Therefore, Leverkusen will naturally feel very sad when he sees that Bayern Munich is trying to win in the Champions League, even a team of Lance’s level can’t win it.
Just as Hitzfeld and Hess Bayern were distressed by their poor performances in the Champions League, Florence returned to Italy with five consecutive victories to prepare for the fourth round of Serie A!
Chapter 175 The fourth round of the league test ()
For Florence, the fourth round of Serie A this weekend is a very severe test.
I will say this because Florence’s opponent is the runnerup in Serie A last season and their number one enemy in China, Bianconeri Juventus!
We should know that in the past summer, Florence, which has experienced the four major cities, has undergone a considerable upgrading of the aging team, not only selling Shevchenko and Ronaldo, but also releasing Ljungberg and Hyypia, important members of the rotation team, such as Di livio and Lala, and other veterans, who also announced their retirement at the end of the season. At the same time, they brought in new blood like Ballack and diego milito to completely help Pirlo, the new core of the team, to complete the team reconstruction during this transfer period.
Although Florence has won five consecutive victories in various competitions in the new season, Viola still lacks sufficient power in performance in many people’s eyes. After all, these five opponents in Florence are not top teams. Empoli and Regginagen are relegation teams. Lance is limited by the league environment and their own financial resources, but they are just modest ordinary teams. La Coruna and Parma are stronger than Birence, but they still have a certain gap with the top teams.
Juventus, on the other hand, have played against Fiorentina. These teams won the runnerup in Serie A in different seasons. They are regarded as an outandout top team. Therefore, in the eyes of most fans and the media, the result of the match between Fiorentina and Juventus will prove that the summer transfer effect of Viola is the most powerful evidence!
If Florence beats Juventus in this game, it can temporarily prove that Viola has successfully rebuilt this summer; The antiFlorence management will be laughed at by rival fans and the media for releasing aliens and Sheva for a long time, unless the players can prove their strength with another victory over the strong teams.
Perhaps some people will question the result of a game to see whether the team reconstruction is successful. Is this a bit too rash?
Although it feels a little too cold to say this, I’m sorry that professional football is such a winning and losing sport. No matter how gorgeous and beautiful a team plays or how ugly it is, people often know a lot about the winners, and rarely remember what the losing side has achieved and how many amazing achievements it has made.
Think about it. In the 1910 s, Santana, an artist, led the Brazilian national team to play gorgeous artistic football, but what happened? They didn’t win a heavyweight championship. They were finally remembered as just a few people, such as Zico, Socrates and Fa Erkao. But what about Italy, which was called conservative and aesthetically pleasing? I believe that most fans can recite the names of most of the players, including baresi and Bergomi, who are not yet the main players.
For professional football, the criterion to measure the success of a team’s reconstruction is whether the team can win continuously. For Florence, this dialogue with Juventus is undoubtedly a midterm exam for the quality of the team’s reconstruction
At six o’clock on the evening of September 29th, Florence arrived at Alpi Stadium on time by the team bus to make final preparations for the fourth round of Serie A focus campaign.
Although Florence and Juventus played a Champions League match in the middle of the week, neither Heinx nor Lippi rotated the main lineup for this reason, because they all knew the importance of the game and naturally dared not be careless.
Florence is better here, because Zhuang Ge, the passerby, is behind the big golden finger, so the depth of the Viola bench has always been the highest in Europe, which makes Heinks have quite enough room to finetune the starting lineup in this game. Compared with the German coach in the Champions League match against Laco in the middle of the week, Lucio and Barak replaced the older Stam and albertini, who were in their prime of life, so they could have more physical strength to complete the tactical arrangement of the head coach. Inzaghi returned to the starting lineup after playing a substitute and played a full game, while diego milito sat on the bench because of too much physical consumption; Vincent squeezed Dinatale out of the starting lineup this time. Heynckes took a fancy to his better breakthrough ability on the wing and thought that he could better create scoring opportunities for teammates such as vieri and Inzaghi in the middle.
Look at Juventus again. Although it is impossible for Zhuang Ge to intervene in Zambrotta and Buffon to appear in Lippi’s account, there is still a set of powerful main line goalkeepers who are French sebastien frey Grosso, Montero, tudor and Thuram. The four defenders are lined up from left to right with Dutch wild boar Davis and Tacchinardi as partners. French striker Trezeguet and zebra king pierrot form a powerful front line, which can give full play to the characteristics of zebra king No.9 and a half.
