PS3: Here I would like to thank book friends "Xiao Li Feihua", "Tianya Sailor", "Tianyuan Hanqi" and "Kirin 727" for their rewards.

Sampdoria's offensive is very fierce. Although Fiorentina players can rely on their perfect defensive system and personal ability to resist the opponent's first wave of offensive, they are often defeated by the nearest Sampdoria before they can hold the ball. The players are entangled, and when they finally get rid of the opponent's entanglement, the best time to launch a counterattack has also been lost.

Investing a lot of troops on the offensive end, even to the extent that only the central defenders and goalkeepers stayed behind in their own half, forcing the opponents to increase their investment in defensive troops; Force the opponent's players to counterattack flawlessly, thereby reducing the pressure on the defense line.This is the prerequisite for Zeman to dare to let the players use offense instead of defense in the game.If these requirements are not met, then Zeman's style of play that focuses on offense and light defense will only make the team he coaches die miserably in the game.

In other words, although Zeman's rather extreme tactical play can make Sampdoria repeatedly achieve unexpected results in games against strong teams, but the same, once the players who implement this set of tactics cannot understand The essence of it, or if you don't have enough physical strength to carry it through to the end, then Sampdoria's end will definitely be a fiasco.

It is precisely because of the extremely high requirements for players' physical fitness and tactical literacy that the team coached by Zeman often has ups and downs in performance-when the Roman duo was coaching, the lack of bench depth made it difficult for the Czechs. In the case of two-line or even three-line combat, it is ensured that the players have enough physical fitness to implement this tactic in every game; while in Sampdoria, although most of the time they only need to take care of the Serie A league, the Sea Blues The thickness of the lineup is obviously not as good as that of Rome and Lazio back then, which also led to Sampdoria's performance in the league battlefield is also very unstable, and it is common to win a game and lose a game.

Although Zeman's tactical thinking is a double-edged sword, once he can't create enough damage to the opponent, he will hurt himself, but today is Sampdoria's first game in the new season. Definitely won't have any problems.Therefore, tonight, the pressure faced by the Fiorentina players who choose to fight against their opponents in the game can be said to be considerable.

After all, the number of times Fiorentina played against their opponents can be said to be very few.With the top defense in Europe and Pirlo, the midfielder, Fiorentina rarely chooses this risky way to win the game. Most of the time they only need to catch the opponent's offensive block or defensive appearance The chance of loopholes can easily handle the game.But now, Viola had to play against Sampdoria, which made the players more or less uncomfortable.

Of course, not all Fiorentina players feel uncomfortable with this.Players with a strong desire to attack and perform like Lucio, Ronaldo, and Ribery are very excited about this, because in this open offensive environment, they can get more performance opportunities in the game!

All in all, one sentence can be used to explain Ronaldo's thoughts, that is, to win the game, to be in the limelight...

However, to everyone's surprise, it was not the offensive players of the two teams that stole the limelight in the confrontation staged at the Frankie Stadium on the night of August 8, but the players of Italian football. Buffon, the number one goalkeeper and the number one goalkeeper in the world!

As the world's No. [-] goalkeeper, Buffon has become a key figure in determining the trend of the game.In this game, Buffon's performance can be called a god.The goalkeeper blocked at least four threatening shots from Sampdoria players during the game and made no less than ten wonderful saves!

Buffon's godlike performance in this game directly led to Sampdoria, which created many good scoring opportunities in the game, only successfully broke through Fiorentina's goal once, but Sampdoria's goalkeeper had to have five consecutive goals. Fished the ball out of the goal behind him for the first time.

It is precisely for this reason that after the game, Zeman was very unconvinced in an interview with reporters on the scene and said that the reason why Fiorentina was able to win the game was not because they were better than San on the offensive end. Pudulia is outstanding, but because Viola has a world-class Buffon!

"As long as Buffon is still guarding the goal for Fiorentina, then Fiorentina can get at least fifteen more points in the league every season." Zeman summed up Buffon's importance to Fiorentina in this sentence, "To Without him in front of goal, we would have been able to beat Fiorentina."

For Zeman's remarks, Mourinho naturally responded immediately - it is indeed Viola's luck that Fiorentina has such an excellent top goalkeeper like Buffon, but why can't Sampdoria come up with such a statement? Where is the goalkeeper?

"From Toldo to Buffon, from Abbiati to Frey, Italian football has always had a tradition of excellent goalkeepers, but Sampdoria has never had a first-class goalkeeper since Pagliuca left. Shouldn't coach Zeman find the reason for this phenomenon in himself? You know, before Buffon joined Viola, Fiorentina's first goalkeeper was Toldo, who was trained by ourselves. "At the press conference after the game, Mourinho chose to leave the field after saying this with a smile, and threw Zeman, who was furious but couldn't find a point of rebuttal, alone there. The Czechs alone faced a large group of reporters on the scene with long guns and short guns.

Hmph, if you want to throw the blame on others, you must have the awareness to be thrown back!On the way out of Frankie Stadium, Mourinho thought triumphantly.

After a five-to-one win over Sampdoria in the league opener, the new season's Champions League group stage grouping ceremony also followed.In the group draw ceremony this time, Fiorentina's luck in the draw was not bad, and they were not assigned to a death group by UEFA, facing the terrible reality of going all out in the group stage.Moreover, among the three teams in the same group as Fiorentina, except for the second-tier Bayern Munich who has the strength to cause trouble for Viola, the rest of Vienna Rapid and Brugge do not have the ability to challenge Fiorentina.

Therefore, if there is no accident, Florence will not have any difficulty in qualifying from the group.The only question is whether Fiorentina can overwhelm Bayern Munich and advance to the round of [-] as the top of the group.
