However, Atlanta’s verbal support for Juventus is not very popular. In the view of the realist Atlanta executives, it is not a good idea for the team to attack Florence in this game. Now that the relegation situation has been confirmed, the Atlanta club is in urgent need of work. How to sell these players at a good price so that the team can operate funds in the future instead of shopping with such a strong enemy as Florence.
After all, if one of the main players is injured in this game that doesn’t mean much to them and Atlanta sells him at a good price in the coming summer transfer market, then Atlanta will want to cry.
I want Atlanta to work for them without paying any price. How can there be such a good thing in the world? After seeing these interviews, Mourinho was very disdainful of these small moves made by Juventus. After all, Moggi’s behavior style is typical. He wants the horses to run and not eat grass. Atlanta is neither a satellite club of Juventus nor a follower of the Bianconeri. Naturally, he will not accept such a request that is not of much benefit to them.
If Juventus are willing to promise that Atlanta will win Florence, then Juventus will be willing to pay enough real money to buy Atalanta players. Then Atalanta may also consider making efforts in this game. Now in Moggi, they are not willing to pay much, thinking about filling the other side with ecstasy. Atlanta will naturally not be willing to work hard for Juventus.
On May 15th, the 36th round of Serie A was held as scheduled at Frankie Stadium, and Florence welcomed Atlanta, their opponents at the bottom of the league table!
In the face of this opponent who had locked in the Serie B seat for a season, he got a whole week’s rest. The Florence players showed excellent competitive state in this game. Milito, Vincent and Cristiano Ronaldo formed an offensive trident. At half time, they beat the Atlanta Youth Army to help Viola win a 51 victory at home!
The news of Florence’s victory disappointed Juventus, who also scored three points in the round. After all, they had been waiting for good news from Atlanta, such as Florence losing, Florence losing, and Florence losing. Now, with the news of Florence’s home victory over Atlanta, the expectation of coming to Juventus has obviously been completely lost.
Don’t be discouraged so early. We haven’t reached the point where there is no hope at all. Seeing that the atmosphere in the dressing room is a little heavy, trapattoni Makou took the initiative to take on the active atmosphere. Don’t forget that an opponent of Florence just eliminated them from the Champions League. Lazio Biancocelesti have the opportunity to make enough trouble for Florence!
Trapattoni is absolutely right. Although Lazio is mainly preparing for the Champions League final on May 25th, Mancini, who has been questioned and criticized since the semifinal, can’t easily miss this opportunity to face Fiorentina directly!
You know that the most direct reason why Mancini has fallen into this situation where several people have questioned his coaching ability is the second leg of the Champions League semifinal between Lazio and Florence. Therefore, if Mancini wants to quell these rumors surrounding him as soon as possible and stabilize his position in Lazio, it is a very good opportunity to directly confront Florence in the league battlefield!
If Mancio still can’t grasp this opportunity, then he can let time dilute it. Of course, Roman Abramovich will have the patience to let Mancini continue to coach Lazio instead of finding a more famous head coach to take his place.
On the other hand, Florence is gearing up to give Lazio a lesson that will never be forgottenwho let them be eliminated by the Biancocelesti in the Champions League, and now they finally have a chance to get revenge? How can Florence players not be excited about it?
In the eyes of Fiorentina players, they will fall into the semifinals not because Lazio is stronger than Fiorentina, but because their physical fitness and state have been affected in the doubletrack situation, which gives Lazio, who is the main player in Europe, the opportunity to seize the opportunity, otherwise Lazio can’t get the chance to kill them at the last minute!
What’s more, the result of this game is directly related to the fact that the Serie A champion finally belongs to the Fiorentina players. Naturally, there is no reason not to take it seriously. After all, if they can win Lazio in this game, no matter what the result of Juventus is, Fiorentina will win the Serie A championship in the previous round!
Therefore, this game with a lot of attractions has naturally become the highlight of Serie A, attracting the attention of several media and fans.
In this way, at 6 o’clock on the evening of May 21, nearly 10,000 fans cheered and cheered at the scene, and the 37th round of Serie A between Florence and Lazio started on time at the Rome Olympic Stadium!
Chapter 1335 Revenge War (2)
Looking at Drogba and Ronaldinho waiting for the ball in the middle of the stadium, Mancini looked serious with his hands on the sidelines. Obviously, the young marshal attached great importance to the league match with Florence and hoped very much to achieve this goal. Mancini insisted on sending the main force to increase the chances of winning the game despite the fact that there is still an important Champions League final to be played in four days.
