Chapter 1220: A Strong Enemy?
PS1: Today's update is sent, I hope you don't care too much about the update time, and I promise that I won't break the update......
PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.
On the night of 2 November, the Stade Franky was packed, with nearly 30,000 Fiorentina fans filling three of the stands, leaving only a small and remote corner for Juventus fans from afar.
In fact, Fiorentina fans are keen to fill all four stands in order to put more pressure on their opponents during the game. Unfortunately, the ongoing expansion of the Frankie Stadium has put an end to this plan and has also reduced the psychological pressure on the Juventus players - in Italy, the atmosphere at the Frankie Stadium is still terrifying, the slightly more psychologically fragile players can easily be intimidated, and the well-informed stars will be somewhat disturbed and unable to play their best in the game.
Therefore, Juventus is quite fortunate that nearly 10,000 Fiorentina fans cannot be there to cheer. After all, the treatment they enjoy in this stadium can be said to be of the highest standard, so the reduction in the number of home fans will allow them to play with a more relaxed mindset.
You know, in order to satirize this sworn enemy who has caused countless troubles to the Purple Lily on and off the field, Fiorentina fans have written a lot of jokes and songs, which are specially used in the team's match with Juventus, and its effect on the mental blow of Juventus players can be said to be immediate, especially for players such as Iuliano, Taccinadi and Davies, who defected to Juventus from Fiorentina. Therefore, after learning the news, the mood of the Juventus players can be described as such.
Now here is an introduction to the starting line-up of the two teams for this game, on the side of the away team Juventus, Lippi put out the most commonly used four-four-two formation: goalkeeper Frei, Grosso, Montero, Iuliano and Thuram four-man partner defense, Tacinadi and Davies as double midfielders, Nedved and Camoranesi built the two wings of the Bianconeri on the left and right, and the forward line is the combination of Trezeguet and Pierrot, which has an eye-catching performance at the beginning of the season Di Vaio returned to the bench with Prince Bianconeri returning from injury, waiting for his chance.
Overall, Juventus' main squad has not changed in any way compared to last season, except that it is a year older in terms of average age. Therefore, many people are not optimistic that the Bianconeri can make a difference in Serie A this season, at most to qualify for the Champions League at the end of the season, and it is obviously unlikely that they will compete for the title with those opponents who have strengthened the squad.
Of course, those Juventus brain-dead fans will never admit this. They insist that Juventus' approach would be a better way to keep the dressing room stable, more tacit than those who have been moving around in the transfer market, and will be able to play a stronger role. Therefore, now this Juventus team is definitely the biggest favorite to win the Serie A title this season!
Regarding the self-deceptive remarks of these Juventus fans, Zhuang Mingge can only say hehe. After all, people can even say this kind of thing, if he is more serious with these people, wouldn't he lower his IQ to the same level as the other party?
In fact, Juventus did not try to strengthen the team squad this summer, but Mo Lao Fox, who has always shown a shrewd image, has planted several big heels in the transfer market this time, and the new signings such as Lerotale and Appiah have not performed well in the new season. The former, once hailed as the "new Nesta", has now been caricatured by Juventus fans and the Italian media as a slow super colander, another major failure in the transfer market; Although the latter is brave and fierce enough on the field, people can vaguely see the shadow of Tacchinadi and Davis when they first debuted, but there are also many shortcomings, and judging from his age, talent and training attitude, the ceiling of this Ghanaian midfielder is probably just another Di Biagio at most.
After talking about Juventus's starting list, let's take a look at Fiorentina's lineup. The goalkeeper naturally doesn't need to be elaborated too much, everyone knows that this position must belong to Buffon if nothing else; At the back, Nesta and Stam partnered in central defence, Lucio, who is prone to dislocation, sat on the bench to watch the game, and the left and right wing-backs were Zivo and Zambrotta respectively. In midfield, the starting trio of Claude Makellele, Andrea Pirlo and Ballack can be said to be both offensive and defensive, this combination of technique and body is enough to counter Juve's muscle-flowing midfield, and if necessary, Albertini, Gattuso, De Rossi and others on the bench can also be on top at any time to add new changes to Fiorentina; Up front, Vieri, who played the full game against Sampdoria, was replaced by Italy's new international Diego Milito, who will partner Vincent in the attack for Fiorentina.
Not long after the players from both sides walked out of the tunnel, the game was officially opened at the referee's whistle. The Fiorentina players who kicked off first took advantage of the home field and launched an attack towards the gate of Juventus with the cheers of 30,000 Fiorentina fans!
Out of prudence, under the command of Andrea Pirlo, Fiorentina's attack in the opening game was not violent, but more to test Juventus' defensive intensity, and was ready to determine the next plan of action based on this.
"Huh? It's weird. After receiving Pirlo's through ball with his back, Diego Milito habitually arched back to avoid Montero from pounce on him to interfere with his next move. However, at this moment, he was surprised to find that Montero, who was supposed to come forward to defend at the first time, did not appear behind him.
Immediately after, Milito swept the corner of his eye and was stunned to find that Montero was at least five meters away from him at this time!
me, what is this guy doing? I've run to this position, and I don't even come to defend?
Although he was very puzzled by Juventus's lax defensive intensity, as a professional player, Milito didn't think too much about it, and turned around cleanly to break through the defense zone in charge of Montero, who was not in time, and burst into the penalty area, and then grabbed the opponent's goalkeeper to shoot directly into the far corner of the goal before the opponent's goalkeeper attacked!
Due to the position too close to the near side of the goal, and Montero's leakage was too unexpected, Frei could not be said to have a whip for Milito's shot, and could only watch the ball fly into the net, 1-0!
In this way, just six minutes after the opening whistle, Fiorentina scored the first goal thanks to a surprise attack by Milito!
