Chapter 178 Italian Super Cup (1)

"Puff..." After hearing the confident answer from Groz, Zhuang Mingge could no longer help laughing, covered his stomach and squatted at the door with no image and laughed.

"Hey! Hey! Don't laugh!" Little Groz also discovered the low-level mistake he had made just now. His pretty face turned red, and he stomped his feet angrily, and said, "Antonio, you definitely did it on purpose!"

"Haha... OK... I understand." Zhuang Mingge finally adjusted his facial expression back and stood up with the door frame, but he still didn't forget to tease Groz, "Rebecca, you are really a genius. How long has it been since Baggio transferred to Florence? He can still say 'Juventus' Baggio'... Are your thinking still alive last season?"

"Talking and talking!" Little Groz pushed Zhuang Mingge's back and walked into the house, saying angrily, "I should be grateful if I come here to watch the football game with you!"

"Yes, thank you Miss Rebecca for coming, it really makes the house shine." Zhuang Mingge pulled a classical Chinese that Little Groz couldn't understand and allowed her to push it into the room.

When Zhuang Mingge sat in front of the TV again, he found that the game had already started for five minutes. The score on the court was still zero to zero. Neither side could win the lead just before the game started.

Little Groz sat next to Zhuang Mingge, holding a cup of just-made coffee in his hand, and followed him to watch the game live broadcast on TV.

"Antonio, how much do you think these two teams have the chance to win this game?" Groz, who didn't know much about football, watched the game for a while, and she couldn't help but starts to interfere with Zhuang Mingge.

"If you look at the starting lineup, Fiorentina's face is bigger." Zhuang Mingge just finished speaking, and from the corner of his eyes swept to Groz, who was about to refute his "protective" remarks, and then added, "I say that, not only because Fiorentina is my team, but also more important reasons: Fiorentina's starting lineup only changed a striker from last season, while Juventus replaced a main central defender and two midfielders in this game."

"Is there any difference? Isn't the player's job just to show his abilities during the game?" Groz, a young amateur fan, asked in confusion.

This is the gap between ordinary fans and smart club managers. What fans want to see is that the team continues to win and win championships. The more stars there are in the team, the better. I wish even a big-name star sat in the stands.

However, the club managers cannot do so at will. First of all, doing so will cause the club's fiscal expenditure to increase sharply. If the income cannot keep up, bankruptcy is a matter of time. Dortmund was like this in the early 21st century. The club obtained a large amount of funds through listing, and then used this money to buy players... As a result, in the end, the income was not enough, which directly led to Dortmund's serious economic crisis. The club was forced to use the ticket income of Westphalon Stadium for the next twenty years as collateral to avoid the fate of bankruptcy. And this was not enough. Dortmund was forced to sell the naming rights of Westphalon Stadium, which allowed the club to survive this disaster. This also made Dortmund, who was one of Germany's top clubs at the turn of the century, struggled for nearly ten years, and it was not until 2011 that it gradually recovered its vitality.

Secondly, if we really buy so many big-name stars, how should the head coach arrange their playing time? They are all big-name stars. Who would really convince the opponent can get the starting position, but he can only sit on the bench? Just look at Manchester City now. Purchasing stars without any plans and restraints has led to constant internal disputes within the team. Although Tevez, Balotelli, Nasri and other thorns have outstanding abilities, they are also among the best in causing trouble. The continuous internal friction makes Manchester City unable to exert their real combat power at all.

Moreover, if the team changes its lineup, it will definitely affect the tacit understanding among players to a certain extent. If it is an offensive player, it is okay to say that some players with excellent abilities can complete the scoring task with their personal abilities; but this is not the case in defense. The lack of tacit understanding between defenders, especially central defenders, is very dangerous, because once there is a mistake in cooperation between central defenders due to lack of tacit understanding, it will cause very serious consequences...

For example, in the TV set in front of Zhuang Mingge, two Juventus' central defenders staged such a good show: at the 20th minute of the game, Effenberg got rid of his close-fitting control and sent a straight pass. Because the ball was running in between Blank and Uliano's defense zones - both of them who were not very familiar with each other thought that the opponent would be responsible for clearing the ball out, but the two watched helplessly as the straight pass, which was not very threatening, penetrated Juventus' defense line!

Blank, who turned faster, quickly chased in the direction of the ball, but at this moment, Ronaldo, who started for Fiorentina for the first time, rushed out like a flash of lightning and got the ball in front of Blank!

What a terrible speed! Blank was shocked, but he clearly remembered that the Brazilian striker was several meters behind him in the first few seconds...

But now he doesn’t have time to think about it anymore. His main task is to stop the Brazilian in front of him from continuing to move forward!

So, Blank immediately used a tackle while Ronaldo had not completely escaped from his control. After all, it can be seen from the series of actions just now that Blank wanted to catch up with Ronaldo at speed, so he had to use the most dangerous move for the defender - tackle.

The reason why tackle is the most dangerous move for the defender is not because the tackle itself will have any bad impact on the defender's body, but that once the defender uses this move, it means that he will be successful if he fails, because once the goal cannot be achieved, the player holding the ball can directly face the goalkeeper.

And now the actions Blank made can be regarded as the range of behind-the-spot tackles - although the punishment for behind-the-spot tackles was slightly alleviated in 1995 (when the new regulations were implemented in 1994, they would have to be shown a red card), but a yellow card would definitely not be able to escape.

30cm…20cm…10cm…

Just when Blank's toes were about to touch Ronaldo, the Brazilian, who was already on the high speed, made another acceleration, and in an instant, distanced himself from the French!

The subsequent work was very simple for Ronaldo. A pendulum-like person drifted the bulky Peruzz over easily and shot the empty goal.

Fiorentina leads Juventus one-to-zero!
