In the past two months, Fiorentina has changed completely differently from the Cassinwa era in terms of staffing and playing style, and the main lineup of the Cassinwa era is only goalkeeper Sejavi, defenders Viari and Maggio, forwards Chen Yu and Ricano, and the rest of the players are either substitutes or completely faded out of the first lineup.

Fiorentina's captain Di Livio is mainly too old, and after the injury, the form has not returned to his original state, and after more powerful players join the league, he can only play as a substitute to play the remaining heat.

Goofy, Bagis, Camorani, Longo and others are not able to gain a foothold in Jīlie's competition because of their slightly inferior ability, so they can only sit on the bench and wait for opportunities, there are 24 teams in Serie B this season, the schedule is very intensive, and they are not without the opportunity to play, as for whether they can return to the main position, it takes a lot of luck factors, such as the poor state of the main team, injuries, red and yellow card suspensions, otherwise, they can only stay on the bench until the end of the season.

After Mondonico took office, he once wanted to give up Chen Yu to re-establish the core of the team to distinguish him from his previous appointment, but it turned out that he couldn't play without Chen Yu, and he could only continue to build this team with Chen Yu as the core.

Now Fiorentina's regular formation is 442, Chen Yu and Rigano are paired with two strikers, Frizas has been completely reduced to a substitute, and his bet with Rigano during the winter break has become a joke.

When encountering weaker opponents, or when the team is behind and needs to score, Fiorentina will also play 433, Rigano will play center, Chen Yu and Grafiedi will be separated on both sides, plus the assistance of fullbacks, Fiorentina's attack will be much stronger than the mediocre 442 formation.

Against Palermo, Mondonico was prepared to play in a 442 formation, and the only question that now bothers Mondonico is whether to put one defender in midfield or two.

After Manfredini Jr. was transformed into a midfielder, Fiorentina finally had a solid defense and played an important role in the transition between attack and defense, and the original work of defense and attack and defense conversion was done by Goofy and Fontana, and now Manfredini Jr. has liberated Fontana and allowed him to let go of the attack.

In the face of those teams that are not strong, or the strength is similar to Fiorentina, there is no problem with the single back play, even if there is a little mistake, with Fiorentina's excellent attacking power in the front, Fiorentina has won more than lost.

However, against a strong attacking team like the leader Palermo, Mondonico is worried that a midfielder will not be able to stop the opponent's attack. Because if nothing else, Palermo should still be in a 451 formation, with five players in the midfield, and Fiorentina only four players, in comparison, Fiorentina is playing more with less.

Since Tuesday, Mondonico has been debugging the formation, Fiorentina has a veteran like Collini, a center forward like Toni, it is easy to conduct simulation drills, but the effect of the drills is not good, the substitute lineup played by Fontana and Frizas is definitely not as good as the combination of Collini and Toni in Palermo, but it has created a lot of trouble for the main lineup, replaced by Toni, who is 1.96 meters tall, and Collini, who is more powerful than Fontana and Di Livio, Fiorentina really played Palermo with such a lineup, and the final result was unpredictable.

On Thursday, Mondonico, who had not been able to come up with a good solution, convened a team meeting attended by vice-president Chen Yu and captain Di Livio to discuss how to deal with Palermo.

"The game against Palermo is coming up soon, so let us know what you think, it's our strongest opponent this season, and we have to work together to win this strong opponent."

Mondonico said mildly.

There was silence in the conference room, and although everyone had thought about how the game should be played, no one was in a hurry to speak now.

After a while, captain Di Livio saw that everyone's eyes were staring at him intentionally or unintentionally, and he took the initiative to stand up, "Cough, let me say a few words, I think that the effect of our current drill is average, our defenders can prevent Frizas, not necessarily Lucatoni, can block me and Fontana may not be able to block Collini, the slight gap between the players is not small, if we want to win, in addition to limiting the opponent, we must also play our own attack well, and overwhelm the opponent from the momentum." ”

Captain Di Livio's words aroused the approval of the goalkeeper coach, "I think Captain Angelo is right, you can't just limit the opponent, you have to play your own characteristics, you can't limit for the sake of limiting. ”

Assistant coach Daniel is still sitting in his current position after two coaching changes, and he naturally knows what the reason is, "so he spoke very calmly and tried his best to take care of all aspects of the mood.

