"President Johansson, thank you for your appreciation." Zhuang Ge naturally couldn’t show that he was very close to Johansson when an outsider was present, so he replied politely, "I also hope that the players can win this game and the club will bring back the second Champions League trophy."

"Hey Antonio, are you underestimating our German team?"
"Ha ha how can …"
Until we go to the VIP box, Zhuang Ge and other talents go to different directions to book their own boxes. Johansson, the president of UEFA, has an exclusive box, while beckenbauer, who has long been in good contact with Zhuang Ge, shares a box with Zhuang Ge … Who cares about President Dortmund?
Although nominally a German football leader, beckenbauer with Bayern background is not interested in seeing Dortmund figures in the box.
Chapter 462 Battle of Munich (2)
"Good evening, audience and friends. Welcome to watch the final of the 199697 European Champions Cup. I am the commentator. Rao is honored to sit here and watch the final of Florence and Dortmund with you tonight … I will introduce the starting lineup of one or two teams." Sitting in the VIP box, Zhuang Ge, wearing headphones, naturally chose the Italian TV station to explain.
No matter the course and result of the game, it is better to listen to one’s own explanation during the live broadcast of the game. If you choose German TV, it is estimated that the whole game will be negative to hear the evaluation of Florence. Zhuang Ge doesn’t want to find himself guilty.
Capello and Hitzfeld both seem to be planning to keep secrets before the final, for example, when the coaches of both sides indicated that Florence and Dortmund both handed in the list of ten people for the Champions League final just before the deadline.
Due to the limited depth of the bench, Hitzfeld can make some fine adjustments to the starting lineup, changing the formation from unified 442 to 352. The goalkeepers Klaus reuter and Heinrich are separated on the left and right, and bear most of Dortmund’s offense and defense on the flank.
Reuter and Heinrich are very important players in Dortmund’s tactical system. When they attack forward, they can move forward, when the winger defends, they can retreat to the back line to play full-back role.
It is their tireless running on the flank and their two-sided nature in attack and defense that gives Hitzfeld more room to deploy troops and more resources to adjust in other positions.
You Ergen Kohler and Martin Kree form the starting centre-back, which is responsible for intercepting the attacking players of Florence at the first time. Once they fail to stop Florence’s attack and cause the other side to cross the defense line, sammer, the free agent in the backcourt, will appear to intercept Kohler and Clay and miss the ball.
Paulo sousa’s position in the middle of the midfield is a little behind. He controls the rhythm of Dortmund with andreas moller, who is on the front of the court. However, the Portuguese midfielder mainly combs Dortmund’s backcourt to save his teammates from rushing forward when they get the ball. The Germans are more inclined to grasp the attack rhythm, and the top two strikers deliver artillery shells. In addition, paul lambert, the last midfielder in Dortmund, is similar to Davis and Dibiagio in Florence. The Scot ensures the defensive hardness of Dortmund midfield and shoulders the core weight of keeping an eye on the other organization.
Swiss striker Chapuysat and German Riddle form a double striker. The former’s sense of smell in front of the door and the latter’s outstanding impact are Dortmund’s goal guarantee.
Here in Florence, Capello also sacrificed the secret weapon that he has carefully built these days. In this Champions League final, Capello also changed the team. The gold medal coach actually moved Ranieri’s three-striker style when he coached Florence again!
There is no doubt that the starting goalkeeper toldo chose this position; In the back line, Capello didn’t arrange a combination of three central defenders like Hitzfeld (as a free agent in the backcourt, sammer can also be seen as a central defender), but chose Lala and Starr as partners, and Roberto Carlos and Zambrotta as the starting full-backs.
In midfield, Lei Dongduo, effenberg and Davies formed three midfielders. According to Capello’s arrangement in training, these three players need not say that Lei Dongduo and effenberg are well aware when the game is quite offensive. When defending the team, Capello asked the three men to defend and build a protective line in front of the defense line to stop Dortmund from infiltrating.
The organizer who attacked in the frontcourt was handed over by Capello from effenberg to the forward line, and the position of the German tiger was also moved back, and Lei Dongduo was even further behind Davis in the same line.
The last three players on the starting list are the alien Ronaldo, the Argentine god of war batistuta, and djorkaeff, a Frenchman who took over the offensive organization from effenberg.
Capello’s change of formation surprised many people. Is this still the Italian coach who is known for his conservatism? How dare you play this kind of game in the Champions League final? Pay more attention to attack! Not the balance of offense and defense. Four, four, two!
