Chapter 574 Before the Winter Break (3)
Can Ancelotti, who was one move after winning Capello's psychological battle before the game, get back to this disadvantage in the game? Of course, the answer is no.
In the offensive battle, although Parma's players relied on their youth and enthusiasm to launch a rush to Fiorentina's goal, they had little effect in front of the Fiorentina defense line led by Nesta. This is not to say that Crespos are not working hard enough, but because Parma's control over the game is too weak.
Feorre and Zemaria are just assaulters with good personal skills. They lack a big picture view and can only be used as engineers. Dino Baggio is a top defensive midfielder, and his long shot in the back is also awesome, but he cannot become the team's offensive and defensive conversion hub in the back midfielder position like Redondo; so in fact, Parma's core organization is still Stanichi in the front midfielder position.
Therefore, once Stanić is stared at by Redondo, the threat of Parma players to Fiorentina goal will be greatly reduced. Without the Croatian dispatch in the midfield, Parma's offense seems to be very lively, but in fact it is loud and the rain is small, and it cannot form a threatening shot at all.
Looking at Florence, the existence of three midfield masters, Redondo, Effenberg and Rui Costa, made the home team look extremely gorgeous in terms of passing and cutting, making all fans who came to watch the game feel that this trip is worthwhile; coupled with the personal assaults of Ronaldo and Ze Roberto, Parma's players could not resist the Fiorentina's offensive at all.
"I didn't expect Capello to let his team propose such a wonderful offensive football. It seems that this game is in trouble." Seeing the players on his side running around like headless flies under the continuous and rapid transmission of Redondo and others, Ancelotti frowned and began to think about ways to deal with Florence's tactics.
Ancelotti naturally would not have thought that Fiorentina's pass and cut cooperation seemed gorgeous, but in fact Capello still adhered to his practical and supreme style - the pass of the midfield master trio was just to pull out the space for passing the ball to Zeroberto and Ronaldo, and the two Brazilians' assault was to attract more than two Parma defensive players to double-team, thus creating a chance for Vieri in the middle.
After all, neither Cannavaro nor San Sini, nor Dino Baggio, are the opponents of Vieri who are beginning to enter the maturity stage in one-on-one situations. So if Vieri singles out any of them, his chances of scoring will inevitably be greatly improved.
Therefore, in this offensive game, Vieri, who was strong and slow, became the focus of the field. He first took Ze Roberto's cross from the wing in the eighth minute of the game and headed the ball to help the team open the first record!
Then, in the 20th minute, Ronaldo, who was driving the ball, cleverly passed the ball to Vieri after he brought Dino Baggio and Cannavaro to his side. The latter used his body to guard him to get the ball. Without waiting for Buffon to attack, he swung his left foot and shot vigorously on the penalty area line. The ball entered the net, 2-0!
The situation of falling behind by two goals made the Parma players start to panic. Although many of them have rich game experience, this time their opponent is Fiorentina, the overlord of European football. The situation of falling behind by two goals so quickly and the fact that their head coach was trapped makes many of them feel a little unsure. This directly led to Parma players starting to make some low-level mistakes on the court.
It seemed that he was infected by this panic, Cannavaro made a big mistake in the game - he accidentally tripped the alien in the penalty area while defending Ronaldo, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. Vieri, who was given the penalty power under the push of his teammates, made a quick run and completed his hat trick in this game!
However, Vieri's goal performance did not end there. Although Ancelotti replaced Feore like a broken-out, and at the same time retreated Zemaria's position to the right back, pushing San Sini to the back position to play double midfielder to strengthen the defense, how could this stop Vieri who was excited?
In the 48th minute, Ronaldo dribbled the ball from the wing, passed Benarivo and Cannavaro continuously, and then passed the ball to the center of the penalty area. Vieri Raw Toram shot. Although Buffon made a save, he still could not stop the ball from entering the net, four to zero!
Although Chiesa fought bravely in the second half, relying on her personal ability and a small-scale cooperation between Stanichi and Crespo to help the Milk Legion chase two goals in the subsequent games, it once allowed Parma fans to see the dawn of away points.
But unfortunately, Silent completely crazy Vieri used his fifth goal in this game to completely destroy the fighting spirit of Parma players - he received a pass from Ze Roberto on the outside of the penalty area, then turned around and shot hard, scoring a goal that was extremely similar to Bati GOAL, freeing the score on the field to 5-2!
In the end, Fiorentina defeated Ancelotti's Milk Legion five-to-two with Vieri's magical performance, winning the 11th round of Serie A, widening the gap between the second place Inter Milan to seven points, and the top spot was quite stable.
Four days later, Fiorentina ushered in its last game before the winter break. In this 13th round of Serie A, Purple Lily will face Atlanta at home.
Losing the midfield core Mofeo and the main center Lucarelli, veteran Rentini also transferred back to Torino this summer. Atlanta's operation of signings was undoubtedly a failure. The once gorgeous offensive line was only left to support it. The new team coach Mondonico's extremely conservative tactical style is incompatible with Atlanta's passionate young guards... Although under Mondonico's training, Atlanta's conceding number of goals concedes much less than the same period last season, Atlanta's players' defensive ability is very limited, making this defensive improvement based on the substantial sacrifice of attack power make it difficult for Atlanta to win, and the team's record has plummeted.
The experienced Capello naturally grasped the shortcomings of Atlanta's defense and serious attack power, so he sent out a very attacking lineup just like the game against Parma.
The result of a big victory over Parma at home four days ago undoubtedly gave the Fiorentine players who were physically and mentally exhausted due to the intensive game. Therefore, in the last official game in 1997, Florence, with a strong morale, was at Frankie Stadium and defeated the visiting Atlanta.
Due to the lack of attack power of the opponent, Fiorentine players devote most of their energy to the offense. Only the central defender combination of Nesta and Stam stayed behind in the backcourt, responsible for guarding Doni, the arrowhead figure in Atlanta formation, to prevent the opponent from hitting his own counterattack.
