Chapter 1110 Focus Battle (End)

PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

Seeing that Fiorentina recovered a goal shortly after the second half, Cooper couldn't help but hesitate. He knew very well that after Stam put down the so-called top-level center-back, he took the initiative to drag the back center-back to wipe Lucio's butt, Fiorentina, who moved the overall formation back to compress the backfield space, had become quite stable on the defensive end, and his offense was greatly hindered. In this way, Inter Milan could only rely on the personal abilities of several players in the frontcourt on the offensive end. If he wanted to take the initiative on the court, he had to increase his offensive force.

After all, even top strikers such as Ronaldo and Vieri cannot be able to fight the opponent's entire defense every minute on the court by themselves. Most of the time, what they can do is to find opportunities with the support of their teammates and turn these opportunities into goals one by one. If they are really allowed to do everything on the offensive end, then it won't take long for these players to be exhausted. Vieri and Ronaldo's frequent injuries when playing for Inter Milan in their previous life are inseparable from this.

However, after hesitating for a while, the Argentine coach finally did not choose to use offense to suppress his opponent and seek an opportunity to expand the score. Instead, he waved his hand and decided to let the team shrink the formation and strengthen the defense, and maintain the current lead of this ball!

"What a decisive guy." Looking at Cooper who was standing on the sidelines and directing loudly, Heinx curled his lips disdainfully, "If it were me, it would be impossible for him to defend the ball at this time. After all, in football games, the advantage of a ball is the most unreliable lead."

That being said, there was no relaxed expression on Heinx's face. After all, no matter how he looked down on Cooper's conservatism, Fiorentina is still the side behind in the score. If he did not score in the next forty-five minutes, even if Heinx spoke after the game, he would not be able to cover up the fact that the team lost.

I have to say that Cooper made a rather wrong decision. If he did not choose to retreat across the board to maintain the lead, but continued to not give up a quick counterattack on the basis of a stable defense, then Fiorentina would still have some concerns when attacking; and now, with Crespo and Mutu retreating to their own half-time participation in defense, Fiorentina players obviously don't need to estimate these things, because even if Lucio and Stam turn slowly, they are easily seized by their opponents to make a breakthrough, and the Nerazzurri does not have an arrow character to fight back... Mutu and Crespo and others are all behind the midline!

As a result, the entire second half of the game almost became a half-court offensive and defensive drill between Fiorentina and Inter Milan. The home team desperately looked for loopholes in the opponent's defense line and the opportunity to equalize the score, and constantly created murderous intent; and the Inter Milan players who played away were not slacking off at all, and Thordo became the busiest person on the court in the second half!

Although Fiorentina created many good scoring opportunities in the second half under the planning of Deco and Albertini, she made no achievements under Tordo's brave performance and repeatedly missed goals. Inter Milan also escaped the fate of losing the city gate again and again.

However, as the game was about to enter the injury stoppage stage, that is, about the 88th minute, Cooper still paid the price for his conservative action: Lucio suddenly dribbled the ball forward after getting the ball in the backcourt. Dibiagio and Zanetti did not step forward to intercept it immediately under the restraint of Albertini and others. As a result, Lucio seized the opportunity and drove straight in and rushed into the area 30 meters away from Inter Milan's goal!

It was not until then that the danger that Zanetti and Dibiagio quickly stepped forward to try to intercept Lucio, but their actions were too late. The Brazilian central defender, who had extremely strong offensive desire, passed the ball to Deco's feet while Zanetti moved. The latter made a little adjustment after getting the ball, and then turned around and passed Cannavaro who was robbing, and then directly shot in the penalty area!

Deco's shot was a bit curved, and the ball flew quite fast, so Tordo, who had a high and low block in the entire second half, was out of reach this time, and could only watch the ball fly into the goal!

Two to two! As the game is about to end, Fiorentina finally returned to the same starting line as Inter Milan!

In this way, with the Jedi counterattack in the second half, Fiorentina, who was once behind two goals in the game, finally shook hands with Inter Milan and almost got a draw and a point, keeping the throne of the league leader!

Although he kept the top spot in the standings, this match exposed the shortcomings of Fiorentina in player configuration. That is, once Nesta is absent, the quality of Fiorentina's defense will decline by a whole level. Although the combination of Lucio and Stam is also very stable and found some tacit understanding in the game with Inter Milan, it is still not as safe as Nesta when he was on the court.

So, after the game, almost all head coaches of Serie A teams began to develop some confidence in defeating Fiorentina, which has won consecutive victories since the start of this season. After all, there are so many games in a season, Nesta will definitely not be able to start every game, so as long as they think of a countermeasure in advance, then when Nesta is absent, they can deal with Fiorentina more effectively.

Heinx was not idle either. He attended the press conference after the game and immediately contacted senior executives such as Zhuang Mingge and Antonioni by phone, requiring the team to introduce another substitute central defender in January next year, that is, during the winter transfer period, so that Nesta can also ensure the stability of the defense line when he rests.

However, Heinx's request was not approved immediately, mainly because in the second half, Stam's change allowed Zhuang Mingge and others to see the hope of letting the Dutch be the stand-in for Nesta, so they planned to wait and see how Stam's effect of dragging the back center back.

What's more, even if the three central defenders are unable to play, there are still Zivo and Sun Jihai in the Fiorentina formation to play guest roles. If Heinquez can reasonably allocate these resources, the position of the central defender can still be guaranteed.
