Now it seems that it is better to expect opponents to make mistakes at this juncture than to play every game well by themselves and take all the points to keep the four-point lead firmly until the end of the season. Perhaps this is more reliable.
After successfully passing through Lazio, the next race is definitely the most important time of the season for Florence.
On March 24th, Fiorentina played Juventus at home in the 27th round of Serie A;
On March 31, the second round of Serie A, Florence away against the Nerazzurri;
Three days after this game, Florence will usher in the first leg of the semi-final of the Italian Cup. The opponent is AC Milan, Florence’s biggest competitor in defending the league title. A week later, Florence will welcome the second leg of the two sides. The results of these two games will determine whether Florence can get tickets for the Italian Cup final this season.
In these two rounds, Florence will play its 29th league match on April 6th against Padova, who is struggling in the relegation quagmire.
In a short period of half a month, Florence will play a total of five games, four of which are against the top three in the North. The only game is against the weak team or the goal of relegation. Padova is currently at the bottom of the list. They will not be satisfied with a draw like they met Barry before, and they need more points to catch up with the relegation opponents. They must fight hard with Florence.
Five fierce battles in a row in half a month, so the schedule is not terrible. Now Ranieri is quite glad in his heart that the old Italian national team coach Sacchi prefers to transfer the habit of international players from AC Milan and Parma, otherwise it will be even more sad if FIFA virus attacks Florence.
……
Juventus coach Lippi is very upset now.
The reason why Marcello Lippi, who has always been calm and calm, is upset is very simple: Silver Fox has found that the top management of Juventus Club is dissatisfied with his coaching achievements; To put it bluntly, some of the Big Three don’t believe that he is the one who can lead Juventus back to the top of Serie A.
Lippi suffered a letter crisis?
It is no wonder that this phenomenon will occur. After all, without Zhuang Ge, the Colombian butterfly would have entered the first peak of his personal coaching career in recent years, and the honors of winning the Serie A championship and the European Champions Cup for three consecutive years would be shrouded in his head.
However, the arrival of Zhuang Ge changed everything. First of all, Juventus’ third-line battle in foreign battlefields was drilled by his hand Florence, which occupied a great advantage in the league. The good game was lost to the weak team in the sprint stage, and the Viola came from behind and was forcibly taken away by the other side. The club has been waiting until its eyes are red!
What’s even worse is that Florence won the Winner’s Cup and the League Championship as a newly promoted player at the end of the season, while Lippi coached Juventus and finally won the UEFA Cup. By comparison, the top management of Juventus will certainly be dissatisfied with Lippi’s performance, but for Moggi’s old fox to persuade Giraudo, Silver Fox would have been dismissed last summer.
After losing the Serie A championship, the Bianconeri were naturally ineligible to participate in the European Champions Cup last season, and they can continue to participate in the UEFA Cup as champions. Although they still reached the semi-final of the UEFA Cup and ranked third in the league, it is no wonder that Juventus executives are unbalanced when they look at Florence, who could have played a soy sauce role behind them.
The most important thing is that the big three of Juve are all people who value the achievements of the national league over the European war. They can tolerate that Juve have not won the championship in the European war for many years, but they will never tolerate that Lippi will win the UEFA Cup in the season and lead the team to stay in the top three in the season, but he still cannot sit on the position of coach of the Bianconeri.
After all, Juventus is still fighting for the top spot in Florence at this time of the season, but the fact that Juventus was far behind by Viola from the middle of the season really stung the big three of Juventus. You know, Juventus won the most in Serie A this year, and it has not tasted the league title for ten years!
Although Moggi, the master of the team, still expressed his support for Lippi in public, who knows that this is not the smoke bomb released by Mo Lao Fox? Want to know that Moggi, who just took over as general manager of Juventus when Lippi coached trapattoni, is also the result of this argument? The famous trapp announced his resignation by the end of the season!
Lippi dare not pin his fate on Mogina’s last few sympathies. In his opinion, he can only prove that his coaching ability is not better than that Ranieri spread by playing against Florence on March 24, so as to dispel high-level doubts to a certain extent and keep his handsome position at the end of the season!
Now what Lippi needs most is to make the team what he wants when he needs enough!
And the best way for the club to continue to give it to him is to beat the opponent in direct dialogue with Florence!
