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.

The starting lineup arranged by Mourinho is completely beyond the expectations of most people. After all, although Fiorentina consumed a lot of money in direct conversations with Juventus last weekend, there was no big problem to let these players occasionally stick to their game with Liverpool.

However, in this key game that is related to the final four tickets of the Champions League, Mourinho not only excluded Pirlo from the starting lineup, but also allowed Arteta, a recognized "parallel" to form a midfield dual core with Barack, and jointly responsible for the extremely critical midfield organization work!

You should know that since joining Fiorentina from Glasgow Rangers last summer, Arteta has not made a debut because it has not yet integrated into the team's tactical system, which has forced the Purple Lily to face the embarrassing situation of lacking soldiers at the beginning of the season; then made a fatal mistake in the game against Brescia, causing the three-pointer that Fiorentina should have become one point, giving Juventus the opportunity to narrow the gap between the two sides. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Arteta is just like the previous players such as Mendeta, Gerard, and Farinos, who are only suitable for small and medium-sized teams. When the competition is more fierce, the giants will only end up sitting on the bench.

I'll take a look, what's the rhythm? Sure enough, after seeing Mourinho's arrangement of troops, Benitez couldn't help but be stunned for a while. Even though he was as smart as he could not see the intention of the Portuguese's move. So, under random thoughts, Benitez couldn't help but think wrongly, thinking Mourinho was deliberately expressing his contempt for him, and thinking that even a parallel player like Arteta could lead the team to defeat Liverpool he coached.

What is the head coach of Fiorentina called Mourinho thinking about? He actually let Arteta start on such a critical occasion? There must be a limit to looking down on people! Benitez took it for granted that the reason why Mourinho put Arteta on the starting lineup was because of this. Therefore, Benitez's idea of ​​winning this game was even stronger. Benitez does not want to be ridiculed by those unscrupulous media after the game, as "a head coach who cannot even deal with by Fiorentina led by parallel goods."

Of course Mourinho would not know Benitez’s idea, and it would be even more impossible to know that his arrangement completely aroused Benitez and Liverpool players’ desire to win. Of course, even if he knew what these people were thinking, he would probably not adjust the team’s starting lineup.

Mourinho, who has been silently paying attention to Espanyol training, is still aware of Arteta's ability. The Portuguese knows that perhaps in the Serie A, where defense is extremely important and the offensive space is generally very narrow, Arteta, who has first been in contact with Italian football, is somewhat unacceptable to such a way of playing. However, against a team like Liverpool, who has a rough defensive system and does not have enough control over the space of the team in the half-court and a straight-forward style, Arteta's advantage of having a good overall view of the overall situation can undoubtedly be used well.

Although the Premier League has gradually gotten rid of the shadow of high-flying and long-passing rushing under the promotion of many stars and head coaches, and Arsenal and Chelsea are among the best, Liverpool is obviously not among them. With years of influence from Hollier, Liverpool has still failed to get rid of the traditional British team's game style. Even if Benitez brings technical players such as Alonso and Garcia to the Reds, it will be difficult to change this situation for a while.

That's why Mourinho arranged Arteta to start in this key battle that concerns the team's future for this season's Champions League. On the one hand, Arteta, who has played in the Scottish Premier League for two seasons, is more familiar with the style of Premier League teams and is easy to get into the state; on the other hand, it is because Liverpool's type team is most suitable for Arteta to play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses.

After the game started, Baros and Cowell, who were standing in the middle of the stadium, quickly drove the ball, intending to take advantage of the opportunity that the Fiorentine players had not yet fully entered the game state, so as to launch a sneak attack to build a leading advantage at the beginning of the game, so as to take the initiative in their own hands!

Although Cowell and his team played well, how could Fiorentina, who was extremely good at engaging in sudden attacks, fall into trouble? Faced with the offensive launched by Liverpool players, Marklele and others, who were prepared, organized the defense line in an orderly manner and directly blocked Liverpool's offensive outside their own penalty area, forcing the Reds to end the attack with a hasty long shot, without posing any threat to Purple Lily.

"It seems that a high-level striker needs to be introduced this summer." Seeing Barroche almost become an invisible man under the care of Nesta and Lucio, Benitez thought with a little regret, "Although Gerald and Garcia both have good scoring abilities, they can't always expect the midfield to come forward and rescue the master in danger. If such a scene always happens, what's the use of Barroche and other strikers?"

Irving's departure not only made Liverpool lose the only top star in the team, but also made the Reds no longer have a stable firepower point on the front line. Barroche, Cice, and Morientes are not very famous, but in Liverpool, their goal-scoring ability is obviously not proportional to their fame.

The direct consequence of the failure of starting strikers such as Barroche is that Fiorentine players can devote more energy to defending the Liverpool midfield and attacking; at the same time, Fiorentine players can also invest more troops on the offensive end, using the method of attack instead of defense to reduce their defensive pressure.

However, what made Benitez feel thankful was that although his offensive momentum had reached a stagnation due to the lack of forward strength, Fiorentina did not score a goal during this period. Ronaldo, Arteta and others both passed some good goals on the court, and created many threats. However, whether it was Vieri or Dinatale, they obviously forgot to bring shooting boots tonight, and repeatedly missed goals.
