Chapter 139 Provocation
Dilivio is still a substitute, with Chen Yu serving as the team captain.
Livorno's captain is Lucarelli the Greater.
When the two teams exchanged team flags and badges, Lucarelli sneered and said to Chen Yu: "You shouldn't play. Even if you win, I don't have much pleasure.
Chen Yu smiled disdainfully: "You can score the goal first and then talk. Bragging is easy to get slapped in the face."
Lucarelli was so arrogant that he said, "You wait."
"In other words, I'm tired of hearing it." Chen Yu turned around and left with a smirk.
"You..." Lucarelli looked at Chen Yu's back and walked back to his team with hatred.
Outsiders didn't know what happened between the two captains, only Lucarelli, who was familiar with them, knew that he must be having an oral confrontation. Obviously, from his brother's expression, it can be seen that his brother suffered a small loss.
The game is about to begin. Fans of both sides stood in the stands and kept cheering for their players. As the team's flag figures, Chen Yu and Lucarelli received the most applause. However, Chen Yu, who played at home, obviously had an advantage. The fan group that surpassed the opponent nearly ten times quickly completely covered up the opponent's fans, and the entire Frankie Stadium became a voice, "Chen Chen Chen..."
Chen Yu tried hard to exchange applause for the fans. He once again felt the fans' love for him in the club, and he also felt the happiness and respect brought to him by football again. His injured experience comforted him. He felt that even without the national team and the World Cup, football was enough to bring him happiness.
The live commentator of Florence said emotionally: "This is Chen's home court! This is Chen's stage! Here, Chen is the only protagonist, there is no falsehood, evil and ugliness, no self-kill between companions, only the pure happiness of football, Chen! Enjoy your game to your heart's content!"
The reporters standing on the sidelines also pointed the camera at Chen Yu and kept taking pictures, especially several Chinese reporters. They had already conceived while shooting, and used heaven and hell to describe Chen Yu's experiences over the past few days. In fact, heaven and hell can just fit the current situation between Italian football and Chinese football.
Three minutes later, referee Paparesta blew the whistle to start the game
Livorno, who played away, took the lead in kicking off.
After Lucarelli and Guergio, who were standing in the middle circle, kicked off, quickly stepped forward and ran towards the penalty area of Florence, while his companion Guergio did not run fast, as if he was about to let Lucarelli go deeper by his arrow alone.
Fiorentina did not intend to be conservative at the beginning. Although Chen Yu had some problems before the game, he was praised as a ten-game winning streak. Fiorentina is now amazing and has no caution when facing the leader. It completely shows that I want to eat you.
The two head coaches standing on the sidelines were both very pretending, and both sides walked on the coach's seat and did not get up, but their expressions were serious and nervous, and they obviously were not completely relieved about the game.
Although Lucarelli went deep alone, this is the essence of Livorno's formation and style of play.
Livorno played in a 451 formation, and Lucarelli was always at the forefront. His task was to disrupt the opponent's defense and win the organization's time and space for his midfield.
Livorno is a team that has always played in the team. Although Lucarelli scored so many goals, it accounts for more than half of the entire team, Livorno is not his own team. Livorno's letter of defense under Mazzari's coaching is clear and cooperates with tacit understanding. Their rapid and smooth transmission in the midfield makes every Serie B team feel a headache, especially after Lucarelli messed up the opponent's defense line in the frontcourt, the smooth organization of the midfield can exert its power. In many games in Livorno, the goals were almost passed to the opponent's goal, which shows their tacit understanding of cooperation.
Fiorentina is obviously very clear about Livorno's characteristics. They are very pressing against the frontcourt, not allowing their opponents to form an advantage in the midfield, nor allowing their opponents to press on the backcourt. At the same time, they also implement fast pressing and foul tactics in their backcourt to obstruct their opponents' organization in the midfield. Once they get the ball, they will immediately pass the ball with a long pass to Rigano or Chen Yu to perform the fastest strike, directly avoiding the opponent's midfield and hitting their most important penalty area.
Although Livorno controlled the ball after the opening, he was also very afraid of Fiorentina's style of playing. After all, people like Rigano and Chen Yu stood inside and outside their penalty area. Chen Yu scored 43 goals, and Rigano also scored 22 goals, which together 65 of them were a data that most teams in Serie B could not score. Maybe if they were careless, the goal could be pierced by these two forwards.
During the game, fans of both sides quickly discovered similarities between Chen Yu and Lucarelli when playing football. Their running positions and even dribbling and stopping are very similar. If Chen Yu had not been a little short, he would have played more like a midfielder in the penalty area, breaking through sharply and organizing with a steady organization. They really thought that these two Lucarelli were playing football.
The derby is a derby, and the game has entered a white-hot heat at the beginning. The offense and defense of both sides are very fast. Fiorentina's personal ability allows them to gain the upper hand in the local area, one-on-one breakthrough, or one-on-one, two-on-two defense. However, Livorno's repair and defense are very timely. There are loopholes there, and then their companions will fill in, not giving the opponent the chance to seize this loophole.
Fiorentina has strong personal abilities, but their cooperation is not as tacit as their opponents and is very restrained. Especially when Livorno speeds up the ball, this is a big test for Fiorentina's defense, because the opponent does not give Fiorentina a one-on-one defense opportunity at all. Several consecutive one-on-one and two-on-two cooperation will immediately form a situation of more and less, forcing Fiorentina to adopt a foul tactic.
In the 8th minute of the game, Livorno scored the first goal.
This was a quick attack by Livorno. The ball was passed in succession at the front of the penalty area. When the ball was finally passed by Geergio's feet, Geergio did not directly take the ball, but let the ball go and tweeted it with his toes to pass the ball to his companion Villex.
Villex missed again and the ball was passed to Severini who was inserted in the back row.
At this moment, Fiorentina's defense could not be fixed, and Derekari could only foul and pull Severini who broke through and wanted to break into the penalty area.
Referee Paparesta blew a whistle, gave Derikari a yellow card, and awarded a free kick.
Lucarelli took the free kick. Lucarelli's free kick skills were very good. He volleyed vigorously and pierced the close-range free kick and threw it into the net. Fiorentine goalkeeper Sejas had no way to do anything, so he could only watch the ball enter the net.
1:O
Lucarelli scored first.
The proud Livorno striker put his hand on his ear and ran to the stands in Florence.
This was a provocation, with Fiorentina fans booing and throwing debris at Lucarelli.
The arrogant Lucarelli didn't care. He proudly stretched out a little finger, provoked the fans, and then ran back.
Chapter completed!
