Fiorentina's counterattack fully showed the lack of experience of Pierrot and Otero, if it was Ravanelli or Vialli who was by Toldo's side just now, they would definitely not withdraw from the penalty area immediately after seeing the ball saved by the opposing goalkeeper, but would interfere with Toldo's side, so that the teammates behind him had enough time to retreat to their own half to organize the defense and guard against Fiorentina's quick counterattack.

So, when Pierrot and Otero withdrew from the box as soon as their goal-end attempts failed to work, Juventus had effectively handed over the initiative of the game to the Fiorentina.

After getting the ball, Ronaldo did not stop at all, and even the sprint speed did not slow down, so he took the ball in such a big stride and went straight to the goal of Juventus!

Since Torricelli and Pexoto had already rushed across the midfield line to participate in the attack, when Fiorentina began to counterattack, the only four players that Juventus could mobilize were two midfielders and two central defenders; And the only players that Fiorentina put into the counterattack for the first time were Vieri and Ronaldo......

Judging purely from the comparison of this number, the Bianconeri's shape is not so bad.

But let's not forget that although Juventus have more defenders, Blanc, who is closest to Ronaldo, is also three or four meters away from the alien at this time, and the distance between the two is widening over time.

Blanc is a very good defender, and the experience he has accumulated over the years has made him more sophisticated in terms of positioning and judging the ball, but his age has not put him on par with the young Ronaldo in terms of speed.

Hawkers, although even if Blank is ten years younger, he can't catch up with the current Ronaldo, although the speed of the aliens at their peak is not as rebellious as Owen and Henry, but it is not something that these defenders can easily chase.

Montero tried to get back to his defense, but he was entangled by Vieri, who kept blocking his path with his body during the run, leaving him unable to go full throttle.

As a result, Blanc and Montero could only watch as Ronaldo rushed into the team's penalty area with the ball.

After rushing into the penalty area with the ball, Ronaldo did not give Peruzzi another chance to block his shooting angle, nor did he do any feints to try to deceive the opponent, but picked up his right foot in the run and hit the goal directly!

The ball raced towards the near corner of the goal, and although Peruzzi, sensing Ronaldo's intentions, immediately made a move to the ground and stretched his arms as long as he could to touch the ball, his efforts were ultimately useless.

“Goooooooal！ Two to zero! It was Ronaldo who scored the goal! Fiorentina extended their lead in the 23rd minute of the first half thanks to an alien goal! Juventus are in a dangerous situation right now, and if Lippi can't find a way to recover the two-goal gap, I'm afraid that when Corina blows the final whistle, the Bianconeri will be greeted with a painful defeat. ”

Lippi on the sidelines was of course aware of this, but instead of ordering the players to attack Fiorentina's goal immediately, as the commentator had expected, he directed the Juventus players on the pitch to tighten the fence, stabilize their positions, and resume positional warfare!

However, the Bianconeri's attack has weakened a lot compared to before the goal, and Pexoto has started to stay more involved in the defense than to press the assists, in order to better guard against Fiorentina's quick counter-attacks.

Lippi's move puzzled the commentators, after all, Juventus is now two goals behind, and taking the initiative to weaken the attack is tantamount to handing over the victory of the game to the Fiorentina...... Could it be that just over twenty minutes into the game, Lippi was about to give up the game?

And Capello nodded secretly after seeing Lippi's action, and said in his heart that this opponent is really not simple, and he can still recognize the current shape in the unfavorable situation of falling behind by two goals, and realize that with Juventus's current player configuration, it is unrealistic to want to break through the Fiorentina goal through the guò positional battle.

Although Zinedine Zidane had a good chance to score before, it was more because the Frenchman's lateral movement led Redondo, Davies and Zambrotta away from their defensive positions at the same time, creating a good chance, a fortuitous phenomenon that was clearly inaccurate in Lippi's eyes.

Lippi knows that Juve's biggest problem in attack at this time is that their attack is not enough layer, if Pierrot and Otero are the first line of attack, then the only players behind them who can follow to form a second line of attack are Zidane and Di Livio. If Di Liviola were to attack on the wing, Zidane would be the only player left to attack - Deschamps and Tacinadi were quite good defensively, but they were too good to shoot from distance.

Therefore, Lippi chose to defend solidly first and delay the rest of the first half, waiting until half-time to make targeted changes to the team. Although Lippi can also take the initiative to make substitutions in the first half, if he does so, it will definitely cause the dissatisfaction of the player who was substituted, which Lippi does not want to see; And doing so is equivalent to Lippi himself slapping himself in the face, admitting that his pre-match arrangement has no way to deal with the Fiorentina team in front of him, which is what Lippi does not want to see!

After talking about the adjustment on Lippi's side, let's look at Capello's side again. I saw that the gold medal coach also made a gesture on the sidelines, and then the Fiorentina side also began to shrink the formation, except for Vieri and Ronaldo, the rest of the men withdrew to their own half to participate in the defense.

Fiorentina, who led the score, did not take the initiative to attack, and Juventus began to tighten the fence to reduce the number of attacking troops, in this situation, the game began to become dull, and the fans sitting in front of the TV could not help but be a little drowsy under the infection of this atmosphere.

In this way, Fiorentina ended the first half with a 2-0 advantage.

"Haha, Manager Moggie, it looks like our Fiorentina will win the game this time." Taking advantage of the free time of the halftime, Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in the VIP box watching the game, couldn't help but get up in front of Mo Lao Fox.

"Chairman Corleone, it's a bit premature for you to say that" Having said that, Moggie still felt very uncomfortable in his heart, after all, it was not a good feeling to lose face. Therefore, Mo Lao Fox also began to be dissatisfied with the head coach Lippi, who has always been supportive, and said in his heart, why don't you just give Lao Tzu me face like this!
