Volume 1 Chapter 59 Serie B Debut (I)
(Clicking on the recommendation is too weak, the brothers' classification of the double list is invisible, come on, give a little encouragement to play football, I look forward to you.) )
Fiorentina's first Serie B opponent was Triestina.
This is an alternative team in Italian football, Trieste, the city where Triestina is located, is located in the northernmost part of the Adriatic Highlands in northeastern Italy, near the border between Italy and Slovenia, historically it belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, after World War II it was a free port, this team is deeply influenced by Yugoslav football, delicate skills, smooth coordination, outstanding individual ability, last season they played fifth in Serie B, lost to Reggina in the promotion play-offs, and had to continue to fight in Serie B.
Playing a strong team like Triestina in their first Serie B game after skipping a division will be a huge challenge for the newly formed Fiorentina.
Before the game, Fiorentina coach Cassinwa was full of worries about this game, the level of old players is too poor, new players have just been bought, how to arrange the lineup to play such a game, in fact, there is no chance of winning in any lineup, and it can even be said that it is already burning incense to be able to draw.
In the pre-match press conference, Casingwa did not hide his thoughts, he said that he did not have too high requirements for the team's first game, the team has just been formed, there is no time to run-in, and Triestina has a rich experience in Serie B powerhouse, even if they play at home, they will not have any advantage, and a draw is an acceptable result.
However, Cassinwa believes that Fiorentina is not without a chance of winning, "Football is round, although in terms of strength and cooperation, we are at a disadvantage, but we are not without a little advantage, so far we have sold more than 30,000 tickets, the more than 30,000 fans in the stadium will be our biggest motivation, if a little more luck, maybe we can bring a surprise to the fans who support us." ”
Casingwa's low-key, in addition to his own strength is really not high, is also to relieve pressure on the players and cool down the fans.
After the team suddenly jumped to Serie B, the enthusiasm of Fiorentina fans skyrocketed, and in the streets and alleys, Internet cafes and parks, fans discussed the news of Fiorentina's promotion to Serie B; TV stations, newspapers, online forums, are all hyping up the topic of returning to Serie A this season, which puts a lot of pressure on the players.
Kasinwa was very low-key because he was worried that his players would not be able to perform under such pressure, and that if the fans' expectations were too high, the result would not be satisfactory.
Club president de la Valle is far-sighted, understands the current situation of the team, and it really takes a lot of luck to come up with results in the short term, he said that due to the haste of promotion to Serie B, there is no time for the team to prepare, the team lacks run-in, and wants to adapt to the rhythm of Serie B, and the results are estimated to be after five or six rounds, and he believes that Casingwa's adjustment ability will be like last season, and this new team will be polished and formed quickly.
The low profile of President de la Valle and head coach Casinwa did not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans, and on the day of the game, the Fiorentina fans who had been excited for a week arrived at the stadium early, and by the start of the game, the number of fans who came to the Frankie Stadium had exceeded 35,000, which was the largest number of fans who came to watch the game since Fiorentina's relegation.
In addition to the regular fans, Fiorentina president de la Valle, manager Galli, the new marketing manager Lu Keisi, and the mayor of Fiorentina, Domenez, were all on hand to cheer on Fiorentina's Serie B debut.
Fiorentina's starting lineup for this game is: goalkeeper Sejavi, left back Maggio, right back Bagis, central defenders Viari and Mugnani, midfielders: Camorani, Di Livio, Longo and Gao Fei, forwards Chen Yu and Gao Fei.
After much thought, Casingwa finally sent a lineup dominated by new signings.
The old squad of C2 is very tacit, but there is still a certain gap between their individual ability and Serie B, and it is difficult to say how high the level can be, these new signings will definitely play the main force in the future, Kasinwa believes that sending them up and running in the formation is the best choice, although the short-term effect may not be good, but from the perspective of the whole season, it is cost-effective.
But Cassinwa did not dare to risk playing 433, but chose a more balanced 442 or 4411 formation, with Rigano at the front, Chen Yu behind Ricano, and Camorani, Di Livio, Longo and Goofy lined up in the back, becoming a wall in front of the back line.
The back line has been adjusted the most, but there are three old players in front, Di Livio, Longo and Gao Fei, and in the front line, there are Chen Yu and Rigano, even if there are mistakes in coordination, there are people who make up for them.
From the perspective of the current lineup, there is nothing unreasonable about Casingwa's arrangement, even if coaches like Capello, Trapattoni, and Lippi come to arrange the lineup, they dare not say that they do better than Casingwa.
