After talking about Fiorentina's lineup, let's take a look at the eleven starting players of Inter Milan.

In this game, Cooper still ranked the 442 formation he used most frequently. The goalkeeper was Francisco Toldo, and the four defenders were Coco, Cannavaro, Matrazi and Zanetti in turn from left to right; in the midfield, Dibiagio and Zanetti formed a double midfielder, Turkish new star Emre and Portuguese fast Maconsicao respectively played the left and right wing forwards; on the forward line, there was a combination of Argentina's top center Hernan Crespo and Romanian Adrian Mutu.

From this starting list, it can be seen that Cooper still continued his cautious and conservative style in this game. Although this Argentine coach, who is famous for his defensive counterattack, made Inter Milan one of the best defensive teams in Europe on the one hand, his iron-blooded defensive style is also an important reason why the Nerazzurri was able to win the league last season; but from another perspective, Cooper's overly conservative tactical style makes Inter Milan rely too much on the individual performance of the players on the offensive end. Once he encounters teams with a sufficiently rigorous defensive system and comparable strength, such as AC Milan and Juventus, he can only rely on players to fight alone in the frontcourt. Inter Milan, which lacks tactical changes, will often fall into a difficult situation.

However, although there are such shortcomings on the offensive end, Inter Milan players played a very smooth offensive in this game. Emre and Consicao and others repeatedly launched attacks from both wings, constantly attacking Fiorentina through the wings, and transporting shells for Crespo, who was ambushing in the penalty area for murderous intent; the Argentine center still performed well under the repeated guards of Stam and Lucio. He kept running in the penalty area and caused huge trouble for Fiorentina's defense.

Although Crespo and Emre performed well in this game, among all the midfield players in Inter Milan, the one who performed the most eye-catching is Adrian Mutu. The Romanian connected the Nerazzurri's frontcourt offense well in the middle. His existence made Inter Milan's offensive no longer as scattered as before, but was organically combined into a whole. The precise large-scale transfer and sharp breakthroughs in the middle made Fiorentina's originally strict defensive system have many loopholes, creating many good scoring opportunities for teammates and themselves.

On the other hand, in Fiorentina, although Lucio, Stam and others tried their best in defense and did not slacke in the game, Nesta's absence made the gap behind them an area that Inter Milan can make it a huge loophole in Fiorentina's defensive system!

In this game, Nesta's importance to Fiorentina's defensive system was fully revealed. Although the middle defense line formed by Lucio and Stam is strong enough, their defensive styles are both more favorable. The result of their starting partner together is that the weakness of the two's lack of ability to fill up is infinitely magnified under the impact of Crespo and Mutu!

Although Lucio and Stam still performed well in man-game and top-snatch, in the absence of Nesta, the stabilizing needle on the defense line, Fiorentina's defense line was repeatedly broken through by Inter Milan, and dangerous situations emerged in front of the goal.

"I miscalculated it. Lucio and Stam shouldn't have started at the same time." Seeing Mutu turn around and break through Lucio's defense, Heinx almost felt a little regretful. "Lucio and Stam's head-on ability is indeed the world's top, but their ability to protect themselves behind them is seriously insufficient, and their awareness of filling up is quite average. If this combination encounters some not-so-strong opponents, it will not reveal so many problems. But once they encounter strikers like Crespo and Mutu have excellent ability to seize opportunities, their weakness will be very fatal."

Although he had realized that he had made a mistake in the arrangement of the team in this game, Heinx could not think of any effective countermeasures. After all, there were only three genuine central defenders in the first team of Fiorentina this season. Nesta, who was resting in this game, did not even make the 18-man roster. Heinx wanted to adjust the lineup and was unable to cook without a meal.

Although both Zivo and Sun Jihai can play guest roles in central defenders, Zivo must be on the left when Carlos is on the back, so that only Sun Jihai will be the only player who can play guest roles in central defenders. In this level of game, Heinx naturally cannot send Sun Jihai to play. After all, in the eyes of the Germans, the strength of this substitute defender is too different from Crespo and the others. If he is allowed to play, then Fiorentina's defense will have to be sieve by Mutu and the others.

"It seems that this problem can only be solved after the winter transfer gate is opened." Thinking of this, Heinx's expression on his face at the stadium became much more serious. "If you can't find a qualified substitute for Nesta, it will probably be difficult to achieve good results on all three fronts with three genuine central defenders alone."

Just as Heinx was considering the winter reinforcement, the score on the field had changed: in the 31st minute of the first half, Sanetti sent a straight pass to Consicao under the pressure of Dinatale. After getting the ball, the latter accelerated and passed Zivo cleanly, and then immediately passed the cross from the middle. Crespo, who followed up, leaned on Lucio and shot directly. The ball flew into the goal with a fingertip, one-to-zero!

After seeing the referee signaling to score a goal, Crespo yelled excitedly, waved the headband on his head vigorously, and ran to the stands where Inter Milan fans gathered to celebrate the goal with the fans!

Because Vieri failed to join Inter Milan in this life as in history, Crespo was able to firmly take the position of the main center of the Nerazzurri, instead of competing with another powerful center to share playing time, his condition is naturally much more stable than in his previous life, and it also makes the defenders feel more troubled - after all, a forward like Crespo, who has a strong body and a good shooting skill, can be said to be a nightmare for any defense line!

Just five minutes after the first goal, the Argentine center dribbled the ball past Stam who was defending him, and then pushed the ball before Buffon made an attack and blocked it, breaking the goal of Fiorentina again!
