On the pitch, Lazio, who took the lead in kick-off, were in no hurry to attack, and they naturally could not give their opponents easy tackles as they knew the sharpness of Fiorentina's counter-attack. Seeing Andrea Pirlo and Andriy Shevchenko pressing towards his position, Veron decisively played a clean return pass to Diego Simeone behind him - as the heart of Lazio's top playmaker, the Argentine wizard was clearly prepared for a long game against Fiorentina in this game.

One of the reasons why Veron chose this way is because manager Eriksen set them up that way before the game started. After all, Shevchenko and Inzaghi's strength is more evident in counter-attacks, and they are far inferior to Vieri in breaking down dense defenses. Without the containment and ball making of this Italian center forward, Sheva and Pippo would have to spend several times more effort than usual to get space to shoot!

Therefore, after learning that Vieri's positional battle killer did not enter the starting list, the Swedes immediately changed their original combat strategy and issued an order to the players to first stabilize the defense in the game, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack! Veron, who has a high ball quotient, naturally understood this instruction from the head coach and implemented it well after the game started!

As for the other reason why Veron chose this way, it is mainly because of the limitations of Lazio's starting lineup configuration for this game. Although Nedved and Stankovic have the hallmarks of full-backs and are also top-notch, their power in attack is more reflected in their tireless running and powerful long-range shots. Compared to Conceicao's pure wingers, who can force their way through opposing players with their speed, they are not only inferior in speed, but their dribbling skills are only average, and it is difficult to rely on individual ability to break through the defense of Zambrotta and Kaladze, so as to tear a hole in the Fiorentina defence.

Therefore, under the combined effect of the general lack of breakthrough ability of his teammates in the front court, as well as the tactical arrangement of the head coach, Veron naturally could not choose to attack the Fiorentina defense, and could only shrink the formation with his teammates to lure the opponent to take the initiative to press the attack. In doing so, Lazio will be able to get more opportunities to counter-attack quickly - Veron's passing is notoriously accurate, and the Argentine wizard's wide passing vision ensures that he can deliver scalpel-like passes in the first place; Although Nedved and Stankovic's speed is average, their off-ball running awareness and physical confrontation ability are first-class, so although they are not suitable for any forced breakthroughs, they are still good players if they play pass and cut together.

So, after receiving a pass from Veron, the Lazio players began to keep their feet on the back, attracting the Fiorentina players to continue pressing and pressing, while patiently looking for opportunities to counterattack. Fiorentina, on the other hand, made steady progress under the leadership of Andrea Pirlo and Deco, pressing and carefully guarding against counter-attacks.

In the face of the aggressive forward pressing of the Fiorentina players, the Lazio players had to speed up the transfer of the ball, so as not to appear that the opponent broke the ball in the back field and successfully hit the goal directly - with the ability of the Fiorentina players to seize the opportunity, if this situation really happened, then the Lazio players may not even have the opportunity to foul, and can only pray that Macediani still has his own goal enough.

Having said that, even if they want to stop Fiorentina's offensive and disrupt the rhythm of Purple Lily's attack by fouling Guò, Lazio players have to weigh more in their hearts. Pirlo and Deco are both good free-kicks, and if the Lazio players don't choose the right spot when they foul them, they can take them as penalties when they're in good form......

Under the pressure of the Fiorentina players, the Lazio players who accelerated the speed of the back ball finally made a passing error, after all, they did not have a technical player like Redondo or Deco in the midfield position, and they did not specialize in intensive training in this area, so mistakes were inevitable.

Some may argue that Lazio have a full week of preparation time before the game, so why didn't Eriksen strengthen his players during this time?

So, just four minutes into the game, Shevchenko and the sudden Andrea Pirlo teamed up to steal the ball at Almeida's feet, and before the Lazio players could react, the latter sent a through ball!

Despite being only a weak champion in his prime, Pirlo's pass was very well controlled, his pass passed between Grandoni and Mihajlovic, and the big Inzaghi who stabbed in the diagonal stab received Pirlo's through ball that directly penetrated the entire Lazio backline and burst into the penalty area, just in time for Maciegiani to shoot into the far corner of the goal!

In the face of Inzaghi's push, Macegiani, who couldn't react, could only watch the ball fly into the goal!

1 to 0! Fiorentina, playing at home, scored first!

After seeing the referee signal that the goal was valid, Inzaghi clenched his fists and roared to the sky, then ran frantically to the stands to receive cheers from the Fiorentina fans. Pippo's goalscoring luck has not been good this season, and at this stage of the league game, the former Serie A Golden Boot and Serie A individual goal record holder in a single season has scored just 12 league goals so far. This number is not only far from Inzaghi's peak of 36 goals in a single season, but also far worse than the same period last year!

You must know that at the end of last season's league games, Inzaghi still had 23 league goals, but now it is good, so far, Pippo has just more than half of last season's league goals. Such a situation naturally makes the striker, who regards scoring goals as his first priority, very uncomfortable.

Inzaghi's league goal tally this season has fallen so badly, and this phenomenon is obviously inseparable from Shevchenko's arrival. Before the arrival of the Ukrainian nuclear warhead in Fiorentina, Pippo had never fallen out of the top three in the Fiorentina forward order, and the manager had positioned him to find a goal to complete the fatal blow. Under this arrangement, Inzaghi, who is good at seizing opportunities, will naturally not be far behind.

After Shevchenko joined, the Ukrainian's successive goals in the season allowed Heynckes to increase his playing time, and Inzaghi's playing order was naturally moved back to fourth place, coupled with factors such as incompatibility with Shevchenko and bad luck, which led to a sharp drop in the number of goals scored by the opportunistic goalscorer this season!

It is precisely for this reason that Inzaghi, who has been depressed for most of the season, was so excited after scoring this goal, although he always looked crazy after scoring a goal......
