Volume 1 Chapter 383 First Victory (II)

The air defense of the Fiorentina defenders is very strong, Chen Yu and Toney can come back to defend when the opponent sends a set-piece, both of them are at the level of air hegemony, so when Sampdoria's core Fraki sent this free kick, the Fiorentina players thought that Sampdoria could not make any trouble for them on the set-piece, and they were a little careless, but they didn't expect Fraki to send a half-high ball, Pancaro in front leaked the ball, and Bonazzoli, who was outflanked at the front point, dived and bombed, A lion shakes its head and hits the ball against the crossbar.

Bonazzoli's header gave the Fiorentina players a lot of shock, and they understood that the gap between the two sides is very small, and if this goal is scored, Fiorentina, who dominated the first half, is likely to be equalized by their opponents, and in competitive football, the result is everything, and the advantage is just the icing on the cake

In the last few minutes of the first half, Fiorentina cheered up and tried to be as conservative as possible when attacking, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, and trying to maintain the lead achieved in the first half.

Fiorentina were already dominant, they focused on the back, and Sampdoria had few chances to sneak up, and the score of L:0 was maintained until the end of the first half.

Back in the dressing room, Fiorentina manager Prandelli highlighted Bonazzoli's crossbar.

“…… Bonazzoli shouldn't have had that chance to shoot at all, as a defender, you can't make any mistakes, or do your best to avoid unnecessary mistakes, because one mistake can cause a goal to be conceded, and in a football game, the most common games are under three goals, which means that if you make a mistake, we have a 30 per cent chance of losing. ”

Fiorentina's defenders were silent, they all knew that the manager was right, they had just been a little careless.

Prandelli continued: "...... The first half was generally good, Sampdoria was not weak, we were able to suppress them in 45 minutes and take a one-goal lead, it was not an easy task, but the second half was certainly not so easy, Novelino is by no means a man to be slaughtered, Sampdoria is not without the ability to fight back, in the second half we have to concentrate and fight against them with all our strength to try to win the first win of the new season.

In the dressing room of the visiting team, Sampdoria's coach Novelino did not blame his players, on the contrary, he thought that the score of the first half was expected by him, Fiorentina was third last season, and the teams that can beat Inter Milan are not idle, are they playing at home again, the form is fine, and it is too normal to lead Sampdoria by L goals.

However, Novellino is not prepared to accept this defeat, even if he is playing away from home, he will try to equalise until the comeback is completed.

At half-time, Novellino made a decisive substitution, replacing left midfielder Zauli with striker Kutuzov, and the attacking combination of three forwards was released to increase the pressure on the Fiorentina backline.

Novellino is an experienced coach and his substitution had an immediate effect, with Kutuzov coming on and Sampdoria stepping up their pressing, with the front three putting pressure on the opposition defence far more than the double striker, and Fiorentina in the back of the pitch in danger of falling to the back, using more mid-length passes and high balls.

The team's three lines are a closely connected whole, interlocking, the back line passes the ball high, the central midfield is a little more troublesome, the longer the opponent can predict and defend, under the opponent's defense, it will be difficult for Fiorentina's frontcourt players to get good shooting opportunities.

Fiorentina's young coach Prandelli saw that the situation could be reversed, and he also made a quick decision, immediately replacing midfielder Donader with striker Di Natale to strengthen the attack.

I have to say that Prandelli's use of troops is really bold and active, in the case of leading L:0, just because the opponent's attack is more powerful, he replaced a defensive back and replaced a striker.

Di Natale's substitution has also changed Fiorentina's formation, which was originally nominally 44, but it has become 45I when it comes to play, and now after Donadale is replaced by Di Natale, Fiorentina's formation has also become 43, Toni is in the center, and Di Natale and Chen Yuju play wingers on the left and right.

Unlike the ordinary 433, Fiorentina's 433's two wingers, Chen Yu and Di Natale, are both all-rounders, who can break through and cross on the wing, and shoot when they enter the penalty area.

Such a configuration quickly gave Sampdoria a taste of pants.

In the 55th minute of the game, Fiorentina launched a counterattack, Chen Yu was watched very tightly along the way, Chen Yu was unwilling to risk and the opponent's multi-person package to resist, he handed over a long pass to another winger, Di Natale, let Di Natale deal with the weak defense of the left wing.

On the pitch, no matter how it changes, the two sides will end up with only one man at most, with Sampdoria putting more defenders on the right and no more on the left, only less.

Di Natale was much less hampered, as he broke down the flanks and instead of passing to the opposition's heavily defended central box, he instead passed back to his own playmaker, Fiore.

