Chapter 35 of "Jiagen Supplement Jihua".

There should be a third watch in the evening, around 10 o'clock......

After the start of the game, Zaragoza, who took the lead in kick-off, played the characteristics of the Spanish team, using the player's jishu to play the ball control tactics and advancing to Fiorentina's half through continuous passing.

Fiorentina's players started to set up a defensive line from the midfield, creating obstacles for the Spaniards' attack, and were ready to use the Italian team's housekeeping tactics to defend and counterattack to make the Spaniards drink a pot.

"Tony, what do you think is the weakest point in Zaragoza?"

'I think it's their starting right-back, Marcos Cafu.

"Huh? Isn't Cafu the main right-back of the Brazilian national team? I remember in the Toyota Cup in '93, when he was still playing in Sao Paulo, and this player was a mess for AC Milan's defence. ”

"Hehe, you're right, but Cafu's performances in Sao Paulo and Brazil are very different from his current form in Zaragoza."

In Zhuang Mingge's impression, among the 11 Zaragoza players on the field now, only right wingback Cafu and Uruguayan midfielder Poyete have made a difference, and Cafu's season in Zaragoza has not been happy - originally his advantages are speed, strong assists, one-on-one defense and return defense awareness are relatively poor, but because he has extremely abundant physical fitness, he can ensure that he can pack a whole right side alone. Therefore, whether he is in Sao Paulo or the Brazilian national team, he is an attacking weapon that the team relies on.

However, in Zaragoza, Cafu's greatest strength was not realised, as Mohamed Naee, who was standing in front of him, deprived him of the power to provide assists from the right - a tactic that was not very popular at full-back in European football at the time, and the Zaragoza manager was clearly not as open as he was in Brazil to allow Cafu to play freely.

The offensive advantage could not be brought into play, and as a result, Cafu's shortcomings on the defensive end were infinitely magnified. As a result, the historical Cafu spent only one year in Zaragoza before being forced to return to Brazil at the end of the season because he was not used to the team's tactics, and after two years in Brazil to rebuild his confidence, he met the famous coach Fabio Capello after joining Roma, where he was developed into a Shijie right-back.

The current Cafu can't attack or defend in the Zaragoza team, and his position is extremely embarrassing, which can be said to be the biggest weakness in the Zaragoza defense.

"Therefore, Cafu in Zaragoza is the equivalent of a tiger with its teeth removed, with no advantages, but the disadvantages are exposed."

Claudio Ranieri was clearly meticulous in his pre-match preparations, noting Cafu's awkward position in the Zaragoza squad and making a special arrangement for it.

So in the game, Effenberg, who has a good sense of the overall situation, frequently split the ball to Djokaeff on the left and Lanna on the wing, and then the two of them directly attacked the right side of the defense guarded by Cafu.

In addition, many of Fiorentina's attacks are counter-attacks based on Zaragoza's passing errors, so Cafu often directly faces more than one Fiorentina attacking player, which makes it even more difficult for him to defend.

As a result, just in the eighth minute of the game, Naim was stealing the ball on the right and being tackled by Lanna, who then drove from the wing into the Zaragoza half, and after attracting Cafu, Lanna made a diagonal pass to Djokaf on the right!

"Great opportunity in Florence! Cafu's up-and-go was too reckless, and Zaragoza's right side is now completely unguarded! ”

Djokaef did not hesitate after receiving the pass, cut inside with the ball and rushed into the Zaragoza penalty area!

Seeing Djokaavne cut into his own box, Zaragoza's centre-back had to come in and stop him, while also being careful with his defensive moves, and the Frenchman certainly wouldn't mind showing off his acting skills if he made a little bit of a move.

Seeing Aguado, who was rushing towards him with great momentum, the French had no intention of passing him directly. After all, he has been living in Italy for a year and a half, Djokaef has learned how to distribute the ball at his feet reasonably, and the player's overly sticky behavior is very unpopular in Italy, unless you have the ability to score the ball in a row with four or five people like Maradona......

Therefore, when Aguado rushed towards Djokaeve, Djokaeff was keenly aware that there must be an obvious gap in Zaragoza's back line at this time.

Due to Djokaev's inward cut, Zaragoza's back line had to retreat into their own penalty area, and their midfielders had not yet returned, so there was a very obvious gap near the penalty spot!

With such an obvious gap, Djokaeff naturally did not let go easily, and with a flick of his left ankle, he immediately sent the ball near the penalty spot.

"It's Djokaef who has the ball, will he choose to pass...... Pass the ball! He passed! Barty received his pass from the penalty spot! ”

The player who appeared in the space was none other than Fiorentina captain Batistuta, who appeared where he should have been in the most appropriate position, scoring with a powerful right-footed volley without any interference!

At this point, just eight minutes into the game, Fiorentina relied on a quick break from Lanna to take the lead!

"Nice counterattack! Fiorentina laid down layers of defence from midfield, forcing Zaragoza's players to make mistakes, and then launching a quick counter-attack, which also left Zaragoza's backline without enough time to organise their defence...... This is definitely not accidental, Fiorentina's counterattack in this game played quite well, without dragging the mud at all, this is the defensive counterattack of the authentic Italian team! The Sky TV host was not shy about the praise of Fiorentina, and in the eyes of these Englishmen, how could Fiorentina, who could beat the Premier League team, be killed by a mere Zaragoza?

Zhuang Mingge also celebrated the goal with Karin in the box, although he did not expect Zaragoza to concede the goal sooner than he thought.

A large part of the reason why Zaragoza were able to beat Arsenal in the Cup Winners' Cup final was due to Graham's bribery scandal and the endless negative press within the Arsenal squad that affected the normal performance of the London team, rather than how strong Zaragoza really were this season.

So, in this Cup Winners' Cup final, the Zaragoza players were desperate to find that no matter how hard they tried to press at the opposition goal, the damned Italians would cut off their passes and launch a wave of dangerous counter-attacks.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, are becoming more and more confident, and they find that their opponents in tonight's final are not even as dangerous as Lazio in the domestic league......

The scales are tilting in the direction of Florence.
