"Well … because my girlfriend also came to Monaco to watch the game this time, I made a guarantee in front of her yesterday, saying that I would definitely score today." vieri said with some embarrassment after hearing Batty’s question.
"get out! You are a heterosexual and inhuman guy! " Buddy laughed and scolded, and then they went to the center of the court to prepare the ball while the referee watched.
Since both sides of the European Super Cup match are from Italian teams, UEFA has less worries about the selection of referees and created more eye-catching topics. The day before the game, it was announced that the referee of the final was also from Corina, an Italian famous whistle, and the other two assistant referees and the fourth official were also from Italy.
But it can be said that except that the venue is Monaco and the winner can take away a championship trophy after the game, this game is almost no different from an ordinary Serie A.
Corina looked at the players’ positions on both sides, then aligned a watch, then put the whistle in his mouth and blew hard!
Florence and Parma European Super Cup finals are official!
Chapter 36 European Super Cup (3)
"The game! Batistuta took the lead and gave the ball to Rui Costa behind him! The Portuguese midfielder didn’t push the ball. He returned the ball directly to effenberg! "
According to Capello’s pre-match arrangement, Florence players plan to take advantage of their technical advantages, control the rhythm of the game and suppress their opponents before attacking Parma’s goal!
Parma coach Carlo Ancelotti is not stupid. He has studied these players in Florence. He naturally knows that there is a big gap between Parma and Florence in midfield-although brambilla, Stanic, sansini and dino baggio can be called the first-class in Serie A, they are much inferior to Florence’s midfield.
Lei Dongduo, Davies, effenberg and Rui Costa form a midfield, which can be thrown out of Parma for one block, which is higher than Parma’s midfield in terms of technology, competition experience and personal ability.
What’s more, Fiorentina is still sitting on the bench with stars like Dibiagio, djorkaeff and tommasi. Can Parma be adjusted accordingly according to the situation? It’s the limit that they can come up with such a starting midfield …
Zhuang Ge has always believed that the Tanzi family didn’t actually have a strong belief in building the club into a giant like the late former Sampdoria boss paolo mantovani when they were in charge of Parma. They were satisfied with their good results and occasionally won several championships.
Throughout the 1990 s, Parma showed weakness in the team, that is, the thickness of their midfield was too weak to be like a team aiming to win the championship
It is understandable to say that Parma’s lack of midfield before Bosman Act was limited by foreign aid quotas. After all, no one could be perfect in those days. However, after the Bosman Act was implemented for a whole year, Zhuang Ge is still puzzled by this problem. He has reinforced both the front line and the back line. Why does Parma ignore his midfield? Carlo Ancelotti had to rob Peter to pay Paul and move sansini to the back position.
It was because of the gap in midfield that Parma players fought back according to the head coach’s deployment of shrinking defense lines after the game.
Parma’s move coincided with the Florentine players’ intention to take the offensive initiative. They took over the area after Parma gave up midfield control and benefited their excellent foot skills. They kept passing the ball back and forth and let Parma players force it.
At the same time, they also mobilized the Parma defense line through these passes to find a chance to make a fatal blow.
Dino baggio, the main midfielder of Parma, is indeed a valiant soldier, otherwise he could not hold the position of the main midfielder of the Italian national team with albertini for six years in history, but even if he is brave and brave, he will be unable to face the joint impact of Costa and effenberg.
Sansini, his partner, has just changed from a central defender to a midfielder. Obviously, the Argentine veteran has not adapted to this new position, and there are still many problems in defense, which is why dino baggio is so flustered.
It is very depressing to have such a consciousness around you to sell teammates in dino baggio.
**** *w*w*w**** ***o*m
The Fiorentina players are not fools, and they soon discovered this. They constantly attacked sansini’s defense zone in various ways.
Just six minutes after the game, Rui Costa took the ball obliquely into the left side of the restricted area. sansini was too far behind and didn’t stick to the other side. As a result, the Portuguese seized the opportunity and took a long shot. Unfortunately, the ball hit Thuram and refracted and flew out of the baseline.
Two minutes later, Florence made a comeback to face effenberg’s assault. This time, sansini learned a lesson and rushed to defend the tiger, but effenberg and Costa easily played a frontcourt. After one second, they broke through the Argentine defense. Batty received a direct plug from effenberg and leaned against Thuram. He turned and volleyed the ball slightly off the column. Parma escaped again.
In the eleventh minute, Lei Dongduo inserted the ball before luring Stanic to grab it, then sent an oblique ball from the back, and Carlos cut the middle road after receiving the ball, and was responsible for defending this area. sansini did not choose to grab it, but stepped back a few steps to guard against the other side’s breakthrough.
Carlos took a look at the other side and no one came to rob him. He decisively swung his left leg and volleyed vigorously at a place 30 meters away from the goal!
