Florence, Italy.

Frankie Field!

The game hadn't started yet, and the stands were already full.

Although the Europa League is not as popular as the Champions League, it is also an extremely important European competition, which is also a high-level competition among the leagues.

In this kind of competition, it is not only about winning or losing the respective teams, but also about the dignity of the region they represent!

Therefore, this is also the reason for the popularity of European competitions.

It can be said that at this time, the whole of England is supporting Tottenham, and they share the same hatred, except for some sworn enemy fans, of course.

The two-ball players are warming up on the field.

Fiorentina are in the left half and Tottenham are in the right, and the two sides are clearly divided.

Yi Le and Elkeson are connecting to pass the ball, and the two are standing on the left and right sidelines, practicing passing and stopping the ball.

Both of them belong to the type with a delicate sense of ball, and the football is as well-behaved as obedient children at the feet of the two.

Even the action of unloading the ball is extremely chic.

Ten minutes later, players from both sides returned to the dressing room to prepare for the final adjustments.

Fiorentina are serious about this game, although they have shown a 'heart' attitude before that.

But when it comes to the game, they don't slack off.

In this game, Fiorentina sent the full main lineup.

Fiorentina (3-5-2).

Forwards: Kalinic, Zarate.

Midfielders: Bernardeschi, Vecino, Ilicic, Borja. Valero, Pascual.

Defenders: Astori, Roncaglia, Gonzalo.

Goalkeeper: Tata Lusanou.

In this lineup, Kalinic is undoubtedly the sharpest attacking point, and Kalinic has shown unexpected value for money when he just joined this season, scoring 12 goals in just half a season, and scoring a hat-trick against Inter Milan in the sixth round of Serie A. The Croatian striker proved his value for money with his performances!

Of course, he also had a tough task in this game, as he had to carry the attacking responsibility of Fiorentina and it was when the midfield was suppressed.

As we all know, Tottenham's strong roots are their midfield, the ultra-efficient Chinese who seem to be a perpetual motion machine.

Faced with such a dominant midfield lineup in the Premier League, Fiorentina did not choose to fight bayonets, but symbolically retreated the midfield.

We can't get you in the midfield, so we'll play defensive counterattacks!

If you want to say 'defensive counter-attack', this is the best job of the Italian league.

Of course, the premise is that they need to withstand the attacking pressure from Tottenham, you must know that many teams just can't withstand Tottenham's crazy attacking rhythm, and the midfield is broken before they begin to be bullied by Tottenham.

But Fiorentina manager Montella is confident that they can withstand Tottenham's attack.

Just when Fiorentina coach Montella swore his word, he saw Tottenham's starting line-up and was stupid.

Tottenham Hotspur (4-5-1).

Forward: Fernando. Torres.

Midfielders: Elkeson, Dele. Ali, Yile, Eric. Dale, Thomas. Carol.

Defender: Ben. Davis, Aldved, Trippier, Kevin. Vermer.

Goalkeeper: Lloris.

......

Fiorentina manager Montella couldn't believe that Tottenham had abandoned their proud 'front trident' in this game.

The Premier League's top scorer, Harry. Both Kane and Son Heung-min were pressed to the bench.

Instead, it's the new signing Fernando. Fernando Torres started the game.

Five years ago, the name Torres had the power of a nuclear bomb, but in the past five years, this guy has become a stuffy bomb.

From T9 to Tito, can this terrible old guy really hold up Tottenham's attack?

What about funny?

Montella was frustrated, thinking that Tottenham would come up and give themselves a chance to attack the Fiorentina backline with their sharpest line-up.

But what's going on now?

Without the second of the front three, what do Tottenham want to do?

Ten minutes later, Montella understood, his expression was as constipated as he was...

Tottenham controlled the ball in the midfield, constantly pulling Fiorentina's formation, and they were not in a hurry to attack, and kept making feints near the center circle, making Fiorentina's backline uncomfortable.

You say, they pounce on it, and the other side is likely to play a long pass and hang it.

But keep consuming, and the ball won't be kicked.

For exactly ten minutes, the Fiorentina players hadn't touched the ball since kick-off!

What's the hair!!!

In this managerial tactical battle, Boas defeated Montella!

