Chapter 38 Battle of the Twin Towers

(one)

"Damn it! He actually played on the wing!" Derio Rossi couldn't help it. Less than ten minutes into the game, Chen Zhuo launched two breakthroughs and crosses from the left wing. Luca Toni and Ruud van Nistelrooy

Each completed a header, although neither was on target, but this is not good news for Florence.

This is a bit like defending inside or outside in basketball defense. Delio Rossi regards defending Chen Zhuo's incision and long-range shot as the focus of defense, as well as being careful not to foul within 35 meters from the goal and causing free kick opportunities for the opponent.

, so when the Genoa team plays this traditional wing breakthrough and passes from the bottom, the defensive forces deployed on the front will be useless.

No! This must be a feint. He first hits the two wings to open up the breakthrough cross, pulling Florence's defensive focus to the two wings, and then the Chinese unexpectedly cuts inside and shoots from long range. It must be like this! I have made up my mind.

Derio Rossi decided to stick to his tactical arrangements and remain unmoved.

Marchionni, who was successfully defeated by Chen Zhuo twice in a row, was a little bit upset. This man, known as Italy's second right midfielder after Camoranesi, actually lost face in front of Chen Zhuo, who rarely played as a wide midfielder.

, which made Marchionne very unhappy!

The 30-year-old "Italy's second right midfielder" Marchionni's strength is offense and wing breakthroughs. No matter when he was at Parma or Juventus, Marchionni's right wing was one of the main points of attack.

Marchionni, who was hired by Prandelli last season, not only continued his strong assists, but also improved in scoring ability. Marchionni scored 6 goals last season, 11 since his debut in 1998.

The most goals scored in a season.

The reason why he was able to give full play to his offensive strengths last season was because in Prandelli's defensive system of two layers of three defenders and two midfielders, Marchionne did not have to bear excessive defensive responsibilities.

(two)

Fiorentina's two-level three-back composition, the two marking center backs are the 1.88-meter Brazilian center back Felipe and the 1.85-meter Italian native defender Silvestri. The Brazilian is 26 years old and has a closer position.

On the left, Silvestri is 22 years old and is positioned more on the right. Both of them have good experience and physical fitness. Against ordinary teams, they can also play a flexible defense system that combines man-to-man defense and zone defense.

.

The deep-lying central defender is the 31-year-old Danish central defender Krodrup, who is 1.94 meters tall. The three-back system created by Prandelli has a suitable height, weight and age match. This is why Florence has been able to enter the Champions League twice.

Main defense system.

In this defensive system's double midfielder, the 25-year-old Montolivo, known as "Little Pirlo", serves as the organizational midfielder. For Montolivo, he is 1.81 meters tall and only weighs 65 kilograms.

It makes him look thin, but fortunately, with the 33-year-old Zanetti as an engineering midfielder, Florence's door is still relatively stable.

The left wing-back is usually rotated between the 20-year-old Peruvian Vargas and the 20-year-old Italian native Pascual. Sometimes Pascual is also placed at the left back position, allowing Silvestri to play.

For the right back, change to a 4-4-1-1 playing style with both wings flying together.

If it is a 4-4-1-1 formation, Florence's forward forward is Gilardino, and the shadow forward is "Montenegro Messi" Jovetic. If it is a retro 3-5-2 formation, Florence's two forwards are usually

It is Gilardino and Mutu, and Jovetic, the "Messi of Montenegro", appears as a shadow forward or attacking midfielder.

This is the main lineup of Fiorentina, which has entered the Champions League twice. The only shortcoming now is Mutu, known as the "Romanian Viper". After the league match against Bari in January 2010, Mutu was tested positive for erythroblastoma after the game.

Chengyang, surnamed, was found to have taken banned substances and was therefore suspended for 10 months. The suspension lasted from the second half of last season to this season. Fiorentina's offensive power declined in the second half of last season, which was also due to the absence of the "Romanian Viper"

There is a certain relationship.

In this game, Derio Rossi's three backs and two defensive midfielders remained unchanged. The left and right wing backs were Pascual and Marchionne respectively. The Peruvian Vargas was replaced by Derio Rossi.

Sent to partner with Gilardino as a double forward, Jovetic still serves as the shadow forward, with little change. The goalkeeper is the same as in the Pridley era, and the starting one is French goalkeeper Frey.

French goalkeeper Sebastian Frey, who comes from a family of goalkeepers, has twice won the title of "Best Goalkeeper in Serie A", but has never been able to qualify for the French national team. In fact, this is not a matter of strength, but because Frey gave up the Cannes youth training camp.

The move to defect to Inter Milan was an offence.

The Technical Committee of the French Football Association, in order to warn French professional clubs to protect outstanding young players, and also to punish Frey, even though the 30-year-old Frey won the "Best Goalkeeper in Serie A" twice, he was still mercilessly punished by the Technical Committee of the French Football Association.

"Blocked".

(three)

Such a Fiorentina team, which has entered the Champions League twice, did not have a big loss of personnel. In the hands of Derio Rossi, it actually had a poor record of one draw and two losses in the first three rounds, and conceded goals in each game. This

Fiorentina fans and club executives are simply incomprehensible!

However, in Gasperini's eyes, the reason is not so puzzling. Prandelli has already left a deep mark on this Fiorentina team. Many players like Gilardino, Frei, Marchionni, including about

Vitic came here for Prandelli!

Nowadays, with two records of fourth place in Serie A and advancing to the Champions League, as well as the first group stage breakthrough in 10 years, Prandelli went to the national team after becoming famous, and these players have lost their "backbone" and are young.

