After Corina blew the whistle to announce the start of the game, the Fiorentina players, who won the tee off in the pre-match coin guessing session, did not rush to attack, but unhurriedly fell backwards in their own half under the command of Pirlo, intending to lure the Juventus players to press the formation so that their teammates in front of them could gain more space to attack on the counter-attack.

According to Mourinho's previous judgment, Juventus will definitely lay a heavy defensive line in the midfield, give full play to their advantages in running ability and strength, disrupt their own attacking rhythm with ferocious pressing and wait for opportunities to break the ball and counterattack. Therefore, Fiorentina must be prepared to avoid a situation where the opponent succeeds in stealing in the midfield and directly attacks their own backline with the ball.

Although technically Fiorentina is more dominant, and as an attacker, Pirlo can also occupy more initiative, using continuous rapid passes to consume the physical strength of Juventus players, but Juventus's player configuration is too strong, except for Trezeguet, who is slightly inferior in running ability, the other five people in the midfield have enough running range to cover the entire field. And this kind of full-court pressing at the expense of physical strength made it difficult for Fiorentina to calmly organize an offensive by Pirlo at the back, and had to speed up the transfer of the ball to prevent the opponent from successfully forming a numerical advantage in the local area, so as to lose the ball at his feet.

As a result, Fiorentina's attack is bound to suffer, because the pace of the team changes as the speed of moving the ball increases, and the players can easily adapt to the inertia of training, which can lead to some mismatches.

"Damn, these guys at Juventus are too perverted to run, right? It's like a piece of chewing gum, and you can't shake them off. After dodging Nedved's interception with a pull ball, Pirlo thought with a bit of a headache. Although he had anticipated the difficulties of this match, Pirlo clearly did not expect this game to be so difficult, "It was so hard to get rid of one, and it didn't take a few seconds to rush to the other, which is really annoying." ”

With this in mind, Pirlo quickly passed the ball to the left - after a few minutes of fighting, Pirlo could see that if he didn't pass the ball right away, then the Juventus players would be covering him from front to back.

With his small body, if he was sandwiched between two muscular guys...... Just thinking about this picture, Pirlo shuddered.

Seeing the signs of Fiorentina players being dragged into the midfield quagmire by their own players, Trapattoni couldn't help but smile on his face. Obviously, the gold medal coach is quite happy to see the situation of the players on both sides stumbling in midfield.

Increasing the distance travelled by the players to increase the effect of pressing and creating a situation of more play and less in some parts of the pitch is what Trapattoni stole from the Fiorentina players during his time in charge of the Italian national team. And now, Trapattoni is putting the fruits of his studies to work against Florence, and it has to be said that it is quite a dramatic picture.

The Fiorentina players did not expect their tactical style to be stolen by Trapattoni and successfully applied it to Juventus. As a result, in the first 10 minutes of the game, they were uncomfortable with the organised and ferocious pressing of the Juventus players, making a number of passing errors on the pitch and almost being scored by the Bianconeri at the start of the game.

If it weren't for Buffon's concentration and the world's No. 1 goalkeeper's form tonight, Fiorentina would have been stunned by Juventus' opening three-board axe and then lost the battle for the top spot.

"Tsk, Fiorentina is really difficult to deal with, we have been beaten like this, and we can still rely on a Buffon to keep the goal from conceding." Trapattoni smacked his lips, feeling very coveted by Fiorentina's luxurious player configuration, "If Buffon plays for Juventus, then we can get at least fifteen more points in the league every season." In that case, Florence or something, there is no need to worry at all! ”

It's not that Trapattoni isn't happy with Frei's performance, it's just that Gianluigi Buffon is so good that any manager will have a chance of getting him.

However, as the game deepened, the Fiorentina players who gradually adapted to the pressing rhythm of Juventus finally stabilized their position, and relied on their technical advantages to maneuver around the opponent in the midfield.

After all, the reason why Fiorentina was suppressed by Juventus on the field before was mainly because the Bianconeri's tactical style of stealing from Fiorentina caught them off guard. Now, with the Fiorentina players accustomed to the pace of the game and already seeing that Juve were using the same style of play they were used to, it was only natural that the effectiveness of this tactic would be greatly reduced.

In the eighteenth minute of the game, Pirlo evaded Ibrahimovic's pressing and passed the ball diagonally to Ballack in front of the right, and the German forced the ball forward under the interference of Nedved, until he attracted Tacinadi to cover the defense before passing the ball back to Pirlo.

After receiving Ballack's pass, Pirlo did not give the Juventus players time to react, and immediately passed the ball to the original position of Tacinadi!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who just happened to cut in place, successfully received this pass from Pirlo, and the Portuguese teenager did not try to show off his dribbling skills in front of the Juventus players, and after making a feint to break through to the bottom line, he dribbled to the line of the big penalty area, and took advantage of the opportunity for Gala and Thuram to focus on Milito and hit the goal directly!

Because he didn't expect Ronaldo to hit the goal directly in this position, although Frei has been paying attention to the Portuguese movement, he has also put a lot of energy on Milito in the penalty area, so when he found that the ball was actually flying towards the goal, there was not enough time for the French goalkeeper to make a save......

1 to 0! After a difficult start, Fiorentina finally knocked on the door of Juventus and took the lead in this battle for the top spot!
