Although Zhuang Ge and others didn’t say anything about it, Heinz felt a lot of pressure. After all, he couldn’t get away from bringing the team to this point. Therefore, after the draw with Inter Milan, Heinz worked hard to prepare for a big victory in the final game, and the team’s journey in the league came to an end!
However, before welcoming the end of the league with Bari in a week, Florence needs to solve another opponent first, that is, Real Madrid, which is competing with them for a ticket for the Champions League final!
Chapter 96 Fight Real Madrid again (1)
At 7 o’clock on the evening of May 9th, there was a huge crowd at Frankie Stadium. The fans in Florence packed all the stands, waiting for the official moment of the game!
Real Madrid faced the unfavorable situation of losing 13 in the first leg. Don’t choose Bosco. In this game, he sent a set of attacking starting goalkeepers casillas. Three central defenders, helguera, karanka and Campoyero, continued to be absent due to injury. Ziggy and salgado were responsible for the team’s flank attack and defense. Cameroonian midfielder Geremi (who later played for Chelsea) played a single midfielder. Seedorf and Golden Wolf Guti formed a midfield duo, Raul and Morientes, the starting partner of the golden combination.
Obviously, in the first round, I witnessed that it was difficult to tear Florence’s defense by relying solely on the twowing Qi Fei. After that, Bosco changed his strategy and prepared to take the tactics of combining sides with sides to deal with Florence to see if he could get better results.
Although without the help of wingers like Savio and mcmanaman, Ziggy and salgado can attack and defend. The imaginative direct plug of Guti and Seedorf can give astute Raul and Morientes more chances to shoot, and this formation can be freely switched between the threefivetwo and fivethreetwo formations, which can not only suppress the opponent’s struggle for midfield control, but also avoid the dilemma of losing power in a game, thus ensuring the offensive quality. You can also shrink your defense and put up five defenders to stop Florence’s offensive. It can be said that you can enter, attack and retreat.
Wow, that’s interesting. Are you going to compete with us for midfield control by increasing the number of midfielders? Although Florence’s situation in the league is not very good, Hynkes is still confident to handle this Bosco coaching Real Madrid in the Champions League. I didn’t expect Vincent (Bosco’s name) to be very thoughtful. Why didn’t I see it when I was coaching Real Madrid?
In Heynckes’ impression, the coach of Real Madrid B team who once had a short working experience with him is not very original in tactical thinking. It can be said that he is very solid in theory and knows the real Madrid system like the back of his hand. From the tactical level alone, Bosco is also an ordinary level coach. Although it is a bit disappointing to let him be the coach of Real Madrid B team, he can coach a middleclass team at most.
However, Heynckes also knows that Bosco has not only this thing, but also his strengths, that is, his super affinity for players and the means to stabilize the dressing room. Have you noticed that in toshack, when coach Arka arrived in Bosco, although he still failed to regain the state he played in Arsenal last season, the number of troubles outside the stadium has been greatly reduced? Moreover, after Bosco, Alca gradually integrated into the team circle, and now the French have been accepted by Raul and Yero.
For a giant club, Bosco’s affinity and management of dressing room are the most essential, but the tactical level of the head coach will rank second. Because there are more bigname stars in the giant team, it is also complicated. There are two ways for a head coach to gain a foothold in the giant club. One is to learn from Sacchi and Capello’s iron fist to deter the team and let the players arrange from them. The other coach is like Bosco, who has excellent communication skills and plays well with these stars in the team, and formulates team tactics according to their characteristics, so that the players are willing to listen to their own commands.
Heinks, who thinks he knows Bosco better, will feel a little surprised after seeing Real Madrid’s starting lineup, because in his cognition, Bosco’s overly stable personality and careless habit make it difficult to adopt the threecenter defense strategy with fatal defects in this key situation.
Having finished the starting list of Real Madrid, let’s take a look at the home team Florence.
Because he made a lot of mistakes in the game against Inter Milan, toldo was put on the bench by Heinks in this game and chose the younger De Sang Ke Tis to startobviously, the German coach intends to beat toldo in this way so that he can focus on the game again instead of thinking about whether it is in front of the goal.
Georgian international Kaladze and Zambrotta are left and right defenders, while Starr and Hyypia will start togetheralthough it is planned to take turns in this game to ensure that the team has enough fighting capacity to deal with Barry in the league at the weekend, I dare not really send a pure backup defense line to test the offensive strength of Real Madrid, a strong enemy.
You know, Morientes’ impact is quite strong, and Raul’s chicken thief in the restricted area is not much worse than Inzaghi’s. If Lala and Hyypia are really paired as central defenders, the Florence gate will be blown up by this pair.
In the midfield, it has become more and more fierce on the defensive end. In the past, Davies’ demeanor Zati and Lei Dongduo partnered in the back of the waist. Although the former is not as famous as Makelele and Gattuso, it is a solid player, plus an outstanding Lei Dongduo and a young mature Deco Florence in the back of the waist. It can be said that it is both offensive and defensive; And before the organization’s core selection, he started to play in effenberg in a row, and Pirlo sat on the bench to watch the younger generation perform.