However, after all, it is the strength that decides the game, and a team that has only trained together for three days is unlikely to be able to compete with Triestina, who has been running together for many years, and Triestina is obviously well aware of this, and after the game began, they used their skillful combination to launch a fierce attack on Fiorentina, trying to use the onslaught to cause Fiorentina's mistakes and strive for the first goal.
In the first minute of the game, Triestina, who kicked off first, used a one-two on the side to get past Fiorentina's left-back Maggio, due to the conflict between Goofy and Maggio, it was Longo in the left midfield position, and when Longo went to the left wing, a realistic feint by the opponent's left midfielder No. 8 caused a foul on Longo, and Triestina won a free kick.
"Cups! Fouled in the first minute, C2's technical content is low, and physical confrontation is the mainstay, and Longo's arrival in Serie B is a little inapplicable. Now the new signings have strong personal ability, but not enough cooperation, the old man can cooperate, but the personal ability is poor, let's see how Terry Estina handles this free kick. ”
Triestina took a free-kick and found his team-mate, but Fiorentina's centre-back from Perugia was a man of great individual ability, and under his position and interference, Triestina's spot-grabber failed to get on target and the ball went over the crossbar.
Fiorentina serves.
Goalkeeper Sejavi didn't kick the ball off the road and the ball was passed to Viari, who passed to Di Livio, who and Camorani combined to play a short penetration, rather than the original long ball.
Cassinwa made this tactical change for three reasons, the first is that after the new signings, Fiorentina have Camorani in the middle, and the two full-backs Maggio and Bacis have the ability to assist. The second is the change of Chen Yu, in the match with the Belgian giants Anderlecht, Chen Yu suddenly showed the quality of a shadow striker, he suddenly shot out behind Ricano, and the moment he broke through the opponent's goal with lightning shocked Casingwa, he thinks that Chen Yu playing shadow striker is also a good change. The third is that the technical content of the Serie B league is not comparable to that of C2, C2 only needs Chen Yu and Di Livio to go to the bottom, and Ricano's header can get all the teams, but in Serie B, this simple and rough style of play is definitely not good, so he decided to adopt a combination of short pass penetration and side in the middle of the play.
Cassinwa's idea is good, but there is no tacit understanding between Dilivio and Camorani, Barkis and Maggio, who assisted on the side, are also out of tune with the ball handler in terms of the timing of the run, Camorani took the ball and Di Livio played a one-two, the ball was given a little faster, Di Livio had to barely get the ball under the opponent's scramble, and it was so late that the opponent's defense came over, Di Livio did not have time to observe, and barely passed to the side to find Maggio, but the linesman raised the flag to signal that Maggio was offside.
Compared with Fiorentina's stumbling attack, Triestina's attack was much more fluid, and the ball reached the edge of Fiorentina's penalty area with three passes and two downs, forming a chance to shoot.
The No.9 striker's shot was punched out by goalkeeper Sejavi and a flying header down the middle was headed over, but the ball was picked up by Triestina for the third spot, and then continued to pass on the edge of the box in search of space in the Fiorentina defence.
Fiorentina knew that their back line was a group of newcomers, and the cooperation was very poor, and the front court had to return to defense, except for Rigano who suppressed Triestina's central defender in the opponent's half, and even Chen Yu returned to his 30-meter area to assist in the defense.
Chen Yu is bound to the football awareness of Russian striker Serchev today, and defense is not his strong point, but now that the opponent is pressed to the doorstep, he also has to retreat to get the ball.
Even though Fiorentina was forced to defend intensively, the opponent's active No. 9 still found a chance to kick, but there were too many people in the box and too many legs, and the No. 9 hit the ball on his teammate's ass and bounced back.
Di Livio was closest to the ball that bounced back, but his explosiveness was no longer good, and when he ran over to get the ball, his opponent came with a flying tackle and shoveled the ball towards his teammate who was standing in the open space, Di Livio watched the ball roll in front of him, but there was no way to get it, and he couldn't change direction to chase it.
As Triestina's player was about to get the ball and continue to attack, a figure burst out from behind the player and steals the ball.
"Chen Yu!"
"Chen Yu!"
The Chinese Fans' Association, wearing the No. 9 Fiorentina jersey in the stands, was the first to cheer, and then the cheers detonated the audience.
When the new signings came, the transfer fee and annual salary were the highest in the team, but after the game started, it didn't play a role, and the opponent was pressed against the opponent, the fans were very disappointed, at this time they remembered last season's top scorer, the Chinese striker Chen Yu who miraculously saved Fiorentina in difficult times.
