Chapter 588

Chen Yu and Fiorentina's finals are the premise. Before the Champions League final, no matter whether the negotiation results are good or bad, they cannot be disclosed to anyone.

The negotiations were carried out in secret, but the preparations for Florence and Barcelona were made public.

Fiorentina and Barcelona cannot be considered as aware that the negotiations between the club's senior management were held secretly, because both sides understand how much the impact this negotiation has on the team. Everything is based on the Champions League, but it is not an encounter. Both sides have had two matches in the Champions League group stage. Florence tied Barcelona away, but lost 4 when they returned to home. Judging from these two games, Fiorentina's strength is much worse than Barcelona, ​​but if Fiorentina is not stupid and plays against Barcelona, ​​it is hard to defend. It is not easy for Barcelona to break the goal of Fiorentina.

In the outside world, the final between Fiorentina and Barcelona is regarded as a match of spear and shield, because no one thinks that Fiorentina has the capital and courage to play against Barcelona, ​​and the most powerful Italian team is their reinforced concrete defense. In such a most important club event, Fiorentina cannot give up its advantages without using it, but fight against Barcelona with its own weaknesses.

In fact, when Fiorentina is training, it also focuses on various defensive routines, such as man-to-man defense, chain defense, regional defense, man-to-man defense and regional defense. In short, after winning the championship, all the training time in Fiorentina was spent on defense, at least on the surface.

Fiorentina head coach Plandeli also publicly admitted that the result of the game against Barcelona is mainly based on defense. "Barcelona is the best offensive team in the world. So far, no team has surpassed them in attack power. Ronaldinho, Etoo, Gulli, Xavi, Iniesta, and Deco. These are the most talented attacking players in the world football world. They have the ability to penetrate any defense line. When they play against them, it is difficult for us to have many opportunities to control the ball and shoot. For us, defense is the first priority, and improving offensive efficiency is crucial. Only by doing these two points to the extreme can we defeat this talented team."

Even Florence is the most talented Chinese striker Chen, who is considered to be able to compete with Ronaldinho for the title of World Footballer, and he admires Barcelona's attack power, which is rare in football history. "Maybe they are not the most balanced team in football history, but they are definitely the most powerful team in football history. Therefore, we cannot play against them. We scored a lot of goals, but offense is not our biggest advantage. In the group stage, we once attacked Barcelona once, but we lost miserably. The facts tell us that defensive counterattack is still a good choice."

Both Plandelli and Chen Yu emphasized that Fiorentina played the defensive card in the Champions League final, but it was not that Fiorentina's purpose was to delay the penalty shootout. Although Plandelli is an Italian coach, he pays great attention to offense. Among the four new generation of Italian coaches, Plandelli is the one who likes to attack the most. Now, due to the strong strength of the opponent and the important game, he has to lower his posture, but he still can't let him keep his guard blindly.

People all say that Italy's reinforced concrete defense line is actually the essence of Italian football. While emphasizing defense, Plandley did not reduce its counterattack position. In Plandley's view, the powerful Barcelona still has his Achilles heel. This "heel" is Barcelona's defense, or to be more precise, their right-back Oleg.

If Oleg is in a second-rate club, he is actually a good defender, but in a team like Barcelona, ​​where the ball controls more than 70% of the game, and the offense and defense are almost always played in the opponent's half. Oleg's shortcomings of slow speed and slow turn are undoubtedly magnified to the extreme and become the opponent's favorite attack point.

The key to Fiorentina's victory in Plandelli's view is whether she can break through Oleg. As long as she can break through Oleg, even if her defense cannot defend against Barcelona's attack, she still has hope of breaking out with Barcelona. If she can defend against Barcelona's attack, Florence may defeat the powerful Barcelona and win the first Champions League championship in history.

Oleg is Barcelona's biggest shortcoming. If you break through Oleg, you can defeat Barcelona. This is something almost all coaches can think of, but there are not many things that really do. Otherwise, Barcelona would not be able to win the La Liga championship and even reach the Champions League final.

This is because Barcelona itself is very clear about its shortcomings. Although they cannot buy a better and more suitable right-back than Oleg, they still use other methods to consolidate their right-hand defense, such as the backup defense of the midfielder Marcos and central defender Pujol, and the return defense of the forward-hand Jiuli. In addition, Barcelona has also strengthened ball control more abnormally, controlled the ball as much as possible under their feet, and reduced the opponent's chances of attack.

Since Barcelona has a group of world-class players in the midfield and frontcourt, it makes it difficult for their opponents to grab the ball when they get the ball. Their unique high-pressure tactics can often cut off the opponent's goals. In this way, Barcelona's opponents can get ten minutes of ball control in a game. It is not so easy to break through Oleg who is helping him in such a short time, so now Barcelona is almost invincible when their shortcomings are obvious.

What Plandelli wants to do the most and the least easy thing now is to defend Barcelona's attack and break through Oleg.

