It was past five o'clock in the morning when Chen Yu came back from the Four Seasons Hotel. He thought that the players and coaches in Fiorentina must be still in their dreams at this time. Unexpectedly, he met Plandelli as soon as he entered the hotel. Chen Yu shouted awkwardly, "Coach, early, I..."

Plandelli seemed to have seen everything. He waved his hand and interrupted Chen Yu's words, "Don't explain, hurry up and go back and rest."

Chen Yu smiled bitterly. He knew that Plandley was worried that the team members would have a bad impact, so he stopped talking and quietly walked back to his room to rest.

Chen Yu left last night and never showed up. Many people speculated that Chen Yu went out, but the head coach pretended not to know. Except for talking to his friends privately as gossip, the other players just thought that Chen Yu had been staying in the hotel and had never left.

Benfica fans failed to provoke twice in a row, and more than a dozen people were arrested by the police, which caused a considerable deterrence to extreme fans in Portugal. During the training in Fiorentina in the morning, there were no Benfica fans, only Fiorentina fans came to watch.

Florence players have played high-level training in such an environment. In order to repay the fans, many people have played a lot of fun things that they don’t know how to use on the field.

Benfica's home court, the Light Stadium, can accommodate 63,000 people, but only 7,000 tickets were given in Fiorentina. There were at least 15,000 fans of Fiorentina who came to Lisbon to watch the game. Even if some fans can buy high-priced tickets from scalpers, the number of people will not exceed 10,000. However, even if there is no way to watch the game at the Light Stadium in person, seeing the wonderful training matches of the players made many fans feel that the trip is worth it.

One training game in the morning is one hour, one training game in the afternoon is one hour, and two training games are not far from the start of the game.

Playing the Champions League quarter-finals is a shocking event against Fiorentina and Benfica. For such a game, Benfica has been waiting for 10 years and Fiorentina has been waiting for forty years. Now that the dream is fulfilled, the fans are extremely excited. Three hours before the game, the fans have already appeared one after another. By the hour before the game, the stadium is full.

The battle of words before this game was fierce, and after experiencing conflicts between the airport and the training ground, the fans of both sides were also in a state of turmoil. It was still early before the players appeared, but the fans were not idle at all. Both sides kept scolding each other, throwing debris at each other, and even almost started to fight several times.

UEFA's punishment for fans' trouble and fights is very severe. In addition to the huge fine, it is possible to prohibit home games. This is a huge loss for small clubs like Benfica. Benfica and the local government of Lisbon are well prepared. Not only has a large number of security guards been dispatched, but also 500 riot police officers. These fully armed security guards separated the fans from the troublemakers and controlled the situation to the extent of verbal war.

At 7:20, 25 minutes before the game, the players came out of the locker room. The fans who were yelling at the swearing game found the real owner this time. They immediately pointed the finger at the players. Benfica's fans booed Chen Yu in unison, calling Chen Yu a yellow-skinned monkey who didn't know the heights and the earth, and a arrogant idiot. Florence fans scolded Benfica's players and wanted to sieve Benfica's net.

In such an almost crazy and terrifying atmosphere, the players of Fiorentina and Benfica were not greatly affected. They practiced steadily for seven or eight minutes before leaving the stadium and returning to the locker room.

At this moment, the commentators on the scene have obtained the starting rosters of both sides and began to introduce the starting lineups of both sides and the tactical intentions revealed to the fans.

"Benfica plays a 433 formation, the goalkeeper is Moreto from the winter transfer, defenders: Ricardo Rocha, Luiso, Anderson and Leo; midfielders: Beto, Petit, Fernandez; three forwards: Simon, Giovani, Robert.

This is a very excellent defensive counterattack formation. The three forwards of Benfica are very fast. The combination of Robert and Siman is very threatening, and the midfield and backcourt are also very good at defensive counterattacks. The midfielder Fernandez is not only Benfica's hope, but also the Portuguese national team. The three back midfielders composed of Beto, Fernandez and Petit are very strong. In addition, set pieces are also Benfica's specialty. Former Barcelona player Siman has a unique skill in free kicks, two center backs Luiso and Anderson's

The header scoring ability is strong, and the opponent's air defense ability is a little weaker, so they can become a nightmare for the opponent's opponent's penalty area. However, Benfica's weakness is also outstanding. Goalkeeper Moreto joined the team only during the break, and there are shortcomings in defending high balls. The two central defenders are slow in running speed and turning speed. Facing both speed and skills, Etoo and Ronaldo, the team's defense will inevitably have loopholes. Nuno Gomez, who has 15 goals in the Portuguese Super League, cannot play due to the suspension, which will greatly affect Benfica's attack power...

