Volume 1 Chapter 521 Change
At the end of the match between Juventus and Roma on Saturday, Juventus, who had been struggling in the whirlpool of scandal and had been winning, finally couldn't hold on this time, and they were held to a 1-1 draw by Roma at their home stadium.
Such a score is acceptable to Roma, before the match between Inter Milan and Parma, Inter Milan lost to Parma 0l, Roma chased the difference between Inter Milan and Milan by one point, and now the difference between the two teams is only 3 points, Roma is very hopeful of reversing Inter Milan and getting a Champions League place.
However, the 1-1 score is not good for Juventus, Fiorentina have already exceeded Juventus L points, and if Fiorentina wins this game, the difference between them and Juventus can be extended to 4 points, and Milan will be eliminated from the title race.
After learning the results of the match between Juventus and Roma, Fiorentina's mood settled down, and the pressure was much less, originally they were worried that once they drew with Milan, Juventus would be overtaken, although now Juventus has become a guilty body, but a day without trial, no one dares to say what the result will be, now Juventus is forced to draw by Rome, Fiorentina is not in danger of any result, at most Juventus is forced to draw.
In the previous week's training, Prandelli discharged a lineup with both offense and defense, and Montolivo served as a starter many times, but after getting the news of Juventus' draw, Prandelli's mind changed and decided to play more steadily, so he adopted the second set of schemes, with two backs Brockchi, Donader, Pachenza and Fiore, playing a 44 formation, so that Montolivo was put on the bench.
Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti sees more hope, Juventus are forced to draw, as long as they beat Fiorentina, the gap with Juventus and Fiorentina has been narrowed to 4 points, with eight rounds left, Juventus' unpredictable fate, AC Milan* can not be considered small to win the title.
Under such a positive stimulus, AC Milan has also adjusted the original tactical arrangement, Ancelotti's original idea was to attack, and strive to eat Fiorentina at home, and now the situation is good, Ancelotti certainly hopes to be more aggressive.
On the basis of the original, one became more conservative and the other more aggressive, and as a result, the starting players of the game came out of the dressing room, and the two managers and the fans and commentators who were present were taken aback.
"Dida Maldini, Nesta, Kaladze, Serginho, Petusso, Pirlo, Seedorfka, Kakasshechenko, Inzaghi...... This is a very attacking lineup, with Ancelotti's character, to put out such a lineup, it is intended to fight with Fiorentina......"
Fiorentina started with goalkeeper Toldo, four defenders Ouj Farousi, Gambellini, Dainelli and Pasquel, three midfielders Brocki, Donadale, Pachenza and Fiore, and two forwards Chen Yu and Toney...... This is a 44 formation, Fiorentina may not seem so conservative, but because Chen Yu, a striker, has a defensive attribute, this lineup can become an extremely conservative 45L formation at any time...
The on-site commentator expressed his opinion according to the starting list in his hand, and his opinion was also very representative, and the fans also talked about it when they saw such a starting lineup.
"Fiorentina are a bit conservative, three at the back"
"Is Florence going to get a point?"
"Is Anzhu planning to fight with Prandley?"
"It's the first time that an aging Milan has been so bloody"
Prandelli and Carlo Ancelotti were surprised to see their opponents' starting line-ups.
"What a cunning guy who sees Juventus lose and they defend and want to push us out of the championship camp? Don't forget that we are playing at home, let me see if your back three can block our front trident? Carlo Ancelotti looked at Fiorentina's starting line-up and thought hatefully.
Prandelli looked at the players on the field, weighing and comparing them repeatedly in his heart, "Pachenza is staring at Kaka, Donadale and Dainelli are in charge of Shevchenko, Brocky and Gamberini are staring at Inzaghi, and it is very difficult for Seedorf to be inserted, so Brocky and Donaderdo pay attention...... In this analysis, it is probably the wings that will decide the outcome of the outcome, and it depends on whether Pasquier and Ujfarussi can prevent the assists of Maldini and Serginho. ”
On the pitch, the players have completed the on-field swapping and side-picking ceremonies, and each returned to his own half.
The players are also seasoned, although they are not as proficient in tactics as the coach, but they also see the opponent's intentions, and their companions are also talking in a low voice, thinking about how to break through the opponent's defense.
The referee is the famous Serie A referee Rossetti, after the phone gate, the referee job in Serie A seems to be more difficult to do, because the slightest mistake will be put under a magnifying glass, and it seems that it can be linked to underground corruption, but Rossetti is still praised for his fairness and strictness, and is known as the successor of the bald Corina.
force
At 30 a.m. local time in Italy, referee Rossetti blew the whistle for the start of the game.
First off was the away team Fiorentina.
After a quick return pass to the back, the ball was quickly returned to the front and passed to the feet of Fiore, the heart of the midfield.
Fiore got the ball and immediately crossed to an open space in the Milan penalty area.