The ball roared like a shell, flying to the Palma Gate!
Sansini was surprised when he saw that he was defending his opponent from breaking through. He didn’t expect this little Brazilian to dare to shoot directly from this position. I haven’t seen him play like this last season …
Of course, at that time, Bianchi and Hodgson, the two coaches of Inter Milan, strictly prohibited Carlos from doing this. Carlos was not the kind of player who didn’t arrange players from the coach’s tactics. If you told him not to do this, he would really quit. Capello obviously wouldn’t make such a foolish move. He specially formulated a set of tactics to break the deadlock and iron bucket array according to Carlos’ characteristics.
So sansini was cheated by his own experience. At this time, he could watch Carlos kick the ball from his left and fly straight to the square gate.
Seeing that the ball was about to enter the net, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Parma’s goal when Carlos had smiled triumphantly! Holding the ball out of the baseline with one hand, it fell hard on the turf!
It’s gianluigi buffon! He saved Palma just before the goal was about to fall!
"Is … parma teenager gianluigi buffon! Carlo Ancelotti, the new coach of Parma, tried his best to draw a young goalkeeper from the youth team! The 17-year-old goalkeeper just made a wonderful save. It was his wonderful save that kept Parma’s door open! " The commentator’s drooling did not hide his appreciation for Buffon. "Regardless of Buffon’s later performance, I think all Parma fans should question their main position before Buffon. Without him, Parma will be doomed this time!"
Chapter 369 European Super Cup (4)
After saving Carlos’ volley from 30 meters away, Buffon helped his teammates get up from the turf, then clenched his fists and roared in the direction of Florence’s goal.
Buffon’s domineering four-shooter has two purposes: one is to vent his excitement and let himself better enter the competition state; The second purpose is to shock an opponent and give them the illusion that no one can break Parma’s goal with this young goalkeeper around.
However, Florence players are all experienced figures, especially vieri and batistuta, two strikers who have been in close contact with first-class goalkeepers such as pagliuca, peruzzi and Edwin van der Sar. How can they be intimidated by a young goalkeeper who is unknown?
But sitting in the VIP box watching Zhuang Ge was scared by Buffon’s performance at this time.
"Buffon’s confidence and state were blown out by Carlos’ shot." This is Zhuang Ge’s first reaction after seeing Buffon’s excited expression. Of course he knows Buffon’s value. After all, this is a player who has always been rated as "worth fifteen league points" by fine Moggi!
Zhuang Ge didn’t plan to buy the unknown Buffon from Parma before, but the position of goalkeeper is different from other positions. The particularity of this position is that often a good goalkeeper can play for a whole season, and the time left for the substitute goalkeeper is naturally rare.
At that time, Florence already had excellent goalkeeping skills in the goalkeeper position, and toldo was very famous. Even if Buffon came, he wouldn’t get too many chances. If he forcibly righted Buffon without proper reasons, it would be strange if toldo didn’t lose his temper …
Look at the current turmoil in Real Madrid goalkeeper. It’s not that Diego Lopez is not good, but that he and casillas are both too good. Throwing one of them on the bench will cause dissatisfaction to the other, but Cassie’s position in Real Madrid is much higher than Lopez’s, so when he sits on the bench, it will cause so much controversy.
Zhuang Ge’s fear seems to have unfortunately come true. In the following games, Florence launched many attacks, including many good shooting opportunities. However, although Batty and vieri escaped the blocking of Parma defenders, Buffon, who was in front of the goal, became an insurmountable barrier for Florence players.
In the 15th minute, Zambrotta played a two-to-one match with effenberg on the right. In the golf ball, batistuta forced Cannavaro to throw his head at the penalty spot and hit the ball directly into the dead corner of the goal. However, this attack was still in Buffon’s arms just on the ball flight route.
In the tenth minute, Rui Costa pulled the ball around and rushed to grab sansini, then sent it straight before dino baggio arrived. Sevieri rushed to get in front of Thuram and shot angrily. Buffon fell to the ground to remedy vieri’s powerful shot and saved it from the bottom line. vieri screamed at the sky.
Just two minutes later, Florence once again tested the quality of Buffon’s goal. After Lei Dongduo scored the ball in the middle, Roberto Carlos pushed forward at high speed along the left side of the stadium, breaking through the defense of Stanic and Zemalia and giving the ball to batistuta in the middle.
After getting the ball, Buddy didn’t turn around and shoot in a hurry, but his body held down behind him and tried to interfere with his turning around and shooting Thuram, and then he returned the ball to the top of the arc in the restricted area. He inserted it from the midfield, effenberg dumped sansini, stared at it and swung his right foot, which was a shot, but the ball was still firmly in Buffon’s arms.
