The Era of Emerald

The game on the field continued, and the Lazio players were still attacking frantically. Fiorentina was suppressed for a while and had no strength to counterattack.

With the help of the goal post, goalkeeper Toldo once again "luckily" resolved the opponent's shot. At this time, the Frankie Stadium, the fans sitting in front of the TV at this time, and the Fiorentina players at this time, They all felt that the gate guarded by Toldo would sooner or later fall under the fierce attacks of the Blue Eagles.At this time, Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in the VIP box and watching the game, secretly prayed to God in his heart that Lazio would never break through the gate of his team.

The noise from the stands from time to time, and the occasional exclamation of fans, appeared frequently in the opening less than 10 minutes, which is enough to show the excitement of this game.

Some Lazio fans wearing sky blue jerseys in the stands are cheering for the team's wonderful performance. In their view, Lazio is just missing a goal, but according to the current trend, it will be sooner or later for Lazio to win thing……

But what the Lazio fans who were eager to see the goal did not expect was that the first goal came so quickly, but after the goal, Toldo, who had been devastated in the first 10 minutes, showed a proud smile , while Lazio's goalkeeper Marchegiani had to struggle to get the ball out of the net.

In the 11th minute of the first half, something that caught many Lazio fans by surprise happened. Fiorentina, who had been suppressed by Lazio before, scored the first goal!

"Djorkaeff's goal was very sudden. Gascoigne had just completed a beautiful long shot, but only five seconds later, the ball magically appeared at Effenberg 30 meters away. Then the German gave the ball to Djorkaeff with a long ball on the ground, and finally the Frenchman made the final blow... Let's watch the slow-motion replay... The long-ball counterattack was launched. It was Chiro Ferrara! It was he who instigated this successful counterattack with a precise long pass!"

The Fiorentina commentator did not hesitate to praise his beloved team, and the Viola fans in the Frankie Stadium, also led by the live DJ, shouted for Ferrara who instigated this attack cheers.

The scene has an absolute advantage, but the score is behind. In this embarrassing situation, if you switch to other coaches with average abilities, you may feel annoyed, timid, conservative, and may have emotional fluctuations due to your own negligence... ...However, Zhuang Mingge knew that the crazy Zeman would regard such a conceded goal as just an "accident".

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the rebroadcast footage focused on the Czech again, and Zhuang Mingge in front of the screen made a new discovery: the Czech standing on the sidelines made a strange gesture towards Lazio's defense.I saw him raising his right arm and shaking it in the direction of the center line of the court, as if he had made a new deployment for the next game.

"What does Zeman's gesture mean?" Only TV directors who are fully familiar with the temperament of the head coaches of Serie A can capture such a subtle close-up picture of the Czech coach. Of course, Zhuang Mingge, who is at a loss about this, is really at a loss puzzled.

"Zeman's gesture, could it be that the No. 6 defender Grandoni moved forward? I counted just now, and Zeman waved a total of six back and forth..." Karin also speculated on the Czech gesture meaning.

"Uh, Karin, I don't think the meaning of this gesture is that simple..."

But the changes on the field made Zhuang Minge speechless immediately, because as if to match Karin's guess just now, the young Lazio star defender actually started to sprint forward, directly to the front line of the attack!

Grandoni! number 6!

"Damn it, this Czech is really a master who likes to attack!"

Zeman is not the only coach who is good at attacking. Just like the Dutchman Cruyff is definitely more elegant and gorgeous in performing offense than the Czechs. Zeman's version of Lazio has a strong Eastern European offensive style to a large extent. Just like the Soviet Union's tank-style propulsion during World War II, it went forward indomitably, and some were just crushed like steel.

Only such a reckless attack will make Lazio stand out in Serie A where defensive counterattacks are popular, and will make Florence coach Ranieri standing on the sidelines extremely embarrassed.

When Ranieri, who has always been gentle and gentle, yelled and yelled on the sidelines regardless of his image, even the "layman" who watched the game with the mentality of watching the fun in the Frankie Stadium would be surprised by Lazio's "isn't it?" You die, I live" crazy and shocking.

The direct result of Grandoni's more participation in the offense is that the midfield has become the main battlefield for repeated competition between the two sides. The slight difference is that Florence regards this as the front line of attack, while Zeman's Azur The field became their last defensive position.