Di Natale's pass was a bit of a surprise, but Fiore's move surprised the Sampdorians even more, showing the imagination and delicate sense of the ball that is rare in the Italian.

Fiore slotted the ball towards the penalty area, and the ball reached almost the only open space in the chaotic box, and this empty space was right on Tony's running line.

There are so many people in the penalty area, Tony handles the ball a lot faster, although compared with other players in the front court, Toney's Serie A is more experienced and less, but like Chen Yu, a genius does not need to learn step by step, after Tony catches up with the ball, the first step is to shoot.

Toney's shot was tricky, not into the near corner of the net, but into the far corner.

In fact, there are so many people in the penalty area, shooting the near corner is the most suitable, and shooting the far corner is the most difficult.

However, it was this reverse thinking that defeated Antonioli, who had previously performed extremely bravely.

Goalkeeper Antonioli did not play directly, but he has been observing the opponent's forward running and the situation inside and outside the penalty area, before Tony shot, although Antonioli did not prepare in advance, and the time was very sudden, but he had a hunch that Tony would play the near corner, subconsciously made a movement, and when he saw Toni stab the far corner, Antonioli could not change his body, he could only watch the ball roll past his feet, and flew into the net against the far post.

∶0

After the goal, Tony was so excited that he spread his arms and flew to the stands, yelling: "I went in and I lost Antonio"

This is indeed something to be proud of, Tony has tried many times before, but no matter how exquisite his shot is, it has been saved by this 36-year-old guy, and the average striker will lose patience and confidence in this situation, however, Chen Yu's goal to beat Antonioli gave Tony confidence and stimulation, "Chen can do it, I can't do anything for Lu", this is the psychology, plus Tony is also a late bloomer, and his psychological quality is excellent, so he seized it again when the opportunity came.

The fans in the stands cheered and soared into the sky, and the applause rang out almost simultaneously with the shouts, and the thunderous applause filled almost the entire sky.

“aIaIaI…… Tony Luca. Toney he scored his second goal for Fiorentina and his first for Fiorentina and it sealed the win......"

The commentator at the scene waved his arms again and stood up, and he yelled desperately at the stadium, guiding the fans to push the cheers to the peak again and again.

Prandley rushed out of the dugout for the second time, clapping vigorously and shouting, "Tony, you're good." ”

Prandelli couldn't be unhappy, the team was one of the winners, Toney's goal was a big plus, for the strikers, the first goal is always hard to come by, with the first, the second and third will follow.

Novelino, who was in the coach's box, buried his head deeply in his hands when Toni scored, with a painful face, and at the moment when the ball went into the net, Novelino understood that they lost this away game with Fiorentina.

In the VIP box, De La Valle and manager Lu Casey high-fived together, and De La Valle said: "This money has not been spent in vain. ”

Lu Casey was a little embarrassed, and reluctantly smiled: "Chairman, no penny is spent in vain, as long as you want, you can even buy people's souls." ”

De La Valle laughed and said: "You always have a point, but Toni is good, transfers are like that, you can't make every money, but as long as there is a successful business, we win." ”

Lu Casey smiled and touched his chin, "What the chairman said is that we have won. ”

on the pitch

The game continued after kick-off, Sampdoria who were two goals behind had no way back, and the coach Novellino commanded the team to attack, but Fiorentina at this time, already in control, and the Sampdoria players were also full of confidence, they slowly tortured the opponent, and were ready to fight back at any time.

Ten minutes later, Novellino made another substitution, Edusei was replaced by Pisano, striker Bonazzoli was replaced by young striker Boreno, Novellino made two substitutions in a row, and after these two people were replaced, Novellino no longer had any hole cards, and could only watch these players on the field compete with their opponents.

Prandelli was not weak, he did not defend at this time, but replaced Jorgensen with Montolivo and continued to attack and try to score more goals.

However, the desperate Sampdoria began to gain a bigger advantage, and in the UU minute, Vladki combined with Borriello and the new Belarusian striker Kutuzov hit the crossbar with a left-footed shot from the meter in front of goal. In the first minute, Zenoni crossed diagonally from the right, and Kutuzov shook his head 8 meters from the goal but it was high. In the 71st minute, Sampdoria core Vladki took a corner kick, Borriello grabbed the landing spot from the yard in front of goal, and his header went just wide of the right post.

Sampdoria's attack caused the Fiorentinans a little panic, but it also fueled their fighting spirits once again.

In the 75th minute, Fiore crossed from the left side of the penalty area, Chen Yu didn't know when he cruied to the middle, under the pressure of the defender, Chen Yu entered the penalty area, 10 meters in front of the goal, right-footed control, a flick, left-footed volley, but the ball was slightly above the crossbar.

