Two goals behind, weak attack and full of loopholes in defense … This situation has made many Barcelona players who experienced the Champions League fiasco three years ago recall their forgotten fears.
No way! Nothing can make this happen again in Barcelona! With this in mind, Guardiola intends to make the formation retreat a little, and to compress a backcourt less. The defensive line is always successfully broken by that hateful Ronaldo again and again.
However, not everyone in Barcelona agrees with Guardiola’s idea. Several players in the frontcourt, such as Figo and Enrique, have not experienced the fiasco personally and do not want to give up. They are eager to get back the score and continue to attack the Florence defense in the frontcourt.
As a result, Guardiola didn’t expect things to happen-the frontcourt players were burying their heads and attacking while the middle and back court players were planning to shrink. The disagreement between the two sides directly led to a serious disconnect in Barcelona’s field formation!
"There is nothing to watch in this game. The Barcelona formation is completely out of touch." Seeing this, Zhuang Ge couldn’t help smiling. "If Fan Jiaer doesn’t make adjustments as soon as possible to make Barcelona players agree, unless there is an emperor, Florence will win the European Super Cup."
Fan Jiaer, the European coach who led Ajax youth team to the top, can’t fail to see that the team is now in trouble. The Dutchman shouted on the sidelines regardless of the image and asked everyone to continue to press the attack and not to worry about defense!
In Fan Jiaer’s view, since the team is now behind the score, it is better to put a lot of pressure on the attack because it is afraid of losing the ball and shrinking the defense to lose the last chance to make a comeback. Anyway, there is no difference between losing one goal and losing ten goals in this decisive game.
Although Fan Jiaer’s idea is very good, he ignores a very important point, that is, the psychological state of Barcelona players at this time
When Ajax coached, Fan Jiaer handball players were either veterans with high professionalism like Rijkaard and Blind, or young people with low expectations, such as Kluiwitt and Delport brothers, so they would carry out Fan Jiaer’s tactical intentions even if they were arranged by head coach Fan Jiaer. However, in the eyes of Barcelona players, especially those former members of the "Dream Team", Fan Jiaer has not enough prestige to convince them of their tactical adjustment in adversity.
Imagine how many players would agree with the coach’s seemingly dead tactical adjustment when the opponent scored two goals in a row, resulting in the team falling behind two in the field and the head coach’s prestige in the team is still insufficient?
Anyway, those defensive players will definitely not be happy with Fan Jiaer’s adjustment
For example, when Ronaldo and vieri flirted with each other for the first half of the game, Nadal was extremely dissatisfied with Fan Jiaer’s demands. If he was not a professional player with a good quality and could control his emotions, I’m afraid those players with a hot temper would have been there to scold him and attack him. Besides attacking, what haven’t you seen? How embarrassed I have been by these two Fiorentina strikers? Can’t you think of ways to strengthen a team’s defense?
Nadal is not the only one who thinks so much about a game and eats up Florence to fight back. Baljuan, Rael, Guardiola and others also have the same view in their hearts. After experiencing the glory of cruyff, they are not interested in Fan Jiaer, a foreign country. They say that even a famous old Robson should do well with us local players when he teaches in Barcelona. Who is Fan Jiaer? As soon as you get a bunch of your fellow villagers and the front, you still want them to take our place? Are you tired of living?
However, in this game, Fan Jiaer blindly asked the players to attack without considering improving their defense, which caused greater dissatisfaction in their hearts. Many of them thought that this was Fan Jiaer’s intention to make his own troops take a smooth position through this game instead of winning this game.
Fan Jiaer’s inability to deal with interpersonal weaknesses was exposed in this game. However, due to his stubbornness and lack of necessary communication and exchanges with players, Fan Jiaer’s iron-fisted method of governing the team has just caused dissatisfaction among the team’s elders.
However, it is even less likely that Nadal will obey Fan Jiaer’s orders and play the game according to their own ideas.
Florence players couldn’t help but be overjoyed when they saw that some Barcelona players didn’t listen to the head coach’s arrangement but still insisted on their own ideas to play football, which led to a serious disconnect in the overall formation. Isn’t this a chance for us to further expand the score? !
Take advantage of your illness to kill you. This is one of the main points that Capello and Ranieri taught the Fiorentina players.
Faced with such an opportunity, the Florentines will naturally not let go easily. They immediately stepped up their efforts to grab the attacking players of Barcelona. At the same time, vieri and Ronaldo in the frontcourt also adjusted their positions to receive the ball from the backcourt more easily.
In the 72nd minute, Figo dribbled the ball on the right, which was intercepted by Davis and Carlos, and then Florence launched a quick counter-attack. Although Barcelona players contracted the defense line to curb Ronaldo’s speed, they lacked strength, but they lost again in the face of rampaging vieri. After pulling out of the restricted area, the Italian new generation center turned around and volleyed with his left foot to score a goal to rewrite the score by three points!
In the face of three goals behind, Barcelona players don’t choose to attack heavily, but after ten minutes, they are attacked by the substitute big Inzagli and the score becomes bloody four!
Finally, when referee Merck blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score was fixed at four to one! When the game entered injury time, rivaldo Li scored a face-saving goal with a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt, and a quite beautiful Italian goal.
