In Lazio, Stankovic, the other two midfielders, has always been regarded as DeWitt players. Naturally, it can be seen that his strength lies in running and longrange shooting, especially in counterattack. Davis did have a quick serve at his peak, but at the age of 32, he is no longer the Dutch wild boar who can run all over the field. In Mancini, he needs him to contribute more on the defensive end. With limited energy, Davis naturally will not put much attention into the attack.
It’s ok if Ronaldinho is pulled back and let the Brazilian wizard take on the ball player in the counterattack, but in this way, the Biancocelesti will be able to invest in the counterattack, leaving Jiuli alone. It is really unpredictable whether he can grab the ball surrounded by Starr and Lucio.
Let Giulio fight Florence’s entire defense line and Buffon, the world’s number one god, Mourinho doesn’t think that the French have this thing. If Giulio had this strength, he wouldn’t have been compressed by rising stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery and left Florence.
To sum up, Mourinho doesn’t think Lazio’s counterattack can create enough threat, or that by the time they pass the halfcourt, it is estimated that Florence will have already set up the defense line …
So Mancini and Mourinho, the two coaches, deliberately arranged the battle. First, they started at Lazio’s halfcourt. In Pirlo, they commanded the Fiorentina players to work steadily and step by step, pulling the Biancocelesti defense line through nonstop ball and crosstransposition, thus creating a chance to kick the door. Lazio players were nervous and stuck to the 30meter area in front of the door to prepare for a quick counterattack after intercepting the opponent’s ball to teach Fiorentina to be a man!
However, it seems that Lady Luck didn’t take care of Biancocelesti today. Lazio was hit hard before it was implemented. It was only five minutes after the game. Ballack kicked a longrange shot 30 meters in front of the door and was rashly touched by Mexes. After that, he changed his line and hit the right column and bounced into the goal!
A match! Only five minutes after the game, Florence pulled back a city with a lucky goal and saw a glimmer of hope to advance to the final!
Chapter 1331 It is really dangerous
While fiorentina players were celebrating this unexpected goal on the sidelines, the Lazio side was silent at this time. All the Biancocelesti players looked at their own doors in disbelief, as if they had not accepted the reality that it took their opponents five minutes to score.
Mexes, the French central defender, couldn’t wait to find a crack in the ground to avoid people’s questioning and blaming eyes. After all, if he hadn’t blocked the ball at that time, it would have been impossible if the ball suddenly changed course and hit Cech behind him in sports.
However, although many Lazio fans are complaining about Mexes’ unnecessary actions in the game at this time, they also know that the French are just doing bad things with good intentions and naturally will not blame him too much for this goal.
What’s more, it is obvious to all that the defensive quality of Lazio’s defense line has improved after the acquisition of Mexes. If it is because such a mistake is not a matter, then all the efforts of Mexes in the season will be denied and he will be plunged into perdition, then which central defender will dare to play in Lazio?
For defenders, fans often don’t remember how many goals they contributed or how many times they successfully defended, but they still remember the mistakes they made in the game, which is also the most common phenomenon in football. Therefore, even if some fans don’t understand and complain about Mexes’ reckless behavior after the game, Lazio executives and Mancini will not put this promising young central defender in the cold or abandon him for this reason.
Just as Lazio players fell silent because of this unexpected goal, Mancini on the sidelines hesitated at this time. Florence’s goal disrupted many of his prematch arrangements and made Lazio’s lead no longer as obvious as it was when he first entered the game, which made Mancini have a little doubt about whether the team would continue to implement the defensive counterattack strategy in the future.
Although he had expected the counterattack of Florence before the game, Mancini never expected that Florence would regain a city so quickly and rewrite the total score by one to two. This fact not only shocked Mancini deeply, but also made the Italian rumble feel a little shaken about his pregame tactical arrangement. After all, if Florence continues to maintain this offensive momentum and score goals again, Lazio will have worked hard to establish a leading position in the first leg.
However, if we change our tactics, take the initiative to attack in the next game and rush to tie the total score, Florence will have a hardfought battle. Mancini is also not very at ease. In Mancini’s view, such doubts will make Lazio’s defensive weakness more obvious and Milito, who is good at grasping opportunities, will get more chances to shoot. This is not what he wants to see.
