Volume 1 Chapter 232 The Gate of Life

Chen Yu sneezed when he came out of Belen's house, but he didn't care about it at the time, in the past three years, Chen Yu has trained his body to be stronger than an ox, and he never knew what a cold was, and he didn't expect to catch a cold after coming to the training base in Florence by car, and his head was a little dizzy, and the team doctor gave Chen Yu a little medicine to eat, but the effect did not come out immediately.

As the leader of the first team and a training maniac, Chen Yu was late for a long time and came back with a cold, which aroused the gossip enthusiasm of his teammates and reporters, and everyone speculated about what Chen Yu went to last night and this morning, could it be that there is a new woman in addition to Belen and the legendary Keira Knightley?

However, Chen Yu was not in the mood to pay attention to these things, he and Di Livio were the participants and makers of the team's tactics, and when he returned to Florence, Chen Yu let go of everything and devoted all his energy to studying Florence and

Juventus in the game.

This is a big battle for the top spot, Juventus have eight wins, one draw and one loss, points, Fiorentina have eight wins and two draws, points, one point difference between the two teams, and Fiorentina must not lose in Turin if they want to stay at the top of the table.

It has only been sitting at the top of the list for three days, and Fiorentina has enjoyed the sweetness of the top spot, and in the past three days, the media have been endlessly touting Fiorentina, and crowned it with titles such as "Serie A Kaiserslautern", "Super Dark Horse", the most bullish promotion horse in history, and so on.

The number of fans who came to watch the training base doubled, and the players could hear the thunderous cheers and praise of the fans at any time during training, and there were fans asking for autographs and group photos outside the stadium, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the players.

Even Fiorentina President de la Valle benefited from Florence's crazy record, and the opposition league gained the upper hand in the contest with the Holy League, and Galliani's re-election plan collapsed, the election was postponed, and in the first election held in November, Galliani did not get enough votes with only his candidate, and finally had to prepare for a second election.

However, Fiorentina will have a harder time remaining unbeaten in Turin than beating Inter Milan at the Stadio Franky.

Prior to the bizarre defeat to Regina, Juventus were unbeaten in 15 official league matches in the Champions League. The stability of the back line, the sharpness of the forward line, is daunting, and the unstable Inter Milan is completely different, Fiorentina has a big gap with Juventus, both individually and as a whole, and it is not so easy to score points on the old woman.

However, Juventus is not perfect, Juventus can be on the weak Reggina side, luck is certainly the decisive factor, but it also exposes some problems of Juve.

There will always be only five men in the backline: Buffon, Zebina, Thuram, Cannavaro and Zambrotta, while Legorotali, Montero, Iuliano and Tudor are largely abandoned, and Ferrara, Billindeli and Pesoto cannot meet Capello's needs.

Although Trezeguet is injured and Capello is not short of goalscoring means, many positions in central midfield lack obvious alternatives, and the characteristics of the players are seen through by opponents and they are easily fatigued.

In their last game, Juventus conceded two goals.

In the 13th minute, Tedesco took the ball from the left, and Cannavaro in the middle unleashed a kick on the body of Colucci, who was rushing forward, and the ball drew a high parabola, bypassing Buffon, who was slightly in front, and flew into the dead corner of the gate. The goal gave Juventus a blow in the head. However, even more unexpected in the first minute, Emerson fouled Tedesco, and Zamponi took advantage of the free-kick opportunity to shoot from 30 yards out, the ball whistled with a strong external spin, the ball hit Blasi and changed direction, and the Italian international Buffon could not prevent the goal.

The two goals conceded may seem unrelated to the defender, however, the physical condition of the player determines his performance on the field. Thuram, Cannavaro, including Gianluigi Buffon, they are too tired.

Since 17 October, Juventus' centre-backs and goalkeepers have played almost all of the games, with the weekly double tournament pushing them to their physical limits. What's more, this week's midweek Champions League is still far away from Munich, and it can't be a test for veteran players such as Thuram and Cannavaro. Cannavaro's fatal clearance may have been right, but if it was when he was in good shape, he had time not to handle the ball so hastily. The same is true for the second goal, when the ball flies, the defender does not block it, but hits the body, which makes people feel that their reaction is sluggish, Buffon's reaction is half a beat slower, and when he is in good shape, he can completely change the direction of the save, but in the end Buffon did nothing.

