Chapter 463 352 and 442
After three days of careful preparation, Inter Milan welcomed Mancini and his Purple Lily Legion at the Meacha Stadium.
Fiorentina and Inter Milan had no quarrel, and there was no saliva before the game. The game rarely opened in a harmonious atmosphere.
The players warmed up on the court, and more than 80,000 Neira Zuri sat in the stands eagerly waiting for the start of the game.
"Florence is one of the most elegant teams in Serie A. Inter Milan has been the most aggressive team in Europe in recent months. There is no doubt that the fight between them will be very exciting. Now we have got their starting lineup. Now let's take a look at Inter Milan's starting lineup: 1. -Frey, 38 Materazzi, 13-Simichi, 5-Blank, 4-Saneti, 10-Sydorf, 14-Dibigio, 18-Dalma, 21-Pirlo, 32-Vieri, 54-Suk..."
Commentator Scarpini had a break in the middle when introducing each player. Inter Milan fans tacitly heard the name of every Inter Milan fan and made a fierce applause and shout, which made the players full of pride.
"Dalma and Hakansuk's start is surprising. Inter Milan has been conducting closed training during this period. We don't know what's wrong with Rekoba. According to common sense, he should be the partner with Vieri today. On the guard line, it's not surprising that Simic's appearance. He and Cordoba have nothing to play. No doubt, well, God can't figure out what Jiang Mu is thinking. Let's wait and watch the game. Now let's take a look at Fiorentina's starting line-up: 1 - Toldo, 2 - Repka, 23 Pierini 4 - Adani, 35 - Moretti, 19 - Rossi, 10 - Costa, 24 - Amoruso, 7 -Dilivio, 21-Gomez, 20-Kieza, this is a stable 442 formation, both offensive and defensive. Before the game, people predicted that Fiorentina might strengthen its defense in Meacha, because Inter Milan's attack power is too strong, but now it seems that Mancini still has some ideas..."
At this time, with the whistle of the referee, the game began.
Seeing Inter Milan's starting lineup, many people think that Inter Milan played 442 in this game, but after the start of the game, everyone found that Sanetti played midfielder, and Inter Milan played 352 in this game. The formation.
Mancini was overjoyed when he saw Inter Milan's starting lineup, because this lineup is similar to what he guessed. Although the three positions of Hakansuk, Dalma and Simic are a little unconventional, these three players are also commonly used players. Mancini is very familiar with them and specializes in them before the game. After targeted training, players will not be unfamiliar with it.
But after the formation of Inter Milan really came out, it became 352, which made Mancini a little long-faced, because he didn't expect Jiang Mu to form such a formation. He lacked preparation, and the players didn't know what to do.
The 352 formation put five players in the midfield, and the midfielders are relatively dominant. Teams with this formation are generally stronger than their opponents and use oppressive play to exert pressure on their opponents.
3 defenders can use a man-to-man or regional defense system. The five players in the midfield mostly use the configuration of double midfielders plus two full-backs and one front waist. The two forward strikers can form a triangle with the front waist behind them. If they cooperate tacitly, they can play smoothly to break the dense defense line in the middle of the other side. Because there are only three defenders in this formation, the three defenders usually do not assist except for the threatening positioning ball in the front court, in order to ensure that three defenders will stay in the half at any time, and one of the two midfielders will not participate in the attack under normal circumstances. First, a barrier will be set up in the midfield to hinder the speed of the opponent's counterattack. It is conducive to the return of our players. In the full retreat, two full-backs can retreat to the position of full-back, forming a defense system of up to 7 people with three central defenders and two midfielders, forming 532. This formation is 352 or even 343 when attacking. When defending, it forms 532 or 541. It can attack and retreat. It not only achieves a certain offensive and defensive balance, but also has a very flexible formation. The five players in the midfield also have an advantage in terms of the number of players.
However, the 352 formation also has its defects, that is, its side road. Because there is only one person on the sidelines, the ability of sideline players is very high. They should not only have comprehensive skills, be able to attack and defend, but also have abundant physical ability. And the only three defenders cannot occupy the whole backcourt, especially when playing on a wide court such as the Nou Camp, the gap on the side is larger, and the 3 guard system also requires a high defensive ability for the middle defender. Therefore, compared with the 442 formation, the 352 formation has a certain advantage. But it also has its limitations, so its use is not as common as the 442 formation.
However, Jiang Mu's staffing does not have the above shortcomings: two tall defenders and experienced Blanco in the backcourt solve the problem of headers. Sanetti on both sides is a world-class attacking and defensive and physically strong side player. Dalma's defense is a little poor, but he is full of attack and creativity.
