PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

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.

After eliminating Dortmund and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Fiorentina sent troops to Milan this weekend and went to Meacha Stadium to challenge Inter Milan.

Compared with Fiorentina, which is the defending champion of the Serie A, Inter Milan, at this time, seems a bit sad. The reason for this situation is mainly because the Nerazzurri opened high and closed low in the Serie A field this season. Inter Milan, who can still hold on to Fiorentina in the league before the winter break, suffered losses in Sampdoria and Perugia after the New Year. These two losses directly led to their withdrawal from the ranks of Serie A championship contenders.

As for another reason, it is because Inter Milan tied with Newcastle United in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and was in the most important home court, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on the Nerazzurri's Champions League journey. After all, the opponent was able to win his home court and scored two away goals, which is a very dangerous situation for any team. (Note: For the sake of maximizing interests, the Champions League knockout stage will basically not be scheduled to be played on the same day.)

As the head coach of Inter Milan, Cooper is naturally the biggest pressure among all. Fortunately, since he led the Nerazzurri to win back the league championship that Morati dreamed of last season, the Argentine coach is still quite stable at Inter Milan. At least now, Boss Mo still firmly believes that Cooper is the one who can lead Inter Milan to reappear the glory of the "big international era". Therefore, Morati seems very patient with this head coach. He does not change coaches like before. As soon as Inter Milan's record fluctuates or falls, he will quickly change coaches, bringing unnecessary turmoil to the team and the locker room.

Unlike Fiorentina, which has been confirmed to advance to the quarterfinals, Inter Milan, which will face a life-and-death battle with Newcastle United in the middle of next week, naturally cannot send all its main players in this game. What's more, at this stage of the league, Inter Milan has fallen behind Fiorentina in the standings, and it is basically certain that they miss the Serie A championship. There is no need for Cooper to fight with Fiorentina in this situation.

Moreover, in addition to Fiorentina, the ones ahead of Inter Milan in the league standings are their arch rival Juventus. Therefore, even if Inter Milan wins Fiorentina in this game, they will only be in vain. Inter Milan's talents are unwilling to do such stupid things that are almost like the enemy.

For the reasons above, Cooper naturally would not do his best in this game. In order to prepare for the Champions League match with Newcastle, the Argentine coach chose to hide the two main players Crespo and Mutu, and even the 18-man roster did not include their names.

It is said that after learning about Inter Milan's starting list for this game, Juventus's three giants and Lippi cursed without exception. After all, in their original plan, Mo Fox and the others were counting on Inter Milan to successfully block Fiorentina in this game, helping Juventus close the points gap with the leader, thereby increasing the chances of the Zebras' counter-winning championship. Judging from the current situation, Inter Milan is obviously unwilling to make wedding clothes for Juventus.

"Hey, Gabriel!" In the player passage at Meazza Stadium, Vieri excitedly greeted his master and big brother Batistuta, "I didn't expect to compete with you tonight. This is really a rare thing!"

It is understandable that Vieri will be so excited. Since Bati left Fiorentina for the main position of the Argentina national team, the showdown between the master and the apprentice has been a hot topic in the Italian media. Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected. Florence and Inter Milan are both super giants with strong bench depth that can produce two sets of starting lineups with almost the same strength. Therefore, whenever the two teams face each other over the years, either Vieri rests or Bati is unable to play for some reason, so it is difficult to have the opportunity to play at the same time.

Therefore, Vieri and Bati cherish every opportunity to fight directly. Especially when Bati is at the end of his career, there are naturally only a handful of opportunities for the two to compete on the same field.

"Haha, Christian, you have done a very good job over the years, much better than me, the old guy." Argentine God of War was also very pleased to see that his former apprentice has now become the leading powerful center in international football. "Even in the peak years, I have never received this title."

"Hehe, Master, what are you talking about?" Hearing Batistuta's praise, Vieri said modestly, "If you hadn't taught you well back then, I'm afraid I would still be a coolie center who only relies on brute force, how could I reach this level now?"

"Okay, don't play humility in front of me, I don't know your personality?" Batistuta interrupted Vieri with a smile and said, "By the way, I heard that you and Canalis plan to hold a wedding this summer. Has the specific date been decided?"

"Hey! How do you know about this matter? Master? I clearly kept it very secret!" Vieri was shocked when he heard Batty's inquiry. He didn't plan to make his wedding known to everyone like Beckham. "Philip (Inzaghi)! Yes! It must be him! I only told him about this!"

"Haha..." Looking at Vieri who was gritting his teeth and preparing to "clean up" Inzagi, Bati couldn't help but smile knowingly, saying that talking to this lively apprentice is indeed beneficial to physical and mental health, making him feel that he has become younger as well.

So Vieri and Bati stepped onto the court with a smile and laughed. It was not until the referee intervened that they had to stop the conversation and focus on the game in front of them.

Since most of the players Cooper sent in this game, Batistuta and Recoba, who either declined in form or affected their condition due to injuries, after the game began, Fiorentina, who was more powerful, quickly took the initiative on the court. Vieri also scored one goal in the 19th and 23rd minutes of the game with the firepower support of his teammates, helping Zi Lily establish a lead of two goals!
