PS1: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, free books don't need to spend money, and it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~

PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

"I really didn't expect that the addition of these two players would actually improve Juventus's strength so much......" Looking at Nedved and Camoranesi, who were running all over the field and not showing any fatigue, Antonioni, who accompanied Zhuang Mingge to the Alp Stadium to watch the game, couldn't help but sigh, "If we can win Nedved in the summer,"

'You're right, Nedved is a very good player. Zhuang Mingge nodded and agreed with Antonioni's statement, "But I think if we bring him from Sampdoria in the summer, then the team's midfield will become too crowded...... Can you think about it, with four players – Ballack, Albertini, Andrea Pirlo and Deco – can we still give Nedved enough playing time? ”

"Haha, boss, of course I know that." Antonioni laughed and said, "You know, I just said it so casually, I can't take it seriously. However, then again, a team core like Nedved who doesn't have a star and is willing to do the dirty work is too rare. If we can bring him to Fiorentina as well, then the defensive hardness of the team in midfield is expected to be improved by another notch. ”

"Alas, Gianna Carlo, defense is indeed a point that cannot be ignored, but the game is not won by defense alone, and the attack is also a very important part." Zhuang Mingge understands in his heart that Antonioni, who is the main member of the 82 World Cup winning team, attaches great importance to defense, "Nedved and Ballack plus Makelle's midfield configuration is indeed very strong in defense, but the creativity of this combination on the offensive end is too lacking, and the team that is not as good as us can still be crushed with strength, but if it is replaced by those teams that can compete with our midfield, the shortcomings of lack of creativity will be infinitely magnified, It's not that easy to win games. ”

The extreme emphasis on defence, even to the point of neglecting attack, was a common problem of the group of disciples brought out by Bealzot after becoming head coaches - from Tardelli to Gentille to the famous Dino Zoff, these famous generals who had achieved great success in their playing days did not do a good job as head coaches, and many became synonymous with conservatism.

Take the just-concluded South Korea-Japan World Cup as an example, the Italian national team with a cloud of famous players can only rely on Vieri to capture the flag in front of the World Cup, and others such as Totti, Inzaghi, Montella, etc. have all fallen into a goal drought, which cannot but make people doubt Zoff's coaching ability.

Antonioni can also be considered one of them, he tends to be conservative in the management of the club, and is reluctant to update the squad when the situation is good. This is also one of the important reasons why Fiorentina, with a lot of money, has always done nothing in the transfer market during the period when Zhuang Mingge retired from the background. After all, with a general manager as Antonioni as high-profile but always hesitant on transfer issues, it's no wonder Fiorentina missed the best opportunity to make a move.

While Zhuang Mingge and Antonioni exchanged views on players such as Nedved, Juventus took advantage of Fiorentina's blocked attack to launch a wave of counter-attacks. Andrea Pirlo's through ball was cut off by Davies, and the Dutch boar immediately distributed the ball to Grosso, who cut in on the left, who drove the ball all the way into the Fiorentina half, and crossed before Zambrotta rushed up to force himself!

Grosso's cross landed very precisely, the ball just escaped Nesta's interception and smashed on Trezeguet's head, but the French striker's header was blocked by Lucio, and the ball was headed directly into the box by the latter, unable to pose any threat to Buffon, who was guarding in front of goal.

Although they failed to score a goal, the Juventus fans in the stands gave Grosso a round of applause, and the homegrown left-back, who was the same age as Zambrotta, made them feel like they were in the shadow of Cabrini.

By the way, the reason why Grosso was able to get the call of the giants many years earlier than in his previous life and sit in the main position at Juventus is mainly because in this life he has a much better starting point and experience in his career than in the same period in history. During his years at Vicenza, Grosso was trained at a high level and trained by manager Guidolin, who quickly developed Grosso into an excellent left-back. According to the evaluation given by professional sports media such as "Milan Sports Newspaper" and "Kicker", now that Maldini has withdrawn from the Italian national team, Grosso can already be compared with Koko, who is known as "Maldini's successor", in terms of ability, and compete for the main position of the left back of the national team.

Of course, if you consider that Koko has always been plagued by injuries from time to time in recent years, which has affected his competitive state, Grosso still has a certain advantage in the competition for the main position.

In the coming days, Grosso's performance remained solid. Facing Zambrotta, who is the same age as himself but far surpasses his predecessors in terms of game experience and fame, Grosso's performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is perfect, he did not make any fatal mistakes in defense, and he is also quite skilled in the choice of assist timing and cooperation with teammates, creating a lot of problems for Fiorentina's right side defense.

"Grosso in this world is much better than the one in his previous life, and it is a real surprise that he can not fall behind in a one-on-one battle with Zambrotta." Seeing that Grosso successfully took over the main position left by Pesoto after aging, Zhuang Mingge breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "It seems that even if Zambrotta is fixed in the position of right wingback, Italy will not be unavailable in the position of left back." ”

However, although Grosso performed extremely well in this strong conversation, fiercely brushing his presence in front of people, it was not Juventus who had the advantage of home to score first: in the 29th minute of the game, Tacinadi's pass to Camoranesi was intercepted by Ballack and passed to Pirlo, who seized the opportunity of Juventus's unfinished offensive and defensive transition to break through the midfield defense composed of Tacinadi and Davies, and immediately distributed the ball to Inzaghi after attracting Tudor to steal. Pippo who successfully countered offside shot angrily!

Standing at the other end of the goal, Sebastian Frey could only look at the ball helplessly.

1 to 0! Fiorentina playing away from home are the first to go first!
