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

PS3: I would like to thank the book friend "Big King Yuyu Yuyu" for the reward.

"Jose, I didn't expect that he actually used the three-midfield configurations of Gattuso, Marklele and Barack in this game." After seeing Mourinho's arrangement of troops, Zhuang Mingge, who came to watch the game, said, "Through a large amount of running and pressing, the opponent's players participating in the attack did not have enough space for the attack and pass route, and then made their mistakes to launch a counterattack... It was indeed in line with Jose's usual tactical style."

Compared with his predecessor and teacher Heinquez, Mourinho obviously pays more attention to defense and also pays more attention to the huge impact of off-ball running on the game. For example, if every player on the field runs one kilometer more than Lazio players in the same position, then the Purple Lily players will definitely be more likely to form a situation where more and less play on both offense and defense than the Blue Eagles players. In this way, as long as it is not luck or the players are in a particularly bad state, Fiorentina will definitely be more likely to take the initiative on both offense and defense.

It is precisely because of this small difference in football philosophy that Gattuso, a player who was only regarded as an additional midfield defense by the Germans during Heinkes coaching, got more opportunities to perform after Mourinho came on stage!

In Mourinho's view, although Gattuso has almost no concept of defensive position, he also has advantages that other players do not have, that is, his extremely vigorous energy and never-give up the game style!

With these two things, coupled with his fierce but not fierce game style and conscientious defensive attitude, Mourinho, who has always attached importance to defense, has included Gattuso as the team's key development target.

Anyone on the court must actively participate in the defense, control the opponent's activity space through a large amount of unball runs and systematic defensive positions and cut off their passing routes, forcing them to rely on their personal abilities to break through to complete the attack. After they choose this, Lazio players will fall into one defensive trap set by Mourinho, and then throw the ball under their feet in the siege of Fiorentina players. This is the defensive strategy specially formulated for the Fiorentina first team after Mourinho absorbed the successful experience of Chelsea and Greece and other teams.

Sure enough, after the game began, the Fiorentine midfield trio, Barack, Gattuso and Marklele, quickly disrupted Lazio's game rhythm with fierce physical confrontation and physical pressing, and almost completely cut off the connection between the Blue Hawks midfield and the front line trident, causing Lazio's midfield and frontcourt to experience serious disconnection!

Although Deco and Davis once played in Fiorentina and were familiar with Purple Lily's pressing method, they could work on the court with their experience and technical skills, and try their best to let their teammates play at the rhythm of their familiar game, but Feorre was not able to do it. This rare technical midfielder in Italian football has tried his best to not lose the ball under the pressing of Barack and others, and he really has no extra energy to devote himself to other aspects.

Despite his excellent skills and comprehensive skills among midfielders, the disadvantages of running without the ball and physical fitness make it difficult for Feore to play his due strength in such high-intensity games. Faced with the ubiquitous defense and pressing of Fiorente players, Feore, who was a little confused, began to gradually fall into silence, throwing the task of organizing offense to his two teammates Deco and Davis, and he played stealth games on the court. Occasionally, he received passes from his teammates several times and often did nothing under the pressure of Barack and others, making it difficult to organize threatening attacks.

With Feore's invisibility, Lazio began to gradually fall into a disadvantage in the midfield competition. Although Davis and Deco were very good in their abilities, it was difficult for these two to help the Blue Eagles re-establish their connection with Ronaldo and Drogba in the frontcourt. After all, the former is now a 31-year-old veteran, and his running ability is not as good as his peak period. Moreover, the ability to connect to the midfield is not his job at all. Although the latter was trained as Redondo's successor in Fiorentina, he is not good at dribbling through the ball, not to mention that after Feore's invisibility, Lazio often faces a situation of playing less and more in the midfield. Deco, who wasted a lot of energy to get rid of opponents' pressing, naturally had no energy to take care of these things.

In the 24th minute of the game, Feore was surrounded by Barack, Gattuso and Vincent, who was retreating to defend while dribbling the ball. He fell into the trap and was intercepted by Fiorentina again, throwing the ball under his feet!

Feore suddenly lost the ball in the midfield and shot the Lazio player who was about to push the formation to attack. They didn't expect that Feore would be successfully intercepted by his opponent at this critical moment. Therefore, when Davis was the first to react and rushed towards Vincent, who was driving the ball to counterattack, there were still many players in Lazio running towards the Fiorente goal.

Although Davis successfully blocked Espanyol before Vincent dribbled the ball and speeded up, Vincent was not the kind of young man who was stubborn and knew how to drive the ball and break through without thinking about anything else. Seeing the Dutch wild boar appear in front of him, Vincent first made a fake move to drive the ball to the left, then shook his ankle and passed the ball to the other side of the court! There, Ronaldo, who had gotten rid of Maxville's defense, was running forward at high speed along the right side of the court!

After receiving Vincent's pass, Ronaldo did not give Lazio players a foul or a yellow card to interrupt the opportunity to counterattack quickly. After a brief observation of his teammate's running position, Ronaldo, who pretended to continue to dribble, directly picked the ball over Favalli's head and passed the ball to Milito, who successfully counterattacked! Single shot!

Cech, who was slowing down, failed to dive into the ball Milito shot. When the Czech goalkeeper fell on the turf, he heard the cheers of the fans - obviously, these cheers were not made by Lazio fans.

In this way, relying on a quick counterattack in the first half, Fiorentina, who lacked Pirlo, a midfielder, unexpectedly led Lazio with one goal in the first half and took the lead in this Italian Super Cup match!
