PS: In the new week, I will ask you for recommendation votes here...

Although he was scored three goals by his opponent in the first half, the Athletic Bilbao players did not give up their plans to play. Under the leadership of the team's core Guerrero, they continued to launch an offensive towards the goal of Fiorentina, trying to maintain their dignity as masters at the San Mames Stadium.

However, ideals are full, reality is skinny. Although Athletic Bilbao, as the runner-up winner of La Liga last season, has a very good starting lineup, like many teams that have just happened in a certain season, their main lineup is not inferior to those giants. However, when you look at the depth and hardness of the bench, it is no different from Tofu Scramble, and you can't deal with the situation of multi-line combat. If you have to go hand in hand in hand in the European battle and at home, then the outcome of these teams will often be quite miserable.

The most typical one is the Celta in Zhuang Mingge's previous life. They finished fourth in La Liga in the 2002-03 season. Although they reached the top 16 of the Champions League in the next season, their performance in the league was terrible. When the season ended, they were even more relegated in disgrace!

Therefore, while the overall strength and the individual quality of players were steadily inferior to Athletic Bilbao, the Fiorentine players did not give the Basque lion any chance to turn the tables in the second half, but instead took advantage of the opponent's opportunity to push the ball up again with a quick counterattack and sneak attack!

In the end, Fiorentina defeated Athletic Bilbao four-one away, and ranked first in the group stage with two wins in the Champions League group stage this season!

Then, Fiorentina, who returned to Italy, welcomed the team's first home game in the last five games four days later. This time, their opponent was Udinese, who lost many main players such as Bierkhof and the team's coach during the summer transfer period.

On October 4, Fiorentina, who finally returned to the Frankie Stadium, welcomed Udinese who came to challenge. Because the team had just played a Champions League game with Athletic Bilbao in the middle of the week, Capello decisively adopted a rotation system for the starting lineup in this game, completely copying the starting lineup used against AC Milan a week ago.

Goalkeepers Toldo, Robert Carlos and Madawikia are separated, Stam and Matrazi continue to partner with the starting center back, Gattuso, Zanetti and Pirlo, the three local young players form the midfield, Dinatale, Ronaldo and Ljubéri form Fiorentina's offensive trident in the frontcourt.

For Udinese, after losing generals such as Bielhof and Hervig this summer, Old Pozzo bought Argentine striker Roberto Sousa as the stand-in for German center, and at the same time introduced Morten Bisgard, who was invincible in Denmark, and hired Decanho to take over Zacheroni's position as the head coach.

Although there are many young players in Fiorentina's starting lineup, many people have sufficient confidence in Purple Lily's victory in this game. On the one hand, it is because the lineup that Capello has been verified by AC Milan in actual combat, and its strength has been recognized by the public; on the other hand, it is because Udinese has suffered heavy losses in personnel and his strength has been greatly affected.

However, the game process was obviously not as smooth as expected. After the newly appointed Decanho retained part of Zacheroni's offensive legacy, he systematically organized Udinese's defense system, making Wuji's defense no longer as full of loopholes as the Zacheroni era.

Faced with a Udinese who has learned how to defend, Fiorentina's players seemed to be a little helpless in the game. Although Ronaldo's breakthrough was still sharp, Dinatale and Lyonberg were lost in Udinese's defensive system without exception, leaving the aliens in this game always in a difficult situation of fighting alone.

Fortunately, Udinese, who lost Bielhof, also faced some trouble on the offensive end. Poggy in the Trident is in a sluggish state this season, while Amoruso and Robert Sousa have not yet formed a tacit understanding and are in a situation of fighting on their own, which makes the visiting team unable to tear open Fiorentina's defense and score.

In this way, with both offensive players in the same period of sluggishness, the two teams maintained the zero-to-zero score for most of the game.

"The referee blew the whistle to the end of the game! Now Fiorentine fans can finally spend a weekend with peace of mind! With Matrazi heading up Pirlo's corner kick in the 69th minute, helping Fiorentine defeat Udinese 1-0 at home and won two consecutive league wins! Currently, Purple Lily tied for second in the league with three wins and one loss and Juventus in the league standings, and Inter Milan ranked first. The Nerazzurri currently leads the standings with one point advantage."

After this round of league, the national team once again began to issue a call to the players. In the next week, all national teams located in Europe will fight against each other for a place in the European Cup finals.

Vieri, Nesta and seven other players went to the old Martini to report. Dinatale did not receive the call from the Italian national team this time, which also made him very frustrated. In addition, Hepia rushed to Finland, Stam flew to Amsterdam, Lungberg to Sweden, and Voger arrived in Switzerland... Under the call of the head coaches of various national teams, a large area of ​​the training ground for the first team of Florence was suddenly vacant, and only a few people including Desanctis were left at the training base to follow the coaching staff of Florence to train.

As for Effenberg, who had been rejected by the national team for four years, because former German national team coach Fogtz was dismissed due to poor record after the French World Cup, the newly appointed coach Ribeck decisively revoked the ban on Effenberg in order to achieve a good result in the European Cup two years later and extended an olive branch to Tigers to return to the national team.

However, the Tiger, who is in his thirties, rejected the old coach's kindness - his family knows his own affairs, and Effenberg knows that although he can still be domineering on the court now, it is obviously unlikely to maintain a high level of performance in the national team and club at the same time.

Therefore, after considering a summer, Effenberg decided to continue to withdraw from the national team and play for the club wholeheartedly - the fools in German football over the years can see that the tiger does not want to go to this muddy water; and in addition, Fiorentina still firmly supports him at the most difficult time of his career, and he does not want to let the club suffer because of the national team. Although his personality is a little hot, Effenberg is not an ungrateful person.

Although many German fans regret the Tigers' decision, it is just a pity. After all, Effenberg has not appeared in the national team in the past four years, so this time most fans just want to maintain the status quo.
