Chapter 1252 Historical changes
Florence was very excited by the result of beating AC Milan with four goals at home. After all, the gap between the points of Florence’s second place after winning this strong dialogue has reached more than thirteen points!
You know, there are only five rounds left before the end of Serie A this season, which means that Fiorentina should score three points in the last five league games, so Viola can successfully defend Serie A and win the championship trophy!
Florence is naturally very satisfied with this situation, especially since the head coach Heinz has decided to give these young players more games in the next few rounds of the league, so that they can further find their own shortcomings from actual combat and improve their strength better and faster, so they don’t have to stay in the training base behind closed doors every day.
Carlos and vieri and other veterans did not express different views on this, but accepted Heinx’s arrangement happily. They also hoped that the young man would stir up the beam as soon as possible so that they could have more time to recover and rest.
Compared with the cheerful Florence players, the AC Milan players who suffered a 40 defeat on the road seemed a little distracted. What did the Maldini people not react to so far? Will this seemingly unequal contest end in failure?
Is Florence too strong or are we too weak? Unconsciously, this fiasco has buried an insecure species in the hearts of AC Milan players, which will gradually grow and sprout over time and give the Rossoneri a heavy blow again at the crucial moment!
In Zhuang Ge’s previous life, the team that was stronger than AC Milan was repeatedly reversed by the opponent in these seasons, from being led by Super Laco and scoring four goals magically, to that impressive Istanbul night, and then being inextricably killed with Barcelona, but finally losing a move in the 56 th season … It is hard to say whether the fiasco against Laco brought too heavy psychological shadow to AC Milan players, which made them play such a broken scene at every key moment in the next few seasons.
In this world, although AC Milan escaped the fate of being bloodied by Laco away from home, they lost to Florence in another key game with the same score. It is really unknown whether the result of this game will have the same impact on the Rossoneri in the future.
At the same time, with this fiasco, Carlo Ancelotti managed to stabilize his position and falter again. He put up with the idea that the team was killed by Fiorentina in the league, and Berlusconi called the brain trust to replace the team coach after the season …
At the same time, Carlo Ancelotti is trying his best to revive the players’ morale and prevent the team from losing in a row after this heavy fall, which will drag down their performance in the Champions League.
Yes, although AC Milan’s hope of winning the league title has become very slim after the failure of this direct dialogue, in the Champions League, they also reached the semifinal with Florence, and it is very promising to meet in the final. Therefore, they are looking forward to ensuring that the team is in the second place in the standings and focusing on the Champions League to bring the big ear cup back to Milan City.
Unlike the league, which emphasizes stability and bench depth, the probability of unexpected events in the Champions League is higher, because the knockout rounds like this are easily affected by some unexpected events, thus changing the trend of the game and giving the weak side a chance to defeat the strong enemy.
Strength can’t determine the outcome of the game in advance. Time, place, people and even illusory luck may have an unpredictable impact on the direction of the game. Everything can happen before the final whistle. This is one of the reasons why football can become the first sport in the world.
Therefore, in Ancelotti’s view, if the team can concentrate on the Champions League and add a little luck, there is no small hope of winning the big ear cup.
Here, it is said that Porto, the helmsman of Mourinho, failed to reach the semifinals of the Champions League in this life because of the butterfly effect brought by Zhuang Ge, and AC Milan successfully reached the semifinals with Florence and Monaco Chelsea.
That’s right, everyone is not mistaken. Although Chelsea didn’t get the support from Abramovich, the thickness and overall strength of the ruble array were much worse than those of previous generations, Ranieri still led this blue team to the semifinals, which really made people look at this tinker with new eyes.
You know, Ranieri became one of the top coaches early in this life by virtue of his impressive record in coaching Florence, but he failed to make brilliant achievements in the last few seasons, and his performance in leading the team has also been falling all the way. By this time, the tinker has faded from the aura of champion coach and fallen into the ranks of secondrate coaches in Europe.
Now, after Ranieri’s interest rate led this person to be optimistic that Chelsea would make it to the semifinals of the Champions League, the tinker’s ability was once again recognized by people. Many people wondered if it was unfair to evaluate Ranieri before.
After all, I’m afraid that whoever coaches that seemingly powerful but actually worried about foreign invasion is not much better. There is no need to pour all the dirty water on Ranieri.
As a result, Ranieri has fallen to the bottom of the valley, and her hope is gradually rising. It is foreseeable that if Chelsea can make a further progress in the Champions League or produce a glamorous report card in the Premier League, the tinker will once again become the target of the European giants as before!
However, in order to achieve this goal, Ranieri must lead his team to defeat Chelsea’s opponent in the semifinal of the Champions League, that is, his old club Florence. Otherwise, Ranieri is afraid it will be difficult for him to rise to a higher level.
After all, at this time in the Premier League, Wenger and his Arsenal are heading for the unbeaten championship goal in the season. All the English clubs are covered by the brilliance of the gunmen, not to mention the crisisridden Chelsea.
Chapter 1253 Fight back
Fiorentina fans left Frankie Stadium at 9: 00 pm on April 21st, because Viola failed to take Chelsea, which was troubled by financial crisis, as expected in the first leg of the Champions League semifinal, but drew with Ranieri in 90 minutes!
Heinks is also quite resistant to this result. Although he had imagined that Chelsea would defend against the counterattack in this game before the game, the Lord also designed a corresponding solution, but he didn’t expect Ranieri to be so shameless as to give up the word counterattack directly. From the beginning of the game, he put a bus in front of the door and took a draw at Frankie Stadium!
Although Florence has no shortage of broken iron barrel array weapons, such as Pirlo setpieces, longrange shots by Ballack and Derossi, and vieri’s powerful destructive power on the opposing defense, these can help Viola effectively deal with Chelsea coach tactics, but unfortunately, Florence is really unlucky today. Most of their setpieces and longrange shots are either out of the goal range or destroyed by Chelsea players in the middle, which is difficult to form an effective threat to the Blue Army goal.
The most important thing is that Florence players are still unlucky in this game. The goalkeeper who didn’t make much difference in Italy soon became the main goalkeeper of Chelsea after coming to the island of Great Britain on the other side of the English Channel. His excellent performance forced him to leave de goey, the No.2 country in the Netherlands at that time. In this semifinal of the Champions League, Cudicini played the key role in Chelsea’s retreat from the away game. The Italian goalkeeper not only commanded the stadium, but also made the team’s defense more airtight, and blocked all the balls leaked by his teammates.
Even Inzaghi’s shooting in front of the door was sealed by his single hand. It is conceivable how good Cudicini is today.
Of course, if we want to judge the biggest contributor to Chelsea’s away draw with Florence, it must be Chelsea coach Ranieri. If the tinker had not formulated a set of highly targeted defenses before the game to contain the Florence offensive well, it would be absolutely impossible for Chelsea players to resist Viola’s fierce attack only by their personal play.
This game not only made people know Cudicini and Ranieri again, but also made many people realize the fact that vieri, the ace of Fiorentina striker, has slipped from the peak and no longer has the terror dominance on the offensive end.
If this is not the case, then when Florence’s setpieces and longrange tactics can’t play the game, Viola can also use vieri’s personal ability to deal with the opponent. After all, vieri’s destructive power to the defense line at its peak is terrible. Almost no defender can successfully defend this Italian tank in a oneonone situation. Even two or three defenders can’t stop him together.
Now that Chelsea have successfully defended vieri only by young Terry and old desailly, it is enough to say a lot.
It is foreseeable that if Florence’s ability to overcome difficulties after vieri’s old age is solved, it will become a difficult problem that Heinks must solve this summer.
