By increasing the running distance of players, the effect of forcing and grabbing is enhanced, which forms a situation that more players play less in some areas of the stadium. This is what trapattoni stole from Fiorentina players when he coached the Italian national team, and now trapattoni has devoted his learning to dealing with Fiorentina. I have to say that this is really a quite dramatic picture.
Florence players didn’t expect that their tactical play would be stolen by trapattoni and would be successfully captured by Juventus. Therefore, in the first ten minutes after the game, they played away from home. It was very uncomfortable for Juventus players to organize and rob fiercely. There were many ball mistakes and they were almost scored by the Bianconeri at the beginning of the game.
If Buffon hadn’t paid enough attention and the world’s No.1 goalkeeper was in good form tonight, I’m afraid Florence would have been knocked unconscious by Juventus’ axe and lost the top battle in a daze.
Yeah, Florence is really difficult to deal with. We can still rely on a Buffon to keep the goal intact. trapattoni smacked his lips and was greedy for Florence’s luxurious player configuration. If Buffon plays for Juventus, then we can get at least 15 points in the league every season, so Florence can’t worry about anything!
This is not to say that trapattoni is not satisfied with Frey’s performance because Buffon is so excellent that any coach will have the possibility of getting him in his heart.
However, with the deepening of the game, Fiorentina players finally stabilized their position and relied on their technical advantages to compete with their opponents in the midfield. Pirlo and others frequently pushed the ball in front of Tacchinardi and others, showing their backs when they planned to score a goal through this breakthrough, so as to take the initiative in this decisive battle.
After all, the presence of Florence was suppressed by Juventus mainly because the Bianconeri’s tactical play of stealing from Florence caught them off guard. Now the players in Florence have adapted to this rhythm of the game and have seen that Juventus is the way they are used to playing. This tactical effect will naturally be greatly reduced.
In the tenth minute of the game, Pirlo tilted the ball to the right after avoiding Ibrahimovic’s push. Barak, the German, forced to accelerate the ball forward under the interference of Devid, didn’t return the ball to Pirlo until he attracted Tachinadi to doubleteam defense.
When Pirlo didn’t respond to Juventus players after receiving Ballack’s ball, the horse put the ball where Tachinadi was!
Just in time, Cristiano Ronaldo successfully received Pirlo’s ball. The Portuguese teenager didn’t try to show off his dribbling skills in front of Juventus players. After making a false move to break through the baseline, his right foot smashed the ball and broke through to the restricted area. While Gallas and Thuram both focused on Milito’s opportunity, they directly kicked the door!
Because I didn’t expect Cristiano Ronaldo to hit the goal directly in this position, Frey has been paying attention to the Portuguese movement, but he also put a lot of energy into the restricted area, so when he found that the ball was actually flying towards the goal, it was not enough for the French goalkeeper to make a save …
A match! After going through the difficult stage, Florence finally knocked on the door of Juventus and took the lead in this top battle!
Chapter 134 The first battle (3)
Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal ignited the passion of thousands of Florence fans, who excitedly waved all kinds of slogans and banners made by themselves in the stands to support the team and gave the scoring hero a warm applause and cheers!
Seeing that Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal after receiving Pirlo’s ball helped Florence break the deadlock, trapattoni was also quite naive. After all, although he was in close contact with the Italian national team and learned about Florence’s playing style, this does not mean that the gold medal coach can know all the details of Florence in just two years.
To tell the truth, it is quite remarkable that trapattoni can transplant the running body of Florence to Juventus relatively completely, so that the players can get used to defending by constantly running, instead of rigidly following Sacchi’s theory of creating regional defense to resist the Florence offensive as before. It is a bit overwhelming for him to learn more about Florence from the national team training.
It’s not that the tactical theory of regional defense is not good, but that in this era, especially in the face of Florence, a player may participate in the attack. The set of regional defense theory proposed by team Sacchi in the past is actually out of date. Therefore, if Juventus players still defend according to the original regional defense theory, it will be easy for Florence to form a numerical advantage in some areas and then be penetrated by the other side, resulting in the collapse of the whole defense body.
