Chapter 123 I Hate You

The home ground of Glasgow Rangers is the Ibrox Stadium, which is a five-star football stadium.

The hot football market in the UK is not only because the Premier League is often full, but also the Soviet Super League.

For the game at [-] o'clock in the evening, there are dense crowds of people outside the stadium at [-] o'clock.

Almost all Rangers fans wearing blue jerseys, only a few Fiorentina fans wearing purple jerseys.

European football culture has been implanted into the lives of Europeans, and many people regard away games as a vacation.

Traveling in Glasgow during the day and watching football games at night, generally the fans of both the host and the guest will live in peace, except for very special games such as the Double Red Club.

There is also football hooliganism, which usually happens after the game, because many stadiums allow fans to drink while watching the game, another reason for football hooliganism is because the game is lost or unfair...

Xia Qi and others took the bus provided by the hotel and arrived outside the stadium at [-] o'clock. At the entrance, Xia Qi saw a fan holding up a sign that read in Italian: Viola blooms in San Siro.

This fan is definitely a fan of Florence. The 2000-2001 UEFA Champions League final was played at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy.

Everyone in Fiorentina wants to win the Champions League, but no one dares to shout it yet. Xia Qi knows that he must complete the task, and the Champions League is a must, but now is not the time to shout slogans.

Xia Qi saw that the male fan was wearing the No. 9 Fiorentina home jersey, and the female companion beside him was the No. 99 jersey.

With a thought in his heart, he asked the team leader for two white jerseys for tonight's away game. Of course, the jersey numbers are No. 9 and No. 99 respectively.

"Gabriel, Roberto will sign it for you."

Batistuta and Baggio showed "black question mark" expressions.

Xia Qi pointed out the car window: "There is a fan who helped us set our goals for this season, and I want to reward him."

All the people in the car looked in the direction Xia Qi pointed,

The ranks of Italian football in Europe are usually supported by AC Milan and Juventus. In the Champions League, Fiorentina is just a rookie.

The rookie wanted to win the championship in the first season. This little boss is so wild. Many people couldn't help but secretly took a breath of air, thinking that the little boss was too unrealistic.

Only Batistuta did not. Baggio was much worse than Batistuta in terms of desire to win. This is also one of the reasons why Baggio completely lay down after the two retired and had no contact with football, and Batistuta was still the director of football at his old club.

Batistuta quickly asked the team leader for a marker, signed his name in a swish, and kept urging Baggio to hurry up. After getting the jersey, the golden lion king couldn't wait to get out of the car.

Xia Qi winked at the logistics staff, and several burly men escorted Batistuta out of the car.

Batistuta was the first to get out of the car, and the Fiorentina fans at the entrance cheered enthusiastically: "Barty! Batty!"

Batistuta waved to them and made his way to the fan as bodyguards cleared the way.

Baggio stared sideways at the fans outside the car window. When he saw Batistuta handing over his signed jersey to the female fan, Baggio couldn't help but clutch the back of the front seat.

The female fan first screamed, then cried with joy, and shouted loudly towards the bus: "Italy needs you!"

Baggio's hand that was grabbing the handle showed forceful veins.

The European Cup in 2000 did a lot of harm to the fans and Baggio. Like the female fan just now, many fans thought that if Baggio had Italy in the final, the ending would be different...

Xia Qi discovered that Baggio and Batistuta are two different types of people, one is extroverted and domineering, the other is introverted, delicate and sensitive, but they are also good friends, the kind of friends who can sacrifice themselves for each other.

Baggio has stated to the coach many times since the party that night that he can be the man behind Batistuta. Think about Guardiola's Bayern, how can Muller have Lewandowski and Robben shine.

And Batistuta is willing to change his style and give up the ball for Baggio.

If you compare Piero and Inzaghi again, you will know that men's professional friendship is really touching. In the hearts of most men, women and careers cannot be let go.

Batistuta got back on the bus and drove into the football stadium, which was bigger than the Frankie Stadium, and the team got off directly by the locker room.

"Roberto, that Shanna wishes you the best of luck tonight."

Baggio didn't make a sound, he grabbed Batistuta's palm with one hand, looked directly into Batistuta's eyes, and nodded vigorously!
Understand in seconds!

Men's friendship is sometimes so pure!

Batistuta understands what Baggio means, he not only wants to score tonight, but also fight for the championship with him!

Batistuta put his arms around Baggio's neck and said: "Together!"

In the locker room before the game, the preparations for Fiorentina's starting players have been completed.