The striker played for more than ten minutes against Inter Milan at the weekend. Shevchenko got the starting opportunity tonight. The single arrow was at the front. The Ukrainian was Florence. At his side, the core of the attack was Ljungberg. However, the Swede who was pushed forward was just a nominal striker. His range of activities was actually on the right side.
When the starting lineup of Florence was announced, the fans watching the game and the experts sitting in the live broadcast were all shocked by Heinx’s move. They didn’t expect that the German coach would unexpectedly play a rotation on this key occasion!
Chapter 97 Fight Real Madrid again (2)
This is the semifinal of the Champions League! Is it really okay on such an occasion? This is the first time that the vast majority of spectators and experts came up with the idea after the starting list of Florence was announced, and these people naturally have different opinions about Heinx’s move
Too arrogant! Heynckes and Florence are so arrogant! Although Florence has reached the semifinals of the Champions League in the past four seasons and finally won three championships, the Champions League is still, said Butragueno, a famous real Madrid player, with strong indignation. It is doubtful that Florence did not send their strongest team to play in such a sacred and important competition, which is a contempt and a great insult to the other side! I hope the Real Madrid boys can use this motivation to give the arrogant Florentine a headon blow tonight! Let them taste our Real Madrid!
Butragueno, a representative figure of Real Madrid’s era, has naturally been recognized by most Real Madrid fans. They also think that Heynckes is really too big in this gameit’s too naive to really beat us 31 in the first leg.
However, it is not that the supporters of Heinx have not been invited by Sky TV to appear on the live broadcast. Robert Baggio is one of them. Don’t ask what happened before the end of the season. Baggio will explain that the guests will appear on the live broadcast because the current coach of Inter Milan, Mr. Lippi, has made a statement early, saying that the melancholy king will not appear in the list of ten people in the final game of the Nerazzurri season!
Under such circumstances, it is naturally unnecessary for Baggio to stay in this team that makes him feel more depressed than to stick his hot face to Lippi’s cold ass. So after taking a short vacation from the club, Baggio went directly to Florence to be a commentator for his old club. After all, he played for Viola twice and even became a symbol of Florence. In terms of experience, he is indeed qualified for the representative of Florence to participate in the live broadcast of the game
Coach Heinks will make a rotation in this game. It is understandable to know that Florence’s performance in the league battlefield since March is very different from that before. Baggio, a player who plays in Italy, is obviously more aware of Florence’s difficulties in Serie A at this time. Heinks has enough advantages to take advantage of these advantages in winning the first leg of the semifinal and holding three away goals. Taking rotation tactics in this game to finish the league at the weekend will increase their chances of winning the Serie A championship.
Of course, Roberto Baggio, a supporter of Florence, did not share some worries in his heart, that is, although Heinx’s move is in line with the current situation facing Florence, his move will also make Real Madrid feel an opportunity, because after the rotation, Florence’s combat effectiveness is somewhat different from that of the main lineup.
Even if the gap is not big, it will give Real Madrid players a shot in the arm, so that they will be severely repaired by Florence in the first round and they will rekindle their hopes of turning over!
However, to be able to take turns in this game that can determine the fate of the team is enough to say that Heinks is still very courageous. Despite some worries in his heart, Baggio did not express these anxieties, but went on to say, If it were Carlo Ancelotti or these coaches, it would be guaranteed that other players would not get enough appearances unless the main players were absent for some reason!
Just as commentator and guests from various TV station commented on Hynkes’ rotation, referee graham poll (who showed Simunic three yellow cards before the other side punished the referee) blew the whistle!
Hearing a whistle, Shevchenko and Ljungberg quickly got out of the ball in the middle circle and headed for Pirlo behind them, then they quickly ran to Real Madrid halfcourt!
After receiving the ball from Shevchenko, Pirlo didn’t rush to attack, but turned around and knocked the ball behind him after the ball attracted Raul and Morientes, and Lei Dongduo attracted Real Madrid players to continue to press the attack.
Obviously, the Fiorentina players are not confused by Real Madrid’s sudden change of formation. Their intention in the game is very obvious, that is, forcing Real Madrid to put more troops into the attack by kicking their feet in the middle and back court, so as to win more counterattacks!
At this time, Serie A has the best tactical masters in the world, so Florence players are no strangers to the formation of 352, and they are naturally well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of this tactic. Therefore, they clearly know that Ziggy and salgado, the two fullbacks guarding the two flanks, are the key points where Bosco can let Real Madrid players implement this tactic, and they are also the two places where they are most likely to form a breakthrough!
That is to say, if you want to suppress Real Madrid, what Florence must do is to suppress the flying wings of Ziggy and salgado at both ends of attack and defense, so as to create a breakthrough in the natural loophole of the threecentreback formationthe rib area of the restricted area to win the game!
