However, the Swedish international’s choice was beyond our imagination. He volleyed the ball directly from the corner of the penalty area and sent it to AC Milan! From the slowmotion playback, we can see that sebastiano rossi is obviously unprepared for Ljungberg’s shot. I guess Rossi may be that the other side will make a slight adjustment and then make plans, so he will choose to wait and see instead of immediately attacking to block Ljungberg’s shot angle … Of course, even if he attacks, it won’t change anything because Ronaldo has already outflanked from the middle. Once Rossi chooses to abandon the goal and attack Ljungberg, then Ronaldo will get a chance to throw the ball.
Maldini, Ayala and others put their hands around their waist and watched as they celebrated the goal on the sidelines. Ljungberg’s heart was full of nai. When Florence counterattacked just now, they all tried their best to chase after the defense, but they still failed to stop Florence from harvesting the second goal.
In the coming days, although Florence got several good counterattacks opportunities, it was a pity that the difference between the two sides was not further widened, and the score remained at 20!
In this way, with the advantage of two goals, Fiorentina ended the halfgame and followed Capello into the player’s channel with their heads held high. They now need 15 minutes to recover half the game and consume their physical strength, and see if the head coach has made any new adjustments.
On the other hand, the players in AC Milan are generally not very goodlooking. After all, they are somewhat embarrassed to see their elders when their opponents break the goal twice at home.
At the end of the halfgame, Florence is leading 20 away! To tell the truth, this score should be expected by many people. After all, AC Milan’s performance in the past two years is really poor, but even if it touches the semimain team to play in Florence, there will not be much chance of winning … But looking at the expression of AC Milan boss Berlusconi in the box, I think the former Prime Minister should be very dissatisfied with the team’s performance at halftime.
Soon after the 15minute intermission, the commentator chattered away, and the players from both sides returned to the stadium to wait for the halfgame.
During the intermission, Zaccheroni made a substitution adjustment for AC Milan. In the past fortyfive minutes, he was taught many times by Florence’s quick counterattack tactics. He chose veteran costacurta to replace Argentine Guli, and let old Billy take charge of the right central defense, while moving Maldini forward in midfield to push Leonardo to the front line.
Ha ha, it seems that the opposite side finally recognized the situation and realized that it is difficult to break through our defense line only by the current offensive configuration … but can he pull back the disadvantage like this? Zaccheroni’s change for costacurta is intended to make him a right back. Capello turned his head and said to Mourinho around him, Let the boys rush over and teach those AC Milan players what a real oppressive attack is!
Wait for Fabio also saw Zaccheroni’s substitution. Mourinho stopped Capello and prepared to let the players counterattack AC Milan. I think something seems to be wrong. You see that costacurta is not in the rightback position, but more like … rightback?
Hey? Hearing Mourinho’s description, Capello quickly stopped giving orders to Fiorentina players and looked at the half of AC Milan players. You seem to be right. The position of costacurta seems to be that Ayala, the right central defender, moved to the left central defender, while Paolo Maldini, the former left central defender, was moved to the left midfield by Zaccheroni.
So mahdavikia and Ljungberg will face Maldini and Leonardo on the right, which is really a bit difficult. At this time, Mourinho gave his own opinion. Obviously, Zaccheroni didn’t plan to change his position. He just changed some players’ positions in costacurta.
Your eyes are better. This time I was almost fooled by Zaccheroni, the youngest son. I found myself almost fooled by my opponent’s substitution. Capello got up from his seat and gave his latest instructions to the players!
Gattuso was sent by Capello to assist Ljungberg and mahdavikia, three players with excellent running ability and very positive defensive attitude. The two players who have reached the age of 30 will be Paolo Maldini and Leonardo.
And in the middle of the defense, Capello let Pirlo take part in the defense. The main defensive force is still Zatithis is mainly due to the fact that Bo Ban and albertini are not very forwardminded. If they are replaced by a ticket, Capello, a heavy gunner like the Germans, would not dare to enlarge the area in front of the penalty area like this.
