Volume 1 Chapter 431 Continue to win big
The big win in the Champions League made the outside world forget that Fiorentina was forced to draw by Lazio in the seventh round of the league, but Fiorentina did not forget that it was because of this defeat that they were robbed of the top position by Juventus, and now in the face of Parma, which is similar to Lazio in strength, form, and history, Fiorentina is still very cautious.
Although he just played a fierce battle with Bremen in midweek, Prandelli did not make any changes to the starting lineup, and the formation was still 43 The starting LL man is still goalkeeper Frei, the back four: Maggio, Ujfarusi, Dainelli, Pancaro, three midfielders: Jorgensen, Donadaire, Fiore, three forwards: Chen Yu, Di Natale and Toney.
Parma, on the other hand, face second-placed Fiorentina away from home, and they are even more of a strong force and look like they are going to put in a bucket formation, ready to take a point away from the Stadio Frankie.
Fiorentina took advantage of the big win over Bremen and took advantage of the home field, launching a fierce attack on Parma from the opening game, trying to break through the door of Parma quickly, so that their dirty tactics of setting up an iron bucket formation could not be realized.
But Parma also came prepared, they got into the groove quickly, from the first minute, they adopted a tight zone and marking tactics against every Fiorentina attacking player, and also guarded against Fiorentina's back row and full-backs, Fiorentina opened the opening fifteen minutes without posing any lethal threat to Parma's backline.
Fifteen minutes later, in order to better distribute physical energy, and in order to lure the snake out of the hole, they slowed down the pace of attack, and deliberately conceded half of the midfield, hoping that Parma's players could attack, but Parma's players were not fooled, they still strictly adhered to their tactical principles formulated before the game, no matter how tempting Fiorentina was, they just couldn't come out.
Fiorentina has a strong center forward like Toni, and an all-round master like Chen Yu who can shoot from a distance and break through, but this does not mean that it will be easy to break through dense defenses. In fact, except for special teams such as Barcelona, most teams have players who break dense defense, but dense defense is still a problem at the world level, just like a football legend once said, it takes a little luck to break dense defense.
A big win in the Champions League seems to have exhausted Fiorentina's luck, the game played more than 30 minutes, Fiorentina occupied the absolute initiative on the field, possession of 73%, eight shots on goal, but never scored, not even the post, the ball was refracted on the defender, but it was refracted to the bottom line, not to the opponent's goal.
More than 30 minutes without scoring, Fiorentina's players are a little anxious, they are determined to score three points in this game, in the eighth round, Juventus plays Lecce, AC Milan plays Palermo, the probability of winning is very high, if Fiorentina can not get three points, the front will be thrown farther away by Juventus, and the back will be chased by Milan, which Fiorentina does not want to see, so three points are even more important to Fiorentina than Parma.
Prandelli in a suit stepped out of his seat, obviously, the stubbornness of the opponent surprised Prandelli, although he did not take the game lightly, but he was still surprised that he could not break through the opponent's goal for more than 30 minutes, Prandelli felt that he needed to come out and encourage his players.
"Pancaro, forward press, assist"
"Chen Yu strengthens long-range shots and crosses, reduces breakthroughs"
"Tony don't leave the box...... Di Natale has a bit more of a running range......"
Prandley has made changes to his team's style of play without making substitutions and hopes to use the change to change the situation on the pitch.
It should be said that Prandelli's adjustment is still very skillful, although Parma's dense defense has no absolute weakness, but Prandelli's move has strengthened his own attack, and when the attack is strong enough, the defense can be broken no matter how dense it is.
In the 38th minute of the game, Jorgensen broke through from the wing, and after full-back Pancaro came up, Jorgensen used the full-back as a cover to cross to the side of the penalty area.
Jorgensen's pass had a bit of an arc of external spin, and there were plenty of defenders and attacking players in the box, but goalkeeper Lupatelli didn't dare to attack, and Toni used his tall body to fend off Guerrera in the box and head home from six yards out in front of goal.
It's a bouncing ball
Goalkeeper Lupatelli didn't get the ball on the spot, but he followed the ball and Toney headed it in and he jumped to save it.
Toney's header today was not very powerful, but it bounced straight past goalkeeper Lupatelli.
Just as Lupatelli was in despair, but he did not hear the cheers, he turned his head and saw that the ball had not flown into the net, but had been blocked by the post and had fallen into the hands of his companion.
Fiorentina's attack was unsuccessful, Parma's defence was still in disarray, and the calm Mofeo immediately returned the color, and his long pass accurately found his striker Del Vecchio, allowing the strikers to attack the opponent's back line directly.
Parma's counter-attack was quick, and although the number of troops involved was small, the threat was not small, Del Vecchio headed the ball, Corradi chested the ball to midfielder Marchioni, and Marchioni followed up with a long-range shot that whistled towards the middle of the goal.
