The Era of Emerald

ps1: Thank you "Jie" for voting for four update tickets, but I seem to have said before, since I have already worked, so keeping daily updates is the limit, update tickets are really hard to say... So, we I have no choice but to return these update tickets regrettably, please forgive me.

ps2: In fact, what I want more is the ticket. You can feel free to give a reward or something. It is best to avoid updating the ticket...

This time the Toyota Cup match was scheduled for December 1996, 12, a full five days later than the Juventus decisive battle in history.

This change is actually due to Zhuang Mingge, a little butterfly fluttering its wings. It was at his suggestion that UEFA President Johansson made up his mind to expand the European Champions Cup one year in advance, making the group stage match The number has increased greatly, and the result is that the Toyota Cup match originally scheduled for the end of November happened to collide with the Champions League match.

Johansson, who has been committed to expanding the power of European football, naturally cannot allow Fiorentina to postpone the Champions League and go to Japan thousands of miles away to play the Toyota Cup. Zhuang Mingge, who has a good friendship with Johansson, has no intention of turning against the opponent over such a matter. .In any case, although FIFA is the boss of all football associations in name, in fact Florence's immediate boss is UEFA under Johansson.

In this way, after Fiorentina sent someone to negotiate with the River Plate Club and the event organizer, the game time was delayed to December 12st.

The time soon came to the night of the game. To Zhuang Mingge's surprise, the entire Tokyo National Stadium almost became Florence's home stadium this night!

I saw that the four stands of the stadium were almost full of fans with the Fiorentina logo, and many of them put on a Fiorentina home uniform on the outermost side, rendering the whole stadium purple; The number of River Plate fans is far inferior to that of Fiorentina. Zhuang Mingge only saw a small group of fans wearing River Plate jerseys in a corner of the opposite stand desperately trying to create a sense of presence.

"Haha, Chairman Corleone, I wonder if you are satisfied with the atmosphere tonight?" Just when Zhuang Mingge was dumbfounded at the scene in front of him, Saburo Chuanbuchi walked into the VIP box with a smile on his face. [

"It turns out that this is thanks to you, Chairman Chuanbuchi. I was just wondering, when did my Florence have such a big appeal in Japan?" Seeing Saburo Chuanbuchi walking in, Zhuang Mingge immediately realized this. What is going on.

It must be Saburo Kawabuchi who quietly disclosed a series of cooperation projects between Florence and the Japanese Football Association to the Japanese people below, which made the status of the Fiorentina club in the eyes of Japanese fans soar in just a few days. The Japanese Football Association and a group of Japanese consortiums were privately building momentum for Florence, which made the Japanese, who should have maintained a neutral attitude, overwhelmingly support Florence.

After all, how old is the River Plate team compared to Fiorentina, which has a close relationship with domestic football?I believe this is what most Japanese fans think at this time.

"I think, Chairman Corleone, you must really want to know how many River Plate fans entered the stadium to watch the game, right?" Saburo Kawabuchi was smiling triumphantly at this time, looking like an old fox.

"Uh, how many are there?" Zhuang Mingge naturally asked curiously.

"According to the data conveyed by the stadium, only 1143 fans from Argentina came to cheer for River Plate, and the rest came to cheer for you."

Only more than 1000 Argentines came from afar to support the River Plate team. This Argentine giant is really sad... Zhuang Mingge thought gloatingly in his heart.He did not express any objection to this. After all, these actions of Kawabuchi Saburo are quite beneficial to Florence. Besides, this is not a black whistle or a match-fixing, so there is no need for him to say anything.

As for whether this is fair to River Plate?I'm sorry, Zhuang Mingge thinks that he is not in the mood to sympathize with his opponent. Let Fiorentina and Italian football become the top existence in the world. This is his goal.

After the game started, Fiorentina immediately launched a fierce attack towards the gate of the River Plate, because Capello's tactics in this game were to deal with the River Plate team by playing fast and speeding up the pace of the game.

After all, these South American players are quite good in terms of foot skills. They have long been accustomed to using their personal skills and a little coordination in the game to pose a threat to the opponent's goal. If Fiorentina insists on competing with them in foot skills or If they fight against the iron barrel formation, they will definitely die miserably.

After all, the midfielder of the River Plate team is a combination of Ortega, Francescoli, Cruz and Salas. It can be said that it is more than enough to fight tough battles or play small skills.

Using a fast-paced offense exposed the fragile defensive system of the River Plate directly in front of Fiorentina's forwards. Berizzo and Ayala couldn't resist the joint attack of Batty and Ronaldo from the front. Only in this way can Fiorentina win this game The dawn of victory was found in the game.

Capello's tactical arrangement gave the Fiorentina players the upper hand at the beginning of the game.

Just 3 minutes into the game, Redondo sent a long pass 40 meters away near the center circle. Batistuta pushed the ball towards the center while running. From a position of about 20 meters, he kicked up a volley and shot the goal. The ball touched the crossbar and flew out of the baseline. The entire offensive process took less than half a minute.

It's not that Dias couldn't see Capello's arrangement, but he couldn't let his team control the midfield situation. [

Although there is a midfield master like Franciscoli on the field, the three midfielders sent by Capello played a huge role at this moment. The defense of Redondo, Di Biagio and Davis The range can completely cover the entire midfield, which is enough for River Plate players to be careful when attacking.

What's more, the Dutch boar once again played the role of adhesive plaster today, closely following the 35-year-old Uruguayan prince, obviously intending to let the River Plate team play at its own pace, and can only follow the pace of Florence.

Therefore, under the fast-paced play of players on both sides, Fiorentina, who had been prepared for a long time, scored the first goal!

In the 204th minute of the first half, Redondo made a straight pass in the middle. Effenberg did not stop the ball after receiving the ball, but decisively chose to split the ball at the front of the penalty area. Ronaldo immediately lobbed the ball after successfully getting the ball in an air cut cross!

Batistuta in the penalty area made a header while running, but after attracting the attention of Ayala and Berizzo, God of War suddenly lowered his head and let the ball pass over his head flew over!

Seeing this scene, Ayala and Berizzo were terrified in their hearts!Because they knew that they were deceived by Batty's actions!

And at this moment, Roberto Carlos, who made an assist from the left at high speed, received the ball specially handed over by Batty in the penalty area, kicked the ball about ten meters away from the goal and slammed the goal vigorously!

The ball whizzed past Boggs, the River Plate goalkeeper only had time to wave his arm, and then he heard the sound of the ball rubbing against the net!

Fiorentina lead [-]-[-]!A solid step towards the first Toyota Cup championship in club history!
