So on the evening of October 15th, Capello sent a surprising starting lineup at Frankie Stadium.
Goalkeepers toldo, Carlos and angloma are separated. Lala and Stam partner with central defenders Lei Dongduo, Rui Costa, effenberg and ze Roberto to form a four-midfield striker, while Ronaldo and Inzaghi partner.
Not to mention whether Liverpool defenders can cope with the two dexterous strikers, Ronaldo and Inzaghi, this starting midfielder alone has scared everyone who is used to Capello’s tactical play.
"Lei Dongduo, Costa, effenberg and Zerroberto … None of the four midfielders in Fiorentina’s starting lineup actually has a full-time defensive engineer midfielder Capello. What happened today?" It took a long time for the commentator to get the starting list to react. As a professional commentator, he was not shocked by Capello’s choice and made the commentary cold. "Evans, Liverpool’s gorgeous attack is famous in the Premier League, and this time at home, Florence has also set a starting line that pays more attention to the attack. It seems that there will be a wonderful opponent’s battle at Frankie Stadium tonight. Blessed are the fans."
The course of the game was indeed as predicted by the commentator before the game. Immediately after the referee blew the whistle, the two teams fought fiercely at Frankie Stadium!
Except for Fiorentina, who lives on the offside line, the other ten players are all excellent in technology, so the player who took the lead in playing the ball in Fiorentina is constantly shifting the ball on the court. A lot of ball running and fast ball will fool the Liverpool players on the other side-they have never seen a team that can play the game like this!
Well, it is no wonder that Liverpool players feel uncomfortable. After all, they have not played many European competitions in the past ten years, and they have all won the UEFA Cup. It is normal that they have never seen such a tactical play.
Although Liverpool players play offensive football, they are much worse than Florence in controlling the ball-Liverpool’s attack depends more on the players’ personal speed and breakthrough, and they are not good at controlling the rhythm of the game.
Therefore, Florence has a greater advantage in technology, and it is easy to control the rhythm of the game and play Liverpool players around on the spot.
If so, it’s all right. Evans can also order Liverpool players to shrink the defensive speed and break through the opponent’s defensive counterattack … But the most terrible thing is that Evans Liverpool is not good at defense or Evans people don’t pay much attention to defense and think that relying on strong attack is enough to solve their opponents.
So in the face of Florence Liverpool players who are much stronger than them in both offensive and defensive ends, this time it is a complete tragedy
Fiorentina, who holds the ball, first succeeded Inzaghi by being offside in the 13th minute of the game. Then, in the 32nd minute, the alien Ronaldo played another cut-and-run position and broke through Carragher and Matteo, a pair of central defenders, who took Costa’s oblique volley and scored a goal to rewrite the score by 2-0!
It’s only been half an hour since the game, and the Red Army in Europe once fell behind by two goals at Frankie Stadium!
Chapter 55 Liverpool ()
After all, in the past decade or so, the Red Army was first banned by UEFA for a long time, and it was hard to wait until the five-year ban passed, but because the team’s upgrading affected their record, they didn’t have much chance to play against strong teams outside England.
In other words, this Liverpool team, from coach to player, lacks enough European experience and lacks confidence to beat their opponents when facing a better team.
If the draw of La Liga champion Real Madrid in the first round of the group stage gave Liverpool players a lot of confidence, then the current situation that European overlord Florence easily led their own team by two goals in just over half an hour made the Red Army players completely lose their confidence in winning away from home.
"Liverpool is no longer the experienced, calm and mature king’s division twelve years ago, but now Liverpool is just a lonely and wealthy family that indulges in the glory of the past." Just when Zhuang Ge suffered from Liverpool, Florence scored again, and this time it was still Ronaldo.
Fiorentina players first disturbed the Liverpool defence with a continuous kick in the frontcourt, and then Cecil Roberto put the ball straight into the middle. Inzaghi’s horizontal movement attracted the attention of Carragher and Matteo, which made the aliens easily break through the middle defence of the two men. After receiving Zeroberto’s ball, he swung over david james with a pendulum, pushed the shot and succeeded in extending Florence’s lead by three goals.
