Chapter 1176 Decisive Battle at Old Trafford (3)
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.
Fiorentina's unsuccessful quick counterattack set the tone of the whole game. The two teams that were both heavily in the midfield and backcourt will devote more energy to the midfield confrontation in the following time. Even if they occasionally seize the opportunity of the opponent's pass mistakes to make a counterattack once or twice, they are often destroyed by the opponent because they invest too little troops on the offensive end.
"Ha~" Groz covered his mouth and yawned a big yawn. After watching the game for so long, he didn't wait for a goal, and didn't even see a few shots. This is indeed a bit boring for an amateur fan. "Antonio, you're really right. I really should have someone bring some movies to relieve my boredom. This game is really boring."
"Haha..." Zhuang Mingge, who looked at Groz's lazy posture, had a feast for a while, smiled unscrupulously and said, "I told you that this game will make many non-professionals bored. After all, Lippi and Heinx are both masters of tactical design. They value defense very much and will not let the team act rashly on such critical occasions. So I think they originally planned to choose to defend and counterattack firmly at the beginning, and then make corresponding adjustments based on the opponent's tactics to master the initiative of the game. However, what they did not expect was that the opponent actually adopted the same game strategy as themselves, which is the key reason why this final was so dull."
"Although you did say it, I didn't expect them to play so conservatively." Hearing Zhuang Mingge's answer, Groz pursed his lips and said unhappily, "This is the final of the Champions League. It's so ugly that they are not afraid of fans complaining after the game."
"It is precisely because this is the final of the Champions League that everyone treats this way." Zhuang Mingge watched Barack and Nedved accidentally collided in order to compete for the ball. The two fell on the court and turned their backs, saying, "However, excluding the dullness of the scene, from a professional perspective, the technical and tactical content of this final is still very high. Whether we are Fiorentina or Juventus, we have all achieved the best form in this game, and the players completed their respective defensive tasks almost impeccable. If this were not the case, the game would have been decided long ago."
As Zhuang Mingge analyzed, the players on both sides did play in their best form tonight, building their respective defenses like iron walls, preventing Devieri, Trezege and others from helpless.
On Juventus, Juliano, Montero and others joined forces to withstand Vieri's impact. Although the latter's defiant power made them very hard to defend, Lippi's three central defenders' arrangement allows Montero and others to take turns to draw out two to guard Vieri, leaving behind a concentration to recover their strength.
Faced with Juventus' wheel tactics, Vieri could only grit his teeth and push his head according to Heinx's tactic arrangement before the game, and rely on his personal ability to attack the opponent's defense, rather than having a teammate around him to help him pull space when attacking.
Although many people think that Juventus is not able to cause much trouble to Florence in this Champions League final, Vieri, who has had many exchanges with Heinquez, knew in his heart that Juventus lost the league mainly because their bench depth is not as strong as Fiorentina. If we only talk about the main lineup, even if the Zebras, which have famous players such as Nedved and Trezeguet, they will never lose to Purple Lily.
Vieri was very convinced of Heinx's ability, so he obeyed the arrangements of the German coach and was willing to fight alone in the frontcourt. If it were someone else's arrangement, Vieri would have turned against him long ago. After all, this way of playing football will cause considerable damage to the player's body, and accidentally may even shorten the life of his career.
After staying in Florence for so many years, Vieri, who was influenced by experts such as Carter, has much richer knowledge in sports medicine than in his previous life, so he naturally pays more attention to physical care than in his previous life. This also shows that Heinx's position in Vieri's heart has reached the point where the latter can fight to the death regardless of his body and his opponent.
Let's look at Florence. Although their offensive routines were blocked by the opponent, Juventus players also did nothing under the defense of Florence players. Trezeguet only shot within the goal frame in the whole game. Nedved and Camoraneci spent most of their energy on confronting the Fiorentine midfielder and couldn't spend much effort on the offense.
Seeing that the players were in a stalemate on the court and the tactical adjustments made did not achieve much effect, the two head coaches began to deploy troops on the court, trying to change the situation in front of them through substitutions. However, these substitutions also did not play much positive role. Under the strict defense of both sides, the score on the court was still zero to zero, and no changes occurred.
In this way, when Merck sounded the whistle at the end of the ninety-minute game, Florence and Juventus exchanged blank sheets at Old Trafford Stadium, and had to enter the overtime stage where all teams love and hate!
You should know that the overtime stage of this Champions League final adopts the golden ball system, that is, as long as one side scores a goal in this half hour, the game can be declared over. The first goal will win the game and win the Big Ear Cup away!
Faced with this situation, neither Lippi nor Heinx dared to take risks. After all, head coaches like them who like to include the game under their control are most afraid of this situation where they have no room for a fight back once they make a mistake. Therefore, during the period before the start of overtime, the two head coaches issued the same order to the players, that is, to concentrate their efforts to defend their half in overtime, and not give their opponents the chance to break into the 30-meter area away from the goal!
