Chapter 317 Derby's Dream Start

Livorno is the team with the least investment in transfers in the summer. Although coach Donadoni remains in office and chairman Spiegoli is smart, in the era of Golden Dollar football, most people still think that they will fight for relegation. The elimination of Ctttan Ia in the Italian Cup game also made more people think that Livorno's future is unpredictable, but no one expected that after five rounds of the league, Livorno actually beat the Milanese two heroes and Roma two heroes in the third place.

Last season, Lucarelli scored the goal, ranking second in the scorer list, second only to Chen Yu, who was 38 goals. In the new season, Lucarelli rejected the high-priced temptation from Russia and continued to fight with Livorno. As it turned out, this was the most correct choice Livorno made this season. So far, Lucarelli scored three goals, and in three games with Lucarelli's goal, Livorno won. In two games, Lucarelli failed to score, and Livorno also drew with his opponent in two games.

Last season, Livorno and Fiorentina were the battle between Chen Yu and Lucarelli, but this season was slightly different. Last season, Dinatale around Chen Yu had not adapted to Fiorentina's few goals, and Micoli could only add to the cake, but this season was different. Dinatale was getting used to the team more and more, and now he has scored 3 goals, and new player Tony scored 4 goals, becoming Chen Yu's right-hand man. It can be said that Lucarelli has to face the forward trio led by Chen Yu, which is also the sharpest trio in Europe. They have now scored 28 goals in various competitions, while Lucarelli and Paladino have only scored 5 goals.

Obviously, Fiorentina's attack power is far stronger than Livorno, but football is a game of offense and defense. On the defensive level, Livorno is much better than Fiorentina. After five rounds, Livorno only conceded one penalty, while Fiorentina only had no goals conceded. Although only Roma is stronger among Livorno's opponents, and Fiorentina has three strong teams, there is undoubtedly a gap in the defense between the two sides.

Although Livorno has strong defensive ability, the outside world was optimistic that Fiorentina would win this Tuscan derby.

Judging from the odds of European bookmakers, Fiorentina has given the half-ball at home.

Both "Sports in Milan" and "Sports in Rome" believe that Livorno's defense is not enough to block Fiorentina's attack, and Livorno's undefeated golden body is very likely to be broken by Frankie.

The Republic emphasized the importance of the Tuscany region derby: the Tuscany region in central Italy has unprecedentedly owned four A-level teams, Florence, Livorno, Siena and Empoli. They have to have a total of regional derby, which is the "first derby" of Serie A this season. Although the Tuscany region derby is not as good as the Milan derby, Roma derby and Turin derby, in the Tuscany region, such a derby will attract the attention of the entire region, which is related to the team's status and reputation in this region. As the boss of Tuscany, Fiorentina will never let Livorno, who is unbeaten in five games, escape from Florence.

"Full Sports" believes that the key to this game is the performance of the forwards of both sides. Who is in better shape, Chen Yu, Tony, Dinatale trio, Lucarelli and Paladino golden partner? In addition, according to the weather forecast, there will be heavy rain on the day of the game, and the weather may also become an important variable in the game.

The media far away in China are also hyping up this game, not because this game is so important to the fans, but because Livorno is a "red" city, and RU's residents believe in communism, and last season's Serie A top scorer Lucarelli was the flagship figure here.

Although Chen Yu did not reveal what his belief was, Western and Chinese media acknowledged that he believed in communism because he was Chinese.

So such an ordinary Tuscan region derby turned into a Chinese derby, a red derby in China.

Even Dr. Areida, the daughter of the great revolutionary Che Guevara, who will visit Italy in a week, expressed interest in the game and clearly expressed support for Livorno, and even specifically requested a day in Livorno and Fiorentina to meet with Chen Yu and Lucarelli, two players of the same faith.

Whether it is the red derby or the Tuscan derby, these are not important to Florence. After defeating Sampdoria, Udinese, Inter Milan, and tied Barcelona, ​​Florence is full of confidence. The Tuscan region can no longer accommodate their ambitions. Now their eyes are on the entire Italy and Europe. For them, Livorno is just a small stone that needs to be crushed, even if Livorno is already ranked third.

Not only did Florence players and coaches have this attitude, but even Florence fans reacted indifferently to Livorno's arrival, and no one even went to the station to provoke Livorno's players.

However, this does not mean that Fiorentina fans will not go to support their teams on the spot. After the "Pisanu Act", the attendance rate of Serie A games has decreased day by day. Juventus often has a lower attendance rate than half. However, Fiorentina's attendance rate has always been among the top, and the stadium that can accommodate 47P often exceeds 35,000. Even if it rains before the game, the number of fans in this game has exceeded 40,000.

: With the whistle of referee Eroldi, the first derby in the Tuscany region kicked off in the light rain.

