Chapter 687
PS: I would like to ask for recommendation votes here first. Please support me more. Thank you...
In the San Siro Stadium, AC Milan fans, who have an absolute advantage in numbers, are desperately cheering for the home team in the stands. Some fan organizations even played in the stands, trying to influence the performance of Fiorentine players and thus increase the probability of their team winning.
So far, the game time has passed twenty minutes. In the previous period, AC Milan's offensive was very fierce, and it seems that it has inherited Zacheroni's usual style well.
However, although AC Milan players implemented Zacheroni's tactical ideas well on the court, their offense always gave people a feeling of heavy thunder and low rain. The crosses from both wings were almost destroyed by Stam and Matrazi who were guarding the penalty area. Bierkhov could not get a header or give his teammates the chance to do the ball under the joint defense of the two!
As the team's main scoring point, Bielhof can only work at high altitude, but his foot skills are a mess. He can basically not pose much threat to the opponent's goal in ground battles. Needless to say, Via and Guli on both sides have been firmly stared at by the opponent's opponent from the beginning of the game. Therefore, the single offensive tactics is one of the most obvious shortcomings of AC Milan under Zacheroni on the offensive end.
Zacheroni himself was also helpless. When he coached at Udinese in the past, in addition to Bielhof, Udinese also had two forwards, Amoruso and Pogi, who could cut from the left and right sides, and add to the back; however, in AC Milan, Guli and Via's lack of scoring ability made Bielhof in the middle lane rely on the four midfielders behind him to undertake the scoring task. However, Boban and Albertini's scoring ability is also very average, because they are good at organizing offenses, rather than charging in the front.
When the offense cannot open up, the loopholes of the Red and Black Legion on the defensive end have also become very obvious.
As mentioned earlier, the midfield combination Zacheroni is indeed a good player in offense, but his defensive ability cannot be praised. Only the right wing guarded by Helvig can still support it with the assistance of teammates such as Ayala and Via. Boban and Albertini in the middle can only be considered average. Leonardo on the left is a model of strong offense and weak defense. It is better to arrange for him to defend Madavikia's attack to make up for him on the wing.
But Pirlo, who was responsible for organizing offense in Fiorentina, was still running around on the court and had no fixed position at all, which undoubtedly further increased the difficulty of defensiveness between Boban and Albertini.
It is precisely because of this period of time that Pirlo has initiated about four or five quick counterattacks, from the frontcourt Dinatale and Lyonberg, as well as Ronaldo's quick pass or direct dribbling assault, which eventually turned into an extremely threatening shot!
But Ronaldo's luck today was a bit bad. He didn't catch any of the chances of counterattacks. The ball he shot was either slightly off the goal post or directly kicked into Old Rossi's arms, or could not cross the white line in front of him!
This also surprised Zacheroni on the sidelines, thinking that Rossi wore reading glasses today, or did he ask someone to cure his dizzy old habit? Why did he act so bravely today, and he even snatched the alien and shot a few times...
Ronaldo is running on the court, which Fiorentina coaching staff has been constantly emphasizing in training, because a player who is lazy to run will easily be restricted by the opponent's central defender. Although he can also forcibly throw away the opponent's defender through his dribbling skills and speed to complete the attack, doing so will undoubtedly greatly increase the probability that the defenders will violate him.
Therefore, although it takes a lot of physical strength to do a lot of physical strength to perform a lot of off-ball running on the court, for Ronaldo, it is undoubtedly a good or bad thing to avoid being savage fouls from opponents and reduce the probability of injury. After all, for any professional player, being able to stay away from the troubles of injuries and thus extending his or her career life is something they are very much looking forward to.
Therefore, the aliens who were arranged by the coaching staff kept running on the court, making the three central defenders led by Maldini unable to control him in close combat, because if they really targeted Ronaldo, the defense line would soon be scattered by this seemingly clueless running!
Although he wasted several scoring opportunities, Ronaldo was not panicked. After all, no striker could guarantee that he would never miss any opportunity. He would have bad luck. Therefore, Ronaldo was very patient on the court and kept looking for the next opportunity to break through the defense line in front of him while running.
However, this opportunity seemed to come earlier than what aliens expected.
In the 24th minute, AC Milan launched another offensive. After receiving Albertini's straight pass, Boban dribbled past Pirlo who was heading forward to defend, and then passed the ball to George Via who was pulling to the right before Gattuso grabbed it!
Wei'er, who is already 32 years old, finally showed the fans the style of winning the World Footballer. After receiving the ball, the Liberian striker faced Robert Carlos' defense, and then pushed the ball to the right and then suddenly accelerated - he planned to use this simplest and rough way to break through the left defense line guarded by Carlos!
Carlos naturally couldn't make Wei'er get what he wanted, so he quickly threw away his legs and chased after him.
However, due to the different starting time of the two, Via, who took the lead, had already shook Carlos's distance. Using this slightly narrow space, the Liberian star swung his right foot and shot hard at the ball!
Wei'er's shot was very erratic, in the area between the Fiorentine's penalty area and the sideline, but the shooting accuracy was very high, and the speed and strength were not lacking - he caught Tordo off guard. He didn't expect Wei'er to shoot directly in such a erratic position!
Because of his position too high, Toldo had no time to make any effective save, so he could only watch the ball flying towards the goal he was responsible for guarding!
However, this time, the goddess of luck favored Fiorentina. Although Via's shot left Tordo helpless, it just hit the crossbar of the goal. After a slam, it bounced back into the penalty area of Fiorentina!
Seeing the ball bounced back, Matrazi made a quick decision and immediately stepped aside, blocking Bierkhof, who was eyeing the ball behind him. Stam on the other side cleared the ball out of the penalty area, temporarily clearing this huge hidden danger in front of the goal!