After careful consideration, the defensive thought finally took hold in Mancini’s mind. Lazio Jong decided to maintain the status quo and let the team continue to find opportunities to fight Florence. In Manjo’s view, if the team still finds it difficult to fight back in the next game, it is not too late for him to make adjustments.
So after the game resumed, Lazio players continued to put on a defensive posture to deal with Florence at the square half. After getting the ball, everyone almost went to the frontcourt for Ronaldinho Wakuri to launch a counterattack through these two players, thus threatening Florence’s goal.
It is a common problem for most Serie A coaches to hold on to the defense before thinking about the attack, and Mancini is no exception, Mourinho said proudly to Lala. I knew he would think this way so that the players would continue to attack after scoring the goal. If Zeman were the crazy attacker, I don’t think I would dare to do so. God knows what his team will do after kicking out.
But we can get to this point thanks to Ballack’s early goal, which makes Lazio more afraid of our attack and further reduces the investment in counterattack, so that we can focus on the two most threatening points of Ronaldinho Wakuri. Otherwise, even Alessandro (Sta) and Lucio may find it difficult to successfully defend in oneonone situations. Once they succeed in counterattack, our Champions League trip will stop. In Lala’s eyes, Mourinho asked. It’s still risky for the team to take the initiative to attack. After all, these players in Lazio’s frontcourt are very strong in their personal abilities. It is enough for Florence to be sentenced to death because of an negligence or defensive failure in the defense line.
how can we recover that disadvantage of bee two goals behind in the first leg without take some risks? Mourinho took a funny look at Lala and said, You can’t expect us to increase our strength against Mancini’s tortoise shell and keep the defense as steady as before, can you?
Lala nodded his head when he heard the news. He also felt that he was a little too eager for perfection just now. If he wanted to tie the total score and win a ticket to Istanbul, Florence could choose to attack and invest less on the defensive end. In this way, Mourinho’s slightly risky decision seemed reasonable.
If you don’t attack, you will definitely be eliminated, so why not take a chance? This is the main reason why Mourinho let the team take the initiative in this game.
Florence’s successive offensives have brought tremendous defensive pressure to Lazio, and at the same time, the Biancocelesti players’ mental will has been in a tense state. Although they also want to counterattack to threaten their opponents’ goals and make Florence afraid when attacking, in Florence, players do not hesitate to force and run at a high physical strength. Lazio’s counterattack is often successfully intercepted by Viola’s smallscale number advantage before it is played …
So when Milito scored a goal from Vincent in the penalty area and tied the total score to 22, many Lazio players breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. The pressure on Viola was so strong that they gave up the ball that they could fight hard in the halfcourt and couldn’t even fight back in the plan.
Mancini, on the other hand, turned pale at this time. Only then did he realize that Lazio’s promotion situation had become very dangerous after being suppressed by Florence.
Chapter 1332 Unexpected
Milito’s goal helped Florence to equalize the total score, and at the same time it completely woke up. Mancini, who had been immersed in the dream of defeating Viola and marching into Istanbul, finally realized how ridiculous it was to fantasize about leading his team to win the Champions League final before solving Florence’s formidable situation.
Seeing that the lead of Lazio’s two goals was already swinging before the halftime, Mancini finally realized how serious the consequences of his former conservatism had brought to the team. For this unexpected situation, Mancini could adjust the team’s tactics so that the players could strengthen their attack and try to regain the lead they had just lost!
After all, Florence has been trying to fill in the first leg of the match between the two teams, digging a big pit and pressing the attack, but also forcing the high position to grab such a defensive way that consumes the players’ physical strength. Therefore, after tying the total score, Florence players are bound to relax in the coming period to alleviate the fatigue caused by the previous highintensity competition, which is Lazio’s best chance to regain the initiative!
In this way, after the resumption of the game, I got the latest instructions from Mancini. Lazio players under Deco’s command launched a rather fierce attack on Fiorentina’s halfcourt, trying to take advantage of the opportunity of Fiorentina’s players entering the rest period to regain the lead in the overall score of the game!
However, Florence, which has already played an imposing role, can easily resist the repeated blows by Lazio? Or Mancini let the team take the initiative in this situation, which is just right for Mourinho Wynn, so that Florence can shrink its formation and play a defensive counterattack, and the wings of Livvincent and Cristiano Ronaldo will attack Lazio’s defense!
