Zaragoza players like Florence, who have not participated in several European games, have rarely seen anyone encounter this level of defense for the first time.
Active running, a lot of physical contact, fierce fouls … all these make the paranoid pursuit of attacking Spaniards quite uncomfortable.
So after the game, the rhythm of Florence’s first goal was repeated-Zaragoza’s offensive ball was intercepted by Florence to fight back …
……
In the 21st minute of the game, Zaragoza tried to penetrate short from the middle again, but the whole field flew. crippa shoveled the Aragon ball halfway, and the ball bounced not far away. effenberg got the ball and Florence launched a counterattack again!
Effenberg looked up and took one look at the front djorkaeff position directly rub out a top length!
However, it is a pity that Florence’s counterattack was intercepted by Zaragoza midfielder Poyet. In this attack, Poyet was a step slower than his teammates and rushed to Florence’s half-court, but just in front of the team’s back line, so he interrupted Florence’s counterattack when he saw the ball flying towards the back court and relied on his height advantage.
Poyet was very depressed in the game. Zaragoza, the only one of the four midfielders present, was physically different from the Fiorentina players. He wanted to let the Fiorentina players know that he was good, but he didn’t expect Fiorentina roots to attack from the middle, just chasing Cafu and then cutting into the restricted area or shooting from there.
"Damn Italians," Poyet cursed himself in his heart. The core of Zaragoza field organization also felt this kind of mouth feeling when facing the Florence defensive line. "In this case, it’s good to wait until the coach changes tactics at halftime …"
So in Poyet, Zaragoza organized and directed him to retreat slowly and played the control ball in his own half. Occasionally, he explored Florence’s half several times and found that there was an opportunity. Then he quickly retreated to his own half and played ball practice.
"Holy cow, isn’t this Barcelona’s favorite trick later?" Zhuang Ge was shocked when he saw Zaragoza playing ball in his backcourt. Which Barcelona fan crossed to Zaragoza?
Later, after watching Zhuang Ge carefully for a while, it was discovered that Zaragoza’s adoption of this tactic was a negative attitude towards the game, instead of constantly using the ball to pull the Florence defense line to equalize the score, so that he could completely rest assured to continue watching the game.
In this way, when there were more than twenty minutes left in the half-court, it was quickly spent in a stalemate between the two sides.
"It was a boring game. Zaragoza was afraid of losing the ball again after being counterattacked by Florence for several times, which benefited her technical advantage. She played ball drills in the square half, and it was not good to press the opponent’s half to grab the ball. Florence would be exhausted to watch her opponent’s half." The TV commentator also felt that Zaragoza had really said goodbye and played. You are still behind now! Even if you can control the ball again and don’t score quickly, Florence will win the championship in the end!
"Zaragoza’s field tactics prove that their tactics are effective for Florence, but it is very likely that they will be completely collapsed by opponents’ repeated counterattacks. From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with Poyet, the core of Zaragoza’s midfield." At this moment, michael laudrup, a guest, is actually Zaragoza’s "negative game" move. "Let’s see what changes the head coaches of both sides will make to the team’s tactics at halftime! After all, the advantage of a ball is the least safe, and one may easily be turned over by the opponent. "
"Michelle, if you were the coach of Zaragoza, what kind of tactical adjustment would you make?"
"Well, I think I’ll let Poyet hit the Fiorentina goal with more long-range shots, let Esned wander around the Fiorentina defence and, most importantly, liberate Cafu."
"Cafu is Zaragoza’s parallel right back?"
"Yes, but he is not a parallel product. His poor performance is more because coach Zaragoza has positioned him wrongly. His talent is attacking rather than defending."
……
Fiorentina scored a goal at half-time. In the stadium, Florence fans shouted, trying to expand the score and made some adjustments. Zaragoza also gave up the passive tactics at half-time, and bravely struggled with Fiorentina at half-time.
"Zaragoza’s desire to attack can certainly increase the pressure on Florence’s defense, but their own defense will also become bigger … Now it depends on which side can take the lead in scoring the second goal in Pisa. If it is Zaragoza, there are still some suspense in the game; If it’s Florence, then the game can stop here. "The experienced commentator of Sky TV made such a judgment on the situation.
There is nothing wrong with his judgment.
After Florence’s first attack was successfully defended by Zaragoza, Zaragoza immediately launched a counterattack. Poyet and Naeem played wonderful cuts on the right and cooperated with Florence to recover the defense!
Victor Hernandez chose to let Poyet take part in the attack more directly during the intermission. Although this tactic is risky, it is the most likely tactic for Zaragoza, who is one goal behind. After all, Esned, the main striker of the team, was completely submerged in the "forest" of Florence at half time (Esned is 165m meters tall).
When effenberg and crippa retreated, Florence kept steady at the front of the restricted area. After several passes, Zaragoza saw that there was no good way to give the ball to Naeem, hoping to create opportunities through his flank breakthrough.
As a result … 3-year-old Naeem is about to be lost by Lana again!
There was a big piece in the backcourt. When Zaragoza couldn’t stop Florence from fighting back again this time, the ball was pushed by filippo inzaghi and assisted by batistuta.
"The Argentine God of War drew Cederen out of the small restricted area with the ball, and then Batty’s private ball helped Florence expand its lead! 2-0! I can now assert that the winner of the season winners cup will come from Florence, Italy! Zaragoza fought back in front of them! "
Chapter 14 Champion moment!
"In the Serie A season, batistuta’s partner filippo inzaghi scored a total of 13 league goals, which is quite outstanding for a young striker who is only 22 years old. Now Inzaghi is also a minor star in Italy. This goal in the Cup Winners’ Cup final tonight is enough to raise Inzaghi’s reputation to a new level!"
This is the influence of match attention on players’ fame. In general, even if you play well, you may not be famous. But if you score a goal in a high-profile game, your fame will rise several times-just like in the 1999 World Cup, schillaci’s fame was limited to Italy. He paid attention to Italy’s World Cup and made him a star directly.
Although the attraction and popularity of the Winners Cup final is not as great as that of the World Cup, the popularity of Inzaghi will increase a lot after the game.
After scoring the opponent’s two goals, Fiorentina players’ game mentality became more relaxed, and at the same time, they immediately expanded the score after half-time, which made their self-confidence burst, making Fiorentina more fierce in midfield and more determined in implementing Ranieri’s layout tactics!
Zaragoza is still trying to regain the passive situation, but Florence’s strong midfield advantage allows them to organize an effective attack through the midfield smoothly. If he gives up the short and turns directly into a long attack, Esned, who is short, will definitely not be able to compete with Lala and Felicano in the header. At the same time, Florence protects the square penalty area quite well, which makes Zaragoza’s two strikers Farley move to get a chance to shoot. Therefore, Zaragoza can choose to fight hard with Florence in the midfield, hoping to spell out an opportunity.