Capello was not unreplaceable and Zebina was injured, and he found Billindelli and Pexoto, both of whom performed remarkably. In addition, Ferrara, Giuliano, Montero, including Lerotale, are not unusable. Lerotalie may not be entirely reassuring, but looking at the combination of Manchester United, Silvestre and Brown, it is immediately credible for the other on the pitch once Rio Ferdinand replaces one of them. Conversely, the experience of a veteran like Ferrara would be wasted if these people were left unused for a long time, and the maturity of a junior like Lerotalley would take much longer, but Capello just didn't use it.

Another hidden danger of fatigue is the midfield, and looking at the list of appearances in recent rounds, Camoranesi, Blasi, Nedved and Ibrahimovic up front have also played almost all the games. Relatively speaking, Juventus' midfield is relatively well-resourced, with eight midfielders getting the chance to play in recent rounds, and Capo almost contributed to Juventus in the match against Regina. The forward line was a little tight, with Trezeguet's injury leaving Capello with just three available, but Juventus haven't really created scoring chances since Thursday's game in Munich, with both goals linked to major mistakes. For a team that has temporarily led in both competitions, this cannot but be said to be a pity.

Not only Juventus, but also AC Milan and Inter Milan have encountered fatigue problems to varying degrees, and young players such as Adriano and Kaka are still in poor shape, not to mention the two veterans who are combined with age. Even if he is still in the top spot for the time being, Capello can't ignore the hidden dangers of fitness, and Real Madrid last season was the biggest example of the past. Fatigue, physical fitness, this is indeed a big problem that the big teams will face, and Fiorentina does not have such a problem, for a team like them, where to play, the Italian Cup can be completely unwanted, physical advantage, this is one of the biggest reliance of Fiorentina to Turin.

Fabio Capello is a gold medal coach, a master of defence, he turned defense into an art, and although some people say that Capello's football can make cows fall asleep, one thing is certain, and that is that it will not be easy for anyone to break through Capello's team.

However, due to the fatigue of the players, Capello's defence-oriented style of play may be tested.

Fiorentina's attacking power this season is extremely good, Chen Yu alone scored 16 goals, which is more than the total number of goals scored by Juventus' four major forwards, if it is normal, Capello has built this world-class defense line may be able to restrain Chen Yu's crazy momentum, but now with the fatigue of the Juventus backline, it may be difficult to resist Chen Yu, who is hot at gunpoint.

In addition, Fiorentina's second scorer Mikoli is now in full form, in the previous four rounds, Mikoli scored three goals, if it wasn't for Chen Yu being too crazy, Mikoli would definitely get more honor and praise.

What makes Capello and Juventus chill is that Mikoli left the Juventus team this season, at the last moment of the summer transfer, Capello decided to give up Mikoli, saying that there was no place for Mikoli in his lineup, so that he could find his own way, and finally Mikoli had to leave angrily, and at this moment to return to the Alp Stadium to challenge his old club, Mikoli will definitely burst out with twelve points of energy, for Capello and Juventus, a striker Mikoli who is very familiar with them, is more of a headache than a demon like Chen Yu.

There is no doubt that Juventus are not invulnerable, but compared to Juventus, Fiorentina have bigger problems and more holes.

There is one main reason why Fiorentina can achieve such an excellent record this season, and that is the outbreak of Chen Yu.

Scored 16 goals in 10 rounds, Chen Yu is a person who carries the purple lily on his shoulders and runs forward, the opponent can't stop the player who scored 50 goals in Serie B, and the strong attack makes up for the problem of player run-in, technical and tactical play, and the lack of experience of the head coach in Fiorentina. And because Chen Yu was established as the next captain early, leaving Di Livio behind, it also solved the problem of Fiorentina's dressing room, which was the root of Fiorentina's success in the first ten rounds.

But this is precisely Fiorentina's fate, if the opponent sees Chen Yu dead, Fiorentina's attack power will drop by three

In addition to Chen Yu, the biggest variable, Fiorentina when playing against a strong team, unable to attack for a long time, it is likely that some of the problems that were originally hidden will erupt, such as the experience of head coach Mondonico, Mondonico is known as an expert in the armor, but he has never instructed a top team, which is incomparable with Capello, the gold medal coach, at a critical moment in the game, a substitution may determine the outcome of the game.

Regardless, Fiorentina are now considered Juventus' title rivals, which is a success for a team that was dreaming of a top-four finish just before the season.
