Volume 1 Chapter 286 Capello who lost his wife and lost his soldiers
AC Milan, Juventus, Fiorentina 54, Inter Milan, Udinese 49.
This is the points situation of the top five places in the Serie A table after 30 rounds.
Tough home defeat to Juventus, Fiorentina narrowed the gap between themselves and the top of the table to ll points, in the case of eight rounds of games to end, the ll points are almost insurmountable, Fiorentina no longer have any hope of winning the championship, the joy of victory is more because of the left Udinese behind, the 5-point gap makes Fiorentina finally relieved, can not worry about being overtaken by latecomers all the time.
The big battle between Juventus and Fiorentina is the focus of this round, and many people want to know what the result of Fiorentina's risky change of coach will be brought by this game, and they also hope that Fiorentina can bring a little change to the pattern of the two powers.
The results show that Fiorentina still have a strong fighting spirit, and although Juventus were distracted by the Champions League in midweek, they were able to hold the old lady to death for 90 minutes and break the door of Gianluigi Buffon four times.
After the game, interim head coach Busso praised the performance of the players, saying that they showed a strong desire to fight and played like a man, and praised Chen Yu and Chiellini by name.
'Chen Yu is at the heart of us, he tried a new position in the first half today, left midfield, but he played a huge role at both ends of the pitch, scoring two of the four goals and playing a big role in the other two.
Today we only had three defenders, but Chiellini scored a goal while defending, he has grown very quickly and has now become an indispensable part of our backline, and I am sure there will be a place for the Italian national team in the future. ”
Capello lost 4 away and 1 at home without any temper, and in the post-match press conference, the gold medal coach said that he was convinced of Fiorentina: "We have to admit that Fiorentina played very well today, we did not have an advantage in attack and defense, they should win ......, today's game, the players on the field did everything they could, but we did not perform enough, the opponent always scored one more goal than us Fiorentina is indeed a difficult team to play. I don't think the players are to blame, it's a close game and we have a do-or-die game in midweek, so all I can say is that it's good that we've had enough points ahead and it's good that AC Milan are drawn. “
After the game, the media gave Busso an excellent first game in charge, believing that the interim manager had seized the opportunity well, mobilized the enthusiasm of the players, and made full use of Juventus' distraction in the Champions League to play a beautiful game.
Torino's "All Sports" commented: "The team is still the same team, the players are still the same players, but the mental outlook is very different, the Florence team that appeared at the Frankie Stadium is stronger, and the tactics are more flexible, Busso discharged two formations in this game, one is 35 and one is 13, the effect is very good, however, this is based on the fact that Juventus players dare not fight, if Juventus does not think about Liverpool in midweek, let go of his hands and feet and fight with Fiorentina, The final outcome is difficult to predict.
"Milan Sports Newspaper" said: "4:7 goals, this is a score that no one would have thought of before the game, the conservative Juventus actually played such a crazy score, which can only show that Fiorentina forced Capello to be anxious today, Zebina's injury, Emerson and Trezeguet's snow hiding has a great impact on Juventus, their shortcomings are obvious, and Fiorentina is stubbornly grasping the weaknesses of the Juventus people, Billindeli, Montero, have become the victims of Chinese Chen, Almost three of the four goals were scored by the two of them, and for Capello, the only thing to congratulate was that Ibrahimovic scored again, and two goals were scored, which will play a pivotal role for Juventus in the Champions League and the league later. “
England's media "The Sun" analyzed the reasons for Juventus' loss, believing that Juventus's air defense is a shortcoming, and the right-back is not worthy of Juventus's identity as a giant, Fiorentina's full-field pressing and high-altitude bombing are a great threat to Juventus, and three of the four goals are headers, which shows how big a problem Juventus's air defense is.
The Sun hopes that Liverpool can learn from Fiorentina's style of play, capitalize on Juventus' weaknesses and knock out the Serie A giants to reach the semi-finals.
The 4:3 win over Juventus at home also made Busso get the support of some fans and reporters, and "Roma Sport" said that instead of asking Prandelli to come out of the mountain now, it is better to let Busso take it first, after all, this team Busso is very familiar, he is not much different from Mondonico, and the new coach arrives, and the players have to adapt to the new style of play, and it is very likely that the results will plummet.
"Daily Sports" also called for a little time for Busso to see if the goalkeeper coach can withstand the pressure of Serie A and play well, and then consider changing the coach, there are still 8 rounds left in the game, and it really doesn't mean much to change the coach now.
