PS: I'm really sorry, I was a little dizzy during the Spring Festival. I didn't notice such a big bug in the previous chapter. I'm sorry to you here. I will try my best to ensure that there will be no such misunderstanding in the future...

After returning from Munich, the Fiorentine players flew directly to Parma, because three days later they would have a great battle with the Milk Legion led by Ancelotti.

On November 3, the Tardini Stadium ushered in the eighth round of the 96-97 season between Fiorentina and Parma.

Ancelotti's starting lineup is still so lacking innovating, making people guess it: goalkeeper Buffon, three central defenders line up, namely Cannavaro, San Sini and Toulam, two full-backs Benarivo and Zemaria are responsible for Parma's wing offense and defense; the old captain Minotti is moved to the midfield and partnered with local star Dino Baggio, the two will be responsible for Parma's midfield defense together, and Croatian midfielder Stanic acts as the midfield commander.

The forward line is still a combination of Crespo and Chiesa. After several months of adaptation, the young Argentine center finally began to adapt to the style of the Serie A. The continuous goals surprised Parma fans and also made Francesca, who strongly advocated the introduction of Crespo, smile. Chiesa still maintained the good form of playing football in Sampdoria last season, and quickly integrated into the team after a brief running-in. Currently, he has scored five goals in seven league games and has become the number one scorer in Parma.

Compared with Parma, which has been fully equipped with the main players, Fiorentina has to consider the impact of the two matches on the players. After all, it can be seen through the group stage with Bayern that although Di Biagio and his team passed the Fiorentina team physical examination, their competitive state actually fluctuated greatly in that game, making Fiorentina passive from the beginning of the game.

Therefore, Capello arranged a starting lineup of the main players and substitutes in this game: on the front line are Vieri and Inzaghi, the good friends of the former. The impact of the former and the ability of the latter to seize opportunities are enough to make Parma's defense line drink a hit; behind them, Frenchman Djokav got a starting opportunity, but he could only serve as the core of the second organization in this game. The heavy responsibility of the chief organization core was handed over by Capello to Andre Pirlo, who had been honed by Gulfren's training method for almost two years. The 17-year-old young player will take over the mantle of Effenberg and Costa in this game and become the core of the organization in Fiorentina.

As for Djokav, his mission is no different from his French national team, that is, to assist Pirlo in completing the work of organizing the offense, and at the same time, to attract the defensive pressure of opponents to ensure that Pirlo will not be easily stared at by opponents' defensive players.

As for the defense of the midfield, Davis, who had been resting for a whole week, and the young player Zanetti who was transferred from the youth team. After all, main players such as Redondo and Dibiagio have consumed a lot in recent consecutive battles and are not suitable for starting in this game. Tomasi, who was originally the main player in the rotation, was also overworked by Carter and Nelson forbidding them from playing in the red light because of overworking with Bayern.

On the back line, Robert Carlos and Zambrota were separated from both sides to resist and even suppress Parma's wing strength; at the same time, because Ferrara was found to have a slight muscle strain after the game with Bayern, Dutch central defender Stam once again got a starting chance, and he will form a new central iron gate with Nesta... As for the starting goalkeeper, Tordo is still. After all, Guadalbon and Tordo on the bench are too different in abilities, and if they rashly change the goalkeeper, they will only lose more balls.

Toldo, 25-year-old Stam, 24-year-old Carlos, 23-year-old Nesta, and Zanbrotta, who is only nineteen-year-old... In Zhuang Mingge's eyes, these young players represent the unlimited future of Fiorentina.

After the game started, neither team had too much entanglement in the midfield. After all, both sides knew that their midfield did not have the technical content to control the rhythm of the game... There is no need to say more about Parma. In Fiorentina, Davis and Zanetti are both players who focus on defense and do not have much organizational ability. Although Parlo has a general style in his every move, he is only seventeen years old and is still a little immature. He still needs to be strengthened in the application of technology and grasping details. Therefore, Capello also gave up the plan to control the midfield in this game. He emphasized it specifically when setting up tactical strategies before the game, so that the players can speed up the pace of the game and let Parma's defense line have more loopholes to break through the opponent's goal.

Since the implementation of the three-point system in Serie A, those teams who are eager to win are no longer satisfied with a draw that can only get one point. The desire for victory has greatly increased the number of goals in the game. After all, defense alone cannot win a victory. Only by scoring more goals than the opponent can you get three points.

Even a one-to-zero player has to rely on offense to get a lead in the lead of a ball before daring to make a big shot? If those guys are allowed to keep their guard in every game, they may have to be smashed by their boss in just a few games.

As the pace of the game accelerated, the number of players on the court began to increase, which also allowed Vieri and Crespo and others to get more shooting opportunities.

The large number of shots from both players made the goalkeepers of the two teams, Toldor and Buffon, the busiest people in the game. The two of them made many wonderful saves in the game.

It is precisely because of this that the two goalkeepers unexpectedly became the focus of the court in this game.

In the 18th minute, Djokaf passed the ball from the left and handed the ball to Vieri in the penalty area. The latter carried two players from Cannavaro and Toulam to complete the turn and then took a strong shot with his left foot. Buffon reacted quickly and poked the ball out of the goal range as the ball crossed the goal line;

In the 23rd minute, Pirlo dribbled the ball and was intercepted by Dino Baggio. Parma took the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack. Stanic passed the ball in the middle. Chiesa cut from the penalty area and received the ball and pushed it into the lower right corner of the goal. Tordo's position was quite good, and he took the ball into his arms with one step. Parma's attack eventually returned in vain;

In the 35th minute, Fiorentina won a free kick in the frontcourt at 22 meters away from the goal. Pirlo, who took the free kick, kicked a standard leaf-falling ball. The ball drew a beautiful arc and headed straight for Parma's goal. However, Buffon appeared on the ball's flight route at this critical moment, destroying the shot that could become the best goal in this round of Serie A;

In the 44th minute of the game, Parma got the best chance to score in the entire first half. Benarivo's cross just passed Stam's head and fell to Crespo's feet. However, the Argentinian's trick shot seven meters in front of the goal was poked out of the baseline by Toldo, who was tall and long, with his fingertips, tenaciously ensuring that his goal was not lost.

After Crespo missed this good opportunity to score, the first half also came to an end. After Inzaggi's rushing in front of the goal was blocked by Buffon from the baseline, the referee did not give Fiorentina a chance to take a corner kick, and directly blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
Chapter completed!
