Although Inzaghi did not blame Shevchenko for the reduction in playing time and goals, the sharp drop in playing time and the lack of goals made him feel unhappy at Fiorentina, and even approached Antonioni privately at one point, hoping that the club would let him leave this summer to play for a team that could give him a place in the main team.

Fortunately, Antonioni did not make a mistake at this time, thinking that Inzaghi was only a fourth striker in the team, and his state was not as good as before, so he agreed to the other party's request, but stabilized Inzaghi as quickly as possible, and then mobilized a force that could be mobilized to persuade him to change his mind - Antonioni, who was born as a player, knew the ability of Inzaghi, and he knew that such an extremely dangerous figure should never be given away lightly, otherwise, At that time, Inzaghi, as an opponent, will definitely make Fiorentina suffer a lot in the future!

Unlike his teammates such as Vieri and Shevchenko, Inzaghi does not have a strong body, nor does he have extraordinary speed, and has even been repeatedly ridiculed by the media for his lame dribbling, but he also has his own characteristics, that is, no matter what kind of defense he faces, no matter how tightly the opponent's defense is, this penalty area spirit fox can always find holes in the opponent's back line with his incredible sense of smell, and then send the ball into the goal with all the reasonable parts allowed by the rules of football!

So, don't look at Inzaghi's goal persistence, such as playing stealth all the game or not scoring in several consecutive games, these situations can happen to him, but it is undeniable that he is indeed the most vulnerable striker in the world! Once he finds his chance, then he will become a lingering nightmare for all opponents!

It is precisely for this reason that Antonioni is so retained by Inzaghi. If the person who sent the transfer request was replaced by Ljungberg or Gattuso, the Fiorentina general manager might have asked for it......

Fortunately, that time Inzaghi was just complaining about his reduced playing time this season, and did not really have any plans to leave Fiorentina. After all, having lived in Florence for so many years, Inzaghi has developed a deep affection for the city and the club, and he is not willing to leave the place where he became famous. So, under the persuasion of his friend Vieri, who rushed to hear the news, and after coach Heynckes made it clear that he would increase his playing time, Inzaghi, who thought he had achieved his goal, immediately retracted his initial application to leave, agreed to Antonioni's retention, and agreed to continue to play for Fiorentina.

Although the matter was not known to the outside world under the deliberate secrecy of Antonioni and others, Inzaghi knew in his heart that if he could not come up with a convincing enough statement in the next match, then he would pay the price for this move that was close to forcing the palace. After all, Heynckes is a good listener to his players, but he is not a soft-hearted coach, and if Inzaghi is not good, the Germans will definitely put him back on the bench.

Therefore, Inzaghi has been holding his breath in his heart lately, hoping to prove that Heynckes' decision to give him more playing time was the right choice! And today, Inzaghi finally proved his ability to Heynckes with a goal!

"I didn't expect Philip to be very good at anything else, and his sense of smell for goals is really not covered." Looking at Inzaghi, who was celebrating his goal on the sidelines, Heynckes said to Mourinho beside him with some surprise. He has never figured out what kind of environment can create such a wonderful striker as Inzaghi, "This kid is really a double-edged sword, if used well, the opponent can be uneasy, if it is not used well, we will fight with one less person without any difference." ”

"Haha, Joseph, you're right, Philip [Inzaghi] is a player with obvious strengths and weaknesses." Unlike Heynckes, Mourinho, who has worked longer at Fiorentina, clearly knows Inzaghi better, saying, "But it can't be denied that Philip's dedication to scoring goals and his focus on the game are superb, and he is a considerable addition to the squad. After all, such a point-grabbing master is not a cabbage that can be picked up casually. ”

"Well, that's right." Heynckes nodded and agreed with Mourinho's statement, "It seems that I am asking too much of Inzaghi, and I shouldn't ask him to do anything other than scoring, just let him concentrate on finding opportunities to score." ”

The change in the team's tactical position is another reason for Inzaghi's decline this season: Heynckes asked him to increase the pressing of the opposing backfielders, although it made Fiorentina's pressing more threatening, but also made Inzaghi unable to devote all his energy to attacking, which can be seen from Inzaghi's average offside per game this season compared to before.

At the same time, Eriksen sighed faintly, thinking that it was indeed Fiorentina, and even if Shevchenko and Inzaghi were sent incompatible, they would be able to score first: "Hey! Cheer up, guys! It's been less than five minutes, so hold the tempo, be patient, and we'll have plenty of time to get the score back! ”

Hearing Eriksen's shout, Veron nodded at the Swede and signaled that he would continue the game as he had arranged.

So, after the restart, Lazio steadied their rhythm under Veron's command. This time, though, they clearly learned their lesson, and in order to avoid being surrounded by their opponents again, Veron dropped back deeper to better meet his teammates.

With the Argentine wizard organised, it was only five minutes before Inzaghi's goal that Lazio had a good chance to attack: Kaladze went too far when defending Stankovic's breakthrough, accidentally brought down the Yugoslav midfielder in the process of pursuit, and at the same time received a yellow card, and gave the Blue Eagles a free kick in front.

As the set-piece was too far away to hit the goal, Veron opted to send the ball to the crowd in the middle of the Fiorentina penalty area in order to create enough threat, while praying in his heart that his team-mates would be able to pick up his ball.

Salas, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, watched the ball fly towards him, and hurriedly jumped up, intending to shake his head directly to attack the goal!

However, under the interference of Ferrara, although Salas managed to grab the ball, the ball was high and deflected, wasting a good opportunity to equalize.

In the eyes of the Lazio players, Salas's deflected header was nothing more than an ordinary attacking defeat that didn't need to be taken too seriously. However, what they didn't expect was that Fiorentina caught the problem of their untimely retreat at this time and launched a quick counterattack!
