With ten goals in his last six appearances, Inzaghi's goalscoring efficiency during this period has put all strikers to shame. Although it is not uncommon for those first-class strikers to score twenty or thirty goals in a season, it is possible to score a hat-trick or even score five yuan in a game once in a while, but it is extremely rare for a player like Inzaghi to burst out with super scoring firepower in a certain period of time.
Of course, to everyone's surprise, this is just an appetizer for Inzaghi's crazy goalscoring performance. Next, a series of surprises await them!
On March 7, the second leg of the quarter-final match between Fiorentina and Bremen was played at the Stade Franqui. In the case of a 3-2 win in the first meeting, Bremen coach Schaaf did not focus on defending and counterattacking in this game as expected by the outside media, but insisted on their usual attacking football play!
Schaaf's surprise arrangement really caught Mourinho off guard, and the Portuguese did not expect that the opponent would continue to attack despite a narrow 3-2 win in the first leg, rather than defending and counter-attacking to save their hard-won victory. As a result, after the start of the game, Fiorentina, who was not psychologically prepared for this situation, naturally suffered a big loss.
In the thirteenth minute of the game, Bremen quickly moved the ball to the left side of the pitch in the attack, Schulz, who was inserted along the left side, took the ball and played a standard wall-to-wall combination with Borowski, who moved to the middle, to break through Zambrotta's defense, and then sent a through ball without adjustment, passing the ball to Miku who cut in from the left rib of the Fiorentina defense. The Frenchman successfully countered offside and received the ball into the Fiorentina penalty area on the left, facing Buffon, who was attacking to block the angle of the shot, and calmly fired a right-footed shot into the far corner of the goal from nine meters in front of the goal!
1 to 0! Bremen scored with their first shot on target of the game!
After Miku opened the scoring for Bremen, Fiorentina's promotion situation can be described as very bad. Because at this time, the total score of the two sides in the two legs has become four to two. This means that Fiorentina will have to score two goals in the next few years if they want to make a comeback at home, and they must not be scored again!
And Fiorentina's unexpected backwardness on the field also shows to a certain extent that Mourinho still has a lot of weaknesses - although he was carefully guided by famous coaches such as Robson, Capello, and Heynckes before his debut, and Mourinho himself is quite talented in coaching, but as a manager, the Portuguese is still too inexperienced, so that he will make some mistakes due to lack of experience in the long season.
However, despite suffering a dark loss due to lack of preparation, Fiorentina's overall strength is still better than Bremen's after all, plus the Purple Lily is playing at home this time, and the Parrot Army's form today is also quite average (otherwise they can't beat Fiorentina by surprise and didn't shoot on target for the first time until the thirteenth minute). Therefore, as time went on, Fiorentina, who had adjusted from the blow of conceding the goal, began to gradually grasp the initiative of the game and frequently created threats in front of the Bremen goal!
However, Fiorentina, who suppressed Bremen with their attack, soon encountered a new problem, that is, Bremen's starting goalkeeper Tim Wiese, who was in great form today!
In the face of Fiorentina's ferocious attack, the young goalkeeper made high and low blocks in the game, and tried his best to keep the door open when the team's back line continued to cheat, and kept the opponent's shots out of the door again and again!
Seeing that the team was unable to score for a long time, and the game time was passing by minute and second, Mourinho had to make substitution adjustments, replacing Inzaghi, who has been in great form recently, and let him and Milito partner in the front line and play a double striker!
The effect of Mourinho's substitution adjustment can be said to be immediate. Just three minutes after coming on the pitch, Inzaghi helped Fiorentina equalize - in the 65th minute of the game, Vincent received a long pass from Pirlo's back and forced an overtaking cross, Milito in the middle stopped the ball with his back, and then picked up Vincent who cut into the left rib of the penalty area, who attracted the attention of the Bremen defenders and crossed the ball back to the middle, and the follow-up big Inzaghi hit a low right-footed shot from eight meters in front of the goal, 1-1!
Then, as the game was about to enter stoppage time, Inzaghi made another contribution for Fiorentina - Ballack's sudden cold arrow from outside the box caused Wieze to save the ball, and Inzaghi cleverly scored from five meters in front of goal to help Fiorentina take the lead in the final moments!
In the end, with Inzaghi's brace, Fiorentina defeated Bremen 2-1 at home in a thrilling way, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League with more away goals after the two-legged aggregate score was drawn!
In the two legs, Inzaghi, who scored all four goals for Fiorentina, was praised by countless people after the game, believing that although the former Serie A Golden Boot is entering the late stage of his career, he is far from quitting the top scorer. In particular, Inzaghi's style of play, which does not pursue physical confrontation, but looks for scoring opportunities through running without the ball, and his extremely keen sense of smell in front of goal, can obviously allow him to maintain a fairly high scoring efficiency even after his physical fitness has declined!
As expected, after scoring two goals to help Fiorentina knock out Bremen, Inzaghi, who had Mourinho's full trust, played in three consecutive league games before the Champions League quarter-finals, winning every game. Especially in Fiorentina's 4-2 win over AC Milan in the 31st round of the league, Inzaghi even scored a hat-trick at the San Siro Stadium!
However, just when Inzaghi ignited the passion and nostalgia in the hearts of countless fans with his crazy goal performance, Capello, the current head coach of the Italian national team, was in a happy trouble.
