Although Juventus defeated Roma 4:l before, Fiorentina defeated Milan at home and consolidated their leadership, and Juventus could only settle for second place, waiting for the opportunity to overtake.

Capello was helpless about this, he thought that Milan, who were in excellent form, would at least remain unbeaten away so that Juventus could once again rise to the top of the standings, but now his expectations were disappointed, and Fiorentina showed great fighting power and actually beat Milan, who had won eight in a row.

Carlo Ancelotti could not accept such a score, he believes that the fairest result of this game should actually be a draw, Milan played not badly in this game, but the opponent's luck was obviously a little better, and there were some penalties in this game that were not good for Milan, such as Gilardino's goal was disallowed, and another time Shevchenko's shot hit Brocky's arm, and the referee did not award a penalty in the end, if one of the two decisions was in Milan's favor, the final result could have been different.

Milan's Gilardino was disgruntled in an interview, protesting: "Everyone knows that it's normal for hands to move each other in the box. Dainelli was pulling me at the time and I was just trying to get rid of him. I rushed to the ball and the linesman saw it...... But our opponent was great, he made things difficult for us, and then we couldn't fight back. Now we can no longer think about defeat and should focus on the Champions Cup in Istanbul. ”

AC Milan's other striker, Andriy Shevchenko, who has won the Ballon d'Or in European football, is certainly a little higher than Gilardino in terms of the realm, and he doesn't care about the loss of one city or one place, but thinks more about the final result, "The gap with the Bianconeri has widened to five points again, which is the most frustrating, but the important thing is to be at the top of the table in the last round, then the second or third can be completely satisfied ⊥with me, and then we will suddenly attack the cold arrow...... It's not a big deal to be behind Juventus at this point. Milan don't need the number one position to understand and confirm their quality. ”

Compared with Milan, Fiorentina must be a happy team, AC Milan is one of their biggest enemies in the league title, and now they have beaten their opponents in the strong dialogue, and the points gap has widened to U points, Fiorentina does not need to consider AC Milan at least in two league games, and if Juventus is thrown away in the direct dialogue later, Fiorentina will have a few points of certainty of winning the title.

Even if Fiorentina is no longer the dark horse of last season, beating AC Milan is a game that will make Fiorentina fans crazy and the Italian media surprised.

In addition to Fiorentina's strong record against strong teams from last season to now, it is also because of the "pressing defence" tactics adopted by Prandelli when playing against strong teams recently.

One of the most effective methods today: pressing defence, was written 10 years ago by Prandelli at the Coaching School in Corcchiano, and was well received by teachers and peers.

Ten years have passed, and there have been a lot of changes in the pressing defence, when the three teams defended together, and now the whole team is on the same page, and the entire back line has to be pressed into the midfield. In the first two full-backs could have stayed in the second half, not now. In the past, the purpose was to destroy the opponent, but now it is to organize its own attack after the destruction. In the past, this was a symbol of one's superiority over one's opponents, but now this pressing defense has become a kind of compensation for the overall technical disadvantage. Everyone knows that the individual skills of the giants are super strong, and they will have the upper hand one-on-one, just like Kaka wiped Brockie and shot past Ujfalusi. Having to cut down on individual confrontations and make up for them as a whole, Pirlo and Kaka were average last weekend, which shows the success of Prandelli's thinking.

"Milan Sport" commented: "Fiorentina's victory over Milan is a bit unfamiliar, at least contrary to the usual Prandelli's team. Prandelli, who creates a lore in passivity and has a Mancini-style spirit of innovation, exposes the side of Capello that is closer to him. Italy's top coaches are following this path, with Lippi being the best example and Roberto Mancini and Carlo Ancelotti both vacillating. ”

Corriere della Sera used figures to tell the root of Fiorentina's victory: "Prandelli's players run an average of 14 kilometres per game, like full-backs Pasquel, Maggio and Chen Yu. The overall pressure defense, the essence of the idea is not difficult to understand, with a lot of running to fill the position, make up for the lack of individual skills, so that a team with skills that are not good enough to become solid. A recent example of success is last season's Champions League winners Liverpool, who relied on overall pressing, forcing their opponents to play long balls in order to keep their two slow centre-backs from facing the ball on the ground. ”

However, "Corriere della Sera" is not optimistic that Fiorentina can replicate Liverpool's miracle, the reporter believes that Fiorentina does not have the same background as Liverpool, it is nothing to make a little achievement in the Champions League, it is almost impossible to win the championship, even if it is very difficult to win the Italian championship, Juventus and Milan are old guys who win the championship.

Fiorentina defeated AC Milan to stand firmly at the top of the standings and hit the championship pattern, which is refreshing. However, Chievo in season 0, who finished second at the winter break, were later squeezed out, and last season Fiorentina often dominated the top spot, but only finished third. "Roma Sport" interviewed 50 football people, 30 said that Filoron is not enough to win the championship, 19 said yes, only the person concerned, Prandelli did not say anything. Obviously, most insiders are more cautious. Bianchi (former Fiorentina coach), Di Michele, Cavasin, Mazzari and other favorites argue that Fiorentina has this strength, and as long as they don't focus on European competition, winning the championship is a high probability event. Opposition opponents such as Balaldi, Materazzi Sr., Ranieri, Pruzo, and Anastasia said that they are not yet used to playing under a certain amount of pressure, are not mentally prepared to win honors, and the bench is not as thick as the giants, and the state is uncertain, and it will take at least a year to win the championship.

Although this is the second season of excellent performance, Fiorentina is still a newly blooming stamen in the eyes of many people, whether it has the ability to fight glamorously, the round alone is not enough to explain, the next Roma, Juventus, Palermo are several obstacles to verify identity this year.

