Volume 1 Chapter 490 Small Victory (I)
Even if Tony doesn't shout, Chen Yu will pass the ball to Toney, he took the ball and was caught by two central defenders, it was difficult to get a chance to shoot, and Tony was unguarded around him, fullback Zanetti was still on the way to make up for the defense, Tony had time to shoot.
Although Chen Yu and Tony are in competition, Chen Yu has now scored a goal and is already 5 goals ahead of Tony, he can put the team's victory first, in fact, even if Chen Yu and Tony score as many goals now, for the team's victory, Chen Yu will pass the ball to Tony, who has a better chance.
Chen Yu crossed, the ball gave a very good position, just in front of Tony, Tony can directly hit the goal, or stop the ball to adjust and then play, and can also dribble the ball into the penalty area, but Tony scored a heartfelt goal, and he saw Zanetti rushing towards him with the rest of his eyes, worried about being disturbed, so he shot directly with his feet.
The speed of the rush shot is fast, and the time for the goalkeeper to react is short, but the accuracy of the shot is not as good as shooting after stopping the ball, Toney's shot is pushed to the lower right corner of the goal with the arch of his foot, and the force of the shot is not small, but the angle is not tricky enough, and Cesar flew out of the shot.
Tony stood on the line of the penalty area and shot, and the penalty was not much different, not to mention that he still shot directly at the point, after the ball left his foot, he thought that the ball must have gone in, and he was ready to cheer, but he didn't expect Cesar to save the ball, Tony covered his head in surprise.
Chen Yu has also been paying attention to Tony after passing the ball, and when he saw the ball saved by the goalkeeper, he also shook his head regretfully, deeply sympathizing with Tony's bad luck.
Although Toney's goal was not scored, it caused great vigilance among the Inter Milan players, who were originally behind the score, bent on equalizing, invested too much in attack, and neglected in defense, only to be easily broken through the defense by Fiorentina to complete the shot. Fortunately, it was Tony who was not in good form who just shot the goal, and if it was Chen Yu, maybe the score would be 0 now.
Falling behind the score must definitely attack to equalize, but if you can't defend the opponent's attack, then no matter how many goals you score, you can't win, Inter Milan has a lot of experienced veterans, and they immediately understood this truth, although they did not relax their attack in the next game, but they also became more cautious in defense, Fiorentina was not able to seize the opportunity of the opponent's counterattack to expand the score as expected.
The last ten minutes of the first half passed quickly, and neither side was able to score again, and with the referee DeSantis's whistle, the players of both sides gave up the scramble, took off their wet jerseys and put them on their shoulders, and gasped and walked towards the dressing room.
In the audience, suspended managers Prandelli and Roberto Mancini could not enter the dressing room, and they hurriedly took out their mobile phones to summarize the problems and lay out the tactics to the players.
In the locker room, Gabriel. After Ping and Prandley finished talking on the phone, they quickly conveyed Prandelli's opinion to the players.
Because of the relationship between understanding and memory, Gabriel. It is impossible to pass on the meaning of Prandley to the players 100%, but the two have worked together for so long, and they still generally express Prandelli's tactics and ideas.
Fiorentina led the score and did not make any serious mistakes, and Prandelli's request was very simple, in addition to pointing out some mistakes made by Fiorentina's players in the first half, the main thing was to let the players maintain the original style of play, strive to expand the score as soon as possible, and seal the win, so as not to dream too much at night and lose the three points in hand after the worst.
In another dressing room, the backward Inter Milan players were not as comfortable as Fiorentina, although Mancini could not go to the dressing room in person, but he criticized Fiorentina's big stars on the phone, and was dissatisfied with their soft play in the first half, and they must not give Chen Yu so much freedom of movement in the second half, and must limit Chen Yu's activities, and use fast passes and more active runs to fight against Fiorentina's pressure.
Mancini saw the problems of Inter Milan in the first half very clearly, but this shortcoming was not something that his orders could make up, Inter Milan's midfield configuration is technical, Figo and Veron are both masters of technique, but the running ability of the two when they were young was very average, not to mention now, that is, Stankovic and Cambiaso are not purely defensive players, they are more attack-oriented, and it is difficult for them to run actively, unless Mancini replaces, But the substitutions do not have the skills of Figo and Veron, in fact, Inter Milan has always had a headache for this and has never been able to solve it.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, the players on both sides walked out of the locker room under the leadership of the referee, the first half of the two sides should have been tested, the opponent's strengths and weaknesses are very clear, after the kick-off of the second half, they directly met each other, and fought together.
