Juventus was defeated by Fiorentina 3-1 away. After the news of his second defeat on the league this season, the entire Italian football world couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thought that Juventus was invincible in his condition, and he thought that these guys had achieved great success.
You should know that since Vieira announced his transfer to Juventus, almost all the teams that are determined to win are afraid of the Zebras, which have greatly increased their strength, and have listed it as the most threatening opponent. Even if Juventus lost to AC Milan in the league before, it did not make people doubt it. After all, in that game, the Zebras did not play with the strongest lineup. Tulam's suspension caused Juventus' strict defensive system to have a big crack, which is also the main reason why they lost their first game in the league.
Now, with Juventus' main players exerting all their main players, the Zebras were hit by Fiorentina at Frankie Stadium, and was mercilessly beaten one to three by Purple Lily, losing this key battle that was related to the leader's ownership almost without any fighting back. Such an unexpected result made all the head coaches feel curious about this game, and they have begun to study the game between Juventus and Fiorentina, trying to find some tricks that can effectively deal with the Zebras.
Especially those coaches in Serie A and those head coaches who are likely to play against Juventus in the Champions League are extremely important to this business. They know very well that if they can find flaws or shortcomings in Juventus' lineup in this game, then when they face the Zebras, they will have more confidence to deal with Juventus.
I have to say that these head coaches are still very talented and knowledgeable. It took only about a week to find the fatal loopholes in Juventus' current lineup: First, Juventus lacks imagination and creativity at the offensive end. Once the opponent scores first in the game, they who are not good at taking the initiative will fall into an extremely passive situation. This is the case with Florence just ended. Vincent's goal forced Juventus to take the initiative, and the result was that Purple Lily completely grasped the initiative of the game and lost this key game. The second point is that with other top goals such as Florence
Compared with the Zebras' bench depth is really a bit terrible. As long as the main players in the midfield and backcourt are injured, their overall strength will drop significantly, giving other teams an opportunity to take advantage of! The game with AC Milan is the best proof. The absence of a Touram makes Juventus' defense problem, which is almost unimaginable in Fiorentina - even if Nesta is injured, Mourinho also has two genuine central defenders, Gambellini and Thiago Silva, as well as two players who can play guest center back positions in Zivo and Heinze, which has a far less obvious impact on the team's combat effectiveness.
Trapatoni and Juventus management have also tried to solve these two problems, but the result is obvious. Until now, they have not been able to properly solve these problems. The lack of creativity on the offensive end and insufficient depth of the bench are still two major problems that hinder Juventus from challenging Fiorentina's dominance in Italian football.
Therefore, in the eyes of these head coaches, if you want to defeat Juventus, in addition to praying that these main players under Trapatoni will be absent from the game for some reason, the best way is to launch a rush attack after the game starts and score a goal as soon as possible, forcing the Zebras to give up the steady-state counterattack to attack, so as to gain more quick counterattacks and shooting opportunities.
That's right, but don't forget, in today's European football, how many teams are capable of breaking the turtle shell of the Zebras before Juventus succeeds in counterattack? Most teams probably don't even have the ability to crack Juventus' defense, let alone take the initiative in the game by snatching offense - if someone really dares to do this, then the probability of them being taught by Juventus will be higher.
You know, even Fiorentina did not dare to take it lightly when attacking before Vincent scored the deadlock-breaking goal, not to mention that these defenses were not as stable as Fiorentina's teams?
Now getting back to the point, with this victory worth six points, Fiorentina successfully surpassed Juventus in the standings, defeating the Zebras with a slight advantage, and returning to the league leader!
In the same season, they defeated Juventus, who was an old opponent and mortal enemy. Especially for the second time, they defeated a Zebra Legion, which was regarded as extremely difficult to defeat, greatly enhancing the confidence of Fiorentine players.
As a result, Fiorentina, with great morale, won four games in the next three league games and one Champions League group stage. While ensuring that it reached the top 16 of the Champions League, it also ended all the matches in 2005 as the Winter Champions League champion!
As time entered 2006, the results of the new European Golden Ball Awards and World Football Masters have also been released. Although Fiorentina only won one Serie A championship in the 2004-05 season, the record was much worse than the peak time difference, due to the overall strong performance of the Serie A team in the European arena (the Champions League semi-finals of the Champions League and the Cup winners championships were also won by Serie A team), and the popularity accumulated over the years, in the final selection, Andre Pirlo, who has excellent skills and image and is more well-known in the international football world, won the World Football Masters, while European Football Masters were won by Andre Shevchenko, a former Fiorentina player and now AC Milan star!
AC Milan fans are naturally not satisfied with this result. In their opinion, Shevchenko, who led the team to the Champions League championship, is obviously more qualified to win the World Footballer. Why did he choose Pirlo, and Sheva only got the third place?
Of course, Fiorentina naturally strongly supports Pirlo's award, and at the same time, she did not forget to confront her: "Shevchenko was either recuperating from the second half of the year or falling into a goal drought, and her performance was completely incomparable to the first half of the year. If he was chosen as the World Footballer, that would be truly unfair!"
