In this way, during the 15minute intermission when Ancelotti hesitated, it was wasted. Seeing that the halftime game was coming, Ancelotti chose the safest solution in his opinion, that is, let Seedorf retreat more to support baronio in the game, in this way to crack the tactics of Florence.
Until the end, Ancelotti didn’t dare to let Paolo Maldini take on the offensive responsibility of baresi in AC Milan. After all, Mark’s defensive ability in fullback and central defender position is indeed the world’s top, and his insight into the game and his grasp of the situation are also firstclass. However, his longball ability is far from that of baresi. In Anpang’s eyes, if Paolo Maldini shares the possibility that baronio will be directly stolen by Florence players, it is difficult to play a highquality counterattack and pose enough threat to Florence.
It’s not that Ancelotti hasn’t thought about the same tactics to deal with Florence, but after watching the battle and watching the players sitting on the substitutes’ bench, he found that the only reliable defensive midfielder actually had Ambrosini, so he gave up this planif Ambrosini was allowed to keep an eye on Ballack, the defense of AC Milan midfield would be completely ineffective, which is not what Ancelotti wants to see.
Seeing that Ancelotti chose to let Seedorf retreat to solve the immediate dilemma, Mourinho smiled twice and took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to call Zambrotta, who was closest to him, and asked him to tell Gattuso that the original plan would remain unchanged and keep an eye on baronio. Never mind the Dutchman, just let him take the ball. Anyway, when he plans to play the ball, our defense will already be arranged.
Mourinho knew that although Seedorf’s retreat solved the problem of baronio being stared at by Gattuso to a certain extent, it also well sorted out the order of AC Milan’s backcourt, and enabled the Rossoneri to regain a stable outlet and organizer who were used to the organization’s core postplay, but Seedorf’s habit of stopping and watching before considering the ball was very deadly in the face of a team like Florence, where the speed of defense and replenishment was quite fast.
Clarence Seedorf deserves the title of master midfielder. His skill, strength and observation are firstrate among midfielders of the same type, and he also has a good longrange shot. However, his weakness of returning the ball with two feet was exposed in the match against Florence. Therefore, although AC Milan broke Buffon’s goal twice in the superstrong attack combination of Andriy Shevchenko and Kaka at halftime, Florence also got a lot of counterattack scoring opportunities because of Seedorf’s slightly slow pace of the game and the increased distance of the ball after the Dutch retreated.
Dinatale and Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal at halftime and both played hat tricks; Ballack, the core of the organization, scored a world wave in the 15th minute. So when Luo Saidi blew the whistle at the end of the game, Florence finally beat AC Milan 52 at the San Siro Stadium, taking away three points from this powerful enemy and at the same time ruthlessly retaliating against Berlusconi for his wild words to Florence before the game, giving this big mouth a loud slap!
It seems that AC Milan is not our opponent in Florence even though we have half a set of main teams now. Watching our own players celebrate the great victory and come to the scene to watch Zhuang Ge stretch his body easily and say to the blue Berlusconi, Silvio (Berlusconi), I sincerely hope that you can remember a little longer and be more cautious when expressing your opinions in the future, otherwise AC Milan will have to face Florence, which is a main team and has a stronger desire to win.
Chapter 139 Break up in discord
I think you are threatening me, Chairman Corleone? I’m sorry that I’m never influenced by this kind of trick. Hearing Zhuang Ge’s words, Berlusconi’s face turned darker because of the team’s fiasco at home, and he couldn’t help but fight back.
To be honest, Berlusconi really didn’t expect the other side to hold such a grudge. Just because he was dissatisfied with his speech in an interview before, he set off such a huge situation in China, and finally forced the Italian Football Association to come forward to calm the matter.
Judging from what the other side just said, it is obvious that the Fiorentina president did not agree to let him and AC Milan go because of the mediation of the Italian Football Association, but chose another way to attack them, that is, to fight back one victory after another when the two sides directly confronted each other. At the same time, Florence spokesmen also cited a lot of detailed data to prove that AC Milan was far less competitive than Viola because of their poor business philosophy and transfer luck, which was not what Berlusconi claimed, but because Florence relied on their financial advantages to dig around other teams to make Viola have far more strength than other Serie A teams.
According to the data released by the media survey, after entering the 21st century, the ability of Florence and AC Milan to spend money in these five seasons alone, whether in terms of total salary or transfer expenses, the Rossoneri are even stronger than Florence!
