Because Mourinho and Roberto Mancini attach great importance to the direct confrontation between the two teams, and because the two sides have just played 180 minutes in the Champions League not long ago, they are quite familiar with each other's tactical play, so the two managers have done a very good job of preparing before the game, and they are eager to make every possible change of the opponent's move to make their players remember it.
The result of Mourinho and Mancini is that Nesta and others have been dreaming about this game for a week, and even the likes of Inzaghi, Carlos and Ronaldinho don't have the energy to go to their favorite nightclubs.
Despite the misinterpretation of the coach's approach, neither Fiorentina nor Lazio's players chose to contradict their manager at this time. Because they know very well in their hearts that this kind of hard time will continue until today at most, and everything will return to the same when this game is over.
It is precisely because of such sufficient pre-match preparation, so after the referee in charge of officiating the game, Corina, blew the opening whistle, the players of both sides did not make any moves to test each other's details, and invariably opened up on the pitch, and a fierce confrontation began from the first minute of the game!
At this time, it can be seen that the Italian Football Association's crackdown on malicious fouls in the game this year has been very effective. Although the players fought fiercely on the field, almost to the extent that every ball must be contested, and occasionally there were scenes where players from both sides were too involved in the scramble and people turned on their backs, but no player made malicious actions that hurt others or endangered the personal safety of the opposing players. So, while the players on both sides looked fierce when they were fighting, overall, the game remained within the limits of the rules.
The trio of Deco, Davies and Stankovic could not dominate the Fiorentina midfield led by Andrea Pirlo, Ballack and Claude Makelle, but defensively Fiorentina struggled to get past Lazio's midfield defence. Especially with an alternative center forward like Drogba on the field, Lazio's defensive intensity in the central midfield is undoubtedly stronger than Fiorentina's.
Fiorentina, by contrast, were a bit weaker in this regard, with Diego Milito and Vincent at best dropping back to help their team-mates. If they are allowed to run all over the pitch like Drogba, or even retreat to the edge of their own penalty area to participate in the defense, then the end result is likely to be that Milito, who is overused in defence, will not have the energy to devote themselves to attacking.
The fierce confrontation between the players of both sides in midfield led to a rather embarrassing result on the pitch - with both teams struggling to get the ball safely through midfield, the game was intense, but the players on both sides did not have many shots on goal. Whether it's Fiorentina or Lazio, it's difficult for either side to penetrate the opponent's defence directly with a frontal attack.
"I didn't expect that guy Mancini to work so hard for this game, didn't he think that Lazio would have a Champions League final to play in four days?" Mourinho was a little surprised to see Andrea Pirlo's through ball to Vincent broken by Davies, but he didn't expect Mancini to send all his players in this game despite the Champions League final four days later.
Although Davis successfully intercepted another attack from Fiorentina and planned to take advantage of the fact that the Purple Lily had not yet completed the transition between attack and defense to make a quick counterattack, it was a pity that Lazio's counterattack also failed to work - just as Davies made the steal, Ballack and Vincent, who were closest to the Dutch boars, quickly pressed towards his position at the first time!
So, when Davies got the ball under control, the Dutchman was stunned to find that he had been sandwiched between Vincent and Ballack, and there was no space to pass the ball!
In desperation, Davis had to try to break through with the ball himself. However, at the age of thirty-two, he is no longer the super midfielder who had a domineering breakthrough to the point where he couldn't solve it, and his age inevitably led to a decline in his physical fitness, so that Davis was poked off the ball by Vincent behind him as soon as he took a step, and was completed by the opponent with a wonderful on-the-spot counter-robbery!
As Fiorentina's midfield duo of the game, Andrea Pirlo and Ballack are well aware that there are only two paths they can take to score in this situation. The first is to seize the opportunity of being tackled by your own players or successfully counter-robbing on the spot when the Blue Eagles attack, and take advantage of the opportunity that the opponent has not completed the offensive and defensive transition to launch a surprise attack; The second is to create as many set-piece opportunities as possible and threaten Lazio's goal with free-kicks and corners.
Therefore, after getting the ball that Vincent poked, Ballack did not hesitate at all and immediately rushed towards the direction of the Lazio goal!
Noticing Ballack's action, Vincent was the first to cut forward along the left, while Milito in the middle ran to the right front. In this way, they pinned down the Lazio defense and prevented them from achieving the encirclement of the Germans!
However, despite Davis's midfield barrier being breached and his teammates helping to attract defensive fire, Ballack's advance was hampered - Drogba, the center forward, actually rushed back faster than Stankovic and Deco, and tangled with Ballack in front of the penalty area!
In the face of Drogba's defense, Ballack did not choose to fight hard with the Ivorians, but first made a feint to break through the bottom line, attracting the opponent to move the center of gravity, then dialing the ball and changing direction, rushing past Drogba's left hand side!
Although the defensive attitude is very positive, Drogba is only a temporary cameo in this role after all, many defensive actions are not standardized, and some habits need to be corrected urgently. Therefore, after discovering that Barak's feint was hit, the Ivorian, who had lost his center of gravity, subconsciously stretched out his hand and directly pulled the other party to the ground!
"Di-" Just as Barak fell to the ground, Corina's whistle sounded just in time. The golden whistle rushed to the scene as soon as possible and decisively awarded Fiorentina a free kick 25 meters from Lazio's goal in an excellent position!
After nearly half an hour of fierce confrontation, Fiorentina, who had only four shots on goal and no shot on target, finally got a chance to rewrite the score!
