Irving's goal did not cause much trouble in European football. After all, this was just an ordinary Champions League group stage. Liverpool was already behind four goals at that time. In addition, the Fiorentine players had slowed down due to the sharp lead in the score, and their attention was not as focused as before... Considering so many objective factors, even if Irving broke through the goal guarded by Tordo after nearly half the court, people did not pay much attention to it.
Compared with the calmness of sports media in other countries, the British media, like collectively playing stimulants after the game, raising Irving's goal to the same level as Maradona's goal in the 1986 World Cup. With the praise of these British media, Irving's fame in the British Isles has risen rapidly, from a young forward who has just emerged in the league to a star of tomorrow in their mouths!
With the continuous increase in popularity, Irving has become another representative figure among the new generation of English players after Beckham!
"These people really dare to say anything. Those who don't know will probably think that Irving is already a person of Bailey or Cruyff after reading these reports." Looking at the major British sports newspapers facing Irving's numerous reports and praises, Zhuang Mingge's goosebumps all over the floor. "These British guys are really crazy. If they keep going like this, Irving's achievements will probably be limited to this."
"Well, Tony, this is also expected." Carlin smiled and comforted Zhuang Mingge, who was showing a "I'm very unhappy" expression in front of him, and said, "UEFA's five-year ban on the English team was too heavy. It not only greatly affected the overall image of English football, but also made their league lack stars with enough appeal to attract more fans."
"So, I'm very dissatisfied with the British using this kind of quick success and instant benefits to force stars." Zhuang Mingge sighed and said, "Using this way of over-exploiting existing player resources to restore the appeal of the newly established Premier League as soon as possible. Although it is OK, for these players who have been deliberately made famous, they are destined to be unable to reach their due heights."
Indeed, in order to give the Premier League more "star flavor", the British who are eager for quick success and instant benefits quickly made them famous after Beckham and their friends became famous, resulting in them having to attend a large number of business occasions when they should have been laying the foundation. In addition, the huge pressure brought by frequent participation in competitions and external expectations has made them not have enough time to improve themselves after becoming famous.
Irving, Beckham, Joe Cole... These stars who grew up from that period have failed to reach the heights they should have reached because of this reason.
Well, let these British people go to the fore. Anyway, they have nothing to do with Italian football and Florence, so there is no need for Zhuang Mingge to go and help them.
On the third day after the home victory over Liverpool, Fiorentina players ushered in the sixth round of the Serie A at home, where they will face the Red Wolf Roma led by Zeman.
Although Roma lost Uruguayan shooter Fonseca this summer, Brazilian striker Paul Sergio, introduced from Leverkusen, made up for the vacancy left by the Uruguayan shooter after leaving. In addition, Delvicio, who can play multiple positions such as left winger and center, Roma's attack power showed no sign of decline.
In response to Rome's crazy attack, Capello naturally formulated a tactical policy of first stabilizing the team's defense in this game, and then waiting for an opportunity to fight against the Red Wolves' counterattack.
It is not uncommon for Capello to choose like this. After all, head coaches in Italy know what kind of tactics the team led by Zeman will use, and they will all arrange very targeted tactics to restrain this crazy opponent. But even so, many of them still suffered shameful failures because Zeman's team's attack power is too strong, and they are often torn to pieces by the Czech team before their tactics can take effect.
"Now let me introduce Fiorentina's starting lineup tonight, goalkeeper Toldo, and four defenders are Fortunato, Matrazi, Stam and Zambrota, Dibiagio, Zanetti and Tomasi to form three midfielders... Coach Capello seems to have made up his mind to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Zeman's Roma at home."
While reading the starting list of the two teams, the commentator analyzed, "In Roma, Zeman's starting lineup is still extremely offensive: goalkeeper Badz, the defenders are Candela, Aldale, Servede and Cafo, and the midfield are both offensive and defensive, on the forward line, Zeman's Delvicio, Paul Sergio and Balbo are also powerful."
After the game started, Roma, under Zeman's command, took the lead in the visit and launched a tide attack towards the gate of Florence. He attacked the trident in front, and the attack from Gotieri, Totti and others. Coupled with the breakthrough of Candela and Cafo, Roma's offensive system was the first-class European level.
However, the Red Wolf's fierce attack failed to knock on the door of Fiorentina. The biggest benefit of actively shrinking the defense line brought to Fiorentina is that the tall central defender combination of Stam and Matrazi do not have to worry about their behind them. The wing guards of Fortunato and Zanbrotta are also quite reassuring. The configuration of the three-middle midfielder is extremely effective in tamping with Totti and others in the attack in the bud.
After resisting the Romans' attack, Florence's counterattack gradually opened up. Rui Costa's accurate pass benefited Barti and Ronaldo, who were ready to fight back at any time, benefited a lot.
In the 25th minute, Gotieri's pass to Toti was intercepted by Diviagio in the middle of the road, and the latter immediately passed the ball to Costa in front. The Portuguese immediately gave a long pass against the ground, directly breaking through Roma's defense line. Ronaldo, who successfully counterattacked the ball and formed a one-on-one striker!
After breaking into the penalty area and attracting Badz's attention, the alien did not directly shoot, but instead picked the ball towards the other side of the penalty area. Batistuta, who was running diagonally behind Ronaldo, made a big shot without waiting for the ball to land!
Bartz, who was standing at the other end of the goal, could only watch the ball fly into the goal he guarded.
Chapter completed!