Ranieri in a suit and leather shoes looked at them seriously: "There are three rounds left in the Champions League group stage, and we have three chances, but I still hope to advance tonight, so that we can play in the league with peace of mind. Goals don't come from shouting."

Speaking of this, Ranieri looked at the players one by one...Batistuta, Baggio...finally said: "The goal needs to be achieved step by step. Before the San Siro Stadium, we must first become the top 16."

Ranieri is not as strict as Ferguson, and he is not as good as Mourinho. His voice is very soft and his tone is very slow.

However, every word of heavy hit has turned into motivation and fighting spirit in the hearts of the players!

Men stand at [-], but players at [-] are at the end of their careers, except for the two perverts like Melo.

Batistuta raised his head and led the team to push open the door of the locker room. He asked the fan at the entrance of the stadium to meet again at San Siro. Tonight is the first step towards Milan.

Batistuta's every step forward not only brings strength to himself, but also courage to his teammates!
Score three points tonight, advance to the first division, the top eight tomorrow night, the top four the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...

Xia Qi stepped onto the lawn, and the light screen lit up:

Long-term mission: the Medal of Beautiful Ball (Diamond), already worn.

Side mission: win the game and advance to the round of 16

Complete the task: reward 300 gold coins, 200 blue coins, and 150 green coins.

Rewards: One simulation card and two training cards.Free attribute points award two points.

Failure: deduct two points from any physical attribute, one point from the technical attribute, and one point from the mental attribute

"Viewers welcome everyone to watch the 2000-2001 UEFA Champions League Group D match. The Glasgow Rangers played against Fiorentina at home. In the previous game, Fiorentina had three wins and nine points, while the home team only scored three points. This game must be won to keep the hope of qualifying."

"Facing the head coach of a strong team, Mr. McLeish formed a 442 formation:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Klose;

Defenders: No. 2 Rixon, No. 4 Emerson, No. 15 Kizanshvili, No. 16 Vanoli;

Midfielder: No. 8 Nellinger, No. 10 Morse, No. 18 Barr, No. 23 Arteta

Forwards: No. 7 Averazil, No. 25 Borg

The head coach Ranieri of the visiting team Fiorentina also gave a 442 formation:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Toldo
Defenders: No. 4 Adani, No. 3 Torricelli, No. 26 Lucio, No. 28 Maicon

Midfielder: No. 12 Shaqi, No. 19 Pirlo, No. 99 Baggio, No. 10 Rui Costa
Forwards: No. 9 Batistuta, No. 18 Nuno Gomez
.........

Defender Repka did not start because Ranieri considered him old and let him take turns, leaving him in Fiorentina.

The communication on the Party gave Ranieri some sparks. He made fine adjustments to the formation. The striker gave up the trident that he had been using before, and changed to a one fast one high style of play.

Midfielder Shaqi and Pirlo play double midfielders, with Baggio and Rui Costa as front midfielders.

The whole team said it was playing 442, but it was actually 42112.Ranieri gave Baggio more space.

This is a new attempt. If it weren't for the nine-point advantage in the European War, Ranieri would never dare to try it, although this formation performed very well in the team competition.

beep!
The game has started,

The Rangers took advantage of the home game in the opening game and took the lead in attacking a wave.

Left midfielder Nellinger receives a pass from defender Ricksen on the left.

Nellinger quickly advanced from the wing. Although Baggio and Rui Costa were famous, they were really bad at defending. They were easily surpassed by him, and then quickly crossed the front of the penalty area.

Pirlo stretched out his leg to break it but couldn't reach it.The football rolls past him to the right.

Watching the opponent's No. 10 midfielder Morse advance from the right, he will be able to take advantage of the trend to pass the ball, or suddenly or pass.

At this time, Xia Qi rushed over!
Xiaqi got in position in time, lowered his center of gravity to smash the ball and pulled the ball to protect his feet, blocked Morse's path with his back, and blocked him behind him.

The two inevitably collide!
Xia Qi felt a burst of heat on his back, which is why Morse slowed down!No wonder the back waist is usually described as the waist of a beast. It's really not good if you don't have a strong physique.

Morse slowed down because he was afraid of being called a foul, and secondly, he wanted to go around and steal.

Shaggy's ball protection can't be like Henry's, but it has reached the Serie A level. He didn't fight Morse hard. If he wants to go around the front, I won't let you go around the front.

But the highest goodness is like water and everything is indisputable. If you want to go around, then I will follow the public opinion and let's go around together.

Protecting the football from facing away from the Rangers' gate to facing the Rangers' gate, Morse was still blocked behind him.

