Ranieri is worried about how to use three strikers to deal with the devil's schedule in November, and a head coach in Madrid, 1,280 kilometers away from Fiorentina, is also worried about tomorrow's game.

For Real Madrid coach Bardano, he has only one goal to coach Real Madrid this season, that is, to continue to lead the team to win the heavyweight championship - breaking Barcelona's four-year lockdown last season to win the La Liga championship, which allowed the Argentine legend to firmly sit on the coaching position of Real Madrid. This season, he naturally hopes to lead Real Madrid to a higher level, complete two consecutive La Liga championships or lead the team to regain the Champions League championship that has been lost for nearly 30 years.

However, from the beginning of the season, the competitive state of Real Madrid players was very wrong. First, they were humiliated by La Coruna in the Spanish Super Cup before the start of the season (zero-3 away and 1-2 at home), and they lost the first championship this season.

The big loss in the Spanish Super Cup caused Real Madrid to suffer a serious blow at the beginning of the season. After all, under the operation of head coach Bardano for a summer, Real Madrid cleaned up many veterans during the transfer period. While restoring the team's vitality and reducing the average age, it naturally brought shortcomings such as insufficient experience and large fluctuations in the player's state. The crushing defeat in the Super Cup obviously hit the confidence of these young boys.

At the same time, after Michel Lauderup, the main midfielder of last season, Bardano promoted the young midfielder Guti from the B team and invested a lot of money to buy enough players such as Petkovic and Lincon. Judging from the player flow, Real Madrid's operations should be able to make up for the gap in Lauderup's departure. However, in fact, the loss caused by the Danish superstar's departure to Real Madrid can be compared with the later Figo's departure from Barcelona!

Under the multiple effects of these adverse factors, Real Madrid, as the defending champion of La Liga, only achieved one win, two draws and three losses after six rounds of the league, including a "feat" of losing to Oviedo and Athletic Bilbao at home.

In the Champions League, Real Madrid's performance can only be described as average or even bad. In the first round, Real Madrid beat Bucharest star 1-0 away. Although they scored a little less goals, they still successfully achieved a good start in the Champions League.

However, Real Madrid's performance was not so strong next. In the second round of the group stage, the White Cavaliers were knocked to the ground by a group of strong men from Scotland. Three to zero, Real Madrid lost at home.

The next step is naturally the away draw in Fiorentina as mentioned earlier. Real Madrid fans said they could still accept the result of this game. After all, La Liga teams are always in a weak position when facing Italian teams with inconsistent styles. A year ago, Milan gave Barcelona a four-to-zero in the Champions League final.

Such a bad result obviously shook the position of head coach Bardano. The fans are forgetful. They don’t care whether he was a hero who overthrew Barcelona’s rule last season. Their logic is generally very simple. After the team introduced many new players, they did not achieve corresponding results, which was the head coach’s fault.

Therefore, calls for Valdano to be dismissed began to appear among Real Madrid's fans, and there was a large market gradually. Real Madrid's senior executives also put pressure on Valdano at this time. The newly appointed chairman Sans did not want to see such a bad situation in the first year of his term.

Under tremendous pressure, the Argentine coach didn't even go home. He squatted on the side of the training field every day and trained the players hard, trying to improve the team's condition.

Valdano's efforts have achieved some results. As of the second leg of the group stage with Fiorentina, Real Madrid's form has finally recovered, with four wins, three draws and three losses. It has remained unbeaten in the last four rounds of the league, making Real Madrid fans seem to see the hope of the team catching up with the next championship trophy in the subsequent games, so they let go of their own head coach.

The fans were calm, but Valdano did not dare to relax. You should know that less than a month ago, these fans were wandering around the club's training base every day and shouting that they had been dismissed. The Argentine, who felt the first time that the head coach of the giants was difficult to do, hid in the office for several consecutive nights after the 10th round of the league match with Albasett, trying to find out the opponent's weakness.

After all, after the third round of the European Champions League group stage, Real Madrid ranked third in the group with only one win, one draw and one loss, and two points behind the second place Rangers. If they cannot win this game with Fiorentina, then their best result after the fourth round is to face a situation where they are still one point behind the second place (Royals lost to Bucharest star); at worst, they will face a five-point gap (Fiorentina and Rangers both win).

For Real Madrid, who still need to grab points in the league, they cannot waste too much energy on the European court, so they must win this game with Fiorentina!

For Ranieri, the fourth round of the match against Real Madrid must be won. After all, once you lose or just get a draw, Fiorentina will be quite passive in the subsequent games. The pot-makers do not think that a poor and weak Romanian team can stop the Scots' footsteps. Miracle will indeed happen in this world, but it will only favor those who are prepared and who have no faith. Obviously, the Romanians who have no faith will not be favored by the goddess of luck.

So once you lose in this game, Fiorentina will fall to the third place in the group (the same points as Real Madrid and the mutual record is at a disadvantage), which means that Fiorentina must do its best in the next two rounds of group matches. This situation is something that the Fiorentina, who is not in short supply of strikers, does not want to see. Ranieri and Zhuang Mingge both hope that the team can win this game and lock in a group qualifying place in advance so as to retain the physical strength to deal with the upcoming devil schedule. After all, if you qualify in advance in the Champions League, you will strategically let the water in the Champions League and the Italian Cup. With Florence's staffing configuration, you can still deal with these fierce battles.

So, Fiorentina can't afford to lose in this game!
