"Okay, that's the starting line-up for both sides today, today we saw a special phenomenon, that is, Simeone didn't appear in the full-back position today, but in the midfielder position, it seems that Pioli wants to give Simeone more burden, we don't know what kind of performance Simeone will have in his new position? This is something to look forward to! Sky Sports commentator Montoli said immediately.
"Okay, the players from both sides are already on the pitch and the game is about to start." Sky Sports commentator Baroni said immediately.
At this time, he himself was also very excited, and he seemed to have a sense of impatience.
The referee who officiated the game, he looked down at the watch on his wrist, and then he looked up and blew the whistle in his mouth - beep!
Piatza in the center circle had a little football, Simeone kicked back the pass, and the game officially began.
The fans on both sides immediately burst into cheers, and this touching game finally began, very excited.
"Sky Sports! Sky Sports! The classic of the season is officially kicking off, starting with Fiorentina in their white jerseys and attacking from the right side of the curtain, while Napoli are attacking from the left side of the curtain in light blue jerseys. Sky Sports commentator Baroni said immediately.
It can be seen that Pioli put Simeone in the position of the forward midfielder today, not to let Simeone go up to organize the attack at all, but to wait for the counterattack at any time and use the speed to tear apart the Napoli defense.
Simeone, on the other hand, was a magic weapon for Pioli to win over Napoli.
Simeone's speed is indeed very fast, which is already famous, and some people even call Simeone the son of Argentina's new wind.
Simeone's speed is fast, and his foot technique and dribbling skills are very good, and if this guy rushes up in the counterattack, there are really few people who can stop him.
At this time, the head coach of the Napoli team, Carlo Ancelotti, was a little worried, worried about Simeone's counterattack.
But even so, Ancelotti will not change his attacking strategy, he will not be able to give up because of choking.
At the beginning of the game, Napoli were in control and started attacking.
Fiorentina retreated all over the line and set up a tight net at the edge of the penalty area, just to prevent Napoli from threatening their goal.
At the same time, the Fiorentinas are also looking for opportunities to break the ball and counter-attack, they don't just defend to get a draw, they come for a win, defense is only a means, not an end, and winning goals is the ultimate goal.
Fiorentina's players are very active defensively, moving fast, running aggressively, and maintaining a good position between the two sides, Napoli really struggled to penetrate the Fiorentina defence.
The players of the Napoli team almost pressed the whole team through the half, pressing near the Fiorentina team's penalty area, and the Napoli team used the pass, back and forth to reverse the ball, straight back and forth, to dispatch the Fiorentina team's defense, looking for space.
At this time, Napoli's style of play is really a bit like Barcelona's, passing and possession, and then suddenly a lethal pass, tearing apart the opponent's defense and scoring goals.
However, now the players of the Fiorentina team are very tightly defensive, and there is a big gap between the Napoli team and the Barcelona team playing this tactic, so the Napoli team has not yet found a vacancy.
Passing control is not good, that is to fight alone, use the player's personal ability to break through, as long as you break through a place, other players of the Fiorentina team have the opportunity to come up to make up for the defense, which can disrupt the defense of the Fiorentina team.
Jiang Chen took the ball with his back, and he suddenly passed the football horizontally to Alan on the side.
Jiang Chen is also difficult to turn around now, being pressed very close by the players of the Fiorentina team, Ugo is just following Jiang Chen, not giving Jiang Chen a chance to face the fans at all.
At this time, after Alan on the side took the football, he saw Jiang Chen's eyes.
Alan immediately blinked, dribbling the ball to the ribs of the Fiorentina team's penalty area, Alan chose to go it alone and wanted to break through.
Fiorentina full-back Milenkovic immediately cut in from the diagonal side to block Alan from breaking through with the ball.
Seeing Milenkovic pounce, Alain, who was carrying the ball, suddenly made a sharp stop, and then suddenly pulled the ball in the middle and dribbled the ball horizontally.
Fiorentina defender Gerson immediately pounced on the middle, and he wanted to go up with Milenkovic to defend Alain, trying to cut off the football at Alain's feet.
Gersson came up quickly and suddenly stabbed the ball at Alain's feet.
"Beautiful, Gerson came up very fast, he broke the ball!" Sky Sports commentator Baroni said immediately.
But after a while he shouted again: "Oh no, Napoli chance!" Football unexpectedly came to the feet of Mertens in the penalty area, chance! ”
The Napoli fans at the scene also burst into flames, staring at Mertens with their eyes blazing.
Seeing the football flying over, Jiang Chen directly volleyed, and the football shot quickly towards the goal of the Fiorentina team.
"Oops! Dangerous! Sky Sports commentator Montoli immediately roared, very nervous.
