To be honest, although I know the team's current weaknesses and weaknesses, Lippi still had a faint hope in his heart before the finals began. I pray that Mourinho will be more proud and not pay attention to Lazio's lack of physical reserves. It is best to launch a fierce attack at the beginning of the game so that they can have the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack.
In Lippi's vision, as long as Lazio can seize the opportunity of Fiorentina's start-up attack and make a quick counterattack while the physical fitness is still sufficient, the team can control the rhythm of the game in their hands.
However, judging from the current situation, the thing Lippi was most worried about before the game happened unexpectedly. Mourinho, a guy who was extremely realistic, was simply a master who didn't see a rabbit or a hawk. If he didn't drag Lazio down first, he would never easily throw heavy troops into the attack, and he did not have the problem of underestimating the enemy, giving the opponent the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
So, the Silver Fox, who failed to gambling, had to use his brain to think about how to get the team out of the current predicament. After all, although the results of leading the team to the Champions League final in the first season after taking Lazio's coaching stick were indeed amazing, Lippi also knew that if the team lost too badly in this final, Abu, who could not bear face, would definitely vent his anger on his head. Therefore, even for his own job, Lippi should think of some countermeasures as soon as possible so that the team's situation on the court should not become so passive and ugly.
Being able to get the nickname Silver Fox itself shows that Lippi is a very resourceful and well-trained head coach, so it didn't take long to come up with several countermeasures. After weighing the pros and cons, Lippi quickly made a decision - it has been nearly thirty minutes since the start of the game. If he doesn't make a decision, then Lazio, who has shown signs of fatigue, will be really taken away by Fiorentina.
"Haha, let Drogba retreat to the midfield, and at the same time, let Essin expand the defense area and share the defensive tasks of Stankovic and Deco, so as to reduce the defensive pressure in the midfield? Lippi really made a good move." Mourinho first praised Lippi's response, and then changed the subject, "However, it's useless to do this. Angelo (Dilivio), told Andre (Pirlo) that he would launch more attacks from both wings next. I want to see, relying solely on Essin and Drogba, how can he fill the hole where the other four people are not defending well!"
Unlike other Lazio players, Drogba and Essin have excellent physical fitness and physical fitness, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a super bug in the football world. This is seen from the former being called "Warcraft" by the media and fans, while the latter having the physical fitness that can play a Serie A game a day. Therefore, it is reasonable for Lippi to arrange for them to plug the defensive loopholes exposed by Stankovic, Deco and others.
However, Lippi obviously did not expect that Mourinho's on-the-spot adjustment speed was no slower than him. Almost two minutes after his adjustment, Fiorentina changed its playing style that penetrated layer by layer from the middle lane, and instead began to launch an offensive from both sides, and at the same time, it was supplemented by a large-scale transfer to deal with Lazio!
Can you not change your moves so quickly? Seeing Florence quickly change its offensive strategy, Lippi thought helplessly after completing the adjustment. He now hopes that Mourinho can have some Ancelotti genes and inherit Fatty An’s unique talent in on-the-spot adjustments so that Lazio can have a little breathing room.
Unfortunately, Mourinho did not intend to let Lazio breathe a sigh of relief. He beat this strong enemy with a stick and made him unable to overturn it. It was his ultimate goal to make Florence hold the Big Ear Cup that had been away for three years.
Mourinho's adjustment really made Drogba and Essin. Although their physical fitness and physical vegetarianism are the top players among all professional players, and their attitude towards the game is extremely positive, after all, they are just two of them. With Ronaldo and Robben basically not participating in the defense and Stankovic and Deco are powerless, no matter how hard Drogba and Essin can run, they can only resist the gameplay of Fiorentina.
Two fists are hard to beat four hands, and Drogba and Essin finally deeply understood the meaning of this sentence today.
Of course, Lippi's adjustment cannot be said to have done useless work. After receiving support from Drogba, Lazio's midfield defense was much more stable than in the first twenty minutes. Although Fiorentina's offensive on the wing during this period and the continuous large-scale transfer in the offense also made the Blue Eagles feel embarrassed, Purple Lily's threat in front of the goal was much weaker than before. This also made many Lazio fans feel relieved - after witnessing the team being suppressed by their opponents with almost no fighting back for nearly half an hour, they finally didn't have to watch their team's game with fear.
Although it seems that Lazio has overcome the difficulties, the Silver Fox himself knows very well that Lazio's crisis has not been resolved, and all the adjustments are just him drinking poison to quench his thirst. To put it bluntly, when even Essin and Drogba can't run, Lazio will face the real crisis moment in this game!
In this regard, Lippi couldn't think of any good way to solve this destined dilemma. He could only hope that Essin and Drogba could last longer, and pray that the team could counterattack and score a goal before exhausting their physical strength, so that Fiorentina would be afraid of the rat.
However, Lippi's expectation was destined to be disappointed. In the 62nd minute of the game, Stankovic suddenly slipped on the court while a return pass, and caught everyone on the court off guard. Especially Essin and Deko, who were about to step forward to respond, faced with this sudden situation, their minds had no time to react, and just watched the ball rolling past them!
Pirlo seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and rushed over to get the ball, then immediately passed the ball directly to Diego Milito in front. After making a fake move of turning around and attack, he passed the ball to Vincent who cut from the left side of the penalty area. After attracting the attention of Cech and others, the Spanish winger picked the ball towards the back point of the goal. Ronaldo slapped the ball from the right and scored with a strong shot!
Chapter completed!