In this game, Plandelli continued to use the combination of Chen Yu-Tony-Dinatale, while his teammate Donadoni in Atlanta continued to try out the combination of Lucarelli-Paladino, which performed well this season. This is no different from people's predictions before the game.

Florence, who played at home, seemed to have gained inspiration from the game against Barcelona. After the game began, they put strong pressure on Livorno, who held the ball, forcing the opponent to hand over the ball.

This fast-paced hunting tactic is more powerful in the slippery field, because the opponent's passing accuracy decreases and the mistakes increase. The ball was intercepted by Florence after a few passes.

Fiorentina is well prepared for the rain battle, and the players are wearing spiked sneakers, and their tactical styles tend to be simple, reducing passes, using medium and long distance passes to directly transfer the ball to the front line, allowing Tony, Chen Yu and Dinatale to attack directly into the penalty area.

Fiorentina has the home advantage. This advantage is not just that there are enough fans applauding and cheering. The players are also extremely familiar with their own venue. It can be said that they can even ride the ball with their eyes closed, and they can also know where they are and where the goal is through the surrounding scenery.

These advantages were also magnified in the rain. In the third minute of the game, the left-back Pasquiel, who started in this game, assisted forward, Feore passed the ball to Pasquiel, and Pasquiel passed it to Chen Yu. Chen Yu made a wall-to-wave cooperation for him. Pasquiel exceeded Garrant's defense at high speed and passed the ball to the penalty area at the bottom line.

Tony knocked down Vargas and jumped high at the penalty point, and a powerful header shot into the goal guarded by Amelia.

However, just as Tony was celebrating with the fans, the linebacker's flag was raised and signaled to Tony to push people first. The referee and the linebacker discussed it and determined that the goal was invalid.

Tony was a little excited and ran over angrily to argue with the referee, but Chen Yu grabbed him, "Tony, calm down, this is just the beginning."

"I'm a reasonable collision," Tony said angrily.

"Whether it is reasonable or not depends on the referee, it is not your final decision."

Chen Yu grabbed Tony's arm and pulled him back to his half.

Livorno took the ball out, and the ball was a bit big. Lucarelli didn't grab it and was pushed out by Fiorentina's central defender Dainelli.

The ball hit Feore's feet, and Feore made a long pass to Tony without waiting for the ball to land.

Tony headed the ball towards Chen Yu's running, and turned around and ran to the penalty area.

Chen Yu directly shot while running, and the ball roared toward the goal from 30 meters.

Livorno goalkeeper Amelia was caught off guard by this cold shot. He flew to save in a hurry, avoiding the middle, but threw the ball towards Dinatale on the side. Dinatale headed the ball a little and scored the ball into the empty goal from goalkeeper Amelia's body.

In the first four minutes, Dinatale scored a follow-up shot and broke Livorno's goal. Florence led 1:0.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier at this moment, but the fans in the stands were excited to throw away the umbrella and desperately applauded and cheered for Fiorentina's goal.

The live commentator also repeatedly said: "...Dinatale's fourth goal fully demonstrates Dinatale's flexibility and speed. Although Livorno ranked third in ranking, he is still incomparable with the two Milan players in terms of strength. Judging from the opening few minutes, they are almost not on the same level as Fiorentina.

Livorno's head coach Donadoni was beaten a little dazed. He prepared for this game as well, but his opponent's tactics changed too much, and the rainy day made the game full of variables, so that their impregnable defense line in the first five games was actually broken in the fourth minute.

The goal was like a scoop on Livorno's head. When the game started again, before Livorno's players could react, Florence launched a fatal fast break again.

In the sixth minute of the game, Donadale made a long pass from the backcourt, Dinatale stopped the ball in her chest near the corner of the penalty area and returned to Tony. Tony volleyed his feet and volleyed, and the ball flew into the net from goalkeeper Amelia's ribs.

:0

Tony scored his fifth goal of the season.

After scoring the goal, Tony ran to the stand excitedly, approaching the sidelines, waving his fists hard, venting and demonstrating to the linebacker.

He scored two goals in the first six minutes and almost secured the victory. The defense line that Livorno was proud of was vulnerable, which surprised and delighted the Fiorentine fans at the scene.

Delavalais sitting in the box in the stands with a smile on his face and was very satisfied with the game. Tony was the biggest signing of the season. Now it seems that the deal is very successful. Dinatale was almost picked up last season, but this season he finally shines and heats up. In Delavalais's view, these, including Chen Yu's discoveries, are all his own victory results.

Spiezer Lizard, who was sitting next to Dela Valle, looked disappointed and surprised. He did not expect his team to be so vulnerable, nor did he expect his opponent's attack power to be so strong. Livorno only lost one penalty in the first five games, and two were lost in six minutes of this game.

However, Spirelli still had a glimmer of hope, that is Lucarelli's performance. He did not believe that Lucarelli would not score in this game, because the Italian national team announced the roster before the game, and there was no Lucarelli in it, which made Lucarelli very angry. Spirelli believed that Lucarelli would definitely use his performance to prove that Lippi was wrong.