The angle of the ball is not very tricky, but the force is very large, the speed is very fast, goalkeeper Frei did not dare to be careless, and the ball was lifted out of the bottom line with both palms.
When Parma took a corner, the Fiorentina players felt the ambition of the opponent, they didn't just want to take a point from here, in the set-piece, they invested a lot of troops, not worried about Fiorentina's counterattack at all, this is not that they are not afraid, mainly because they are eager to score, weak team against strong team, set-piece has always been the most important means of scoring.
Fiorentina did not take Parma's full defence lightly, and although the opponent invested a lot of troops in set-pieces, Fiorentina did not give Parma a chance, and the ball was pushed out of the box by central defender Dainelli.
Fiorentina launched another wave of fierce attacks in the last ten minutes, and Parma also made several counter-attacks to relieve their defensive pressure or to sneak up on the attack, but neither side could achieve their goals in the first half, and had to rest for 15 minutes before resuming the battle.
Fifteen minutes of the break are very important for both sides, it is the best opportunity for the manager to have a direct influence on the players, once the game starts, the manager can only express his meaning through substitutions, but the players can understand very little, otherwise there will be no "captain is the team's coach on the field".
At half-time, Prandelli made a substitution, with Pasquier coming on for Pancaro and Pacini coming on for Di Natale.
The two substitutions were still considered from an offensive point of view, and Pasquier not only had the ability to assist better than Pancarro, but also scored two goals, which is a dazzling number among defenders.
As for Paccini's replacement of Di Natale, it is not about who is good or bad, mainly because Di Natale is closely watched by Parma, and he hopes that Pacini can bring some changes to the attack.
It is often said that substitutions are like changing knives, but sometimes substitutions may not necessarily make a difference, and Fiorentina's substitution of two people did not bring much improvement to the team's attack, and the anxious scene of the game continued.
In the VIP box in the stands
De La Valle peeked at the electronic scoreboard from time to time, and there was no change in the two above, which made him very disappointed, the time had reached 70 minutes, and the balance on the field could not be broken, which was incomparable with the hearty play of Lazio in the last game, and even the game when Fiorentina was forced to draw by Lazio could not be compared, and Fiorentina and Lazio scored U goals in the game.
Parma's president Sanz has always been calm, with a professional smile on his face, playing against a team like Fiorentina, or away, one point is enough to ⊥ him satisfied, he is not without ambition, but he is more rational.
At this time, even the Fiorentina fans were restless, and in addition to constantly encouraging their players with applause and shouts, they also kept using boos and insulting shouts to stimulate their opponents and force them to attack.
Probably deterred by Fiorentina's U: sweep of Bremen, Parma's tactics today were well executed, except for a large number of troops from set-pieces, and at other times they resolutely did not come out to meet them.
The stalemate lasted until the 75th minute, when Parma were awarded a free-kick and they committed a lot of force, but Del Vecchio's header was punched out by goalkeeper Frei and then Dainelli kicked the ball into the 30-metre area of Parma.
This was supposed to be a clearance without any threat, but Parma veteran Coto passed back to goalkeeper Lupatelli too lightly, Toney was rushing to the ball, saw that the opponent's defender was a little slow to return the ball, saw that he had hope of getting the ball, so he inserted it at high speed, broke the ball past goalkeeper Lupatelli, fell to the ground on the right side of the penalty area and shoveled into the net at a small angle, counting
"Ah, 75 minutes into a return pass, Parma, who have been leaking defensively, made a low-level mistake...... Toney seized the opportunity and scored Toney's U-goal ...... l:0
The commentator was already in a hurry, and immediately shouted when he saw the goal.
The entire stand also jumped up and cheered for the goal, they never thought it would be so difficult to score a goal this season, although now they still rely on the opponent's mistakes to score, but this did not affect the Fiorentina fans' joy at the goal, the cheers and continued, until the referee blew the whistle to start the game again.
When the game started again, Parma were not as patient as they used to be, because for them there was no point in defending and they had to attack to get better results.
Fiorentina was afraid of Parma's stubborn defense, and now that Parma has attacked, Fiorentina is relieved, of course, they will not shrink their defense, but will attack with Parma in the midfield and on the wing.
In the 78th minute, Parma's striker Bresciano broke through on the flank, he passed the ball into the box from the baseline, Corradi's header was crossed, and full-back Pasquale fell to the ground at the back post, but the ball was punched out by Frei, who played for Parma.
Parma created a goalscoring chance, while Fiorentina created more.
In the 79th minute, after Chen Yu crossed with Fiore in the middle, Chen Yu passed diagonally, Toni volleyed from a small angle, and the ball hit the side netting.