There is no one in this position, there are no offensive players and no defensive players, but Fiore's pass is not blind, he has seen Chen Yu running towards this area when he passes, Fiore knows Chen Yu's speed very well, he will definitely grab the ball before everyone.
AC Milan's defenders and midfielders are the top in the world, of course they will not run with the ball, but they will judge the direction and landing point of the ball, see the ball pass in the penalty area, and Chen Yu is still following up quickly, very dangerous, fullback Maldini, midfielder Pirlo, central defender Nesta all came to block.
Under the siege of the three world-level players, Chen Yu could not have time to adjust, Chen Yu did not adjust, nor did he look at the goal, he followed up with a volley, and the ball flew out of the post.
“…… Shot: Chen got a chance to shoot in the opening 30 seconds, goalkeeper Dida was obviously unprepared, and did not react, but fortunately the ball missed the post, Chen looked like he wanted to try his footwork, but it was not so smooth......"
The on-site commentator was also explaining to the fans, and when he saw the shot, he immediately changed the topic.
"That's a good pass!"
Chen Yu immediately gave a thumbs up to Fiore, who was passing the ball, and the ball should have been passed by Fiore specifically for him, because Tony's speed could not have had a chance to touch the ball.
"It's a good shot, it's too much for the angle." Fiore also expressed his appreciation to Chen Yu.
AC Milan saw Fiorentina line of three backs, thinking that Fiorentina was an iron-hearted defense today, but they didn't expect Fiorentina to give them a dismount at the beginning, if they were just a little unlucky, maybe they would have conceded the goal, because the goalkeeper was beaten at all and had no reaction.
The ball was back in the hands of AC Milan, and the AC Milan players certainly couldn't show weakness on their home turf, and the goalkeeper handed the ball to Pirlo, who dribbled through the centre circle and immediately Fiore followed him.
Although Fiore is not a defensive midfielder, Pirlo's speed is not fast, he is entangled by Fiore, Pirlo's easy pass is not so easy, Pirlo handed the ball to Seedorf, Brockie immediately came to intercept, Seedorf knocked the ball horizontally to the inserted defensive defender Gattuso.
Gattuso is Milan's only defensive midfielder, his task is mainly to assist defenders in defense, limiting the opponent's forward midfield, but at the beginning of the game, Chen Yu grabbed a shot in the penalty area, which made Gattuso angry, he saw that Pirlo and Seedorf did not dare to dribble the ball, Gattuso yelled, "Let me come." 'I dribbled the ball to Fiorentina's half.
Gattuso's sudden forward insertion caught the Fiorentina players off guard, and no one came to stop him, allowing Gattuso to drive straight into the 30-meter danger zone of Florence, when the Fiorentina players reacted and Donadale came to intercept, Gattuso had already found a good point to come out of the ball and passed the ball to Kaka, who reached out for the ball.
Kaka ran to the open space to ask for the ball when Pachenza was distracted by Gattuso's dribbling, and Gattuso also separated in time, when Pachenza saw that Kaka was lost by him, he quickly ran over, but Kaka had enough time to adjust, he stopped the ball, strode forward, and rushed to the Fiorentina penalty area at high speed.
Brocky quickly came over to fill in Pachenza's position, and Kaka accelerated with a duffle, shook off his former teammate with speed, and continued to push forward.
Kaka wanted to attract the defender and pass the ball to his striker, who was only 267 meters away from the goal, and the striker had not yet run out of position, so he decisively shot with his feet on the run.
Kaka's long-range shot was brilliant, and at the moment, unguarded, he made a good move, and the ball whistled like a precision-guided missile into the top right corner of the goal.
If there is a different goalkeeper, Kaka's shot is very likely to cause a goal, but today standing on the goal line is the former Inter Milan goalkeeper Toldo, the Milan derby has played so much, so important, Toldo is familiar with Kaka can not be more familiar, the ball reached Kaka's feet, Toldo was ready for his long-range shot.
Flying and leaping, Toldo is like a gibbon, his body is still in the air, one arm is stretched out, and the ball is knocked out of the bottom line with the palm of his hand.
"Pretty"
"Well pounced"
"It was a good shot, too
The fans in the stands cheered for the beautiful attack and defense.
The commentator at the scene also sighed: "It's a pity that AC Milan didn't score, Kaka's long-range shot gave Toldo a chance to perform, and it can only be said that when it came to the winter transfer, Fiorentina's choice was correct, and Toldo's performance was not inferior to Frei's ...... at all."
Kaka created a corner, but Fiorentina defended well and Pirlo's corner did not threaten and the ball was broken again by a defender.
In the next corner, Pirlo played a tactical match, but still failed to tear apart the Fiorentina defense, but as the game progressed, AC Milan controlled the midfield and constantly attacked the Fiorentina penalty area, bringing great danger to the Fiorentina defense.
