In the next two weekends, although trapattoni coached Juventus to win two big rivals, Inter Milan and Lazio, and won two consecutive victories, he also focused on the league. Florence also scored three points in Messina, a newly promoted player, and Bologna, a middlestream team, and both of them won by three goals, which didn’t give the Bianconeri a chance to widen the points gap!
In the first 14 rounds of Serie A, Florence and Juventus both scored 13 wins, 1 loss and 39 points, which were neck and neck in the standings. However, it is clear to everyone that the Serie A champion is destined to be born in these two teams!
Other teams that were recognized as capable of winning the championship before the season, such as Milan Shuangxiong and Lazio, have fallen far behind Florence and Juventus in the middle of the league, and now the hope of winning the championship is quite slim.
Chapter 137 The season is in progress (4)
In the first 14 rounds, the league scored 39 points, only because the national team unexpectedly lost to Vicenza, losing the only official game in the season. Frankly speaking, Mourinho’s coaching in Florence was perfect. If there was not a result that was not comparable to Juventus, the Portuguese coach who first landed on the top league stage, he might have been able to lock the Serie A winter champion before leading the team.
However, although there is a state that is also against the sky, Juventus has taken a lot of bets, which makes Mourinho and Florence fail to get the appreciation they deserve, but the Portuguese’s achievements have been recognized by people, and together with Mancini and Deschamps, they have become one of the leaders of the new generation of coaches!
On December 7th, in the final round of the Champions League group stage, facing Werder Bremen from afar, Mourinho turned most of his attention to the league battlefield. He was not interested in putting too much energy into this important game, but sent a set of substitutes and young players as the main starting lineup. Obviously, Mourinho was trying to train the team in this game. The highlevel competition of the Champions League made these young players in the team grow up as soon as possible.
So Florence, the main force, was blocked by Bremen at home, and shook hands with the Bundesliga champion after 90 minutes of competition, ending the season in the Champions League group stage with a draw. Unfortunately, it was a memorable achievement to win and advance.
However, it is precisely because Mourinho rotated most of the main players in the Champions League that Florence will have to play the strongest team against AC Milan in the 15th round of Serie A at the weekend. If Mourinho doesn’t do this, Florence will probably lose the second game of the season at the San Siro.
At 7 o’clock on the evening of December 12th, the stadium of Milan San Siro was full of people. Tens of thousands of AC Milan fans were in the stands, celebrating the status quo of the team’s second goal leading the opponent by two points!
That’s right. In this strong dialogue, the strongest team played in Florence, and it was knocked by the opponent from the beginning of the game. Seedorf knocked on Buffon’s guard gate just three minutes after the game, which was the first record of the Rossoneri!
To add insult to injury, AC Milan scored in another wave of attacks just as the Fiorentina players planned to stabilize the situation and prepare to launch a counterattack laterthis time the Rossoneri scored a Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko. Because Kaka’s breakthrough in the middle of the road attracted the attention of most Fiorentina defenders, there was no Fiorentina player around him when the Brazilian distributed the ball to Shevchenko’s foot.
So in the 20 th minute of the game, the Ukrainian nuclear warhead was successfully detonated at the San Siro Stadium, which also ignited the enthusiasm of all AC Milan fans at the scene!
Faced with the unfavorable situation of falling behind by two goals in 20 minutes, Mourinho didn’t make a hasty decision to let the players stabilize their defense or make a crazy counterattack in the next game. Because of this, Florence will easily be good at grasping the opportunity, AC Milan players will further expand their lead and completely lose the possibility of turning over. What Mourinho needs to do is to find out the problems in the team’s defense from these two goals as soon as possible and solve them properly, otherwise the door of Florence will probably still be captured by opponents.
Through the analysis of the first 20 minutes of the game, analysts from the Portuguese tacticians such as Heinks quickly realized that the team was so passive after the game and was scored twice by the opponent. The main reason was that Kaka and Shevchenko, the two offensive ends, were extremely difficult to stop at the stadium and echoed each other, which disturbed the Florence defense, which led to the team losing two goals in the first 20 minutes.
