Since you don’t have those midfielders bring up the rear here and the opponent is still famous for attacking in Serie A, Zeman led Rome, then playing defensive counterattack is naturally the best choice for Capello.
However, due to the absence of Lei Dongduo and others, Florence lacks a starting point for quick counter-attack, so Capello’s so-called defensive counter-attack actually leaves the previous word, that is, defense!
So on the first night of March, I came to the Olympic Stadium to watch the Serie A highlight between Rome and Florence. The fans were surprised to find that Capello actually transported the extremely conservative tactical play of four defenders and three midfielders in this game!
Fortunato, Stam, Starr, angloma, Dibiagio, tommasi, Zati … Capello plans to join hands to build the Great Wall of Steel and stay in the frontcourt to harass vieri, Inzaghi and ze Roberto to get a point away!
Capello has a good idea and there are no loopholes in his thinking, but he obviously forgets the important point that Zeman is not a guy who can infer according to common sense.
In the face of Florence’s iron barrel array, the Czechs obviously couldn’t easily promise their opponents to take a draw at the Olympic Stadium, so when he saw the Florence line retreating, he immediately waved his hand and let the players play a half-court offensive and defensive drill with Florence!
Although Florence’s players resisted the wave of Roman attacks again and again with tenacious defense and perseverance, toldo, the starting goalkeeper, was awarded the best player in the game because of many wonderful times in front of the game, but Florence finally failed to realize her wish to score points at the Olympic Stadium. Francesco Totti put a long-range shot behind her foot in the tenth minute of the game, which made Florence’s players’ efforts in the whole game a dream.
One to one! Florence, the short-staffed Major General, suffered the second defeat in Serie A this season here in Rome!
The loss to Rome in the derby sounded the alarm for Florence players. The loss made them realize that although Florence has achieved excellent results now, their strength is far from reaching the point where an opponent can easily win.
Capello also took this opportunity to clean up his hands well. These players played the carrot and stick strategy to the fullest, which not only made the players feel a sense of crisis and take the motivation of every game seriously, but also did not destroy the confidence of the players too much, which only dispelled their conceit.
Therefore, cheer up. The Fiorentina players beat the fish ball team into a sieve in one breath in the 24th league match with Piacenza a week later.
Filippo inzaghi scored twice, and his good friend vieri also scored a goal in the game to return to Costa from a cold. He also scored a very beautiful direct goal and came on as a substitute. Cruise scored a goal in the final stage of the game, and finally slaughtered Florence 5-1. In this league, the fishing club won a victory, and the difference between Juventus and Houdusse’s draw was widened to 15 points again!
Florence is getting closer and closer to the goal of four consecutive league titles.
Chapter 59 Difficult March (2)
After beating Piacenza at home, Florence flew to Germany to prepare for the second leg of the upcoming Champions League final.
Although Florence attaches enough importance to Dortmund, the players’ mentality is generally relaxed. After all, with the total score of 5-0, the probability that the Germans want to complete the comeback in the second round can be said to be limited to.
For this second leg, Capello did not send the strongest team to fight, but made a big rotation of the starting team to ensure that the players have enough physical strength to cope with the later games.
De Sang Ke, fortunato, Materazzi, Lala, angloma, tommasi, Dibiagio, Zati, ze Roberto, effenberg, Ronaldo and batistuta are the starting list of Florence.
Look at the home team’s 5-0 defeat in the first leg, which puts Dortmund under great pressure. andreas moller has always been unhappy with the head coach, and he is trying to get rid of Scala in the team and let him be the boss of the team.
In this kind of pressure from all sides, the head coach Scala, who has been playing the role of the aggrieved little daughter-in-law, finally broke out with a direct call to cut the gordian knot and put andreas moller, a talented teenager, in the cold, to straighten the front waist of the team’s main force; Some players were selected from the youth training echelon and bench to replace the reimbursement of sammer and paulo sousa for the whole season, and finally their prestige was initially established in the team department.
Compared with last season, the luxury division Scala, who owned sammer, Riedel, Ann Mueller and Colell by Hitzfeld, built this Dortmund team, but it was this slightly civilian team that played a wonderful game in the second round against Florence!
Chapuisatelli’s quick running and accurate shooting led the home team to establish a two-goal lead at the end of the half-time in the tenth and thirty-sixth minutes. At the same time, when Florence launched a counterattack at half-time and Ronaldo and batistuta made the score 2-2, it was the Swiss star who stepped forward and assisted Ricken to score at the front of the penalty area.
I’m afraid Dortmund could have won a victory at the westfalen Stadium if filippo inzaghi hadn’t come off the bench to catch ze Roberto’s ball in injury time.
Finally, at the end of the game on the spot, the away game against Florence was once two goals behind, and the score was stubbornly tied to three to three, and the total score was better than three, and Dortmund, the runner-up of the Champions League, held his head high and advanced into the Champions League!
After returning to Florence from the Champions League, the players did not get much rest and rested in Florence for two days. After that, Capello and his players rushed to southern Italy to prepare for the 25th league match with Lecce Pepper.
Although Lecce’s poor performance in Serie A this season is currently ranked third from the bottom in the standings, only higher than Napoli and Empoli, which have been fighting for the bottom position, while Florence is the leader of the league. The disparity between the two sides makes the result of this game look really suspense.
However, the result of the game was that Florence, the leader, was stung by this hot pepper. As Florence returned to Italy a few days ago and played an extremely fierce game in Germany and Dortmund, the Florence players were not very excited about the away game on the afternoon of March 15 and were a little listless by the warm and humid climate in the Mediterranean.
Florence’s performance naturally made Lecce players see the hope of winning points at home.
When the game went to the tenth minute, Lecce midfielder Masperoli had a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt to help Pepper get a goal lead at home!
After being behind one, the Florence players finally came to their senses in the warm sunshine and remembered that they were still playing.
At the same time, Capello’s cold eyes made all the players in Florence unconsciously shudder-they knew that every time the head coach put on this expression, it meant that some of them were going to have bad luck; And if you look at the performance just over ten minutes, it is estimated that they will be in big trouble this time!
Recalling that Capello once brought them terror in Florence, these players don’t want to go through another high-intensity training package specially made by Capello and sports medicine experts from the Florence coaching staff physiotherapy center!
Therefore, the Fiorentina players launched a fierce counterattack in the following hours, pushing Lecce back to their own half and playing half-time offensive and defensive drills!
It seems that it is a problem for Florence to reverse the score, but sometimes it is really luck to score goals.
When you are lucky, scoring goals can be said to be easy to play; If there is bad luck, even if the players face the door, they may directly hit the plane.
The players in Florence were unlucky in this game, whether it was vieri’s header bombing or Costa Italy’s ball, or Davis and Carlos’ long-range shooting, there was no way to bomb Lecce goalkeeper Lauriere to guard the goal. Even Inzaghi grabbed some shots in front of the goal three meters in the 63rd minute, and they all hit the goal post strangely and popped the bottom line … Florence’s bad luck this afternoon can be seen.
Necapello has sent super substitute Julio Cruz to partner with vieri to form the twin towers of the front line, and Inzaghi will see if they can turn around this extremely unlucky situation for Florence.
Cruise didn’t live up to Capello’s expectations, or it can be said that Florence was lucky enough to maintain its normal level this afternoon. The Argentine center scored a header from Rui Costa’s corner in the 93rd minute, which turned the home team’s imminent three points into one point and saved Florence from a defeat at the last minute.
In the end, Florence scored a point in a 1-1 draw with Lecce at Delmare Stadium.
