Chapter 199

On September 10, the entire Fiorentina team went north to Vicenza to welcome the second league game of the season.

Since many players in the Fiorentina team participated in the European Cup qualifiers three days ago, Ranieli continued his "rotational career" in this game: the starting goalkeeper was Tordo, the defense line was Fortunato, Viljoward, Nesta and Zambrota from left to right. In the midfield foursome, Tacinadi and Boar Davis replaced Dibiagio and Kripa and got the chance to start the league. Italy's prince Robert Baggio was retreated from the forward to the midfield by Ranieli, and the forward partner became Batistuta and Philip Inzagi.

From the perspective of the cards, this set of players is obviously not the strongest starting lineup in Fiorentina, but the overall strength of the team still steadily surpassed Vicenza, and it seems that it is no problem to win a away game.

However, Fiorentina, full of confidence, encountered a tenacious obstacle from the Vicenza team led by "Little Zhuge" Guidolin on the away game. In this game, Zhuge arranged for Vicenza players to continuously block Fiorentina's offense with strict overall defense, fierce fighting and fouls, which made it difficult for players such as Baggio and Fortunato, who had just recovered from injury, dared not break through easily, making it difficult for Fiorentina to form a threatening attack on the court.

At the same time, Guidolin also fully utilized his offensive ability of two left players - defender Koko and winger Ambrossetti (this guy had the title of "Italy Giggs" before joining Chelsea in the Premier League). The two cooperated on the left side of the stadium, making Zanbrotta, a young player guarding Fiorentina's right, dizzy and miserable.

After the two of them successfully broke through from Zanbrotta's side, they would immediately make a cross without hesitation, and the attack was completed by the forward Otero who was heading in the front and the two Zauri and Ambrotsini who were inserted behind.

At the 23rd minute of the game, Ambrossetti once again used his speed to successfully throw away Zambrota and then made a strong cross. The ball was first rubbed by Otero, who followed in the middle, and flew straight to the left side of the goal of Fiorentina. However, Tordo, who was quite focused, jumped up and punched the ball out with both fists.

Since Otero's shot was quite fast, Tordo, who was eager to save the ball, did not use much force when hitting the ball, and the ball just flew out of the penalty area.

Veljoward was still standing in the penalty area to defend, while another central defender, Nesta, who was only nineteen years old, made a mistake at this time - he rushed to the landing point of the ball at the first time and did not notice that Vicenza's players were actually closer to football than him. As a result, Ambrosini, who was inserted from the high speed of the midfield, took the lead in Nesta and got the ball with his right foot at the first time!

The black and white elf flew to the other side of the goal with a "swoosh". Tordo, who had just made a save, had no choice but to face this powerful and powerful attack. Although he was tall and long, he was not a superman either, and he did not have the ability to cross the entire goal distance to the other side in an instant.

With Ambrosini's goal in the 23rd minute, Vicenza led the defending champion Fiorentina 1-0 at home!

This time, Zhuang Mingge, who did not follow the team to go out to fight but chose to sit in front of the TV to watch the game, turned very ugly the moment Vicenza broke through the Fiorentine goal.

"This Ranieri reminded him to be careful and actually treated me as a warning!" Zhuang Mingge gritted his teeth, because through the goal replay, we can see that Davis and Tacinadi, who were the last guarantee in front of the Fiorentine back line, were still slowly walking back from the midfield when the Vicenza players launched a large-scale attack. It was precisely because of their negligence that the goal conceded.

Even if Zhuang Mingge thought with his toes, he knew that this situation was definitely because Ranieri, as the team's head coach, said something to the players before the game, which caused the players to not be nervous at all during the game, which led to the Vicenza winning the first goal.

"It's normal for this phenomenon to occur, Tony. Although he was robbed by Manager Moji in the transfer market once, in general, our club has been smooth sailing in the past two years, especially with such a brilliant record last season, so it is also expected that Coach Ranieri's careless loss to Jingzhou this time." Karin comforted him.

"Karin, if I hadn't reminded Ranieri before, I wouldn't say anything now that the team was behind or even lost. But after I specifically reminded Ranieri, he still looked so slapped in the opponent!" This was exactly what Zhuang Mingge couldn't tolerate. He abides by the norms of the Italian club, and did not because Ranieri had a high prestige in the team, just like Abu treats Mourinho. This time he just reminded Ranieri out of kindness. Unexpectedly, his confidence in the past two years has been smooth sailing, and the pot-making maker did not accept the love of his boss at all.

Let me ask, how many bosses will endure employees who don’t take themselves seriously?

However, we need to consider more about Ranieri's handling method. After all, changing coaches in the middle of the season will cause more unnecessary problems...

...

Because Ranieli is very confident in winning the game with Vicenza before the game, in this away game, Ronaldo, Djokaf, Rui Costa and other offensive players were left in Fiorentina by Ranieli. As a result, the players sitting on the Fiorentina bench were all a group of young players and rotation players temporarily transferred from the youth team - 20-year-old Tomasi, 18-year-old Zanetti, and 30-year-old Kripa - these people did not have any direct help to Fiorentina launching a counterattack.

There is obviously no tacit understanding between Robert Baggio and Bati and Inzaggi. At this time, Baggio was a typical No. 9 and a half forward. On the court, he focused more on scoring rather than organizing offense. In addition, Vicenza after leading, Fiorentina's front trident did not show its due power, making Fiorentina, who was behind in the score, more and more difficult on the court.

Vicenza on the other side became more and more courageous as he fought. The midfielder of Ambrosini, Zauri and Dicarlo used unremitting running to build a steel wall in front of his own goal, blocking Florence's counterattack outside his goal line.
