Chapter 36 of "Additional Updates and Compensation Plan", the third update is given...

After conceding the ball, the Zaragoza players did not admit defeat like this. After all, there are more than 80 minutes left in the game, and they still have enough time to equalize and even overtake the score.

But after the kick-off, Zaragoza players found that their attacks were still difficult to penetrate Fiorentina's defense.

Among the four midfielders in Fiorentina, Kripa and Dibiagio's defense are quite fierce, and Effenberg and Djokaf are also good at defense. The thickness of the midfield defense is much better than the Espanyol who does not pay attention to this aspect. This midfielder with super defense and running abilities is the weakness of the Spanish team.

After all, there has never been such a midfielder with super defensive capabilities in La Liga. The enthusiastic and unrestrained Spanish Bullfighters have spent most of their energy on gorgeous offenses.

A Zaragoza player who has not participated in several European matches has rarely seen a dense defense like Fiorentina. Some people have even encountered this level of defense for the first time.

Active running, a lot of physical contact, fierce fouls... All of this made the paranoid Spanish, who pursued attack, quite uncomfortable.

So, the next game completely repeated the rhythm of Fiorentina's first goal - Zaragoza's attack, the ball was intercepted, Fiorentina counterattacked...

...

The game was in the 21st minute, and Zaragoza tried to penetrate the short pass from the middle again, but Kripa, who was running all over the field, tackled Aragon's pass halfway, and the ball jumped to Effenberg not far away. Fiorentina, who had the ball rights, launched a counterattack again!

Effenberg looked up at the position of Djokaf in front of him, and directly made a long pass over the top!

But unfortunately, Fiorentina's counterattack was intercepted by Zaragoza midfielder Poyet. In this attack, Boyet was slower and did not follow his teammates to Fiorentina's half. Instead, he happened to stand in front of the team's back line. Therefore, when he saw the ball flying towards his backcourt, he relied on his height advantage to interrupt Fiorentina's counterattack in time.

Poyette played very depressed in this game. As the only one of Zaragoza's four midfielders on the court, he was comparable to the Fiorentine player in terms of physical fitness, he originally wanted the Fiorentine players to realize his strength, but he did not expect that Fiorentine would not attack from the middle, and blindly chased and beat Cafu's point, and then cut into the penalty area from there, passing or shooting.

"Tsk, damn Italian." Poyette cursed in his heart. As the core of the organization on Zaragoza's court, facing Fiorentina's defensive front, he also felt like he had nowhere to talk. "Since that's the case, I have to wait until the coach will change his tactics during the halftime break..."

So, under the organization and command of Poyette, Zaragoza began to slowly retreat, and played the control ball in his half. He occasionally tried to Fiorentina's halftime several times. After finding an inability to take advantage of it, he quickly retreated into his halftime and started passing practice.

"I'll just go, isn't this the most popular trick that Barcelona played later?" Zhuang Mingge was shocked when he saw Zaragoza starting to play passes in his backcourt. He thought that some Barcelona fan had traveled to Zaragoza.

Later, after Zhuang Mingge looked carefully for a while, he realized that Zaragoza adopted this tactic completely a negative attitude towards the game, rather than constantly using the pass to tear open the Fiorentina's defense line to equalize the score. Only then did he completely relieved and continue to watch the game.

In this way, the remaining twenty minutes of the first half were quickly spent in the stalemate between the two sides.

"It's a boring game. After being hit by the Fiorentines several times, Zaragoza was afraid of conceding the ball again. He used his technical advantages to play the pass drill in the half. It was difficult to push the opponent to grab the ball in the half, Fiorentine, who had to watch his opponents use up the first half, would have to watch his opponents exhaust the first half." The commentator of Sky TV also felt that Zaragoza was really inauthentic. Don't play anymore. Your score is still behind now! Even if you can control the ball and don't score quickly, if you win the championship, it's still the other person who won the championship!

"Zarragoza's opening tactics prove that their tactics are ineffective against Fiorentina, but they are likely to be completely collapsed by the opponent's repeated counterattacks. From this perspective, Boyet, the core of the midfielder of Zaragoza, has no mistakes in his approach." Michel Lauderup, a guest, is now excusing Zaragoza's "negative game" move. "We now see what changes the coaches of both sides will make to the team's tactics during the break! After all, the advantage of a ball is the least safe, and the opponent will easily turn it over by the opponent."

"Michelle, if you were the head coach of Zaragoza, what kind of tactical adjustment would you make?"

"Well, I think I'll let Boyet strike more, use his long shot to hit Fiorentina's goal, let Esnyder wander around the back of Fiorentina to find opportunities, and the most important thing is to liberate Cafo."

"Cafo, is the parallel right-back in Zaragoza?"

"Yes, but he is not a parallel person. His poor performance is more because the head coach of Zaragoza made a mistake in positioning him. His talent is on offense, not defense."

...

At the beginning of the second half, Fiorentina, who kicked off, launched a rush to attack amid the shouts of Fiorentine fans on the stadium and tried to expand the score. After some adjustment, Zaragoza also gave up the negative tactics of the first half and bravely fought with Fiorentina in the midfield.

"If Zaragoza wants to push up and attack, it can certainly increase the pressure on the Fiorentine defense line, but the space behind their own defense line will also become larger... Now it depends on which side can score the second goal in Pisa in this game. If it is Zaragoza, then there is still some suspense in the game; if it is Fiorentine, then the game can end here." The experienced Sky TV commentator made the following judgment on the situation on the field.

There was nothing wrong with his judgment.

After Fiorentina's first offense was successfully defended by Zaragoza, Zaragoza immediately launched a counterattack. Poyet and Naim made wonderful passes and cuts on the right, and the entire Fiorentina team began to recover the defense!

Victor Fernandez stood on the sidelines with a serious expression. During the half-time break, he chose to let Poyette participate more directly in the offense and use this method to suppress Fiorentina. Although this tactic is risky, it is the most likely tactic for Zaragoza, who is one goal behind. After all, the team's main scorer Esnyder was completely submerged in the "forest" of Fiorentina in the first half (Esnyder is only 165cm tall).

Effenberg and Kripa's timely retreat allowed Fiorentina to defend at the front of the penalty area. After several passes, Zaragoza saw that there was no good way, so he had to pass the ball to Naim, hoping to create opportunities through his wing break.

As a result... Naim, who is about to be 30, was once again cut off the ball by Lanna!

Zaragoza, who had a large gap in the backcourt, could no longer stop Fiorentina's counterattack this time. After two or three passes, the ball was pushed into the empty goal by Philip Inzagi, and Batistuta assisted him.
