PS3: I would like to thank the book friend "Dawang Yu Yu Yu" for his tip.

"Jose, this guy, I didn't expect to actually use the three-midfield configuration of Gattuso, Makelele and Ballack in this game." After seeing Mourinho's line-up, Zhuang Mingge, who came to watch the game, said, "Through a lot of running and pressing to put pressure on the opponent, so that the opponent's players involved in the attack can not get enough space and passing routes, and then create their mistakes to launch counterattacks...... Sure enough, it is in line with Jose's usual tactical style. ”

Compared to his predecessor and teacher Heynckes, Mourinho is clearly more focused on defending, but also on the huge impact that running off the ball can have on the game. For example, if Fiorentina's players on the pitch had run a kilometre more than their Lazio players in the same position, the Purple Lily's players would certainly be more likely to play more and less at both ends of the pitch than the Blue Eagles. That way, as long as it's not luck or the player's form is particularly bad, Fiorentina will certainly have an easier time taking the initiative at both ends of the pitch.

It is precisely because of this small difference in football philosophy that Gattuso, a player who was only seen by the Germans as an additional addition to the midfield defense during Heynckes' tenure, has been given more opportunities to perform after Mourinho took over!

In Mourinho's opinion, although Gattuso is a player who has almost no concept of defensive positioning, he also has advantages that other players do not have, that is, extremely energetic and never-say-die style of play!

With these two things, combined with his fierce but not ferocious style of play and conscientious defensive attitude, it is enough for Mourinho, who has always focused on defence, to include Gattuso as a key development target for the team.

Whoever is on the pitch has to be actively involved in the defense, controlling the opponent's space and cutting off their passing routes through a lot of off-ball runs and systematic defensive positions, forcing them to rely on their individual ability to break through with the ball. And when they do so, the Lazio players will fall into the defensive traps set by Mourinho and lose the ball at their feet in the encirclement of the Fiorentina players. And this is Mourinho's defensive strategy specially formulated for the Fiorentina first team on the basis of Heynckes's original experience after absorbing the successful experience of Chelsea and Greece.

Sure enough, after the start of the game, the Fiorentina midfield trio consisting of Ballack, Gattuso and Makelele quickly disrupted the rhythm of Lazio's game with fierce physical confrontation and physical pressing, and almost completely severed the connection between the Blue Eagles' midfield and the forward trident in the front, making Lazio's midfield a serious disconnect!

Although Deco and Davies have played in Fiorentina before, they are more familiar with the Purple Lily's pressing style, and can use their experience and technical skills to spin around the opponent on the pitch and try their best to make their teammates play according to the rhythm they are familiar with, but Fiore is not good, this rare technical midfielder in Italian football has done his best not to lose the ball under the pressure of Ballack and others, and there is really no extra energy to invest in other aspects.

Despite his technical excellence and ability as a well-rounded midfielder, his lack of off-ball movement and fitness made it difficult for Fiore to perform at such a high level of intensity. In the face of the ubiquitous defense and pressing of Fiorentina players, Fiore, who was a little disorganized, began to gradually fall silent, throwing the task of organizing the attack to his two teammates Deco and Davis, and playing stealth games on the field, occasionally receiving passes from teammates, often under the pressure of Ballack and others, it was difficult to organize a threatening attack.

With Fiore's stealth, Lazio began to gradually fall behind in the battle for midfield. Davis and Deco are both excellent in terms of ability, but they also struggle to help the Blues reconnect with Ronaldo and Drogba up front. After all, the former is now a 31-year-old veteran, and his running ability is not as good as when he was at his peak, and his ability in other aspects has also declined, not to mention that connecting the midfield is not what he is good at; Although the latter was cultivated as Redondo's successor in Fiorentina, he was not good at breaking through this kind of work with the ball, not to mention that after Fiore's stealth, Lazio often faced a situation of playing more with less in the midfield, and Deco, who wasted a lot of physical energy to get rid of the opponent's pressing, naturally had no energy to take care of these things.

In the twenty-fourth minute of the game, Fiore was surrounded by Ballack, Gattuso and Vincent who retreated to defend in the process of advancing with the ball in the midfield.

Fiore's sudden loss of the ball in the midfield caught the Lazio players who were about to press the formation to attack by surprise, and they did not expect that Fiore would be successfully tackled by the opponent at this juncture. Therefore, when Davies was the first to react and pounced on Vincent who was counter-attacking with the ball, Lazio still had a lot of players still running in the direction of the Fiorentina goal.

Although Davies managed to block the Spaniard before Vincent could speed up with the ball, Vincent was not Walcott's stunned guy who only knew how to dribble all the way to the end and didn't want anything else. Seeing the Dutch boar appear in front of him, Vincent first made a feint to break through with the ball to the left, and then with a flick of his ankle, he passed the ball to the other side of the court! There, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had escaped Maxwell's defense, was moving forward at high speed along the right side of the pitch!

After receiving Vincent's ball, Ronaldo did not give the Lazio player a foul or a yellow card to interrupt the chance for a quick counter-attack. After observing the running position of his teammates a little, Ronaldo, who pretended to continue to break through with the ball, directly picked the ball over Favali's head and passed the ball to the feet of Milito, who was successful in the anti-offside position! Single Knife!

Petr Cech, who was a slow shot, couldn't get his hands on Milito's shot, and as the Czech goalkeeper collapsed on the turf, he heard the cheers of the fans – apparently not from the Lazio fans.

In this way, relying on a quick counterattack in the first half, Fiorentina, who lacked Pirlo's midfielder, unexpectedly led Lazio by one goal in the first half and took the lead in this Italian Super Cup competition!