However, the ideal is that the beautiful reality is that it is cruel to face Florence, which has been recuperating for a week, especially when Florence is quite neat (effenberg is still suspended). Lippi’s "weakening" Juventus still seems to have some heart.
Despite being awarded the first goal by Juventus fans by Golden Boy Del pierrot in the 15th minute, Florence still reversed the Bianconeri at home with goals from filippo inzaghi and Ronaldo to score three points!
Chapter 2 unreliable great boss
Zhuang Ge won’t care what fate Lippi will encounter after losing this game. After all, it seems to him that he has repeatedly made small moves behind his back to try to crack down on Florence and Juventus. The Big Three are his 100% sworn enemies, so Juventus coach Lippi’s life and death are naturally out of his heart.
No, or if Lippi is really fired, Zhuang Ge will be the one who cares the most. After all, a team of this style in Juventus can’t just bring a head coach to take care of Lippi. It can be said that it is the most suitable team-building style for Juventus at present. Has the head coach lost Lippi? Ha ha…
In Florence, it was thrilling to win Juventus, and AC Milan didn’t stop winning. After all, they have been eliminated from the UEFA Cup by Bordeaux, a French team. Their remaining national competitions can compete for the Italian Cup. For AC Milan players whose honor books are full, they naturally won’t receive special attention, so now they have one goal, that is, to try their best to win the Serie A championship at the end of the season!
Therefore, although AC Milan’s opponent in the 27th round is the powerful Parma team, after all, the latter is still distracted by the fact that the Cup Winners’ Cup has reached the semi-finals. Naturally, they will not give up fighting for this honor, but they are a little worried about the fact that they have fallen behind a lot in the league battlefield. After all, there is no hope for them to compete for a Champions League place now, but the UEFA Cup place is certain. Naturally, they will focus on the more important Cup Winners’ Cup.
It is precisely because of this that AC Milan did their best to beat Parma out of the water in the game, scored three points smoothly and continued to chase Florence, which ranked first.
Seeing that AC Milan is still hanging around not far behind them, Florence players naturally dare not relax and prepare for a game actively.
On the last day of March, Florence ushered in the 20th round of Serie A, and has been in a state of turmoil since it experienced a coaching change in the middle. Inter Milan Ranieri did not choose to show mercy. After all, at this juncture, he did not have the luxury to sympathize with others. If he stayed ahead for more than half a season, AC Milan would turn his head and his company would surely spare him.
However, considering that Florence still has a first leg match against AC Milan in three days, the tinker has made a certain rotation.
The goalkeeper is still toldo, who has grown rapidly after being baptized by the top league in the past two years. toldo has a new generation of Italian top goalkeepers.
The defensive lines are fortunato, Lala, Starr and Zambrotta from left to right. This is mainly because Inter Milan Blanca and Guntz are both point-grabbing strikers. Experienced Lala is naturally the best choice, while young and strong Starr can just deal with Nigerian Kanu.
In midfield, effenberg finally lifted the ban and came back after sitting in the lunar prison for more than a month. Ranieri naturally wrote the team’s vice-captain to let him look for a formal game. It felt that behind him, Tacchinardi and Davis, two players, Dibiagio, got a break.
Ranieri, the striker, unexpectedly discharged three strikers. The center is naturally the captain batistuta, and on both sides of him are Brazilian Ronaldo and Roberto Baggio. These two players can suddenly score goals, which can give full play to batistuta’s advantages, help the Argentines to cover and hit the opponent’s goal directly, and can also pretend to break through the assists sent by others after the draw. Although Florence sent three strikers in the starting lineup, their positions are not in conflict.
After Bianchi voluntarily announced his resignation, Moratti quickly found a new coach for the Nerazzurri, that is, Englishman roy hodgson, and Moratti took a fancy to Hodgson for a simple reason, that is, this Englishman led Switzerland to the finals of the 1994 World Cup in the United States and this year’s European Cup in England, especially the World Cup in the United States. He led a weak Switzerland to the World Cup, which made a great boss think that he could lead the revival of Inter Milan. It took a lot of money for the British coach to terminate his contract with the Swiss national team and bring the British coach to the World Cup.
However, after coming to Inter Milan, Hodgson’s achievements were somewhat disappointing. Although Inter Milan did not sign in winter for various reasons, their existing players should not stay in the seventh place in the league. Such achievements also made a pair of bosses who had high hopes from the British coach dissatisfied.
