Chapter 66 Round 5

Challenge Inter Milan's 17-game winning streak set last season.

Even Florence has never shouted this slogan in front of the media, but there is no doubt that the fact that Florence will become the target of public criticism cannot be changed.

Although football games pay attention to fair competition, for a league, various interest entanglements are always unclear. For example, the three traditional strong teams in Serie A, the north, all have their own interest groups in Serie A. If they shout out, they want to set a new winning streak this season, saying No one is allowed to escort, but Florence's words are different.

When did they turn to be so arrogant in Serie A!

You may not see anything at the beginning, but once those strong teams see that Florence has become successful, it is uncertain that at that time, what Florence will face will be the encirclement and interception.

In the fifth round of the league, Fiorentina will face Rome, the competition for the league championship at home. Although the Red Wolf is not a member of the top three interests in the north, their desire for the championship will certainly stimulate their fierce fighting spirit to stop Florence.

The day before this game, all the top three in the north appeared. AC Milan, which has been invincible for three consecutive rounds, visited Palermo. The Rossoneri, which lacked a major general, finally lost 1:2 away to Palermo and suffered the second defeat of the season.

In the game, Palermo striker Amauri assisted Diana to score after the handball stopped in the penalty area of AC Milan, which became the biggest controversy of the game and was also regarded as a turning point in the game.

At the post-match press conference, Ancelotti first affirmed AC Milan's performance when facing the reporter's question. He said, "Today's AC Milan's game process and interpretation of the way of the game satisfied me. In fact, the team has passed the difficult period of the previous few games. In the first hour of the game, I Our performance was perfect and very balanced between offense and defense. I saw a high-level AC Milan, and I couldn't ask for anything better, but then the referee's misjudgment made the game enter a turning point and changed the whole result.

"We need the referee to be more cautious, not only for us, but also for the whole game. Amaori jumped up and stopped the ball with his arm. In my opinion, this was an obvious foul, but the referee turned a blind eye to it, which made me very angry. We played an excellent game. We performed positively in the whole game and played beautiful football. In our own football, we have speed and desire to win, and Gilardino's performance today is also very good, but now we have to return home with regret, but my determination to win is stronger than in the past.

Galliani and Ancelotti have the same view: "The team performed well and created many opportunities. Sidorf and Pirlo hit the goal frame twice respectively, and the other side also had two goal line rescues. The draw has been a very unfortunate result, not to mention losing. This result is unsatisfactory. There are our mistakes and the referee's mistakes. There is no doubt that the first goal was a misjudgment. Diana's position was offside, while Amauri stopped the ball with his hand. We should not have failed. If the referee had not judged that the goal was valid, we should have won. We did not understand the referee's decision, and we hope that our misjudgment should stop.

Speaking of the future, Galliani said: "The table does not worry me. The team has the strength to catch up. The players have performed well and should not fail today. Remember that we are the defending European champions. We have won the European Super Cup this season and will strive to win the world. In the World Club Cup, I believe we can show stronger motivation and achieve better results.

AC Milan expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's misjudgment, but although the referee's misjudgment did become a turning point in the game, AC Milan also had to blame itself, because there were a lot of opportunities to slip away from the game. If he scored the second goal earlier to "kill" the game, the game would still be this result. ?

Some people may complain about luck. Indeed, Seedorf and Pirlo hit the ball in the same position of the crossbar one after another. Palermo's defender saved the goal line twice. Kaka and Girardino each had a one-on-one opportunity in the first half, but these opportunities were missed again and again, which was not entirely accidental.

Gilardino, who continues not to score, may become the target of media criticized again after the game, but in fact, this embarrassing phenomenon in the league does not belong to Gilardino alone, but to the entire AC Milan forward line.

In AC Milan's striker list, the first is Kaka and the second is Sedorf. In addition, Ambrosini and Nesta have scored, while Inzaghi and Gilardino are blank. Where have Milan's strikers gone?

Inzaghi actually scored a lot of goals this season, but the goals came from the Berlusconi Cup, the Super Cup and the UEFA Champions League. In the league, Pippo has not yet "opened", which is not just a problem for Gilardino.

Before this game, Ancelotti also stressed the benefits of the "Christmas tree". He said: "As a double striker, the front of the midfielder will not be so active and resolute."

