Chapter 9: The Problem of Substitutions in Florence
Although the score in the first half was 2:1, Atalanta narrowed the gap to one goal with Inzaghi's goal, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Inzaghi's goal only accelerated Atalanta's death.
Fiorentina spent a record 77 per cent of the ball in the first half, which means that most of the time, the ball was controlled at the feet of the Fiorentina players, and Inzaghi's goal can only be described as luck.
That's the scariest thing about Fiorentina right now, a group of top stars with a luxurious squad firmly controlling the tempo of the game, taking the initiative on the pitch, and the opponent just wants to fight back - and that has to get the ball first......
But the fundamental reason why Fiorentina, who dominated overwhelmingly, scored only two goals was that the Purple Lily's players were purely enjoying the football in the first half – as evidenced by the two goals that resulted from a beautiful combination.
It was very easy for Fiorentina to win against Atalanta, so there was no need to pounce on them so as not to be hurt in such a fierce scramble as Serie A.
But Inzaghi's goal was a wake-up call for this group of loose guys - football is round, and Atalanta is not without chances!
Similarly, Fiorentina will definitely pounce in the second half, and at that time - so if you are an Atalanta fan, it is better to leave the game now......
What's even more pitiful is that the manager of Atalanta was also carried away by Inzaghi's goal, and even asked all the players to "attack!" when arranging tactics at halftime! Offensive! Attack again! ”
Well, it would be more appropriate to replace the word "offense" with "looking for death......
Sure enough, the second half opened two minutes, just two minutes!
Ling Feng used a long-distance run to get past five opposing players, including the goalkeeper, to bring the ball into Atalanta's goal......
The Atlanta fans who were shouting and chanting were like ducks stuck in their throats, especially the evil smile on Ling Feng's face and the casual action of the players around him just hugging and celebrating, which made the Atlanta fans feel devastated - people score goals if they want to, and they can't score goals on their side, so depressed!
Let's replay the goal just now, Rotra's long pass was intercepted by Vieira in the midfield, and Ling Feng played a Cruyff spin when he received the ball, easily flashed the defenders around him, and rushed towards the opponent's door with the ball.
Players who are familiar with Ling Feng know that once he starts at high speed in the midfield, it means that he is going to start his own performance!
The Atlanta defenders who have specialized in studying Ling Feng's characteristics naturally know, but now there are two top strikers standing in the penalty area - God knows if Ling Feng really chooses to pass?
As soon as the ball is within five meters of Barty and Baggio, these two guys are sure to hit the ball in - too strong!
It was in this kind of psychology that Atalanta's central defenders did not dare to give up the goals around them, giving Ling Feng a chance to take advantage of them - otherwise, if several players quickly blocked Ling Feng through tackles, it would not be so easy for him to break through in the small space in front of the penalty area.
Atalanta, who was bent on attacking, had not yet gained a firm foothold before Ling Feng came to dismount, and at this time, the players were wondering, should they continue to implement the head coach's offensive thinking, or honestly play a defensive counterattack in the back?
It's just that melancholy is melancholy, and the formation in which the players are standing is still a little pressed......
Carlos broke the ball at the back, and looking at the position of Batistuta in front of him was an accurate long pass!
Barty headed back a little and Rui Costa, who was on his heel, flicked the ball out of his instep and the ball was handed to Edfenberg's feet.
Effenberg usually looks like a no-brainer and doesn't do his job, but now he's one of the best midfielders in the world – if it weren't for the fact that this guy is too troublemaker, he might even be the second football emperor after Beckenbauer!
Germany's most creative midfielder in the 90s was not for nothing, with Effenberg getting his left foot around the ball and rubbing the tip of his right foot against the bottom of the ball.
Such a juggling move managed to move the opposing defenders' bodies to the right, and the ball passed through the open space and flew towards Robert Baggio in mid-air!
Robbie, who has never liked to pose POSE, faces the ball flying from behind, and his body soars in the air is a volley!
4:1! Robert Baggio scored twice!
This is undoubtedly a big stick for Atlanta - Ling Feng's smash just now made everyone dizzy, and Baggio came again very unkindly.
Completely devastated, the opponent scored two goals in the opening ten minutes of the second half, and everyone knows that the temper of the bastard boys in Fiorentina has risen!
It was only very soon, when Ling Feng scored another goal in the twentieth minute of the second half, Maradona replaced the guy who brought the nightmare to Atalanta, and he came off the bench with the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shepchenko.
For Atalanta fans, this should be good news, although Shepchenko has played well recently, but in terms of strength compared to Ling Feng, who has both offense and defense, it is still far behind, although Fiorentina now has one more striker, but the overall aggression is not necessarily greater than when Ling Feng was on the field.
Replacing Ling Feng is also his own meaning, after this game, he will fly back to China to participate in the first game of the top ten, the home game against Iran, at this time it is very important to preserve his strength.
And Maradona is also thinking that when the national team events are frequent this year, except for Effenberg, who is not as dead as the national team, and Shepchenko, who has no hope of reaching the finals, everyone else will have to return to China at different times to compete, and now Fiorentina's squad seems to be strong, but because the World Cup is approaching, the players are worried about injury, and the lineup of these twelve people is still far from enough, at least there must be a new set of lineup, which can replace their positions after the main players leave, and the World Cup qualifiers will be played. But the league can't be put down either.
