Chapter 215 Against Viola

On February 2th, at 17:[-] p.m. German time, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals finally kicked off at the Allianz Arena. Bayern Munich faced Fiorentina at home.

Amidst the cheers of 70000 fans in the stadium, players from both sides began to appear on the field. Bayern Munich, who played at home, wore the white neutral jersey this time, while Fiorentina wore the usual purple jersey color.

The once world's No. [-] league is gradually declining, and the former seven Serie A sisters have long since ceased to exist. Now the top three in the north of Serie A dominate. Even after the "telephone gate", Juventus can immediately re-emerge. However, it is difficult for teams outside the top three to rise.

Fiorentina was one of the former Seven Sisters. They are currently doing well in Serie A. They are a strong team in the second tier. Although they miss the league championship, they can strive to participate in the Intercontinental League.

After the players of both sides stood still, the referee Tom Henning Overley began to blow the whistle for the game.

Bayern Munich lineup: 442
Goalkeeper: Bout

Defenders: Badstuber, Demichelis, Van Buyten, Lahm

Midfielders: Ribery, Li Feng, Schweinsteiger, Robben

Forwards: Muller, Gomez

Bayern Munich's lineup has not changed at all. Of course, this is also Bayern Munich's current strongest lineup. On the bench, Klose, Olić, Van Bommel, Timoschuk, Altintop, Contento, Lensing.

Fiorentina lineup: 4321
Goalkeeper: Frey

Defenders: Goby, Kroldrup, Natalie, Silvestri

Midfielders: Boratti, Montolivo, Vargas,

Attacking midfielder: Jovetic, Marchionne

Forward: Gilardino

Fiorentina used a Christmas tree formation, with Gilardino as a single striker, Jovetic and Marchionne as double attacking midfielders, but both of them can play from the side and the center, and the situation on the field of view can change at will, especially Jovetic, he can play almost any position in the frontcourt, including the striker.

As soon as the game started, Bayern Munich, who were playing at home, gave Fiorentina a bad start. Li Feng made a long pass from the backcourt to the right.

However, no matter how fast Robben is, it is useless. In the penalty area of ​​Florence, Robben can only choose to pass back. Gomez hits the first shot of the game from the line of the penalty area. The ball hits Kroldrup and lands in the penalty area.

The ball flew out of Fiorentina's penalty area and landed at the feet of Montolivo, who was back on defense. At this time, due to offensive reasons, Bayern Munich's defense was a little bit forward. Montolivo also sent a long pass and found Gilardino.

So Gilardino headed back directly, Marchionne quickly forced in, Demichelis chased back desperately, and finally caught up outside the penalty area. In desperation, Marchionne could only end this round of attack with a long shot, and the ball flew directly out of the baseline.

It has to be said that the offensive speed of the two teams this round was too fast, and the fans who were approaching the scene did not react, because the two teams each only took 1 minute to complete the goal. When Fiorentina missed the goal, the game time had not yet passed the third minute.

Each shot a goal, and no one suffered a loss, but then the game began to enter the right track, and Bayern Munich began to take the initiative in the home game. However, because Fiorentina planted a heavy army in the midfield, although Bayern Munich has always controlled the ball, they have not really scored in the hinterland of Fiorentina, and the two sides have been competing in the midfield.

This anxious situation lasted until No. 13 minutes. Bayern Munich finished the second shot of the game. Li Feng suddenly broke out with the ball, but he did not break through.

Li Feng's behavior made Montolivo stunned. Looking at his aggressive appearance, Montolivo was ready to meet Li Feng's impact, but the result was far beyond his expectation. He just shot a feint, but after Li Feng passed him, Montolivo immediately reacted and shouted to tell Boratti to be careful.

As a teammate who has cooperated for more than half a season, Schweinsteiger will naturally not disappoint Li Feng. After he got the ball, he had no intention of holding the ball forward at all, and without the slightest hesitation, he made a long pass over the top and sent the ball into the hinterland of Florence.

But when Li Feng unloaded the ball, Boratti, the Argentine midfielder who had just transferred to Fiorentina during the winter break, stood in front of Li Feng. Li Feng kept changing the rhythm of his feet and leaned to the left.

The ball passed Boratti and came to the feet of Muller who pulled out of the penalty area to meet him, but Muller was surrounded by Fiorentina defenders, so Muller got the ball and stuffed it directly into the Fiorentina penalty area, and the ball came to Gomez.

Facing Kroldrup's defense, Gomez used his fairly good skills to get rid of it on the spot, and then hit the goal from a small angle in the left penalty area. Although Frey tried his best to save, he still failed to touch the ball. Just when everyone thought Bayern was going to open the scoring first, the ball hit the goalpost mischievously and bounced out of the baseline.

The moment the ball flew out, Bayern Munich asked the fans to sigh uncontrollably, the disappointment was palpable, while the Fiorentina fans were very happy.

Afterwards, Fiorentina immediately counterattacked Bayern Munich, and it was Montolivo's direct pass that found Marchionne. The latter held the ball and cooperated with Jovetic. The double attacking midfielder scored in Bayern Munich's backcourt in one fell swoop. Facing Schweinsteiger who returned to the defense, Marchioni finally went straight into the penalty area. Unfortunately, Gilardino slipped when he started and missed this opportunity.

However, Fiorentina's offensive was not over. Then Bout passed the ball to Demichelis, and Gilardino countered on the spot. Demichelis, who came to the Champions League, made another foul. He didn't pass the ball immediately, but wanted to break through Gilardino himself.

The final result is self-evident, Demichelis lost the ball, but when the ball was snatched by Gilardino, Demichelis was very vigilant and chose to foul. Fortunately, the referee of this game was a brain-twitching master. He did not give the card to Demichelis, but gave Florence a direct free kick.