Fiorentina FC did not get Prandelli for the time being, so they could only let Busso continue to coach.
President de la Valle comforted the fans and interim coach Busso: "It was a very good game, it was the most beautiful game of the season, the players were very motivated, the manager was very skillful in the formation, the two adjustments were relatively good, such a coach is fully worthy of Fiorentina." “
As interim manager, Busso must have been in high spirits after beating Juventus, the strongest team in Serie A, as he took over, but he can't relax yet, with Fiorentina nine points off second place and five points above fifth, Fiorentina must keep winning to keep their current position.
Fiorentina's next opponent is Livorno, the same promoted horse, Livorno is in the middle of the table, belonging to the group of those who have no desire, although Fiorentina is playing away, there is still a lot of hope for victory.
Serie A certainly wasn't the focus of media attention this week, though, with the four Champions League games in midweek being the top priority.
In the quarterfinals of the Champions League, there are three seats in Serie A, Milan and Juventus, and in the quarterfinals, Milan and Juventus will play a civil war, although they will eliminate one of the top four, but at least one Serie A team will enter the top four
Juventus play Liverpool, and it's a contest between the old league and the emerging powers.
The entry of a large amount of gold dollar capital has made the Premier League more and more attractive, and they have also posed a great threat to Serie A like La Liga, and now their popularity has loomed above Serie A.
The contest between Juventus and Liverpool is, to some extent, a contest between two leagues
Juventus had a fierce battle with Fiorentina in midweek, although Juventus did not do their best, but the game was so intense that the players consumed a lot of physical and mental energy.
Juventus were not excited about the midweek game against Liverpool, they lost away from home, and they had to score goals at home, but under Liverpool's tenacious defense and full-time pressing, they seemed to have little to do to threaten Liverpool's goal.
And Liverpool obviously borrowed from Fiorentina's style of play, attacking Juventus' right-back, and threatening Juventus's door with high-altitude bombing, playing Juventus in danger, if it weren't for Liverpool's poor striker, Juventus might have conceded the first goal.
In the 90th minute, except for Cannavaro's header that hit the post in the first 10 minutes of the final game, Juventus almost attacked like an itch in the boots, and in the entire first half, Juventus only had two shots on goal, while Liverpool only had one shot on goal, and in the end no one scored, and after an ugly 00, Juventus was eliminated from the semi-finals by Liverpool without dignity.
In the other Champions League match, Milan and Inter Milan played so violently that the game had to be stopped by the police before it was finished.
The Milan derby has always been the hottest, and this Milan derby that met in the quarter-finals of the Champions League was clearly even hotter.
Since AC Milan won at home 0 in the first leg, in the second leg, Inter Milan must score more than two goals before AC Milan can score.
In the 30th minute of the game, AC Milan relied on Sheva's goal meter to lead, and the basically desperate Inter Milan fans began to make trouble, after Cambiaso's goal was invalidated by referee Merck in the first minute, the desperate and aggrieved Inter Milan fans began to throw mineral water bottles, and then threw all kinds of fireworks down, when Da bent down to clean up the fireworks and water bottles, a firework hit his right shoulder directly, and the sparks also splashed on the head of the Brazilian goalkeeper, Dida immediately fell to the ground with his head in his hands, and the staff rushed to carry Dida away from the danger zone.
Seeing Dida fall to the ground, the extreme fans of Inter Milan still did not stop, and the referee Merck, after negotiating with the captains and coaches of both sides, decided to temporarily stop the game, and the players went back to the dressing room first just in case. The L floor of the stands at the entrance of the San Siro Stadium was also largely emptied and controlled by the police.
After the game was suspended for P minutes, AC Milan replaced the injured Dida with Abbiati, and the game between the two teams resumed, but only ten seconds after the game was restarted, fireworks and water bottles flew down again from the second-floor stands behind the Milan gate stands, and even mixed with umbrellas and other debris, and the momentum continued unabated. Seeing this, Merck decisively decided to stop the game again. and the stadium superintendent temporarily declared AC Milan the winner.
In the remaining two Champions League games, Chelsea eliminated the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich in two legs with U:5, and PSV Eindhoven drew with Lyon over two legs, eliminated the Ligue 1 team on penalties and advanced to the semi-finals.
PSV Eindhoven take on AC Milan in the semi-finals, with Chelsea and Liverpool battling it out for a place in the remaining final.