In the face of strong opponents, Fiorentina's tactics have always been very simple, that is, defensive counterattacks, but Fiorentina's defensive counterattacks are not like the defense of ordinary weak teams, they do not defend to the death, but limit the opponent's attack through active running, once they get the ball, they immediately launch a counterattack through stars like Tony and Chen Yu.
Fiorentina's players are young, very strong in running, and their forwards are extremely strong, Chen Yu and Toni are terrifying beings who score more than 30 goals in a season, once the opponent is behind, it is almost impossible not to give Chen Yu and Toni a chance to shoot when counterattacking.
The premise of Inter Milan's constant formation wanted to suppress the Fiorentina players in their own half, but the Fiorentina players continued to spread Inter Milan's big net to the periphery with their own running, forcing Inter Milan to pass the ball back.
Chen Yu saw that Inter Milan put too much pressure on his midfield, so he also retreated to the midfield to assist his teammates in pressing Inter Milan's midfield, leaving only one Toni wandering in front of him, as a bridgehead to receive Fiorentina's counterattack.
After Chen Yu's retreat, the number of Fiorentina players involved in the defense has reached 9, and Chen Yu is not like an ordinary striker, the defense is just a dragonfly, it doesn't play much role, he retreats and converts into the consciousness of a midfielder, completely a defender with both offense and defense.
Inter Milan is not facing Fiorentina's formation at the moment is not 44, to be precise, it should be 45l, or 44lI is equivalent to playing more with less in the midfield, so that even if Inter Milan has a little technical advantage, it is difficult to change the overall situation on the field.
Chen Yu almost completely blocked Inter Milan's Stankovic's side, and Fiore also liberated most of it, and he was even able to spare some energy to organize attacks in the middle.
This is bad news for Inter Milan, because in this way Fiore is equivalent to building a bridge between Tony who wanders in the front and the midfielder at the front of his penalty area, the original Fiorentina attack is more through the wing and the middle of the long pass, and now after the transition by Fiore, the success rate of the counterattack is greatly improved.
Inter Milan became more and more passive in the second half except for the first 10 minutes, and the sixth of the time was also very unfavorable for them, they had to make changes if they wanted to equalize, if they did not change the current situation, not only could they not equalize, but they were also likely to be scored again by Fiorentina.
Standing in the stands, Mancini was restless and wanted to go back to the sidelines to teach the players in person, but for now, he had to call the assistant coach and ask him to make a substitution and change the passive situation in midfield. Obviously, telephone communication is by no means as easy as on-site command, and before Mancini's call was finished, the situation on the field changed abruptly.
In the 58th minute of the game, Fiorentina had another chance to counterattack, Pasquel drove the ball from the side, and after passing the center circle, Inter Milan mobilized troops, Cambiaso support was in place, Burdisso stopped retreating and went up.
Pasquier saw that it was impossible for him to break through the defense of the two players, so he immediately moved to the other side in a wide range to find Chen Yu, who was also plugging in.
Chen Yu stopped the ball on his chest, unloaded the ball as fast as he could, and prepared to go down from the side, but after Chen Yu saw Veron and Zanetti rushing towards him, Chen Yu changed his mind, he passed the ball to Fiore who was inserted forward in the middle, and he quickly ran along the side to the bottom line, reducing the resistance for the players in the middle.
Because Fiore has Chen Yu to assist in the defense, his defensive pressure is greatly reduced, and the range of retreat is also small, so that Fiore's talent in attack is displayed.
After receiving the ball, he continued to dribble forward at high speed, pressing the Inter backline, and after Fiore entered the 30-meter area, he reached the range of a long-range shot, and Córdoba, who was also retreating, suddenly stopped and retreated, and began to press forward, preventing Fiore from getting up and shooting from distance.
At this time, only the central defender Samuel was left to defend Toney, Fiore could pass to Tony and let Tony go to Samuel alone, but there was a lot of risk in doing so, although Toney's strength was stronger than Samuel, but the speed was not fast, but Saimuel definitely had the opportunity to foul.
At this time, Fiore showed his wit, he did not pass directly to Tony, but divided the side again, found Chen Yu, and asked Chen Yu to pass the ball to Tony from one side, so that Tony could shoot directly at the goal, and then attack after receiving the ball, in short, the choice was much greater than that of Fiore in the middle.
Chen Yu saw that Zanetti and Veron, who were following him, had not gone far, but his companion Fiore passed the ball over, he immediately understood Fiore's intentions, he did not stop the ball, and directly pushed the ball to the front of Tony's run, giving Tony a chance to advance, so that Tony has various options.
