On December 4, 2005, there was a lot of people inside and outside the Frankie Stadium. Not to mention the one-sided situation outside the field, in the stands, Fiorentine fans also rely on their number and geographical advantages to compress more than 3,000 Juventus fans from afar and drown their cheers, completely turning the entire stadium into a purple ocean!
Although Juventus played away games in this game, in fact, there were not many Juventus fans who came to Fiorentina to assist, and at least tens of thousands of people. However, because the tickets for the game were bought out by Fiorentina fans who were prepared, only the more than 3,000 tickets required by the Football Association to leave for away fans, most of the Zebras supporters did not get the opportunity to enter the court to watch the game, which made the atmosphere on the court completely controlled by Fiorentina fans!
Although the unwilling Juventus fans made a counterattack, unfortunately, they are weak and difficult to turn the situation back, and they can only let the Fiorentine fans show off their power in front of them, or have some verbal disputes with the other party that are irrelevant to the overall situation.
In sharp contrast to the lively scene of fans on both sides in the stands, the atmosphere in the home team's locker room seemed a little solemn at this time. The Fiorentine players sat around Mourinho and listened carefully to the last pre-match mobilization made by the opponent before the game began: "Guys, we had a very wonderful start this season, withstood the strong pressure from Juventus behind us, and used a series of consecutive victories and more goals to suppress the opponent in the second place. However, all this effort has been wasted with our unexpected draw."
Hearing Mourinho's words, many players present lowered their heads in shame. If Lazio, a small loss in the away game in the seventh round of the league, could be attributed to being dragged down by the national team's matches and having a defeat before he recovered, then the draw with Roma in the last round of the league was really unreasonable. After all, Roma was no longer the champion team at that time. With the aging of the main players and the tight monetary roots of the Sensi family, he had to reduce his capital investment. The Red Wolf began to pay off his debts for his big moves in the transfer market a few years ago. In terms of hard strength, it was impossible to resist the offensive of Fiorentina.
However, the result was that after taking the lead, Fiorentina was overly relaxed, giving Roma players a chance to breathe, resulting in the team giving a penalty at the last moment while leading the halfway point, and finally ending with a draw with great regret.
It is precisely because of this draw that Fiorentina, which had originally beat Juventus with the advantage of scoring many goals, was once again widened by the Zebras and slipped to the second place in the standings.
"...So, we must learn from the lessons of the last game, be sure to be twelve points, and we must not be careless in the game!" Just as Fiorentine players were reflecting on the mistakes they made in the game against Roma, Mourinho strengthened his tone and turned his attention to Lucio, who was bowing his head and silently. "Lucio, the task I arranged for you today will be very heavy. Not only should I keep a close eye on the Swedes on the offensive end, but I also have to contribute to the team on the offensive end! I just don't know, do you have the confidence to complete this task? If you don't have the confidence to complete this task, please tell me now, and I can make adjustments as soon as possible."
The reason why Mourinho took special care of Lucio in this pre-match mobilization was mainly because he gave the Red Wolves a key penalty in the game against Roma, which led to the team's upcoming three-pointer becoming one point at the last moment. Therefore, in order to dispel Lucio's concerns, Mourinho had to use a provocation method to make him forget his previous mistakes and put his mind on the current game.
"What's this? Boss, just watch my performance on the sidelines!" Lucio, who was stimulated by Mourinho's words, immediately stood up and shouted loudly, "What's this task? Don't say that I have to take into account the offense when defending Ibrahimovic. Even if I let me deal with Juventus' entire attack line alone, there is no problem!"
Regarding Lucio's statement, Nesta and Pirlo and other locker rooms just raised their eyebrows and did not express any dissatisfaction because of his words. Because they both knew in their hearts that Lucio, who was prone to impulsive, never had the idea of robbing the shift and seizing power. Many times his actions were emotional, so the two of them naturally would not feel dissatisfied with some of the Brazilians' words and actions.
Now let me introduce the starting list of the two teams in this game. For Juventus, Trapatoni sent out the strongest lineup in his hands without any warning. Frey, Zebina, Turam, Kompani, Grosso, Camoranesi, Vieira, Emerson, Nedved, Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic. Juventus' starting lineup can be said to be both offensive and defensive. The most important thing is that after having Ibrahimovic and Vieira, the Zebras' original criticized creativity and control of the game have also improved a lot!
Moreover, compared with the first confrontation between the two sides in the Italian Super Cup this season, the Zebras, who got Vieira, have improved the hardness and defensive level of the midfield. This is also an important guarantee for Trapatoni to lead the team to firmly grasp Fiorentina in the standings and successfully overtake after the last round of the league. It is also the biggest reliance of the gold medal coach to avenge his previous shame in this game!
In Trapatoni's eyes, the most powerful part of Fiorentina is not their seemingly powerful offensive trident, nor the defense line that was praised by the media and fans as the "world's No. 1 defense line", but this midfield combination with both offense and defense! Therefore, as long as Fiorentina's midfield can be suppressed, the probability of Juventus winning this duel will undoubtedly increase a lot.
Chapter completed!