But from the data, it is precisely this "Christmas Tree", which transfers the striker's goal to the two front waists, but the front waist as the main goal is equivalent to pulling the team's attack line back 10 meters, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of attack. The lintel in the long shot of Sedorf and Pirlo is indeed close to the goal. , but it is not an absolute opportunity to play through cooperation. In other words, it is quite good for Sedorf's arc back corner and Pirlo's long-range shot to play like this. If a team can only rely on world waves to score goals, it means that there is really something wrong with the team's attack line.

Back to the "Christmas Tree" formation, this formation is invincible in hundreds of battles on the European battlefield. That's because European battles are relatively open. Except for some teams, no one is willing to close the door to play the "iron barrel array". Inzaghi's single striker often can still find opportunities, but in the league, it is completely two different things. Every team knows how to play iron. The barrel array, against AC Milan, the front striker was the first to fall into the sea of people. If it is a double striker, the two strikers can still open their air from each other, and the single striker can only rely on the striker to open the front waist and make sacrifices.

Whether Ancelotti really prefers the "Christmas tree" or not, he has no choice now, because AC Milan has only two strikers available. Ronaldo was injured again after a brief comeback before the start of the season. Now he doesn't know when he will be able to play. Pato has a time limit, but he has to wait until In January next year, under such circumstances, the team will have to deal with the third-line battle. Ancelotti must consider rotation, and using the "Christmas tree" is the only possibility of rotation. However, now the "Christmas tree" can't be rotated, because Kaka and Sidorf also need to rest, and young player Gulkuv can't afford to shoulder the beam for the time being.

The root of the disaster has actually been buried in summer. How is Ronaldo's body and whether it is easy to get hurt? The club knows better than anyone. In this case, why not buy one more striker?

Moge blamed Juventus for selling Sarayaeta. His reason was: "Who only has four strikers now?"

But AC Milan only had three strikers in the first half of the season, and they had to cope with the European Cup more than Juventus. In fact, AC Milan should be grateful for their luck. Inzaghi, who is usually prone to injury, has not been injured until now. Otherwise, the situation will be more difficult to deal with.

The problem came out because of many reasons. A misjudgment may cover up a lot. A team can't play with a group of players with a coach alone. It's time for the club to reflect.

AC Milan's hesitation in the 2006 transfer market still affects the team. The club can only watch Ibrahimovic score for his opponent in the same city, and let go of the super striker Digan, leaving the vacancy may be even more difficult to fill.

Whenever AC Milan's striker does not score, people will think of Degan. Looking at Degan's current madness in Florence, Galliani feels sad. As for what Ancelotti thinks, it is even more unpredictable.

But one thing is certain. If it hadn't been for the outbreak of Kaka last season and the Champions League trophy, I'm afraid Ancelotti would have been out of here.

One trick to eat all over the world!

Ancelotti feels good about himself and believes that his team can do all the miracles.

But an unavoidable problem is that all the energy of the AC Milan senior team has actually been consumed for a long time, but looking at AC Milan's replenishment in these two seasons, it is basically equal to zero. I bought an Oliveira last season, but after a year's tour, it was sent back to Spain. This season Emerson, who introduced it for free, has not shown his strength so far.

And many positions need to be strengthened. Up to now, AC Milan has not made any moves. It is still a commonplace about the goalkeeper. In this game, Dida sat in the stands. Although there were some minor injuries, Ancelotti also had a reason to calm him down. In the first four rounds, Dida played four games for each team. The lowest-rated goalkeeper, but Karachi, who replaced him, is even worse.

It should be said that AC Milan is much stronger than Palermo in terms of overall strength. The control of the situation and the good state of Kaladze and Nesta have not put Karachi to many tests. Karachi is lucky. When Dida is in front of the goal, AC Milan's goal is always in the wind. Di While making mistakes, there will be some wonderful saves in every game, and what about Karachi?

Often as soon as he stands in front of the goal, the ball always flies out of the perimeter of the goal frame, or the opponent rarely gets a chance to shoot. Some people analyze that this is Karachi's goalkeeper. AC Milan's defenders are more cautious and more focused because they are not assured of him. Whether this is the reason or not I know.