Unlike Lazio, where the counterattack speed is relatively slow, Florence has Pirlo, a very accurate master with a long ball, in the midfield, so Florence is much more threatening in defensive counterattack than Lazio.
Lazio players are clearly aware of the great threat of Florence in the counterattack and have played against Viola many times, and they are more cautious. After all, they have to play against Viola twice a year, and they are quite familiar with the tactical play of the opposing players. Although Florence has changed its head coach this season, Mourinho’s coaching philosophy has been greatly influenced by Heinks, so Florence’s play has not changed much.
In the fiftyfourth minute of the game, Stankovic slammed the door outside the penalty area and Lucio flew to block Starr’s shot. Drogba cleared the ball out of the penalty area and received this clearance ball. Pirlo dodged Stankovic’s counterattack under Barak’s cover and then inserted the ball directly to the left. Vincent!
Pancaro, who is 33 years old, has already passed his peak, and his physical fitness is slippery. Vincent can say that there is no way to watch the Spanish winger go all the way, but he tried his best to keep pace with the other side
Mancini’s worst fear has finally come true at this time. It is true that the average age of Lazio’s defense line has been greatly reduced after the injection of fresh blood such as Cech, Maxwell and Mexes, including Gro and mikhailovich. These have greatly improved the Biancocelesti’s defense line compared with the season. However, pancaro’s defense on the right is still the weakness of Lazio’s defense line. After all, although the veteran’s skills and consciousness are still there, his physical fitness is slippery, which makes him very difficult to defend many speed players, which often leads him to become the key target of his opponent’s attack.
Alas, it seems that we have to find a qualified rightback in the transfer market this summer. It is still too hard to rely on pancaro alone. Seeing that Vincent is falling further and further, pancaro Mancini can’t help but sigh. After all, pancaro and his teammates fought side by side when he played for Lazio. It is also quite uncomfortable for Manqiao to fall into this position.
Getting rid of pancaro and leaving everyone behind except Petr Cech, Vincent didn’t have a wave. The Spaniard made a simple stop and easily swayed the shooting angle and sent the ball into the goal in front of him!
Three to one! Florence lost two goals in the first leg, and made an incredible turnaround by pulling three goals in a row in this game!
With the advantage of holding two goals in hand, Florence pulled three goals in a row. Mancini’s face has been slapped by him tonight. Of course, when the game is over, those reporters who are like wolves will definitely sprinkle a handful of salt on Mancho’s bloody wound.
Although Vincent’s goal helped Florence take the lead in the total score, the negative impact of continuous fighting on the players’ physical fitness gradually emerged, and the Florence players became less active in running and fighting than before, which gave Lazio players who had almost been stunned a breathing space to regroup and compete for the Champions League final ticket!
So just when everyone knew that Florence was about to get tickets to Istanbul’s Champions League final, there was not much eyecatching performance in the whole game, but at the last moment of the game, Ronaldinho had an epiphany and sent Viola from heaven to hell!
At halftime injury stoppage time, Ronaldinho cruised on the left side of the court and suddenly accelerated to start after receiving Deco’s points. First, a bull’s tail passed through Derossi’s defense, and then he picked up the ball and ran through the gap between Zambrotta and Starr.
Although Buffon Ma made a decisive attack and tried his best to block Ronaldinho’s shooting angle, all his moves did not help in front of the Brazilian elves. He made a pendulum pass like Ronaldo and pushed Ronaldinho a priceless goal lightly. His wonderful personal performance at Frankie Stadium ended perfectly!
One to three! In the end, thanks to Ronaldinho’s personal performance in injury time, Lazio escaped from the world at the last minute and scored 33 in the total score. With the advantage of away goal, Florence was eliminated and reached the Champions League final for the first time!
Chapter 1333 After the exit
After the game, the stands of Frankie Stadium were silent. More than 3,000 Lazio fans from afar celebrated the Biancocelesti’s successful promotion to the Champions League final in the corner of the stadium. At this time, the fans in Florence all went into silence. Obviously, Florence was blocked from the Champions League final at the last minute by the opponent on the grounds of scoring more goals away from home. This reality is really unacceptable to them.
Ronaldinho’s first goal at the end of the game can be said to be valuable, which not only made Lazio escape from the desperate situation, but also finally saw the dawn of hope. Florence once again pushed into the abyss and let Viola miss the Champions League final for the second year in a row.