Did Capello take the wrong medicine? You know, even Dortmund, who has half the home court advantage, put on a formation that pays more attention to backcourt defense in the final.
However, I was not surprised to sit in the box and watch Zhuangge, because Zhuangge was specially invited by Capello to discuss the characteristics of Dortmund a few days before the final, and then the head coach "assisted the team workers" to catch it in the dark room and watch the game video for three days!
This makes Zhuang Ge depressed and want to hit the wall. But there are several delicate beauties living at home, so he has to watch the game video with an old man in the same room!
It is precisely because of this that Zhuang Ge is quite clear about Capello’s tactics in this game, although Capello’s arrangement has reduced Florence’s defensive strength a lot and given Dortmund players more attacks, thus greatly increasing the possibility of losing the ball; But on the other hand, Capello’s tactic is not to better restrain Hitzfeld’s Dortmund.
Back in the evening of 25th, Zhuang Ge and Capello hid in the office of the chairman and discussed how to deal with Dortmund as in the competition.
Zhuang Ge knows that Dortmund seems to be slack now, but in fact this team also has very obvious weaknesses, and their biggest weakness is that this team relies most on several players!
"paulo sousa and sammer are really superstar players, but their glass physique determines that they will miss many games every season, and they are seriously short of physical fitness due to long-term injuries. If Florence specially speeds up the pace of the game in the final … Fabio, what do you think will happen?"
"Yes! Why didn’t I think of that! " Capello suddenly realized, "Boss, I think it’s a pity that you don’t become a coach."
"Hehe, forget it. The coach business is too stressful for me to do it." Zhuang Ge laughed and avoided the topic. He was not interested in becoming a head coach.
Just as Zhuang Ge recalled his tragic experience of oppression in Capello these days, the referee blew his whistle!
Fiorentina and Dortmund Champions League final is official!
Chapter 463 Battle of Munich (3)
When the referee blew the whistle of the game and won the ball in the process of guessing coins before the game, Dortmund players immediately circled the ball from the court, passed through Chapuisat and andreas moller, and the ball stopped until paulo sousa’s foot, and continued to return to their fate.
Paulo sousa, who got the ball, firmly controlled the ball and pushed it forward. He planned to make a tentative attack according to the arrangement of the head coach before the game. He first looked at the defensive strength of Florence and then decided on the team’s next game strategy.
Just as Dortmund players were preparing to launch a wave of attacks, Fiorentina players attacked Dortmund in the backcourt and crossed the midfield line. Several Fiorentina players showed a strong desire to grab the frontcourt from the beginning of the game.
Batistuta rushed to rob paulo sousa for the first time, forcing the Portuguese to spend some time to get rid of the Argentine God of War.
However, the Fiorentina player who was delayed by Batty has already got a good position and blocked the Portuguese. All the forward delivery routes are waiting for paulo sousa to trap himself.
When Sosa saw that there was no chance of sneak attack on his side, he gave the ball to reuter on the left and asked him to find a breakthrough from the side. After all, reuter and Heinrich’s breakthrough on the side was also a magic weapon for Dortmund’s attack.
Just as reuter inserted along the sideline to catch paulo sousa’s ball and launched an impact on Florence’s half-court, a purple figure appeared in the ball movement path and grabbed the ball in front of reuter!
"Ronaldo! He steals the paulo sousa ball! Florence opportunity! "
Reuter, who has already stepped up his speed, defended paulo sousa due to his own inertia method. I didn’t expect Florence players to fight so actively in the frontcourt, and paul lambert was still in the middle of Sosa. Therefore, after Ronaldo broke the ball, there was no Dortmund player to defend the aliens!
So Ronaldo decisively took the ball and accelerated along the front assist of reuter, leaving a large piece of Dortmund gate to kill the past!
After Martin Kree reacted, he jumped at Ronaldo for the first time. He planned that his strength advantage would destroy Florence’s attack!
Sammer did not move, but retreated for a distance. Clay in front of the square gate formed a double insurance. Kohler first entangled batistuta before he came to attack Heinrich, and stuck to djorkaeff to prevent the French from running out to meet Ronaldo and complete the attack.
Lambert, a Scotsman, defends against a long-range shot by a German tiger coming from midfield in effenberg. If he is released, he will be scored by his opponent.
It can be said that although Dortmund players made a mistake at the first time and didn’t rush to counter-rob Ronaldo on the spot, they did a good job in the subsequent response, and Ji stared at all the players who participated in this attack in Florence.