The score of 3-0 was kept until the end of the half-game. Liverpool players fled back to the dressing room prepared for them with the ridicule of the home fans. Head coach Evans walked into the player’s aisle with a livid face after the players. He needed to make effective adjustments to the team during the 15 minutes before the game, otherwise the Florence and Italian media might not let him go so easily after the game.
Fifteen minutes later, the two sides fought again easily.
Evans made a substitution adjustment during this period. German striker Riedel, who was transferred from Dortmund this summer, came off the bench and won the award of the best young player in the Premier League last season, michael owen. Capello, on the other hand, did not make any adjustments to Florence’s squad. The Italian coach hinted to the players that he had enough confidence in their ability.
Although Evans was unwilling to admit defeat, he made a substitution adjustment, but his Liverpool team was too young to face this extremely unfavorable game situation. Instead of having an amazing desire to fight, Liverpool players gave up the game vaguely.
That’s how young people form teams. It’s impossible to expect them to adjust themselves in adversity without a spiritual leader to guide them.
Even Manchester United, which has the "Golden Generation of 1992", played the key role when the Red Devils reversed Newcastle, which once led them by more than ten points in the 9596 season, and returned to cantona from a long-term ban. If Beckham and Ryan Giggs are still immature, I am afraid that the end of the Premier League that season will be that Newcastle, such as Shearer and ginola, won the championship …
At present, it is obvious that there is no such spiritual leader in Liverpool who has ever borne the reputation of England captain paul ince, but his Manchester United background doomed him not to be trusted by Liverpool people.
Therefore, the process of the half-court match was almost exactly the same as that of the first 45 minutes. The quick delivery and cooperation of Fiorentina players repeatedly tore the Liverpool defense line. Ronaldo’s breakthrough and Inzaghi’s elusive appearance made Carragher and Matteo, who defended them, have a headache.
In the sixty-fourth minute, Zeroberto stepped on a bicycle in a row on the side and moved away from the counterpoint robert jones. After that, he sent a low flat ball with a high-speed rotation. The ball almost stuck to the turf and flew into the Liverpool restricted area. Because the position of Zeroberto’s goal was easy to cause an own goal, Carragher and Matteo did not make a big foot clearance at the first time, but formed a meat shield side by side in front of the small restricted area, intending to stop the Fiorentina striker behind him and hand over the ball to the goalkeeper for handling.
But Carragher and Matteo obviously underestimated someone’s desire to score goals …
Just as david james was about to reach out and put the ball in his arms, he suddenly found a foot in the ball’s flight path!
Who is this foot? Before James can find out the answer to this question, the ball has been changed by this force!
Even though James made a save at once, it happened so suddenly that the ball was too close to the goal, so James could watch the ball fly into the goal he guarded for the fourth time.
"Four than! Filippo inzaghi! The goal is filippo inzaghi! " The commentator also exclaimed at the incredible shot of Inzaghi. "Although Carragher and Matteo tried to physically stop him, Inzaghi didn’t give up this opportunity. He put his right leg out of Carragher’s legs and touched the ball! This goal is really wonderful! "
Zhuang Ge also applauded the goal in the VIP box. Although Inzaghi’s goal was not as visually impactful as Ronaldo’s goal, it was not inferior in the wonderful degree.
The 4-0 score made Evans completely give up scoring in this game, intending to know that the tide was gone. In the 75th minute, he changed the leading striker robbie fowler and the midfielder Redknapp Jr. to stay in the league for the weekend.
However, shortly after Evans made a substitution, Liverpool had a good chance to score.
In the 13th minute, Rui Costa’s direct ball was intercepted by paul ince, who grabbed the ball. Ince found that there was no good outlet around him, so he immediately sent the ball to Florence with a big foot. Ince was so powerful when he cleared the ball, so he actually flew directly over Lala and Starr’s head and fell behind them!
At this time, there was silence for nearly forty minutes. Owen broke out and started from the middle circle of the court. He forced his unparalleled speed to get the ball and form a single knife before desperately chasing Lala and Starr!