After a season of tempering, this season Kaka encountered a new show wall at the beginning of the season, and his performance in the first few leagues was much worse than that of the season. However, when he entered December, the Brazilian star seemed to find his state, and his iconic breakthrough in highspeed dribbling gradually became a trick that all defending Kaka players felt could do.
Therefore, if Mourinho can’t figure out how to limit Kaka’s already dribbling breakthrough, it will be difficult for Florence players to counterattack when they come in, and at the same time, they will worry about their opponents’ counterattack. It would be a ghost if a good result can be achieved in such a game.
However, it is obviously difficult to learn from Robson, Capello and Heinx for many years. When Mourinho saw the Portuguese waving his hand, he ordered Makelele to keep a fulltime watch on Kaka, so that the Brazilian could not easily receive the ball from his teammates. Even if he got the ball, he would never let him get up. At the same time, he also asked Ballack to take over the work that Makelele was in charge of, that is, the midfield sweeper to avoid the direct impact of AC Milan players on the defense line.
Although Claude Makelele has made a name for himself in the football field, he has not inflated himself, but still worked hard on the football field. He took on most of the dirty work in the midfield by himself and resolutely followed the tactical arrangement of the head coach, so when Mourinho made this decision, the French immediately ran to deal with Kaka.
Although Ballack was a little surprised by the magic bird arrangement, the Germans attached importance to team character so that he wouldn’t care about these things in the game, or that Mourinho would carry out all the things that were good for the team.
Mourinho’s adjustment soon paid off. In the 26th minute of the game, Kaka tried to speed up the breakthrough of Makelele’s defense after receiving Seedorf’s ball from his back, but in the process of turning around, he was stabbed by the French. Barakma gave the ball to Pirlo in front, and the latter gave the ball to Vincent at a high speed along the left.
Cafu, who is thirtyfour years old, is praised by many people for being healthy and vigorous, but it is an indisputable fact that his physical fitness is slippery and he will return to defense more and more from time to time after pressing for assists. The captain of the Brazilian national team can’t catch up quickly enough. Vincent can eat ash behind the Spaniard and watch the other side go straight into the penalty area after receiving Pirlo’s long ball, forcing Dida to abandon the door and attack. Then he threw the ball across the goal and assisted it at the same speed, and dumped Paolo Maldini to guard Cristiano Ronaldo to score!
One to two! Florence regained a city!
Chapter 13 The season is in progress (5)
The whole goal process from Kaka’s dribbling was intercepted by Makelele to Vincent’s March into the goal of AC Milan lasted about 30 seconds, so when Vincent ran into the goal and fished out the ball, he ran to the center of the court without looking back, and did not choose to celebrate the goal with the fans and teammates on the sidelines. AC Milan players had not recovered from this lost goal.
Baronio and Grandoni looked blankly at the goal in front of them. They couldn’t believe that one minute the team was still attacking, but how could they be countered by their opponents in a blink of an eye, and they were successfully pulled back by the other side!
At the same time, Ancelotti on the sidelines did not feel much worried about this goal at this time. In his view, the goal lost by the team was mainly caused by the formation being pressed too far ahead, so the players should be more careful in the back, and don’t easily give it to the opponent to steal and play a quick counterattack.
In addition, Ancelotti also asked the team to continue to make a big fuss about Kaka and Shevchenko’s offensive combination, and strive to expand the lead to two goals again, or more unexpected situations will lead to the loss of goals, which will make it difficult to establish a lead.
From this, we can see that Ancelotti’s ability to command on the spot is seriously insufficient. If it were Mourinho and Ferguson, they would have found that Florence had already focused on Kaka’s defense and made targeted arrangements according to the goal just conceded. For example, they took the opportunity to shift Kaka’s attack focus and stop changing Kaka’s attack breakthrough to Rebrov or Shevchenko and others, which would allow the Rossoneri Kaka to tear the Florence defense line and gain goals to expand the score, thus completely locking the game victory.
However, Carlo Ancelotti did not find the hidden crisis, but still Florence could not prevent her own attack, and Anpang’s negligence will soon make AC Milan pay the bill.
