"As I expected, Mourinho really wants to give us a kick down in this game, so that Fiorentina can have more of a psychological advantage at the start of the season." Looking at the Fiorentina players who were warming up on the pitch, Trapattoni's eyes narrowed, and he said thoughtfully, "Although the Italian Super Cup is not an important competition, if we lose this direct battle with Fiorentina without any temper, then the team will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage in this regard after the start of the new season." β
"In that case, Giovanni [Trapatoni], should we make the players play more defensively, so that Fiorentina don't take advantage of the counter-attack to score?" As Trapattoni's most effective assistant, Tardelli expressed his opinion at this time, "You know, Fiorentina's attacking trident is advancing very quickly in the counterattack, plus there is Pirlo in the midfield, a master who is good at grasping the holes in the opponent's defense, and Ballack's heavy artillery, if we don't strengthen our investment in the defensive end, I am worried that the lack of the back position will become a breakthrough for the Fiorentinas." β
"Well, take it easy, Marco (Tardelli)." Seeing that his former beloved apprentice and current assistant put on such a nervous look, Trapattoni waved his hand and signaled that Tardelli did not need to be so nervous, "You know, the club is now in talks with Arsenal about the transfer of Vieira, and judging from the current negotiation situation, we have a considerable hope of bringing the French iron to Vinovo." So, even if we end up losing this game, it doesn't mean that we will still be at a disadvantage against Fiorentina when the league starts. Once Patrick Vieira joins and fills up the last of our shortcomings in the squad, the Fiorentina will find it very difficult to reinvent the initiative as they are now. What's more, even now, I don't believe that Nedved will affect their performance in the league because of a mere defeat. β
"Haha, that's what I'm saying, because of a loss, you lose the confidence to win, that's not our Juventus style and character." Seemingly infected by Trapattoni's self-confidence, Tardelli also smiled and echoed at this time, "And, to be honest, Fiorentina will definitely have a lot more pressure than us in this game, because we still have hope to continue to strengthen, and they don't have this opportunity when the main squad has been decided." So, if they don't get a satisfactory result in this final, they will be even more terrified when we get Patrick Vieira. β
If Mourinho had heard Tardelli's remarks, the Portuguese would have scoffed at it: thinking that bringing in Patrick Vieira would solve all the problems? You guys might be a little naΓ―ve!
If nothing else, after moving Thuram to central defence, Juventus have not solved the problem of right wing-back until now, and Zebina's ups and downs have always left the Bianconeri side of the right side of the defence a huge problem. Although defending is not a one-man affair in Italy, and a good defensive system can largely compensate for the lack of individual ability, even so, a time bomb at the back like Zebina is best left unused when conditions allow.
After all, no one knows if this bomb will explode in the next moment, if it hurts the opponent, it's fine, but if it accidentally traps its own people at a critical moment, then Juventus will have to read the file again......
"In this game, I'm going to let Vincent and them test the quality of Juventus' defense on the right side. If Zebina is in average form, then we can make a big fuss about it. On the other hand, Mourinho was explaining his game strategy to Di Livio, "After all, in one-on-one, Zebina will never be able to prevent Vincent's breakthrough." In contrast, Grosso's side is much more troublesome, and now Cristiano (Cristiano Ronaldo) is not yet capable of penetrating Juventus' left flank. Therefore, the opening focus on Vincent's side is the best choice. β
Sure enough, after the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, Fiorentina, under the command of Andrea Pirlo, took the lead from the left and gave Vincent the opportunity to single out Zebina. Although the rest of Juventus' players wanted to go over to help Zebina, Zivo's insertion effectively kept Camoranesi at bay, while the presence of Ballack and Pirlo in the middle kept Emerson and Blasi from acting rashly - it would be really bad if Vincent had just left the defensive position and smashed the ball across to Pirlo or Ballack, who had already set up a gun mount.
Although Juventus can also switch positions to let Nedved defend in the middle, and one of Emerson and Blasi goes to the right to flank Vincent with Zebina, but in this way, Grosso on the left will have to face the combined impact of Zambrotta and Ronaldo, and Fiorentina can easily tear apart Juve's left defense with a wide transfer. After all, two fists are hard to beat four, and Grosso has not evolved to the level where he can defend against two first-class players, no matter how brave he is.
In contrast, having Zebina defend Vincent alone is Juventus' best option at the moment. After all, even if the Spaniard blows up Zebina on the flank, he will end up passing the ball to his teammate in the middle. In this way, as long as Juventus can defend the area in the box and at the edge of the box, then Vincent will not be able to beat Zebina into a sieve tonight.
With this mentality, in the face of the imposing Vincent, Zebina carefully controlled the distance from the opponent, and stuck the opponent's in-cut route, and his intention could not be more obvious: you can cross the bottom of the side as you like, but if you want to cut in, sorry, this way is not passable!
However, Vincent, who was hailed by the media as a left-sided celestial, could not be dealt with so easily. In the face of Zebina's defense, the Spaniard first kicked the ball to the right front, took advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's attention was attracted by the ball and suddenly accelerated, took a big circle from Zebina's right hand side and then got the ball he just kicked out, and the ball was divided!
Juventus' defensive strategy seems to have been cracked by Vincent, who was in great form from the very beginning of the game.