"I don’t know if I came to sansini from the game for the first time because I played the position of the midfielder. Whether it was defensive position or seizing the opportunity, there were repeated misjudgments …" The commentator of the game was very dissatisfied with the performance of the temporary guest midfielder sansini. He thought that it was too much help to Parma in the defensive area or in all ways, but it repeatedly became a breakthrough in Florence’s attack. "If it wasn’t for the bad luck of Florence players and Ancelotti’s support for the young goalkeeper Buffon’s excellent performance to block Buddy and others from shooting several times, Parma would definitely have been in the game less than 20 minutes.
Zhuang Ge also agrees with the commentator’s point of view. In his view, not only sansini, but also Parma’s right is the main attack direction of Florence.
Although these two players, Stanic and Zemalia, have good personal abilities, it is undeniable that both of them have just joined Parma, and they have never played in the Italian league before. It is difficult for them to have some uncomfortable situations in the face of a team of this level in Florence, and these are the advantages of Florence.
However, what depressed Zhuang Ge was that after Ancelotti grabbed the position of the main goalkeeper from Butch, Buffon played an abnormal role in this game, but he just didn’t let the ball roll into his own door.
"Piero Della Francesca (daughter of Palma boss callisto Tanzi) seems that Palma has cultivated a great newcomer this time." Zhuang Ge sighed after seeing Buffon once again heading vieri close at hand and firmly holding his hands.
Good selection, excellent skills, and calm handling … Buffon, who is only ten years old, can show this level of ability in the competition. No wonder later, when peruzzi, toldo, abbiati and other door gods firmly occupied the Italian No.1 country for more than ten years,
"Haha, is Antonio jealous?" Piero Della Francesca is in a good mood at this time to see that the team has trained new people. "But Antonio, let’s be honest. Florence is already the best in Europe. Besides, you already have a top goalkeeper like toldo in your team. Don’t come to Buffon’s idea."
"Er, Piero Della Francesca, you think too much …" Zhuang Ge smell speech is very sweaty. He said that he really didn’t plan to kidnap players from Parma this time. How can he let the other party associate this with a word of appreciation for Buffon?
Zhuang Ge certainly doesn’t know that his vicious vision has been quietly flowing in European football for a long time, making several young players favored and honored by Florence, and such a reputation is quite fatal in the eyes of those football club operators.
Chapter 37 European Super Cup (5)
Just as Zhuang Ge tried to explain to Piero Della Francesca that he had absolutely no illusions about Buffon, the stadium had already ended the half-court competition. Although Florence took the initiative by virtue of the player’s technical and personal abilities, because of the excellent performance of teenager gianluigi buffon, Florence failed to score a goal in the past 45 minutes.
According to the statistics of the half-court, Florence made as many as 19 shots in the first 45 minutes, of which 12 were shot in the goal range. If the shooting accuracy had been normal, their opponents would have raised the white flag and surrendered. Unfortunately, Florence players met Buffon possessed by their souls today. During the half-time, the game commentator summed up the half-court. Compared with Parma players, their performance was not good. Except for the state of God Van Buffon, there was hardly another Parma player worthy of being on the court.
"Cannavaro and Thuram’s defensive ability is really first-class in Serie A, and their playing styles are quite complementary. Ancelotti’s move looks really wonderful, but he obviously forgets that this arrangement will make Parma’s defensive ability plummet to a new level."
"Parma players should thank Buffon. If he hadn’t taken the high position and the low position, the warship Parma would have been slapped to death by Florence on the beach before it set sail."
Just as the commentator was expounding his point of view, the fifteen-minute intermission had passed, and the players from both sides re-entered the players’ tunnel and went to the stadium to prepare for the half-game.
Capello and Ancelotti didn’t adjust the team by changing players in the past fifteen minutes. The reason why the former didn’t choose to change players is very simple. After all, the whole half of Florence has an absolute advantage. In this situation, what Capello needs to do is to adjust the players’ emotions and ensure that they can play normally in the next game instead of thinking about how to change players. After all, Florence doesn’t need to change players. The latter did not change people, which made people somewhat puzzled. This point of sansini was almost blown up by Florence
However, after the half-time match, the sharp-eyed Zhuang Ge immediately found that Anpang made some tactical changes during the intermission, even though he didn’t adjust the team by changing people, that is, he withdrew sansini’s position from the midfield to the defense line and changed the formation to five, three and two.
Hehe, Anpang, the substitution adjustment, which has been criticized by people, originally showed signs from this time, thought Zhuang Ge.
On the surface, Ancelotti’s adjustment has made sansini return to his position as a centre-back. Together with Cannavaro and Thuram, the three centre-backs can withstand the offensive of Batty and vieri. At the same time, the three centre-backs configuration can effectively liberate the attack power of Benarivo and Zemalia. This adjustment is indeed killing two birds with one stone.
But this leaves Parma with three players in midfield, especially dino baggio in the middle!
