So after learning the good news from Starr, the enthusiasm of Florence players in training has increased a lotwith such a captain who is willing to fight for the benefits of his own people, they naturally have to be positive.
After all, even chiellini, a supernumerary player who has been loaned out by the team for exercise, can be recommended as a member of the Italian national team after attracting Starr’s attention with his excellent performance in Parma. So why can’t they be called by the national team when their ability is obviously better than that of chiellini?
In this way, with the help of this deal with Capello, Starr’s prestige in Florence’s locker room has increased by a lot, and the team’s cohesion and enthusiasm for the game have also increased a lot, and such a change has won many benefits for Florence’s next game
Now let’s turn our attention back to the stadium. At this time, Serie A has been played for 30 rounds in 56 seasons, and Florence still occupies the top position in the standings with 26 wins, two draws and two losses.
Although Florence’s bench depth is the first in Serie A, Viola’s record fluctuated in March due to the influence of the thirdline war. It was very difficult to eliminate Bremen after relying on the weak advantage of the away goal. Viola lost too much money in the 29th round of the league at the weekend and tied with Cagliari at home.
Fortunately, Juventus also had a similar situation after the Champions League match. In Florence, the away game was drawn by Cagliari, while the Bianconeri held a goalless draw with AC Milan at Alpi Stadium. Unfortunately, they once again missed the opportunity to overtake their opponents.
Although Florence and Juventus both ended the momentum of scoring points in the league battlefield because of distraction, both teams have already scored a full ten points at this time, leaving the other ten teams far behind, even AC Milan, which ranks third in the standings, has already fallen behind the two teams by more points and lost hope of winning the championship.
This situation not only excites the fans of Florence and Juventus, but also worries other Serie A teams. After all, there are still a full round before the end of the league, so Florence and Juventus have achieved such a huge lead that a team that is interested in winning the championship feels desperate.
Therefore, some outspoken bosses, such as Sensi and Berlusconi, said in an interview that the firstclass strength of Florence and Juventus has seriously affected the balance of Serie A. The Italian Football Association should find ways to restrict these two clubs. Otherwise, Serie A will turn into Florence and Juventus sooner or later and lose its due appeal.
Although we always compete with each other in secret at ordinary times, this time, whether it is Zhuang Ge or Mo Lao Fox has maintained a high degree of agreement on this matter. It’s interesting that President Berlusconi said that we did our best to build a competitive array for the team, but no one learned our signing strategy and accused us of undermining the balance of Serie A here? Hardworking workers don’t get the rewards they deserve, and those who spend money recklessly make the team make ends meet make irresponsible remarks behind their backs. Is this what they call fairness?
The pursuit of Serie A is to ensure that all teams can benefit together on the basis of fairness and justice. Seeing that Florence and Juventus, the two giants, expressed strong dissatisfaction with this matter, the Italian Football Association quickly came out and publicly criticized the inappropriate comments made by Sensi and Benitez, which completely settled this matter. Florence and Juventus are the best in Serie A teams and their strength is also the top in Italian clubs. All Italian clubs should study their management methods well instead of accusing those clubs with good financial conditions after they have been burdened with heavy wages.
In this way, Florence ushered in the 31 ST round of Serie A, and Viola’s opponent just caused Florence a big trouble outside the stadium. AC Milan!
Chapter 137 Before the game
In the 1990s, Fiorentina and AC Milan, the overlords of the new and old generations of Serie A, met each other every season, which naturally led to a bad relationship. However, although the two clubs have played against each other on various fronts over the years, it is natural to have grievances, but in general, except for the season when Sacchi coached Milan, the atmosphere between the two teams was not as tense as that of Florence and Juventus, and most of the time they remained in a relatively safe range.
However, this time, when Berlusconi made a statement in the media that Florence’s strength was too strong, which affected the ornamental football association of the league, the evaluation of AC Milan by Florence players once again fell to the bottom. As Zhuang Ge said in response to Benitez’s remarks, Florence has achieved what it is today because they have worked hard bit by bit on the court over the years. How can they be punished because they work harder and are more careful than others?
Look at AC Milan. Although the Rossoneri’s player allocation is the firstclass level in Europe, AC Milan’s salary level is also the firstclass in Europe. Compared with Florence, AC Milan spends nearly 20 million euros less on salary every year. This situation is mainly due to Galliani’s wrong strategy in signing the team. AC Milan does not have a definite salary. Signing free agents and famous veterans can save a lot of transfers, but AC Milan has to pay these players more than other players in the same level. At the same time, a reasonable salary system has not been established, which makes the salary increase rate of AC Milan players always at an unscientific level.
It is easy to raise salary but difficult to lower salary. AC Milan has actually paid a lot of money in the transfer market and contract renewal negotiations in the previous two years. Therefore, in these two aspects, the total salary of the Rossoneri is always in a high state, which has brought great pressure to their finances and has been losing money for many years in a row.
