damn it! I am a pawn! Looking at the fast physical exertion in Gattuso, Baggio Guidolin lamented a tactical board and thought, Although Gattuso’s entanglement is not a big threat to Roberto (Baggio) with his dribbling skills and firstclass ball sense, it will take a lot of energy and physical strength to get rid of his marking, so as the game goes on, when Robert has physical problems, it will be difficult for us to play our offensive tactics as expected before the game.
I have to say that Heinx played this handtohand tactic beautifully. At the expense of Gattuso, the veteran’s physical strength was greatly consumed, thus limiting Vicenza’s offensive and reducing Florence’s defensive pressure, so that the players could devote more energy to the offensive.
What makes Vicenza feel very difficult in the season is that apart from Baggio, they also have Ballack in the midfield, who can take charge of the overall situation at the crucial moment. Even if Heinks sends someone to pester Baggio Vicenza, he can still organize an offensive on the spot and pose a threat to Florence’s goal. Now, with Ballack away from Vicenza, there is no second person who can come out to take charge of the overall situation and help the team control the pace of the game.
At the same time, watching Zhuang Ge in the VIP box, I saw that I was cheated by Baggio several times, but I fell to the ground but still stubbornly got up and pounced on Baggio. Gattuso’s heart was also full of respect.
Unlike florentino, who knows how to hoard stars blindly in the center and frontcourt, he attaches great importance to defense. He is quite aware that Gattuso has played a huge role in this formation. Without Gattuso in Florence, there will be an imbalance between offense and defense. Without Gattuso’s restraint, Baggio can attack his own defense line to make threats.
Every player in the stadium has his own. He can win not only by accumulating superstars, but also by winning the championship trophy. Bluecollar players like Makelele and Gattuso are also an indispensable part of a championship team.
However, for Zhuang Ge, what happened in front of his eyes not only made him congratulate Gattuso for his surprise, but also made him feel more familiar. Holy cow, isn’t this the German World Cup final? ！”
Zhuang Ge clearly remembers that in that final, Italian national team coach Silver Fox Lippi killed the soul of the French team by this trick, and Zida made the Gaul rooster lose a good game in the lead of one goal and missed the second chance to win the World Cup.
Although in the eyes of many people, the biggest hero of the final was to make up for the loss and score an equaliser, and at the same time let Zida apply for a red card, Materazzi, but if Gattuso’s match was not tirelessly pestered by his ancestors, I’m afraid France would have solved the battle in the regular time. Where can we wait until Materazzi made great efforts to make Zida play in overtime?
Even the physical quality can be thrown out of Baggio for three blocks. Zida lost his temper in this tactic, not to mention that Zida is older than then and his physical quality is far less than that of Zizu Robert Baggio.
Although aware of this, Guidolin can’t think of an effective coping strategy. Although he desperately supplements in the summer transfer market, the negative impact of losing Ballack as a midfielder on Vicenza is obviously not so easy to eliminate. Neither vilani nor brocchi can replace the Germans to stay.
Maybe some people will say that since Florence can exchange Roberto Baggio for Guidolin, Keus and brocchi can also pester Lei Dongduo and albertini, so that it will not interfere with Florence’s attack?
Although this idea looks very good, it is actually a difficulty, that is, Lei Dongduo and albertini are relatively backward in their field activities. They organize attacks more in the middle and back court than in the front court like Roberto Baggio. If Vicenza wants to interfere with their movements, he must let Keus and brocchi overwhelm the halfcourt defense.
However, without the protection of midfield, Vicenza’s defence will be directly exposed to Fiorentina strikers. Guidolin has always been cautious, but he dare not bet on Milito and Dinatale whether they are wearing shooting boots today.
Although Vicenza can also restrain Florence, which is the core of the organization, by strengthening the front court, it is a pity that it is unrealistic for Baggio to want him to defend Lei Dongduo and albertini with his old arms and legs.
As Guidolin feared, as time went by, his physical strength was greatly consumed. Baggio had no way to compete and the initiative gradually fell into Florence’s hands. Without Baggio, the attack engine, Vicenza could rely on the personal abilities of Bresciano and others to seek changes and find opportunities to break the predicament.
In this way, with the deepening of the game, the balance of victory gradually tilted to Florence and fell into a state of singlehandedness, while Vicenza was getting closer and closer to failure.
Chapter 15 Revenge War ()
Because the home team can’t play the game on the offensive end, Florence players can put more energy into the attack, so the defensive pressure of Vicenza players on the spot becomes more and more serious as time goes by. They should not only be careful to deal with Florence’s offensive in positional warfare, but also be more careful when it is their turn to attack, because there are two major organizations, Lei Dongduo and albertini, who are in Florence to fight back.
