PS1: This is the update on Sunday, a little late. I hope that all book friends don’t care too much about the update time. I’ll guarantee that I will not stop updating...

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.

Just as the Fiorentine players were celebrating this unexpected goal on the sidelines, Lazio's side was dead silent at this time. All the Blue Eagles players were looking at their own door with incredible eyes, as if they had not yet accepted the reality that they had only taken five minutes to score by their opponents.

As for Mex, the culprit of the goal conceding, the French central defender wanted to find a crack in the ground to avoid people's doubts and blame. After all, if he hadn't been too troublesome at the time, causing the ball to suddenly change its line and hit Cech behind him off guard during the movement, then the goal concealed would have been impossible.

However, although many Lazio fans were complaining about Mex's extravagant behavior in the game at this time, they also understood in their hearts that the French were just doing bad things with kindness, so they would not blame him too much for conceding the goal.

What's more, after getting Mex, Lazio's defense line's improvement in defense quality can be said to be obvious to all. If Mex's efforts this season are denied just because such a thing is not even a mistake, and thus throw him into a doomed land, then which central defender dares to play in Lazio in the future?

For the defender group, fans often don’t remember how many goals they contributed or how many successful defenses they made, but they still remember the mistakes they made in the game, which is one of the most common phenomena in football. Therefore, even if fans do not understand and complain about Mex’s rash behavior after the game, Lazio’s senior management and Mancini will not throw this promising young central defender into the cold palace or abandon it for this reason.

Just when Lazio players were collectively silent because of this unexpected goal, Mancini on the sidelines also began to hesitate. Fiorentina's goal disrupted many of his deployments and arrangements before the game, and also made Lazio's leading advantage no longer as obvious as it was at the beginning. This made Mancini's heart a little doubt about whether the team will continue to implement a defensive counterattack strategy in the future.

Although he had expected Fiorentina's counterattack in this game before the game, Mancini never expected that Fiorentina would win back so quickly and rewrite the total score to one-to-two. This reality shocked Mancini, but also made the Italian young coach shake his tactical arrangement before the game. After all, if Fiorentina continued to maintain such an offensive momentum and scored again, then the leading advantage that Lazio had built in hard work in the first round would be completely gone!

If he changes his tactics, takes the initiative to attack in the next game, and fights against Fiorentina, who is eager to tie the total score, Mancini is also not very relieved. In Mancini's opinion, this will undoubtedly make Lazio's weaknesses on the defense line more obvious, and will also allow Milito, who is good at seizing opportunities, to get more shooting opportunities. This is not a scene he is willing to see.

After careful consideration, the idea of ​​defensive supremacy finally gained the upper hand in Mancini's brain. Young coach Lazio decided to maintain the status quo and let the team continue to find opportunities to play Fiorentina's counterattack. In Mancho's view, if the team still finds it difficult to open up the situation with counterattacks in the next game, it will not be too late for him to make adjustments.

So, after the game started again, the Lazio players continued to act as defensive and dealt with Fiorentina in their half. After getting the ball, everyone would almost immediately look for Ronaldo and Juli in the frontcourt, and launch a counterattack through these two players, thus threatening Fiorentina's goal.

"Stabilize the defense first and then consider the offense. This is a common problem for most Serie A head coaches, and Mancini is no exception." Mourinho said to Ferrara with some smugness. "I knew he would think about it this way, so the players would continue to attack after scoring the goal. If it were Zeman, the offensive madman, I think I would definitely not dare to do this. God knows what his team will make the game after playing out."

"However, we can play to this point, thanks to Barack's goal so early, Lazio is more afraid of our offense, further reducing the investment in counterattacks, allowing us to concentrate our forces to stare at Ronaldo and Juli, the two most threatening points. Otherwise, even Alessandro (Nesta) and Lucio would probably be difficult to defend successfully in one-on-one situations. Once they succeed in counterattack, our Champions League journey will end here." In Ferrara's eyes, Mourinho's move to let the team take the initiative to attack is still very risky. After all, these players in the frontcourt are quite capable of personal abilities. As long as there is a negligence on the defense line or a defensive failure, they will be able to kill Fiorentina.

"If you don't take any risks, how can we get back the unfavorable situation of falling behind two goals in the first round?" Mourinho glanced at Ferrara with some amusement and said, "You can't expect us to increase our strength to deal with the tortoise shell placed by Mancini while ensuring that the defense is as stable as before, right?"

Ferrara nodded when she heard this, and he felt that he was a little too pursuing perfection just now. Indeed, if he wanted to tie or even overtake the total score and win a ticket to Istanbul, Florence could only choose to attack in this game, and his investment on the defensive end would definitely be reduced. In this way, Mourinho's slightly risky decision seemed reasonable.

Since you will definitely be eliminated if you don’t attack, why not take a chance? This is the main reason why Mourinho asked the team to take the initiative in this game.

While Fiorentina's continuous offensives brought huge defensive pressure to Lazio, the spirit and will of the Blue Eagles players have been tense. Although they also want to use counterattacks to threaten their opponent's goal, making Fiorentina fearful when attacking, under the high-level pressing and running of Fiorentina players, Lazio's counterattack is often before he can play, and before Zi Lily can successfully steal the number of people in a small range...

So, when Milito scored with Vincent's cross in the penalty area and tied the total score to two to two, many Lazio players even breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure brought to them during this period was too strong, so that they who gave up the ball had to resist hard in the half, and they could not even hit the planned counterattack.
