After the Champions League draw ceremony, Florence soon ushered in the 20th round of Serie A against Inter Milan.
In the face of the home game, Fiorentina Inter Milan coach Simone decisively chose his best and most common defensive counterattack tactics. Except Roberto Baggio can stay in the frontcourt and be ready to fight back at any time, even djorkaeff has to retreat to the square half to defend, which shows the importance he attaches to defense.
What Simone will do? Capello wants to know the heel, so he is determined to lead the team to score three points at home. Capello decisively put Rui Costa, Lei Dongduo and effenberg into the starting list, with Dutch wild boar Davis defending full-time.
Toldo, Zambrotta, Lala, Starr, Roberto Carlos, Lei Dongduo, Davies, effenberg, Rui Costa, vieri and Inzaghi are the starting list of 11 people in Florence.
Capello means exactly that: attack to destroy the Nerazzurri!
As Capello expected, in a game away from home, Inter Milan took the initiative to shrink the defense and compress Florence’s attack in an attempt to lure Florence into attacking and then solve the home team through a quick counterattack.
However, Fiorentina players did not easily give the visiting team a chance to fight back. With Lei Dongduo, Costa and effenberg sitting in the midfield, Fiorentina had a high accuracy in the game.
Deliberately planning in the three midfielders, unless there is a chance to shoot, the Fiorentina ball is completed in the area 30 meters away from the gate of Inter Milan.
Lei Dongduo, what they will do is to consume the physical strength of Inter Milan players in this way. After all, generally speaking, the physical strength of the defensive side is much more than that of the offensive side.
When the opponent has physical problems, the defense will naturally not be as tight as it was at one time. The more defense buildings, the more chances Florence will have to score.
Inter Milan players can watch the home team keep falling feet 30 meters away, but they dare not act rashly, because Lei Dongduo and others all have extremely sharp skills. Once they rush to grab the ball, it is likely to lead to omissions in the whole defense, so that the opponent will seize the opportunity to score.
But if you want to win a victory through blind defense and a handful of counterattacks, you need not only excellent strength but also enough luck.
However, it is obvious that Inter Milan was unlucky tonight. In the eleventh minute of the game, Carlos suddenly shot his foot 35 meters away from the goal. Although pagliuca bravely blocked the ball from the gate, pagliuca didn’t hold the ball but chose to hit it out of the penalty area with his fists!
However, at the moment when pagliuca hit the ball, a purple figure suddenly appeared in front of the Inter goalkeeper and headed the ball that was supposed to fly out of the penalty area to the Inter Milan gate!
Chapter 55 The wind in February (4)
Seeing that he had just played out and the ball flew back, pagliuca was naturally frightened to disgrace and didn’t care who pushed the ball back. He quickly straightened his arm and jumped in the direction of the ball’s flight in an attempt to stop the ball outside the goal again.
But this time pagliuca failed in his efforts. Before he arrived, the ball had crossed the goal line and plunged into the goal he was responsible for guarding!
“Goooooooal！ Goal! The goal is filippo inzaghi! He headed pagliuca’s clearance ball into Inter Milan! Now Florence leads Inter Milan by one! " The game will end in a draw. When the commentator saw the goal, he couldn’t help shouting excitedly, "There is nothing wrong with pagliuca’s choice, but this time he met a goal that was like life. This clearance will become a low-level mistake! It can be said that this goal is finished because Inzaghi is as sensitive as a hound! "
Inzaghi, the team’s first record, flew to the stands and the fans in Florence to celebrate the goal. There is nothing that makes him feel better than scoring in the game!
In this case, if Inter Milan insists on defensive counterattack, the score will be ahead of Florence, but in the same way, less than ten minutes left in the game will be consumed. Simone’s side will continue to adhere to his conservative policy and can choose to strengthen the attack to see if it can equalize the score in the last few minutes.
Although determined to strengthen the attack, the Italian coach was worried that withdrawing a defender would make the cunning Inzaghi find more chances to score goals, so he withdrew the midfielder Zeelias and replaced him with "Ivan the Terrible" zamorano to make a last-ditch effort.
In the game, it is the most important thing to attack and get back the score as soon as possible, but Simone didn’t have the courage to cross the rubicon at this time. It is enough to change zamorano.
If it were Ferguson or Mourinho, he wouldn’t care about defense at this time, so he just swung his arm and attacked!
At this critical moment, the most taboo is that the head coach can’t look forward and backward because of the fish’s paw, which is likely to lead to eating ash behind others’ ass and getting nothing else.
This time, Simone’s actual action proved this point well. After the re-ball, although Inter Milan players tried to attack, they were able to threaten Florence goal players. Actually, Baggio, zamorano, djorkaeff and Moreno were able to deliver shells because of their position, but the threat to the goal was greatly weakened.
Therefore, Inter Milan’s counter-attack at the last minute seemed a little heavy rain, and the Nerazzurri was almost attacked by Florence with a quick counter-attack.
In the end, thanks to Inzaghi’s half-time mistake in front of the door, Florence won a valuable victory by visiting Inter Milan at Frankie Stadium!