Although the outside world presents two completely different comments on Fiorentina's performance this season, some people are optimistic, some people are down, but the Fiorentina people are not fluttering, the lessons of last season's defeat are still fresh in their memories, they were overtaken by Juventus and AC Milan, and they were desperate and did not be able to return to the top again, this time they didn't dare to be careless about anything, the ball that can win must be won, and the gap between the opponent and the opponent must be widened. That's why Prandelli have adopted a pressing defensive tactic in this game.

The Fiorentina team is now proud, and both the league and the Champions League are making great progress, but Chen Yu has been a little troubled recently.

Before Tony's arrival, Chen Yu was the only god of Florence and the absolute spiritual leader, but after Tony's arrival, although Chen Yu's brilliance remained, Tony gradually rose, especially in goals, because Chen Yu's limelight was too strong, becoming a thorn in the flesh of all defenders, many times Chen Yu could not get a chance to shoot, and had to pass to Tony, so that Tony's goals were more and more, and now the league has just played l games, Tony scored a goal, and Chen Yu only scored 13, With just one more goal than Toney, the race for top scorer is now essentially an internal competition for Fiorentina.

To be honest, Chen Yu certainly didn't want to give up the top scorer to others, even his teammates, but the current situation is that in order for the team to win, he must also constantly help his opponent score, which makes Chen Yu can't help but be in a dilemma.

In addition to the small troubles on the court, Chen Yu also had some small troubles off the court.

After the big game with AC Milan, the AFC announced the three Asian stars who were shortlisted for the Asian Footballer of the Year race: Chen Yu of China, Mutasari of Saudi Arabia and Uzbekih international Shazkikh.

With Chen Yu's strength, fame and status in the world of football, there is certainly no doubt that he will be shortlisted for the top three, but there are no well-known players in Europe such as Park Ji-sung, Karimi, and Shunsuke Nakamura, and the selection of Saudi Arabia's Montasari and Uzbekistan international Shazkih is really confusing to many European fans

However, this is not an inside story in the selection of Asian Footballer of the Year, in fact, it is due to some strange practices adopted by the Asian Football Confederation.

Compared with other continents, the overall level of Asian football is backward, but Asia's Footballer of the Year has never been short of news, although General Zi Liba can't choose any famous stars, but at least he can choose the best one, but the AFC has a special rule, "The winner must attend the award ceremony in Kuala Lumpur, otherwise he is not eligible to receive the award." ”

Since the award ceremony of the Asian Footballer of the Year is held at the end of ll, the European League is in full swing at the moment, and it is difficult for the players who play in the European League to take a break to participate in an award ceremony, unless they give up the game and do not play, and in addition to Chen Yu is the core and leader of the team, the other players are between the main and semi-main forces, let them give up the league to compete for this false name, in order to get a medal to travel back and forth between the Eurasian continent, do not hesitate to give up the opportunity to play, and it is also an eye-catching false nameThese players will certainly not accept it.

The policy has just been criticized by many for the fact that Saudi goalscorer Jabbar, the favorite to win the tournament, submitted the news to the AFC that he could not attend the award ceremony, saying that "there are many scheduled competitions during this time, and many athletes are difficult to find time to attend the ceremony due to the competition." And the AFC officials also announced to the outside world at the first time: since Abdul-Jabbar will be absent, it is a pity that he has now launched the competition for this award. If you don't come to receive the award, you show disrespect to the AFC, and if you don't respect the AFC, there is no need to give you a prize."

Now the only players participating in the Asian Footballer of the Year election are Chen Yu and Uzbekistan international Shazkikh, although the AFC stipulates that the selection of Asian Footballer pays more attention to the performance of the international arena, but Uzbekistan international Shazkih still cannot be compared with Chen Yu, Chen Yu is very likely to win the Asian Footballer of the Year.

However, although Chen Yu does not have to worry about the main position, the awards party will be held on the 30th of ll, and Chen Yu will play a match against Roma on P, and then the quarterfinals between Yue and Juventus. At this time, taking a leave of absence to go back to this boring ceremony is really worth the loss, and Chen Yu is very tired of the tone and style of the AFC's speech, and he doesn't want to go in his heart.

After discussing with his agent Zhang Shubin for a long time, Chen Yu finally had a showdown with the AFC, saying that he could not attend the award ceremony.

Abdul-Jabbar's influence is incomparable to Chen Yu's, and then many football celebrities and stars began to support Chen Yu's bombardment of the AFC's brain-dead regulations. South Korean star Cha Fangun said: "If the AFC really can't change the rules, then it should also adjust the award time, because the players who play in Europe have no chance, in fact, the AFC should also listen to the advice of the players."

Chinese star Hao Haidong also said, "If a star like Chen Yu can't get the Asian Footballer of the Year, then the Footballer of the Year becomes a joke." “

European football legend Barty also said politely: "The Footballer of the Year should be awarded to the most powerful and famous star, not to the obedient star." “

If Chen Yu really withdraws, then there is no need to choose the Asian Footballer of the Year, and it will be the Uzbekistan international Shazkikh directly, but the Uzbekistan international Shazkikh as a "beneficiary" is also very thoughtful, "The AFC should be thoughtful, if so many qualified elite athletes are excluded only because of small etiquette, then the prestige of this award will drop greatly." ”

Many stars criticized and suggested, and Chen Yu had a huge appeal, so that the AFC had to consider the consequences, so they did not announce Chen Yu's withdrawal as they did with Jabbar for the time being, but held a representative meeting to study the selection of Asian footballers.

The AFC compromised, and Chen Yu certainly couldn't help but give a little face, so he said that he would come to the award ceremony in person, so a small turmoil finally ended under the AFC's compromise.