Since Florence has been criticized for its efforts to maintain profitability and competitiveness, why has no one criticized AC Milan for doing worse in these two aspects? Florence players will feel very wronged and unhappy every time they think about this.
Therefore, when the players found out that the opponent of the team in the league turned out to be AC Milan, everyone’s fighting spirit was aroused, and they planned to take practical actions to teach Berlusconi an unforgettable lesson, so that the guy who had healed the scar and forgot the pain knew what disaster came from his mouth!
Mourinho is quite satisfied with the players’ state. In fact, the Portuguese can’t wait for Berlusconi to make some similar remarks every day, so that he doesn’t even mobilize before the game, and the players are already full of desire for victory.
Carlo Ancelotti knows very well how much trouble Benitez’s remarks about Florence will bring to AC Milan’s match with Florence tonight. After all, Florence’s revenge is the strongest in Serie A. Sacchi insisted on making Milan players turn a blind eye to players from Florence when he coached the Italian national team, which completely annoyed Florence. As a result, when Sacchi retired from the position of national team coach and picked up the Rossoneri coach again, AC Milan was slaughtered by his opponent in the first match with Florence this season!
Carlo Ancelotti remembers clearly that the fiasco of 70 not only completely shattered the Milan dynasty, but also announced the end of an era, and kicked Sacchi out of the top coaches. Naturally, Carlo Ancelotti didn’t dare to be careless about this game. In case AC Milan was bloodbath by Florence in the game as at that time, then it must be the team coach Anpang Berlusconi who would not admit that this fiasco was brought about by his big mouth.
Dida, jankulovski, Paolo Maldini, Grandoni, Cafu, Seedorf, baronio, Ambrosini, Kaka, Gilardino and Shevchenko are the first players in AC Milan, and Ancelotti had to do his best to selectively ignore the Champions League quarterfinal scheduled for next week.
On the other hand, the situation in Florence is different from that in AC Milan. Similarly, there is a Champions League quarterfinal in the middle of the week, and Viola chose to keep her strength in this game to deal with the threatening Arsenal. Therefore, Mourinho adopted a rotation strategy tonight, and had to comfort the main players who were in the starting lineup before the game so that they could sit on the bench and watch the performances of their teammates.
Buffon, Heinze, thiago silva, Starr, Sun Jihai, Derossi, Gattuso, Ballack, Ribery, Dinatale and Cristiano Ronaldo are the eleven starting players of Florence in the roundrobin tournament. I have to say that it is very courageous and adventurous to take so many main players off in this facetoface dialogue between Florence.
Hey daniele (Derossi), why don’t you explain to us how you guys quietly got the starting spot from the head while we watched you on the bench against that annoying AC Milan? Derossi was just about to walk out of the dressing room when Pirlo and Lucio pulled him into the corner with a smile on his face, but it was full of danger in lighting and shadow rendering.
Er, two big brothers, I’m koo. It’s the boss’s decision. I didn’t say anything to him. Derossi couldn’t help shivering when he noticed the strange smiles on Pirlo and Lucio’s faces, and explained at once.
However, Derossi’s explanation was obviously not recognized by Pirlo and Lucio. Finally, after other players died, their eyes were dragged into the dressing room, but they didn’t know what kind of special treatment Derossi would receive
Chapter 13 aims at
Seeing that Derossi was dragged into the dressing room by Pirlo and Lucio, the other players were shocked at first, but soon they reacted with a kind of gratitude and implicit envy. After all, Derossi was treated like this by Pirlo, saying that Derossi has a considerable weight in the heart of this big boss. Although Derossi has not played the main force until now, it is not surprising that Derossi will definitely be better in Florence.
Therefore, the cry for help from Derossi was ignored or stopped, or if possible, they all wanted to replace Derossi as the person who was dragged into the dressing room by Pirlo.
Twenty minutes later, when the players from both sides walked out of the players’ tunnel and the referee Luo Saidi motioned for their own half, Gattuso, who had been behind Derossi, finally could not bear his curiosity and said his doubts, daniele (Derossi), what’s the matter with you? How did Andrea (Pirlo) and them make this look?
In Gattuso’s eyes, Derossi’s face now looks like a sapling that has just been ravaged by a typhoon. Gattuso will be curious about what Derossi and Pirlo are talking in the dressing room and ask this question.
… When Derossi heard that Gattuso had a problem, he turned around and said slowly after staring at the other side. Well, Reno Andre told me that if we want to beat AC Milan in this game, we must find a way to stare at baronio so that they can sort out the rhythm and organize the offensive in the rear. Only in this way can we beat the main force against AC Milan in the case of rotating more than half of the main force.
If you don’t have a problem with daniele, why don’t you leave it to me? Hearing Derossi’s words, Gattusoma patted his chest and responded to this matter. If I keep an eye on baronio, even if there is no way to finish keeping an eye on him, it will greatly affect his play, and you and Michael (Barak) need to play more fulltime roles in keeping an eye on baronio. Let me do it.
