Chapter 719 Childish Montella
Matri's recent state has shown signs of recovery. In the January game, he has scored 2 goals in a limited time. This is a good sign. The winter break transfer has ended, and Juventus has no What a big supplement, especially on the front line, Matri can get back a little state in time, which is exactly what Conte hopes to see.

In the victory over Chievo, Juventus did not perform particularly well. Conte did not express criticism after the game. He also praised the team's performance in the press conference after the game, but he was still beaten by Chievo. Scored a goal and brooded.

Now Juventus has a big defensive problem. Since the winter break, only 2 games have not conceded a goal, which is enough to explain the problem. Conte now misses Chiellini and Asamoah very much.

After playing Chievo, his life will be better again. Asamoah has returned. He hopes that Asamoah's return will be positive for Juventus.

Naples was still biting the tail of Juventus behind them, Juventus won, they also won, and always kept the difference between the two at 5 points.

On the afternoon of February 2th, Juventus ushered in their rival Fiorentina at their home court. Montella took office in Fiorentina this season and led the team very well.

Montella's ability has been proven in Catania, and he is considered a fledgling in Rome. Although the Roma team did not give Montella any more time to prove himself, Catania did.

Montella is quick to get started with a team, and he is also very smart and good at using his brain. He belongs to the kind of coach who looks at the food instead of ordering food. It is the same in Catania, and it is the same in Florence. , it is impossible for these two clubs to provide him with large sums of money to buy people.

Montella got started very quickly in Fiorentina. According to the characteristics of Fiorentina players, he quickly developed a play style of passing and controlling skills. At their home court, they once played Juventus without temper. That game was Juventus Draw with Florence.

This time back to Juventus' home court, the situation in Juventus is completely different now. Conte is very concerned about this game, because he can't afford to ignore it at all, and Naples behind him is watching.

Juventus is also a good player in possession of the ball, but it may not be able to gain the upper hand when they encounter Fiorentina, who is skilled and aggressive. Conte's arrangement for the team before the game is to compete in the midfield and retreat slowly. , Fight back on the spot.

Montella is very good, but he also has an immature side. Compared with Conte, Montella sometimes gets muddled. For example, in this game, he seemed to have tasted the sweetness of the first round. Montella continued to stick to the tactics of that game. Law.

In terms of preparation, he fell behind. After the start of the game, Fiorentina's momentum was aggressive. Montella's idea is not without some grounds. Juventus will go to the away game in the Champions League in the middle of the week. Juventus is very likely At the beginning of the game, he resorted to rushing to attack and resolve the battle early, and Montella's tactics can be regarded as repaying his own body in his own way, forcing Juventus into a midfield battle with oppression.

But he was wrong, Juventus played tepidly, the two teams competed in the midfield, Fiorentina even had the upper hand, Juventus tied their fences very tightly, Fiorentina was not too easy to threaten Juventus' gate.

As a coach, Montella is also different from Conte. Conte is always full of passion on the sidelines, while Montella appears mature and stable, which is quite appropriate to his image of a handsome guy. Conte is not Montella is handsome.

Fiorentina's formation is very high. They are very bold in the defense and frequently use offside tactics. Juventus used long passes to hit behind more today. There were three long passes in the opening 10 minutes. Coincidentally, They all succeeded, but Vucinic was offside once and Zhang Yuan was offside twice, none of which posed a substantial threat.

This state can be regarded as a wake-up call for Fiorentina, but unfortunately Montella is still indifferent. He may think that this is not a threat, maybe he thinks he must do this in order to maintain the team's frontcourt attack.

He suffered a lot when he thought this way. In the 20th minute, Juventus once again stole the ball in the backcourt. Pirlo played a long pass again. At the first point, he rubbed the ball, Vucinic was not offside this time, Vucinic accelerated and caught up with the ball, but Vucinic did not completely get rid of Rodriguez, but He still forcibly dribbles forward, and he is really absolutely confident in himself.

