Chapter Seventy-Nine: Blue Eagle Lazio
A week later, Fiorentina, who had won eight in a row in all competitions, hosted last season's third-placed Serie A winners, Lazio.
Under the tutelage of Czech Zeman, Lazio have unleashed a real attacking frenzy in Serie A this season.
Unlike Fiorentina's style of first stabilizing the defense and then slowly trying to figure it out, Zeman tailored a set of four-three-three starting lineup for Lazio: Signoli, Boksic, and Casirachi form the trident on the forward line, and England's foreign aid Gascoigne teamed up with Forsse and Dutchman Alan Winter to have more than one midfield creativity, but the defense was slightly inferior, and Zeman only arranged one player for Winter to defend full-time; At the back, goalkeeper Maciegiani and Favali, Glendoni, Chamote and Negro from left to right, are players who are not well-known but practical. Especially Glendoni, who was even more favored by experts than Nesta when he first debuted, but his impulsive personality eventually led him to the path of a shooting star.
It is conceivable how a talented player who can easily be compared to coaches and bosses can escape the fate of becoming a waste material.
……
"Welcome to Frankie Field!" Zhuang Mingge and Karin had just sat down in the box when the voice of the local Florentine commentator came from the TV set in the box.
"The visiting Lazio starting goalkeeper is still Maciegiani, the back line is led by Argentina international Chamote, Flanked by Favali and Negro on the left and right, but the biggest highlight in the Lazio backline is their Italian Olympic captain Glendoni!"
"Looking at the midfield, it is still the iron triangle at the beginning of the league - England Gascoigne, Winter from the Netherlands, and Forsse, who has just been called up by Sacchi to the Italian national team...... Zuihou is the forward line, and with Kasiraci out injured, let's see who the bold Czech coach will play? Oh, God! Zeman sent in a young player who had never played before, Di Vaio! Di Vaio, Boksic, Signori - Zeman who doesn't play according to common sense! It's going to be a fantastic combination! It's going to be a great competition! ”
Meanwhile, in the dressing room in Florence.
"Guys, are you all ready?" Ranieri, who had just finished arranging the tactics of the game, looked serious.
"Ready!"
"Excellent! Remember, as long as you can hold off the Lazios attacking with all their might, we can definitely win this game! ”
In the dressing room, Fiorentina coach Ranieri felt a sense of relief after issuing a "battle order". This heavyweight battle with Lazio, the third runner-up in Serie A last season, made him have to be cautious, not only sending all the main lineup, but also making targeted arrangements for some of the problems that Lazio exposed in the previous games.
"Coach, don't worry, I know this Czech-led Lazio is an attacking maniac, but we can definitely beat their weak defense into a sieve first!" Inzaghi, who is optimistic and cheerful by nature, did not hesitate to make reassurances to the head coach before the game.
"Defeat Lazio! We can beat any opponent! The rest of Fiorentina's players echoed the same chorus, and Inzaghi's words also made the eager Fiorentina youngsters full of energy.
Ranieri nodded with satisfaction, shook hands with each of the players at the door of the dressing room, and watched them enter the Frankie Stadium, which had been rendered a sea of purple.
In the purple wave of the stands, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began, and the Lazio team that was a guest at Fiorentina was the main opponent at the beginning of the game, attacking the Fiorentina goal!
"Can Lazio be without Casirachi? The Czechs told us, YES! Zeman said in his pre-match interview that this weekend, Forsse, Winter, Boksic, Gascoigne, Glendoni ...... Everybody can be a Kasirachi! ”
As if to verify the commentator's bold "prediction", the Blue Eagles, hovering over the Frankie Stadium, took turns to dive into the Fiorentina penalty area, and Lazio without the goalscorer Casiraggi and the core of the midfield Di Matteo was still Lazio, because the victory of this Blue Eagles team was not tied to any one of the team, because they had the more mentally cohesive owner Cragnotti, and the manager Zeman. Of course, Zhuang Mingge, who suddenly realized this at this time, could only sigh silently in the box:
"Casiraci is just a card in the hands of the Czechs!"
In fact, Zhuang Mingge was not very interested in the coach's ability to play about 90 minutes, the reason is very simple, he always felt that in most cases, the head coach of the team was just the planner of the game strategy and tactics, and the specific implementation of these things had to rely on the eleven players on the field.
If the head coach stands on the sidelines and can dominate and control everything in the game just by moving his mouth and waving his gestures, then what is the use of those players who are sweating the field?
"Seek things in people, succeed in heaven", this saying is very applicable to coaches in 90 minutes, Zhuang Mingge even often imagined with bad intentions, maybe those head coaches standing on the sidelines, in the 90 minutes of the game, are the most devout prayer on this shijie, otherwise how can there be so many coaches who "pretend to be cool" most of the time. The moment the team scores, they are so excited that they will even stage a strange "I'm not fighting alone" reality show!
Despite this, Zhuang Mingge will not be ignorant enough to forget the Czech Zeman - this alternative to perverted existence! The Czech is an exception to this "sideline rule", and he has proven time and time again that the manager is not a sideline fixture. Ranieri may be regarded as a master tactician of "pre-game", while Zeman is the true twelfth of the Blue Eagles at the time of the game.
"Di Vaio! Di Vaio picked up the ball down the left and he got past Fiorentina's right-back Billindelly...... His breakthrough was as sharp as Signori when he first debuted...... Zeman is such an amazing coach! ”
Di Vaio, who made his Olympic debut, lived up to the trust of Lazio coach Zeman by appearing as a left winger. Signori on the right side took turns attacking the Fiorentina defence......
Looking at the situation on the field, Zhuang Mingge felt that with the temper of the Czechs, there would definitely be no fewer goals in this game, and as for whether Fiorentina can win, it depends on the performance of the players on the field......