But luck can't always be accompanied by a person. Although Dida has long been brave, at least the Brazilian has made a wonderful save in every game, but Karachi doesn't even have such a chance to perform.

There are psychological problems. Gurkuv is too introverted to say what he thinks, but the bigger problem is still at the technical level. After coming to AC Milan, Ancelotti has not given Gulkuv an accurate positioning for more than a year. In between, the Frenchman played all the positions in the midfield, and Kaka stood on the offensive midfield on the first day he joined AC Milan.

Gurkuv's technology has not been finalized. He has many strengths, but also has limitations. He has excellent small skills, strong ball control and physical confrontation ability, long-range shooting, and outstanding physical strength. His disadvantage is that he lacks the ability to move forward. Sometimes he is too addicted to the small technology under his feet and ignores the overall situation. There are some problems with the strength of passing the ball. Wait, such a player is very malleable, and its shortcomings are not unchangeable, but the requirements of each position are different. Gurkuv has never been regarded as a winger, a front midfielder, a midfielder, or centre-back has been trained alone, but wanders between various positions like a patch.

It can't be said that Ancelotti is useless, but he is knowledgeable but not good at it.

AC Milan lost, but Inter Milan, its rival in the same city, ushered in a victory, which may make Red and Black more embarrassed, because even if Blue and Black also face some problems, they can win.

"Ibrahimovic, a crazy ball!"

Milan Sport was once again conquered by the Swedes. Indeed, Ibrahimovic's goal against Sampdoria can make all football lovers crazy.

When the game went on in the 49th minute, after several passes from the Inter Milan midfield, the football came to Ibrahimovic's feet. The moment he took the ball, the defender on the right side immediately attached it, and the other two defenders came forward from the front. The Swede turned half and leaned against the person on the right, and his toes just stopped the ball. Stable, it seems to have lost control. When the other two defenders rushed to break the ball, Ibrahimovic incredulously reversed the instep of his right foot, and one action threw all three defenders away. In the face of the attacking goalkeeper without any extra adjustment, he directly shot his left foot into the net, and the whole Meacha boiled!

This is a goal that purely belongs to Ibrahimovic. It relies entirely on one person's strength to completely destroy an entire defense from the front, and there are only a handful of such players in the world.

No wonder Moratti will replace the legendary Mazola when selecting the best lineup in Inter Milan's history. Mancini also admitted: "To play well, Inter Milan will always need two players to reach its best."

The two players mentioned by Mancini refer to Ibrahimovic and Vieira!

After the start of this season, Ibrahimovic's soul position in Inter Milan was more obvious. In the first five rounds of the league, Inter scored a long goal, of which Ibrahimovic scored six goals and assisted twice. Only the first goal against Catania had little to do with him.

One person participated in nearly 90% of the goals, and six individual goals directly brought 7 points out of 11 points to the team. Even Vieri and Adriano in the past did not have such a terrible efficiency.

In fact, Ibrahimovic's performance on the court is not as consistent as the data. Milan Sport pointed out that Ibrahimovic "disappeared" most of the time in the first half of Sampdoria.

Figo's starting lineup made most of Inter Milan's offensive pass under the Portuguese feet. Ibrahimovic did not show any effect, and there is also some cooperation with Crespo, who has been difficult to get out recently.

But the spark of genius can be ignited in an instant. In the subsequent game, the bigger Ibrahimovic is, the better. First, he received a pass from Figo, turned around and got rid of Campaniaro. He shot his left foot at the far corner at the top of the arc of the penalty area, scoring a very simple goal, opening the door to victory for Inter.

More than half of the contribution of this goal should be thanks to Crespo. It was the Argentine who actively ran to take away the two defenders, and Ibrahimovic turned around and got enough space.

Ibrahimovic scored two goals in this game, and the final shot was not difficult, but it was a little amazing that these two clean shots were completed by his left foot!

The Swedes are more accustomed to using their right foot, and all the first four goals of this season are completed with the right foot, but the shot of the left foot in this game is not inferior, indicating that the comprehensiveness of Ibrahimovic's shooting is still rising, his potential has not yet fully exploded, and a striker with excellent skills and balanced left and right foot ability will be more difficult to prevent.

