PS1: This is Sunday's update.,It's a little late.,I hope you don't care too much about the update time.,I promise not to 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.

Nedved's goal instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the thousands of Juventus fans who came with the team, who applauded happily in the away fan area in the stands of the Frankie Stadium, and provoked the unkind eyes of the surrounding Fiorentina fans - you dare to shout so loudly in our turf, you are killing yourself!

As a result, a fierce clash broke out between Fiorentina fans in the stands and Juventus fans. Fortunately, because the guardrails isolated the fans of both sides in two areas, so that they could only verbally provoke each other in the air, and it was absolutely impossible to do anything, so the extent of the clash was limited to verbal cannons, and there were no injuries.

While the fans of both sides were competing in the stands, Mourinho's face on the sidelines was also blue at the moment. It was only at this time that the Portuguese young coach, who had always been full of confidence, realized that he had underestimated Juventus' energy after all.

"I miscalculated, I didn't expect this guy Nedved to hit the door directly in that situation." Although in order to ensure the stability of the army, Mourinho still maintained a calm expression after the team conceded the goal, but this does not mean that the Portuguese heart is the same at the moment, "It seems that I still underestimate the ability of Juventus and Trapattoni." I should have arranged it before, if I had known that this would happen."

Mourinho didn't have a long-range shot in line with the heavy gunners like Nedved, but the Portuguese envisioned that Nedved should pull enough space through continuous passes before hitting the goal, rather than forcing a shot with his feet like gambling under the attack of Gattuso and De Rossi, as he had just done. Because a shot like this is very susceptible to interference from the opposing defenders and thus deviate from the crosshairs.

However, it is clear that Nedved's luck this time is really against the sky. The Czech ironman's long-range shot was not only powerful and fast, but the ball went straight to the corner of the goal, so even a goalkeeper of Buffon's level could not do anything about this world-class long-range shot.

Nedved's goal was crucial, not only stabilizing Juventus' morale at this critical moment, but also allowing the Bianconeri to regain the initiative on the pitch, allowing them to play Fiorentina's counter-attack for the rest of the day, rather than having to press the formation to win the game as they did at the beginning.

So, after the game resumed, the Juventus players, who were based on defense, took the initiative to retreat and shrink the formation to lure the Fiorentina players who were behind to press the attack. In their opinion, as the side behind the scoreline, the Fiorentina players should be in a hurry to equalise by now. In this way, they can get more scoring opportunities when they are mainly defending and counter-attacking.

However, to the surprise of the Juventus players, in the face of this unfavorable situation, the Fiorentina players did not rush to attack after the restart, but began to fall in their own half under the command of Pirlo, and it seemed that they had no intention of attacking at all.

What's going on? Didn't Fiorentina want to win this game? Finding that the opponent's actions were completely different from what they expected, the Juventus players were a little confused, but they didn't dare to let their guard down like that. God knows if this was intentional on the part of Fiorentina, and if they had the opportunity to equalise as soon as they had slackened, they would have been crying for a while.

Unbeknownst to the Juventus players, it was a deliberate decision made by Andrea Pirlo to avoid falling into the trap set by the Bianconeri. In Pirlo's view, his task is to make sure that the team does not concede goals as much as possible until Mourinho makes specific changes. As for the equaliser or something, it's better to leave it to the manager to think about it.

To be honest, Pirlo would have actually had no choice but to do so. Who made Mourinho send three defensive midfielders in the starting line-up in one go, but only left three players in the front field (including Pirlo), so that even if Pirlo wants to take the initiative to attack, Fiorentina does not have enough manpower to execute. Therefore, with limited manpower at the offensive end, Pirlo can only choose to stabilize the situation first and wait for orders from Mourinho.

At this time, Mourinho, who had come out of the state of self-blame, finally came up with a countermeasure. I saw that he first kicked out all the players on the bench to warm up, so that Trapattoni could not judge his real intention to make substitutions; Mourinho then took advantage of his team's throw-in to bring Zambrotta to his side, ending the brief conversation before Rossetti arrived.

Mourinho knew that after Nedved scored the Fiorentina goal, the strategy he had laid out before the game to focus on defensive counter-attacks in this game had completely failed, and if he made a substitution in the first half, it would not only slap him in the face, but also make the substituted players resentful. Therefore, Mourinho can only let his team continue with the previous tactics and wait until half-time to make arrangements.

And after getting the instructions from Mourinho, the Fiorentina players carried it out well. The midfield trio of De Rossi, Gattuso and Claude Makelele formed a wide net in front of the penalty area, keeping the vast majority of Juventus' attacks out of the box. Moreover, after suffering a loss from Nedved, they paid more attention to blocking the shooting route in the following period, and no longer gave Juve players space to hit the goal.

In this way, until the first half of the game entered injury time, Fiorentina did not launch a few decent attacks against the Juventus goal, but they were not allowed to be extended by the Bianconeri again, and the score remained 0-1 until the 45th minute of the game.

However, when the fourth official announced three minutes of first-half stoppage time on the sidelines, Fiorentina suddenly came out of nowhere, Pirlo sent a series of long overhead balls near the center circle to slam behind Zebina and Galla, while Vincent and Milito seized two of those chances and formed a goal, which instantly made Juventus's goal become a rumor!

Sadly, Vincent and Milito managed to get on the end of Pirlo's pass and convert it into a shot, but neither of them could get past Frei's fingers, and they had to accept that the team ended the first half with a goal behind Juventus.
