Since the match between Fiorentina and Manchester United was designated by UEFA as the highlight of the Champions League quarterfinals, the referee this time is the German famous whistle "dentist" Merck, and his presence can at least avoid most controversial situations on the court.

After the game began, the two sides immediately fought fiercely in the midfield.

However, what surprised Manchester United fans was that the Golden Four midfielder, which they talked about, was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Fiorentina midfielder!

Is this still the Manchester United swept the Premier League?!

Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in the box watching the game with a pair of dark circles, was not surprised by this scene. After all, from a technical perspective, Manchester United's midfielder can indeed go sideways in the Premier League. However, to the whole of Europe, the skills of these players are indeed not particularly outstanding. This can be seen from the core of Manchester United's current midfield organization or Irish tough guy Roy Keane. Therefore, Manchester United has not done a very good job in controlling the rhythm of the game. Compared with Fiorentina, which has two major killing weapons, Effenberg and Redondo, it is no less than a fraction of the difference.

What's more, Fiorentina has two technical midfielders, Djokaf and Rui Costa, on the bench. Manchester United will undoubtedly seek death if they want to fight Zi Lily in this regard.

Moreover, even the year when Manchester United won the triple-champion, their midfield did not actually have much advantage. If Lippi hadn't given Ferguson the internal strife in the semi-finals, he would have been defeated by Juventus long ago; later, he was suppressed by Bayern in the Champions League final. If Heathfield hadn't replaced Mattus in advance, the Red Devils' second Champions League championship might have been far away.

The lack of an organized midfielder is actually related to the general environment of English football. The organized midfielder that can control the rhythm of the midfield is quite rare in the Premier League. High-intensity physical confrontation and fierce tackles have left the midfield organizers with almost no soil for growth in England.

The most powerful aspect of the so-called outstanding genius players promoted by the English media is often their breakthrough rather than their ability to organize games. Whether it is George Best, Hodel and Gascoin, or Joe Cole, who later claimed to be the best skill in England, their organizational skills are not outstanding in the whole of Europe.

Therefore, when Manchester United's midfield was suppressed by Fiorentina, the Red Devils' offense began to become chaotic, and Fiorentina's offense naturally became much smoother. Effenberg and Redondo continued to create opportunities for Fiorentina through passing balls. Carlos and Zambrota on both wings also took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the midfield and frequently pressed to participate in the attack, creating opportunities for Ronaldo and Inzaggi who were at the forefront.

Although Inzagi and Ronaldo are not as tall as Parist and David May, they have to surpass Manchester United's central defenders in terms of flexibility.

Therefore, Fiorentina players have repeatedly used the Manchester United defenders' tall and heavy, and the slow turning around to hit them behind them. Especially David May, whose stability and personal ability are obviously a weakness of Manchester United, became the number one target of Ronaldo and Inzaghi.

Seeing his two central defenders dying under the impact of the Fiorentine striker, Ferguson, who was standing on the sidelines, shook his head, and he couldn't think of any way to curb his opponent's attack.

Although Manchester United's first-team centre-backs have a large number of centre-backs this season, in fact, the performance is reassuring enough. Only veteran Parist. David May, who replaced the Bruce position, who left the transfer, is average. As a versatile Phil Neville is more suitable to play in the midfield rather than being a centre-back. As for Norwegian Ronnie Johnson, he was forced to miss a one-month game in previous team training, otherwise David May would not start in this game.

When Bruce was still there, no matter which central defender he cooperated with, Manchester United's defense would not seem too bad, because the Manchester United captain would always give them a finishing shot in time. Unexpectedly, as soon as Bruce left this season, all the weaknesses on Manchester United's defense line began to be exposed!

Although in the league, Ferguson can allow players to use active offense to cover up the shortcomings in the defense line, what Ferguson did not expect was that in the Champions League, Capello actually saw the weak side of Manchester United's powerful offensive firepower at a glance, and also used Ronaldo's breakthrough and Inzaghi's agility to continuously impact Manchester United's defense line!

If they had not seen this correctly, Ronaldo and the others would not have been so unscrupulous to directly attack Manchester United's two central defenders from the beginning of the game. They did this simply to let the two central defenders of Manchester United consume a lot of physical energy from the beginning of the game, thus establishing a certain advantage in the next time!

Capello's actions make sense. You should know that among the four major European leagues, only the Premier League has no winter break, and the Premier League has four more league games in a season than Serie A. In addition, there are many kinds of cup games, which consumes a lot of physical fitness of Manchester United players.

Therefore, in terms of physical fitness, Manchester United could not be compared with Fiorentina, which had adjusted its state after half a month of winter break, not to mention that Capello took this situation where he kept mobilizing Manchester United defenders to chase back.

Although Keane is strong enough, he is only alone. Faced with the joint efforts of Effenberg and Redondo, the Irish could only choose one to defend, and the other one could only be handed over to his teammates.

However, this reflects another weakness of Manchester United's midfielder: the serious lack of defensive power.

Although Scholes, Beckham and Giggs are outstanding in running ability and willpower, this does not mean that they can defend against Fiorentina players. You should know that with Zhuang Mingge's deliberate construction, the Fiorentina midfielder's ability to confront is not weaker than Manchester United. Redondo, Davis and others are even better than the slightly thin Giggs and others in physical conditions!

Therefore, as long as one general defeats Keane, Ferguson's only defensive piece in the midfield, Manchester United's defense will be directly exposed to Fiorentina's firepower!

Effenberg, who has a hot temper and competitive temper, is naturally the best candidate in Capello's mind, and the German tiger took on this task without any surprise. At present, Effenberg has done a very good job, using constant running and endless nonsense to pull the gate in front of Manchester United's defense line.

Keane also knew what the purpose of Effenberg's move was, but he did not dare to relax his defense against the Germans. German football has been brilliant for so many years, and everyone knows that these German players all had unreasonable long shots. If Effenberg seized the opportunity to enter the previous one, Manchester United would be passive next.

Moreover, Keane dared not use fouls to end Effenberg. After all, this is the Champions League, not the one-acre three-point land of Manchester United in the Premier League. I heard that Fiorentina has a very good relationship with UEFA President Johnson, but Keane is not in the mood to experiment with what kind of ticket he would get to UEFA for a bad offender.

So, after the game began, Manchester United lost control of the midfield bit by bit and was suppressed by Fiorentina at home!