Now that Shaqi turned around, of course he rushed forward quickly, and after wading for seven or eight meters, he distributed the football to Rui Costa on the side.

Ranieri couldn't help but patted his assistant Auditore on the shoulder when he saw Xia Qi's smooth positioning, physical confrontation, and the most beautiful thing was that he turned around and looked pleasing to the eye.

"During this time, you have worked hard!"

Auditore nodded with a sense of accomplishment, and thought to himself: "Xiao Gaoli is a piece of jade, although he is 21 years old, but he can still polish it. After returning home, he will find a physical trainer to assist him, and then increase his training volume."

Shaqi came from time travel without any experience in managing clubs, so he bought players not based on need but fame.

The head coach Claudio Ranieri is also a good old man. He cooks the dishes and does not make any noise or intervene in the transfer work.

As a result, this lineup lacked a defensive midfielder. Shaqi, who used the Beidou pass ability card, was considered by the coaching staff to be the best midfielder in the team.

Xia Qi, who has no ability card, can only do some defensive work to escort Pirlo.

Shaqi did a pretty good job of doing these dirty jobs. Just like this, Shaqi did not replace Pirlo's position, nor could he return to the forward position. Ranieri arranged for Auditore to train his defensive ability to be used by Davis and Gattuso.

Tonight saw the good results of the special training, so Ranieri decided to apply for a bonus for Auditore's salary increase.

In fact, the reason why Xia Qi can increase his strength so quickly is that the football skills he brought through time travel have not been lost, and these skills are at the level of Serie A.

The second is that he used the training card to train in the system and spent green coins to invite famous beast waists such as Vieira and Essien as mentors.

You said, can he not be quick to raise the ball?

Ranieri saw Shaqi's serious and devoted expression, constantly observing the surrounding situation, and changing his position back and forth according to the situation on the field, and these positions were all reasonable, so he couldn't help but praise Auditore a few words.

The Rangers' fast break came again. This time they went straight to the middle of Fiorentina. Rui Costa and Pirlo had Rui Costa and Pirlo in front of Shaqi.

Nellinger made a comeback, a little to the left of the center, and the two sides played two against two, seemingly equal in strength.

Nellinger passed the ball to the left front in front of Rui Costa, where Morse responded.

Morse met Pirlo's spike and changed direction, and Pirlo immediately moved to defend.

Morse easily blocked the most expensive "midfield metronome" in the future on the right side of his body, and he could get rid of it completely if he accelerated again.

If you want to bully a tiger, of course you bully it when it is a cub.

But Mother Tiger disagreed.

As he was about to pick up speed, Shaggy stepped between him and the ball with a leg.

The intrusion seemed to have been measured with a caliper, without touching Morse's foot or the football.

Don't be naive and think that Vieira, Essien, Makelele and others have only brute force but no technology.

Morse must not be reconciled to having the football cut off like this. He wanted to take advantage of Xia Qi's unsteady footing and unbalanced body to fight back!

Xia Qi's teacher is not Auditore, but these fierce people in the system, stuck and pulled the ball?Too low.

Offense is the best defense.

As soon as the long legs landed on the ground, the body leaned forward, and when it was about to hit Morse, the shoulders exerted force.

Morse thought that Shaggy would pull the ball when his foot hit the ground, putting distance between the two of them and getting the ball out of his area of ​​control.Isn't this the normal operation of blocking the ball?

As a result, Xia Qi bumped into him when he disagreed with him, as if he couldn't stop his body when he was rushing forward, but Morse saw Xia Qi's shoulder exerted strength, and knew that he was too kind and naive. Who doesn't have a little black hand?

His strength was on the kicking leg, and the supporting leg didn't have any strength, so how could he hold it up this time?

lost balance,
fell.

The visual impression is that Xia Qi lost his body balance and could knock him over. Not to mention the Fiorentina fans gloating and laughing, even the fans of this team also have a few [-]-year-olds who can't help mocking.

the ball stays,
people also stay,

Really embarrassing!

Morse doesn't blame the fans, he just hates Shaggy.

Ranieri was dumbfounded and asked Auditore: "You taught me?"

The two of them definitely couldn't see the movement of Xia Qi's shoulders exerting force, but they couldn't stop the car and they could make the opponent who was accumulating strength and preparing to fight back fall down.

Based on years of experience, both of them knew that Xia Qi must have done it on purpose. This was a reasonable collision, and it was a very sophisticated method. Without five or six years of experience, it couldn't be used.

Shaqi's resume has only played as a striker,

But can a striker and a midfielder be the same thing?
The two looked at each other, did they find the treasure?