He went into the penalty area, faked a shot, lured Rodriguez to make a sliding tackle, and then dunked and shot again. Viviano really couldn't save his team this time. Juventus was at his home court. 1:0 lead.

Zhang Yuan, who is not good at headers, gave a header assist, and Vucinic staged a long time not to go to the meeting alone, the attack was simple and the goal was beautiful.

Conte clenched his fists on the sidelines, and he was very proud. Montella was obviously inferior in the opening arrangement, allowing himself to seize the opportunity, and Montella on the other side hadn't realized his mistake.

Vucinic is very happy and excited. It has been a long time since he scored such a wonderful goal. The arrival of Zhang Yuan is completely sad for these forwards. His role has been weakened and his scoring efficiency has also dropped a lot. The second forward Competition for positions is fierce.

As the saying goes, extreme joy begets sorrow. After only 2 minutes, Vucinic was unlucky. It was Rodriguez who kicked and injured Vucinic in the fight. Vucinic could not persist in the game and was forced to end the game.

Conte replaced Vucinic with Matri, who has been in good form recently. Vucinic can cross positions with Zhang Yuan. He is also a technical striker. Matri plays and Zhang Yuan retreats. More is needed. Matri is a point-grabbing striker on the whole, with insufficient ability to play the ball, let alone organizational ability.

After Conte scored a goal, his instructions to the players were more clear. He hoped that the players could work hard to control the rhythm. Now they can't take the initiative, and the defense is very passive.

Zhang Yuan is equivalent to playing the role of a midfielder. The investment in this role gave Juventus an advantage in midfield control. Fiorentina is a technical player, but compared to Juventus, they are more impatient. He was also a little aggressive on the ball, but fell behind.

Juventus's defense line today is not only without Chiellini, but even Bonucci did not play. The defense line is Barzagli leading Marrone and Peruso, but this line of defense has not been tested much today.

And Juventus's style of play is also simple, try to control the ball, steal and counterattack, the picture is a quick word.

In the 40th minute, Juventus scored another goal, and still had the opportunity to counterattack on the spot. They seized the gap in Fiorentina. There is no greed for merit when entering the penalty area, and the ball is crossed to Matri, who is unguarded. Matri hits an empty goal and makes another victory.

As soon as the goal was scored, Montella waved his arm angrily no matter how good-tempered he was. Under the intensive defense of Juventus, Fiorentina's pass success rate was not high, which is where Montella got angry.

Zhang Yuan and Matri hugged each other tightly. Zhang Yuan obviously had a chance to shoot, but he still gave it to Matri selflessly. How could Matri not understand the friendship? He hoped that Zhang Yuan's selflessness would give himself Bring good luck, the second half of the season should not be as unlucky as the first half of the season, with injuries and a sluggish state.

In the 65th minute of the second half, Zhang Yuan was replaced by Qiao Wenke. Conte shook hands with Zhang Yuan in satisfaction. Although he failed to score, Zhang Yuan's role was too obvious. Both goals were assisted by him. , there is the Champions Cup in the middle of the week, and Conte has to save his strength in advance. He has a great probability of winning the game today, but Vucinic has been injured. Initially, it seems that it will be difficult to play in the Champions Cup in the middle of the week , Fiorentina fought much harder in the second half, and Conte was afraid that he would end up with his mainstay again. Then this victory was not worth the loss, and he would rather not.

The more Fiorentina attacked fiercely, the more Juventus played defensively. At the end of the game, a goal was not conceded. This is really hard to see after the winter break. Conte expressed satisfaction with everyone and conceded a goal It's not a good habit, it will have a bad effect on the players if they get used to it, maybe they will think that conceding goals is nothing, as long as they can win.

Once this kind of thought arises, needless to say, it will be fatal. Conte hopes that the whole team will establish the concept that conceding a goal is a shame, and kill all dangers in the cradle.