It is far from enough to deal with Florence only by piling up players on the defensive end to build a great wall for Juventus that can move according to circumstances, that is, a regional defender that conforms to the current trend is trapattoni’s ultimate goal
In addition to the defensive body modeled on Florence routine, other things, such as the positioning of winger and winger and how much trapattoni failed to steal from Florence, naturally there is no way to make a good choice. Along the former Lippi tactical arrangement, that is, liberating Devid and letting Czech iron man freely switch roles in the three positions of winger, middle avantgarde and front waist according to the situation; Camoranesi, on the other hand, is still regarded as a simple winger, which makes Roots have no intention of giving him more offensive freedom.
Trapattoni’s careless arrangement has just become the biggest obstacle for Juventus to break the game on the offensive end!
You know, after so many years of development, plus Florence, a successful case, the classical winger of the previous system has now shown a waning sun. Like today, football has higher requirements for wingers. It is absolutely not enough to know the bottom just as before. Like Cristiano Ronaldo, he can not only score the bottom, but also rush to the restricted area to grab some energy. This is the future development direction of wingers
Juventus, on the other hand, have David, who meets this requirement. Camoranesi is locked on the wing. Emerson and Tacchinardi are regarded as two midfielders, and there are not many opportunities to participate in the attack. Therefore, it is not surprising that Juventus can’t break through Florence’s defense with limited investment on the offensive end.
Sure enough, after the game resumed, the Fiorentina players adapted to the pace of the game, and their technical advantages and ball running played a smooth and harmonious match, which made the Juventus players who had not yet learned the true meaning have a lot of physical strength, but they can vent their anger and run around with the ball in vain. In defense, Florence’s strong control over the course of the ball makes the Bianconeri’s attack difficult. When the attack is cut by Viola, most of them can rely on their own ability to fight alone and can’t cooperate with their teammates.
But if Juventus don’t make any changes, Florence will have more and more advantages with the deepening of the game. Once Viola seizes the opportunity to expand its lead, the Bianconeri’s game will be really dangerous!
However, it is a comfort to all Juventus fans who are watching the game. Although Florence created many scoring opportunities in the aftertime and made Juventus nervous, thanks to Frey’s wonderful play and the help of the goalpost, the score was kept at onetoone, and the difference was not further widened by the opponent.
However, just as the halftime game was about to end with a score, Devid actually told all Florentines not to underestimate Juventus!
At the last minute before the halftime, the Czechs broke through Ballack’s defense by forcibly taking the ball after receiving Camorasi’s wideranging transfer ball, and then directly kicked out a longrange shot that was almost close to the turf three or four meters away from the restricted area line!
The ball flew quickly to the Florence gate and jumped in before Buffon saved it in place, making the score even!
No matter how passive the scene is and how powerful the opponent is, he will not give up the game. This is the Czech Iron Man! The true soul of Juventus!
After the goal, Devid made a fist roar with excitement, and gave vent to his depression, which was suppressed by his opponent at both ends of the attack and defense. It seems that Rao has an iron will, and the Czech iron man can’t stand it if he suppresses it for a long time.
Although the lead was swinging, the Fiorentina players didn’t panic because of it. After the game resumed, even though there were a few left at halftime, the Fiorentina players launched a wave of offensive and almost knocked on Frey’s guard door, which scared everyone in Juventus into a cold sweat.
However, the efforts of Florence’s players can stop here for the time being, because Corina has already sounded the whistle at the end of the halfgame. Florence will have to wait until halftime to win the key battle against Juventus.
Chapter 135 The first battle (4)
After the 15minute intermission, the players from both sides stepped on the turf of Alpi Stadium again. Neither trapattoni nor Mourinho made any changes to the team during this period. Both managers seem to believe that sending this starting lineup will bring them a victory.
