Just when Zhuang Mingge tried hard to explain to Francesca that he had absolutely no inappropriate thoughts about Buffon, the competition for the first half had ended. Although Fiorentina took the initiative on the court with the advantages of the players' skills and personal abilities, due to the outstanding performance of young player Gianluigi Buffon, Fiorentina failed to score a goal in the past forty-five minutes.

"From the statistics of the first half, Fiorentina made up as many as 19 shots in the previous forty-five minutes, twelve of which were within the goal range. If such shooting accuracy was in normal times, their opponents would have long raised the white flag and surrendered. Unfortunately, the players of Fiorentina met a soul-bearing Buffon today." Taking advantage of the break, the commentator began to summarize the first half. "In contrast, the performance of Parma players is not good. Apart from Buffon who is in a state like a god, there is almost no other Parma player worth mentioning on the court."

"Canavaro and Toulam's defensive abilities are indeed first-class in Serie A, and their playing styles are indeed quite complementary. Ancelotti's move looks really wonderful, but he obviously forgot one thing, that is, this kind of lineup will reduce Parma's air defense capabilities to a higher level."

"Parma players should thank Buffon. If it weren't for his high and low gear, the Parma warship would have been slapped to death by Florence on the beach before he had time to set sail."

Just as the commentator was talking nonstop, the fifteen-minute halftime break had passed, and the players from both sides walked out of the player channel and came to the court, preparing to start the second half.

Neither Capello nor Ancelotti adjusted the team through substitutions in the past fifteen minutes. The reason why the former did not choose to substitution is very simple. After all, Fiorentina had an absolute advantage in the whole first half. In this situation, what Capello needs to do is to adjust the players' emotions to ensure that they can perform normally in the next game instead of thinking about how to substitutions. After all, Fiorentina does not need substitutions at present; and the latter does not make people understand it without substitutions. It is obvious that San Sini is almost beaten by Fiorentina.

After the game started in the second half, the sharp-eyed Zhuang Mingge immediately discovered that although Fatty An did not adjust the team through substitutions, he still made certain tactical changes during the halftime break, which was to retreat from the midfield to the defense line and change the formation to 532.

Haha, Fatty An, the substitution adjustment that has been criticized by people, has shown signs since this time, Zhuang Mingge thought to himself.

On the surface, Ancelotti's adjustment brought San Sini back to the central defender position he was good at. With the original Cannavaro and Toulam, the three central defenders can withstand the offensives of Bati and Vieri no matter how they join forces. At the same time, the configuration of the three central defenders can also effectively liberate the attack power of the two full-backs, Benarivo and Zemaria. It seems that this adjustment is indeed a killing two birds with one stone.

But in this way, Parma has only three players left in the midfield, and Dino Baggio is the only one in the middle!

Fat Ancelotti believes in Dino Baggio's ability and believes that after the constraints of San Cini, the top three midfielders in Italy, which ranks in the top three in Italy's local midfielders should be able to block Fiorentina's midfield offensive. In general, Ancelotti's idea did not make any serious mistakes. After all, the single midfielder sweeping tactics are quite popular in football now, such as Manchester United's Roy Keane, Arsenal's Vieira, and Juventus's Deschamps. These teams rely on a top midfielder to protect the defense.

But Ancelotti forgot that Fiorentina is not a team that fits the trend. In other words, under the intentional or unintentional guidance of Zhuang Mingge, who is a time traveler, Fiorentina's football philosophy is more than ten years ahead of other teams of the same period.

In Zhuang Mingge's opinion, the protection of a single midfielder for the defense line is still too weak. After all, two fists cannot beat four hands. Once multiple players on the opponent launch an attack in the middle, how many people can a mere midfielder look at?

The adjustment made by Ancelotti during the break meant that Dino Baggio would face joint strikes from Effenberg, Rui Costa, Redondo and others in the second half. This situation made Parma, who had no advantage in the midfield battle, more passive.

While defending, with the addition of San Sini, the three central defenders finally blocked Fiorentina's double tower attack, but this did not breathe a sigh of relief from the Parma players because they discovered a more severe reality, that is, the opponent's long shots outside the penalty area have increased significantly. Effenberg, Costa, Redondo and even Davis have a very good long shot skill, while Dino Bagg, a single midfielder, can only stare at one of them. The opponent can easily get a shot near the top of the penalty area with just one pass.

Although Buffon was in very good shape in this game, blocking many long shots from Fiorentine players in succession, Buffon is also a human being and he will be tired. If Fiorentina keeps shooting unscrupulously, Parma will be completely defeated when Buffon is tired.

Moreover, when attacking, because Dino Baggio had to be distracted from defense, Parma could only repeatedly launch an offensive through the wings of Stanichi and others. However, in the absence of the organization and dispatch of mid-lane players, Fiorentina only needs to keep aside to make Parma's offense return empty-handed.

Ancelotti is walking around the side of the court at this moment. You should know that this is his first time coaching a top-notch team. Of course, he wants to make some results in Parma, but the team is now being beaten by Fiorentina on the court, which makes Ancelotti, who hopes to use a European Super Cup championship to stabilize the coach position, is very anxious, but he has no good way to change this situation.

If I had known it, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to send Zora away. If he were there, he would have been able to connect the team's attack. However, Ancelotti thought about this in his mind, and what he said was obviously a slap in the face.

In the 63rd minute, the ball passed by Stanichi to Zemaria was intercepted by Carlos. After successfully intercepting the ball, the latter dribbled the ball for a full forty meters, and then handed the ball to Redondo who followed in the middle with a diagonal pass.

Facing Dino Baggio's defense, the Argentine midfielder did not intend to break through directly, but moved his left foot and made a fake move to the right side of the dribble to attract the opponent's attention. He used his left foot to pass the ball to Batistuta who was standing in the penalty area. Seeing this, San Sini and Toulam immediately rushed forward to double-team Batistuta.

However, Bati, who had the ball on his back, did not choose to shoot directly against the defense of two first-class central defenders, but instead leaned on Toulam and thrust the ball before Saint-Sini arrived.

The ball rolled past San Sini's feet to the other side of the penalty area, where Vieri and Parma's third-place center back Cannavaro.

Vieri, who is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 82 kilograms, dealing with Cannavaro, who is more than ten centimeters shorter than him. Is this result still necessary? I will use my strength to eat it raw and then shoot!

Faced with Vieri's powerful shot less than ten meters away from the goal, Buffon, who saved Parma countless times in this game, was unable to turn things around and could only watch the ball fly into the goal he guarded.
Chapter completed!