Didn’t you say that Florence was too strong to destroy the suspense and balance of Serie A? Didn’t you say that we got to where we are by poaching others? Why can’t AC Milan do this by spending more money and burning more money than we do? This is not too unreasonable!
As soon as this problem emerged, what Berlusconi said in the interview immediately became untenable, which also seriously affected Benitez’s credibility in front of the public. Therefore, when AC Milan was slaughtered by Florence 52 at home, it was hit by Florence outside the stadium and bombed by Zhuang Ge language. Berlusconi finally could not bear the pressure to vent his anger at Zhuang Ge.
Do you think this is a threat to President Berlusconi? I have to say that you don’t respect yourself and your AC Milan too much. Zhuang Gewen smiled lightly, but the tone exuded contempt and stupidity. I was just telling the truth. If it was AC Milan ten years ago, it might be really threatening for me to do so. However, now this Rossoneri is not worth doing such a demeaning thing. I just want to remind you that if you want to play football, you should play by the rules honestly and don’t try to play any tricks in private.
Chairman Corleone, what do you mean? ！” Those who hear Zhuang Ge’s comment that he is as shrewd as Berlusconi can’t resist his surprise, and his voice can’t help getting louder. If you explain it to me clearly, I have the power to sue you for libel in court …
Don’t talk nonsense, President Berlusconi. According to the Constitution, parliamentarians enjoy full freedom of speech and action. Institutions and individuals require parliamentarians to explain their remarks. Besides, haven’t you really noticed some of your recent moves? Zhuang Ge turned his head and stared at Berlusconi, saying word for word, Members affiliated with the Power Party (Berlusconi formed the party) recently declared at a meeting that Italian clubs have separate contracts with TV stations, which is beneficial for the Italian Football Association to package and sell Serie A broadcasts, which has seriously damaged the interests of the clubs. Can you tell me what this is all about?
I am not thinking about the interests of our giant clubs? Berlusconi directly answered Zhuang Ge’s question: According to the current distribution method, even if AC Milan wins the league championship for one season, the broadcasting income is only 450,000 US dollars; And if we AC Milan can negotiate with the TV station alone, then the video broadcast income will reach 60 thousand dollars every season! Why should I share so much money with those small clubs? If this part of the income is dominated by our big clubs, then the overall strength of the team will definitely reach a higher level!
… your vision is almost as short as your forehead hair. It is found that Berlusconi is still opinionated, and Zhuang Ge has lost his desire to continue talking with the other party. Generally speaking, the current broadcast sharing scheme of the league will never change. If you are going to continue to be stubborn, then you can do it. I will wait for good news in Florence.
Zhuang Ge knows that there must be many bosses behind Berlusconi who secretly support them. These people must have the same intention as Benitez and are unwilling to package and sell the broadcast for nothing. Those who are not so good in strength are also thinned out and belong to their benefits.
Although the situation doesn’t seem so beautiful, Zhuang Ge is not worried that he will try his best to establish this distribution scheme, which will be jointly attacked by Florence and Juventus when these people oppose disintegration.
Mo Lao Fox is selfish, but he is not stupid. Once someone opens a door for him to the new world and shows him that it will be more beneficial to Juventus’ development, Moggi will definitely stick to this road and will not care about other people’s lives, even if this person is their ally for many years.
Therefore, in such a situation that the other party can’t afford much trouble, Zhuang Ge really wants to see who are greedy idiots who will be short of people after enjoying the benefits of the current broadcast distribution scheme for so many years, and support Berlusconi’s idea of killing the goose that lays the golden egg.
Chapter 1391 Overtaking and Being Overtaked
Since you have taken so many benefits and are greedy, you are always shortsighted and trying to defend your own interests and try to break the existing rules, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. Looking at Berlusconi’s unhappy face, Zhuang Ge thought.
We should know that the Serie A will be sold in the summer of 24 years, but it will be sold for as much as 200 million euros in the next three years. The signing of this huge broadcast contract has greatly improved the financial situation of all Serie A clubs, so that Serie A clubs have to climb out of the crisis of the bursting of the economic bubble at the turn of the century. There is no previous scene in which many clubs fell into serious financial crisis (such as Rome, Lazio and Parma) and even went bankrupt (such as Florence) due to the bursting of the economic bubble.
In addition, the Prodi government and the Italian Football Association have jointly promoted the Serie A clubs, and now they have obtained their own home embassies and reforms (Milan and Rome have a common stadium club to share these benefits equally), further improving the economic foundation of Serie A clubs, so that these clubs still have enough financial resources to strengthen the team array in the depressed European transfer market.