On the two wings of midfield, Moggi proudly switched from Sampdoria in this summer’s transfer market. Pavel Devid and Mauro Camorasi, who just joined Italian nationality and was called up by the national team, are both full of physical strength and can attack and defend their generations. Especially, the Czech Iron Man has become the new core of the Bianconeri with his top running ability, tenacious fighting spirit and excellent overall situation. His excellent longrange shooting skills are one of Juventus’ main offensive means in the season.
With Devid and Camoranesi joining Juventus, the midfield has been in a slippery state since Deschamps left, and the Bianconeri finally got rid of Zida’s shadow. In the first three league matches, they achieved two wins and one draw, only two points behind Florence and Inter Milan.
At this time, the players of both sides have completed a series of prematch warmup and various preparatory activities, and quietly waited for the moment when the referee blew the whistle in their respective halves!
Chapter 176 The fourth round of the league test (in)
I didn’t expect that the joining of these two players would make Juventus’ strength rise so much … It didn’t show any fatigue at all to see the stadium galloping. Dewed and Camorasi accompanied Zhuang Ge to the Alpi Stadium to watch the game. antonioni couldn’t help but sigh, If we can take Dewed’s words in summer.
You’re right, DeVille is indeed a very good player. Zhuang Ge nodded and agreed with antonioni’s statement. But I think if we bring him from Sampdoria in the summer, the team’s midfield will become too crowded … Giancarlo, do you think if we can leave enough room for DeVille with four players: Ballack, albertini, Pirlo and Deco?
Haha, boss, of course I know this, antonioni said with a haha smile. You know I just said it casually, but then again, the core of a team like Dewed, who has no stars willing to do dirty work, is too rare. If we can bring him to Florence, the defensive hardness of the team in midfield can be upgraded to a higher level.
Alas, Giancarlo’s defense can’t be ignored, but the game isn’t just about defense. It’s also a very important link. How much does antonioni, the main member of the 2year World Cup champion team, pay attention to defense? Dewed and Ballack plus Makelele’s midfield configuration is really strong in defense, but this combination is too lacking in creativity on the offensive end. It’s not so easy to crush the strength of our team, but if it is replaced by those teams that can compete with our midfield, the shortcomings of lack of creativity will be limited.
The extreme emphasis on defense to the point of ignoring attack is a common problem of the younger brothers brought out by bearzot after they became head coachesfrom Tardelli to Gentile to the famous dino zoff, these famous players who did not do well in the head coach position in their player days, and many people have become synonymous with conservatism.
Take the justconcluded World Cup in Korea and Japan as an example. When the Italian national team arrived at the World Cup, it was actually able to win the flag by vieri alone. Others such as Totti, Inzaghi and Montera all fell into a goal shortage, which made people doubt Zoff’s coaching ability.
And antonioni can also be regarded as one of them. He tends to be conservative in club operation and management, and is unwilling to update the team array when the situation is still good. This is also why Florence held a lot of money in the background of Zhuang Ge’s retirement. One of the important reasons why Florence finally ended up in the transfer market. After all, it is no wonder that Florence missed the best opportunity to change hands with antonioni, a general manager who is highly expected but always hesitant about the transfer issue.
Just as Zhuang Ge and antonioni exchanged views on players such as Devid, Juventus took advantage of Florence’s blocked attack to launch a wave of counterattack. Pirlo’s direct ball was broken by Davis, and the Dutch wild boar horse distributed the ball to Grosso on the left. The latter then took the ball all the way into Florence’s half and started before Zambrotta rushed to grab himself!
Grosso controlled the ball’s landing point very accurately, and the ball just passed Starr’s interception and hit Trezeguet’s head. Unfortunately, the French striker’s header was blocked by Lucio, and the ball was directly thrown out of the penalty area by the latter, which did not pose a threat to Buffon who was guarding the door.
Although they failed to score a goal, Juventus fans in the stands still warmly applauded the native leftback of Zambrotta’s age to remind them of their nostalgia, as if they had seen the shadow of cabrini in the past.
Here, by the way, Grosso was called by the giants many years earlier than his previous life and held the main position in Juventus, mainly because his career starting point and experience were far better than those in the same period of history. During his years in Vicenza, a large number of highlevel competitions were tempered and coach Guidolin carefully trained, which made Grosso grow rapidly. According to the evaluation of professional sports media such as Gazzetta dello Sport and Kicker, Grosso retired from the Italian national team in Maldini, and now he has the ability to succeed Maldini.
Of course, if we consider that Koko has been plagued by injuries from time to time in recent years, which has affected his competitive state, Grosso still has a certain advantage in the main position competition.
When he arrived, Rio Grosso still played very steadily. Facing Zambrotta, who was the same age as himself, his experience and fame in the game far exceeded that of his predecessor. Grosso performed perfectly at both ends of attack and defense, and did not make any fatal mistakes in defense. The timing of assists and the cooperation of teammates were also quite capable, which caused a lot of trouble to Florence’s right defense.
