"The race is on! Batistuta was the first to take the ball and he gave it to Rui Costa behind him! The Portuguese midfielder didn't get the ball forward and he passed it straight back to Effenberg, who was further back! ”
According to Capello's pre-match arrangement, the Fiorentina players started from the midfield and played steadily, intending to use their jishu advantage to control the rhythm of the game first, suppress the opponent, and then attack Parma's goal!
Parma coach Carlo Ancelotti is not stupid, he has studied these Fiorentina players very much, and he naturally knows that there is a big gap between Parma and Fiorentina in terms of midfield - although the midfield of Brambilla, Stanich, Sancini and Dino Baggio can also be called first-class in Serie A, but it is much inferior to Fiorentina's midfield.
The midfield of Redondo, Davies, Effenberg and Rui Costa can throw a block away from Parma, whether it is in terms of jishu, game experience or even individual ability, it is a notch higher than Parma's midfield.
What's more, Fiorentina's bench also has stars such as Di Biagio, Djokaeff, and Tomasi, which can be adjusted accordingly according to the changes in the situation on the field. What about Parma? They can put together such a starting midfielder is already the limit......
Zhuang Mingge has always believed that the Tanzi family did not actually have the same belief in building the club into a big club as the late former Sampdoria owner Paulo Mantovani during their time at the helm, and they were basically satisfied with good results and occasionally won a few titles.
Throughout the nineties, Parma had a clear weakness in their squad, which was that their midfield was too weak to look like a team aiming for a title.
It would be understandable to say that Parma's lack of midfield before the Bosman Act was due to the limitation of foreign signing, after all, no one could be perfect in those days; However, after a full year of the implementation of the Bosman Act, this problem still exists, which makes Zhuang Mingge puzzled, why did Parma, who had obviously strengthened both the forward line and the back, ignore their midfield? As a result, Ancelotti had to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and move Saint Sini forward to the back position.
It was precisely because of the gap in the midfield that after the start of the game, Parma's players began to shrink the defensive line according to the manager's deployment and played a defensive counterattack.
Parma's move was in the hands of the Fiorentina players, who had intended to take the initiative in attack after the Parma men relinquished control of the midfield, and used their excellent feet to constantly pass the ball back and forth, making the pressing of the Parma players useless.
At the same time, they mobilized Parma's defence through these passes, looking for opportunities to deliver the fatal blow.
As the main midfielder on Parma, Dino Baggio is indeed a fierce player, otherwise he would not have been able to hold the position of the main midfielder of the Italian national team with Albertini for six years in history, but no matter how brave and good he is, he is a little powerless in the face of the combined impact of Costa and Effenberg.
As for his partner San Signi, since he has just switched from central defender to midfield, the Argentine veteran is obviously not very suitable for this new position, and there are still a lot of problems in defense, which is why Dino Baggio is so busy.
With such an unintentional betrayal of his teammates around him, Dino Baggio was very depressed.
And Fiorentina's players are not fools, and they soon discovered this and began to attack the defensive zone in charge of San Sini in various ways.
Just six minutes into the game, Rui Costa dribbled the ball diagonally to the left side of the penalty area, Sancini was too far back to get close to the opponent in time, and the Portuguese seized the opportunity to shoot from a distance, but unfortunately the ball hit Thuram's body and flew off the line.
Two minutes later, Fiorentina came back to face Effenberg's assault, this time Saintcini learned his lesson and rushed up to defend the tigers, only to be easily beaten by Effenberg and Costa after a one-two in front of the Argentines to break through to the Argentine's defence, Barty received a through ball from Effenberg and leaned on Thuram to turn and volley hard, the ball went just wide of the post, and Parma escaped again.
In the 11th minute, Redondo stepped forward with the ball, lured Stanich to grab and then sent a diagonal pass, Carlos, who was inserted from behind, received the ball and cut into the middle, and Sansini, who was in charge of defending this area, did not choose to grab but took a few steps back to prevent the opponent's breakthrough.
Carlos saw that no one was coming to force him, so he decisively picked up his left leg and fired a powerful volley thirty meters away from the goal!
The ball whistled like a cannonball, whistling towards the gates of Parma!
Sansini, who was guarding the opponent's breakthrough, was taken aback when he saw this, he didn't expect this little Brazilian man to dare to shoot directly from this position, he hadn't seen him play like this last season......
Of course, at that time, the two managers of Inter Milan, Bianchi and Hodgson, strictly forbade Carlos to do this, and Carlos is not the kind of player who does not obey the manager's tactical arrangement, and if you ask him not to do it, he will really not do it. Capello obviously wouldn't make such a foolish move, but he deliberately developed a set of tactics for Carlos's characteristics as a means to break the deadlock and the iron bucket formation.
As a result, Saint-Signi was so overwhelmed by his own experience that he could only watch as Carlos's ball flew past his left hand and headed straight for his own goal.
Seeing that the ball was about to go into the net, just when Carlos was already smiling triumphantly, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Parma's goal! Lifted the ball off the bottom line with one palm, and then fell the turf!
It's Luigi Buffon! He saved Parma just before the goal was about to fall!
"Yes...... Parma youngster Gian Luigi Buffon! Parma's new coach Carlo Ancelotti has been promoted from the youth team by the crowd since taking charge! The 17-year-old goalkeeper made a brilliant save just now, and it was his brilliant save that kept Parma in the open air! The commentator salivated and did not hide his appreciation for Buffon, "Regardless of Buffon's subsequent performance, now I think all Parma fans should give a round of applause to Buffon who questioned the main position before, without him, Parma must be in a catastrophe this time!" ”