Because Moratti and Zhuang Ge have a very good personal friendship, when Zhuang Ge visited Milan with the team, Moratti personally welcomed Zhuang Ge to a high-level box in the Meazza Stadium. The boss seemed to be planning to watch the game with Zhuang Ge in this room.
However, Zhuang Ge didn’t expect that it was Mo Da’s boss who said to himself bluntly this time, "There are so many excellent players in the team, but why can’t we always find a reliable head coach?"
Hey, hey, this is a club president. Should he comment on his team manager? Zhuang Ge was a little embarrassed to think that, after all, the stability of the team and the cohesion of the players are generally improved. Even if the bosses are unhappy with the coach, they will not express their dissatisfaction with the team coach in public unless the coach has taken the team to the relegation zone or the team has set a goal far from it.
"Ha ha Massimo, think about how many games Hodgson has coached Inter Milan. It is not easy to get such a result now. After all, it is inevitable for a coach to take over a team with low morale halfway, and it is difficult to get unsatisfactory results …" Zhuang Ge was sitting in the VIP box of Meazza Stadium when he heard the great boss’s remarks. He shook his head a little funny. There is still a long way to go to become a qualified club president Moratti …
However, it is precisely because of Moratti’s personality that he likes anger and looks fresh that he will stay so close to him, right?
Chapter 21 Fight Inter Milan (1)
"But at present, our Inter Milan’s player configuration should crush some weak teams even if the tactical play is chaotic!" After listening to Zhuang Ge’s explanation, Moratti still said some angrily
"Hey, hey, Massimo, how on earth do you think Inter Milan is strong enough to crush all the midstream teams?" Zhuang Gehao once again corrected Moratti’s wrong attitude of valuing fame over strength. "Look at you spending a lot of money to introduce these players. paul ince has never been that super midfielder since he left Manchester; Lambertgen, known as the genius, has never played a good game; Roberto Carlos is not as good at guarding the left as before; Nigerian Kanu’s performance is also unsatisfactory; With Blanca, Gonz and Sadie, it’s a few reliable signings. Massimo, can’t you change your habit of wanting to buy stars as soon as you see them? Listen to the opinions of those professionals in the club? "
"This, this …" Moratti was scolded by Zhuang Ge. At this time, he was also a little depressed. After all, his starting point was that he hoped to reproduce the "big international era" as soon as possible by introducing a large number of famous stars. However, there is an old saying that more haste makes less speed. Moratti introduced a large number of stars in the center and frontcourt at any cost, which destroyed the balance of the original team department. What’s more, the signing of Inter Milan depends on the personal preference of the boss. Therefore, the introduction of many players is not in line with the idea of building a team or is famous but the state
The contest with Florence once again proved that Moratti’s vision of players really needs to be improved, and Ince is still flying on the court. Strictly restricted by the head coach, Roberto Carlos’ sharp attack in France suppressed the opponent’s position. His weaknesses were exposed at a glance and were repeatedly broken by Zambrotta, who was four years younger than him. And Kanu, who is 1.97 meters tall, prefers to move far away from the restricted area than Branca and Gunz, who are 1.74 meters tall. The dilemma of Inter Milan’s lack of high points in the restricted area makes Hodgson’s plan for two wings Qi Fei not effectively implemented.
Therefore, after the game, Florence’s anti-customer quickly occupied the initiative and repeatedly launched an impact on the Inter Milan defense line.
In the 14th minute, effenberg directly took the ball to the frontcourt, batistuta, and then returned to be Ronaldo. Then he shot the ball and flew to the goal, but pagliuca bent down and held it in his arms.
In the 19th minute, Roberto Baggio pulled to the edge of the penalty area and caught the ball from effenberg. Then, before the old acquaintance Bergomi forced him, he lifted his foot and made a long-range shot, and the ball was saved by pagliuca again.
"It seems that pagliuca is in good condition," thought Zhuang Ge, touching Ba.
However, Zhuang Ge is not in a hurry. After all, you can’t always expect to score goals in every attack. Otherwise, Florence can score goals in double digits in every game. In most cases, it is a process of accumulation and accumulation to score goals in football matches. Now it seems that Florence’s ability to create scoring opportunities is much better than that of Inter Milan. Even if pagliuca is in a good state, Florence will get the lead sooner or later.