This question naturally fell on Ling Feng. No way, who made this guy know so much about international players? Maybe he's going to dig up someone with great technology and potential somewhere – like Shepchenko.
Of course, when I said to Ling Feng, I didn't say this - "Fiorentina is your family now, naturally you have to worry more about the team's record, I think you are still a little tired, don't worry, the players are not too good, after all, it is impossible for several of us to leave at the same time, you find a few players to be substitutes, and play at a critical time." ”
Ling Feng now hates Maradona for doing this damn task for himself, and hates Serie A's foreign aid restriction system to death!
The new foreign transfer system that has just been enacted states that a team can only have five non-EU players and only three on the pitch at the same time.
The restrictions on non-EU players made it impossible for Ling Feng to bring a large number of people from China to Florence, otherwise with his personality of protecting his shortcomings, he would have brought Sun Jihai and others to Florence a long time ago.
The World Cup qualifiers in Asia, Europe and the Americas are not the same, so much so that some clubs refuse to allow players to return for their own results - but Ling Feng will not do this kind of thing, and in any case, the World Cup is still the most desirable place for players.
Except, of course, there's one guy – Effenberg.
Vogts's newly formed national team summoned him, but this guy just didn't go back, and Beckenbauer didn't give him face - the harmful Beckenbauer called Ling Feng for help, hoping that Ling Feng could persuade this stubborn guy to go back.
The answer Ling Feng gave was only as much as possible, after all, he was not sure that Effenberg would be able to handle it.
Think about it, if Eeffenberg can return to the German national team and successfully integrate with the players in the team, then the attack power of Germany's aging chariot will be raised to a new level, and it may not be slaughtered 3:0 by the opponent when it meets Croatia.
After all, Ballack and Deisler are still young, and Vogts may be forced by the pressure of the media and Bayern to recruit two people into the team, but the old man's conservative style may not dare to use such a newcomer at a critical moment - even a golden head like Bierhoff only became famous at the age of 28, and it has to be said that it is Vogts's reason.
The only thing to be thankful for is that when the European qualifiers start, the leagues of each country will make concessions for the national team, and when the American League starts, Shepchenko can replace Batistuta's position, and at this time, as long as a few people are found to replace Carlos and himself, then Fiorentina's strength will not be compromised - well, Nesta, this guy also needs to find a replacement, after all, he is notoriously injured as soon as he arrives at the tournament.
The only thing Ling Feng can think of as an excellent left-back from the EU is Maldini - just not to mention whether AC Milan is willing to sell or Maldini himself is willing to do so - if Maldini is taken away from the Rossoneri, it will be an insult to this great player who has dedicated his life to the San Siro since Baresi.
In the selection of the club's top ten loyalists, Maldini and Baresi are undoubtedly on the list, because they have dedicated their lives to AC Milan, which is the most envied and admired by Ling Feng, a "traitor".
Ling Feng's pursuit made it impossible for him to stay in a team forever, so he admired these loyal ministers on the football field from the bottom of his heart.
But then again, it's almost time to play AC Milan, and luckily, we can make it in time for the last meeting with Baresi before retiring.
Well, of course, Italy is said to have a great left-back, who represents Italy's glorious tradition, the guy who was possessed by the souls of Facchetti, Cabrini, Maldini - Grosso, but now he is still playing in an amateur team that doesn't know what the name is - uh, just looking for him to replace Carlos, I don't know if this 20-year-old guy has the strength......
It's a real headache! Ling Feng shook his head and stopped thinking about it, anyway, if Carlos was leaving, it would only be a few rounds, and now Fiorentina really didn't worry about which one would not be able to play, because the rest of the players would be able to win the game.
At this time, the score on the field had become 6:1, and the substitute Shepchenko scored his first goal in Serie A, which completely pushed Atalanta into the abyss.
With less than fifteen minutes remaining, Fiorentina still dominated the pitch, and by this time Maradona had replaced Baggio and Effenberg with two substitutes – already five goals ahead, and it was time to give the substitutes a chance to go shopping.
These players are all old Fiorentina courtiers, and although they know that they can't play the main team, they haven't left - or rather, they can't find a place to go......
Italy's local players Keis and Bischca, whose strength is much worse than that of many big names, but now Fiorentina basically has no substitutes available, which has to be said to be the biggest weakness of the purple lily.
Well, if a large number of future world superstars are brought in as substitutes, Ling Feng really can't do it.
With a five-goal lead over the opponent, the Fiorentina guys were really careless, but they didn't think about it, Ling Feng, Effenberg and Baggio were not on the field, and they were still attacking like that, but the threat to Atalanta was greatly reduced.
Finally, 40 minutes into the second half, the gap left by Robert Carlos' forward assist was seized by Atalanta, and Inzaghi quickly started to get rid of the unprepared Nesta and burst into the box - was tackled by the impatient Cannavaro, who received a yellow card and gave Atalanta a penalty kick.
Inzaghi struck to cut the deficit down to four goals, but it was still unable to stop Fiorentina's victory, and with the referee's whistle, the game ended with Fiorentina winning two in a row in the league and sitting at the top of the Serie A table on goal difference.
And after the game, Ling Feng also quietly took the flight back to China, on September 13th, Dalian Jinzhou, Ling Feng wanted to return the arrogant four fingers drawn by the Iranians "back then" again!
