The Era of Emerald

Chapter 202 Champions Cup Opening Match

() In the second half of the game, the score on the court was still [-]-[-], and Fiorentina led Rangers away.

In the rest of the first half, although the Rangers continued to attack Fiorentina's defense under the leadership of Gascoigne, they did not create any good scoring opportunities. Cai Cai's counterattack, if it weren't for the help of the goal post, the score would have been rewritten to [-]-[-] at the end of the first half.

Felicano and McCoist are entangled in the penalty area. He is quite experienced in marking such a tall center. Vieri, the disciple of Titus, was on the position, and he was quite experienced in dealing with such a tall center after being tortured by two centers.Especially now that the 33-year-old "old" McCoist has begun to experience a sharp decline in physical fitness, and this traditional center relies most on his own physical fitness, so Felicano, who is just 28 years old, is man-marking. His timing was spot on.

At this time, Laudrup Jr. barely broke through Lanner's defense from the wing and made a cross. Felicano immediately entangled with McCoyst, and then pushed the ball out first.

Gascoigne rushed up to intercept the ball, but Di Biagio, who was faster, got ahead of him. The two were about the same height, but Di Biagio's physical fitness was better than that of the alcoholic Gascoigne is much stronger.

Gascoigne is indeed a rare talented player in English football in ten years and one of the most creative midfielders in Europe. However, his indulgent attitude towards life made him leave the mainstream league early. At that time, his body had already started to have some problems, but they had not fully exploded. After he was 30 years old, long-term bad living habits would completely destroy this talented midfielder.

After Di Biagio got the ball, he didn't advance with the ball, but quickly passed the ball to Effenberg in front.

The German Tigers turned around with the ball, out of the way of Ian Ferguson's defense, and then a diagonal pass gave the ball to Rui Costa who pulled the ball to the left.

The Portuguese midfielder looked up for a while, raised his foot and sent a long pass across the entire field, directly sending the ball from the left side of his own half to the right side of the opponent's half. It was Ronaldo who opened the scoring for the team in the first half!

Costa's long pass is quite accurate. Since the Rangers just pressed the attack, his backcourt is full of space to accelerate the sprint. Although it seems that Costa's pass is relatively strong, it just allows him to Ronaldo showed his sprint speed.

A defender on the left of the Rangers immediately rushed to the point where the ball fell, but Ronaldo sprinted directly in the direction of the goal, and he needed to turn around before catching up.

The speed of the alien who has not suffered a serious knee injury is terrifying. In his peak period, he said that he used his physical fitness to overtake forcibly many times, and it is natural to deal with the slow-turning Rangers defender.

Seeing that his teammates couldn't get ahead of Ronaldo to clear the siege, Boli immediately chose to run directly in the direction of his own goal. After all, even if Ronaldo ran happily on the side, the final shot still had to return to the center to complete it. That said, Fiorentina's real threat is Roberto Baggio following up in the middle.

But the Baggio that Boli has to deal with is not easy to deal with. Baggio in this period is not the team organizer he later was in Brescia, but a forward who is known for his agility. At his peak, he is also quite fast. Hurry up, Boli, who was desperately chasing back, failed to catch up with him...

Ronaldo finally caught up to Costa's long pass when he was approaching the corner of the penalty area. Looking up, he found that Baggio had followed him from the center.

But it was too late for him to slow down immediately. After all, if he slowed down and stopped the ball, a few seconds would be enough for the Rangers defender behind him to entangle him, and this rare offensive opportunity would be wasted.

Therefore, without slowing down at all, the Brazilian raised his right foot and passed a cross pass without waiting for the ball to land!

At this time, Baggio also saw Ronaldo's pass, and once again increased his speed by a gear. Boli's risky shovel chasing after him failed to touch Baggio.Baggio, who rushed into the penalty area, stretched out his foot to stop the ball from Ronaldo, then leaned over, facing the attacking Rangers goalkeeper, he easily hit a curved ball with his right foot...

The opponent's goalkeeper couldn't make a save, so he could only watch helplessly as the ball flew over his head, then slanted into the goal behind him...

Two to zero!Fiorentina once again broke through the goal of Rangers with a quick counterattack!

After conceding the ball, the Rangers did not stop the rhythm of the attack. The head coach Smith's response was to make the offense more violent-he may not be unable to see that Fiorentina is playing a defensive counterattack in this game, but the current game situation makes him Difficult to ride a tiger If you can't gain an advantage in the game against Fiorentina, then the Rangers are likely to be dispatched to the UEFA Cup after the group stage is over.

As a result, the frenziedly attacking Rangers were hit hard again 10 minutes later.

No. In the 60th minute, Gascoigne dribbled the ball and tried to kill a bloody path in the middle, but the ball under his feet was broken by Kripa who was chasing back.

After the tackle, Kripa swept the ball with his right foot and passed the ball to Costa, who also retreated. The Portuguese raised his foot and made a long pass, directly behind the Rangers defenders!

At this time, a purple figure rushed out obliquely and caught the ball at the front of the penalty area!

It's Ronaldo!A standard direct pass oblique insertion!

Ronaldo grabbed the ball in front of the opponent's goalkeeper who was attacking. Without slowing down, he directly passed the ball to the goalkeeper's left hand side, and rushed over easily. When the Rangers goalkeeper turned around and looked at the ball in embarrassment, he All you can see is the number printed on the back of Ronaldo's jersey!

Three to zero!The overall situation is settled!

After leading by three goals, the morale of the Rangers players has declined to the extreme. If they still hope to tie the score when they are two goals behind, then they are three goals behind and the game is less than half an hour away. A player thinks his team can do miracles.

However, the Fiorentina players didn't accept it as soon as it was good. Instead, they turned their backs and began to attack the Rangers' home court. They planned to vent their grievances about the team's loss to Vicenza three days ago...

As a result, the Rangers players, whose morale had plummeted, were obviously unable to keep up with Fiorentina's offensive rhythm, and were led by the nose by the highly morale Fiorentina players.

No.805 minutes, the two Fiorentina players who came off the bench completed a wonderful cooperation. Djorkaeff played Alex Cleland on the wing and then broke into the penalty area, and then made a homeopathic kickback to get out of the way Boli, who came up to defend, cleverly sent the ball to the feet of Philip Inzaghi, who was also on the bench!

Facing the goalkeeper of the Rangers team, Inzaghi showed his demeanor as a "fox in the penalty area". With a weak but extremely precise push, the ball passed through the opponent's goalkeeper's armpit and flew directly into the goalkeeper. The far corner of the goal, four to zero!