You know, the degree of commercialization is getting more and more developed, and now the Champions League has become a cake that all teams covet. Every time a team goes further before the Champions League, it will get millions of dollars, which is not counting the tickets and other commercial income. Therefore, it is said that Ronaldinho’s goal is worth a thousand dollars.
Although the Champions League final has brought a lot of economic losses to Florence, it is not a problem for Viola. After all, even if it is as strong as Florence, it is impossible to guarantee that it will reach the Champions League final every year. Therefore, when making the team budget before the season, this part of the income will naturally not be counted when making the budget. Moreover, the commercial value of Florence, which has been painstakingly managed in kenyon for many years, has been very perfect, and even Real Madrid has its profitability. What’s more, the club has always had a very strict control over the salary of the team, which makes Florence still in a profitable state even if it reaches the final of the Champions League. There is no need for Zhuang Ge to pay for the loss with his own money like Berlusconi and Moratti.
Therefore, for Florence, it is necessary to ensure that the team can win the Champions League every season and get the seats in the Champions League, so the financial situation of Viola will never be a problem!
Although Florence finally fell outside the door of the Champions League final, after the game, the media generally praised Viola for her strong willpower and indomitable spirit in the game, and almost led Florence to complete the reversal in this game. Mourinho also received high praise from the media and fans. Most people agreed that this young coach with little glamorous resume and the Portuguese’s teaching ability was comparable to that of the top coaches in Europe, which hindered Mourinho from entering the top ranks of famous coaches. With him, there were not many championship trophies dotted with honor books.
Contrary to Mourinho’s treatment, Mancini, the winner, was widely criticized after the game. Many people thought that Lazio could finally reach the Champions League final, mainly because Florence invested too much energy in the league battlefield, which led to excessive consumption. They could not go there in the Champions League and gave Lazio a chance to score the winner at the last minute. Otherwise, Mancini’s coaching level would never have led the Biancocelesti to beat Florence, let alone advance to the Champions League final.
It is also right to question Mancini from all walks of life. After all, it is an indisputable fact that the team was almost reversed by Florence when it was two goals ahead. Mancini also has nothing to argue, or that Mancini’s performance in the game is just the most powerful evidence to refute his previous remarks!
After all, in the face of a team that is not in the best condition, Florence can lose all the advantages of playing two goals in the first leg. It is not surprising that Mancini, the opponent, was questioned about his coaching ability.
Under the influence of public opinion, Abramovich also changed his mind about coaching. After watching the second leg of the Champions League semifinal, the Russian oil tycoon was also dissatisfied with Mancini’s onthespot command and coaching ability. A layman in football could also see that Mancini’s performance in this game was poor. In his eyes, this head coach has become Lazio’s biggest weakness and the biggest obstacle to the Biancocelesti’s transformation into a toplevel giant!
So the idea of changing coaches came into being. Abu instructed Begiristan to secretly contact famous coaches from all walks of life to see if anyone would like to come to Lazio to pick up Mancini.
Now that we are out of the Champions League, the remaining League titles can compete for Florence. Naturally, we will devote all our energy to Serie A. As Viola concentrates on the League battlefield, Florence will have a few opponents, which will be a disaster.
In the 35th round of Serie A, Fiorentina players will be eliminated by the Biancocelesti, and their resentment is vented on their opponent Chievo, who beat the team that once created the miracle of flying donkeys.
Dinatale, vieri and Inzaghi each scored a goal in the game, and Ribery helped Florence score twice. Finally, Florence won a 40 victory at Tegotti Stadium and continued to lead the standings by five points!
In this way, if Juventus want to regain these five points disadvantages and beat Viola in the ranking (that is, when the points are the same, the total number of goals exceeds Florence or the points are ahead), it must take these last three games and expect Florence to get four points in the last three rounds, which is obviously a very low probability for Florence, which has no interference from European competitions and no largescale injuries.
It can be said that with the victory over Chievo, the Serie A champion is already waving to Florence, and what Mourinho and Florence players need to do at this time is to take two more victories to completely grasp the league title in their hands!
Chapter 1334 Revenge War (1)
It has a fivepoint lead and is far ahead of Juventus in the number of goals. In any case, Florence has a very high probability of winning the Serie A trophy at the end of the season, so it is impossible for Juventus to complete the turnaround in the standings!
