The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Sunday, a little bit late, I hope readers don’t pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise not to stop updating...

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.

Nedved's goal instantly ignited the enthusiasm of thousands of Juventus fans who came with the team. These people happily applauded and cheered in the visiting fans area of ​​​​the stands of the Frankie Stadium, which attracted unkind looks from the surrounding Fiorentina fans. ——You dare to yell so much in our territory, you are looking for your own death, hey!

As a result, fierce conflict broke out between Fiorentina fans and Juventus fans in the stands.Fortunately, because the guardrails separated the fans from both sides into two areas, they could only provoke each other verbally, and it was absolutely impossible to do it manually. Therefore, the extent of this conflict was limited to verbal cannonballs, and no personnel appeared. Injury situation.

While the fans of both sides were competing in the stands, Mourinho's face on the sidelines was also pale at the moment.It wasn't until this time that the Portuguese marshal, who had always been full of confidence, realized that he still underestimated the energy of Juventus after all.

"I miscalculated. I didn't expect Nedved to hit the goal directly in that situation." Although in order to ensure the stability of the army, Mourinho still maintained a calm attitude after the team lost the ball. expression, but this does not mean that the same is true in the heart of the Portuguese at the moment, "It seems that I still underestimated the abilities of Juventus and Trapattoni. If I knew this would happen, I should have arrange"

It's not that Mourinho has made arrangements to defend Nedved's heavy gunners from long-range shots, but in the Portuguese's vision, Nedved and the others should pull out enough space through continuous passing before kicking Hit the goal, instead of forcing a shot like a gamble under the pincers of Gattuso and De Rossi as just now.Because a shot like this is very easy to be interfered by the opponent's defensive player, thus deviating from the sight.

However, it is obvious that Nedved's luck this time is really against the sky.The Czech Ironman's long-range shot is not only powerful but also fast, and the ball goes straight to the dead corner of the goal. Therefore, even a goalkeeper of Buffon's level is helpless against this world-class long-range shot.

Nedved's goal can be said to be crucial. It not only stabilized Juventus's military spirit at this critical moment, but also allowed the Bianconeri to regain control of the initiative on the field, allowing them to take the next step with peace of mind. Play Fiorentina's counterattack in the next time, instead of having to press the formation to take the initiative in order to win the game like at the beginning of the game.

Therefore, after the game restarted, the Juventus players based on defense took the initiative to retreat and shrink the formation to lure the Fiorentina players who were behind in the score to attack.In their view, as the side behind the score, the Fiorentina players should be eager to equalize the score now.In this way, they can get more scoring opportunities, who mainly focus on defensive counterattacks.

However, to the surprise of the Juventus players, in the face of this unfavorable situation, the Fiorentina players did not rush to launch an offensive after the re-kick-off, but under the command of Pirlo, they began to play in their half. It seems that he has no intention of attacking at all.

What's happening here?Don't Florence want to win this game?Finding that the opponent's actions were completely inconsistent with their expectations, the Juventus players were a little puzzled, but they did not dare to relax their vigilance just like that.God knows if this is intentional by Fiorentina. If they are caught by the opponent to tie the score as soon as they relax, then they will be crying without tears.

What the Juventus players don't know is that this is a temporary decision made by Pirlo after careful consideration, in order to prevent the team from falling into the trap set by the Bianconeri.In Pirlo's view, his task is to ensure that the team does not continue to concede as much as possible before Mourinho makes specific adjustments.As for the equalizer or something, it is better to leave it to the head coach to consider.

To be honest, it was actually a helpless move for Pirlo to do this.Who made Mourinho dispatch three defensive midfielders in one breath in the starting list, but left only three players (including Pirlo) in the frontcourt, making Pirlo now even if he wants to take the initiative to attack , Florence does not have enough manpower to execute.Therefore, with limited manpower on the offensive end, Pirlo can only choose to stabilize the situation first and wait for orders from Mourinho.

At this time, Mourinho, who had come out of the state of self-blame, finally came up with a countermeasure.I saw that he first drove all the players on the bench out to warm up, so that Trapattoni could not judge his real intention of substitution; then, Mourinho took advantage of the team's throw-in and sent praise Brotta invited his side to teach him an opportunity, and ended the brief conversation before Rossetti arrived.

Mourinho knew that after Nedved broke through Fiorentina's goal, the strategy he had arranged before the game about the main defensive counterattack in this game had completely failed, and if he made a substitution in the first half The adjustment not only slaps him in the face, but also makes the players who are replaced feel resentful.Therefore, Mourinho can only let the team continue to implement the previous tactics and wait until the intermission to make arrangements.

After receiving the instructions from Mourinho, the Fiorentina players executed them well.The defensive trio of De Rossi, Gattuso and Makelele formed a wide net in front of the penalty area, keeping the vast majority of Juventus' attacks outside the penalty area.Moreover, after suffering a loss from Nedved, they paid more attention to blocking the shooting route in the following time, and no longer gave Juventus players the space to hit the goal.

In this way, until the first half of the game entered the stoppage time period, although Fiorentina did not launch a few decent offensives against Juventus' goal, they were not allowed to expand the score again by the Bianconeri, keeping the score of zero to one. Keep to the game No.405 minutes.

However, when the fourth official announced 3 minutes of stoppage time in the first half, Fiorentina made a sudden effort. Pirlo sent consecutive long passes near the middle circle to hit Zebina and Gallas behind, while Vincent Te and Milito seized two of these opportunities and formed an attack, which instantly made Juventus's goal become jittery!

It is a pity that although Vincent and Milito successfully received Pirlo's pass and converted it into a shot, none of the balls shot by the two of them could penetrate Frey's ten fingers. A goal behind Juventus ended the first half of the game.