Having said that, and the two coaches did it, it is quite necessary to adjust the tactical level. For example, trapattoni once again seriously woke up Juve players at halftime to increase the ball running in order to form a situation of playing more and less in some areas, which will turn into a successful attack or defense. It is by no means to let them chase the ball on the spot and be played by opponents with dominant foot skills
On the other hand, in Florence, Mourinho is not satisfied with the team’s performance in the competition stage, but he is still inexperienced. He can’t directly criticize these players. After all, compared with these bigname stars who have already made great achievements, Mourinho has not achieved much in the position of head coach. Mourinho doesn’t have enough prestige in the locker room to let these bigname stars follow all his orders. Therefore, at this time, the Portuguese can gently express his dissatisfaction with the team in the first 15 minutes after the game. He can’t spray a dog’s blood on everyone in the locker room like Ferguson at halftime.
If Mourinho dare to do this now, I am afraid that his coaching day in Florence will enter the countdown stage.
After that, Mourinho praised the players’ selfadjustment ability on the spot and Ronaldo’s goal, and also expressed regret that Juventus equalized the score at the last minute of the halftime, which well calmed the depressed mood of Florence players because they lost the ball at the last minute. Then Mourinho gave several suggestions to the players, such as expanding the running range of Cristiano Ronaldo and Vincent and others, to create more ball points for their teammates, so as to reduce the probability of being surrounded by Juventus players as much as possible. For another example, Mourinho also asked Pirlo, the commander, to increase the proportion of attack on the left as much as possible, so that Vincent could directly challenge Zebina.
Pirlo did not question Mourinho’s request, but nodded and accepted the coach’s arrangement, because he was equally aware that this French defender is the most unstable point in Juventus’ defense. It is obviously better for Vincent to attack Zebina’s defense than for others to break through the other three defenders.
Although Zebina didn’t show too much brilliance in the game, if he made those major mistakes, the Frenchman was like a time bomb. No one knows if he will suddenly embarrass his goalkeeper on the court.
In this way, when the halftime game was announced in Corina whistle, the players of both sides arranged their formations according to the tactics of their respective head coaches and launched a fierce charge towards this victory worth six points!
Compared with Mourinho, who is not rich in coaching experience and needs a lot of games and time to experience, trapattoni’s adjustment of the team is obviously more successful at halftime. Less than ten minutes after halftime, Juventus did not passively rely on strong running and sweeping ability in the game as in the second half of halftime, which was inextricably linked with Florence’s presence. Although Florence still occupied a certain wind in the game, Vincent’s assault on the left even screened Zebina’s right defense, but Viola’s presence advantage was obviously not as obvious as before halftime.
Because both sides put a lot of energy into the midfield fight, although the game scene is fierce and abnormal, the shooting times of the two teams are not many. Players from both sides often just get the ball and plan to organize an offensive, and then they will be surrounded by the other side, and then they will lose control of the ball in the fight, and then there will be a fierce battle, so it is difficult to play a threatening attack.
Having said that, it doesn’t mean that the players from both sides didn’t even create a chance to score. In the 73rd minute, Emerson suddenly sent an extremely beautiful straight ball while controlling the ball near the middle circle. The ball instantly penetrated the defense of three players in Florence and then rolled forward to Trezeguet’s foot!
After getting the ball and forming a single knife, the French center slightly adjusted in the penalty area without giving Buffon the opportunity to attack and block his own shooting angle, and directly volleyed at the far corner of the goal ten meters in front of the door!
After shooting the ball, Trezeguet felt extremely good in the whole shooting process. He couldn’t help cheering and imagining that if the score was kept until the end of the game, he would definitely be praised by the media and Juventus fans to end the Florence dynasty super killer and become a super striker no less than Shevchenko and vieri!
However, Trezeguet didn’t expect Buffon to appear on the ball flight route as expected, which blocked the sure shot from the goal and held the ball tightly in his arms, leaving no chance to catch up with Juventus players!
Seeing Buffon’s understatement, he can’t help but feel a deep despair when he hits Trezeguet’s goal and easily catches Juventus playerscan this guy really win the final victory even if he can catch such a shot?
Buffon’s magical save has dealt a great blow to the morale of Juventus players, but Florence’s morale has been greatly boosted. With such a gatekeeper ability, it can be called a BUG. The teammates sit in front of the door, and other players naturally have less worries in the attack, and they are more daring to do something instead of being careful, for fear that their mistakes will lead to losing the ball, which will make the team lose the key game.
