Volume 1 Chapter 147 Difference Between Serie A and Serie B

Also enthusiastic is Chen Yu.

Leading the team to two life-and-death battles as the captain, Chen Yu knew how heavy the burden on his shoulders was, if these two play-offs were lost, their efforts this season would be in vain, the huge transfer fee of the boss this season would be in vain, and his record 46 goals would become very weak.

Chen Yu remembered what the old captain Di Livio had said to him last night.

"Chen, it's all up to you now! Just like two years ago, everything in Florence depended on me. Now you are the core and spiritual leader of Fiorentina, you are called the new god of war of Fiorentina by the fans, however, you have to remember that if you have not led the team from Serie B to Serie A like Barty, you should not be too high, now the opportunity to become the new god of war has come, win these two games, Fiorentina will always leave your name in history, I believe in you, you will not let me down, I also believe that a team with a hundred years of history will not sink forever, you are sent by God to save the purple lily. ”

Chen Yu didn't believe in the existence of God, but the miraculous future USB drive made him feel that maybe this was really God's fake hand to save Florence.

If this is a win-win play-off, Chen Yu will definitely not hesitate to skip the binding, or even the two-level binding, even if there will be serious side effects, but this is the two play-offs of home and away, Chen Yu decided to bind the consciousness of two professional players to play one game first.

With the dual consciousness conversion card, even if he is not upgraded, Chen Yu's threat and scoring ability are much stronger than before, although they are not as powerful as star-level players, but the difference is not much. This is a bit like a double master's degree in college, although it is not as good as a doctorate, but it is more powerful than an ordinary master's degree, Chen Yu scored like a goal in the later stage, because he can switch between the consciousness of two top players.

Although the head coach Mondonico asked him to play left winger in this game, the left winger always has to cut inside and come to the middle, if he can have the skills of the center, then everything will be perfect, so Chen Yu bound the Danish international in the winger position, and Romedahl, who played the right winger, chose the injured striker Hubnel in Perugia in the center position.

In the position of winger, Chen Yu can actually choose to play Glen Charles on the left wing, but Chen Yu thinks about it and thinks that Glen Char's breakthrough level is very strong, but the level of crosses is really average, Perugia is a Serie A team, and will not give Fiorentina much chance, Chen Yu feels that Romedahl, who has more delicate skills, is a good choice, although Romedahl plays as a right winger, but as long as he can break through the past, Chen Yu will switch to Hubnel's consciousness, and there will be many chances to score.

The two-legged play-offs are more difficult for the teams playing at home first, they must guarantee to win, but they cannot let the opponent score, in such a game, an away goal is equivalent to two goals, and allowing the opponent to get a goal difference is equivalent to laying a mine for the next leg.

What is a headache for manager Kosmi is that Fiorentina's two strikers, Chen Yu and Ricano, are extremely strong in attack, and in Serie B, the two of them have scored a total of 71 goals, more than any other team in a season. Although both strikers scored in Serie B, the efficiency of the goal was so impressive that Cosmi could not guarantee that they would not be able to break through Perugia.

In order to be able to defend against Chen Yu and Ricano, before the game, Cosmi studied the two men thoroughly. From the running route, the way of scoring, to the route and timing of the other players feeding them the ball, he made a detailed record, and also carefully analyzed and counted, which is the way Cosmi took when dealing with superstars such as Totti, Piero and Vieri in Serie A, which shows the importance that Cosmy attaches to Chen Yu and Ricano.

After the start of the game, Perugia, who was playing at home, took the initiative to attack.

The two strikers, Ravanelli and Boothroyd, were very active, frequently scurrying around the Fiorentina penalty area and creating passing opportunities for the midfielders.

Big four, Fabiano; Di Francisco, Obodo and Kodre took a diamond-shaped position, with Brazilian centre-back Fabiano in front of the two centre-backs in charge of the transition, and the other three midfielders organising the attack in Fiorentina's half, with five players attacking in front.

Originally, Brazilian right-back Di Maria was also the firepower of the attack, he was originally a full-back, but today Di Maria is very honest, the opponent put his ace killer Chen Yu in the position of left winger, the purpose is very clear, that is, to suppress Di Maria, before getting familiar with Chen Yu, Di Maria did not dare to act rashly for the time being.