"... Let's take a look at Fiorentina's starting lineup, goalkeeper Toldo, four defenders, Pasquiel, Dainelli, Uyfalusi, Marjo; midfielders Brokey, Donadal, Jorgensen, Feore, forward Chen Yu, and Tony.

This is a 44-shaped formation. Although it doesn't seem to have as many forwards as Benfica, Fiorentina has only two midfielders in the midfield. In the full-back position, Marco and Pasquire are both players with strong offense and weak defense, which also means that Fiorentina's goal in this game is offense.

...Now everyone on earth knows that Chen Yu is going to score three goals at the Guangming Stadium. Obviously, Chen Yu is not just talking. He will definitely fight hard for his words. Whether it is for the team's performance or to help Chen Yu, he will strengthen his offense. They are in the away game. Once they can score a goal, it will be much easier to play at home..."

In the visiting team locker room

Plandelli was doing the final agitation to the players with a serious look.

"The game is about to begin. I have finished what should be said and what should not be said. Everyone understands the importance of this game to us. It may change the history of our club and the destiny of each of us. I hope you can do your best to win a away game, and at least get a draw with a goal. In this way, we can take the initiative in the game. As for Chen and Vieira's hat trick, don't think too much, don't just think about creating opportunities for Chen. Whoever can score the goal will score... Victory is our ultimate goal. I hope everyone can play a 120,000-point spirit and strive to get a good result."

Speaking of this, Plandley couldn't help but look at Chen Yu. Chen Yu understood what Plandley meant. He was doubting that he had not returned all night and had the energy to deal with this difficult game. Chen Yu did not avoid Plandley's inquiry gaze, but went over confidently. Seeing Chen Yu's confident eyes, Plandley felt relieved. He nodded, feeling much more relieved.

Home team locker room

Koeman looked murderous, "We must ensure that we do not lose the ball at home, and even the result of 00 is satisfactory. The result of 10 is quite good. We eliminated Liverpool in this way. If we score another goal away, they must score three. This is my plan... Fiorentina is not better than us in terms of strength, but they have two good strikers, Chen and Tony. If you want to win Fiorentina, you must stare at them to death. Beto, Petit, Fernandez, you three, no matter what method you use, you must kill them outside the penalty area. It is best not to give them a chance to shoot Chen wants to score three goals at the Guangming Stadium. I believe he is planning to anger us and let us focus all our energy on him. We must not be fooled. Compared with the huge benefits of advancing to the semi-finals, what does it mean to break our promise?

The game time is coming soon. Referee Bennett blew the assembly whistle in the mixing passage. Players from both sides walked out of the locker room, held the hand of the caddie, and walked towards the stadium under the leadership of referee Bennett and two linesman.

The players from Fiorentina and Benfica were on the court again, and they were still greeted by tsunamis and swearing, but such an important game was about to begin. They were both nervous and excited, and no one had the heart to consider the fans' booing.

This is a Champions League event. Before the game begins, the national anthem of the team's country is played, then the players on both sides shake hands, the captains exchange team flags and emblems to pick the sides, and finally take a group photo.

After doing all this step by step, Chen Yu turned his gaze to the stands. He first glanced at the stands of the Chinese fans. Under the huge banner of "Straighting the Light Stadium and performing a hat trick", Chen Yu saw Zhang Shubin, Xu Fei, Zhao Muyu and others. Chen Yu's eyes continued to sweep down, wanting to see where Kaira Knightley was. Unfortunately, the Light Stadium can accommodate more than 60,000 people. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. How could Chen Yu see it?

Chen Yu couldn't find Kaira Knightley, but Knightley could see Chen Yu's every move. She was wearing a white hooded windbreaker and sunglasses, sitting between the fans' stands in Benfica. The position was very good. Seeing Chen Yu looking for her, Knightley felt a little sweet, and thought to herself, this slutty man finally had a little goodness.

Just two minutes after the photo, referee Bennett blew the whistle to the start of the game.

The first kick-off was Fiorentina of the visiting team. The ball fell at Chen Yu and Tony's feet, and returned to the midfield core Feorre, and then continued to pass.

The Fiorentine players originally wanted to control the rhythm of the game and observe the opponent's situation, but Benfica did not give the Fiorentine players a chance to control the ball slowly.

