magic coach

After three days of careful preparation, Inter Milan welcomed Mancini and his Viola Legion at the San Siro.

Fiorentina and Inter Milan have never had any grievances, and there was no saliva before the game. The game started in a harmonious atmosphere.

The players warmed up on the court, and more than 8 Nerazzurri sat in the stands eagerly waiting for the start of the game.

"Fiorentina is one of the most elegant teams in Serie A. Inter Milan has been the most powerful attacking team in Europe in recent months. There is no doubt that the match between them will be very exciting. Now we have got Their starting lineup, now let's take a look at Inter Milan's starting lineup: 1-Frey, 38 Materazzi, 13-Simic, 5-Blanc, 4-Zanetti, 10-Seedorf, 14-Di Biagio, 18-Dalma, 21-Pirlo, 32-Vieri, 54-Suker..."

When the commentator Scarpini introduced each player, there was an interval in the middle. The Inter Milan fans heard the name of each Inter Milan fan tacitly and gave a burst of intense applause and shouts, which made the players full of pride feel.

"The start of Dalma and Hakan Suk is surprising. During this period of time, Inter Milan has been conducting closed training. We don't know what happened to Recoba. According to common sense, he should be partnering with Vieri today. It is not surprising that Simic played at the back line. There is no doubt about who will play, he or Cordoba. Well, God can’t guess Jiang Mu’s mind. Let’s wait and see the game. Let’s take a look now Fiorentina's starting lineup: 1-Toldo, 2-Repka, 23 Pierrini, 4-Adani, 35-Moretti, 19-Rossi, 10-Costa, 24-Amoruso, 7 -Di Livio, 21-Gomez, 20-Chiesa, this is a solid 442 formation, with both offense and defense. Before the game, people predicted that Fiorentina might strengthen their defense in San Siro because of Inter Milan's attack The power is too strong, but now it seems that Mancini still has some ideas..."

At this time, with the whistle of the referee, the game began.

Seeing Inter Milan's starting lineup, many people thought that Inter Milan played 442 in this game, but after the game started, everyone discovered that Zanetti was playing midfielder, and Inter Milan played 352 in this game. formation.

When Mancini saw Inter Milan's starting lineup, he was secretly delighted, because the lineup was similar to what he had guessed. Although the three positions of Hakansuke, Dalma, and Simic were a bit unconventional, these three players They are also commonly used players. Mancini is very familiar with them, and he has also done targeted training before the game. The players will definitely not feel unfamiliar when dealing with them.

But after Inter Milan's formation was actually played, it became 352, which made Mancini a little embarrassed, because he didn't expect Jiang Mu to form such a formation. He lacked preparation, and the players didn't know what to do.

The formation of 352 has 5 players in the midfield, and the midfielders are relatively dominant.Teams using this formation are generally stronger than their opponents and use oppressive play to put pressure on their opponents.

The 3 defenders can use a man marking or zone defense system.The 5 players in the midfield mostly adopt the configuration of double midfielders plus two full-backs and a midfielder.The two forwards protruding forward can form a triangle with the midfielder behind them. If they cooperate tacitly, they can play a smooth cooperation to tear the opponent's dense defense in the middle.Because there are only 3 defenders in this formation, the 3 defenders usually will not assist except for the threatening positioning kicks of their own side in the frontcourt, so as to ensure that 3 defenders stay in their own half at any time, and the double midfielders One of them will not participate in the offense under normal circumstances. First, set up a barrier in the midfield to hinder the speed of the opponent's counterattack, which is conducive to the player's return to defense.When fully retreating, the two full-backs can retreat to the position of the full-backs, forming a defensive system of up to 3 people with 7 central defenders and two midfielders, forming 532.This formation is 352 or even 343 when attacking, and 532 or 541 when defending. It can be attacked when advancing, and can be defended when retreating. It not only achieves a certain offensive and defensive balance, but also the formation is very flexible.The five players in the midfield also have an advantage in numbers.

However, the 352 formation also has its flaws, that is, its wings.Because there is only one player on the side, the ability of the side players is very high. They must not only have comprehensive skills, be able to attack and defend, but also have sufficient physical fitness.And the only 3 defenders can't occupy the entire backcourt, especially when playing in a relatively wide stadium such as the Nou Camp, the space on the side will be larger, and the 3-back system has the ability to assist the defender in the middle The requirements are also very high, so compared with the 442 formation, although the 352 formation has certain advantages, it also has its limitations, so its use is not as common as the 442 formation.

However, Jiang Mu's staffing configuration does not have the above-mentioned shortcomings: two tall defenders plus the experienced Blanco in the backcourt solve the problem of headers.Zanetti on both sides is a world-class winger who can attack and defend well and has plenty of physical strength. Dalma is weak in defense, but full of offensive power and creativity.