Mancini said not long ago that Ibrahimovic deserved the Golden Globe Award. After the game, he talked about this issue again: "Ibrahimovic is sprinting to the Golden Globe Award. Although those who usually need to win the championship in the Champions League, he still has time, and he has performed well enough."

If Ibrahimovic can maintain his status in recent rounds for a long time, there is indeed hope to win the Golden Globe Award in the future.

In addition to two perfect goals, Ibrahimovic exposed his inherent problems in this game. In the second half, he deliberately kicked the ball on his opponent under the referee's eyes and received a yellow card. His personality shortcomings may hinder the Swedes's development towards greater achievements, but in any case, Mancini Having the most perfect front, you can play the "perfect game" for him.

Inter Milan won, and Juventus also beat the weak team Reggina 4-0 at home. In the game, except for Trezeguet, who has habitually scored goals, the remaining three are the debuts of the new season. Except for Lerotale, Salihamidzic and Palladino are both personal Serie A debuts.

Lerotale was brought to Juventus by Mogi with his excellent performance in one season, but the subsequent unconvinced made the deal one of Moggi's three most regrettable deals. Under Ranieri, Lerotale got some opportunities to play again, replacing the injured Andra in this game. Le Rotalie, the starter of Germany, used a corner kick to set a record for the team, repaying Ranieri's trust.

Like Inter Milan and AC Milan, Juventus are now facing injuries, especially Camoranhe's injury, which once gave Ranieri a headache. There is no suitable solution to the problem of sideline attack. Nor Cherino works very hard and can be regarded as an offensive and defensive balance, but lacks distinctive characteristics and sidelines. The road breakthrough ability, when he was in Atlanta, has proved that Norcherino is more suitable to serve as a destroyer and commando captain in the middle, and the side road is really not his suitable position.

Nedvede is already in his twilight years of his career, and the 35-year-old Czech can no longer dominate all the Juventus attacks as they did in those years.

After playing Regina, Ranieri replaced Nedvid as the left-back. In the game, the Negro took advantage of his tape and breakthrough to continue to attack on the right side of Reggina. At the beginning of the second half, Sali Hamidžići took advantage of A corner kick broke the goal and completed his Serie A first goal.

Salihamidić was made the angel wings of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the fans when he was at Bayern. He could serve in four positions on the left and right. When Camoraneschi was still in bed, Salihamidjić was able to support Juve's side attack, which made Ranieri happier than the goal of the Negro Borus.

In addition to Salihamic's first goal, Paradino's performance also made Ranieri feel gratified. As the main striker of the Italian Olympic team, Palladino is also young and famous. Especially in the year of Serie B, Palladium occupied half of the main striker in Juventus, and the whole Serie B Palladium Nuo scored 8 goals.

When Trezeguet had a bad relationship with the team, Paladino was designated as Trezeguet's successor, but Palladino, who is 182cm tall, is not a standard center in terms of technical characteristics and cannot become a fulcrum in the front court of Juventus' offensive system, but his ability to take the ball But it is stronger than Trezeguet.

In the last round, in the game against Roma, Paladino played as a substitute and performed very actively on the court, while Paladino, who got the starting opportunity in this game, still showed good competitive form and scored a goal.

Previously, Italian media reported that Juventus wanted to exchange Paradino plus 12 million euros for Gilardino, but now Juventus sees the state of the two and considering the age and price difference. Juventus should cancel this idea. Another deal about Palladium is for Florence. Uyfalusi, but seeing Paladino's goal and performance on the court, Ranieri is not willing to exchange Italy for a future striker for a defender.

At the beginning of the season, when it comes to Juventus, although some people have included it in the league championship this season, in fact, more people still feel that Juventus has succeeded in advancing to next season's European competition.

But after five rounds of the league, people were surprised to find that Juventus was still in the first group and was able to achieve such a result. As the head coach, Ranelli made great contributions.

Ranieri is known as a repairman in international football. The so-called repairman is because Ranieri likes and is good at making some frequent small-scale adjustments to the lineup, and Ranieri gives full play to the characteristics of his repairman in this game.

Ranelli let six players rotate. In the last round, he just had a fight with Rome on the road, so Ranieri used Regina, a weak brigade, to rotate the team to test some of his own substitutes, and proved that everything was very successful.