After giving his instructions to the players, Capello held his hands in his chest and secretly sneered.
Zaccheroni, haven’t you given up the strategy of attacking and defending? Then let me Florence to teach you how to be a lowkey person!
As a result of Capello’s arrangement, Pirlo and Deco, who replaced Gattuso in the 60 th minute, almost completed the Fiorentina counterattack performance in the whole halfgame, and sent penetrating balls again and again in the game, which made AC Milan’s slightly thin defense line riddled with holes.
So Ronaldo and Dinatale each scored a goal at halftime when the team launched a quick counterattack, while AC Milan scored a header to save face from a corner kick by bierhoff in the tenth minute.
In the end, in the third round of Serie A focus battle in 1999, Florence finally beat AC Milan 41, which severely slapped all the people who preached that Florence is dying!
Of course, the worst thing in my heart is AC Milan boss Silvio Berlusconi. According to gossip, after the game, the former Italian Prime Minister was heard to growl angrily from the building at No.3 Turati Street, which lasted for even a long time to declare for Guinness World Records!
Chapter 691 Getting Better (1)
After defeating AC Milan, Florence flew to Spain to prepare for the second Champions League group match three days later. This time, their opponent was the Basque lion Athletic Bilbao.
I said, boss, what do you think about UEFA and the Football Association that they can arrange such a cheating schedule? On the plane, vieri and Inzaghi complained to Capello halfheartedly, We haven’t played at Frankie Stadium since the first game of the Champions League. Is this to kill our rhythm?
Ha ha how is that possible? It’s just a small coincidence. Capello replied with a smile when complaining about the two people. I said that if you two have the leisure time to think about these things, you might as well take a rest while you are busy … This season, the team schedule is very tight, but it will affect the state of the next game.
So in the sigh of vieri and Inzaghi, the Florence team plane arrived in Bilbao, Spain
Athletic Bilbao is a very special club. What makes it special is that they are extremely stubborn in terms of player bloodthey have been insisting on making players with Basque blood since the team was established in Bilbao!
For other people who want to play in Bilbao, if they don’t have Basque ancestry, even if your skills are excellent and your reputation is great, the Basque lion will choose to shut them out just to ensure the purity of the club’s ancestry!
Although Athletic Bilbao’s insistence made them successfully ensure the purity of Basque bloodline in the team, it also made them fall further and further by other strong teams in the intensified bosman wave. Therefore, although Athletic Bilbao unexpectedly won the second place in La Liga this season, not many people still regard it as a strong team, but only regard this phenomenon as the last light of this former powerful team.
On the evening of September 3, the San Mames Stadium, the home of Athletic Club Bilbao, was packed. Nearly 40,000 Bilbao fans and more than 1,000 fans from afar from Florence filled all the stands.
In the face of having won the Champions Cup three times in a row, the head coach of Athletic Florence Bilbao, Luis Hernandez, didn’t make much adjustment to the team’s starting lineupin fact, he couldn’t make too many changes, because Bilbao’s signing strategy doomed it to expect more good seedlings with high loyalty and firstclass potential from those with Basque ancestry.
At present, in the first team of Athletic Bilbao, there are generally Basque players like urzaiz and Echeberia who are from other teams’ youth training but are extremely loyal to Bilbao, and there are also own people like Hullen Guerrero who are from the club’s youth training body step by stepit is a rare thing for Hernandez to meet foreign aid like Lizarazu who has both strength and Basque passport and is in line with the club’s top level.
And this extremely narrow range of signings also makes the athletic team in Bilbao very faint. Zhuang Ge, a loyal player of the football manager game, recognized urzaiz, Guerrero, Echeberia, alkorta and other few people after seeing Bilbao’s starting lineup for a long time. He has no impression of others.