In this way, Florence, the champion of the Champions Cup, beat Barcelona, the winner of the Cup Winners’ Cup, at the Louis II Stadium! Wang Zhongwang in European football for the third time in a row!
Chapter 542 The opening of the league
Florence beat Barcelona 4-1 in the European Super Cup final, which made people recall that it was not so far away in the 1994 Champions League final.
In that final, Barcelona was called "dream team" by Catalan media, and AC Milan was killed by wounded soldiers, and finally ended in a fiasco of four.
Although the Super Cup final is not as good as the Champions League final in Athens, it can be seen from the starting lineup and live broadcast of the game between the two teams that the two sides absolutely did not release water in the game.
It is precisely because of this that Barcelona was once again ridiculed by the Madrid media. After this fiasco, Barcelona President Nunez once again carefully considered whether it is really a life-threatening thing for cruyff to build ikiaka tactical body …
At the press conference after the game, Fan Jiaer severely criticized Florence, saying that their tactics were simply to put a bus in front of the goal, and the style of the game was too ugly to deserve the name of the strongest team in Europe.
"I think Mr. Fan Jiaer should manage his players before judging me in Florence." To people’s surprise, Capello did not get angry because of Fan Jiaer’s fierce remarks, but changed the subject quietly. "I believe everyone who watched this game knows very well how Barcelona players performed on the court after we led by two goals."
Capello’s words hit the nail on the head of Fan Jiaer, the Dutch coach. Of course, he knew that Barcelona players were in violation of their orders.
Although he was annoyed that the players didn’t listen to the instructions, Fan Jiaer didn’t intend to make this problem of the team department public. After all, the public team department was contradictory in front of the media, but it was taboo. Therefore, the Dutch came to secretly show a rectification movement after the press conference to establish his prestige in the team department.
However, Fan Jiaer didn’t expect Capello to directly pick this matter at the press conference!
Fan Jiaer can already predict what articles will be published in major sports newspapers after Capello said this, and what comments will Barcelona elders who are dissatisfied with him make on themselves during interviews.
I have to say that when getting along with big-name stars, Fan Jiaer is definitely the worst among all the top coaches. The group has had conflicts with many big-name stars in his coaching resume, which has affected the team’s record and led to conflicts with rivaldo and Figo in his first coaching in Barcelona. Second Palace contradicts Riquelme; In the later period of Bayern’s coaching, he became strangers to most of the stars such as Ribery and Luo, and was finally driven out of the team by the top management of Bayern.
Like crazy Mourinho, although many people don’t like him, few players he coached spoke ill of him, except for the real Madrid gang …
Even Capello, who is called "Iron Blood", doesn’t walk high and low everywhere and make enemies everywhere like Fan Jiaer.
However, what kind of dilemma Fan Jiaer will face in Barcelona is nothing for Florence. After the European Super Cup, Florence will fly back to Italy to prepare for the first league match of the new season in a week.
A week later, on March 31st, Serie A ushered in the first round of the 1979 season. The Italian Football Association specially arranged the opening match of the new season between defending champion Florence and Houdusse.
At home, Houdusse didn’t make much changes in the starting lineup. Zaccheroni, an offensive madman, discharged the extremely extreme attack formation of 3-4-3.
In Houdusse’s starting eleven, the center position is still German bierhoff, and on his sides are Brazilian Amoruso and native striker Poggi; The midfield led by Danish Martin Jorgensen and Houdusse’s defense line composed of tulsi and Hellwig have not changed this summer.
It is not surprising that Houdusse, who has always been a small business, kept all the main moves of the first team this summer. After all, this summer, the Football Association passed the league reform bill under the pressure of professional leagues, which forced him to fine-tune the club’s business strategy to a certain extent.
Although Houdusse still tends to look for cheap young people and train them to strengthen the depth and overall strength of the team’s bench, in order to ensure that the team can maintain sufficient competitiveness in the increasingly competitive Serie A arena, the team will not be financially punished by the professional league for its "poor performance" in the future, so the old Pozzo did not sell the main players of the team at a high price as in previous seasons.
After that, Houdusse, let’s look at Florence again
In order to get a goal and give the team a good start in the new season, Capello has sent the main force in the middle of the team without reservation-Florence will still face a three-line battle this season. If we can’t try our best to get points while the players are relatively abundant in physical fitness, then Viola will face a very passive situation in the sprint stage in March and April.
Goalkeeper toldo’s four defenders are Roberto Carlos, Stam, Starr and Zambrotta in turn from left to right. The main reason why Houdusse’s German bomber has a high advantage is too obvious. What kind of bullying will be caused by this German center if Millara doesn’t start …
In midfield, Rui Costa, Davis and tommasi, two guys who are nicknamed by his teammates as immortal, are responsible for protecting Lei Dongduo behind the Portuguese, and as always, they appear in the back position and form a dual core with Costa in front to control the team rhythm.
After sitting on the bench for two consecutive times, batistuta, the Argentine god of war in the forward line, finally won a starting place in excellent training, and his partner was filippo inzaghi, the golden boot of the season league.
A powerful center plus an opportunist, and a master like Costa behind him, it is obvious that Capello intends to fight back against Houdusse in the first game of the league.
When the players of both sides are in good positions on the court, the referee looks at his watch and then blows the whistle in his mouth to announce that the opening match of Serie A in the new season is official at this moment!