If that package and sale scheme of league broadcast is not implemented, but the club is allow to negotiate with the TV station alone, then the top three teams in the North and the top teams such as Florence and Lazio may get a paper from the broadcaster that far exceeds the current income, but other Serie A clubs may be severely priced by the broadcaster because of their lack of star flavor or visibility, and they will have to sign their broadcast contracts at a figure lower than the normal market price. Only then will Zhuang Ge feel more angry at these baiwenhang’s crossing the bridge. AngerBerlusconi can make a scene. After all, the current broadcast distribution scheme sacrifices part of the interests of AC Milan to some extent, and it is understandable that he will be dissatisfied with it. But after so many benefits from this distribution scheme, Old Sensi and Gallo (President Sampdoria) are you two qualified to jump out and make irresponsible remarks on this matter? !
Zhuang Ge’s attitude towards these guys who are thinking about their own interests, regardless of other people’s lives and deaths, is very accurate, that is, if they dare to reach out, he will dare to chop all these claws and throw them back!
Just as Zhuang Ge waited patiently for someone to jump out and die so that he could make an example, Florence had already ended its tworound battle with Arsenal with a total score of 41, eliminating the gunners and advancing to the semifinals of the Champions League with head held high!
Although Wenger had to sell team captain Vieira to Juventus last summer in exchange for the necessary funds to maintain the normal operation of the club, which had a great impact on the team’s strength, Arsenal’s strength was not underestimated because other key members were still growing up with young players such as Fabregas, Van Persie and Eboue in the 34th unbeaten championship season.
Ice King Bergkamp is in his prime, and Highbury King Henry, with the support of Pires, Van Persie, Ljungberg and other teammates, played no less than 34 in the peak season and led the gunners to the Champions League.
Unfortunately, however, Arsenal met Fiorentina on the way to the semifinals. Although Wenger and Arsenal players said in interviews before the game that they had rich experience in winning the championship, they were not afraid that Fiorentina was confident enough to beat Viola to advance to the semifinals, but in fact, not many people thought that the gunners had the hope of eliminating Viola, which was only to create some trouble for each other.
After all, it can be said that we have a lot of experience in dealing with Arsenal, a strong and weak team, Florence, especially the gunners’ defense line is far from as stable as it was two years ago. Campbell and Lehmann are getting older and older, and ashley cole is also entangled in the renewal of contract with Arsenal, which makes Arsenal’s defense line one of the best in the Premier League fragile.
To make matters worse, I don’t know if it is fate that Mourinho discovered Wenger’s tactical body as in previous lives, that is, Arsenal lacked a strong commanding height in the penalty area, so in the two rounds of the match with Arsenal, the Portuguese decisively offered a defensive counterattack solution, and the defensive forces were all in the middle, resolutely not infiltrating Arsenal’s middle road and trying to compress the gunners!
The result of Mourinho’s choice of blocking and letting go is the lack of a powerful center. How much threat does Arsenal Genfa pose to Florence’s goal? Facing Florence’s steel defense line, which is like moving the Great Wall, it is used to solving the battle through largescale interspersed running, crosstransposition and cutandmatch. It is difficult for Henry and others to show their offensive in narrow activities. Most of the balls from the flank are easily cleared by Florence players in the restricted area
In this way, in the face of Florence’s highly targeted tactical arrangement, Arsenal tried to make a breakthrough in the European War. Once again, they lost their lives in the Champions League. The last Champions League trip of Bergkamp, the ice king, also regretted that they failed to win a big ear cup and bid farewell to their gifts.
Of course, the defeat of Arsenal and Florence also paid a corresponding price. Due to distraction, Florence was drawn by Rome in the 32nd round of the league, resulting in Viola being defeated by Juventus in the standings, which successfully surpassed Juventus and fell to the second place!
Juventus fans who have been waiting for this for more than half a season are naturally excited. Although the Bianconeri are only two points ahead of Fiorentina at present, it is enough to make them happy for a long time to finish the overtaking with only six rounds left in the league.
However, Juventus fans were not happy for a long time, because in the 33rd round, Florence once again defeated Juventus at the Alpi Stadiumafter the Italian Super Cup, Zebina once again became the chief culprit of the team’s defeat. In the 77th minute of the game, he took the lead and gave Milito a singlehanded goal, and the latter also seized this rare opportunity and successfully scored the only goal of the two teams in the game!
So after 33 rounds of the league, Florence once lost the top spot and returned to the top position again, leading the standings with a slight advantage!