Finally, when Corina blew the whistle at the end of the game, Florence beat Juventus 21 in the battle to reach the top of Serie A with Buffon’s magical save and Pirlo’s direct goal. At the same time, it finally kept pace with the Bianconeri in the league standings.
Chapter 136 The season is in progress (3)
Florence beat Juventus 21 at Alpi Stadium, ending the tengame winning streak of the Bianconeri League. Many Serie A coaches breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. After all, Juventus’ performance this season was really terrible, and there was a faint shadow of Florence that year. Therefore, when Juventus finally lost to Florence in the round robin, people were sure that Juventus would lose when they met a team of Florence’s level.
After all, since Juventus can lose to Florence once, it proves that the Bianconeri have not yet reached the enemy’s territory, so that other teams will lose a lot of fear when they face Juventus next time, and dare to try their best to get points from the Bianconeri instead of giving Juventus three points for nothing out of fear, and save their strength to deal with those teams that seem more convenient for them to get points.
From a longterm point of view, it is of great significance for Florence to beat Juventus in this direct confrontation. If they fail to win the Bianconeri in this match or directly lose this contest, it will be very difficult for Viola to catch up with Juventus in the standings, because other teams will probably let have it both ways deliberately release water against the Bianconeri, which will bring more trouble for Florence to catch up with the shunt.
Although taking Juventus as the archrival consumes a lot of physical strength and energy of Florence players, such a key victory has also greatly boosted the morale of Florence players, so that they have to cheer up to meet the coming game when their physical strength and state have not yet recovered!
So three days later, in the 12th round of Serie A, Florence returned to Frankie Stadium. After 90 minutes of hard work, she relied on Inzaghi to make up a shot in front of the smart door at halftime injury time. She struggled to win Livorno and continued to go hand in hand with Juventus, who also scored three points in the round.
However, the fierce confrontation between Florence and Juventus in the league has not only made the fans happy, but also made many national team coaches miserable, especially Italian coach Fabio Capello and French coach Domec, who couldn’t wait to call Florence and Juventus and ask them not to work so hard in the league. Don’t really tire the pillars of these national teams.
You know, the harder Florence and Juventus fight in the league, the harder it will be to ensure the players’ status on the national team match day, and the national team’s performance will be affected, which is not what Capello and others want to see
This is not because the new round of national team competition day was affected by the excessive consumption of Florence and Juventus in the league battlefield as scheduled after Florence won Livorno at home. Since Capello came, the Italian national team has encountered a lot of difficulties in the competition. If Italy had not only played a friendly match this time and had no World Cup qualifiers, I am afraid that the Azzurri would have won the gold medal in the next World Cup qualifier.
At this point, Domec, the new coach of the French national team, spoke very much. With Zida and other veterans withdrawing from the national team Domec after the European Cup in Portugal, the cards were far less luxurious than those of his former Santigny. Therefore, when Gallas, Zebina and Frey, players he relied on, consumed too much in club competitions and affected their state, and he fell out with Pires and other team backbones, France’s performance was naturally miserable.
Due to the fact that few national teams in the main warmup match day need players to seriously deal with the World Cup qualifiers, this time Florence’s players are generally not worn out during their national team’s effectiveness and the players are in good health, so there is no problem in representing Florence in the next game.
After getting the news, Mourinho finally felt a little better. After all, for the club coach, they are most afraid of facing the following things: first, players are injured while participating in the national team competition, which will cause them to be injured in the next few days. However, if the injured players are Zida, Pirlo or Starr, which are enough to make the team instantly upgrade to a higher level, then they will be really tragic.
On November 24th, the fifth round of the Champions League group match was as scheduled, but Florence had already qualified for the top 16 before winning the first four games. Therefore, in this confrontation with Valencia, Mourinho decisively released all the main players and sent a set of main substitutes such as Gattuso and Ribery, and the young players’ main starting lineup. Relying on their best defensive counterattack, they will be eager to score points in the away game and stabilize the group ranking. Valencia made a face full of flowers and a score of three to one, which made the Bat Corps depressed.