Benfica played at his home court, facing a dark horse team like Fiorentina. Their desire to win was not worse than that of the Fiorentines. After the start, their three lines were on the front, and all players except the defenders and goalkeepers began to fight against Fiorentine players in a comprehensive manner.

Fiorentina's down ball in the backcourt had just passed to full-back Macho, and Benfica's players chased after him. Macho hesitated for a moment and did not dare to drive the ball out of the opponent's encirclement. He still steadily passed the ball back to his goalkeeper Toldo.

Benfica's pressing did not give up because Fiorentina passed the goalkeeper back. Forward Giovani rushed towards Tordo quickly, trying to force Tordo's big foot to get out. However, Tordo has a lot of experience. When Marjo passed by, he was not ready to stop. He just drove out with a big foot. The ball flew directly to Benfica's goalkeeper Moreto. Moreto took several steps back and took off his hands after he arrived at the penalty area.

Moreto, known as the nerve knife, did not drive the ball out with his big feet, but waited a little while. Seeing his defenders retreating to respond, he threw the ball to the full-back Leo and asked him to attack from the wing.

Today, Fiorentina has no confidence in winning or confidence, but their desire to score goals is very strong. When playing away games, a small win of one goal is actually not a big advantage, but if you score a goal away, it will be of great help to the team back to home.

Seeing that Moreto did not drive the ball out, the Fiorentina players immediately launched a siege against Benfica. Tony was tall and weight, and consumed his energy very quickly. In the pressing, his position was aimed at goalkeeper Moreto, preventing Moreto from becoming a fulcrum for Benfica fans to pass the ball.

In addition, Tony's pressing has another purpose, which is to see if he can get a hole, because Benfica's goalkeeper is a bit unreliable. Although Moreto is 94 meters tall, his feet are rough. He doesn't know where to kick after driving out, and he often makes inexplicable mistakes. Tony is waiting for his mistakes now.

At the beginning of the game, the players holding the ball were a little nervous. The ball was like a charcoal, and no one dared to get the ball. The players in Fiorentina surrounded them like wolves. Even though Benfica's players had more skill than Italian players, facing the Fiorentina fans who rushed up fiercely, Benfica's players directly drove the ball towards the second half of Fiorentina, allowing their forwards to compete for the landing point of the ball.

This task is a bit difficult for Benfica's forwards. Whether it is Giovani, Robert or Simon, they are all speed and technical forwards. Unless the ball hits behind the Fiorentine defender, their speed and technical advantages can be used. Now they are fighting for the header with Fiorentine's central defender and midfielder. This is not a heavyweight at all. The ball was directly pushed by Dainelli and passed to his teammate Feorre.

Feore played in La Liga. La Liga and Portuguese Super League are both technical and streaming styles, very similar. Feore knows what their style of play is, and he can handle it easily. The ball is passed to his feet. Feore is not in a hurry to pass the ball, and lets the two Benfica players pounce over. Feore still calmly controls the ball, patrolling the whole game, and finding a suitable pass position.

Benfica's winger Simuk was the first to catch up, and he rushed over to steal Feore's ball.

Ximang is not a defensive player, and he has no intention of breaking the ball. His purpose is very simple, which is to delay Feore's dribbling, so that he has no time to think about how to pass the ball. He cannot steal this time, and the next wave of defensive players have arrived. Feore wanted to dribble the ball again at that time, and it was extremely difficult for Feore to dribble again.

Feore's movements were very coherent. He spiked the ball away from Ximang's tackle, then passed it with one pass, dropping the ball to Chen Yu who was retreating to get the ball. Almost at the same time, Fernandez's tackle also arrived, but this time he also made a pass.

The ball was passed to Chen Yu's feet, and the whole audience's eyes were all focused on Chen Yu's body.

The game has just started for two minutes. Although the game is very fierce and the pressing between both sides is very fierce, what everyone wants to see most is Chen Badminton taking the ball. Whether it is Fiorentina fans or Benfica fans, they all want to know what Chen Yu's performance will be today.

In fact, the biggest gimmick in this game is whether Chen Yu can play a hat trick on the Light Stadium.

Now they are allowed to compete with Fiorentina's central defender and midfielder for the header, which is not a heavyweight at all. The ball is directly pushed by Dainelli and passed to his teammate Feorre.

Feore played in La Liga. La Liga and Portuguese Super League are both technical and streaming styles, very similar. Feore knows what their style of play is, and he can handle it easily.