I would like to say here that although Benitez would like to dismiss Carlo Ancelotti as the head coach of AC Milan, there are not many famous coaches at home in European football. Even if there are, no one is interested in coaching in AC Milan. After all, Berlusconi likes to interfere with the head coach’s formation, but Europe is famous. Few famous coaches can stand such a boss.
Therefore, after Galliani thought twice, Ancelotti finally had to stay and didn’t end up being fired by the team at the end of the season.
Carlo Ancelotti didn’t move. As a result, only ten minutes after the previous goal was lost, AC Milan was hit hard again. baronio unexpectedly blocked the ball and was intercepted by Makelele. Florence immediately launched a quick counterattack. Vincent on the left divided by two, giving Cafu a clean pass to defend him and then accelerating the flat ball!
Defending back to the restricted area, Kaladze made a mistake in his busy work, and kicked the ball to Milito’s foot when he was cleared. Faced with such a big gift, the latter naturally accepted it and easily pushed the near corner of the goal to make the score two to two!
Seeing the two goals leading in just ten minutes, Ancelotti realized that the situation was not right. He tried to make adjustments to turn the situation around, but it was too late. He had already exerted momentum to Florence. Could it be easily done by his two adjustments on the spot? What’s more, being quickly equalized by the opponent in the situation of leading by two goals is also devastating to the morale of AC Milan
So in the next game, the morale was greatly damaged. AC Milan players were passively beaten at the scene and were beaten by Florence in the halfcourt. If someone only watched the game at this time, the two teams might be conducting a halfcourt attack and defense drill!
In the sixtysecond minute, after the continuous largescale transfer, the Florence players suddenly made a beautiful straightoblique insertion by Pirlo and Cristiano Ronaldo, which tore AC Milan as soon as the former transfer ball became a mess. After the latter cut into the restricted area, he immediately knocked back into the middle and attacked Ballack. It was an angry shot to lift his foot directly under the cover of Milito!
Unfortunately, in the later period, Florence’s players had some poor luck, and threatened to hit the door several times, either wide or hitting the goal post, which failed to further expand the lead, which also foreshadowed the final fate of Florence’s game.
Maybe Di didn’t want to see a tragedy at the San Siro Stadium, or Di’s old man wanted to take special care of a home team. Shortly after Ballack scored a goal, AC Milan made Buffon get the ball from the goal for the third time and tied the score to threethree!
In the 19th minute of the game, Rebrov broke into the penalty area with the ball and was accidentally knocked down by the defending Lucio. However, Shevchenko, who was in charge of the penalty, missed the goal at the scene and helped the team seal the victory penaltyBuffon accurately judged the shooting route of the Ukrainian nuclear warhead and held the ball firmly with a wonderful side kick!
Shevchenko missed this key penalty with his head in his hands. I can’t believe he shot this sure penalty and was saved by Buffon!
At the same time, the fans of AC Milan in the stands are even more disappointed than some extreme points. The fans hissed at Shevchenko. After all, if Shevchenko scored this penalty, AC Milan would have great hope to beat the opponent at home and score three points. Now that the game has entered the injury time stage, it is obviously much more difficult for AC Milan to score in Florence than to score the penalty just now.
In this way, at the end of the game on the spot, Florence fell behind two in this strong dialogue, and pulled three goals in the back, taking away a point in the unwilling eyes of AC Milan players and successfully retreating from the San Siro Stadium!
Chapter 139 The season is in progress (6)
Despite the unfavorable situation that Florence conceded two goals first, it stubbornly equalized the score to 33 to avoid a defeat at the San Siro Stadium. However, after the game, the Florence players were a little depressed and the visiting locker room was full of depression.
This situation is mainly due to the fact that Juventus, Florence’s biggest rival in the title race, won a small victory over Bologna at Dalala Stadium at the same time and successfully scored three points away from home!
In this way, after the first fifteen rounds of Serie A, the Bianconeri of Bologna once again pulled away from Florence by two points to lead the standings again!
With a strong competitor like Juventus exerting pressure, it seems that Florence’s road to defending the league this season is doomed to be no smooth road.
