On the evening of September 9, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

The stands of Frankie Stadium were overcrowded. Suddenly, fans lit fireworks in the east stand. The stadium security personnel immediately went to control the fire. A puff of smoke blew onto the stadium with the breeze, as if a thick fog had filled the air.

Players from Liverpool and Fiorentina stood at the exit of the player tunnel. After the players saw the smoke blowing on the field, Torres stood beside Qin Xiong and asked, "Will this visibility affect the game?"

Qin Xiong shrugged and did not answer.

Many players in the Fiorentina lineup heard Torres' words, and they smiled, not contemptuously, but with a touch of sarcasm.

The teenager Jovetic said to Torres: "It's okay, the smoke will dissipate soon, we are used to it."

At this time, Torres understood what the smiles of many Fiorentina players meant.

Probably mocking him for not seeing the world!

Fireworks are set off in the stands, which is commonplace in Italian stadiums. Sometimes Italian fans want to create riots, which is beyond the reach of fans from other countries. Anyway, this is also the hometown of the Mafia.

Torres nodded towards Jovetic with a serious expression, then clenched his fists secretly.

The episode in the stands ended quickly.

Players from the two teams walked into the stadium with their heads held high, and the magnificent theme song of the Champions League began to echo in the stadium.

"The much-anticipated UEFA Champions League has started again. The second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the new season is coming as scheduled. Today at the Frankie Stadium, Fiorentina, who sits at home, ushered in the challenge of the Premier League giants Liverpool.

In the first game of the group stage, Liverpool slaughtered Di Bissini 8:0, and Fiorentina lost 0:1 at the feet of Lyon. Although this is only the second game of the group stage, the absence is very important for Fiorentina.

Of course they hope to win at home to tie Liverpool.But Liverpool must also hope to give Fiorentina a two-game losing streak to stabilize their lead.

Let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides.

Florence starts 4231.

Goalkeeper: Frey.

Defenders: Boratti, Natalie, Krodrup, Gobi.

Midfielders: Marchionne, Montolivo, Jovetic, Silvestri.Vargas.

Forward: Gilardino.

Liverpool starting 4231.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Aurelio.

Midfield: Dirk, Alonso, Gerrard.Mascherano, Qin Xiong.

Forward: Torres.

The pre-match kick-off ceremony has been completed, and Fiorentina, who is at home, will take the lead in kicking off. Let us enjoy this battle to the fullest. "

The game began amidst the deafening din of the Frankie Stadium, and Fiorentina appeared cautious at the beginning, not daring to invest too much force in the attack.

After Jovetic was successfully blocked once by Mascherano and Alonso in the attack, he seemed to be a little scared, and only dared to interact with his teammates.And dare not rashly make a dribbling breakthrough.

Liverpool continued to use Qin Xiong as an offensive acceleration point to launch an offensive.

In the 5th minute of the game, Qin Xiong suddenly turned to the center after receiving a direct pass from Aurelio on the left side of the front court.

His cross-cutting dribbling habit is no secret, and because Jovetic's return to defense is slow, only two midfielders in Florence are present in front of Qin Xiong's defense.

Montolivo is an organizational midfielder.Silvestri was born as a full-back and played as a midfielder today to strengthen his defense.

The two obviously lacked a tacit understanding, and they rushed towards Qin Xiong together!

Seeing this, Qin Xiong thought to himself: Too young!

Montolivo and Silvestri charged forward seemingly fiercely.

Qin Xiong fearlessly dribbled in horizontally. When the three were about to meet, Qin Xiong suddenly kicked the ball into the gap between the two.

Then change direction and rush across the left side of Montolivo's body. After the two passed by, Montolivo suddenly stopped and looked back.In the large area on the right side of the penalty area, not only the football rolled over, but also Qin Xiong flew over to regain control of the football.

Perhaps facing most Italian teams, such a defense is not a big problem.But facing a "rampage" Qin Xiong who not only has superb ball handling skills but also has an absolute advantage in explosive acceleration, such a defense is simply weak!

At the same time that Qin Xiong rushed to the right side of the penalty area.He already had a chance to shoot, but he didn't choose to shoot, because the defenders of Fiorentina were moving to the right, so Qin Xiong decisively sent a pass from the reverse line, and the ball went straight to the left side of the penalty area !

Torres happened to run in the opposite direction to central defender Natalie, which allowed him to form a single goal in the penalty area diagonally to the goal when he received Qin Xiong's through ball!

The burly goalkeeper Frey abandoned the goal, and Torres chose to rub the shot to the inside of the far post at that moment!

Seeing that Frey was unable to recover from the shot football, but due to the footwork control problem of rubbing the shot, the football did not produce enough internal rotation, and finally the football slid out of the goal!

"OMG! Torres almost scored, Qin Xiong's breakthrough and through ball were just right, Gerrard's forward drive formed a cover for Torres, Qin Xiong's through ball was too concealed! It's a pity that Liverpool didn't seize the opportunity."

After missing an opportunity, Torres turned around and gave Qin Xiong a thumbs up.

In any case, he wanted to praise Qin Xiong's pass, it was perfect, but he couldn't grasp it.

Qin Xiong smiled at Torres in the process of retreating, and gestured with his index finger, meaning: 1 time!

During training, Qin Xiong joked to Torres: If you squander three shots in a row, sorry, then I will come by myself!

Torres smiled when he saw Qin Xiong's outstretched fingers, and then his expression became more serious.

He didn't take Qin Xiong's words as a joke. As a world-class striker, it would be a shame if he missed opportunities one after another, instead of waiting for his teammates to take his place and deprive him of the right to fire.

Fiorentina also launched an offensive immediately after entering the rhythm. In the 8th minute of the game, the teenager Jovetic kicked an incredible long shot from 35 yards from the goal.

The football draws an up and down parabola with almost no rotation, and the landing point of the trajectory is the right side of the Liverpool goal.

Fortunately, the distance is far enough, and the trajectory of the football is not particularly erratic. Reina, who is concentrated, rushes out and hugs the ball!

"Fiorentina's Jovetic is very active today. His long-range shots are of high quality. If the angle is more tricky, I am afraid that Reina will be caught off guard. It is hard to say whether he can keep the city goal, but he will definitely create it. Big trouble, it's impossible to hold the ball in your arms!" (to be continued~^~)
