Chapter 376 Away Juventus (1)

Although the Wanderers goalkeeper did not take the ball out of the goal four times as in previous league games, Fiorentina fans still sang with satisfaction and cheering loudly back home or finding a bar to celebrate the team's victory.

No matter how the team plays, just win, it's the idea of ​​most Italian fans when watching the team they support.

That is, Italian fans can accept this. If it were Spanish fans, if the team dared to play badly, wait for the next day to be scolded. For these people, the game process is more important than the result.

After returning from Scotland, the Fiorentine players have not had much breathing time as they will face the fourth round of Serie A this weekend.

This game is the finale specially arranged by the Italian Football Association for this round of leagues. Florence's performance in the past two years is perfect. They have almost taken away all the championships they can win. The Zebras, as a veteran team, have also performed quite eye-catching in various competitions over the years, so this game can be said to have attracted a lot of attention.

Sky TV, a subsidiary of Murdoch News Group, was so happy that he couldn't stop. Murdoch Jr. even privately called Florence his lucky star: first, he launched a proposal to open a broadcast contract at the league meeting, giving News Group, which has always been outside the European media department, the opportunity to enter the European continent; the broadcast of the D section D section last Saturday also made a small profit because of the addition of Florence; this time, Sky TV encountered a battle between Juventus and Florence again! If it was operated well, it would allow News Group to open up the Italian market!

On the evening of September 29, Zhuang Mingge politely declined the proposal of Mo Fox to watch the game in the same private room, and appeared in another private room at Alp Stadium with Groz and Karin.

"From the physical reserve, Juventus will have some slight advantages. Although both teams had a fierce Champions League match in the middle of the week, considering that Fiorentina was away against the Scottish team Wanderers, while Juventus was in the Alpes field to win a big game against the Swiss champion Zurich Grasshoppers. In both games, Juventus had a home advantage and the physical consumption was much smaller than Florence, which was away for two consecutive away." The commentator of Sky TV in the broadcast room analyzed the strength comparison of the two teams while turning to the special guest of this game, Italian celebrity Antonio Cabrini. "Mr. Cabrini, what do you think of the two teams tonight?"

"From the perspective of the card, Juventus has the advantage in physical fitness, but Fiorentina has the upper hand in the strength of the players." Cabrini's words were unscathed, and it can be said that both sides of the game are not offended. However, he has spent the golden period of his career in the Zebras and he is obviously more concerned about his old club. "No more, just talking about the forward line, the forward line combination of Boksic and Del Pierro is good, but except for these two players, Juventus can't even find a reliable forward substitute."

Juventus is in a forward famine, and this is mainly because Moji is too impatient. In order to help Prince Zebras as soon as possible and to renew the team, he hurriedly sent Ravanelli, whose form began to decline to Middlesbrough without confirming the signing, and also sold his captain Viali to Chelsea.

However, the failure of seducing Vieri really caught Moji off guard. The old fox Mo did not expect that Vieri, as a "outsider", would be so loyal to Florence. He originally thought that using the main position plus a good salary could make the striker obediently.

Although Boksic was introduced from Lazio as a stand-in, judging from the performance of these official games in the warm-up matches, the Croatian center's goal efficiency is not even as good as that of Lavanelli, who has left the team. The lack of another stable firepower point makes the pressure of the goal completely resting on Pierro's shoulders alone. After all, Juventus' midfielder's goal-scoring ability is quite limited.

What's worse is that after sending Viali and Lavanelli away in succession, Juventus can no longer find a striker with enough strength to rotate Boksic and Pierro. Two local players, Nicola Amoruso and Michele Padovano, are OK to deal with some mid- and lower-level teams, but it is obviously not level enough to compete with a strong team like Fiorentina.

Just as Cabrini and the commentator were doing pre-match analysis in the broadcast room, the players on both sides had already walked out of the player channel and stood on the turf of the Alp Stadium.

For Juventus, because Van Plague's Ajax stubbornly resisted the seduction of Van der Sar this summer, the starting goalkeeper of the Zebras is still Peruzzi. However, his performance this season is much better than in the previous two years, which is mainly thanks to Blank's successful transformation. The central defender, who has scored double-digit goals for five consecutive seasons, has begun to become calm as he grows older and has made great progress in filling up positions. His transformation is successful

The Juventus defense line, which has always been unstable, finally found a reliable backbone. Juliano and Montero can also be assured and bold as to snatch it up without having to worry about their backs. At the same time, since Pesotto and Toricelli both played the whole game in the mid-week Champions League match, Lippi arranged a five-32 formation in this game for consideration of the players' condition. Blanc, Uliano and Montero lined up in the middle, and Dilivio and Sergio Polini were separated.

As for the midfield of the Zebras, there were not many changes. The French national team captain Deschamps was still the midfielder. Zidane, who was introduced from Monaco, was responsible for organizing the offense and controlling the rhythm. Yugovic had to play the role of an auxiliary on both ends of the offense and defense, sharing part of the pressure for the two Frenchmen.

There is nothing to say about the front line. Boksic and Pierro's starting lineup is indisputable. If Amoruso or Padovano is sent, it must be Lippi's brains - those two parallel players will not be killed by Fiorentina's defense line when they are put on the court?

Due to physical fitness problems in Fiorentina, Capello made considerable adjustments to the starting lineup of this game. Tordo, Robert Carlos, Nesta and Ferrara, who had no major physical problems, all started the game, while the right back was replaced by Bilindley, Redondo, Rui Costa and Bati were also removed from the starting lineup by Capello due to physical fitness problems.

At the same time, considering the important role Zidane played in Juventus, Capello, who was unwilling to take risks away, arranged a combination of Dibiagio, Davis and Thomassi, which attached extreme defense importance to each other, in the midfield, Effenberg was in front of these three people. He was responsible for providing fire support to the two forwards wearing the captain's armband in this game.

On the forward line, there is a combination of Ronaldo and Inzagi, so it is no problem to let aliens who are not troubled by injuries occasionally play in a weekly double game.