Fiorentina's strongest attack point is Chen Yu, followed by Tony, but Tony cannot play on the wing. This task seems to be able to be completed by Chen Yu, but the current problem is also here. Barcelona knows that Fiorentina's strongest attack point is Chen Yu. If Chen Yu attacks Oleg, Barcelona will definitely send heavy troops to defend. In this way, the right side with the weakest defense may even become the best defense. Fiorentina loses the opportunity to explode Oleg, but neither Chen Yu nor Tony can play on the right side. So who can be responsible for destroying Oleg?

Dinatale is the most suitable player, but although he is very good in all aspects, he is not as good as Chen Yu and has not surpassed the specialties of ordinary players. Compared with Oleg, Dinatale can gain the upper hand, and it is really not easy to break through.

Rookie Pacini is skilled and motivated, but he is too young and has too many variables. If he performs well, he may break through Oleg, but if he does not perform well, he may become the team's shortcomings.

The forward was not sure of breaking through Barcelona's right, and Plandelli secretly debugged the combination of avant-garde and full-back. However, if you want to attack through avant-garde and a full-back, facing a team like Barcelona is obviously a very risky tactic. It is impossible to use it unless it is absolutely necessary. After repeated experiments, Plandelli finally decided to use Dinatale. As the third striker of Fiorentina, Dinatale's ability and experience are the most trustworthy of Plandelli, while Pacini exists as a surprise. If Dinatale still cannot open the situation in the end, then Pacini has the opportunity to play to attack Barcelona's defense.

Although Plandelli determined to use Dinatale on the wing to deal with Oleg, how to use Chen Yu became another headache for Plandelli.

If Chen Yu plays as a forward, then Fiorentina will have three players on the front line. For Fiorentina, which puts defense first, the number of defenders is a bit smaller. If Chen Yu plays as a midfielder, not only will Feore sit on the bench, but the position between the two forwards will also become a problem. How to solve this problem, repeated experiments and discussions by Plandelli and his coaching staff have not found a good solution.

While Fiorentina's coaches were racking their brains for the Champions League final, Fiorentina's opponent Barcelona was not easy, and he was also sleeping at night to defeat Fiorentina.

Barcelona is not in a hurry in the offense. They have already formed their own offensive routines. Short passes and penetration like mercury is their mark. Even if the opponent ships out the iron barrel array, they can create a small space and enter the opponent's penalty area. It is really impossible to solve it. They have talented players to solve the problem through flashing inspiration.

Of course, the genius’ inspiration flashed is not very reliable, but if there is a group of geniuses, it is much more reliable, and Barcelona is a luxurious club with many talented stars.

Needless to say, Ronaldinho is the most creative and imaginative star in the world.

Xavi is one of the best passers in the world. As long as you have time, he will basically not let it go. Whether he can score a goal depends on the forward's ability.

Deco, a Portuguese midfielder born in Brazil, is a farmer with both offense and defense. Although his style of play is simple, he always has amazing performances. If you dare to ignore him, he will dare to teach you the most painful lessons丨

Iniesta is not yet famous, but his breakthrough and pass are comparable to Ronaldinho. As long as he plays, Fiorentina's defense will probably suffer. The only thing that makes the Fiorentines calm is that Iniesta will not shoot. Even if he breaks through to the penalty area, his first choice is to pass the ball.

Etoo has long been famous all over the world. The African Cheetah is the killer of all teams. His starting speed is a nightmare for defenders. Although his ability to seize opportunities is poor, there are passers like Xavi, Deco, and Iniesta behind him. Etooo won the best La Liga scorer even if he was a waste king.

In addition, Barcelona has another star that is most easily overlooked, that is the Argentine Messi. This small player has only appeared on the adult stage this season, but in a limited time, even Barcelona, ​​with geniuses, cannot hide his light. Although Messi was injured in the quarter-finals, Messi has a chance to come back in the finals.

With six such geniuses and a useful winger like Jiuli, it is normal for Rijcard to not care much about Fiorentina's defense, but even though his strength is much stronger than his opponent, Rijcard is still worried about Fiorentina's offense because he doesn't know how to defend Chen Yu and Tony.

If only Chen Yu in Fiorentina is only Chen Yu, Rijcard would not be too worried. Just defend Chen Yu with all his strength. But now Tony is still scoring a goal. If he is trying his best to defend Chen Yu, then Tony may show his power. If he does not try to defend Chen Yu, then the person who performs will become Chen Yu. Moreover, Fiorentina has two full-backs with sharp attacks. Thinking of the full-back, Rijcard is even more depressed. He wants to have a reliable right-back, even if it is similar to Van Bronthorst, but this has become a luxury. Now Rijcard only has Oleg and Edel Milson, who originally played in the midfield. With such a big colander, Rijcard is not able to worry about whether he is worried.

In order to defend Fiorentina's counterattack, Rijcard also experimented with many lineups, but none of them were suitable. Fortunately, Barcelona had already won the championship ahead of schedule, and they devoted themselves to the tactical exercise without any scruples. Rijcard believed that when they went to Paris, they would come up with a solution.
