Chapter 1239: Busy December (7)

PS1: Today's update is sent, I hope you don't care too much about the update time, and I promise that I won't 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.

Despite Fiorentina's first goal early in the opening game and their own attack was slow to open the game, the AC Milan players did not panic much, but calmly waited for the referee to announce the resumption of the game.

This is not surprising, after all, AC Milan now have a lot of experience on the pitch, with the exception of Kaka, who landed on the Apennine Peninsula for the first time this season, which can be considered a new signing. The second-most junior Baronho has also played two full seasons with the Rossoneri, not to mention Seedorf, Glendoni and Maldini who have been in the top flight for many years. In their opinion, a goal behind is nothing, as long as the tactics are used correctly and the luck is not too bad, this gap can be easily recovered.

So, under the dispatch and command of Seedorf and Baronho, the Rossoneri took the initiative to change their offensive strategy after the restart, no longer trying to re-establish contact with the besieged Ukrainian twins, but skillfully used Fiorentina's strict defense of the two, and constantly opened fire on the periphery of the penalty area by Seedorf and Kaka, threatening the door of the purple lily with long-range shots.

Obviously, Seedorf and their intention to take advantage of Fiorentina's contraction of the defensive line to strictly defend their two strikers to attack the relatively weak defensive periphery of the penalty area, so as to break the opponent's iron bucket formation.

You know, long-range shots and set-pieces are the only way to deal with the bucket formation.

Of course, the periphery here is not the front area of the big penalty area, but the area that is further away from the goal, about 20 to 30 meters. After all, the Fiorentina players are not bad at defensive awareness, and they will not expose such obvious holes to the opponent in the game. If Seedorf and they had to complete the attack in this area, they would be counterattacked by Fiorentina.

I have to say that AC Milan's luck in this game is really good. In the face of Fiorentina's iron bucket, the Rossoneri used this unreasonable long-range shot to break through Gianluigi Buffon's goal in the 26th and 49th minutes of the game. And what has contributed to AC Milan twice is the young midfielder Kaka, who they transferred for a low price of $8 million this summer!

Although this is only Kaka's first season in Serie A, the handsome youngster has already shown his potential to become a superstar and has managed to squeeze Rui Costa off the bench through a few months of impressive performances. The most terrifying thing is that Kaka now not only has the potential to become a superstar, but his trademark running with the ball has basically taken shape at this time!

Unlike most players, Kaka's breakthrough may not be as ghostly and varied as Ronaldo's, but his strength lies in the precise choice of dribbling steps and routes, as well as the ability to keep a cool head during high-speed runs and deliver through balls to his teammates. Moreover, the difference between Kaka's running speed with the ball and running speed in the air is very small, and the extremely European style of play and first-class physical fitness make his breakthrough method very unique, almost all of them are striding meteors straight to the goal, and players with slightly worse speed and reaction can basically stop him in one-on-one situations.

Kaka's immense power in the sprint with the ball was something the Fiorentina players did not expect, and it was because of this that Kaka was able to break through Fiorentina's heavy defence in midfield, catch Claude Makelele and Gattuso off guard, and score two goals for AC Milan.

Kaka scored two valuable goals for AC Milan, but it only allowed the Rossoneri to level the scores. Because before that, Fiorentina once again broke the AC Milan goal through a defensive counter-attack. Only this time, Vieri was the one who scored the goal, and Vincent was the one who provided the assist.

Kaka's brace in the game gave Fiorentina a wake-up call to the likes of Fiorentina that it was far from the time to celebrate the victory in advance. If they let their guard down now, they will certainly not be able to achieve a good outcome.

So, in the time that followed, the Fiorentina players consciously focused on Kaka in defence. Ballack, Claude Makelele and Gattuso, in particular, were very experienced in the game, and they quickly settled on a very targeted defensive strategy.

Gattuso was on hand to mark Kaka as soon as he received the ball, doing his best to interfere with his dribbling line and drive him to the area where Makelele was, thus completing the closure of Kaka. Ballack and Pirlo were tasked with filling in the gaps and preventing Kaka from delivering through balls during his run.

Kaka, who is making his debut in Serie A, has obviously not experienced this kind of defensive feast, and has been dumpled by Gattuso and Makelele in successive breakthroughs, and the barely passed ball will also be cut off by Ballack and Pirlo in the middle of the game, and will also be hit by a wave of quick counter-attacks. After repeating this a few times, Kaka, who had tasted the bitterness, did not dare to break through with the ball easily.

And thanks to Kaka's immaturity now, Makelele can still stop him in this way. If Fiorentina are now facing Kaka in their prime, then they will only make the backline more porous.

The value of a superstar lies in the value of a superstar by single-handedly breaking down the opponent's tactical set-up and gaining more advantages for your own side, thereby changing the direction of the game.

Although Fiorentina's defense against Sheva and Rebrov will inevitably be relaxed after sealing Kaka, the strongest firepower point in the AC Milan midfield, after the previous defeat, Seedorf and Baronho did not dare to send a through ball easily, so Fiorentina's backline was not tested much during this time, and the game was still played according to the tactics arranged by Heynckes.

In the 68th minute, Fiorentina counterattacked with a long pass, Vieri pressed Maldini to transition the ball to an offside position, and Di Natale, who burst into the penalty area and formed a single knife, scoring a goal to seal the victory for the home team!

In this way, with three goals brought by three sharp and quick counter-attacks, Fiorentina finally narrowly defeated AC Milan 3-2 at the Stadio Franchi, and got a valuable victory in extremely difficult conditions!

So far, after the first 12 rounds of Serie A, Fiorentina continues to lead the standings with a proud record of 11 wins and 1 loss and 33 points, while AC Milan, which lost in this round, has to face the unfavorable situation of six points behind the leader.
