Although Lazio fans were very dissatisfied with the team's defeat to Fiorentina by a total score of 1-6 in the Italian Cup final, fortunately, since the Blue Eagles only lost Fiorentina with one goal in the second round and did not lose too miserably like in the first round, Lazio fans remained calm after the game and did not have an incident such as a riot that could easily have a vicious impact on Italian football.

At the subsequent celebration, the Fiorentine players seemed very excited. However, most of them did not win the championship trophy, but because they finally avenged the revenge of the league championship being stolen by Lazio! After all, for them who were full of titles on the honor book, the Italian Cup was actually a useless rib, and only the new players who joined last summer were really happy to win the championship.

After defeating Lazio and successfully winning the Italian Cup trophy, early in the morning of May 26, the entire Fiorentina team arrived in Paris, France by plane to prepare for the final of the Champions League two days later. Another team participating in the final, Valencia, flew to Charles de Gaulle International Airport a little later that day.

Although in the beginning of the finals, the head coaches of both sides issued a ban to the players for the purpose of keeping tactical confidentiality and reducing pressure from the players, such actions are obviously not a problem in the eyes of major sports media. They faced this situation, and fully utilized their imagination and creativity as journalists that day, using a series of false speculations and reports to build momentum for the Champions League final, and at the same time, they also wanted to better attract the attention of fans and sell more newspapers.

"Haha, these media really dare to write anything up. Yesterday, she said Shevchenko might be out of the final due to injury. Today, she claimed that Caboni had a sprained ankle on the training ground for one month." Heinx threw a pile of newspapers he had just sent on his desk, and said to Mourinho with some amusement, "It is obvious that Valencia, like us, is prohibited from entering the venue during training. I really don't know how they got this news. Could it be that they were all making up?"

"So I said, Joseph, you don't have to care about these meaningless things." Mourinho advised, "Now our top priority is to let the players adapt to the final venue as soon as possible and develop tactics against Valencia, so that they will not be able to talk to the media."

"Haha, that's right, there's really no time." Heinx said, taking out the tactical board, "Then let's take this opportunity to discuss tactics for a while..."

In this way, the two-day pre-match preparations soon passed, and the time finally came to 6 pm on the 28th. Florence players took a bus to the Stadium in France to welcome Florence's last official match of the season, the 1999-00 European Champions League final!

Let’s first introduce the starting lineups of the two teams. In Valencia, the goalkeeper is Canisales who transferred from Real Madrid last season. Since the Spanish national team returned home in the group stage in the French World Cup, this goalkeeper, who is in his year-old, has become the first choice of the Bullfighters. On the defense line, Valencia is a scene of a veteran conquering the world. Frenchman Angeloma is on the right, Italian Caboni is on the left, Yugoslav international Miroslav Jukic, who is about the same age as their starting center back, and his partner is Morisio Pellegrino, the Argentine guard (29 years old) is also the only defender under the age of 30 in Valencia's starting lineup.

It can be said that if Pellegrino had not lowered the average age of Valencia's defense line, and the Spanish media has always not paid attention to building momentum for local clubs other than Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​then the Bats would most likely have created a five-time defender who is no less than Arsenal.

On the forward line, although the offensive line composed of Argentine Claudio Lopez and offensive versatile Miguel Angulo is insufficient in attacking ability, their excellent attacking ability and speed are an important guarantee for Valencia to make a high-quality counterattack. The most important thing is that these two can also help on the defensive end that Cooper attaches most. This is the main reason why the Argentine coach will choose them and resolutely place the chief shooter of the Ranieri era and Romanian "Cobra" Adrian Ilier on the bench.

As for the midfield, it is the most well-known and powerful part of the Valencia team. The four players, Farinos, Gerard, Kili Gonzalez and Mendeta, are both offensive and defensive, and are skilled in cooperation. Each person's skills and physical fitness are excellent, and they are also extremely capable of running. When they start together, they not only magically complement each other in their personal characteristics, but also enable the Bat Legion to gain the upper hand in the game with equal numbers of midfielders, and can launch a quick counterattack more calmly, and then win the game!

Farinos, Gerard, Kili Gonzalez, Mendieta... When this golden midfielder who was once famous in European football appeared in front of Zhuang Mingge, it immediately caused a lot of emotion from the latter. After all, for all the fans of European football who had been in contact with that period around the new century, Valencia had an extraordinary status in their hearts.

It was natural that the power of Valencia, which was known as the Galaxy battleship, was able to compete with Real Madrid, known as the Galactic Warship, and Barcelona, ​​a traditional Catalan giant, for several years. It was not until Soler took office that the power of Valencia was in front of him.

It was not until Orti stepped down and Soler was successfully elected as the new chairman that Valencia began to decline from prosperity, but even so, the Bat Legion did not completely lose its strength to compete with the La Liga two heroes after 2006. This shows how strong Valencia's background was at that time!