In Florence, Capello rotated some positions of the team in the previous league match with AC Milan, so in this game, Capello still put on a set of main players and substitutes to mix and match the starting lineup de Sang Ke, Zambrotta, Hyypia, Starr, fortunato, Lei Dongduo, effenberg, Makelele, Wo Reer, vieri and Inzaghi. These are the starting eleven players in Florence.
Although this is Florence’s fourth away game in a row in the past half month, the players don’t seem to be bothered too much. In the face of the menacing Basque lions, most of the players played a very high level of competition in the game, and they beat the home game of Athletic Bilbao in half a day!
Although Guerrero, as always, led the team to fight hard and assisted urzaiz to score a goal to equalize the score in the twentieth minute of the game, the Spanish team’s habitual heavy attack and light defense still gave Fiorentina players too many counterattacks; When the team defended, it almost didn’t completely rely on the bad habits of the defenders’ personal abilities, which made vieri and Inzaghi feel at home in the restricted area of athletic Bilbao.
In the 22nd minute, Zambrotta forcibly broke through carlos garcia’s defense on the right, then the high ball made a short acceleration in the restricted area of vieri, and then jumped high to keep an eye on him. alkorta headed for the ball!
Power! Deterrence! Vieri’s greatest advantage is revealed at this time!
In the face of vieri’s thunderous header, the goalkeeper of Bilbao came and waved his gloves and the ball quickly entered the athletic gate of Bilbao! A match!
When vieri headed the ball into the athletic gate of Bilbao, the whole San Mames Stadium was suddenly left, and more than 1000 Florence fans cheered with the team!
Seeing the ball fly into the goal, vieri clenched his fist and roared, then hugged his teammates! He always likes to play against La Liga teams, because there are few defenders who can compete with him in physical quality, and the defensive strength is far from that of Italian teams. Generally speaking, when it comes to Spanish teams, vieri can always handle the whole defense line of the other team by himself.
In the 36th minute, this time, the ball was sent from fortunato on the left and the player who grabbed the point in front of the door was replaced by Inzaghi. The only thing that didn’t change was the final goal, and the result was 21!
The score fell behind Athletic Bilbao again and was about to organize a counterattack. However, Guerrero’s successful tackle by Wo Reer in the frontcourt made the situation in Bilbao worse againLei Dongduo’s backcourt director accurately found vieri’s head, and the latter horse ferried the ball to Da Inzaghi, who was guarded by people, and Super Pi Bo succeeded in pushing the ball at the penalty spot to rewrite the score to 31!
Inzaghi’s goal has dealt a great blow to the morale of Bilbao players. It is no wonder that no matter which team is hit by such a sap when it is planning to counterattack, its morale will be affected to some extent.
The score is ahead and the morale is dominant. The balance of victory is gradually tilting in the direction of Florence.
Chapter 692 Getting Better (2)
Although the opponent scored three goals at halftime, the athletic Bilbao players did not give up the game. They led by Guerrero, the core of the team, constantly launched an offensive towards the Florence gate in an attempt to safeguard their master’s dignity at the San Mames Stadium.
However, the ideal is fullness, but the reality is skinny. Although Athletic Bilbao, the runnerup in La Liga, has a fairly good starting lineup, like many shortlived teams in a certain season, their main lineup strength is not inferior to those giants, but when you look at the depth and hardness of the bench, it is no different from tofu. If you have to go hand in hand with China in Europe, these teams will often be quite miserable.
The most typical example is Zhuang Ge’s previous Certa team, which won the fourth place in La Liga in 23 seasons. Although they made it to the top 16 of the Champions League in the following season, their performance in the league was terrible. At the end of the season, they were directly relegated!
Therefore, in terms of overall strength and individual quality of players, the situation of Athletic Bilbao was stabilized. The Florence players did not give the Basque lion a chance to turn over in the halfgame, but also helped the other side to press for another quick counterattack and sneak attack!
In the end, Florence beat Athletic Bilbao 41 away, and the two victories in the Champions League group stage of the season topped the group!