In the 78th minute, Montolivo broke through the middle and distributed the ball 17 meters in front of the goal, Chen Yu pulled his foot in the corner of the big penalty area and shot angrily, but the ball hit Toni's body and changed the line, and the ball deflected off the left post, making all the Fiorentinas sigh.

Fiorentina didn't take advantage of a good chance, and only seconds later, Fiorentina goalkeeper Antonioli made a long pass, and Fiorentina midfielder Diana volleyed a right-footed volley into the right side of the goal from the meter in front of goal to put the score into account.

This is an absolute worldly wave

After the goal, Diana ran like crazy in front of the stands, the reporters all turned their cameras on him, and the few Sampdoria fans in the stands were shouting at him like crazy, as if they had equalised.

The opponent is celebrating, Chen Yu is comforting and encouraging his teammates, the opponent's shot is very beautiful, and it also boosts their morale and extinguishes their prestige in this aspect.

'Don't worry we're still ahead, we have more chances than them and you can see soon that we're going to score the third goal'

Chen Yu's words were simple, but effective, the players were more willing to obey his words than to the manager's words, and when the game started again, Fiorentina stepped up their attack again.

In the 79th minute, Fiorentina right-back Maggio made a long pass over the top in the middle, Chen Yu stepped forward with lightning speed, he shook off all the Sampdorians to form a single knife, and when Chen Yu was diagonally inserted from the side to the middle, Chen Yu was about to shoot, but was pulled down by Sampdoria central defender Castellini behind him.

It was a very clear and effective foul and it was in the box. Referee DeSantis showed Castellini a yellow card and then awarded a penalty.

There were cheers in the stands, this time shouting Chen Yu's name, they hoped that Chen Yu could take the penalty and lock the win, it was too shocking to watch just now, Fiorentina fans now want to calm down and enjoy the game and life.

Chen Yu did not fake others, personally took the penalty, and in the face of the calm old goalkeeper Antonioli, Chen Yu won again, he hit the ball into the bottom left corner, but Antonioli pounced on the bottom right corner......

The victory of the game was basically no suspense, and the miracle did not happen so well. In the last 10 minutes, Sampdoria made a number of attacks, but none of them could break through the Fiorentina defence, and at the end of the day, they had to accept an away score of L:3.

The match between Fiorentina and Sampdoria was the second match in Serie A, with Livorno beating Lecce Pepper before Fiorentina and the remaining eight games were to be completed.

Among the top three in Serie A, Juventus is still tepid, defeating Filučevo 0, Inter Milan defeated Treviso 3:0, and the ambitious AC Milan was forced to draw by promoted Ascoli away, becoming the biggest upset in this round.

In the remaining matches, Roma beat Reggina 3-0 and Fiorentina's side Siena beat Cagliari, which led to the Cagliari boss being sacked in the first round.

Another match with Chinese players, Empoli and Udinese, the last promoted horses did not create a miracle like Ascoli, they were easily defeated by Udinese, fifth place last season, 3:0, Goofy took his first step in Serie A with difficulty, and the veteran Rigano who transferred to Empoli from Fiorentina was also able to score.

In the other two games, Lazio beat Messio L:0 and Parma were held to a draw by Palermo.

After the first round of Serie A, Roma, Inter Milan and Udinese are tied for first place in the table on goal difference, Fiorentina is fourth, Juventus is in seventh and AC Milan is only ninth.

Judging from the evaluation of 71 key data of midfield and backfield players after the first round, Inter Milan's players have a large advantage, and there is no shortage of "hidden dragon and crouching tiger" in some weak teams.

Totti was the standout on eight occasions when it came to passing threats, while he assisted two of his three goals against Reggina and led the assist charts after the opening round of the league.

In the passing charts, Veron, who has only played 70 minutes, became the player with the most passes in this round with 77 passes, reflecting a greater advantage in this regard, followed by Juventus' Patrick Vieira with 75.

In terms of pass success rate, Udinese's defender Natali unexpectedly finished with 94. No. 3, he made 53 passes in 90 minutes, 50 of which were successful, but most of them were short passes and had little gold content, compared to Udinese midfielder Muntari (83), who ranked second, and Vieira (75, with a higher gold content) in third place. It is worth mentioning that AC Milan's Kaka, in such conditions, the pass success rate has reached a good rate. , and the other midfielders in that game had a pass completion rate of about 0% of UUs.

In terms of accurate passes up front, Veron is first with 46, Vieira and Sampdoria's Tonetto are tied for second with 4l each, and Totti and Messina's Donati are tied with 35 each.

In terms of defensive statistics, Livorno's midfielder Ruotolo topped the "tackle list" with successful tackles, followed by the second
