The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Monday, a little bit late, I hope readers don't pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise not to stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

After the 15-minute intermission, the Fiorentina players who returned to the court continued the offensive momentum before the end of the first half.As soon as Ibrahimovic and Trezeguet kicked the ball in the center circle, Gattuso, De Rossi and others rushed across the half-court and aggressively pressed Juventus' ball-handling players. Leave Makelele alone in the rear to protect the back line and avoid being seized by the opponent to make a quick counterattack.

Although the Juventus players had expected Fiorentina's move to strengthen the pressing force after the intermission, they obviously did not expect that Mourinho did not make a move when he asked the players to strengthen the pressing force against Juventus's midfielder and backcourt. Substitution adjustments, but let De Rossi and Gattuso two people press heavily, in this way to disrupt their backcourt!

Facing the menacing Fiorentina players, Juventus is naturally not to be outdone.Under the leadership of Emerson, Tacchinardi and others, the two teams once again launched a fierce confrontation on the court.But this time, the battlefield where players from both sides fought was mainly concentrated in the Juventus half, rather than the two teams fighting in the midfield like in the first half.

"This kid Mourinho is still too young and energetic. He can't hold his breath so soon." Trapattoni put his hands on his chest, posing as if he was sitting on the Diaoyutai, and expressed his gratitude to Mourinho's move. He commented, "Pressing the formation so far forward puts a lot of pressure on the back line. Once someone in the middle makes any omissions, then a counterattack is enough to drive them into a situation where there is no redemption."

However, Trapattoni clearly forgot a very important point.That is why Fiorentina pressed the formation as a whole. The main purpose is not to strengthen their own offense, but to suppress Juventus's midfield and backcourt so that they cannot comfortably fall in the backcourt. The probability of a successful tackle in the opposition half.

In other words, Mourinho did not let the players increase the time of possession of the ball, but generously handed over the ball to Juventus. He just greatly premised the defensive area and strengthened the pressure on Juventus' backcourt. Instead of layering defenses in their own half like traditional Italian teams.

You know, in order to lure Fiorentina to press the formation and make their originally extremely tightly defended backcourt empty, most of the Juventus players retreated to their own half, leaving only Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic The two were cruising in the frontcourt, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.This also means that whether Juventus' counterattack tactics can be implemented smoothly depends largely on the performance of Ibrahimovic and Trezeguet in the frontcourt.

Although Mourinho was a little worried about this, but the situation forced him, and he couldn't care so much at this time.After all, if you don't choose to press because you are worried about Juventus's quick counterattack, then with the level of unscrupulousness of Trapattoni and the Bianconeri, it is very likely that Juventus players will hide in the half and just don't attack. .

What's more, although the tall and burly Ibrahimovic has skills and footwork that are completely inconsistent with his size, speed is obviously not the Swede's strong point.Therefore, in the counterattack, Ibrahimovic is more of a tactical fulcrum for Juventus in the frontcourt, supporting and passing the ball for his teammates.Similarly, Trezeguet's strengths lie in grabbing points and the sense of smell in front of the goal, but he is relatively average in dribbling and sprinting abilities.Therefore, as long as Nesta and Lucio can grasp the proportion, even if Juventus pass directly behind them, it doesn’t matter, because with the speed of Ibrahimovic and Trezeguet, when they rush to the penalty area of ​​Florence with the ball, the speed is even faster. The dominant Fiorentina players have already returned to the defense.

Moreover, despite Juventus's defense line claiming to be the strongest in Serie A, in fact, the Bianconeri's defense line also has many hidden dangers.Needless to say, Zebina is a crazy knife. The number of times he has done meritorious service and cheated his father is almost the same.Grosso's ability can only be regarded as upper-middle among left-backs, and his height of 190 cm makes him quite disadvantaged when dealing with some speed and technical players.Although Gallas has the top physical fitness among defenders, and his defensive skills and judgment are also in line with the standards of a top central defender, the problem with the Frenchman is that he is not very focused in the game, and often falls and defends. The phenomenon of dislocation.And this, for a central defender, is a very fatal shortcoming.

This is why Gallas in the previous life repeatedly asked to play as a center back instead of a left back at Chelsea, but Mourinho, who was the coach of the Blues at the time, refused to agree. He would rather give the teenager Huth a chance than let him play a center back. .

Although Gallas is surrounded by Thuram, a teammate who is good at finding gaps and making up for gaps, it makes up for Gallas' shortcoming to a large extent. The complementary styles of the two make Juventus' defense line quite solid. .But even Thuram cannot fill Gallas in time every time.

In Zhuang Mingge's previous life, the central defender combination of Cannavaro and Thuram was also not perfect, but at that time there was the existence of the world's number one goalkeeper Buffon behind them, which could make this line of defense perfect to the greatest extent.Now, although Frey's level is also good, compared with Buffon, the French goalkeeper is still slightly inferior.It is precisely because of this that there are always hidden dangers in Juventus' central defense, but few teams can discover and seize these opportunities.

No, in the 3 minutes of the game, Gallas made a serious mistake when receiving a return pass from Emerson, and directly stopped the ball at the feet of Milito who stepped forward to press, and the latter did not give Gallas a chance to make up for it after getting the ball. , A change of direction dribbled the ball directly into the Juventus penalty area!

Seeing Milito rushing into his own penalty area, Gallas, who was planning to steal immediately, couldn't help hesitating at this time.Because Milito had already run in front of him at this time, so if he dared to stretch his feet from behind, what would happen if he didn't keep it straight.

Gallas knew very well that once he tackled the ball from behind and had physical contact with Milito in front at the same time, the latter was likely to fall down in the penalty area and directly cheat a penalty kick, and he would also get a penalty due to the tackle from behind. He was sent off the court with a red card by the referee.

With such hesitation, Gallas lost the last chance to stop Milito. Facing Frey who abandoned the goal, the latter, who was single-handedly, first pulled the ball horizontally, and then directly kicked the ball with his right foot to the near corner of the goal!

The ball flew under Frey's outstretched arms, and then rushed into the gate behind the Frenchman!

One to one!Taking advantage of a low-level mistake by Gallas, Fiorentina successfully equalized the score and regained the initiative in this championship battle!