Mancini’s actions are somewhat reckless, but his actions are understandable from a reasonable point of view. After all, the Champions League final is very important for this young marshal, but this headon confrontation with Florence is also a game without losing.
You know, almost all the media opinion is onesided to see that Mancini thinks that he is not worthy of this Lazio, which is the biggest obstacle for the Biancocelesti to go further. These media evidences are that in the second leg of the Champions League match between Florence and Lazio last season, Mancini’s terrible onthespot command finally had to rely on Ronaldinho’s inspiration to overcome the fact!
It is precisely because of the poor performance in this game that Mancini has been having a smooth career since his debut that he has been questioned so much, which is considered to be the key factor for Lazio to become a top club. Therefore, when Lazio faces Florence again this season, whether Mancini likes it or not, this duel will surely attract the attention of several media and fans!
If Lazio wins well, people will think that Mancini and two brushes are a coach worthy of their expectation; And if the Biancocelesti loses to Florence again tonight, it will be a higher level to question him!
Mancini is quite sure that the reason why people question him must be that since Florence can beat Lazio in the Champions League in a distracted league situation, why can’t the Biancocelesti beat Florence in a similar situation? Can’t such a fresh contrast reflect Mancini, the head coach?
Of course, Mancini has another way to go now, that is, strategically give up the game and concentrate on preparing for the Champions League final in four days, and beat AC Milan in Istanbul to silence everyone and completely calm the storm.
No one will question a coach who can lead his team to win the Champions League, no matter how bumpy he is in the process of winning the championship or how many controversies he has created. The most typical example is this. Benitez and Guardiola both dispelled all doubts and criticisms by virtue of a Champions League champion and became famous and officially entered the ranks of top coaches!
However, Mancini, who has always been cautious, did not dare to take the risk. In his view, although the road is extremely profitable, the risk is also not small. It is better to put all his hopes in the highly variable Champions League final and share the risk first. If not, then play the Champions League idea.
To be honest, Mancini’s move did not effectively reduce the risk, but made the risk of failure even greateryou know, players’ energy and physical fitness are limited, except for a few iron men, playing a highintensity game a week is the most suitable for players, and the frequency of competition will not cause too much negative impact on their competitive state, but Mancini now wants these players to play two highlevel games in four days, which is really a bit overwhelming.
But it can be said that Lazio’s cup fate has been doomed since Mancini made this decision. The only suspense is whether the goddess of fate will suddenly favor Lazio at this time and let the Biancocelesti beat Florence and AC Milan in four days with a set of main players.
Now let’s introduce one or two teams’ starting lineup tonight. Lazio, the home team, has set up a formation that they often use in the season. Of course, although it is said to be a formation, in fact Drogba often retreats to the square half of the game, even in the restricted area to defend some new fans who don’t know the situation. The Ivorian is a midfielder rather than a striker, so Lazio’s formation can also be regarded as an alternative.
Cech’s performance in the season was extremely stable. He continued to be the starting goalkeeper. Four defenders, Maxwell, Daily, Mexes and Oddo, lined up to form Lazio’s starting defense line. After witnessing the poor performance of pancaro in the semifinal, Mancini would rather make Oddo stronger than give old pancaro another chance.
In midfield, the Lazio trio can be said to have a clear division of labor. Davis is responsible for sweeping and defending. Deco is in charge of organizing and dispatching Stankovic, and at the same time, he will wait for an opportunity to insert a longrange shot to threaten the opponent’s goal. At the same time, the excellent running ability of the three people will make Lazio’s defense range bigger and the defense line more stable.
The striker Ronaldinho, a new generation of Brazilian kings, is on the left and the French winger Giuly is on the right. Drogba, the Ivorian striker, is mainly covered by his strong body and tireless running Lazio, so that they can get more chances to shoot instead of waiting for his teammates’ ball in the penalty area.
Having finished Lazio’s appearance, now let’s take a look at Mourinho’s presence in the game. Because Florence has one front line left in the league to play and new hatred with Lazio, the Portuguese naturally did not stay in the game and planned to send the strongest team in their hands!
Goalkeeper Buffon’s four defenders are Chivu, Lucio, Stesta and Zambrotta from left to right. In the back, Makelele Barak and Pirlodan’s midfield duo Vincent, diego milito and Cristiano Ronaldo form the front trident. This is Florence’s starting eleven tonight!
However, despite Mancini’s serious mistakes in the game strategy, the serious consequences of his actions will not be shown until four days later in the Champions League final. Lazio will still bring enough trouble to Florence in this evening’s game.
Therefore, I’m afraid it’s not easy for Florence to achieve revenge in this game.
