The Era of Emerald

PS1: Today's update is here. I hope that all book friends will not pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise that there will be no continuous updates...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

"Tsk, the thing I was most worried about happened." Looking at Vincent, Milito and others who were celebrating their goals on the sidelines, Robert Mancini frowned and smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. Expecting that the team would be scored by Fiorentina just halfway through the first half, "It seems that I will come up with countermeasures as soon as possible to contain Fiorentina's offensive. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until the midfield During the rest time, the suspense of this game will be completely lost."

Although on the surface, Fiorentina's goal was because Pancaro, who was in charge of defending on the right, failed to keep up with the extremely fast Vincent, thus giving the opponent an excellent opportunity to create a one-handed goal.But in fact, the main responsibility for Lazio's conceded goal lies with two people. One is naturally Gianni Keida, who failed to play the ball in time and was successfully intercepted by Pirlo and Ballack. The other is that he failed to defend in the first place Milito, Mikhailovich who let the opponent calmly complete an exquisite response.

As a new-generation head coach who is widely favored by the outside world, he can certainly see the problems in Lazio's defense. Among other things, the confrontation between Mikhailovich and Favalli has fallen by more than a notch compared to the peak period. Ability and athletic ability are enough to be blasted to pieces by Florence's top attackers.

Originally, Mancini was also because of Mikhailovich's ability to grow old and strong. In this game, the small universe broke out to stare down Milito, the arrow figure in Fiorentina's attack line.Judging from the current situation, his thinking is still a little too naive.

After all, although the 34-year-old old Miha still has consciousness and skills, his experience has been well precipitated over time and turned into part of his own strength, but good consciousness and sufficient experience do not mean that when Milito made When he moves, he can complete the defensive tasks assigned by Mancini.The decline in physical fitness and slow response brought about by increasing age makes him always slow down when defending the opponent, and then the defense is not in place, which brings huge hidden dangers to Lazio's defense.

In contrast, although Favalli has also started to go downhill, his competitive state is still good enough to serve as the main central defender of a strong team.Of course, if Lazio's goal is to become a top giant that can compete with the top three in the north and even Fiorentina, then Favalli's ability cannot meet the needs of the Blue Eagles.

Therefore, how to solve Mikhailovich, the defensive loophole in Lazio's back line, has become one of the problems that Mancini urgently needs to solve in this game.If he can't come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, then Lazio's loss in this game is basically a certainty.

Mancini can realize this, as can the Fiorentina players and Heynckes.Therefore, in the rest of the first half, the Fiorentina players crazily bombarded this obvious weakness in Lazio's defense. The 34-year-old Micha was so tired that his legs trembled and his eyes became straight. Mancini yelled, telling him to replace himself quickly, so as not to suffer such cruel treatment again.

Mancini, who has fully learned from Mikhailovich, made substitutions and adjustments during the intermission as expected. He will Mikhailovich, who was almost blasted by Milito Qi was replaced, and the powerful central defender Dainelli introduced this summer was sent, intending to solve this problem in the most direct and simple way.

Although Mancini can also solve this problem by adjusting the team's tactics, such as allowing Gianni Keida and Stankovic to strengthen the protection of the back line, pay attention to cutting off the connection between Milito and the Fiorentina midfielder, But in this way, Lazio, who has invested too much energy on the defensive end, is bound to reduce the power invested in the offense, and then lose control of the midfield.

Everyone knows that once Fiorentina controls the midfield and takes the initiative in the game, their opponents have very limited room to turn around.

However, Mancini's action was still slow, because when the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the score displayed on the big screen above the stadium had become two to zero!

Two goals behind and one goal behind are two completely different concepts. When they are one goal behind, Lazio may still be able to play steadily and wait for the opportunity, but when they are two goals behind, if the Blue Eagles still want to be in this round of the league Once you get points, you can only choose the path of taking the initiative to attack.

After all, Fiorentina, who led by two goals, could shrink their defensive line in the second half and keep the score until the end of the game. Even if something went wrong and they accidentally conceded the ball, Viola could still take the initiative in the score.But Lazio is not the case. If they don't take the initiative to attack, then it is conceivable that Fiorentina is likely to use the defensive counterattack that all Italian teams will suffocate them to death.

Some people may ask, since Mikhailovich and the others are old, and Dainelli and Odo have proved themselves in Serie A, why Mancini still put them in the starting lineup, why not on the team? What about Mikhailovich, who has been proven unable to defend Milito after conceding a goal at halftime?

On the one hand, it is because Mancini fought side by side with Mihajlovic and others at the end of his career and won a league trophy. Last season, he was with them as the head coach of Lazio. Under the circumstances, they just won the UEFA Cup semi-finals and the league No.5. They have shared joys and sorrows. Naturally, their friendship is not comparable to those newcomers who have no foundation in Lazio like Dainelli.

On the other hand, it is because Lazio has just experienced a large-scale personnel change this past summer. Although the team's strength has greatly improved due to this, it has also planted the seeds of instability.After all, the influx of a large number of new players has made the tacit understanding between the players very insufficient, and the team's tactical system also needs to be readjusted according to the characteristics of these new players.Therefore, Mancini needs a long period of time for the players in the midfield to knead into a whole and develop enough tacit understanding. In this case, it is very necessary to ensure the stability of the back line.

Mancini doesn't want to face the situation where Lazio's backcourt has not yet formed enough tacit understanding, because doing so has the hope of giving the Blue Eagles an away victory over Fiorentina, but it is more likely The most important thing is that this kind of change will cause extremely serious problems in the cooperation of the players, which will lead to a large-scale collapse of the team in the game, making the game that could have been won into an out-and-out defeat.