However, Dortmund still had a loophole in this defense. He should have rushed to the front of the restricted area to defend paulo sousa, but he didn’t appear in the established position. The Portuguese was stunned by Davis, who was more than ten meters behind him, during the defense!
At this moment, Ronaldo also planned to compete with Clay, and the aliens kept shaking with the ball, which made the Dortmund central defender’s center of gravity unstable and almost fell to the ground.
Although Clay then forcibly stabilized his body, Ronaldo had rushed past him while he was adjusting his center of gravity!
Then facing sammer’s defense, the Brazilian wisely didn’t try to continue one-on-one confrontation with his opponent, because he knew that if the German lived in front of him, he wouldn’t eat it easily. Then in a few seconds, he would be caught between clay and sammer!
Therefore, the alien who had suddenly reached the right side of the restricted area glanced at the middle of the road and found that there was a player wearing a purple jersey with no Dortmund player defending, so Ronaldo decisively passed the ball!
Davis ran to the front of Dortmund’s restricted area with the attitude of focusing on participation, but he didn’t expect Ronaldo to pass the ball as soon as he ran to the position!
"Holy shit, Ronnie, are you fucking too late?" Seeing the ball rolling towards him, Davis was stunned at first, then the horse adjusted its posture and caught the ball. He observed it with his eyes for a week and found that people around him were defending themselves, but his teammates were stared at by Dortmund players.
If this opportunity doesn’t come to the door, Davis will feel lost.
Therefore, the Dutch wild boar did not hesitate to glance at Dortmund’s goal and then swung his right foot, which was a powerful volley!
"Davis Shoot! What a pity! The ball is slightly higher than the crossbar. It would be better if Davis pressed the angle a little lower when shooting. Dortmund goalkeeper Klose reacted to this shot! " Rao was obviously very excited to see Florence make such a wonderful counterattack at the beginning of the game. "From the slow-motion playback, we can see that at the moment Davis shot, he was not disturbed by Dortmund players. paulo sousa was in charge of keeping an eye on him, but walked slowly behind the Dutchman, which is why Florence was able to get such a good shot."
"It can be said that if Dortmund improves the defense from time to time and the success rate of the ball is insufficient, it is a problem for Florence to score goals."
Rao’s prediction was quite accurate. Just three minutes after Davis hit the ball from a long distance, Florence made a comeback. The attack style was exactly the same as the second time. Florence players were also robbed in the backcourt, but this time the stealer was replaced by djorkaeff. He intercepted the ball given by sammer to Heinrich and then launched a quick counterattack on the spot!
After a one-on-one match with batistuta, djorkaeff broke into the restricted area. Unfortunately, the Frenchman’s last shot was defended in time, and sammer rushed to clear the ball just before it crossed the goal line, which helped Dortmund escape once again.
"Florence has already finished two shots in less than five minutes and almost broke the opponent’s goal!" Seeing Florence fight back twice from the game, Dortmund was in a mess. Rao was quite excited. Florence shouted in front of the microphone, "Florence! Come on! "
Chapter 464 Battle of Munich (4)
From the beginning of the game, they were a little breathless by their opponents, which made Dortmund players feel quite depressed. After all, they are also the team that won the Bundesliga two times in a row!
Although the Bundesliga champion is not as valuable as Serie A at this time, it is not so embarrassing to be beaten!
"It seems that Capello really understood what I said to him," thought the Fiorentina player who almost scored twice in the frontcourt, sitting in the box and watching the ball.
Before preparing for the Champions League final, Zhuang Ge gave Capello a detailed analysis and directly pointed out that Dortmund’s biggest weakness was the poor physical fitness of Sosa and sammer.
Yes, although Dortmund paulo sousa and sammer can really play at the superstar level on the court, they are seriously short of physical fitness due to long-term injury and tiredness. If they play at a normal pace, it is estimated that they will be tired after an hour.
It wouldn’t matter if it happened in Florence, because Capello could immediately find two players with similar strength from the first team, but Dortmund is not a team with a good bench depth, and Hitzfeld can’t find two substitutes on the Dortmund bench
Therefore, Hitzfeld arranged for the team to adopt more steady and step-by-step strategies when attacking, slowed down the pace of the game as much as possible, and asked other players to increase the running range. Through these measures, the physical consumption of Sosa and sammer in the game was reduced.
I have to say that Dortmund players have successfully carried out Hitzfeld’s tactics, and they can play all the games. paulo sousa and sammer played a great role in Dortmund’s Champions League season, and led the team to reach the Champions League final for the first time at the beginning of this season.
