It was not until a sharp whistle sounded that Moji and Zhuang Mingge, who had been circled around Baggio's transfer issue, realized that the game had begun. Both sides put the topic just now and brought the theme of the conversation to the game.

"Manager Moji, your head coach is so brave that he dares to put Baggio on the bench and let that young man named del Piero replace him. Is he looking down on us in Florence?"

"Haha, of course it's not what Chairman Corleone thought. You must know that when dealing with a powerful opponent like Fiorentina, we can't play all the last trump card as soon as we start, but there is no room for counterattack... At this point, my idea and head coach Lippi are completely consistent... Do you know how much pressure Florence has put on us this season? In order to prepare for one of our most important games this season, I'm exhausted... Huh, after this game, no matter what the result is, I can have a good sleep."

Pretend! Keep pretending! Zhuang Mingge gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was helpless with this old fox.

Moji's "crawl" made Zhuang Mingge more convinced that this guy is really suitable for football. Not to mention anything else, between black and white football, the black ones can be said to be said to be said to be said to be said to be said to be said to be “black and white”. This is a skill that can be taken all by “black and white”!

Zhuang Mingge's "offensive" was easily resolved by Mo Lao Fox again. At this time, the on-site commentator began to introduce the list of players on both sides. Zhuang Mingge heard more of the cheers of fans roaring and thundering - the decisive battle on the court has begun!

"Welcome to Alpes! This is the 12th round of the Serie A season in the 1994-95 season, Juventus will face Fiorentina at home!"

"Now I will introduce the lineups of both sides in this game... Juventus is in good condition. Paul Sousa, the team's previously injured midfielder, returned on the front line in this game. Their head coach Lippi sent a 442 lineup, goalkeeper Peruzzi, and four defenders from right to left are Toricelli, Coral, Euliano and Pesotto; in terms of midfield, the new French national team captain Deschamps and Paul Sousa are in the middle, and the right forward is Antonio Conte, Dilivio serves as the left forward, Viali and young player Piero partner with the forward line... It seems that coach Lippi is still very afraid of the offensive ability shown by Fiorentina this season. He put Baggio, who was in poor form recently, and used the 442 formation to strengthen the team's defense..."

Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in the VIP box, had to admit that this is indeed a lineup that balances offensive and defensive and full of vitality. Needless to say, this is definitely the masterpiece of "Silver Fox" Lippi - a lineup that is very suitable for the overall combat thought.

"Fiorentina still uses the 442 formation they use most. This lineup is not much different from what we expected before the game. The goalkeeper is Toldo, and the four defenders are Bilindelli, Ferrara, Fericano and Lanna from right to left. In the midfield, Dibiagio serves as a single midfielder, Effenberg and Kripa in front of him, Djokaf serves as the front midfielder; the forward partner is Batistuta and young player Philip Inzagi."

When the commentator introduced the situation between the two sides, the players on the court had already started a real battle. Lippi, the "Silver Fox" sitting in the home team's coach's seat, had no expression on his face and held a cigar in his mouth - this was his habit, but now anyone is prohibited from smoking in the game field in the Serie A. Lippi can only hold the cigar in his mouth for some spiritual comfort.

...

The game kicked off in the midfield between the two sides.

Fiorentina's midfield is the strongest link in the entire team. The combination of Effenberg and Djokav is far more effective than one plus one equals two. With a diligent and dedicated defensive midfielder, there is also Dibiagio, who is in the rising stage. It is precisely because of this midfield that Fiorentina has the confidence to challenge other teams.

What about Juventus? Their midfield is also very strong. The defensive ability of Juventus midfield led by Deschamps is enough to suffocate any team. Although Antonio Conte is the right forward, he is more active in the middle of the midfield, using his unstoppable physical fitness and fighting spirit to fight for every goal to increase the thickness of Juventus' midfield defense. Although Dilivio's talent on the left side is average, his round-trip sprint on the wing has indeed added many tactical changes to Juventus. Paul Sousa is another Redonto or Albertini when he is not troubled by injuries. Juventus' midfield combination is not inferior to any continental team's midfield.

What does the fierce midfield fight mean? It often means not excitement, but constant fouls - this game is no exception. In just five minutes, both sides each received two fouls. On the other side, Deschamps just knocked down Djokav, Dibiagio here pushed down Paul Sousa, Juventus' midfielder had the upper hand in running ability, while Fiorentina's midfielder beat his opponent in technology and creativity.

The first shot of the game came late in the seventh minute. Effenberg, who suddenly inserted an assist from the midfield, made a long shot outside the penalty area and was blocked by his former teammate Yuliano.

Juventus' offense is more concentrated on the left side. In addition to Dilivio, young player Piero often pulls to this side to attack. In addition, Pesotto, who often assists, puts great pressure on Bilindley, who guards Fiorentina's right side.

However, he is not as good as Lindley, and he runs very actively. He also has the advantages of a traditional Italian defender - his personal defense skills are good. Whenever he can't resist the opponent's attack, he will decisively use foul tactics. Moreover, he is very smart, and his foul movements are not enough to be a card.

So, in just a few minutes, Bilindelli fouled against Dilivio and Piero one after another. Although he was warned by the referee, he effectively delayed Juventus' offensive momentum.

Juventus did not complete his first shot until the tenth minute. After Piero was knocked down by Bilindeli, Dilivio, who got the ball, directly shot from the outside of the penalty area. The ball was easily swept into his arms by Tordo, who was tall and long.

Soon, Fiorentina completed the attack again. Djokaf broke through Uliano and then distributed the ball to Batistuta. Bati kept shooting hard, and the ball flew out of the baseline through the goal post.

"From the current scene, Fiorentina, who plays away, seems to have an advantage... They are not at all at the home court at Juventus, and Inzaghi's agility makes Juventus' two tall central defenders very troubled."

"It's a pity that Lanna and Bilindelli dare not move lightly, Fiorentina now lacks crosses from the wing, otherwise Bati's ability should have allowed Juventus to swallow the bitter fruit."

"But Juventus' defense is still very good. Although Fiorentina has two shots, it has not forced Peruzz to make a save. If you continue to play like this, it is hard to say who can win this game now."

During the discussions among the commentators, the competition on the field became more and more intense. The ball did not even leave the midfield in the next five minutes, and neither side could pass the ball smoothly to their offensive players.

In this stalemate, set pieces often become an opportunity to break the game deadlock.

When the game reached the 20th minute, Djokaf cut in from the left, and Toricelli was forced to foul him. The Frenchman then took advantage of the opportunity of the free kick to shoot directly.

Juventus goalkeeper Peruchi has excellent goalkeeping skills, but his disadvantages are also obvious. He is 1.81 meters tall and weighs as high as 88 kilograms, which makes him look very bulky when saving. Djokaf's free kick that went straight to the far corner of the goal took advantage of Peruchi's shortcomings to the greatest extent!

Djokaf's free kick flew into Juventus' goal before Peruzzi arrived!

Fiorentina leads the home team one-to-zero at the Alpes!
Chapter completed!