The three main competitors, two wins and one loss, and Fiorentina will fight with its direct rival Rome in this round.

Previously, Roma and Fiorentina were unbeaten before the game. In the last round of Roma's draw, Fiorentina took the opportunity to open the gap of two points. In this direct face-to-face competition, Roma's head coach Spaletti's goal was to win and regain his advantage.

However, Rome is also facing difficulties in this game. The team's number one star Totti's thigh was injured and was absent. Degan's former teammate Kasetti and midfielder Perota also played an exemption card. Spaleti could only passively rotate the starting lineup. Jiuli returned to the team and Vuzinic came out. As a single striker, Fiorentina veteran Gamberini will face his old club.

Florence has no such concerns at all. In addition to Cavinage's flu and absence before the game, Prandelli sent the strongest lineup. The goalkeeper took a break and returned to Frey, Pascual, Ui Faruxi and Tiago on the back line. Silva, Abat, three midfielders Mota, Ledesma and Arteta, front midfield Montolivo, and Degan on the front line partner Mutu.

After the start of the game, the Fiorentina players seemed a little too excited. When Montolivo stopped the ball, he made a mistake and was broken by the opponent and counterattacked directly. Vuccinić passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area, and little Mancini headed the ball off the post.

After being attacked by the opponent, Prandelli quickly walked to the sidelines and asked the players to calm down and slow down a little. Fiorentina played their better passing and receiving tactics. Ledesma made a cross from the right, and Mutu headed the ball in front of the goal.

Then Jiuli made a direct pass, and Vuccinic faced the attacking Frey and shoveled. After the middle post of the football, he popped out the bottom line.

After that, a straight plug ball was sent from the middle of Arteta. After Digan received the ball, he did not rush to raise his foot, but gently hit his heel and shot high outside the penalty area of Montolivo.

After transferring to Fiorentina, Arteta showed his value in several appearances, although he did not have the opportunity to get as much as Modric.

On the court, Arteta has never been the kind of person who likes publicity. It is often difficult for people to find his existence after a game, but in the plain, Arteta can always show his extraordinaryness.

He is obviously better at controlling the rhythm of the game than other midfielders of Fiorentina. Although he does not show off and does not have a wonderful goal like Modric, as long as he plays, he will always be the most active one in the Fioren team.

The pass just now also showed his ability. When he received the ball, Rome already had two players who rushed over. If the pass is early, it is easy to be intercepted by the opponent. If the pass is late, the passing route will be gone.

Altata seized the right opportunity, stuffed the ball directly through the gap and passed it to Degan's feet. Unfortunately, Montolivo's subsequent shot was slightly more than a few centimeters, which failed to help the team take the lead.

However, even so, there was a round of applause from the stands of Vladimir Stadium.

Fifteen minutes after the start of the game, although the two sides are five or five, Florence's attack is very smooth and the pressure on defense is not very large. Basically, in such a situation, the game will gradually fall under the control of Florence.

But there is an exception to everything. Florence, who had just missed a good opportunity to score, was soon punished. When the game reached the 20th minute, Roma suddenly accelerated the offensive rhythm. Jiuli passed across from the right side, and Mancini Jr. scored with his right foot in front of the goal!

Rome leads 1:0.

The gate was broken, and Frey was also a little dumbfounded. Just now, at the moment when Jiuli passed the ball, he had judged the drop point of the football and was ready to stop the ball, but he didn't expect that little Mancini did not wait for the ball in place, but took the initiative to meet him and made such a hanging shot.

The score is behind!

After the start of the new season, Fiorentina fell behind at home for the first time.

Of course, Florence is no longer the same as before. The team's age structure is constantly getting younger, and even has the title of young guard, but the team's performance on the field seems to be more mature.

If one goal is behind, it won't make Fiorentina mess up.

In the next game, the whole Fiorentina team played more oppressively under the leadership of Degan. In the 23rd minute, Roma made a mistake in defending. After Montolivo got the ball, a long shot missed the right post.

A minute later, Fiorentina's midfielder cut off the ball, which was still Alta's straight ball, and passed it directly to the right side of the penalty area. Mutu pushed a shot and was blocked from the bottom line by Roma goalkeeper Doni. Montolivo made a corner kick on the left side. Fiorentina's old player Gamberini grabbed the front of the team's goalkeeper Doni, but accidentally passed the ball to Of course, Digan and Digan will not miss such an opportunity. His left foot volleyed into the upper right corner, 1:1.

