The Era of Emerald

ps: This is the first update today, and the 51000 recommended update will be posted later in the evening. Well, that’s it~

"The game is on! Batistuta took the ball first and he gave the ball to Rui Costa behind him! The Portuguese midfielder didn't take the ball forward, he passed the ball back directly to the further back. Effenberg!"

According to Capello's pre-match arrangement, the Fiorentina players started to play steadily from the midfield. They planned to use their technical advantages to control the rhythm of the game first, suppress their opponents, and then attack Parma's goal!

Parma's coach Ancelotti is not stupid. He has studied these players in Fiorentina. He naturally knows that there is a big gap between Parma and Fiorentina in terms of midfield-although Brambella, Stanislav The midfield composed of Qi, San Sini and Dino Baggio can also be called the first-class in Serie A, but it is much inferior to Fiorentina's midfield.

The midfield composed of Redondo, Davis, Effenberg, and Rui Costa can throw a distance of one block from Parma, no matter in terms of technology, game experience or even personal ability. In terms of performance, they are all higher than Parma's midfielder.

What's more, Fiorentina's bench still has stars like Di Biagio, Djorkaeff, and Tomasi, and they can make corresponding adjustments according to changes in the situation on the court.What about Parma?It is already the limit for them to come up with such a starting midfielder...

Zhuang Mingge has always believed that when the Tanzi family was in charge of Parma, they actually did not have a belief in building the club into a wealthy family like the late former Sampdoria boss Paulo Mantovani. They are satisfied with a few championships.

Throughout the 90s, Parma has obvious weaknesses in the lineup, that is, their midfield thickness is too weak, and it really doesn't look like a team that aims to compete for the championship.

If it is said that Parma's lack of midfield before the implementation of the Bosman Act was due to the limitation of foreign aid quotas, it can be said that it is justifiable. After all, it was impossible for anyone to be perfect in that era; Zhuang Mingge is puzzled by the fact that this problem still exists after the bill has been implemented for a full year. Why does Parma, who has strengthened both the striker and the defense, ignore his midfielder?Ancelotti had to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and moved Sansini forward to the position of the midfielder.

It is precisely because of the gap in the midfield that after the start of the game, Parma's players began to shrink the defense line according to the coach's deployment and played a defensive counterattack.

Parma's move was in the hands of the Fiorentina players. They had planned to take the offensive initiative and took over the area after the Parma gave up control of the midfield. They used their excellent foot skills to continuously pass the ball back and forth. , so that the Parma players' pressing was useless.

At the same time, they also mobilized Parma's defense through these passes, looking for opportunities to deliver a fatal blow.

As the main midfielder of Parma, Dino Baggio is indeed a fierce player, otherwise he would not have held the position of the main midfielder of the Italian national team with Albertini for six years in history, but even if he No matter how brave and good at fighting, facing the joint impact of Costa and Effenberg is also a little powerless.

As for his partner Sansini, since he has just changed from a central defender to a defensive midfielder, the Argentine veteran is obviously not very adaptable to this new position, and there are still a lot of problems in defense, which is why Dino Ba Joe was in such a hurry.

Dino Baggio was very depressed to have such a unconscious selling teammate around him.

And the Fiorentina players are not fools, they soon discovered this and began to use various methods to attack the defense zone that Sansini was in charge of.

Just 6 minutes into the game, Rui Costa dribbled the ball diagonally to the left side of the penalty area. Sancini stood too far back and didn't get close to the opponent in time. As a result, the Portuguese took the opportunity and shot from a long distance. It's a pity The ball hit Thuram's body and flew out of the baseline.

Two minutes later, Fiorentina made a comeback and faced Effenberg's assault. This time Sansini learned his lesson and rushed to defend the Tigers, but was easily beaten by Effenberg and Costa and then broke through. The Argentine's defense, Batty received a through pass from Effenberg, leaned on Thuram and turned around and volleyed vigorously. The ball missed the post slightly, and Parma escaped again.

No. In the 11th minute, Redondo drove forward with the ball and sent a diagonal pass after luring Stanich to grab the ball. Carlos who inserted from behind received the ball and cut into the middle. Sidney did not choose to grab but took a few steps back to guard against the opponent's breakthrough.

Carlos saw that no one was coming to press him, so he swung his left leg decisively, and volleyed vigorously from 30 meters away from the goal!

The ball was like a fired shell, whistling and flying towards the gate of Parma!

Sensini, who was guarding against the opponent's breakthrough, was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect that this little Brazilian would dare to shoot directly from this position. He hadn't seen him kick like this last season...

Of course, at that time, the two coaches of Inter Milan, Bianchi and Hodgson, strictly prohibited Carlos from doing this kind of behavior. Carlos was not the kind of player who disobeyed the coach's tactical arrangements. You told him not to do so. He really quit.And Capello obviously wouldn't make such a foolish move of exploiting weaknesses and avoiding strengths. He specially formulated a set of tactics for Carlos's characteristics as a means to break the deadlock and the iron barrel formation.

So, Sansini was fooled by his own experience. At this moment, he could only watch the ball kicked by Carlos fly past his left hand and go straight to his gate.

Seeing that the ball was about to hit the net, just as Carlos was smiling triumphantly, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Parma's goal!He lifted the ball out of the baseline with a single palm, and then slammed it onto the turf!

It's Gianluigi Buffon!He saved Parma just before the goal was about to fall!

"It's...Parma teenager Gianluigi Buffon! Parma's new coach Carlo Ancelotti is a young goalkeeper promoted from the youth team after taking office! This 17-year-old goalkeeper just now Made an extremely wonderful save, and it was his wonderful save that kept the Parma team in the door!" The commentator was drooling, not hiding his appreciation for Buffon, "Regardless of Buffon's subsequent performance How, now I think all Parma fans should applaud Buffon, who questioned their main position before, without him, Parma must be doomed this time!"