In the dU minute, Toney's header was crossed, and Chen Yu crossed two people in the middle to enter the box, but his shot was saved by goalkeeper Lupatelli, who knew him well.
In the first minute, Fiorentina scored again, this time by Fiore.
Pasquier crossed wide and Fiore volleyed in from 25 yards out, but the ball whizzed into the corner and left goalkeeper Lupatelli helpless.
The score of ∶0 has become that of a ∶0, and the ending seems to be impossible to change.
Fiore ran to the sidelines and hugged head coach Prandelli.
The radical fans in the stands also shook the fading singing again.
Sans in the VIP box couldn't sit still, and in less than ten minutes, everything changed, not a single point was gone, and the opponent scored two goals in a row. How can he be calm.
Sans stood at the window, staring at the court, his fists clenched, wondering what he was thinking.
Parma was not content to be defeated, although with only ten minutes left, Parma launched an onslaught.
Pasquale crossed from the side, Parma goalscorer Corradi rushed over to grab the point, Dainelli rushed over to clear the ball with a header, neither of them gave in, and finally Corradi and Dainelli's heads collided together, and the stretcher called Corradi and Dainelli to the sideline for treatment. After a few minutes of treatment on the sidelines, Dainelli was unavailable and Perland used Gambellini to replace him.
Parma were very good at taking advantage of the results, and seeing Fiorentina switch to a substitute centre-back, they immediately attacked Fiorentina in the middle. In the 84th minute of the game, Bresciano shot hard at the edge of the penalty area, and the ball hit defender Ujfarusi and bounced off the bottom line.
Mofeo sent a corner kick and Guerrera fired a low left-footed shot from 13 yards from goal, which was not very threatening, goalkeeper Frei had blocked the near corner, but Guerrera's shot was deflected off Donadale's leg and drilled under Frei's crotch into the near corner.
The goal was a major encouragement for Parma, who found themselves in a match against Fiorentina, who are known for their attack, and had a chance to score, and in the last ten minutes, coach Beretta decided to give it a go and let his team press in an attempt to equalise
Parma's initiative to attack when they are behind is not a wrong tactical choice, their mistake is to invest too many troops in the attack, so as to give Fiorentina too much space at the back, which is simply a paradise and paradise for Chen Yu, who is getting faster and faster.
In the 87th minute of the game, Fiore cooperated with Chen Yu in the middle, Chen Yu passed the ball to Fiore and ran away, Fiore hit the ball behind Parma's central defenders, Tony in front reflexively chased after him, and the two central defenders closed the door to the middle, closing Tony behind.
Parma's back line thought that the crisis was solved, but they didn't expect Chen Yu to plug in at high speed, run past the two central defenders, and poke the ball before goalkeeper Lupatelli, the ball flew past Lupatelli's side, Chen Yu accelerated again, grabbed the ball before it went out of the bottom line, and then shot successfully at a very small angle
After scoring the goal, Chen Yu raised his two hands and raised his index and middle fingers to make a gesture of victory.
At this moment, Chen Yu expanded the score to a two-goal gap, and basically the victory was confirmed, and the fans could celebrate with confidence.
“… Chen Chen Chen scored the ninth goal, which was Chen's ninth goal and nine goals in eight games, and it is not an exaggeration to call Chen a goal machine...... Fiorentina are very lucky to have Chen and Toney, and now the two have scored nine goals and the other have scored U-goals, which is truly a peerless double in attack...... With a win over Parma, we can sit back and wait for Juventus and Milan and hopefully they both lose...... Shout at me, Chen Chen Chen ......"
The on-site commentator continued to stimulate the nerves of the fans on the spot, and the fans on the scene also cheered loudly with the commentator, and the whole stadium had begun to celebrate in advance at this moment.
There are six minutes left in stoppage time, these six minutes, Parma did not give up hope of equalizing, Fiorentina did not give up the idea of scoring, Toni has three goals less than Chen Yu, he is trying to catch up, Pacini is easy to get a chance at half-time, he also wants to work hard to perform, hoping to be appreciated by the coach
In the 90th minute of the game, Di Loretto, who wanted to score, passed straight from the back, Fiore knocked back with his back, Jorgensen stuffed the ball to Fiore again, Fiore took two steps and passed diagonally to the ribs, which was a blank position, but substitute striker Pacini didn't know where the road came from, he got the ball in the ribs of the big penalty area, adjusted, and fired a left-footed volley from 15 meters into the upper right corner of the net
Paccini's goal sealed the win, and in the remaining three minutes of stoppage time, neither Fiorentina nor Parma had the heart to score, and both sides were more on the pitch, and the last three minutes were not even at the level of a friendly match.
Fiorentina beat Parma 4:l at home, temporarily topped the standings with a draw, and if Juventus can't beat Lecce tomorrow, Fiorentina will regain the top spot.
