Chapter 850 Juventus (5)

PS: Continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books do not require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

After the re-telection, Juventus players wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Fiorentina players to adjust their physical fitness and get back their disadvantages through counterattacks, thereby narrowing the gap in the score and even completing the overtake. They did put this idea into practical actions.

In the 32nd minute, Vieri's left foot shot was volleyed by Van der Sar, who came back from the strike, and then the Dutch goalkeeper threw the ball to Zidane, who was standing in the middle of the court, launched a quick counterattack!

Van der Sar's long-distance hand throwing can be said to be unique in European football. His excellent offensive awareness and precise control of the opponent's throwing balls allow him to instigate a quick counterattack from his own penalty area. Therefore, his hand throwing has also evolved into an offensive method for the Dutch team and the clubs he plays for.

The French front midfielder squeezed out Gattuso, who was defending him, and then received a long-distance hand throw from Van der Sar. However, he did not choose to dribble himself, but instead deceived Gattuso with a fake move, and then pushed the ball to Pierro who was wandering around the top of the penalty area!

After receiving Zidane's pass, Piero first hit the ball with his left foot and then turned around and entered the penalty area. However, under the interference of Ferrara's pressing, the athletic ability weakened a lot after returning from serious injury. The Zebra Prince was unable to open enough space to directly shoot, so he could only choose to pass the ball to the center of the penalty area. Kovacevic, who followed up in the middle, wanted to shoot directly, but Stam did not give the Yugoslav center a chance to attack the goal, and cleared the ball from the front of him and cleared it out of the penalty area!

Kovacevic, who is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 79 kilograms, is indeed a good traditional center. If he is put on the La Liga field, which does not pay much attention to physical confrontation and basically does not have a complete defensive system, it is definitely a big killer, but his advantage in Italy is not very obvious, because which of these defenders in the Serie A has not been destroyed by the more distorted power centers such as Vieri and Bati? Not to mention Stam, who trains with Vieri, the big bug every day...

Therefore, in Stam's eyes, just Kovacevic is simply not too easy to defend Vieri during training. After all, the latter is not slow at all in addition to its powerful strength. When Ronaldo and his teammates dribble the ball and break through the wing, Vieri can even keep up with these teammates!

Therefore, when faced with Vieri's more times, Kovacevic was not considered a big deal.

After missing this opportunity to narrow the score gap, booed in the stands, and most of the booed from the visiting team's fan zone - obviously, they were in this way expressing dissatisfaction with Kovacevic who was wasting the opportunity.

After resisting Juventus' counterattack, the Fiorentine players who had been resting for more than ten minutes started to attack again, using their technical advantages to defeat Juventus step by step, and could only continue to use foul tactics to resist Fiorentine's attack.

"Jose, if you were the head coach of Juventus, what would you do to deal with the current situation?" Seeing the team regained the game, Heinkes began to take the exam for Mourinho in the coach's seat. Like Capello, the German coach is now very concerned about training juniors, especially Mourinho, who has no professional experience but has made great achievements in football tactics.

"Well, if I was in Ancelotti's position, I would replace Pierro with Ambrossetti and replace Olisech with Antonio Conte." Knowing that this was Heinquez's examination, Mourinho thought carefully for a while before answering, "The problem with Juventus now is that he can't play the right speed when counterattacking. Although Pierro is a good player, he is not very qualified in this regard and his condition is quite average, but he is not as effective as Ambroseti's.

;In addition, their midfield configuration is also very problematic. Lazio's Nedved and Stankovic are at least both offensive and defensive, while Olisek and Tacinadi cannot provide enough support to Zidane on the offensive end, so choosing to withdraw Olisek and replace Antonio Conte is a wise choice. At least Conte and Davis' back-spinning attack is still very threatening. In this way, coupled with Zidane's organizational dispatch, the threat of the Zebra Legion in counterattack will increase greatly."

"Haha, you're right. This is indeed a way to deal with it." Heinx smiled, commending and applauding Mourinho's idea. "But there is another way to deal with it, that is, replace Zidane and use Henry, and then let Ambrossetti replace Pierro and play on the right side, change the formation and play 433!"

"What? Are you talking about replacing Zidane? This is the core of their organization! Without his organization, Juventus will not be in a mess on the court?" Mourinho at this time obviously did not have the decisive temperament of his previous life. Although he could ignore Pierro, a team leader who did not play much role and always dragged his back, he still did not dare to ignore Zidane's top-notch star.

"Zidane is a top midfielder, there is no doubt about this." Heinkes obviously also saw Mourinho's doubts and explained, "However, if he wants to exert such organizational skills, he must slow down the speed of the whole team to match his rhythm, otherwise it will only have a counterproductive effect - either Zidane cannot find his teammate when he wants to pass the ball, or his teammate is preparing to attack but finds that Zidane's ball has not been passed yet."

"So, what you mean is that Zidane's existence slowed down Juventus' offensive speed in disguise, making the fast counterattack that could have been played become an offside by his own players." Mourinho nodded in a clear understanding, and then looked at Ancelotti not far away. "However, choosing to replace Zidane as the core of the team in this kind of occasion is probably a very test of the head coach's courage. To be honest, I doubt whether Ancelotti has the courage."

It has to be said that Heinx's judgment is quite accurate. Juventus, who is in a defensive position, is basically in a passive state of being beaten. Zidane's existence even gave the Zebras a considerable discount on the success rate of counterattack.
