Since Mourinho and Mancini attach great importance to the direct confrontation between the two teams, and not long ago, both sides had just fought for 180 minutes in the Champions League, they were quite familiar with each other's tactical styles, so the two head coaches did their preparations before the game, and they wanted to make every possible move of their opponents remember to memorize them.

The result of Mourinho and Mancini doing this is that Nesta and others dream about this game this week even dreamed of sleeping. Even Inzagi, Carlos, Ronaldinho and others who like to play the most are not inspiring to visit their favorite nightclubs.

Although they were deeply complaining about the coach's approach, neither Fiorentina nor Lazio's players chose to sing opposites with their head coach at this time. Because they knew very well that these hard days would last until today at most, and everything would return to its original state when the game ended.

It is precisely because of such sufficient pre-match preparation that after the referee Corina, who was responsible for law enforcement, blew the opening whistle, the players on both sides did not make any moves to test the opponent's background, and they all opened the stage on the court, and launched a fierce confrontation from the first minute of the game!

At this time, it can be seen that the Italian Football Association has been effective in cracking down on malicious fouls in the game this year. Although the players fought fiercely on the court, almost to the point where they must fight for every goal, occasionally there will be a scene where players from both sides are over-invested in the fight, but no players have maliciously injured people or endangered the personal safety of the opponent's players. Therefore, although the players on both sides seem extremely fierce when fighting, in general, the game is still within the scope permitted by the rules.

Although the trio of Deco, Davis and Stankovic cannot have the advantage in the midfield of Fiorentina led by Pirlo, Barack and Marklele, on the defensive end, Fiorentina is also difficult to easily pass Lazio's midfield defense line. Especially when there is an alternative center like Drogba on the court, Lazio's defense intensity in the midfield is undoubtedly stronger than Fiorentina.

In contrast, Fiorentina is a little weaker in this regard. Diego Milito and Vincent can only retreat to help their teammates defend at most. If they are allowed to run all over the field like Drogba, or even retreat to the front of their own penalty area to participate in defense, the final result is likely to be that Milito, who is over-expendable on the defensive end, and they will not have the energy to invest in the offense.

The fierce confrontation between the players of both sides in the midfield led to a very embarrassing result on the court - when it was difficult for both teams to pass the ball safely through the midfield, although the game was fierce, the players of both sides did not have many shots. Whether it was Fiorentina or Lazio, it was difficult for either side to directly penetrate the opponent's defense through the frontal attack.

"I didn't expect that Mancini would work so hard for this game. Didn't he consider that Lazio would have another Champions League final in four days?" Seeing that the straight pass passed by Pirlo to Vincent was destroyed by Davis in the middle of the road, Mourinho was a little surprised. He did not expect that Mancini would send all the main players in this game regardless of the Champions League final four days later.

Although Davis successfully intercepted another attack from Fiorentina and planned to take advantage of the opportunity that Purple Lily had not completed the offensive and defensive conversion to make a quick counterattack, unfortunately, Lazio's counterattack was also not successful. Just as Davis succeeded in stealing, Barack and Vincent, who were closest to the Dutch Wild Boar, quickly rushed towards his position as soon as possible!

So, when Davis controlled the ball, the Dutchman was shocked to find that he was already sandwiched between Vincent and Barack, and there was no room for passing the ball!

In desperation, Davis had to try to drive the ball and break through. However, he was already 32 years old and was no longer the super midfielder who had a domineering breakthrough back then. Ageing age inevitably led to a decline in his physical fitness, which caused Davis to take off the ball by Vincent behind him as soon as he took a step, and the opponent completed a wonderful counter-attack on the spot!

As the midfield double core of Fiorentina's game, Pirlo and Barack knew very well that they had only two ways to score in this situation. First, seize the opportunity of being intercepted by their own players during the attack or counterattack on the spot, and take advantage of the opportunity that the opponent did not complete the offensive and defensive conversion to launch a surprise attack; second, create as many opportunities as possible for frontcourt set pieces, and threaten Lazio's goal through free kicks and corner kicks.

Therefore, after getting the ball that Vincent poked, Barack did not hesitate at all and immediately drove the ball towards Lazio's goal!

Noting Barack's action, Vincent immediately stepped forward along the left side, while Milito in the middle ran to the front right. They used this method to restrain Lazio's defensive power, making it impossible for them to siege the Germans!

However, although Davis' midfield barrier was broken through and his teammates helped attract defensive firepower, Barack's advancement was still hindered - Drogba, the center, rushed back faster than Stankovic and Deko, and got entangled with Barack in front of the penalty area!

Facing Drogba's defense, Barack did not choose to fight the Ivorians with a stubbornness, but made a fake move to break to the bottom line, attracting the opponent to move the center of gravity, then shifted the ball and rushed over from Drogba's left hand!

Although his defensive attitude is very positive, Drogba is only a temporary guest role after all. Many defensive actions are not standardized, and some habits need to be corrected urgently. Therefore, after discovering that Barak's fake moves, the Ivorians, who have lost their center of gravity, subconsciously stretched out their hand and directly pulled the opponent to the ground!

"Beep--" Just as Barack fell to the ground, Corina's whistle also sounded in time. The golden whistle arrived at the scene immediately and decisively awarded Fiorentina a frontcourt free kick with an excellent position of 25 meters away from Lazio's goal!
Chapter completed!
