The Era of Emerald

ps: First ask for a recommendation ticket here, thank you everyone...

After a 15-minute intermission, the two sides changed places to fight again.

Since the endless breakthroughs and goals in the first half made all the fans watching this game very happy, this also raised the fans' expectations for this game invisibly.

After all, after hearing that the UEFA Super Cup final was a civil war between two Serie A teams, many fans were disappointed at first, because in their impression, the Italian teams were all believers in one-to-zero doctrine. Being extremely conservative, it is impossible for them to play pleasing football.

However, the performances of Fiorentina and Vicenza in the first half completely subverted some people's cognition, and made many people realize for the first time that Italian teams can also play this kind of exciting game of.

In fact, at the beginning, Italian football chose to start with defense only for the purpose of pursuing practicality, but it accidentally went astray on this road, giving people a feeling that as long as there are Italian teams participating in the game, it will be inevitable. A dull illusion.

And now, with the rise of Fiorentina, Vicenza, Udinese, Lazio and Roma, which often take the initiative in the game, the fans' impression of Italian teams has changed unconsciously.

Of course, taking the initiative to attack does not mean that they will relax their emphasis on defense. They just don't abandon the practice of giving up offense and defending purely to prevent the opponent from scoring like many previous Italian teams.It has become that while building a defensive system, it also pays attention to the players' performance on the offensive end.

On the other hand, Fiorentina and Vicenza, supported by Fiorentina, combine the zone defense theory proposed by Sacchi with the traditional Italian chain defense to construct a complete defensive system. Only then will the matter of offense be considered.

So, while it looked like Fiorentina and Vicenza were attacking aggressively in the first half, there were actually not many holes in their defensive formations during the game.

The reason why there were two goals in the first half of the game was more because of the outstanding personal abilities of Vieri and Ronaldo, as well as Tony's physical condition and Larson's keen sense of smell in front of the goal. It is hard to say whether there will be a goal until now.

Due to the wonderful performances of the two teams in the first half, many people are full of expectations for the performance of the two teams in the second half!

However, there are also many fans who worry that after a frenzied confrontation in the first half, the head coaches of both sides will choose to act conservatively in the next game because they are worried about losing the ball in this game that will determine the outcome. .

However, the worries of these fans quickly disappeared as the second half of the game began, because the players on both sides did not concede a large number of goals and became conservative. More and more active!

The reason why Vicenza chooses to attack has been analyzed before, so I won’t mention it here; the reason why Florence did not choose to defend and counterattack, but to play against the opponent, is mainly because the offense of Vicenza has always been If it continues to ferment like this, whether their defense line can always be so strong and not make mistakes still has to be marked with a big question mark.

After all, players are human too, and human beings will make mistakes, so no matter how indestructible a defense line is in the eyes of outsiders, once a mistake occurs, it is quite a fatal thing.

Therefore, Fiorentina's most troublesome style of play, such as Vicenza's unreasonable side breakthrough and direct cross to find the center, is because it really tests the ability and concentration of the two central defenders.

In the second half, Vicenza still used the most simple and crude tactical play, unremittingly crossing in the penalty area like Florence; Competing for the ball's landing point, competing for every opportunity to form a shot.

It has to be said that Vicenza's luck was quite good. Soon after the start of the second half, they changed the situation on the field through such an attack!

In the 58th minute, Odo made a high pass after receiving a return pass from Kanchelski. Stam made a header to clear the siege, but Ballack grabbed the ball. The latter shot directly outside the penalty area. The ball hit Makelele's leg and produced a change of line, which caused Toldo, who was already ready, to change his fighting posture in a hurry to block the ball out of the goal.

Because Toldo's save was quite hasty, the ball was not thrown by him, but bounced back into the penalty area.At this time, Larsson once again appeared ghostly at the point where the ball landed. The Fiorentina players watched helplessly as the Swedish striker scored a supplementary shot five meters in front of the goal, rewriting the score to [-]-[-]!

So far, Vicenza has finally completed the overtake of Fiorentina on the scoreboard!

Under the unfavorable situation of being reversed by the opponent, the Fiorentina players did not panic, nor did they feel anxious because the score fell behind.Although there were very few times when Viola fell behind in the past two years, the rich game experience made up for this, making the players realize that only by playing steadily can Fiorentina's strengths be better utilized. Therefore, after the game restarted, Fiorentina The players steadily launched an attack towards the gate of Vicenza!

At this time, Vicenza fell into a period of fatigue after rushing for nearly an hour, and the ability to attack on the side began to decline, which made the offense far less threatening than at the beginning of the second half.

In the 68th minute, Fiorentina, who had regained the advantage, tore through Vicenza's back line through a continuous pass from the front court, and Ronaldo, who had missed a single-handed goal before, completed the fatal goal. With one blow, the two teams were brought back to the same starting line!

After equalizing the score, Fiorentina did not relax, but planned to take down the rather difficult opponent in front of them in one go, and completely kill the suspense of the game!

In the 72nd minute, Fiorentina got a free kick in the front court. Redondo, who was in charge of taking the penalty, suddenly passed the ball to Carlos on the edge of the wall. The latter volleyed vigorously from a small angle on the left, but the ball was reacted quickly. Barotta blocked it with his legs!

In the 77th minute, Effenberg volleyed suddenly from 28 meters away from the goal. Balotta flew to the rescue. Onopko showed his level as a first-class central defender this time. Eli kicked the ball out of the baseline in time before!

Taking advantage of this rare chance of dead ball, Capello and Guidolin immediately began to dispatch troops off the court.

The former replaced Kanchelski, who had consumed too much energy, with Lauren, and moved Otto, who lacked defensive ability, forward. At the same time, he replaced Ambrosini with Coyce, strengthening the defense in the middle of the court; the latter The latter replaced Ljungberg with Iranian international Madavikia, and then replaced the slightly quiet Makelele with Zanetti.

Perhaps out of insurance considerations, the two head coaches did not use up the last substitution, but kept it in their hands for emergencies.

In the ensuing time, although players from both sides created some chances, it is a pity that these shots did not turn into the goal they desperately needed.

Finally, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the second half, Fiorentina and Vicenza drew 90-[-] in [-] minutes of regular time, and the game officially entered the overtime stage!
