The Era of Emerald

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

When this long game finally came to an end with Ambrosetti's missed penalty kick, the ecstatic look of Effenberg who scored the key penalty and Ambrosetti's helpless tears were overwhelmed by the audience present. A reporter snapped it, and this contrasting photo has become a must-have for countless media when annotating the final!

Fiorentina struggled to win, but Vicenza was gloriously defeated!This is the evaluation given by most sports media to this game after the UEFA Super Cup.

Facing the mighty Fiorentina that almost dominates the entire European football world, the Vicenza players showed amazing courage and willpower in this game, tenaciously dragging Viola into the final penalty shootout middle.In the process of shooting penalty kicks, Vicenza even withstood the huge psychological pressure when the score was behind. It was only after fifteen rounds of fierce battles with the Fiorentina that they were defeated by a penalty kick. Victory was given to Viola.

And this just gives those media who are afraid of chaos all day long enough space to create topics. They spend a lot of space to let people focus on Fiorentina. It took a full fifteen rounds of penalty kicks to kill Vicenza and win the championship. Trophies, but turned a blind eye to the fact that Fiorentina created far more excellent chances than their opponents in the game.

These biased comments and reports from the media inevitably affected the judgment of the fans, causing many people to mistakenly believe that Fiorentina's strength has declined sharply with the departure of a large number of players in the summer, even Vicenza. Little characters can't handle it.

Of course, such a point of view can only deceive fans and laymen who don't know much about football.After all, as the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way.Those who are really engaged in football, such as the head coaches who lead the team to play games all day long, none of them believed the continuous nonsense of these media, but invariably raised the risk factor of Vicenza and Fiorentina to a higher level in their hearts.

After all, this protracted penalty shootout really shocked many people's jaws and glasses. After watching the video of this game, almost all coaches have to weigh it in their hearts first, and look at the teams they coach. Is there a strong willpower like Fiorentina and Vicenza who can score so many penalties under such tremendous pressure?

In a penalty shootout, it takes fifteen rounds to decide the winner. What kind of trouble is this? !

Moreover, the most important thing is that among the [-] penalty kicks, the players on both sides only missed three penalty kicks. I have a new understanding of my ability, and I realize that if I really meet these two teams in the future, the game will probably be very difficult...

A team with many stars is not terrible, but a team with strong willpower and excellent players is very scary, because this kind of team is often extremely difficult to defeat, and if you are not careful, you will be defeated. People reversed the reversal.

In this way, under the tangled gaze of a group of head coaches, Fiorentina ushered in the second official game of the new season.

Three days after the European Super Cup ended, that is, on August 8, the Italian Super Cup final of the 31-199899 season was held as scheduled at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

And the opponents in this game are still Fiorentina and Vicenza. It can only be said that the two teams who fought a battle three days ago can only be said to be fate. The glory of the king, and the runner-up of the Coppa Italia happens to be Vicenza, the team that won the Cup Winners' Cup?

As a result, Fiorentina and Vicenza had to face a rather embarrassing schedule at the beginning of the season, meeting consecutively in the finals of the European Super Cup and the Italian Super Cup.

Since both teams suffered a lot in the UEFA Super Cup final three days ago, many players have not recovered from that attrition war.Therefore, in the final tonight, Capello and Guidolin had to make a substantial rotation of their respective starting lineups to prevent the players from getting injured due to the fatigue caused by continuous combat. Then the two head coaches But you will be dumbfounded.

After all, if the general is compromised before the start of the league, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to the morale and strength of the team.

It is precisely because of this factor that what was presented to the fans at the Olympic Stadium tonight was two sets of starting lineups that were very different from those three days ago.

Compared with the starting lineup that did not lose against the giants, the strength of Vicenza after the rotation, at least the book strength, has declined sharply.The team's formation has also changed from the previous four-four-two flying with two wings to a small diamond in the midfield, which has become more focused on layer-by-layer transmission and gradual penetration.

On the defensive line, Odo and Koko were replaced by Lauren and Grosso. Although Balotta, Onopko and Repka still appeared in the starting lineup, they experienced the three days ago. It is still unknown how much of their state has recovered from the fierce battle.

In the midfield, the starting single midfielder is the old and powerful Serie A player Coyce, the young player Morfeo is the core of the organization, and Brocchi and Zauri play the role of connecting the front and back courts. Their task is mainly to provide support for Morfeo on the offensive end, and at the same time assist Coyce to build the midfield defense.

On the forward line, both generals Tony and Larson were due to physical problems Guidolin Xuezang, replaced by C. Lucarelli (the Livorno center who won the Serie A Golden Boot) and this summer. Cristiano Doni, who was transferred by the Atalanta team who lost the relegation play-off.

In contrast, Fiorentina obviously has more advantages in this regard, because Capello has much more available cards than Guidolin in Vicenza.With the current player configuration of Fiorentina's first team, it is not impossible for Capello to play two completely different starting lineups with similar strengths. The only problem is how to keep all players in a relatively good position. competitive status.

Goalkeepers De Sanctis, Fortunato and Madaviggia serve as the starting full-backs, Materazzi and Hyypia partner in the middle; Makelele sits in the midfielder alone, and Deco and Pirlo form the ball The team is dual-core, Gattuso plays the role of a midfielder with his excellent running ability and fierce interception ability; while the partner striker is Philip Inzaghi and Di Natale, the former The elusive running position and the latter's comprehensive ability complement each other, and they are a very good striker combination.

In this way, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of fans, Fiorentina and Vicenza together opened the curtain of the Italian Super Cup and started the second contest of the season!