I have to say that Mourinho’s performance in the first season of Florence’s first team was still quite strong. At the beginning of the season, many main players such as Pirlo and Stada were not in the state of the European Cup in summer or albertini and other important rotation players chose to leave the team. The Portuguese were able to lead the team to win 13 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the 15th League and 5 wins and 1 draw in the 6th Champions Cup, and even defeated the ambitious Lazio to win an Italian Super Cup from the Biancocelesti!
Therefore, no matter how critical the fans and the media are, there is no way to make more demands on the Portuguese. After all, compared with trapattoni, who has nearly 30 years of coaching experience, Mourinho is only 41 years old this year. In the coach industry, he is too young to lead the team like those old foxes. Moreover, fans who are just as old as Mourinho and his translation background are slightly rational will not demand more from him in this situation.
The most important thing is that Mourinho learned from Heinz, Capello and other famous coaches for many years, and he knew that he should take care of the media instead of shooting around and making enemies like in previous lives. Therefore, the Italian media will not deliberately come to Mourinho at this time without reporting other news.
Three days later, they just returned to Florence from Milan and ushered in the first round of the Italian Cup at Frankie Stadium. Their opponent was the veteran Brescia Club.
With Guardiola, the core of the team, leaving Qatar this summer, and de goey, a 30yearold goalkeeper, slipping sharply after the new season, Brescia’s performance in the season can be said to be quite miserable, and he has directly fallen into the relegation zone since the new season, and there is no sign of getting out of this quagmire until now.
Although there are still promising new stars like Matuzalen and caracciolo in Brescia, almost all of these young players have encountered a new show wall during the season. The relegation of the French team is enough to help coach Mazzoni feel headache.
Brescia naturally has no mind to pursue any achievements in the Italian Cup. You know, with the implementation of Bosman Act and the deepening commercialization of Serie A, Serie A teams have performed strongly in Europe in recent years, and the singleseason video broadcast of Serie A has far surpassed the other three major leagues and reached a staggering number. Therefore, if Brescia is unfortunately relegated at the end of the season, they will earn less than 30 million euros per season just by watching this broadcast, and this result is obviously terrible for Brescia, who has already tasted a lot of benefits in Serie A.
Faced with this reality, Brescia should naturally concentrate on relegation rather than competing with Florence, an opponent who is several grades better than them, for a place in the top 16 of the Lausch Italian Cup.
So in the face of a substitute and a serious water release, Brescia also came off the bench to play Florence without much test. Viola easily won the game with a score of three to easily advance to the last 16 of the Italian Cup.
Then the following weekend, Fiorentina players ushered in their last official game at home before the winter break. This time, Viola played against newly promoted Machevo, and on the other side, Juventus played AC Milan at Alpi Stadium, which cost Fiorentina the title of league leader.
It seems that the butterfly effect is caused by Zhuang Ge’s crossing. Chievo, the world, fell into Serie B in the second season after performing the miracle of flying donkey. It was not until the season that Chievo returned to Serie A under the leadership of coach Mario Bei Leita. The completely different experience from previous lives made Chievo not as difficult as previous lives, and the weakness of lacking toplevel league experience was repeatedly exposed in the competition, which made the flying donkey lose many points in vain.
In the face of such an opponent who has done his best and has home court advantage, Florence naturally doesn’t make sense. Vincent and Cristiano Ronaldo formed two wings to completely suppress the opposing Chievo players, making the flying donkey’s best twowing Qi Fei tactics useless. At the same time, Milito’s shadowing in the restricted area, Ballack and Pirlo and others inserted shots, which also embarrassed Chievo players. Florence’s multilevel attack taught Chievo players who still played in Serie B these seasons a good lesson.
In the end, Milito scored a hat trick, Ballack and Cristiano Ronaldo each scored a goal, and the Fiorentina players won a 50 victory at Frankie Stadium, which brought a perfect end to their journey this year!
Shortly after the game, the Fiorentina players were packing their bags in the dressing room to enjoy the Christmas holiday all over the world, and they received another news that made them even more excitedJuventus was beaten in AC Milan at the Alpi Stadium and the Rossoneri drew in 90 minutes than they had to accept a draw at this critical moment!
