The Era of Emerald

Chapter 109 Fighting the Rossoneri Again

On the third day after the No.16 round of the Serie A match against Parma, Fiorentina, which has recently suffered from the weakness of the front line, finally ushered in a piece of good news: the team's first shot Batistuta ended Fahe The German King's Cup campaign has returned to Florence, preparing for the match against AC Milan that will be held at the weekend.

AC Milan has performed extremely badly in Serie A this season. So far, Capello's team has achieved 16 wins, 5 draws, 7 losses and 4 points in 22 league games, ranking sixth in Serie A. There is a 15-point difference from the top-ranked Juventus, and they can basically announce their withdrawal from the league championship this season.

After welcoming Batistuta, who is in excellent form this season, Fiorentina has a neat lineup and high morale. The fans have full confidence in the team's ability to win the poor AC Milan away.

But as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a broken boat has three catties of nails. No matter how poor AC Milan is this season, they are also the super giants that swept Europe last season. Their head coach is still the resourceful Capet Ro.

Sure enough, as Zhuang Mingge expected, after more than half a year of adjustments by Capello, the spirits of AC Milan players are slowly recovering, and the residual influence of the World Cup in the United States is gradually dissipating. Panucci replaced veteran Tassotti Became the starter, and Boban, who has similar organizational skills but better defensive ability, put his former compatriot Savicevic on the bench.

At the beginning of the game, the Milanese took advantage of the home court to attack Fiorentina from both sides. Whether it was Maldini on the left or Panucci on the right, they were both good at attacking and defending. The tiger general Donadoni is eaten, but judging from the configuration of the wing,

AC Milan obviously has the advantage.

Originally, AC Milan's tactics last season were very dull, otherwise it would not be able to create a record of "Serie A champion with the fewest goals".Although their lightning-fast counterattacks are quite pleasing to the eye, after all, they are only part of the game. Most of the time they recover and shrink the defense in the half court and then seize the opportunity to counterattack.

But from this season, Massaro, who was in excellent form before, suddenly couldn't find a goal target, and Costacurta, as the main central defender, declined sharply, especially the newly introduced striker Di Canio did not perform as expected The strength of the game forced the conservative Capello to change his style and make the team play more aggressively. Milan's player configuration is indeed more suitable for playing positional warfare rather than defensive counterattacks.

Milan's offensive core has changed from Savicevic last season to Boban this season. The 26-year-old Croatian international is at the peak of his career. AC Milan's offense is basically driven by him.

Ranieri obviously did a good job of homework before the game. Whenever Boban got the ball, Kripa would immediately rush over to interfere with him. The head coach of this game has arranged for him a very important task, which is to Prevent Boban as much as possible, and don't let him easily organize an attack.

Ranieri's tactics were quite effective, and Milan got several offensive opportunities, all of which disappeared in such entanglements.

In the 30th minute of the game, Boban received another pass from Albertini.

However, Boban learned smart this time. Seeing Kripa rushing up, he didn't get too entangled with the opponent. He immediately passed the ball to Marco Simeone in front of him.

With Van Basten and Lentini seriously injured one after another, and Massaro and Papin in a sluggish state, Marco Simeone has become the main scoring point of the Rossoneri this season. The assault ability has brought enough vitality to Milan's old frontcourt, and his existence is also one of the reasons why AC Milan can maintain the top six in the league this season.

Seeing Simeone taking the ball, Di Biagio rushed up immediately, but he did not expect that Simeone was much more flexible than himself, although Di Biagio was famous in Italy for his fierce defense and wide range of activities. A little famous in football, but still lost his center of gravity by Simeone's fake action, only saw Simeone take advantage of the trend, and rushed past Di Biagio!

Although Di Biagio was passed by Simeone, but with a good reaction speed, he immediately turned around and kept hitting Simeone from the side and rear-in terms of physical fitness, Di Biagio has an absolute advantage, although At this time, the opponent has been left behind, and can still interfere with the opponent.

Seeing that Fiorentina's defensive line was not in chaos, and the tall midfielder behind him was constantly interfering with him, Simeone did not force the ball-he was not a reckless player, but he just lifted his foot and threw the ball. The ball was passed to Donadoni who came in from the left!

Donadoni immediately competed with Bilindley in terms of speed. Donadoni could beat Bilindley at his peak, but now that he is not young, the decline in physical fitness is inevitable Therefore, even though Donadoni sprinted desperately, Bilindelli still grabbed the ball first, and Milan's another offensive opportunity was easily destroyed by Fiorentina.

"AC Milan is still old after all..." Sitting in the box at the San Siro Stadium, Zhuang Mingge sighed.

"Yeah, who would have imagined that Milan, which was able to make the whole of Europe helpless last season, would decline to this point after only one summer?" Karin also sighed for Milan's decline.

While speaking, the trend of the game on the field was also initiated by AC Milan at the beginning, and Fiorentina was forced to defend and gradually reversed. The Milan players who had exhausted their physical strength at the beginning of the game had to shrink their defense.

Although AC Milan is also constantly using counterattacks to contain Fiorentina's offense, except for Simeone, Milan has no counterattack masters on the field at all, so Fiorentina's offense shows no sign of slowing down at all. In addition to quickly passing back and forth to try to open up space and create opportunities, several Fiorentina players with excellent skills at their feet often make a forced breakthrough whenever they have a chance, intending to use their personal abilities to squeeze out a path!

There are not many Fiorentina players with this ability, but they are not too few. Djorkaeff is one, Effenberg is one, and Batistuta is also one.Although the Argentine's small skills are not very delicate, his physical fitness ensures the success rate of breakthroughs.

No.404 minutes, Batty, who had just pulled outside the penalty area, received a pass from Effenberg, and then the Argentine god of war used his strong body to suppress Costacurta who was defending him, and kicked his right foot Buckle, quickly completed the turn, and before Baresi rushed over to help defend, he directly kicked his feet and shot, and the ball flew into the gate guarded by Rossi.

"Goooooooal! Batistuta! It was Batistuta who scored the goal!! Argentine God of War used his 20th league goal this season to help Fiorentina lead AC Milan [-]-[-] in the away game!!!"
