Chapter 677 European Super Cup (4)

PS: I would like to ask for recommendation votes here, thank you everyone...

After the fifteen-minute halftime break, the two sides will reunite.

As the endless breakthroughs and goals in the first half made all the fans watching this game excited, this also invisibly raised the fans' expectations for this game.

After all, many fans were disappointed at first after hearing that the European Super Cup final was a civil war between two Serie A teams, because in their impression, the Italian teams are all believers of one-to-zeroism, and they are extremely conservative and they can't play pleasing football.

However, the performances of Fiorentina and Vicenza in the first half completely subverted the perception of some people, making many people realize for the first time that Italian teams can also play such exciting games.

In fact, Italian football initially chose to start with defense only for the purpose of pursuing practicality, but accidentally went off the road, giving people the illusion that as long as the Italian team participates in the game, it will be extremely dull.

Now, with the rise of teams such as Fiorentina, Vicenza, Udinese, Lazio and Roma that often take the initiative to attack in the game, fans' impression of Italian teams has changed unknowingly.

Of course, proactive attack does not mean that you will relax your attention to defense. They just don’t abandon the practice of giving up attack and defending purely to prevent the opponent from scoring goals. They become a defensive system while building a defensive system, and also pay attention to the players’ performance on the offensive end.

For example, Florence and Vicenza, who received support from Florence, combined Saki's regional defense theory with traditional Italian chain defense to build a complete defensive system. Only when this system is not messy will the offensive matter be considered.

Therefore, although it seems that Fiorentina and Vicenza both attacked fiercely in the first half, in fact, their defensive formations did not show many loopholes in the game.

The reason why two goals appeared in the first half was more because Vieri and Ronaldo's personal abilities were really outstanding, as well as Tony's physical condition and Larson's keen sense of goal in front of the goal. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether there will be a goal in the game so far.

Due to the wonderful performances of the two teams in the first half, many people are full of expectations for the performances of the two teams in the second half!

However, many fans are also worried that after a crazy first half of the attack, the head coaches of both sides will choose to act conservatively in the next game because they are worried about conceiving the ball in this final game.

However, these fans' concerns soon disappeared with the beginning of the second half, because the players on both sides did not concede a large number of goals and became conservative. Instead, as time went by and the game deepened, they became more and more active on the court!

The reason why Vicenza chose to attack has been analyzed before, so I will not mention it here; the reason why Fiorentina did not choose to counterattack defensively, but played against the opponent was mainly because the Vicenza offensive continued to ferment so continuously, and whether the defense line could be so strong and not make mistakes should be put on a big question mark.

After all, players are also human beings, and people will make mistakes. So no matter how indestructible a line of defense is in the eyes of outsiders, it will be a very fatal matter if a mistake occurs.

Therefore, the unreasonable way to break through the wing, like Vicenza, directly crossing the center, is the most troublesome thing for Fiorentina, because it really tests the ability and concentration of the two central defenders.

Vicenza still used this simplest and most brutal tactical style in the second half, and was persistent like Fiorentina's cross in the penalty area; Tony and Larson competed with Nestas over and over again in the penalty area for the landing point of the ball, competing for every opportunity to form a shot.

I have to say that Vicenza was very lucky. Shortly after the second half of the game started, they changed the situation on the court with such an offense!

In the 58th minute, Odo received Kanchersky's return pass and then made a high pass. Stam headed the ball to clear the ball but Barak grabbed the ball's landing point. The latter shot directly from the outside of the penalty area. The ball hit Maclalele's leg and created a change of line, causing Tordo, who was ready to change his save posture and blocked the ball outside the goal.

Because Toldo's save was quite in a hurry, the ball was not thrown under him, but bounced back into the penalty area. At this time, Larson once again appeared at the landing point of the ball. The Fiorentine players watched the Swedish forward score five meters in front of the goal, rewriting the score on the field to two-to-one!

At this point, Vicenza finally overtook Florence on the scoreboard!

In the unfavorable situation of being reversed by the opponent, the Fiorentine players did not look much panic and were not anxious because of the backward score. Although Purple Lily was very few in the past two years, the rich experience in the game made up for this, making the players realize that only by playing steadily can they better play Fiorentine's strength advantages. Therefore, after the game restarted, the Fiorentine players steadily launched an attack towards Vicenza's goal!

Vicenza was in a period of fatigue after nearly an hour of rushing and fighting. The attack ability of the wing began to decline, which led to the threat of the offense being far less than the beginning of the half.

With one increase and the other deterioration, Fiorentina, which had regained the advantage in the 68th minute, tore open Vicenza's defense through a continuous pass from the frontcourt, and completed a fatal blow by Ronaldo, who had missed a single shot opportunity before, pulling the two teams back to the same starting line!

After equalizing the score, Fiorentina did not relax, but planned to take the difficult opponent in front of her and completely kill the suspense of the game!

In the 72nd minute, Fiorentina received a free kick in the frontcourt. Redondo, who was in charge of taking the penalty, suddenly passed the ball to Carlos on the edge of the wall. The latter shot hard from a small angle on the left, but the ball was blocked by Balotta, who was quick to react, with his legs!

In the 77th minute, Effenberg suddenly took a kick and volleyed vigorously at 28 meters away from the goal. Barotta flew to save the situation. Onopko showed his level as a first-class central defender this time, and kicked the ball out of the baseline in time before Vieri's shot!

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to die, Capello and Guidolin immediately began to deploy troops on the court.

The former replaced Kancherski, who had excessive physical energy consumption, moved Odo, who had insufficient defensive ability, and at the same time replaced Ambrosini with Cois to strengthen the defense in the middle of the court; the latter replaced Yönbery with Iranian international Mada Wikia, and then replaced the slightly silent Marklele with Zanetti.

Perhaps for insurance reasons, neither head coaches used up the last substitution quota, but kept it in their hands in case of emergency.

In the subsequent time, although players on both sides created some opportunities, unfortunately these shots did not become a goal they urgently needed.
Chapter completed!