After all, the advantage of the 352 formation (which can also be said as 532) is that the team can invest more troops on the offensive end, and the 3center defender can effectively restrain the double striker configuration. At the same time, the advantage of the number of people in the center and frontcourt can also give sufficient protection to the defense line, but its disadvantage is also very obvious. That is, this formation requires two wingers to sprint back and forth on the side for a long time, which often makes them take care of the rib area of the restricted area when defending, thus exposing this area directly to the opponent’s attack!
In other words, if Ziggy and salgado can’t defend in time, then behind them is Florence’s best breakthrough in the counterattack!
You know, the most powerful thing about Florence is that it is super efficient in offensive and defensive conversion!
Chapter 9 Fight Real Madrid again (3)
However, although aware of the weakness of Real Madrid’s formation, Pirlo and Lei Dongduo didn’t rush to distribute the ball to the flank, but they played Seedorf and Guti around with the ball and secretly observed which side of their own was more dominant to determine the main point of the team’s counterattack in this game!
Finally, after careful observation, Pirlo and Lei Dongduo decided to attack from the right, that is, from Ljungberg and Zambrotta, instead of Kaladze taking charge of the left.
Pirlo, the reason why they made this choice is obvious. Although Kaladze performed quite well in the leftback position, he was not a soft potato against salgado, and his ability was worse than Carlos’. Georgians were far less good at the Spanish international than when Brazilians were present, so they could suppress it in the defensive position most of the time. Moreover, Kaladze and salgado both belong to the kind of fullbacks who pay more attention to attack and assist. On the defensive end, they rely more on brave wind and physical quality to defend, and they are easily deceived by their opponents, giving people a very shorttempered feeling.
If Pirlo and others choose to focus on Kaladze, it is very likely that there will be a situation in which two people will explode on the offensive end and neither can prevent the other, but Florence does not want to see the result.
Ljungberg and Zambrotta are in charge of the right, but it is different. Because Real Madrid has Ziggy on the left, Florence has a numerical advantage on this side, and the latter’s excellent defensive skills and rich experience are enough to resist Ziggy’s attack. Therefore, Florence’s victory in attacking the right is still very high.
In this way, after determining the main attack direction, Pirlo and Lei Dongduo consciously organized their teammates to continue to recover from the square half to induce Real Madrid players who were eager to get back the ball and score to further press the attack, thus creating more counterattacks for their teammates in front!
At this time, it is the Real Madrid players who feel most puzzled. Of course, they know what Florence is up to, but they are unwilling to take the initiative in the face of the bait thrown by Viola. Who let them lose 13 in the first round? If they had won a victory or a draw, they wouldn’t be so passive and led by the Florence.
It is precisely because of this awareness that all Real Madrid players, although somewhat depressed and worried, rushed to press their own defense line to withstand Florence’s counterattack, but in order to regain their disadvantage as soon as possible, they still had to hold their noses and try to compete with the players who held the initiative in Florence for the ball.
Seeing that Real Madrid players are reluctant to rush towards themselves, Pirlo’s heart can’t help but exult and say that it is just what I want. I am not afraid that if you don’t come, we will have 10,000 ways to kill you if you dare to press out and attack!
However, one thing that Pirlo didn’t expect soon happened. Real Madrid players were forced to attack. In the process of fighting for the ball, they actually cared about finding out the trick of frontcourt oppression! And when they saw that the frontcourt snatch had achieved good results, their minds were flexible and their reactions were very quick. Real Madrid players immediately increased the frontcourt snatch!
As a result, the position of Fiorentina players is somewhat embarrassing. After all, in this situation, the risk of falling in the backcourt is not small. If the opponent accidentally steals it, it will be a direct opportunity to kick the door! Not to mention the shooting position is good, but the number of threats from Real Madrid players to their own door is indeed much higher than one.
The most direct evidence is that Seedorf and Guti broke Zati’s and Deco’s balls at the seventh and eleventh minutes of the game, and then gave them to Raul and Morientes respectively. After they got the ball, the horse shot with one foot. Although it failed to break the fingers of de Sang Ke, it also sounded the alarm for Florence. If we go on like this, we may fall before the counterattack hits our own door.
Realizing that the situation was not good, Heynckes quickly made countermeasures. The Germans waved their hands on the sidelines to signal the players to give the ball to Real Madrid. Don’t you like to grab the ball? Then we will give you the ball! Look who you’re going to rob this time!
At the same time, after tasting the sweetness, more and more Real Madrid players rushed into Florence to participate in the attack, intending to take advantage of this momentum to regain a city!
However, the reality gave Real Madrid players a blow. They had already won the ball from Florence when they pushed the defense line to the middle circle of the stadium. Seedorf was surprised to find that the defense line in front of him became slack in an instant after the opponent voluntarily handed over the ball!
It’s not surprising that there will be such a situation. It’s true that Fiorentina players devote themselves to defending without worrying about being robbed. Otherwise, the coaches such as Ranieri and Capello have worked in Florence for so many years.
