Volume 1 Chapter 74 First Victory
Chen Yu's hat trick allowed Fiorentina to exceed the score again, but the 1-goal lead is not safe, learn the lesson of the previous two conceding goals, this time Cassinwa said that he didn't dare to be conservative anymore, he made a series of substitutions after Chen Yu's goal, striker Fandini came on the field to replace Ricano, who was not performing well today, and Mugnani came on to replace Longo. Strengthen the defense without cutting the offense.
The arrival of Vandini has brought some changes to Fiorentina's formation, as well as some changes in their tactical play.
After changing to 442, Fiorentina was in a parallel and diamond-shaped position, with Camorani positioned closer to the opposition penalty area and even slightly towards the middle. Di Liviop, on the other hand, is closer to the other two in midfield, while also doing some work to bridge the front and back.
At the same time, because the team has a pillar center like Rigano in the front line, Casingwa asked the players to pass the ball to the penalty area to find Rigano when Chen Yu has too good opportunities, and use the role of Ricano's center forward to impact the opponent's defense. Either go straight to the goal, or ferry to a nearby teammate. Even if you can't catch the ball, you can create quite a lot of confusion in the opponent's defense.
With Ricano's physical strength and personal ability, coupled with Chen Yu's strong scoring ability, Fiorentina's concise style of play was quite effective in the early time, although Rigano did not score, but the tactical role played was very significant, distracting Chen Yu a lot.
When Van Dini replaced Ricano, Fiorentina could no longer threaten the opposition goal in this way.
Chen Yuto is also a center forward, but not a pillar center like Ricano, and even if he can play some role as a column center forward. But hand-to-hand combat with the opponent's tall and strong defender in the penalty area, and then scramble for crosses and attack the goal, is obviously not what Chen Yu is best at.
Therefore, after Rigano went off the field, Cassinwa asked the team's attack to choose more ground coordination and directly hit the open space of the Piacenza defense, which is based on the fact that Chen Yu and Fandini both have a wide range of running and pulling ability and good ball sharing ability.
When Chen Yu, who scored three goals, was in the name of a center forward but shuttled back and forth throughout Piacenza's defensive zone, Piacenza coach Carney made a mistake.
Do you send someone to continue to keep an eye on Chen Yu, or do you leave him alone and let him run around and let the team members defend themselves according to their own positions? If he chooses to send someone to guard him, then with Chen Yu's strong ability to get rid of him, it is likely to play the player who defends him around, thus messing up his team's defensive formation. And it is very important that who should make up for the void left by the players who were taken away from their defensive positions by Chen Yu?
And choosing to defend the zone according to his own defensive position is not afraid of his formation being torn apart, and at the same time, he does not have to be afraid that the opponent's running position will take the defender away from his position, because when he leaves his defensive range, there are naturally others to continue to defend this person.
But the shortcomings are also obvious, because the person who executes the tactics is not a machine, and the cooperation between each other cannot be so precise and error-free, if Chen Yu suddenly starts to rush from one person's defense zone to another person's defense area, it will also disrupt the defensive formation, and the short time of that moment is not enough for the players to make a calm judgment. They will certainly handle such situations in a way that they are familiar with, and most of them will pounce directly on the person. In addition, if the changes are too fast and the players of your team do not react in a hurry, then it will be even more deadly.
Just when Carney was hesitating, Fandini on the field suddenly started to rush into the penalty area from the position of the arc of the big penalty area, and Camossini, who received Di Livio's pass on the side, did not dare not stick to the ball now, and swept the ball into the penalty area.
The cross was a low ball and it went straight past the defender's feet before creating a very small arc on the ground and ending up at the back post.
Fandini was spotted in the spot, and before he burst into the box, he noticed that the defenders' attention was drawn to his own attack, and he unconsciously turned his attention to the right. He immediately realised it was an opportunity to get forward, so he took advantage of the defender's lack of attention and burst into his defensive area, and his team-mate duly swept the ball in front of him.
Vantini lifted his foot to shoot, but the Piacenza full-back behind him rushed to Fantini's side in time to bump into him, causing Vantini to lose his center of gravity and not kick the ball hard, and the ball was confiscated by goalkeeper Guadalben.
Fantini, who had already fallen to the ground, saw the result and immediately protested to referee Corina for a foul, which should have been a penalty.
Piacenza's players kept making Fantini fake throws at Corina, and Toto, the full-back who had just bumped into Fantini, smiled and shook his fingers, indicating that his collision was definitely not a foul, but a reasonable collision.
At the same time, Fiorentina's players are also putting pressure on the referee, hoping that the referee can award a penalty to them, and Chen Yu and Di Livio are also negotiating with the referee, hoping that the referee can award a penalty.
Unfortunately, Collina ended up just hooking his hand at Fandini who had fallen in the penalty area, signaling him to hurry up and at the same time telling the players around him to disperse immediately, otherwise he would be shown a yellow card to give them some warning.
With all that done, he motioned to Piacenza's goalkeeper to kick the ball out so that the game could continue.
Seeing the result, Casingwa angrily waved his fist at Collina, and his unhappy expression showed that he was not very satisfied with the result.
"Sir, that No. 3 guard was definitely fouled just now, and he knocked me to the ground!" Fandini got up from the ground and came to the referee's side, still talking about the ball. He didn't expect the referee to change his decision, he just wanted to put a little pressure on the referee, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable if the opponent kept defending himself in this way and the referee didn't give a foul.
"No, no! Young man, I could see very clearly, he didn't raise his arms or shrug his shoulders, so it was a reasonable rush! After a brief explanation, Corina left Vandini behind and ran towards the ball.
In the ensuing game, Fiorentina did not invest much in the attack, and Chen Yu was also limited by the opponent's combination and transfer marking, and did not get a better chance to shoot.
Glancing at his watch, Kasinwa saw that 80 minutes had passed, 10 minutes to go before full-time, and about 13 minutes left including injury time. There are a lot of things that can happen in 13 minutes, and the best thing is to score another goal and dispel the opponent's delusions of equalising.
However, fortunately, Mugnani and Fandini, who were replaced after Casingwa, performed very well during this time, Mugnani did not make any mistakes, Fandini has run to the open space at least three times, but the ball was either intercepted or passed off the spot, and finally did not reach his feet, but this situation made Cassinwa relieved. He thought that as long as Vandini and Chen Yu received an opportunity, Piacenza could be completely killed.
In the blink of an eye, in the 85th minute of the game, Chen Yu, who received the ball on the left side, slowly moved forward with the ball, and he found that the opponent had stuck his breakthrough route, and if he insisted on breaking through with the ball, the only route he could choose was the side. However, it is difficult to pose a sufficient threat after doing so.
Pushing the ball sideways, it went directly past the rushing Crambo to the feet of Di Livio, who had already cut in to pick up, and Di Livio did not stop the ball and pushed it to Camorani in front of him.
Camorani keenly observed an open space in the penalty area, and at the same time he also noticed a purple figure running there at high speed in the corner of his vision, so he didn't even hesitate, after receiving the ball, he turned lightly, and then pushed the ball into the empty space.
Camorani, who turned around, saw clearly that the teammate was Chen Yu, and Chen Yu, who had just broken through the organization with the ball, appeared in time at this time!
Camorani rubbed his eyes and wondered if he was dazzled!
Goalkeeper Guadalben came out to block, Chen Yu seemed to have been prepared for his attack, and calmly shot a reverse corner, and the goalkeeper Guadalben, who chose to block the near corner, could not do anything about this shot, he could only watch the ball pass by himself and fly into the net