In the 36th minute of the halftime, Roberto Baggio was successfully intercepted by Gattuso in the process of turning with the ball, and the latter gave the ball to Lei Dongduo who met him nearby!
Although compared with the peak period, the Argentine king’s physical condition can no longer support him to cover the whole midfield as before, and his ability to get rid of defenders and insert attacks has also declined greatly, but the timing of the ball and personal technical luck have become more and more perfect with time. Seeing Lei Dongduo’s left foot rubbing the ball, he drew a wonderful parabola and went straight to Vicenza’s backcourt, and was responsible for assisting Baggio in the frontcourt countergrab. When brocchi was slow in the grab, he stopped Lei Dongduo’s kinetic energy from sighing at the ball that had gone.
Lei Dongduo’s long ball with his left foot was very accurate. The ball just went over Keus’s head and landed on diego milito’s foot, which was fighting Heinze at the halftime in Vicenza.
In the face of Argentine compatriot Heinze’s guarding Milito, he didn’t blindly choose to play Milito himself. He knew very well that it was impossible for him to break through the latter’s defense by relying on extraordinary strength and physical quality like vieri. So after protecting the ball from Lei Dongduo, Milito first leaned back against Heinze to prevent the other side from going around in front of him to steal, then glanced at the surrounding situation out of the corner of his eye, and then pushed the ball sideways with his left foot arch, which penetrated Vicenza’s entire defense line almost instantly!
Danger! While Milito sent the ball back to the goal, Guidolin couldn’t help shouting that he had a wider field of vision than the players, and naturally they could see it more clearly than Heinze. Massimo (Oddo) keep an eye on that Spaniard, and don’t let him catch the ball, let alone speed it up!
Although Zhuge Xiao reacted quickly enough, it was a pity that Guidolin woke up too late and realized the danger. Oddo just turned around and found that Vincent had got the ball first!
After receiving Milito’s ball, Vincent’s horse sped up to the extreme, speeding up in the simplest and rudest straight line, leaving Oddo far behind, leaving the latter with no chance to commit tactical fouls.
Take the ball into the penalty area. Vincent didn’t have a wave. This singlehanded ball opportunity attracted ballotta’s attention and lured him to attack and block it. After that, the Spanish winger decisively took the ball to the other side of the penalty area. While Abidar was unprepared to cut into the penalty area, Dinatale flattered and sent Vincent to the front door!
However, although he scored his first goal in Serie A, Dinatale did not celebrate the goal with his teammates, but walked towards the halfcourt with a cool face as if the goal had never appeared on the court.
It is not surprising that Dinatale will do this. After all, he has played for Vicenza for so many years, he will naturally have some feelings for this team. Therefore, he is unwilling to openly celebrate the goal in front of tens of thousands of Vicenza fans in this first match with his former club, even though he is really very happy with the goal at this time.
Don’t panic! Continue to play according to the tactics arranged before the game. Don’t be impulsive! Seeing that the team showed some signs of instability after losing the ball, Guidolin quickly came out and shouted at the players on the court and called Baggio to the sidelines to give a lecture. After Robert returns the ball later, I want you to retreat to the midfield and organize the team to attack and give the scores to Christian (lucarelli) and Samuel (Eto’ o). You should stop pestering Gattuso, which will be very bad for the team.
No problem Robert Baggio nodded at once when Guidolin told him to do so. Although he would have to stay away from the goal in this way, the difficulty of scoring would increase greatly, but Baggio was still willing to accept Guidolin’s arrangement if he could make the team’s attack smooth again.
Although Baggio’s biggest goal now is to score 200 goals in Serie A, and he has made great efforts, he has been scarred and has not given up this goal now, but the melancholy king will not care much about it after a game.
However, just as Vicenza players calmed down gradually in Guidolin and prepared for the counterattack, Florence scored another goal shortly after halftime, which gave another blow to the home team.
This time Florence’s goal was that diego milito Vincent broke through Oddo’s defense from the left. Heinze tried to clear the ball in the restricted area but made a fatal mistake. After that, he outflanked Milito and easily pushed the goal near the corner to make the score twotoone.
Although the Vicenza players were unwilling to lose at home, they stubbornly launched attacks on the Florence gate again and again in the following period, but their attacks were tight in Florence, with little effect. lucarelli was suppressed by Lucio’s physical condition, and Eto’ o was proud of his speed and breakthrough in front of Stada. Baggio was even more active as an organization midfielder because Gattuso had to stay away from the goal.
