Just as Zhuang Mingge was thinking about it, the players on both sides had already stood on the court and were waiting for the referee's opening whistle.

Seeing that the referee was slow to blew the whistle and the players on both sides were very dissatisfied with the cold on the court. Batistuta and the opponent's captain Onopko had to go over and "remind" the referee to pay attention to the expressions of the players on the court.

So, the referee was very reasonable and blew the whistle to the start of the game five minutes in advance.

After hearing the opening whistle, players from either side immediately began to run wildly - if they don't move, they will be frozen to death by the damn weather.

The coaches and substitutes on the side of the court are not as lucky as those on the court. The cold and hard bench has become the least popular place for players and coaches. Substitutes are willing to do preparations tirelessly on the sidelines, and do not like to stay in the seats for too long. As for the members of the coaching staff, in this case, they also exercise back and forth on the sidelines on the ground on the ground's grounds to "assist the players to warm up."

So the substitute players kept doing exercises on the side of the court to make their bodies warmer. The fans who stood together in the stands were surprised to find that there were two more Bielsa on the edge of the court (Argentine coach Bielsa always likes to walk around the sidelines).

The current Spartak team in Moscow, due to the turmoil in the country and the economic depression, is far from the foundation of dominating the Soviet Union when they were: the two generations of "tsars" trained by the team - Shalimov and Mostovoy - have successively switched to foreign leagues and worked hard for their own careers.

Speaking of Shalimov, I have to feel sorry for him. After losing in the "Russian Green Mutiny" led by himself more than a year ago, this player felt like he had changed his body. Although there was no physical problem, his mental state plummeted. Inter Milan, with him as the core, was only 2 points behind the leader AC Milan before Shalimov declined, ranking third in Serie A.

After the mutiny, Inter Milan's record declined all the way, and in the end they had to work hard to relegate.

Such a promising football superstar fell (the Russian was only 25 years old at the time) - although he was later dug up Duisburg by his mentor Lining (Duisburg chairman Fishdick even proudly said, "Although we paid a considerable transfer fee, it was worth it. We are proud to win such a star." Captain Sch Biguer was even more impressed: "With Shalimov, our playing style will become a real work of art."), but due to the team's poor start, head coach Lining was fired, and Shalimov was inevitably "involved", and since then disappeared in the football world and became a meteor that hurriedly passed by.

The offensive core Kalpin, who led Spartak Moscow to win the Russian Cup last season, has been sold to Real Sociedad in La Liga due to the team's financial pressure. There is only one valuable player left in the team, that is, the team's defense core and Victor Onopko, who is also the captain of the field.

...

Spartac's poor field conditions are obviously very unfavorable to Florence, which has a more dominant ground cooperation. The ball often changes the direction of the rolling due to a hidden pit or something else. This pitfall situation makes Florentine players have to give up their best pass and cut cooperation when attacking, and use more high-altitude balls to attack the opponent's goal.

Fiorentina's offensive approach was exactly what the Russians wanted. Under the command of Onopko, Spartacus' players built a tall city wall in their half and pushed all the balls that flew over. On several occasions, they headed the ball and even passed it directly to the Spartacus forward to fight back. If these forwards hadn't had the bad feet in this game, Fiorentina would have fallen behind away.

So, Ranieri, who was worried that the team would concede the ball in the game, might not even get a draw in the end, gave an order that Zhuang Mingge thought was extremely stupid - he made the whole team of Fiorentina no longer press on the offense, but began to shrink the defense.

I'll go, Zhuang Mingge wanted to scold Ranieri: If you want to play defensive counterattack, you have to choose a better venue! Didn't you see that the ground buried in this stadium is full of "mines"?! If Bati or Djokav fell and injured while fighting counterattack, it would be enough for us to cry!

What? You ask why the opponent can fight against defensively? Spartacus dares to fight back because they are used to playing on this field. They know what kind of "mechanical hidden weapons" are under which piece of turf, and of course they dare to fight like this.

Furthermore, most of the Spartac players on the court are tall and big. If they are allowed to play long passes and headers, then the Fiorentine defense line, which is at a disadvantage in height, will definitely not be able to withstand it.

As a result, the subsequent trend of the game was as Zhuang Mingge had imagined. Fiorentina, which had contracted its defense, not only did not get more scoring opportunities. Djokav and others repeatedly failed to hit the counterattack due to field factors when attacking, but were intercepted by their opponents and took advantage of the overall pressure to counterattack. If Tordo hadn't responded quickly, Fiorentina's goal would have long been declared to have fallen.

The wingers made a high ball cross on both wings of the stadium, and then the high center forward headed the ball. This simplest and rough tactic combined with this scam stadium achieved unexpected results. The Fiorentine players were exhausted from dealing with the Russians' high-altitude bombing and were suppressed in their half. They could not fight back, and the morale of the players continued to decline.

On the other hand, Spartacus players became more and more confident. In the 53rd minute of the second half, Onopko took advantage of a set piece opportunity to defeat Kripa, who was defending himself, and jumped high, pushing the ball into Fiorentina's goal. This was also the only goal in the first round.

In the end, Fiorentina lost to Spartacus, who played at home in the snowy Moscow, zero-to-one. If Zi Lily wants to advance to the Winners Cup, she must obtain more than two goal difference in the second round of the game a week later.

Ranieri is really, what should I say? This guy is indeed a good guy in terms of training players, pre-match tactical arrangements, etc.; but the on-site tactical changes are very criticized. He gave the initiative to the other party. What did this guy think...

It seems that if there is a better choice in the future, it is better to quit Ranieri. This guy who is conservative at the critical moment is just a "pot-making machine". He can integrate a team that is ready to rebuild or a loose set of sand to create good combat power, but he cannot lead Fiorentina into a wealthy family.

After the game, Zhuang Mingge was guided by Spartak staff and walked out of the stadium from a "VIP channel". Chairman Ivanov was waiting for Zhuang Mingge outside the passage with a smile, while an extended Lincoln was docking not far away.

...What's the visual sense of this secret joint? Is it an illusion? Do you have to wear a headband after getting on the bus? Before getting on the bus, Zhuang Mingge thought in a bad mood.

However, it was obvious that the other party would not treat Zhuang Mingge, the "disciple" who Berezovsky, as such. At best, he only put a layer of reflective film on the car window glass, which was just to prevent sunlight from illuminating...
