Chapter 198 Little Zhuge Gui Duolin
After the match against Torino, the first round of the new Serie A season finally ended.
Since Fiorentina's four-goal victory over Torino was the highest score in this round of Serie A, Fiorentina was lucky to beat other competitors with the advantage of goal difference and topped the standings after the first round.
The ones who were chasing behind Fiorentina were Juventus, Lazio, Milan's two-man and Udinese who also won in this round.
Juventus and Lazio both defeated their opponents with a four-to-one score at their respective home courts, and their performance was also very good. However, because they had one goal difference less than Fiorentina, they had to stay in the second place in the league in a frustrated manner.
The two Milan champions also showed their new strength to the fans: AC Milan's Liberian striker George Via, who was introduced from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, scored a goal before the final whistle, and defeated Padova 2-1 away. On the other hand, the Nerazzurri, who was in the Meazza Stadium, faced the season's newly promoted Jones, and although Inter Milan was far stronger than his opponent on paper, facing the unanimous Vicenza, the match was extremely difficult. It only relied on Maurizio Gonz to score a header in the first half to win.
In the first round of the league, only Parma, the only team that had the strength to compete for the Serie A championship this season did not win. They were unexpectedly tied by Atlanta 1-1 away. It seems that after the group of main players who successfully advanced to the League, Parma's stability declined to a certain extent, and began to go from a team that had the strength to compete for the league championship to a strong team that could influence the direction of the league championship.
As for Sampdoria and Roma, who also did not win this round of the league, well, Zhuang Mingge personally believes that these two teams are playing the role of accompanying the prince this season. Being able to get a ticket to the European game for next season will be the biggest victory of the season for them. As for the league championship? It would be better not to joke about this...
After all, teams that can win the league championship generally have very stable defenses, and the first thing that reflects this stability is their goalkeepers.
Don't look at Juventus' Peruzzi's very poor flexibility and has many shortcomings in saving high balls and attacks, but in general, he is still a good goalkeeper who will not make low-level mistakes, so Juventus, who has his presence, is still a very strong team.
Similarly, Inter Milan has Palioca, AC Milan has Sebastian Rossi, Lazio and Parma's Macegiana and Butch are also top-notch goalkeepers in Europe, while Rome and Sampdoria are much worse than this.
What kind of performance did Battz look like in the club game? As a time traveler, Zhuang Mingge is still unclear? This guy is just a nerve knife. Sometimes he can make some very exciting saves, but in many cases he makes some inexplicable low-level mistakes. When playing for Manchester United, he was furious to Sir Freud...
A goalkeeper with unstable performance may ruin a team's efforts for a season at any time. Although he has performed wonderfully in the French national team Badtz, his neurotic characteristics over the long season are really not suitable to become a goalkeeper for a team that is ambitious to win the league championship.
So, Rome, PASS.
As for Sampdoria, let alone Sampdoria, its boss, Mr. Mantovani, completely broke up the golden lineup of that year this summer. Although it also built a very powerful attack combination of Chiesa-Montra-Mancini-Sidorf, the defensive disadvantages have not been significantly improved. After the Italian national goalkeeper Palioca left, Sampdoria's defense line became riddled in an instant. Neither Zeng Jia nor Pagto this season had enough strength to fill this hole, which also made many professionals not optimistic about Sampdoria this season.
After the national team game, Fiorentina internationals returned to the team to prepare for the next league game.
Unlike last season, the schedule of the Serie A this season is very tight, because the opening ceremony of the European Cup will be in mid-June next year. Therefore, in order to give the national team sufficient preparation and running-in time, the entire league will end in late May, so naturally, it cannot be played one week most of the time like last season. On September 10, the third day after the European Cup qualifiers, Fiorentina will usher in the second round of away challenge to the newly promoted Vichenza.
Although Vicenza was defeated by the Ross and Blacks at home in the first round of the league, their first team lineup, as a newly promoted team, is much better than Fiorentina's first round opponent, Torino: Uruguayan striker Otero, who scored three goals in the Copa America this summer, has an active running and balanced midfielder Ambrosini, and a left-back Francisco Coco, who is regarded as Maldini's natural successor...
Moreover, the reason why Zhuang Mingge paid attention to Vicenza is not only because of these players he is familiar with in his memory, but also the head coach who forced him to be cautious - Francesco Guidolin.
There are many outstanding civilian coaches in Italian football, and Guidolin is one of them.
When coaching Palermo, this civilian coach once made a bold statement: "Give me a little stronger Palermo, I can easily defeat Inter Milan!"
Guidolin's tactical literacy and on-site command level are quite high. In Zhuang Mingge's previous life, Guidolin led Vicenza, a small team that once made it out of the Golden Boy Rossi and Prince Baggio, to enter the semi-finals of the European Winners Cup, and became famous in one fell swoop. He also won himself the reputation of "Little Zhuge" with his varied tactical style.
Therefore, facing such a Vicenza, Zhuang Mingge, as the chairman of Florence, specifically reminded Ranieri not to relax just because his opponent is just a promoted team.
"Don't worry, boss!" In the chairman's office, Ranieri made a promise to Zhuang Mingge with confidence, "No matter how capable coach Guidolin is, Florence is too strong as Vicenza! In the face of absolute strength, any kind of conspiracy is irresistible!"
