The Era of Emerald

() "Addition and Completion Plan" Chapter 35

There should be a third update at night, around ten o'clock...

After the start of the game, Zaragoza, who took the lead to kick off, showed the characteristics of the Spanish team, using the player's skills to play ball control tactics, and through continuous passing to advance to Florence's half-court.

The Fiorentina players set up a defense line from the midfield, creating obstacles for the Spaniard's offense, and prepared to use the Italian team's housekeeping tactics to defend and counterattack to let the Spaniard have a good drink.

"Tony, what do you think is Zaragoza's weakest point?"

"I think it should be their starting right back, Marcos Cafu."

"Huh? Isn't Cafu the main right back of the Brazilian national team? I remember that in the Toyota Cup in 93, he was still playing for Sao Paulo. At that time, this player made AC Milan's defense embarrassing."

"Hehe, what you said is indeed correct, but Cafu's performance in Sao Paulo and the Brazilian national team is very different from his current state in Zaragoza."

In Zhuang Minge's impression, among the 11 Zaragoza players on the field, only right back Cafu and Uruguayan midfielder Poyet played well in the future, and Cafu played for Zaragoza this season. Unpleasant—Originally, his advantages are fast speed, strong assists, relatively poor one-on-one defense and defensive awareness, but because of his extremely abundant physical fitness, it can be guaranteed that he can pack a whole right-hander by himself. road.Therefore, whether he is in Sao Paulo or the Brazilian national team, he is an offensive weapon that the team relies on.

In Zaragoza, however, Cafu's greatest strengths were out of reach, with Mohamed Naeem standing in front of him depriving him of the right to run in from the right - something the full-back did. The first tactic was not very popular in European football at the time, and the head coach of Zaragoza obviously would not be as open as Brazil, allowing Cafu to play freely.

The advantages of the offensive end cannot be brought into play, and as a result, Cafu's shortcomings on the defensive end are infinitely magnified.Therefore, in history, Cafu only stayed in Zaragoza for one year before he was forced to return to Brazil to play football after the end of the season because he did not adapt to the team's tactics. He stayed in Brazil for two years to rebuild his confidence. After joining Roma, he met the famous coach Fabio Capello, where he was built into a world-class right back.

The current Cafu, in the Zaragoza team, cannot attack or defend. His position is extremely embarrassing, which can be said to be the biggest weakness of Zaragoza's defense.

"So, Cafu in Zaragoza is equivalent to a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. It has no advantages, but its shortcomings have been exposed."

Ranieri's pre-match preparations were obviously done very carefully. He noticed Cafu's embarrassing position in the Zaragoza team and made special arrangements for it.

So in the game, Effenberg, who had a good overall view, frequently gave the ball to Djorkaf who was pulled to the left and Lanner who was inserted from the wing, and then the two of them went directly to the defense on the right guarded by Cafu. Make an impact.

In addition, many of Fiorentina's offenses are counterattacks based on Zaragoza's pass errors, so Cafu often directly faces more than one Fiorentina offensive player, which makes his defense even more difficult.

As a result, in the 8th minute of the game, Naeem dribbled the ball from the right and was intercepted by Lanner. The latter then drove straight into Zaragoza's half from the wing. After attracting Cafu, Lanner kicked diagonally. Pass, pass the ball to Djorkaeff on the right!

"Great opportunity for Fiorentina! Cafu's tackle was too reckless, Zaragoza's right is now completely undefended!"

After receiving the pass, Djorkaeff didn't hesitate, dribbled the ball inside and rushed into Zaragoza's penalty area!

Seeing Djorkaf cut into his own penalty area, Zaragoza's central defender had to come over to block his progress, and at the same time be careful with his defensive movements. Once the movement is a little bigger, the French will definitely not I would mind showing my outstanding acting skills to the audience.

Seeing Aguado rushing towards him aggressively, the Frenchman had no intention of going past him directly.After all, he has lived in Italy for a year and a half. Djorkaeff has learned how to distribute the ball under his feet reasonably. Players who are too sticky to the ball are very unpopular with coaches in Italy, unless you have the ability to be like Maradona In that way, four or five people in a row and then hit the ball in...

Therefore, when Aguado rushed towards Djorkaf, Djorkaf was keenly aware that Zaragoza's defense must have an obvious gap at this time.

Due to Djorkaf's inward cut, Zaragoza's back line had to retreat to their own penalty area, and their midfielders had not rushed back. Therefore, there was a very obvious near the penalty spot. free time!

Such an obvious gap, Djorkaeff naturally would not let it go easily, with a slight flick of his left ankle, he immediately sent the ball near the penalty spot.

"It was Djorkaeff who got the ball, would he choose to pass... the ball was passed! He passed the ball! Batty received his pass at the penalty spot!"

The player who appeared in the empty space was Fiorentina captain Batistuta. He appeared in the position where he should appear most. Without any interference, he slammed his right foot vigorously to score!

At this time, only 8 minutes before the start of the game, Fiorentina relied on Lanner's fast break after a steal to gain the lead!

"Nice counterattack! Fiorentina laid layers of defense from the midfield, forced Zaragoza's players to make mistakes, and then launched a quick counterattack, and also allowed Zaragoza's defense to not have enough time to organize defense... This is definitely not accidental, Florence's counterattack in this game is quite good, without muddling at all, this is the authentic Italian team's defensive counterattack!" The host of Sky TV did not hesitate to praise Florence, In the eyes of these Englishmen, how could Fiorentina, who was able to beat the Premier League team, be killed by a mere Zaragoza?

Zhuang Minge also celebrated the goal with Karin in the box, although he did not expect that Zaragoza would concede the goal earlier than he thought.

The reason why Zaragoza was able to defeat Arsenal in the final of the Cup Winners' Cup in history was largely due to Graham's bribery scandal and the endless negative news within the Arsenal team that affected the normality of this London team. Play, not how strong Zaragoza is this season.

So, in this Cup Winners' Cup final, Zaragoza's players found desperately that no matter how hard they tried to attack the opponent's goal, the damn Italian would intercept their pass and play with the trend. A wave of extremely threatening counterattacks.

As for Fiorentina, the more they played, the more confident they became. They found that their opponent in tonight's final was not even as threatening as Lazio in the domestic league...

The balance of victory and defeat is tilting in the direction of Florence.
