Seeing Fiorentina pull back a goal shortly after the start of the second half, Cooper couldn't help but hesitate. He knew very well in his heart that after Stam put down the so-called top marking central defender and took the initiative to drag the central defender to wipe Lucio's butt, Fiorentina, who moved the formation back as a whole to compress the space at the back, had become quite solid on the defensive end, and his own offensive was greatly hindered by this. In this way, Inter Milan can only rely on the individual ability of several players in the front field on the offensive end, and if they want to take the initiative on the pitch again, then they must increase their investment in attack.

After all, even top strikers such as Ronaldo and Vieri can't single-handedly take on the opponent's entire backline every minute on the pitch. More often than not, all they can do is look for opportunities with the support of their team-mates and turn those chances into goals. If they are really allowed to do everything themselves on the offensive end, then it will not be long before the bodies of these players will be exhausted, and the frequent injuries of Vieri and Ronaldo when they played for Inter Milan in the previous life are inseparable from this.

However, after hesitating for a while, the Argentine coach finally did not choose to suppress the opponent with his attack and seek opportunities to expand the score, but with a big wave, he decided to let the team shrink the formation and strengthen the defense to maintain the current one-goal lead!

"What a dead-eyed guy." Glancing at Cooper, who was standing on the sidelines and commanding loudly, Heynckes pursed his lips disdainfully, "If it were me, it would be impossible to choose to defend at this time." After all, in football, a one-goal advantage is the most unreliable lead. ”

That being said, there was not a hint of relief on Heynckes' face. After all, no matter how much he despised Cooper's conservatism, Fiorentina were still behind and if they didn't score in the next 45 minutes, even Heynckes' words after the game would not be able to hide the defeat.

It has to be said that Cooper made a rather wrong decision. If he did not choose to retreat to maintain the lead, but continued to do not give up quick counterattacks on the basis of a solid defensive line, then Fiorentina would have some concerns when attacking; And now, with Crespo and Mutu both retreating to their own half to participate in the defense, it is clear that the Fiorentina players do not need to estimate these things, because even if Lucio and Stam are slow to turn and are easily seized by the opponent to form a breakthrough, the Nerazzurri do not have arrows to play on the counter-attack...... Mutu and Crespo, they're both behind the halfway line!

As a result, the entire second half of the game almost turned into a half-time offensive and defensive drill between Fiorentina and Inter Milan. The home team desperately searched for holes in the opposition defence and equalisers, constantly creating killing chances; And the Inter Milan players who played away did not slack off in the slightest, and Toldo became the busiest person on the pitch in the second half of the game!

Although Fiorentina created a lot of scoring chances in the second half under the planning of Deco and Albertini, it was not achieved under Toldo's heroic play, and repeatedly missed goals, and Inter Milan also escaped the fate of the goal again and again.

However, when the game was about to enter injury time, that is, about the 88th minute, Cooper still paid the price for his conservative move: Lucio suddenly dribbled forward after winning the ball at the back, Di Biagio and Zanetti did not come forward to intercept at the first time under the containment of Albertini and others, and Lucio seized the opportunity to drive all the way into the area of 30 meters from the gate of Inter Milan!

Zanetti and Di Biagio, who didn't realize the danger until then, hurriedly stepped forward to try to intercept Lucio, but their move was too late, and the Brazilian central defender, who had a strong desire to attack, passed the ball to Deco's feet as Zanetti moved, and the latter adjusted slightly after winning the ball, and then turned past Cannavaro and volleyed directly into the top of the penalty area!

Deco's shot has some arc, and the ball flies quite fast, so Toldo, who has been high and low in the second half to keep the door open, is also out of reach this time, and can only watch the ball fly into the goal!

Two to two! At the end of the game, Fiorentina was finally back on the same page as Inter Milan!

In this way, with a Jedi counterattack in the second half, Fiorentina, who once fell behind by two goals in the game, finally shook hands with Inter Milan, narrowly escaped a draw and a point, and retained the league leader!

Although they retained their top spot in the table, this contest exposed Fiorentina's shortcomings in terms of player allocation. That is, once Nesta is absent, the quality of Fiorentina's defense will drop a whole notch, although the combination of Lucio and Stam is also very solid, and has found some tacit understanding in the game with Inter Milan, but after all, it is still not as safe as when Nesta was on the field.

As a result, after the game, almost all Serie A managers began to develop some confidence in the victory over Fiorentina, who have won back-to-back games since the start of the season. After all, there are so many games in a season, and Nesta definitely can't start every game, so as long as they think about countermeasures in advance, then when Nesta is absent, they can deal with Fiorentina more effectively.

Heynckes, on the other hand, was not idle, and immediately contacted Zhuang Mingge and Antonioni by phone at the press conference after the game, asking the team to bring in another substitute central defender in January next year, that is, in the winter transfer period, so as to ensure the stability of the defensive line when Nesta is resting.

However, Heynckes' request was not approved immediately, mainly because Stamm's change in the second half gave Zhuang Mingge the hope of using the Dutchman as a replacement for Nesta, so they planned to wait and see how effective Stam was in playing as a drag-back centre-back.

What's more, even if the three central defenders are unable to play, Fiorentina still has Zivo and Sun Jihai and others in the team can also make cameos, if Heynckes can reasonably allocate these resources, the manpower in the central defender position can still be guaranteed.

As a result, Heynckes' request was put on hold by Zhuang Mingge for the time being, anyway, there are still more than two months before the winter break, and if there is a problem, he will have enough time to solve it, and he will not delay the team's game in the second half of the season.