Two goals in U minutes, such a fantastic start, even the Fiorentine players did not expect that at this time, the Fiorentine players thought the overall situation had been decided, and the arrogance of underestimating the opponent also rose. Some players were even affected by Barcelona's style of play in the last game and wanted to control the ball in the backcourt and play Livorno's counterattack.

Of course, Livorno is not a weak team. The two goals lost in a row at the beginning were more because of the changes in the opponent's playing style and luck, and it was not vulnerable. Donadoni and his team also showed superb tactical qualities at this time. The unbeaten in the previous five rounds of the league was not accidental. After losing two goals in a row, the red team calmed down. They found that the rain was too heavy and it was no longer suitable for short passes, so they gave up short passes and directly passed the long passes and attacked quickly, fully exerting Lucarelli's aggressiveness and Paladino's explosive power.

In the 10th minute, Livorno made a cross from the left, Lucarelli gave up the ball and gave it to Paladino. At this time, everyone thought that the l-year-old young player Paladino would shoot, but Paladino hit the ball in the penalty area, drifted past Uyfalusi before hitting the goal with his left foot.

The shot was very sudden. Although it was not powerful, it was too close to the goal, and it was too late to save the ball. In a hurry, Frey stretched out his foot, which was considered a dead horse. However, he was lucky and blocked the ball.

Three minutes later, Livorno launched another attack, Lucarelli shot out from the goal, and the ball hit the post and bounced out.

These two attacks made Fiorentina sweat in a cold sweat, and at this time they felt that this team was not as weak as they imagined.

Then Fiorentina tried hard to control the rhythm of the game, but Livorno also used the increasing rain and frequently used long passes and long shots to attack Florence's defense.

In the 17th minute, young player Paladino pulled to the left side of the wing to make a cross. Lucarelli threw away Dainelli's defense and prepared to head the ball in the penalty area. This was an excellent opportunity, because goalkeeper Frey had not moved over, and it was impossible for Pasquire to clear the ball at this time. He directly crashed into Lucarelli.

Lucarelli was about to hit the ball, and he was already fantasizing about the situation after the ball flew into the goal net. Suddenly, a black shadow bumped over and knocked Lucarelli to the side.

Without touching the ball, Lucarelli also fell from the air, and then Pasquiel also fell on Lucarelli.

Pasquiel knew it was a foul, so he fell to the ground very smartly and pretended to be a big drop.

The referee did not award a penalty, but waved to get the two of them up.

Lucarelli was furious when he saw a good chance to score a goal, because he was not selected for the national team roster, which made him eager to prove himself. Now his rival Tony scored a goal, Fiorentina led two goals, and his shot was fouled by his opponent. He angrily told the referee that this was a foul and he should be awarded a penalty.

The referee Eroldi waved his hand and signaled that this was not a foul, it was a normal physical confrontation, and then turned around and prepared to leave.

Lucarelli was furious and reached out to grab the referee's arm. Referee Eroldi was shocked, and immediately took out a red card from his pocket and shone it out to Lucarelli.

The conflict occurred in an instant. At the beginning, Livorno's players wanted the captain to put pressure on the referee to avoid unfair treatment in the future, but immediately they found that it was too late to intensify the conflict, and the referee Eroldi had already taken out a red card.

Livorno coach Donadoni has been calm. Even after Fiorentina scored two goals, he did not move much physically. However, when Eroldi showed a red card, Donadoni jumped up and yelled at the stadium to protest the referee's decision.

"Bad bastard is this a red card? This is our penalty kick"

The fourth official was not far away from Donadoni. He heard the scolding. If it were normal, he could bring Donadoni to the stands, but now, he just grabbed Donadoni, "Calm Robert, calm down."

"Can I calm down? Our penalty kick turned into Lucarelli and was sent off" Donadoni continued to scream

The fourth official said unhappily: "Robert, if you do this again, I will have to let you go to the stands."

Donadoni calmed down suddenly and made an apologetic gesture to the fourth official, "I'm sorry, I'm not calm, but please look at the slow motion, we are so wronged."

The fourth official had no choice but to bring out the universal reason, "Robert, misjudgment is part of football, and the referee is also a human being."

Donadoni took a deep breath, turned around and walked to the sidelines, and swallowed the sentence "It may also be a scumbag" into his stomach.

In the 17th minute of the game, Livorno's core Lucarelli was sent off. At this moment, Fiorentina had already led two goals. It seemed that there was no suspense in the game. The remaining time was either garbage time or Fiorentina's unilateral massacre.

However, the Livornos are obviously not ready to admit defeat. This Tuscan der is much more important than Livorno than Fiorentina. Donadoni quickly adjusted the team's style of play. Forward Baccayoco replaced defensive midfielder Pasoni on the court, maintained the situation of two forwards, and continued to attack Fiorentina.