Although from the appearance, Gattuso always gives people a bold and rough impression, in fact, this guy is not stupid at all, and he knows his role in Florence. He knows that although Derossi was promoted to the first team later than him, this one is much more important in tactical position and future prospects, so Gattuso is very happy to get on well with Derossi and help him solve some problems.
What’s more, Gattuso is responsible for this kind of dirty work, and he is the employee to keep an eye on baronio. Moreover, Gattuso has now figured out that Pirlo will say this to Derossi in private, and there must be Mourinho’s instructions. Otherwise, even Pirlo will be severely punished without authorization.
Although it is unclear why Mourinho didn’t say it directly before the game and made such a big circle, it is obviously the best solution for Gattuso.
Then please, Reno. Obviously, Derossi also thinks Gattuso’s strategy is quite feasible. You just need to keep an eye on baronio, and I and Michael will take care of the other defenses.
No problem. Gattuso and Derossi took their positions on the court while smiling confidently, waiting for Luo Saidi to blow the whistle. Then let’s get together and give that abusive guy a profound lesson!
So after the game, baronio became the most depressed person in the stadium. In Gattuso, it was difficult for the midfielder to catch the ball easily and organize the offensive, and at the same time, the operation of AC Milan in the middle and back court became sluggish and messy
Although the tactical concept of putting the organizational core behind has only been formally formed by coaches such as Carlo Ancelotti and Heinquez in recent years, similar tactics have already appeared in European football. For example, during the Milan dynasty, the core of the Rossoneri’s frontcourt attack was indeed gullit and Basten, but in the rear, the offensive command post had a precise long ball besides the black swan Rijkaard, and baresi was also a very important point.
The problem of AC Milan now is that they don’t have another outlet in the backcourt except baronio, or after baronio’s metronome was put away by Florence’s tactics, Ancelotti’s weakness of onthespot adjustment ability was limited and magnified. He couldn’t find a second outlet to share the pressure of baronio’s organization.
Although both Seedorf and substitute Rui Costa have this ability, Grandoni played a similar role when Zeman was in charge, but Ancelotti always felt that it was not safe enough and always wanted to see if there was a more secure solution. When this precious adjustment was delayed, Ancelotti wasted it.
In this strong dialogue, a moment’s mistake may ruin the team’s efforts in the whole game, not to mention the time when the head coach has not given a solution. Therefore, Ancelotti’s slow adjustment on the spot resulted in Gattuso breaking baronio’s foot ball twice at halftime and launching a quick counterattack on the spot to help Dinatale and Cristiano Ronaldo score a goal in front!
On the other hand, AC Milan, despite the Rossoneri’s efforts to turn the situation around, made it difficult for them to get the ball and push the front line into a sufficiently threatening area. On the contrary, because baronio was repeatedly intercepted by Gattuso, he had to retreat frequently to help defend, which naturally put less pressure on Florence’s gate.
In this way, when the halftime game ended, Florence played away and sent more than half of the substitutes. Florence unexpectedly led AC Milan by two, and the game situation was excellent!
Chapter 139 Victory
At halftime, the atmosphere in the dressing room of the home team where the AC Milan players were located was dignified, including coach Carlo Ancelotti. At this time, everyone looked seriousthey were all thinking about how to free baronio from the trembling with Gattuso and make the team run smoothly again.
From the current situation, it is obvious that Ancelotti has not found a way to break the game, or that the way he has thought so far is cautious. Ancelotti feels that it is still not safe enough, so he should think more about whether there is a safer strategy.
I have to say that it is a good habit to seek stability in everything, but it also depends on the actual situation. The reality is that baronio has got rid of Gattuso’s stalking and being repeatedly tackled by the other side in the half court, which makes Maldini and others often have to face the direct impact of Florence attackers, which leads to great defensive pressure on the Rossoneri’s defense line, and also brings trouble to Kaka and Shevchenko in the frontcourt to play on the offensive end.
So for AC Milan now, the method of constant change is obviously not feasible. Only by taking the initiative to change and giving it a go can AC Milan recover two goals at halftime, even if it is possible to complete the reversal.
After all, in AC Milan, although baronio plays the same role as Pirlo in his previous life, that is, the Rossoneri’s metronome and organizational core, compared with Pirlo, baronio is not inferior in terms of ball vision and insight into the game, which are difficult to quantify. The gap between them in these aspects leads to the fact that when baronio faces Gattuso’s defense, it is always impossible to transfer the ball for the first time by strengthening cooperation and the number of balls. It can be dealt with through personal skills and Gattuso’s oneonone fight.
If Pirlo is the one who Gattuso is watching, AC Milan’s operation in the game will still be affected to some extent, but it will definitely not become this miserable situation, because Pirlo can shift the ball to the most suitable teammate’s foot according to the situation of the game to avoid Gattuso’s marking, thus ensuring the normal operation of the team