Grosso in this world is much better than that in the previous life, but it’s really a pleasant surprise to stay in the oneonone contest with Zambrotta. Zhuang Ge was relieved to see that Grosso successfully took over Pesoto’s old job and stayed in the main position. It seems that even if Zambrotta is fixed in the rightback position, Italy will not be able to stay in the leftback position.
However, although Grosso performed very well in this strong dialogue and brushed a sense of presence in front of people, the first goal was not homefriendly. In the 29th minute of the Juventus game, Tacchinardi’s ball to Camorasi was intercepted by Barak and given to Pirlo, who seized the opportunity that Juventus had not completed the offensive and defensive conversion. Tacchinardi and Davis formed a midfield defense line and immediately distributed the ball to Inzaghi’s offside success. Pi Bo met the ball and shot angrily!
At the other end of the goal, sebastien frey looked at the ball helplessly and sighed.
A match! The first city away from Florence!
Chapter 177 The fourth round of the league test ()
Inzaghi’s goal ignited the enthusiasm of thousands of Fiorentina fans at Alpi Stadium, and they were worried about the fate of the team’s onsite game because it was an away game. They cheered and celebrated excitedly in the stands after seeing the referee declare the goal valid!
However, Lippi’s coaching Juventus will obviously not be knocked down by a mere goal. Less than ten minutes after Inzaghi’s Viola scored the first goal, the Bianconeri broke through the Florence defense in an attack and got a penalty!
This time, Juventus made great contributions, and it was Grosso, the leftback, who first played a wonderful oneonone match with Dewed and broke through Zambrotta’s righthand defense. Then he decisively chose to take the ball into the Florence penalty area before Zambrotta returned to the defense position, and then a false move deceived the defense. Lucio got the chance to challenge Buffon directly!
Being directly passed by Grosso’s fake move made Lucio feel ashamed, so he made a big mistake in emotion and was completely out of position. He actually reached out and grabbed Grosso’s jersey in a hurry!
Seeing that his opponent gave such a big gift, Grosso would naturally not refuse that the horse should fall to the ground along the Brazilian manpower road, and the referee’s whistle was followed by the stadium … Penalty!
I noticed that the referee’s finger pointed to the 12 yards, and Lucio just woke up like a dream and realized what kind of lowlevel mistake he had just madeno matter what he did, he shouldn’t drag down the opposing player in the penalty area. Even if Grosso took the ball and confronted Buffon, it would be much better than giving the opponent a penalty!
The worst thing is that, strictly speaking, Lucio was still behind the penalty area for this foul. Even if the referee sent him off the field with a red card, Lucio had nothing to complain about.
Fortunately, however, the referee did not show Lucio a red card for a foul in the restricted area this time, but awarded Juventus a penalty, which means that Florence will not fall into the position of ten men when it comes.
There is no doubt that the first player in Juventus saw that Del pierrot cheated the zebra king with an accelerated runup and Buffon easily pushed the right corner of the goal to tie the score to oneone!
Alas, Buffon, the goalkeeper, is doing everything well, but it’s too general. Looking at pierrot’s steady penalty kick into Zhuang Ge, I can’t help but sigh in my heart. It’s really surprising that Grosso has such a good awareness of assists at this time. It seems that Joseph (Heinks) is still too careless. If you take more precautions against Grosso’s assists, then I’m afraid that penalty kick just now won’t happen.
Although I am amazed at Grosso in my heart, Zhuang Ge will not be happy because Juventus, the sworn enemy, has got a strong support. What he will pay so much attention to Grosso is mainly Ingrosso’s growth certificate. He has always insisted on the view that the new generation of Italian players are not as miserable as people say, so that they can get enough competition and training in the process of growth, and they are all players who can grow up independently.
In Zhuang Ge’s view, Italian football clubs in previous lives will be short of fresh blood after the new century. After winning the World Cup in Germany in 6 years, they will face a dilemma, and the top three clubs in the north will definitely bear the unshirkable responsibility.
You know, at that time, AC Milan would rather give Serginho and Favali a lot of oldfashioned appearances than give antonini and Abate more opportunities to prove themselves. International columns have always appeared in front of fans, not to mention Inter Milan’s great boss, the Nerazzurri, has always been a handful of international players for the Italian national team; Even Juventus, who claims to attach the most importance to local players, actually doesn’t have many young players from Italy in their main lineup. Only after being forced to be relegated to the second division did they cultivate local rookies such as chiellini and marchisio under heavy pressure.
