PS: In the new week, I hope you can continue to support you, and the more recommended votes, the better, thank you~
Just when Zhuang Mingge and Moratti were communicating, the players of Fiorentina and Inter Milan had already started a fierce confrontation on the pitch!
The strongest thing about Fiorentina is that they have assembled a luxurious first-team squad under the leadership of Zhuang Mingge, from Nesta and Stam in the backfield, to Redondo and Effenberg in the midfield, to Ronaldo and Vieri in the forward line, these players are enough to make any manager ecstatic about this!
In contrast, Inter Milan is clearly a case of top-heavyness. The Nerazzurri, with two top stars of Baggio and Barty, are not much inferior to Fiorentina in attack, and the midfielders led by Djokaeff and Simeone are only slightly inferior to the purple in terms of reputation, and their strength can still stabilize most teams in Serie A, and the problem lies in the Nerazzurri's backline.
Zanetti's ability does not need to be described too much, and being able to sit firmly in the position of the main right-back at Inter Milan, which has a lot of personnel mobility, shows his strength in itself; Inter Milan's dressing room leader, Bergomi, is also a veteran and strong, and his performance at the World Cup in France in the summer was so good that it was impossible to tell that he was a veteran who was about to turn 35; Pagliuca's deposit has added an insurance to Inter Milan's door, and he can beat Peruzzi and Toldo to sit in the position of the No. 1 goalkeeper of the Italian national team, and his strength is undoubted.
However, Uncle Bergomi's central defender partner Gallant and Colonnese on the left flank, although these two players are considered good in Italy, their strength is only the main force that can beat any mid-table team in the first league, and it is a very abnormal situation to be able to sit in the main position in a giant team like Inter Milan.
To be honest, if there is no Belgomi, Zanetti and Pagliuca in charge, this backline of Inter Milan is really at the level of the middle of Serie A......
The main reason why Inter Milan's backline is so watery is because of the influence of Moratti. Mo's obsession with attacking players, especially good strikers, has led him to neglect to build up the team's backline, and many times he has only shelled out a little money to deal with it at the manager's repeated requests - this neglect of the construction of the midfield and the penchant for spending a lot of money on the attacking line did not change until the arrival of Argentine coach Cooper and the arrival of Facchetti in charge.
That's all for the sidelines, now let's get back to the game.
Inter Milan, who had the right to kick off, were the first to attack, and Simeone was looking to take advantage of the fact that the home side were not in the game early enough to break down the Fiorentina defence with a round of attack - and if he could take advantage of that opportunity to score a goal, Simeone would be comfortable with his players on the pitch to play his best defensive counter-attack.
Although it is said to be the opening attack, Inter Milan's attacking tactics are quite monotonous, and the head coach Simeone adheres to the fine tradition of Italian coaches, that is, the knowledge of defense is far more than the understanding of attack - he has created a fairly solid defensive system for Inter Milan without a few top defensive players, which is indeed indispensable; However, when he has a lot of good cards in the offensive end, he doesn't pinch these stars into a whole, but allows them to play alone in the front court.
Let's be honest, if it weren't for the experience of Djokaeff, Barty and Roberto Baggio who played together at Fiorentina and still have some tacit understanding with each other, Inter Milan's results this season would not be as strong as they are now...... After all, this is how Inter Milan is in history, and Simeone also paid a terrible price for this, losing his job at Inter Milan.
After passing the ball back and forth in midfield a few times, Inter Milan began to attack according to the manager's arrangement. Diego Simeone picked up the ball near the centre circle and, in the face of compatriot Redondo's pressing, he didn't dwell too much with his opponent, but immediately raised his foot to pass the ball to Djokaeff; The Frenchman didn't stick to the ball, and before Zambrotta and Ljungberg could flank him, he stuffed the ball straight to Batistuta, who was pulled to the edge of the box.
Barty stopped Djokaeve's pass at his feet, and he knew that he was very familiar with Fiorentina's defensive system, and he had to make a decision at this time, otherwise what awaited him would be a flank from Fiorentina players from all sides - Ranieri and Capello, the two managers who started with defense, have adapted the defensive system is not a joke, and the chances will be lost if you are not careful.
Roberto Baggio was also well aware of Barty's thoughts, and he quietly moved to the other side of the penalty area, creating a spot for Barty and luring Nesta away from Barty's side, creating a one-on-one situation for the Argentine god of war and Stam.
In this way, under the containment of Baggio, Batty faced Stam's defense, protected the ball with his right foot, and directly forced a turn, and after pushing the Dutch central defender who was closely marking him for a short distance, he took advantage of this gap to suddenly shoot from a distance!
Although Stam stretched out his long leg and tried to interfere, Barty's long-range shot was still at a great level, and the ball whistled towards the top right corner of the goal!
Seeing that the ball was about to fly into the goal, Toldo kept the cheers of the Inter Milan fans in the stands in his throat: he quickly moved his feet in front of the goal, and then jumped high and lifted Barty's powerful shot with one hand!
Then, Roberto Baggio took a corner, and his ball found Batistuta's head accurately, and the Argentine god of war beat Stam in the air to flick his head!
However, Barty's ball was once again denied by Toldo, and the Fiorentina goalkeeper confiscated the ball directly, leaving no chance for the opponent to make up the shot.
With two shots on goal and almost a goal in the opening stages, Barty's watch won unreserved applause from the Inter fans in the stands!
And the Fiorentina fans seemed to forget that the number nine in the blue and black sword shirt in front of them had been their favorite player, and they booed Barty in the stands, and they immediately suppressed the applause of the visiting fans!
After saving Batty's header, Toldo, without waiting for all the Inter players to withdraw from his own penalty area, threw the ball directly to the feet of Robert Carlos on the left!
After Inter Milan almost broke the Fiorentina goal at the beginning, it's now the turn of the Nerazuri to be scared!