This defeat made the boss very dissatisfied with the team coach Simone. In his mind, Inter Milan should be the kind of team whose defense is as strong as steel and whose attack is as fierce as fire. How can this guy be a team with many big-name attackers but can’t even attack?
Although Inter Milan’s performance in Simone is quite good, eleven wins, four draws, five losses and thirty-seven points rank third in the standings, but if Florence’s record of ten wins, one draw and only one loss and fifty-five points is somewhat insignificant.
What’s more, Moratti’s arch-enemy Juventus is also 12 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses at this time, and the score of 42 points is over his head, so the result is acceptable to him!
Zhuang Ge knows the history. Inter Milan is really good this season, but it was surpassed by the Bianconeri in the standings in the middle of the season. Later, when Juventus was distracted, the Champions League gradually recovered its disadvantage. However, Moratti’s team was still one point behind the Bianconeri before the infamous Italian derby.
In fact, the reason why Inter Milan was runner-up in the league that season was not only the well-known misjudgment, but also the passive key for Inter Milan to lose points in such weak teams as Barry and Empoli!
There is no problem in strong dialogue, but it always loses points in weak teams. This is the problem of this Nerazzurri now.
However, it is a pity that Moratti is not a traveler or an excellent operator. He is always a pure fan in football, so he can’t see that Inter Milan can solve the problem in the simplest and direct way.
The boss, who was so anxious, once again turned his attention to the transfer market. Of course, his goal is not only those famous foreign star coaches, but also his inspection scope-Moratti believes that he can definitely find a coach who can reproduce the glory of the great international era in Inter Milan!
Not to mention that Simone is facing a letter crisis, let’s turn our attention back to Florence.
After defeating Inter Milan, Florence will face Empoli, a fishing club that lost its meritorious coach Spalletti.
On the fourth day after the match with Inter Milan, on February 15th, the 21st round of Serie A went on as scheduled.
In the face of Empoli’s ambition to win the championship in the relegation zone, Florence will not hesitate to kill this fish ball!
Because the decisive battle with Juventus was a week later, Capello didn’t reserve anything in this game, but threw all the main players into the field and made up his mind to win on the road!
Empoli put on an iron bucket array, but their defense is as fragile as a paper shell in front of Florence, where their personal ability is much better than that of Florence.
Batistuta, who made his debut, gave full play to his strength advantage and rampaged into the restricted area of Empoli; Ronaldo’s dazzling dribbling and passing almost made the Empoli defender who defended him twist himself …
It is said that even the iron drum array needs money.
In the end, the Argentine god of war scored a goal, and the alien scored twice. They scored three goals in the game, and a three-to-one score helped Florence score three points away from home, which also made Viola far ahead of other competitors in the league standings!
Chapter 56 The wind in February (5)
Up to now, Serie A has gone through 21 rounds, ranking first in the standings, and Florence has been ahead of Juventus by more than 13 points!
In fact, most people can see that there will be no accidents, such as turning over the difficulties in Su Pei (which caused the red bull Turin, which was in its heyday in the 1940 s, to be the culprit) or making a series of unspeakable words. This season’s league champion, Kiki, can be said to be in Florence.
But many people don’t want to admit this at present for the simple reason that they are not fans of Florence, but supporters of Inter Milan or Juventus who still have a glimmer of hope of winning the championship.
Of course, all these fans don’t want to give up and surrender to Florence before the end of the season, but look forward to a miracle, just as Manchester United in the British Isles magically reversed the leader Newcastle United a few years ago when it was more than ten points behind.
However, this miracle obviously can’t happen casually. At that time, the magpie boss was mediocre in kevin keegan, but now the Florence coach is known for his stability, Capello.
Capello’s team was reversed by the opponent? This probability is so low that even the gaming companies are unwilling to make an offer!
After a full week’s rest after the away win over Empoli, Fiorentina players welcomed Juventus, their arch-enemy and biggest rival in the season league, at Frankie Stadium.
If Florence wins this game, then there will be 12 rounds left in the league, leading by 16 points. Florence Kiki can be said to be a sure winner of the championship; If Viola loses and Juventus can concentrate on coping with the league, there are still ten points left in the difference, and the Bianconeri are not irreversible.
However, Juventus coach Lippi didn’t think so. In his view, this season, Florence has a higher advantage than Florence in the league, so it is better to concentrate on playing the Champions League.
Because Jinglippi also saw that UEFA is sparing no effort to set up a lot of obstacles for Florence to win the Champions League three times in a row. Otherwise, how could Florence be so unlucky that it would meet the strongest Dortmund in the group stage?
Because Juventus and Florence were in two and a half different zones in the draw, there is no chance to meet unless both teams reach the final!
In Lippi’s view, this is the best chance for Juventus to dominate the Champions League. When UEFA put a lot of strong team resources in the middle of the zone to deal with Florence, Juventus can be said to be the first team in the half zone. In terms of the same group, Dynamo Kiev, Porto, Monaco or Rakonuca Ajax Arsenal’s overall strength is worse than the Bianconeri!