On the other hand, Florence became more and more brave. They seized a quick counterattack opportunity in the 13th minute of the game, and further expanded the lead from the substitute vieri to more than three goals!
In the end, when Corina blew the whistle at the end of the game, the 30 victory over Vicenza in Florence finally avenged the season.
Chapter 16 Autumn hurricane (7)
After a threegoal victory over Vicenza in the away game, Fiorentina welcomed the Champions League group match against Bayern Munich, the German Bundesliga overlord, in the following week.
This season is really bad for Bayern Munich. Although they got strong support from ze Roberto and Frings in the summer transfer market, the aging of the main players such as Fink, Thomas Linke and Kufuor has greatly reduced the strength of this top club. They are no longer the top team that could compete with Florence for the big ear cup two years ago.
However, neither the top players nor the bottom players in Bayern Munich really know this. In their view, Bayern is still the team that can lead Manchester United in the first half of the game. The top European teams missed the championship trophy because they relaxed their vigilance at the end. At present, they are in a decline in the Champions League, but only because the main players have not recovered from the fatigue caused by the World Cup and added a moment of carelessness that they have not won in the first two rounds of the group stage.
This view has a great market among Bayern supporters. In the eyes of fans, this team, which has many famous players such as Alber, Sauer, ze Roberto and Frings, is absolutely capable of competing for the Champions League trophy. They will definitely play their due role in this match with Florence and take practical actions to clear their name!
However, in the third round of the Champions League group match, Bayern fans came to Munich Olympic Stadium to cheer for the home team. It can be said that they were frustrated on the spur of the moment. Although Bayern players tried their best to win their first victory in the Champions League at home, they firmly grasped the initiative after the game and did not give the home team a chance from beginning to end!
Twentynineyearold vieri’s strong body and sprint ability not inferior to most speed strikers turned Bayern’s defense line upside down and scored goals in the thirteenth and twentieth minutes of the game respectively, which helped Florence establish a twogoal lead early, while vieri’s striker partner and friend Inzaghi also played an excellent role in this game. The team sealed the victory with one goal and fully demonstrated his power as a top striker!
Fiorentina’s goal was scored by the current German national team leader Ballack, an attacking and defensive midfielder, who broke Kahn’s fingers with a landmark back shot at the end of the game to expand the score by four points!
Watching the fierce defensive counterattack by Florence and the almost breathless oppressive defense suppress Bayern players hanging on the big screen, the bloody 4score sitting in the stands watching Bayern fans watching the ball in the VIP box, Hess and rummenigge and other Bayern executives finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
It turns out that the team’s performance in the Champions League this season is not only due to the sequela of the World Cup. After seeing Kahn’s goal being broken by Florence for the fourth time, Hess rubbed the bar and analyzed with a pensive expression. Carl (rummenigge) I think it is necessary for us to make a big cleanup of the team in the summer of 2008. It is obviously time to completely overthrow and rebuild the team.
Well, you’re right. rummenigge nodded and agreed with Hess. From the current situation, the season occupies the main position in the team. Most of the players have slipped very badly after the new season. For example, except Kufuor and Sagnol, the other three players in this starting defense line are over 30 years old. Thomas Linke and Oliver (Kahn) are thirtythree years old. At the age of thirtyfour, it is really difficult to deal with the top strikers who are in their prime.
After thinking about it, rummenigge added, And even Sagnol and Kufuor are not very safe in the defense line. Although Kufuor was called a defensive expert in the past and his 26yearold age can be regarded as a golden age in the guard group, his beloved daughter died early in an accident this summer, but her spiritual level was completely destroyed. After the season, there was a sharp slip, and there is still no sign of recovery. I doubt that Kufuor is likely to. Therefore, I will never be able to find my peak again. (Note that Kufuer’s daughter actually died in January of 3 years, which was more than three months earlier because of the plot.)
And torsten fink and michael tarnat saw that rummenigge was considering the need to clean up the target in the summer of 2008, and Hess also gave some players that he had already planned to send away. They are not young, and their state has already passed their peak. It is the best choice to send them away as soon as possible to make room for those good seedlings with more potential.
With the defeat of the German national team in the World Cup in 1999 and the European Cup in 1992, most German clubs have changed their thinking and strengthened the training of young players instead of relying on veterans like Dessler, claudio pizarro and Hargreaves. However, Bayern still has a long way to go to truly realize the rejuvenation of the team.
But fortunately, there is nothing to compete with us in the national arena this season. When it comes to the league trophy, rummenigge can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Dortmund is in a financial crisis, and the players are concentrating on the game record, so they have slipped a lot. This season, they will definitely compete with us for the league title; Leverkusen was poached by you, and the two most important generals lost their midfield engines. They are still worried about relegation and don’t bother us. Other teams, such as Schalke 4, Bremen and Stuttgart, have good strength and some good players, but they still compare with us.
