Chapter 891: Juventus (5)

PS: The person who asked for a recommendation ticket here said that free books don't need everyone to spend money, so it should be okay to give more recommendation votes, right? Thank you here~

Looking at Vieri, who was smiling on the pitch and celebrating the goal with Ljungberg and Effenberg, tens of thousands of Juventus fans in the stands of the Alp Stadium did not boo the Fiorentina players as usual, but fell into an unusually dead silence. Because they can see that Juventus's shape in this game has become very dangerous!

You know, in this kind of strong conversation, the two teams in the game tend to focus more on defense, so there are not many goals in this situation, and being able to lead by two goals in the first half can almost be said to be quite a huge advantage. What's more, Juventus has always been a team that focuses on stability, and the vast majority of their goals due to lack of explosiveness rely on the tactical system and willpower to smash down one by one, like Fiorentina's sometimes excited style of play that can block and kill God and Buddha, which is not seen in the Bianconeri at all.

So, it can also be said that if Shevchenko's goal was just a blow to Juventus, who felt good about themselves before the game, then Vieri's goal was the last straw that broke the Bianconeri!

After all, before this game began, the Juventus players were still very confident of winning this match against Fiorentina. Because they know that although the overall strength of the opponent is better than their own, Fiorentina's successive defeats in Serie A and the shrinking points advantage still give Juventus hope of beating this sworn enemy - even a striker of Lazio's level can bring Fiorentina three goals in the final stages of the game to complete the comeback, why can't they do it?

Obviously, the Juventus players have forgotten the fact that Lazio have at least two super-killers on the bench, Cruise and Inzaghi, who are capable of playing magical moments in the final stages of the game. And what about Juventus? Pierrot, who has degenerated into a penalty striker, has been worse than Otero since joining the Bianconeri, and Amoruso Jr., who has never been able to support the wall...... By the way, there are also two big parallel goods, Kovacevic and Henry.

If only the striker's individual ability is not enough, Juventus can also make up for this lack through guò tactics and teamwork, but when Pierrot, who is the core of the Bianconeri's attack on the field, refuses to carry out this order, and stubbornly wants to prove in front of people that he is still the golden boy who can single-handedly take on the entire Fiorentina backline, Juventus's fate in this game is actually doomed.

In this way, under the stubborn and stubborn impact of Pierrot again and again, Juventus completely lost the hope of turning the tables at home, and also lost the hope of winning the battle of Tianwang Mountain, so as to tie the purple lily in the standings!

In the 63rd minute of the game, Pierrot challenged the central defense line composed of Stam and Nesta alone, but was successfully tackled by the Dutch with his long legs, Fiorentina launched a quick counterattack, and the ball successfully passed through the Juventus back line after a continuous pass by Nesta, Redondo, and Effenberg, and handed it to the feet of Ljungberg, who was inserted at high speed from the right side!

The Swede didn't make the mistake of being greedy at this time, and he suddenly split the ball to the other side of the box after he caught Peruzzi's attention and lured him out of the six-yard box!

At the same time, Shevchenko, who broke into the penalty area from the left side with Ljungberg, slapped the horse and scored the empty goal after receiving the Swede's ball, rewriting the score to 3-0!

Peruzzi said there was nothing he could do about Shevchenko's strike – although his goal-line skills were among the top three of all active Italian goalkeepers, his bulky size and slow pace made it impossible for him to move from one side of the net to the other as quickly as Toldo and Buffon did. What's more, Peruzzi is still facing this kind of two-on-one cheating situation, which makes it a dead end no matter which side he chooses to block.

Five minutes later, it was Pierrot who was tackled up front, Fiorentina launched a quick counter-attack at the back, Ljungberg broke through to form a one-on-one knife, and it was Peruzzi who passed the ball to his teammates after attracting Peruzzi's attention. However, this time Vieri, who was outflanked from the middle, had a small accident when executing the final blow, and the Italian center forward kicked the ball off the crossbar and bounced back!

Just when Montero, who was back in the penalty area, was about to clear the ball out of his own penalty area, Shevchenko, who was the second echelon of this counterattack, rushed to the top with a fish leap to the top before the Uruguayan iron guard cleared the ball into the unguarded goal!

Fiorentina, four to zero!

Despite the fact that there were more than 20 minutes to go, no one believed that Juventus would be able to complete the comeback in the final stages like Lazio - after all, Lazio were only two goals behind Fiorentina at the time, and they were still facing a substitute defence of Ferrara and Hyypia, so with the ability of Cruise and Inzaghi Jr., it was not really difficult to break down the Fiorentina goal. And what about Juventus? They are facing Fiorentina, who have been recuperating for a whole week and playing with a full main lineup!

If Fiorentina will feel a little tricky when using a rotating lineup against strong opponents like Lazio, then the Purple Lily, which plays with the main force, is an inexplicable existence for most teams!

Yes, Fiorentina may not be perfect, there are still all kinds of loopholes that can be exploited by opponents, but no team thinks that they can beat Fiorentina by seizing these holes. Because the Purple Lily's offensive and defensive conversion efficiency is so powerful, as long as the opponent is a little slower in the offensive and defensive transition, the Effenbergs will immediately find and tear a hole, and Shevchenko and Vieri will also seize this opportunity to convert it into one goal after another!

By the way, saying that a team has no solution does not mean that it can do its best in all aspects, but that it has done something in one aspect that makes it extremely difficult or even impossible for its opponent to crack.

Barcelona during the Dream Three period is the best example, although everyone knows that Barcelona has a weak defense and the players are not strong in confrontation, but they are not eaten to death by its passing and control system? Regardless of off-field factors such as those black whistles and godfathers, this Barcelona team has indeed taken the passing and control tactics to an extreme, a Cheng dù that everyone feels helpless!

The same can be said of Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, who took their defence to a whole new level, and if it weren't for a nerve knife like Liverpool, who was kicked home by a frantic kick, Abou probably wouldn't have had to wait almost a decade to see the Blues' first Big Ears Cup.

Now, to Ancelotti's problem, he found that Fiorentina had also achieved an inexplicable performance in one area: their efficiency in switching between attack and defence!