Although Perugia left only one Fabiano in midfield to assist in the defense, there were four Serie A defenders in the lineup, among whom Frési and Di Maria were both strong and good defenders, and it was not a big deal to deal with the two strikers in Serie B.

Mondonico sent a 433 formation, Savini, Fontana, Piangrellí, of which Fontana was in the middle, Savini and Piangrelli were on either side of him, and there was only one defender in the middle, which was really risky, and it also proved Mondonico's idea today, that is, he must get an away goal and wait until he returns to the home field to fight to the death.

Mondonico's ideas are beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and even if Perugia falls into the relegation zone, they are still a Serie A team, and their opponents are Milan, Roma and Old Lady, while Fiorentina's opponents are Palermo, Cagliari, Catania, and this is the gap, the gap that cannot be bridged.

Fiorentina wanted to attack after the start of the game, but they were quickly driven back into their own half, and they fell behind in terms of the pace of attack, the speed of passing, the individual ability and awareness of the players, and the overall picture of the game. Originally, after half a season of running-in, these players who are known as quasi-Serie A players are already very good, but compared with the real Serie A team, they are still a lot worse, it can't be said that it is the gap between Fiat and Ferrari, at least it is also the gap between Fiat and BMW Mercedes-Benz, their offense can't play at all, they pass a few kicks and they are cut off, and they can't be surrounded by two balls, after the opponent breaks the ball, the offensive and defensive conversion is very fast, and Fiorentina has no time to organize a return defense, You can only rely on your own back line to fight against the opponent's strikers and the forwards who are up front.

Fiorentina's defensive configuration is also very good, the strength of Vialli and Dericari's two central defenders is outstanding in Serie B, but it is also very difficult for them to face the impact of two strikers like Ravanelli and Boothroyd.

The white-haired demon Ravanelli used to be the representative of the Italian center, not fast, but strong, full of momentum, good at shooting vigorously, now older, the strength is not as good as before, but more experienced, shooting more exquisite.

At the beginning, the Fiorentina players and fans were a little skeptical that Boothroyd could beat Salayeta and Brienza on the pitch, but when the game started, they found out that although Boothroyd was 1.91 meters tall, he did not rely on his header to eat, his foot work was also very delicate, and the speed was also very fast, at least faster than the two central defenders of Ravanelli and Fiorentina.

That would be enough to make Fiorentina's backline full of rumors

In the third minute of the game, Perugia passed the ball to Boothroyd, and Delicari saw that he couldn't grab the ball, so he forced Boothroyd behind him, so that he couldn't hold the ball, but Boothroyd still ferried the ball to Ravanelli in the air.

Ravanelli was still as brave as he had been when he was younger, breaking down Fontana's defence and following up with a powerful volley.

The ball was menacing, but Fiorentina goalkeeper Sejas was highly focused today, and he punched the ball out of the box.

The second spot was still picked up by Perugia, and the ball was curled into the box by Di Francesco, and Ravanelli and Boothroyd rushed towards the ball like two tanks.

Ravanelli's speed was not good, and Viary stuck the position in time, but today's wonder soldier Boothroyd used his body to suppress Delikari, and he was about to grab this header, Delikari had no choice but to throw Boothroyd down with both hands.

"Foul! Foul! ”

There was a lot of noise in the stands.

Force!

Referee Rossetti's whistle sounded almost simultaneously.

Kick!

Yellow!

Fiorentina had nothing to say, it was an uncontroversial free-kick and a yellow card, the free-kick was still there, but just three minutes into the game, the centre-back received a yellow card, and the rest of the game was too difficult to play.

The free-kick was taken by captain Angel Di Maria.

Di Maria's powerful volley penetrated the wall, but the ball grazed the post and flew off the line, which caused a chorus of regret in the audience.

After winning a free-kick and creating a yellow card, the Perugia man was even more aggressive, and the ball began to lie diagonally into the box to attack Fiorentina's two centre-backs to open the gap from De Licari.

For a while, Fiorentina's penalty area was full of soldiers, and soon, even the veteran Fontana also received a yellow card, which made winger Chen Yu have to go back to help defend and temporarily ease the tense situation.

However, at this time, Fiorentina's goalkeeper Sejas performed bravely, he attacked decisively, got several hangs from Perugia in a row, and passed to the wing, allowing Chen Yu to attack Perugia's wing. This made Perugia dare not attack Fiorentina's penalty area in such a simple and crude way, and Fontana, Delicari and Viari were barely relieved.
