PS2: Thanks to book friend "zzllss" for his reward.

Speaking of Anelka, the French striker who transferred to Real Madrid at a sky-high price last summer was in the same dilemma as his compatriot Henry. Like Henry, Anelka, who came to a new environment, did not integrate well into Real Madrid's tactical system, but was still in a goal drought, which naturally aroused dissatisfaction among Real Madrid's fans.

Former Spanish national team coach Clemente said bluntly in an interview: "The money used to acquire Anelka is more valuable for charity."

However, unlike Henry, who is still a little shy and impatient, Anelka is more withdrawn and has a stronger ability to cause trouble off the court. Therefore, in the face of accusations and criticisms from all sides, Anelka did not respond to people's doubts with goals, but instead caused more trouble with practical actions, further confirming people's various negative views on him!

Therefore, as Real Madrid's acting head coach, Boske did not write Anelka's name on the starting lineup in this game, but put him on the bench. In Boske's eyes, Anelka has his abilities, but his preference for fighting alone is in the same way as the players' personal abilities are European first-class Fiorentina. Letting this French striker start will not bring any benefits to Real Madrid on the court, but will instead bring unnecessary chaos to the team.

Of course, if the opponent is replaced by Bayern Munich or Valencia, who also plays overall football but does not have outstanding individual defense capabilities, then Bosque will choose to put Abelka on the starting list to further strengthen the offense, rather than sending Savio as a assaulter to ensure that the attack on the wing will not be strangled by the opponent.

After talking about the home team Real Madrid, let's look at the Fiorentine's side. The starting list of Heinquez is obviously lacking in the eyes of many people: Tordo, Zambrota, Nesta, Stam, Carlos, Redondo, Marklele, Effenberg, Rymbéry, Vieri and Shevchenko. This is the eleven starting players of Fiorentine's first leg in the Champions League semi-finals!

Although fans are so familiar with the players in Florence that they are no longer familiar with, and even have aesthetic fatigue, it is undeniable that Florence's starting lineup can indeed be regarded as one of the most powerful starting eleven players among European clubs today!

Of course, if Lungberg is replaced by Ronaldo who cannot play due to injury, then even one of this can be removed.

When the twenty-two players from Fiorentina and Real Madrid stood in their respective halfs, the referee of the game, Swedish Frisk, blew the whistle in his mouth and announced that the game had officially begun!

After Frisk blew the opening whistle, Real Madrid, who won the right to kick off the ball, quickly launched an offensive from both wings of the court to Florence under the organization of Seedorf!

Faced with the wing offensive launched by Real Madrid, the Fiorentine players as the defensive side did not feel panic: Redondo and Marklele immediately set up a barrier in front of the back line to prevent Savio and other wing players from cutting in and shooting, and Seidorf and other midfielders from inserting long shots.

Seeing Fiorentina defending his inward line so strictly, Savio naturally had no interest in driving the ball into the crowd - although he was confident in his dribbling skills, the Brazilian winger was not a brainless young man. He knew how unwise it was to challenge Redondo and Marklele's defense alone, and Effenberg's assisting defense.

So, Savio, who gave up his intimacy, suddenly changed direction, and then used two bicycles in a row, forcing Zanbrotta to not dare to easily stick it on to defend himself, and then swung his left foot and made a cross!

Zanbrotta reacted immediately, stretched his right foot desperately to try to block Savio's cross, but the Brazilian grasped the timing of the foot very well. The ball just flew past Zanbrotta, avoided his defense and then headed straight to Fiorentina's penalty area!

At the same time, Morontes, who was standing in the penalty area in Fiorentina, showed the tacit understanding between him and Raul at the scene. The young Spanish center hit the ball with his head and gently pushed Savio's cross to Raul, who was hiding behind him but no one was guarding him!

After receiving the header from his forward partner and friend, Real Madrid Golden Boy glanced at Toldo who was waiting in front of him, and used his left foot to dodge a shooting angle, ready to push the ball to the far corner of the goal!

Raul believed that under such circumstances, even the famous Thordo could not stop him from scoring the goal!

Although Toldo was indeed unable to stop Raul's close shot, this did not mean that others could not stop it. Just as Raul bent his bow and was about to shoot the ball under his feet into the goal in front of him, a crisp whistle made the Real Madrid No. 7 stop his movements!

Not sure what was wrong, Raul looked at the position where the whistle sounded in confusion, but his question was quickly answered - there, the lineman raised the small flag in his hand expressionlessly, indicating that Morientes was offside when receiving the ball, and Real Madrid's attack was invalid!

It turned out that at the moment when Savio made a cross, the other three defenders of Fiorentina took a step forward together and threw Raul and Morientes in the offside position at the same time!

In this way, the defenders of Fiorentina used a successful offside to prevent Real Madrid from attacking the first round after the game began!

At this time, the fans also saw what happened just now through slow motion replay on the big screen of the stadium. Most people were amazed in their hearts for the tacit understanding of Fiorentina's defense line. After all, offside is a defensive way that tests the defender's ability and tacit understanding. As long as one person fails to keep up with his teammates in time and fails to throw Morientes and Raul in the offside position in time, then Fiorentina will give Real Madrid players a chance to have a single shot!

It is precisely because of this that when people see Fiorentina defenders make such decisive and resolute offside moves, people praise it because few teams dare to use this tactic of failing to succeed in important occasions like the Champions League semi-finals!

However, although Fiorentina's offside tactic was very successful this time, Real Madrid fans obviously would not buy the visiting team's accounts. They booed in the stands and put pressure on Fiorentina players and referees!