After Degan scored, he immediately roared and rushed to the sidelines. The Florence fans in the stands of the Flagy Stadium had long been jubilant, and the huge banner lit up again: Thank you, Degan! 135!

Gamberini, who made a serious mistake, stood still and looked at the Florentine players who were celebrating enthusiastically. He couldn't help but be a little distracted. Last season, he was still one of those people.

Gamberini does not regret his original choice. People go high, but turn to Rome. It is unknown whether to go high or low.

However, in Rome, Gamberini got the main position he wanted, but after five rounds of the league, there was also an Italian Super Cup and a Champions League group stage. His performance can only be described as moderate, and it is not amazing at all. At present, people in the team have questioned Spalletti's way of employing people. In addition, Max is about to recover from his injury, and perhaps his main position will be unstable.

The score was equalized, and Roma also began to strengthen their offensive. In the 30th minute, De Rossi shot 35 meters in front of the goal with his right foot, but the angle was too positive to be hit by Freh.

Then, Tadei made a diagonal shot with his left foot, and Frey once again blocked Rome's shot.

While resisting Roma's counterattack, Fiorentina was also waiting for an opportunity to fight back. In the 32nd minute, Mutu's right foot shot was blocked by Sisinho's body. Montolivo made a corner kick from the right side, and Mutu pushed the air and missed the right side of the gate.

In the 36th minute, Fiorentina opened a corner from the left side, and Degan's header hit the goal, which was magically resolved by goalkeeper Dornie with his fingertips.

In the 37th minute, Roma made a beautiful counterattack, little Mancini passed directly, Aquilani gave it to Jiuli on the right side, and Jiuli scored with his right foot in the penalty area line, and Rome's 2:1 exceeded again.

was scored by Roma again, and Prandelli was also a little helpless, because Roma's two goals cannot be called absolute opportunities. Basically, they are ahead of the scorer's own ability, but these two opportunities brought two goals to Rome.

At the end of the first half, Roma still had a lead by a goal. In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again. Plander used Modric to replace Mota, who did not perform well in the first half, to increase the control of the midfield.

In the 47th minute, Modric, who had just come on as a substitute, had a good opportunity to score, but unfortunately, after receiving a pass from Arteta, he pushed a shot in the penalty area and slightly missed.

In the 53rd minute, Mutu's left foot shot outside the penalty area was also higher.

In the 61st minute, Degan's free kick was hit again by Roman goalkeeper Doni.

Roma has been playing for more than ten minutes since the second half, and there has not been a decent attack. It can be seen that Spaletti wants to keep this point ahead until the end of the game.

Rome hoarded heavy defense in the backcourt, and Florence had no choice for a moment. At the critical moment, Degan stood up.

When the game went on for 70 minutes, Digan returned to the midfield, cut off Taday's ball, and then rushed directly to the penalty area of Rome. After swinging De Rossi and Aguilari continuously, he grabbed Gambellini to make up for the defense, and then gently pushed the ball with his left foot like a side road, and then bypassed Gambellini and received it again. Erteta's pass, without adjustment, pushed the ball directly.

Although goalkeeper Dornie chose to attack in time, Degan's grasp of time was more old-fashioned. The goal went through Dornie's legs and rolled directly into the goal.

2:2!

Thank you, Degan! 136!

Fiorentina will not be satisfied with the score. What they want is to break Inter Milan's 17-game winning streak in Serie A. In the last few games last season, Fiorentina has maintained eight victories. As long as they can win Rome at home, their goal will go further.

Finally, when the game was held in the 85th minute, the opportunity came. Mutu grabbed the ball in the backcourt and broke through the ball in the middle. Digan took the ball on the left side of the penalty area and was directly tackled by Gamberini and scored a penalty!

Although the Roma players surrounded the referee to protest loudly, they could not change the referee's judgment. From the slow-motion replay, this is indeed a foul, a very serious foul.

Mutu's knife was the main punishment, and his right foot "small spoon" hit the middle road into the net, 3:2.

This score was also maintained until the end.
