PS3: Here I would like to thank the book friend "Tianyuan Hanqi" for the reward.

After the referee announced that Vincent's goal was valid, deafening cheers erupted from the stands at the Frankie Stadium-until then, the Fiorentina fans could finally breathe a sigh of relief temporarily and let go of their opposition to the team in this tournament. The worries about their future in the Champions League released their suppressed mood for nearly one and a half games!

After all, it was Fiorentina's first goal in the two legs of the Champions League semi-final.For Viola, who has always had a strong offensive firepower, such a scoring efficiency is undoubtedly a bit low.You know, in the quarter-finals that ended not long ago, Fiorentina, who was in the devil's schedule, still broke Arsenal's goal four times in the two rounds.

Therefore, facing a Villarreal team that is inferior to Arsenal in all aspects, the Viola, who played with all the main players, did not score their first goal until the second round was almost halfway through. In fact, it has been quite beyond the expectations of Fiorentina fans.

Vincent's goal disrupted Pellegrini's pre-match deployment, and the Chilean coach had to give up his plan to rely on positional warfare to deal with Fiorentina-after falling behind Viola in total score, they must Time to make a change.For example, sacrifice part of the defensive strength to strengthen the team's offense in order to tie the score as soon as possible.

However, due to the fact that Pellegrini asked the team to play a positional battle with Fiorentina, after the game restarted, the Villarreal players couldn't find the rhythm of the game for a while, and because of the risky attack It was almost defeated by Florence through a quick counterattack to expand the results.

Pellegrini, who is not experienced enough in coaching, obviously forgot that the players are not robots, they are more or less inertial, and after playing positional warfare for more than 40 minutes, they suddenly changed their style of play. normal.

The most important thing is that due to the existence of Riquelme, Villarreal is destined to be unable to speed up the pace of the game as a whole. After advancing to the frontcourt, he can rely on passing and flexible changes in rhythm to tear apart the opponent's defense. He cannot directly attack Florence's penalty area by speeding up the attack speed and game rhythm.

After such a long period of confrontation, Fiorentina players have basically mastered the characteristics of this opponent.They are very clear in their hearts that as long as they can defend the penalty area and the top of the arc, it will be extremely difficult for Villarreal to achieve results in the offense.

Sure enough, in the following time, Villarreal's offensive was quite vigorous.Under Riquelme's organization, they continued to attack Florence's defenses from all directions.However, with Fiorentina deploying heavy troops in the middle and the two sides strictly preventing the opponent from dribbling inside, although Villarreal's offense seems to be very smooth, it has never been able to create enough threats. The plight of heavy rain and small drops still plagued all of them.

Seeing that the remaining game time was getting less and less, Pellegrini had no choice but to put all his eggs in one basket. In the No. 70 minute, he replaced Tacchinardi with the teenager Cazorla, further strengthening the offense, hoping to see a miracle happen.

However, the subsequent development of the game made Pellegrini very disappointed.Although Cazorla's playing has brought more changes to Villarreal's offense, the yellow submarine's lack of strong attack ability and commanding heights has not been improved. Fiorentina can still adopt the strategy of defending the center and playing the side Strategies to deal with them.

Just as the distance between Fiorentina and the Champions League final was getting closer, the second turning point of the game came quietly at No. 809 minutes.Riquelme breaks free from Makelele's mark and passes to the right, Cazorla, Jose Mari with his back in the penalty area, trying to turn past Lucio and being knocked down by the latter In the penalty area, the referee Ivanov from Russia immediately blew his whistle to indicate that the Brazilian had made a defensive foul, pointed to the [-]-yard point, and awarded Villarreal a penalty!

The Fiorentina players were naturally very dissatisfied with Ivanov's penalty, and they all walked towards the Russian referee, trying to ask for a clear statement.The profitable Villarreal players also acted very quickly, preventing further contact between the Fiorentina players and the referee.

It can't be blamed for the Fiorentina players being so restless.After all, the two sides had a zero-to-zero tie in the first round. In this game, Fiorentina is only one goal ahead of the yellow submarine so far. Therefore, if Villarreal can seize this opportunity to tie the score If it is equalized, then Florence, which has few away goals, will face an extremely passive situation next!

At this time, Milito, Ballack and others felt a little regretful.In the more than 40 minutes after taking the lead, they created several good opportunities to expand the score advantage in the game, but they failed to grasp them.If they were able to seize one of these opportunities at that time, even if Villarreal gets a penalty kick, they will definitely be powerless.

At the same time, seeing Riquelme walking towards the [-]-yard point to take a penalty kick, Ronaldo, who was standing near the top of the penalty area, had an idea, and when the Argentine walked past him to place the ball, he suddenly moved towards the cloth. Feng's direction shouted: "Hey, Gianluigi (Buffon)! I bet you, this guy won't dare to kick the spoon later, because he doesn't have this mental quality at all!"

Although Riquelme didn't say anything about Ronaldo's words, the Portuguese noticed the clenched and quickly loosened hands from the opponent, knowing that his psychological tactics had actually worked. .

"This kid, he really is indispensable everywhere..." Hearing this, Buffon, who knows the Portuguese character very well, didn't know that Ronaldo was deliberately messing with Riquelme?So he just shook his head with a helpless smile, and then set up a posture in front of the goal, waiting for the opponent to shoot this penalty that will determine the fate of both parties.

Although Ronaldo is Portuguese, Riquelme, who was born in Argentina, is different from his native language, but because there is not much difference between Portuguese and Spanish, he can still understand the general meaning.

Riquelme also knew the intention of Ronaldo's move in his heart, but his sensitive character once again swayed his judgment at this time-hmph, didn't you say that I dare not kick the spoon?Then I'll give you a kick to see!