The combination of Pirlo and Dibianio with two backs has both defensive and offensive attributes. Di Bianio is a hard-working engineering midfielder. Pirlo can organize scheduling in the backfield and can also launch a long pass attack from the air.
The front waist of Sedorf has been famous for a long time, and it has become more and more mature after the exercise of Serie A. Vieri on the forward line is in good condition, scoring almost on the field. His strong body can level any defense like a tank. Hakansuk's excellent header and Vieri formed a double tower. If they can cross from the side, they can completely frighten their opponents in the game.
After the start of the game, Inter Milan really took advantage of the number of people in the midfield, played more and less, adopted an oppressive style, and raised the formation very forward. After the players in the midfield and forecourt lost the ball, they counterattacked on the spot and connected with the backcourt, forming a large encirclement net, encircling Fiorentina in the middle.
Although Fiorentina's players were also aimed at Inter Milan's usual 442 and 4321 before the game, and did not expect Inter Milan to play the rarely used 352, they are also experienced players. The 352 formation began to prevail ten years ago, even without the command of the head coach. And arrangement, they also know what the weakness of this style of play is, and they also study every player of Inter Milan thoroughly. Although they have fallen into the disadvantage, they do not panic and don't know what to do.
Under the dispatch and command of Rui Costa, Fiorentina, while solidifying the defense of the backcourt, also launched a quick counterattack from time to time, so that the opponent did not dare to press it.
Although Inter Milan has the advantage of the midfield, Fiorentina's defender is very experienced. Needless to say, the strength of Italian international Pierini, both Adani and Lipka are also powerful generals. It is not easy for Inter Milan to break through their defense line easily.
However, Jiang Mu had been prepared for this for a long time. In this game, he did not send the striker combination of Rekoba and Vieri, but sent Vieri and Hakansuk. First, it was because Rekoba had a cold, and second, he wanted to use Vieri and Hakansuk's bodies to attack the penalty area.
Because after Jiang Mu arranged the formation of 352, he must oppress the opponent inside and outside the penalty area, so that the opponent is crowded in the backcourt, and it is difficult to break their defense with a short pass penetration. At this time, you can't use a dagger like Robi Kean, but only use a mountain axe like Vieri and Hakansuk. OK.
Dalma and Sanetti ran hard on the sidelines. They understood their responsibility, which was to pass a good pass and find Vieri and Hakansuk.
In the 4th minute of the game, Sanetti passed the ball directly into the penalty area without going down from the side. Although it was easy for such a player's defender to relieve the siege and difficult for the striker to deal with it, Vieri still competed for a half-ball opportunity. He headed the goal and the ball hit the head of the defender Pierini and flew out of the bottom line.
Then Pirlo made a very threatening corner on the left side, but Hakansuk put the ball on the side net, which made Inter Milan fans happy for nothing.
In the 7th minute of the game, Dalma crossed the ball from the edge of the penalty area. Hakansuk knocked back under the opponent's guard. Vieri shot low with his right foot 17 meters in front of the goal. The ball passed through Adani. Although the goalkeeper Tordo's sight was blocked, he reacted quickly and fell to the ground and held the ball in his arms.
It was not until the 10th minute that Fiorentina launched a threatening counterattack.
Rui Costa is still the starting point of Florence's attack. Although Rui Costa is not as famous as Zidane, his aura is huge, and he is not as delicate enough to dance to a square meter, his elegance and gorgeousness are not inferior to these two geniuses at all, because he is also a genius. A genius for passing the ball.
The ball stayed at the feet of Rui Costa for less than a second, but this second was enough.
Under the rapid counterattack of Inter Milan, Rui Costa still calmly received the ball and turned around, looked up and passed the ball. Before Inter Milan's second wave of rush, Rui Costa's foot ball had easily flew through the half and found the striker Chiesa.
Chiesa was the most comprehensive striker in the world at that time, with penalty kicks, free kicks, grabs, headers, long shots, volleys, barbs, and almost omnipotent. Unfortunately, all-round is almost equal to total mediocrity, because he and Vieri Inzaghi and Piero live in the same era. These three strikers represent Three extremes, with their matching, Chiesa can only wait on the bench.
Chiesa passed the ball in front of the backcourt, ran a few steps quickly, distanced one step away from Blanco behind him, jumped up, stopped his chest to one side, and directly skipped the side hook.
The ball flew straight to the right side of the goal.
This time he hit very suddenly and Blanco was already behind Chiesa. Frey hardly saw Chiesa's shot. By the time he flew over, the ball had already flown in front of his hand.
Frey's heart was cold and he felt it was over, but at this time, there was a long and heavy exhalation from the stands and the regretful sighs of Florence fans. It turned out that the ball flew out of the bottom line by rubbing the goalpost.