"I think the coach's training is very targeted, although the players we simulate cannot be compared with the real players, but our style of play is very close to Palermo, through this kind of simulation training, really play, our players are not very unfamiliar, just now Captain Angelo is right, we also have to play our own characteristics, not just to limit the characteristics of the opponent. However, I don't think there is a contradiction between the two, and limiting the characteristics of the opponent and playing your own characteristics is two sides of the same coin. ”

Coach Mondonico was clearly not very happy with what the three assistants had said, and he thought that what he needed now was a little new, an idea that would help him get out of his mental predicament. Seeing that Chen Yu hadn't spoken, Mondonico said, "Chen, what are you thinking, tell me in front of everyone." “

Chen Yu hurriedly said: "I didn't think about anything, I was just thinking about what everyone just said, I think everyone is thinking about it very carefully, but I think that Tony must be difficult to prevent, his headers and shots are very good, as long as the support of the midfield is in place, his power is not that the defender can easily resist, but just "me-oriented" to play, the final outcome is difficult to predict, we want to win at home, in the case of not being able to guarantee Tony, I think it's important to cut off the link between Toney and his team-mates, so that he can't get the ball and can't get the pass in a good position. “

Coach Mondonico smiled: "You said very well, but it is difficult for us to cut off the connection between Toni and his teammates, not to mention that the opponent may be five midfielders, even if they are long balls and rushes we can't do it,"

Chen Yu continued: "Yes, we can't completely cut off the connection between him and his teammates, but I also watched the game and think that Toney has the closest connection with Corini and Filippi, and they are also the two midfielders with the most goals in Palermo. ”

Mondonico's eyes lit up, and then dimmed, and sighed: "Chen, your idea is good, but if you look at our midfield, the strongest defensive ability is Manfredini Jr., the others, Fontana is not young, even if he is young, he is not good at defense, Savini, he is a fast knife on the side, the others, whether it is Leon, Pianguirelly, or Camorani, do not have much defensive ability, how can it be possible to cut off the connection between the opponent's midfield and the striker."

Chen Yu smiled and said: "Actually, we still have players available, although I am friends with Gao Fei, but in this game, I still have to recommend him, if Gao Fei is used to mark Collini, cut off the connection between Collini and Tony, Collini and the defender, then our chances of winning are at least thirty percent higher, if we can prevent Filippi from death, our chances of winning will be even greater." ”

Goofy?!

The coach and captain Di Livio in the conference room looked at Chen Yu in surprise, to be honest, they really forgot about the Chinese who was sitting on the bench, so they didn't consider the existence of Gao Fei when they considered the style of play.

Mondonico said: "Goofy doesn't know if there is any hope for Collini to be defended, that was the core of Chievo back then, if we can't prevent it, we will waste another player."

Chen Yu said: "I come to train with Gao Fei every day, and he has been practicing for a long time, and he has not given up training because of the opportunity to play. His physical fitness is also very good, it's no problem to run with Collini for 90 minutes, I don't dare to say that Goofy will definitely be able to guard against Collini, but as long as he can limit more than half of Collini's power, we will be a good deal, after all, Goofy is just a substitute. Collini is the heart of the midfield, and without him, Palermo's midfield would not work. ”

Mondonico smiled, "You're right, a sixty percent Collini is also stronger than Gao, as long as Gao Fei can restrain Collini, we will be cost-effective, and Gao Fei is a surprise soldier, we can win by surprise, Chen, if you don't remind you, I will forget about Gao, let's explore the feasibility and possibility of Gao Fei staring at Collini." ”

After some serious and fierce discussion, Mondonico finally made up his mind to let Gao Fei start, entangle Collini, and let Manfredini Jr. serve as another midfielder to block the opponent's attack, so that although Fiorentina has two defenders in the midfield, but there are Chen Yu and Rigano on the forward line, there is no need to worry that the attack is not threatening.

Chen Yu came home after the meeting, and did not tell Gao Fei the results of today's meeting, although Gao Fei tried his best to inquire, but Chen Yu just didn't say, and Gao Fei said: "If you don't say it, I won't accompany you to practice tomorrow, I'll drive, and I won't have a chance to play anyway." ”

When Chen Yu heard this, he was happy and said: "Okay, it's better if you don't go, it is said that someone has a chance to start, if the head coach sees someone slacking off again, it is estimated that this starting opportunity will be lost again." ”

"What do you say? A chance to start? Are you sure? Gao Fei eagerly grabbed Chen Yu's arm.

Chen Yu smiled: "Where do I know the truth of the Dao, but I heard, do you know the Dao?" ”

Gao Fei looked at Chen Yu's expression, and didn't know whether it was true or false, so he had to say stupidly: "Okay, I'll train with you tomorrow, if you can't start, I'll kill you." ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "I helped someone speak, and someone will take revenge, and I will never do this stupid thing next time." ”

Gao Fei immediately understood, and hurriedly apologized: "Okay, I apologize." ”

Chen Yu shook his head again and again, "Empty words, what's the use." ”

Gao Fei cried and said, "Okay, I washed the dishes, I brushed the pots, and I mopped the floor." ”
