Chapter 1235: Busy December (3)

PS1: The Spring Festival is really a festival for cheaters, and it's even worse if you don't have the Internet...... This is yesterday's update, forgive me.

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.

Although Boca Juniors quickly gained the upper hand from the start of the game with the help of their physical superiority and created a number of dangerous attacks, it is a pity that these players of Boca Juniors always seem to be so breathless, and they always fail to grasp a good scoring opportunity and repeatedly miss the goal.

For this unscoring situation, Bianchi is also helpless. After all, the players did not work the pitch and executed his pre-match tactical set-up well, and the results were as remarkable as he had envisioned. Therefore, the Governor can only sigh at this time that his side is really unlucky, and he can't get a goal that can decide the direction of the game when the situation is very good.

Despite the delay in scoring goals, this situation is obviously nothing for the Boca Juniors, who have the strength to do so. Led by the twin strikers of Carlos Tevez and Shelotto, Boca Juniors tirelessly launched one attack after another at Fiorentina's goal, putting a lot of defensive pressure on the Fiorentina defence led by Gianluigi Buffon.

The physical disadvantage and the fact that they crossed eight time zones in just three days left Fiorentina at a fairly low level of form, making it difficult for them to fill in on their team-mates in time as they normally would, thus forming a well-developed defensive chain to keep opponents attacking from outside the box.

Due to the tight defence and the general lack of fitness of the players, the Fiorentina players had to increase the number of players to solidify their defence. As a result, Fiorentina is left with only the front trident of Ribery, Milito and Ronaldo.

After all, at this stage, even Andrea Pirlo, the midfield commander, has retreated to the edge of the box to help his team-mates intercept Boca Juniors' passes, relying on his precise long balls and excellent vision of the pitch to provide some support in attack. Therefore, the attacking trident up front became Fiorentina's last hope to score.

As a result, the two teams teamed up to play offensive and defensive drills in the Fiorentina half, which was a replica of the 2000 European Championship semi-final between Italy and the Netherlands!

However, unlike that semi-final, Boca Juniors obviously don't have as bad penalties as the Dutch, with Tevez and Shelotto both being good at that; And Heynckes is not Zoff's kind of guy who only knows how to defend blindly, and he still wants to solve the battle in regular time. It's just that Fiorentina's current pit daddy's physique allows him to set up tactics.

If they can't defend against the opposition's attack, then it doesn't mean much for Fiorentina to score more goals. Heynckes, who was cautious by nature, did not dare to pin his hopes on the tactical concept of "scoring more goals than his opponent", which was very unreliable for him.

Although the Fiorentina players resisted desperately in the game, when the game reached the 43rd minute of the first half, Boca Juniors still relied on Tevez's individual ability to take the lead and rewrite the score to 1-0!

It has to be said that Tevez at this time has already shown the potential to become a top star, and his beastly physicality and first-class footwork allow him to deal with all types of defenders and find ways to deal with opponents effectively.

For example, the goal just now, Gambellini had already stuck Tevez's breakthrough route, but the latter forced an overtake with his outstanding physical fitness and explosiveness, erased Gamberini's side, broke through the Fiorentina back line in one fell swoop to form a single knife, and finally turned it into an extremely important goal for Boca Juniors.

Boca Juniors had a chance to extend the lead further before the end of the first half, but Tevez broke through Gambellini's defence this time but couldn't get the ball past Buffon's ten fingers and ended the first half with a score of 1-0.

After a fifteen-minute break, the Fiorentina players seemed to be finally picking up their spirits after a terrible first half, and the defensive intensity began to gradually increase, so that Boca Juniors' attack was no longer as easy as it was in the first half, when it was within 30 metres of the Fiorentina goal. As for Tevez and Shelotto, who embarrassed Lucio and Gamberini in the first half, they also felt what is called an Italian-style reinforced concrete defense for the first time.

ALTHOUGH THE DEFENSE LINE NOW IN FRONT OF TAVIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A VERSION WITH A WEAKENED DEBUFF ATTACHED, IT IS NOT SOMETHING THEY CAN EASILY COPE WITH AT A YOUNG AGE.

In this way, as the game deepened, the players' competitive state began to gradually pick up, and Fiorentina gradually compressed the attacking space of Boca Juniors, gradually regaining the initiative of the game in this way.

Boca Juniors, who were aware of Fiorentina's intentions, did not resist, but after losing Riquelme, the playmaker, their ability to control the game did drop more than a notch. Therefore, these efforts only slowed down the speed of control change to a certain extent, and there was no way to completely stop the pace of the opponent's counterattack.

The most direct manifestation of the change of initiative in the game is that in the second half of the game, although the two teams are still the same as the first half, the rhythm of one attack and one defense, but the number and threat of Fiorentina's rapid counterattack are obviously much greater than in the first half. While Boca Juniors' attack looks no different than before, attentive fans will notice that their shots are getting farther and more difficult from Fiorentina's goal.

In the 75th minute of the game, Bataglia's diagonal pass to the right was intercepted by De Rossi in the middle, Pirlo launched a long counterattack, Milito pressed Burdisso to give the ball to Ribery who was diagonally inserted from the left, who received the ball and accelerated into the penalty area to form a single knife, and suddenly split the ball after attracting the attention of the opposing goalkeeper. At this time, Ronaldo, who cut in from the other side of the penalty area, slapped the horse and sent the ball into the empty goal in front of him with a light push! One-to-one!

And just like that, after a nightmare first half, Fiorentina finally woke up, showed Boca Juniors their razor-sharp fangs, and managed to pull their opponents back on the same page!