Chapter 1392 The situation is lang
Beat Arsenal and Villarreal in the Champions League semifinal; Beating Juventus away from home and regaining the top position in the league, two strong dialogues a week, the result of Florence’s victory has given everyone a new understanding of Florence’s fighting capacity and completely exhausted the energy of Florence players.
So three days after beating Juventus with a goal, Florence was defeated by Inter Milan 20 at home in the semifinal of the Italian Cup, and withdrew from the competition for the Italian Cup title, which also announced the disillusionment of Viola’s dream of triple crown in the season!
Many Fiorentina players are very reluctant to accept this defeat. If the Italian Football Association and UEFA had not arranged such a deceptive schedule for them to meet strong opponents in just over two weeks, they would definitely have the opportunity to win all the championship trophies at the same time, and they would never have been eliminated from the Italian Cup by Inter Milan because of the physical overdraft of the main players.
However, Florence fans are very concerned about the team’s defeat in the Coppa Italia. Although they also want to see the team achieve the triple crown again, they also know that the triple crown is a rare thing for a club, and a strong array and sufficient bench depth are only part of the conditions for being crowned with the triple crown. Good luck and relaxed schedule are also important factors to determine whether a team can complete this epic.
Obviously, in Florence, although the strength of the main team is strong enough and the depth of the bench is the firstclass in Europe, and the luck is quite good (in February and March this year, the misfire of the main attacker coincided with the outbreak of Inzaghi), but their schedule was too hard. In less than 20 days, Viola not only met Milan, Rome and Juventus in the national arena, but also fought in the Champions League and Arsenal twice. This schedule was simply horrible.
For a week, even if each opponent is still the kind of opponent who won the enemy without trying his best, a club will have to take off a layer of skin even if it doesn’t die when it encounters such a devil’s race.
However, in the face of such a deceptive schedule, Florence has achieved four wins, one draw and one loss in these six strong dialogues, and only lost to Inter Milan in the last game due to lack of physical fitness. Therefore, even the most demanding fans have to admit that it is really a remarkable achievement for Florence to hand over this answer sheet.
After this devil’s race, Florence’s next race is much easier. After getting out of the Coppa Italia, Viola now has to deal with two battlefields, the Champions League and the League. There is still hope that Florence’s player allocation will go hand in hand on these two fronts.
The most important thing is that in the last five rounds of the league, none of Florence’s five opponents has the ability to cause trouble for Viola’s title race. You know, the strongest of these five teams is Palermo, the second street vendor, and the rest of the water, such as treviso, Chievo, Reggina and Empoli, are struggling in the relegation line. The possibility that they will overturn Florence is extremely slim.
Although it is not ruled out that these teams will take the iron drum array and defensive counterattack strategy to deal with Florence in the game, they have long been accustomed to being treated like this by their opponents. Florence players are not at the sight of tortoise shells, and they have long been aware of how to deal with this situation, such as fully facilitating the longrange shooting outside the restricted area in the frontcourt, and the largescale interspersed running of frontcourt players.
On the other hand, Juventus is one point behind Florence in the standings. The Bianconeri will face Lazio, a powerful opponent, in the 35th round of the league. Once something happens in this game, Juventus can directly prepare for next season’s journey.
Therefore, all the Juventus fans who are paying attention to the schedule of the Fiorentina League have no hope of the Bianconeri winning the championship. After all, it is too slim to let Fiorentina capsize in these teams.
Things developed as expected, and Florence took the rotation tactics to easily get rid of treviso and Empoli, two opponents, and won two consecutive victories in the league; Juventus, which has been out of the Champions League, lost the key battle with Lazio in the thirtyfifth round of the league after struggling to beat Cagliari.
In this way, in the 56 season, there are only three rounds left in Serie A, leading Florence in the standings, and it has achieved a fourpoint lead, which means that Florence and Juventus have been fighting for the league title for more than half a season, and at this time it has finally become prosperous.
After learning this news, Florence’s morale was naturally boosted. After all, although Mourinho insisted on rotating the team during this period to ensure their competitive state, it is obvious that the physical consumption of Florence players in the previous devil’s race was so great that they still failed to recover to their best state until now.
Therefore, the news that Juventus lost at home is suspected to have given a shot in the arm to the Fiorentina players who are also approaching the limit, and also allowed Mourinho to become more abundant in the next lineup.
Although the situation is better for Florence now, neither Mourinho nor Fiorentina players are taken lightly. After all, there is a saying that many teams are ahead of the finish line all the way, so Fiorentina players naturally let Viola repeat the mistakes of these teams and give Juventus a chance to turn things around.