The combination of Pirlo and Di Bianho with double midfielders has both defensive and offensive attributes. Di Bianho is a hardworking engineer midfielder. Pirlo can organize and dispatch in the backcourt, and he can Initiate a long pass attack from a distance.

The midfielder Seedorf has been famous for a long time, and has matured after training in Serie A.Vieri on the forward line is in good shape, scoring goals almost every game, his strong body can flatten any defense line like a tank, Hakan Suk's header is se and Vieri forms a twin tower, if the wing can pass In the game, they can completely scare their opponents.

After the start of the game, Inter Milan really took advantage of the number of midfielders, played more and played less, adopted an oppressive style of play, and raised the formation very high. The backcourts were connected in series to form a large encirclement net, encircling Fiorentina and bombarding them indiscriminately.

Although Fiorentina's players were targeting Inter Milan's usual 442 and 4321 styles of play before the game, they did not expect Inter Milan to play 352, which is rarely used, but they are also experienced players. Even without the command and arrangement of the head coach, they also know where the weakness of this style of play is, and they have thoroughly studied every player of Inter Milan. Don't panic and don't know what to do.

Under Rui Costa's scheduling and command, Fiorentina, while stabilizing the backcourt defense, also launched quick counterattacks from time to time, so that the opponents did not dare to press hard.

Although Inter Milan has the advantage in the midfield, Fiorentina's back line is very experienced. Needless to say, the strength of Italian international Pierini, Adani and Repka are also powerful generals. Inter Milan wants to relax. It is not easy to break through their defense.

However, Jiang Mu had already prepared for this. He did not send Recoba and Vieri's striker combination in this game, but sent Vieri and Hakan Suk. First, because Recoba had a cold, The second is to use the bodies of Vieri and Hakan Suk to attack the penalty area.

Because after Jiang Mu arranged a 352 formation, he must press the opponent inside and outside the penalty area, so that the opponent is densely populated in the backcourt, and it is very difficult to use short passes to penetrate their defense. At this time, Robbie Keane cannot be used. daggers, but only mountain axes like Vieri and Hakansuke.

Dalma and Zanetti worked hard on the wing. They understood their responsibility, which was to pass a well-placed cross to find Vieri and Hakan Suk.

In the 4th minute of the game, Zanetti passed the ball directly into the penalty area without going to the bottom. Although such a player is easy to clear the siege and difficult for the forward to deal with, Vieri still won a chance for a hemisphere. The ball hit the head of defender Pierini and flew out of the baseline.

Then Pirlo took a threatening corner on the left, but Hakan Sukur headed the ball into the side netting, much to the delight of the Inter fans.

In the 7th minute of the game, Dalma made a cross pass from the edge of the penalty area. Hakan Suk knocked the ball back under the pressure of the opposing defender. Vieri lowered his right foot 17 meters in front of the goal, and the ball passed under Adani. Although the goalkeeper Toldo's sight was blocked, he reacted quickly, fell to the ground and rushed, holding the ball in his arms.

In the 10th minute of the game, Fiorentina launched a threatening counterattack.

Rui Costa is still the starting point of Fiorentina's attack. Although Rui Costa is not as famous as Zidane, has a huge aura, and does not have Riquelme's delicate dancing skills that can dance on a square meter, but his elegance He is gorgeous but not at all inferior to these two geniuses, because he is also a genius, a passing genius.

The ball stayed at Rui Costa's feet for less than a second, but this second was enough.

Under Inter Milan's quick counterattack, Rui Costa still calmly received the ball, turned around, and passed the ball with his head up. Before Inter Milan's second wave of pressing came, Rui Costa's ball was light Ling flew across the half and found striker Chiesa.

Chiesa was the most comprehensive striker in the world at that time. Penalty kicks, free kicks, grab points, headers, long shots, volleys, barbs, rushing, almost omnipotent. Unfortunately, omnipotence is almost equal to comprehensive mediocrity , because he lived in the same era as Vieri Inzaghi and Piero. These three forwards represent three extremes. With them, Chiesa can only wait on the bench.

Facing the pass from the backcourt, Chiesa ran a few steps quickly, took a step away from Blanco behind him, jumped up, stopped his chest to one side, and directly volleyed with a side hook.

The ball flew straight to the right of the goal.

This shot was very sudden and Blanco was already behind Chiesa. Frey could hardly see Chiesa's shot. When he flew over, the ball had already flown past him.

Frey felt cold and thought it was over, but at this time there was a long and heavy exhalation from the stands and the sigh of regret from the Fiorentina fans. It turned out that the ball brushed the goal post and flew out of the baseline.