Well, it’s better if we can keep the league battlefield this season than the Champions League. This year is just like this for the time being. We Hess, general manager of Bayern Munich, attaches more importance to the Bundesliga championship than the European competition. In his eyes, the league is the root of a club. Hess can accept the reality that the team’s performance in Europe is not good, but he can’t bear the result of the league championship!
So under the guidance of this ideology, Hess and rummenigge didn’t think about changing coaches. They were thinking about which teams should be hired to finish the team reconstruction work as quickly as possible next summer!
Chapter 17 Focus Campaign ()
However, even if there are many ideas about team reconstruction, Hess and rummenigge can’t solve these problems immediately now that the transfer door has been completely closed. They can wait until the winter transfer door is opened before they can gradually deal with these things and adjust and rebuild the first team.
In this way, I realized that I had underestimated the aging of the team. Hess and rummenigge could silently swallow Bayern Munich’s bitter defeat to Florence by four goals in the first leg between the two sides. At the same time, they also secretly prayed in their hearts that Florence would be more lenient in the second leg after half a month and not give them another embarrassing defeat.
It’s not that they don’t want to see the team revenge Florence scene, but the gap between the strength of Bundesliga Hollywood and Viola is too big when a large number of main players are slipping. It’s really not possible to avenge this in the season.
Although disappointed with the team’s performance in the Champions League last season, Bayern is still far ahead of other Bundesliga teams in the standings in China. Neither Hess nor rummenigge thought of firing Hitzfeld. After all, the head coach has led the team to the Champions League finals twice in the past four seasons and won the salad bowl symbolizing the Bundesliga champion three times, which has proved his teaching ability.
So after the game, Hess once again embarked on a journey to prepare for a largescale cornerdigging operation in Germany. While strengthening himself, he can also attack those teams that may challenge Bayern’s national hegemony, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
Compared with Florence, the players in Bayern Munich were excited by this victory. After all, they beat the team this time, but Bayern Munich was the most deserving leader in German football, and it was a 40 victory. Such excellent results greatly enhanced the selfconfidence of many newcomers.
In particular, Vincent, a Spanish winger who has been dormant for two seasons in the second team, got a lot of playing opportunities quickly after being called by the first team this summer. This treatment made Vincent feel great pressure while enjoying himself. After all, compared with those famous teammates in the second division last season, Vincent really didn’t get any results. Now, he has repeatedly exploded the performance of counterpoint defenders in important games such as Vicenza and Bayern, which has made Vincent famous for many fans and experts. It is not impossible to challenge Figo’s title as the world’s number one winger if Vincent can maintain his current level and continue to improve his ability.
After a fourgoal victory over Bayern Munich and three victories, he continued to rank first in Group G, and returned to Florence, Italy the following weekend to welcome the seventh round of Serie A against Inter Milan at Frankie Stadium.
After winning the Serie A championship in the season, Mo Da’s boss was full of joy and once again opened his pockets to strengthen the team. So last summer, Crespo moved from Lazio, which was in financial crisis. His arrival marked that batistuta, the Argentine god of war in the past decade, officially retired from the second line and entered the twilight of his career.
At the same time, Moratti also hired White Davis Zati from Florence and Parma’s defensive backbone fabio cannavaro to further strengthen the team’s defensive strength and let Cooper, who is good at defending, have more good cards to play.
I have to say that Cooper’s Inter Milan is really a strong soldier. Ma Zhuang has no weakness except for the lack of midfield organization and creativity. The depth of the bench is the firstclass level in Europe.
Think about it. Every time Inter Milan plays, the Nerazzurri’s bench will always be filled with Batty, emre, recoba, Adani and Gamara. Such a luxurious array will greatly reduce the possibility of Inter Milan’s gutter capsizing.
It is precisely because of this that Inter Milan was regarded by many fans as the most powerful contender for the Serie A title before the league tournament. The odds of winning the championship were ahead of the other 17 Serie A teams. Even in the summer, they brought in Ballack and albertini and other strong reinforcements, and Florence was on a par with the Nerazzurri in this respect. In fact, even though Florence won six consecutive victories in the league tournament and triumphed on all three fronts, the odds given by major European gaming companies to Inter Milan are still slightly lower than those of Viola, ranking second in Serie A.
In addition, the two teams are currently ranked first and second in the league standings, so from any angle, the showdown between Florence and Inter Milan is an outandout focus battle!
