The referee Kragg looked at the watch and found that it was time for the game, so the German referee blew the whistle to start the game!

The moment the whistle sounded, Vieri, standing in the middle of the stadium, immediately kicked the ball to Ronaldo beside him, announcing the official start of the Champions League final!

The alien who got the ball did not choose to pass the ball back to Effenberg or Redondo behind him, but began to dribble the ball and push forward!

The two Juventus forwards, Pierro and Otero, rushed up to defend immediately. Although their defense level was not very good, what Lippi wanted was this active defensive attitude, whether he could cut the ball and fall second.

For Italian coaches, they may be able to stand a player unable to defend his opponent, but they will never allow the player not to defend!

Faced with the attack from Otero and Pierro, Ronaldo was not panicked. He accelerated, stopped urgently, changed direction, and then accelerated, and the aliens had successfully broken out of the two of them!

However, Zidane and others, standing behind the two, did not go up to press Ronaldo after Piero and the others were passed, but began to move backwards and compress the space for the half-time.

"Tsk, are you ready to defend at the beginning of the game?" Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in the box, looked at the direction of the Juventus players' movement and thought to himself, "Lipi, you must have planned to drag the game to the penalty shootout from the beginning, right? That's nearly two hours of game time. Can these players hold on?"

Zhuang Mingge guessed correctly. Lippi had no intention of taking the initiative to attack from the beginning in this game. Because through so many experiences with Fiorentina, Silver Fox clearly realized how big the gap there is between his team and Fiorentina. Considering the huge lethality of the Fiorentina strikers in counterattacks, if Lippi chose to take the initiative to attack, it would be like seeking death. Therefore, Juventus' offensive routine in this game is very simple, which is to lure Fiorentina to press the attack and then hit the opponent's counterattack.

Pierro and Otero's mission is to stay in the frontcourt to prepare for Fiorentina's counterattack, and there is also a little harassment; Zidane's mission is to serve as the starting point of the counterattack, and to join Dilivio and others in the attack to form a secondary offensive when counterattacking, thus making Juventus' counterattack more layered.

As for defense, Lippi gave a dead order this time. Except for Pierro and Otero who remained in the frontcourt to restrain themselves, everyone else had to participate in the defense; even when necessary, even these two forwards had to retreat to their own half to participate in the defense!

Lippi’s purpose is very simple, that is, to use an iron barrel defense to drag the extremely powerful opponent in front of him into the penalty shootout, and then decide the victory and defeat with Fiorentina at that time!

By the way, the result Lippi wants to see most now is that Capello is also cautious and dare not let the team attack in a large amount of attack, but was successfully dragged into a penalty shootout, and then defeated Fiorentina by shooting penalty kicks, winning the second Champions League championship in the history of the Zebras team...

However, what surprised Lippi was that Capello showed his rather radical side at this time.

Seeing Juventus choose to counterattack defensively, Capello stood up from the coach's seat, shouted twice at the sidelines, and then made a gesture!

Zhuang Mingge, who often watches the team's training, immediately realized that Capello was ordering the team to attack!

Noting Capello's gesture, Ronaldo no longer insisted on fighting alone in the frontcourt, passing the ball back to Effenberg behind him, and then running forward - although his breakthrough ability is unparalleled, not every game can be played with several people.

Even aliens also need the assistance of their teammates on Earth.

Effenberg, who received the pass, immediately passed the ball to Carlos who was inserted on the left, and then continuously adjusted his running route according to the Brazilian's movement speed, so as not to hit the Juventus player's encirclement net and find the route of the ball.

While Effenberg was moving, Dilivio posted it up and followed the tiger in an endless manner, in case he directly shot a heavy shot at this position. The unreasonable but extremely effective long shot was a common feature of most German players during this period. Dilivio was not interested in letting Effenberg experiment in this game.

Seeing that Effenberg was stared to death and there was no good breakthrough route here, Carlos had to turn around and pass the ball back to Redondo, who was further back.

Since Juventus retreated completely before, no one around came up to harass Redondo, who was quite in the back, when he took the ball.

When he dribbled the ball into the middle circle of the court, Redondo found that no one had come to defend himself. He couldn't help but feel annoyed: When Effenberg didn't get the ball, you all followed so closely. I've been carrying the ball for a long time, but no one has come to defend me yet. Don't you look down on me?

In fact, this is just Redondo himself thinking too much. Pierro and the others didn't come up to press because his position was too far behind. After all, the defense of football games is relatively loose. The frontcourt pressing and unball running have not yet risen to the intensity of later generations. Generally, a player is qualified if he runs seven or eight kilometers per game. Under the guidance of Zhuang Mingge, the time traveler, Fiorentina is playing football that has been ahead of others for fifteen years. Except for the goalkeeper, players in other positions are almost all running more than ten kilometers per game!

This is also one of the reasons why Fiorentina's performance is so amazing. The average running gap of more than two kilometers per game is not a joke, and it is enough to allow Fiorentina to form a local situation of playing more and playing less in the game, thereby tearing open the opponent's defense line and scoring.

This time, Redondo, who felt that he was despised, observed the situation ahead, and then directly used his left foot to send a long pass in the middle of the court!

The ball drew a high parabola in the air. After crossing the highest point, it headed straight to Juventus' penalty area!

Vieri accelerated the sprint in the direction of the ball flying. He was about to jump directly at the moment the ball fell and headed the ball to give Juventus a big opening gift package!

The Fiorentine fans in the stands couldn't help but cheer, and they had already begun to imagine Vieri's heroic header in their minds!

However, Blank appeared at this time where he should appear the most. The French central defender took off before Vieri was about to hit the ball and accurately pushed the ball out of the penalty area!
