stadium, and was defeated by Chelsea led by Ranieri. She bid farewell to the Champions League stage with great regret, and revealed the biggest upset in the Champions League this season! Mobile users are allowed to visit http://m.piaotian.net