In this game, Ranieri was on the front line, and he sent Batistuta and Philip Inzaghi, the main striker combination of Fiorentina.Originally, Ranieri wanted to use Batty's air superiority to pose a certain threat to Lazio's defense, and then Inzaghi, who has a strong ability to seize opportunities, looked for murder behind Batty.

However, Ranieri did not expect that Lazio would dare to attack aggressively as soon as they came up. Although this left a huge hidden danger to his rear, considering Batistuta's general skills at his feet, Inzaghi's dribbling was even more important. The situation is appalling, and the only offensive player who can break through with the ball is Djorkaeff...

It has to be said that Lazio's tactics effectively restrained Fiorentina's striker partners.

As the game progressed, the two standing in the frontcourt had to face a serious fact: that is, there were fewer and fewer opportunities for them to enter the opponent's penalty area and shoot the goal calmly.This is not because the home team, Lazio, has re-strengthened its weak defense, but rather, in the stalemate for a long time, Fiorentina was gradually suppressed by Lazio in their own half. Batty and Inzaghi also had to drop back to strengthen their defense.

If it was just to prevent the opponent from overtaking the score, Zhuang Mingge, who was watching the game in the box, would definitely be more anxious than Ranieri by the side of the court.What Ranieri is doing now is just yelling loudly in front of the TV cameras regardless of his elegant image. If Zhuang Mingge is replaced, he doesn't know if he will rush into the stadium and yell at Inzaghi and others as idiots, but at least he will stand up. Yelled at Ranieri's side:

"Brothers, hold on to me, hold on..."

……

Zeman, his offense is always for the offense itself-the offense that ignores its own defense is full of sacrifice and fearlessness.Therefore, in the first 10 minutes of the game, Zeman exchanged his "fearlessness" for the jittery and dangerous situation in front of Florence, and also exchanged his sacrifice for the lagging behind in the score.

Ranieri, who led the score, therefore continued his defensive counterattack tactics, and the offensive storm at the Frankie Stadium intensified because of an away goal.

With the strong Boksic in the center position, Signori and Di Vaio swam to the wing naturally and wittily, which is conducive to giving play to their speed advantage.The direct confrontation with the two full-backs Lanna and Bilindelli is exactly what the two Lazio forwards enjoy.The ball was at Signori's feet again, but this time, he chose to cross it immediately.

"Boksic in front of the goal has outflanked in place, he got rid of Filicano's defense..."

The Croatian, who was ready for the final blow, watched the ball pass by his side. He had no time to turn around, but the striker's intuition told him that the flight route of the ball was towards the unmarked penalty area. Going forward, there is exactly where the Englishman Gascoigne is!

Three, two, one...Facing the direction of the ball, Gascoigne immediately completed the run-up in front of the goal. He swung his thick thighs and couldn't even wait for the ball to hit the ground...

“goooooooooal!!!”

1:1!Unrestrained run-up, mighty shot, a typical English goal!Lazio took advantage of a chance that was not a chance to equalize, and it was Gascoigne, who finally broke the scoring drought, who seized this opportunity.Gascoigne is not a striker, but Lazio fans generally believed that an Englishman who did not score was unforgivable. Gascoigne, who "accidentally" replaced Di Matteo in the starting lineup, repaid the trust of coach Zeman with an equalizing goal. Perhaps at this moment, England coach Venables, who is far away in England, is secretly stealing in his heart happiness.

"Good goal! Gascoigne actually scored a goal!" Zhuang Mingge was very surprised when he applauded.

"Is there anything wrong with Gascoigne's goal?" Karin asked suspiciously.

"Uh, this..." What else could Zhuang Minge say, but why Gascoigne hasn't slipped back to England yet.

Zhuang Mingge, who was at the Frankie Stadium, had already felt the suffocating tension emanating from the stadium.

If the score is behind, the Czech will tell you to fight back. If the score is ahead, he will tell you what it means to chase after the victory. If the score is tied, he will lead his Blue Eagles to be more crazy than other times. The Czechs like to do it most. The thing is, when the two sides are stalemate, use his crazy offense to tear the opponent's confidence to shreds.

Ranieri on the sidelines was keenly aware of this potential danger. Before the re-kick-off, he was always conservative and uncharacteristically called Effenberg over from the sidelines and asked him to inform others that the game , I have to change my tactics.

"Stefan (Effenberg)! Tell everyone! We will use the same crazy attack as that Czech madman! Completely crush this crazy team!"