......

The Argentine Salat was very uncomfortable, he pressed aggressively up front, and his main target was naturally the Chinese.

But the No. 21 player doesn't seem to be birding himself at all, as long as he sticks to it, he will immediately pass the ball.

This is not the first time that the Tottenham midfielders have relied on their high mobility and individual ability to constantly reverse the ball, turning Zarate and Kalinic like monkeys.

And their midfield, under the manager's tactical arrangement, did not dare to press forward, which made the two strikers can only blindly chase the football, but they did not even touch once.

In the process of falling back again and again, the mentality of the Fiorentina players became more and more eager.

And the head coach on the sidelines, Montella, also found out.

He understands that this result is a matter of his own tactical arrangement, and if he continues to play like this, Fiorentina will definitely be dragged down by Tottenham, and then rely on the rhythm change that the opponent is good at to form an advantage.

Giving Tottenham's midfield the initiative is a situation that no one at Fiorentina wants.

If there's a problem, solve it!

Montella glared fiercely at Boas, who was crouching on the sidelines, and then made a makeshift gesture toward the court.

It was a gesture that lit up the eyes of the Fiorentina players, who were already filled with anger and needed to vent.

The entire Fiorentina backline began to slowly press forward!

Near the middle circle, Yi Le saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a smile.

I finally can't help it!

Football in Eric. At Dale's feet, Yile turned around and made a passing gesture.

Eric. Dale didn't hesitate, he sent the ball over.

And in this process, the Argentine Zarate, who defended Yile, hesitated and still posted it, but he said disapprerovingly in his heart: Anyway, he will pass back!

Zarate's defence was not resolute, while Fiorentina's backline had pressed forward from the penalty area.

Yi Le felt that someone behind him was holding up to him, he carried the other party with his body, looked at the oncoming football, stretched out his foot and gently dragged it with the outside instep.

The ball slipped to the right.

Yile, on the other hand, turned around and wiped it from the left.

The ball was so neat and deceptive that even the Florentine commentator couldn't help but shout: "Beautiful ball!" ”

Salat didn't react until Yi Le turned around and wiped it, his whole face turned red, and he paid for his carelessness.

After realizing it, he immediately turned around and chased back.

But what he saw was that Yi Le had already caught up with the ball and bent his bow and arrows!

Bang!!!!

The ball flew towards the defense line of the large penalty area.

It's about giving accurate long passes.

And the landing point was an open space on the left side of the Fiorentina backline.

It all happened in the midst of the lightning, when everyone on the scene looked over.

As far as the eye can see, there is a speeding figure.

White jersey and short blonde hair!

And that classic back number — 9 !!

Torres was fast, and he carried the pressure of the opposition centre-back, indifferent and ran wildly.

The two kept colliding along the way, making a thumping thump sound, but neither side had any intention of getting out of the way.

Racing all the way into the big penalty area, Torres relied on his good landing judgment and jumped first.

He stretched his arms as far as he could, and rose into the air.

In the end, he faced the football, shook his head fiercely with his waist and abdomen.

Give me !!!!!!!! ——

A lion shake on the head!

The ball pierced the goalkeeper's fingers like a cannonball, smashed on the ground and bounced into the net.

Torres looked extremely excited after the goal, and he ran all the way to the corner and yelled at the camera:

......

And in the live broadcast of England TV, Tottenham Hotspur commentator Lawrence also cheered passionately:

"In the first 15 minutes of the first half, Tottenham took the lead and broke the balance and we led Fiorentina 1-0!"

"It reminds me of the bomber that flew over Anfield! But now he belongs to Tottenham! The topic of 'activating Torres', which once plagued the Premier League, has finally been brought to rest! At Tottenham, Torres ushered in a second career peak! ”

"At the same time, we can't forget about Yi, the heart of our midfield!"

"He played an absolutely important role in this attack!"

"Yi Kan broke Fiorentina's intention to press, with this change of pace, he started quickly in the center circle, instantly completed the process of splitting the ball and accurate long passes, and accurately sent the ball to the left side!"

"That's the heart of our midfield!"

"Don't give him a chance! Because he'll take everything and turn it into a goal! ”
