To be honest, when Mourinho saw the team repeatedly frustrated under Juventus' defense, Milito and others in the frontcourt could hardly get the opportunity to directly attack the Zebras' defense line, it was obviously impossible to say that Mourinho was not surprised at all.
You should know that since he was accidentally tied by Roma away, Mourinho has devoted most of his energy to this game with Juventus, and has done a very in-depth study of the Zebras after the opening of the new season, and has a very in-depth understanding of Juventus' tactical play. Therefore, before the start of this game, Mourinho was still very confident, believing that players can use Zebina as a breakthrough point like in the Italian Super Cup final to tear Juventus' defense.
However, what Mourinho did not expect was that the most powerful link in Fiorentina, the midfield iron triangle of Pirlo, Barack and Markle, would have the day when the midfielders of other teams were restricted by the midfielders of other teams! The worst thing is that the one who owns this set of super midfielders is not someone else, but Fiorentina's opponent in this game, the Zebra Legion Juventus!
"It's so difficult..." Seeing Pirlo's pass being intercepted by Juventus' midfielder in advance and failed to successfully hand it over to Vincent's feet on the left, Mourinho realized clearly that it was time to make changes. Otherwise, if the offensive end was too late to start the situation, there was no way to start Fiorentina's attempt to defeat Juventus in this game.
Although Mourinho had carefully analyzed the positive impact Vieira may have on Juventus when studying Juventus' game videos before the game, judging from the current situation, the improvement of the overall strength of this French iron waist on the Zebra Legion has obviously exceeded Mourinho's expectations.
Although after joining Juventus, Vieira could not take the lead in the midfield like when he was at Arsenal, and controlled the team's offensive and defensive rhythm alone, and had to allocate this part of the power to teammates such as Nedved, his excellent defensive prediction, the running range that can cover all areas between the two penalty areas of the court, and the top-level fill-up awareness made Juventus's defense line with many loopholes begin to become impregnable. Moreover, as time goes by and the tacit understanding between the players continues to increase, the Zebras' defense has become more and more stable and more impeccable.
Especially Zebina, who was originally regarded as the biggest weakness in the defense line by Juventus fans, after Vieira arrived, relying on the powerful running and replacement ability of these four midfielders, the French defender's performance was no longer as ups and downs as last season. In other words, even if Zebina had any tricks in the game, Vieira and others could go over to make up for defense as soon as possible to avoid being found by the opponent and tearing the entire defense line.
But if it were Brasi or Apia before, it would be different. If the two were brave, they would be brave. However, their personal abilities and defensive predictions were only second-rate, and they would find it difficult for them to play a huge positive role like Vieira. Whether they were allowed to make up for defense or left behind in the middle, they might not have the effect they should have, and they would also be another breakthrough for the opponent.
Since it was too early to end the first half, Mourinho did not adjust the team's tactics by substitution. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball to run to the sidelines and shouted loudly. After attracting the attention of the players, he made several gestures, conveying his tactical intentions to the Fiorentine players on the court.
Of course, Mourinho, who left the technical area without authorization, did not pay the price for his actions. Corina ran to the sidelines and warned him, asking the Portuguese not to leave the designated area without authorization. If Mourinho refused to go back immediately, he had to punish him according to the relevant rules.
For Corinna's warning, Mourinho quickly smiled and apologized to the famous whistle, saying that he had just crossed the line because he was too excited and had absolutely no intention of interfering with the game. Seeing that the purpose was achieved, Corinna also raised the board in her hand high and gently dropped it, making a verbal warning, and exposed this page without mentioning it.
Not to mention the Fiorentine player who received Mourinho's latest instructions and was about to take action. Juventus, after noticing Mourinho's actions on the sidelines, Trapatoni's heart suddenly stumbled, thinking to himself, did the Portuguese discover that there were some flaws in his tactics, so he was so excited?
It is not for the reason that Trapatoni is so cautious. After all, for all the coaches who have experienced the incident of Fiorentina's reversal of the championship last season, Mourinho can be regarded as an absolute dangerous person and must not be taken lightly at any time.
Therefore, out of caution, Trapatoni waved his hand and directed Juventus players to temporarily shrink the formation and stabilize the defense line. First, see what Fiorentina is doing, and then decide on the next action plan.
Logically speaking, Trapatoni's arrangement is not wrong and stable enough. But unfortunately, his opponent is Mourinho, a guy who always likes to play cards without reason.
In the 23rd minute of the game, after continuous passes from the midfield, Pirlo passed the ball to Lucio who was inserted from the rear, and the latter rushed directly into Juventus' penalty area without hesitation after getting the ball!
Seeing this, Juventus players immediately responded. They had suffered a big loss in the Italian Super Cup and practiced many ways to prevent Fiorentina's move. Nedved, who was closest, went up to defend Lucio in close combat so as not to really drive straight into the scene of a single ride of thousands of miles; Vieira and Emerson stared at Pirlo and Barack respectively, and while blocking the space for the opponent to shoot from a long shot, they also blocked Lucio's route to pass the ball to the two. At the same time, Kompany and others on the defense also watched the Fiorentina players in their defense zone.
There are many difficulties in the breakthrough route, the pass route is blocked again, and there is not enough room to hit the goal... In this way, the sudden attack by Fiorentina can basically be said to have ended in failure. In the eyes of Juventus players, Lucio, who was surrounded by a group, is already a meat on the chopping board, and it is only a matter of time for them to cook.
However, just when everyone thought that this sudden attack from Fiorentina would be futile, Lucio, under the interference of Nedved, barely took two more steps forward, kicked the ball towards the right side of the penalty area before losing control of the ball!
Tsk, I just want to have time to retreat to defend, this guy is really clever... While thinking about this, Vieira subconsciously looked in the direction of the ball.
Chapter completed!