The players are thinking about transferring to a wealthy club, the older players want a longer contract with higher income, and the substitute players want to play the main role. Each of them has new plans.

In this case, compared with his predecessor, the new coach Delio Rossi has no performance that can convince the players, and he does not have his own direct lineage. Therefore, the players have a mentality when implementing his training plan.

I doubt that if Derio Rossi changes his tactics even slightly, many old players will openly challenge him...

It's not like Gasperini has never encountered this kind of thing. When Fiorentina changed coaches, Gasperini also received a call, but he rejected it without seriously considering it. This kind of team is not ordinary.

The coach can make the next step go smoothly!

Therefore, Gasperini was not timid when facing Fiorentina at home, which had twice entered the Champions League. He directly used the "Twin Towers Formation" that had only been trained for three days and only minutes of actual combat.

The idea that the disease will kill you is obvious.

(Four)

In the 17th minute of the first half, Chen Zhuo indeed cut inside! The double defensive midfielders implemented the "closer" as planned, and Silvestri was ready to intervene in the "sweep". This is what he did in the simulated confrontation!

Florence's defense was tighter, and even right wing back Marchionne followed Chen Zhuo closely, forming a partial four-on-one encirclement!

Chen Zhuo made a big fake move, shaking Zanetti almost off balance, then used his body to push away the thin Montolivo, and forcefully knocked open Florence's double midfielder!

Chen Zhuo's wonderful performance also won warm applause from the audience. Just like when Chen Zhuo was in Hamburg, the charging bugle and the shout of "fire" rang out in the audience. Compared with Hamburg, in addition to the five-star red flag in the stands, there were also

There are a lot more redbud flags.

Silvestri had already blocked the angle. Although Montolivo had fallen to the ground, Zanetti had adjusted well, and Marchionni's arm had already touched Chen Zhuo's back...

If he used difficult moves such as a pendulum pass or a Marseille slalom to get rid of the three-man double-team, it would not be Chen Zhuo but Ronaldo or Zidane. In the end, Chen Zhuo did not choose to break through, but rushed in.

Before being flanked, he passed the ball to the gap on the left baseline...

After passing the ball, Chen Zhuo collided with Silvestri under the attack, and then pulled Zanetti to the ground. He issued a "foul", "free kick" and even a "red card" to the Genoa home fans.

"Send off" was shouted, but the referee remained unmoved and stretched out his hands to indicate that the game should continue. Once a free kick is awarded to Genoa from this distance, it will inevitably cause controversy! But if Chen Zhuo is whistled for a foul, it will appear a little harsh.

Kaladze came in from the left wing at high speed and just used his accustomed left foot to complete the cross near the baseline!

Luca Toni and Ruud van Nistelrooy completed a cross-change in the penalty area. Van Nistelrooy completed a "pick-and-roll" with Luca Toni on the way to the back point, blocking the Brazilian central defender Felli who was marking Luca Toni.

Pepe and Luca Toni completed the header before Danish defender Claude Rupp!

Frei, the best goalkeeper in Serie A, faced the "European top scorer" Luca Toni and the "king of the small penalty area" Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot. He only fully stretched his body to show his good judgment.

Tony's accurate header shot went straight into the post and was beyond the reach of Sebastian Frey!

Delio Rossi rushed to the sidelines and yelled at the referee, meaning that the ball was obviously a foul committed by Chen Zhuo during the attack and knocked down two or three Fiorentina players in a row. The ball should be disallowed as a goal!

The referee blew his whistle and pointed at the center circle, indicating that the goal was valid. After being persuaded by the fourth official to return to the bench, Derio Rossi was still angry and kicked the mineral water bottle away, looking annoyed.

(five)

After the goal, Luca Toni and Ruud van Nistelrooy hugged each other, and Kaladze, who assisted, also ran over to join in the celebration. The cooperation of the three old guys, whose combined age is almost 100 years old, also won a standing ovation from the home fans.

The slow motion on the big screen and the slow motion on live TV all started with Chen Zhuo breaking through and then passing the ball. As the instigator of this goal, Chen Zhuo alone contained the wonderful pass after four other players of the opponent.

This is also the most exciting part of this offensive tactic.

Gasperini was full of enthusiasm. Just like the last game against Parma, Genoa had a firm grasp of the situation from the very beginning. Gasperini's tactical design was fully effective, even though there was only a short two or three days of simulated confrontation.

He was obviously very satisfied with the running-in of this "Two Towers Tactics".

The Hong Kong team players in the stands watched the game carefully. Unlike the previous game where they were pure spectators cheering for Genoa and Chen Zhuogasun, Baggio assigned tasks to all the players in this game. Many players who participated in the European training camp

Each player held tactical paper and colored pens in their hands. Baggio asked them to draw the tactical formations and specific adjustments of the home and away teams. He asked them not only to watch the excitement, but also to see the offensive and defensive differences between the two sides from a tactical perspective.

key points and key people.

Not to mention that this requirement is too high for the players, Baggio found that even the assistant coaches and goalkeeper coaches he brought were difficult to meet! In terms of tactical literacy alone, the level of Hong Kong football players is indeed very poor, but helping them improve as soon as possible

Tactical literacy, this is exactly Baggio's job.

The noise at the scene was very loud. It was not the time to explain tactics to them. During this game, Baggio specially arranged for an assistant coach to shoot a video, specifically to record Chen Zhuo's movements. Wherever Chen Zhuo ran, the camera would follow him.

Later, Baggio will give a detailed explanation based on the live TV recording of this game to let the players become familiar with their "core". (To be continued.)
