The Era of Emerald

Paulo Sousa was off the pitch, carried off on a stretcher by Dortmund's team doctors.

Lying on a stretcher, Paulo Sousa covered his face tightly with his hands, tears kept flowing from between his fingers. He had a feeling that this final would be the closest he was to the Champions League trophy in his career.

"Don't worry, stabilize first, and then launch an attack after securing the line of defense!"

After Paulo Sousa was carried off the field on a stretcher, the players of both sides returned to the field and prepared to kick off again. Hitzfeld, who returned to the sideline from the player channel, made a gesture to the Dortmund players. In the game, he lost his general and lost his mind.

After all, this is the final of the Champions League. Any head coach will consider and prepare for any unexpected situation in the game, so Paul Sosa was injured and forced to leave early. Heathfield It was just a little surprising at the beginning, but he would not surrender to Florence just because of this.

It's just that Fiorentina's full-court oppressive defensive play really caught Heathfield by surprise.After all, during the period before the start of the game, everyone including Heathfield believed that Fiorentina led by Capello would definitely play a defensive counterattack in this final.

Therefore, Heathfield, who has recognized this, will use the tactics of positional attack in this final, and change the team formation into a three-five-two, intending to create a breakthrough through the two sides, and finally followed by the center. Jin Chapuisat and others resolved the battle.

If he had known that Capello would dare to use the full-court "press" mark in the Champions League final, Heathfield would not let the players take the initiative to attack!

Since Hitzfeld has coached Dortmund for so many years, his prestige among the players is quite high. With his coaching ability and quite flexible wrist, even the famous Sammer and Andres Muller are right. He was convinced and willing to obey his tactical arrangements. [

So after Hitzfeld made a "steady" gesture to the players, the Dortmund players with strong tactical execution quickly stabilized their positions and began to play the game according to the tactics arranged by the head coach, not in a hurry to attack , continue to fall in the backcourt, looking for a chance to kill with one blow.

However, how could the Fiorentina players who have already tasted the sweetness from the full-court press give up this seemingly restrained tactic against Dortmund?Especially when Dortmund's midfield metronome Paul Sosa has been injured and left the field, and the opponent's control over the game has been greatly reduced, if Fiorentina continues to adopt oppressive defensive tactics, the effect is quite worth looking forward to.

Although Zorc, who replaced Paulo Sousa, was quite brave and tenacious in the fight, and he was also very active in counter-stealing on the spot after losing the ball, but he still cannot replace the role of the Portuguese in the team, and he is already 35 years old. His reaction and agility have begun to become sluggish. The Fiorentina players only need to quickly transfer the ball away after stealing the ball to make Zorc's on-the-spot counter-robbing become hard work.

On the Fiorentina side, the organized and planned frontcourt siege turned Dortmund's backcourt into a pot of porridge, forcing the opponent to spend a lot of energy on competing for the ball with Fiorentina, thus greatly reducing Fiorentina's own goal. Players threatened by the possible.

Dortmund's players were not stupid either. After fighting for a few rounds with the Fiorentina, they discovered the Italian's attempt.It stands to reason that a long pass should be used at this time, but after Paul Sosa left the field, they really couldn't find a point in the backcourt where they could launch a long pass to counterattack...Zorc and Lambert both tried Well, it turned out that their pass was not because the forward was too strong to catch it, or it was a little weaker and was intercepted first by Nesta and others on the defense line.

"Long pass is a technical job, not a player who can use big feet." After once again destroying the ball in front of Riddell and pushing it to Redondo in front, Nesta Whispered, in his opinion, the Dortmund people are just blindly kicking their feet indiscriminately. They will not threaten Florence at all, and will waste precious game time.

Sammer can accomplish this task very well, but like Paul Sosa who has been off the field, he is greatly restricted in physical fitness, so there are not many opportunities for long passes.Even if there is, Batistuta and the others will rush to interfere in the first time, reducing the possibility of Sammer's long pass being successful.

The players from both sides have been entangled for more than ten minutes. Although they failed to score a goal, the fierce confrontation between the players and the many shots still made many Fiorentina and neutral fans very happy. .

As for the fans of Dortmund, they always watched the final with trepidation, for fear that the team would accidentally be scored by Fiorentina again. After all, the difference between one goal behind and two goals behind is quite obvious.

When the game progressed to No. 403 minutes, Dortmund finally ushered in their best chance in the first half.Sammer finally completed a very high-quality long pass. The ball landed right in the area between Ferrara and Toldo. Riddell, who successfully reversed offside, received this long pass before the Fiorentina players came up to defend. !

"Riddle! One-handed!" Rao's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and his voice became a little out of tune due to nervousness, "Florence is in danger!"

After dribbling into the penalty area, Riddle observed Toldo's position. The 32-year-old knew that he was not as fast as the young and strong Nesta behind him.Therefore, when the Dortmund striker swung his right foot directly while running, it was a slap!

The ball floated up and went straight to the far corner of the goal!

However, Toldo will not allow the ball to roll into the goal he is responsible for guarding so easily.The No. [-] goalkeeper of the Italian national team saved Fiorentina once again, and he threw the ball with a single palm!

Riddle was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the opponent's goalkeeper to be so brave that he could even block this kind of ball. [

Taking advantage of the moment when Riddle was stunned, Nesta, who had already rushed to his position, immediately took the lead to clear the siege with his big foot. The ball flew directly to the frontcourt. Batistuta jumped up and tapped the ball down first, and followed up from behind. Effenberg received the ball straight into the middle, and Ronaldo accelerated forward when he saw this!

Florence's single-handedly!

Just when the Fiorentina fans were about to cheer, the referee's whistle sounded untimely, and the linesman also raised the flag in his hand.

Ronaldo!Offside!

The Fiorentina fans in the stands sighed. They didn't complain too much, because the big screen just clearly showed that at the moment Effenberg passed the ball, Dortmund led by Sammer The defense line took a step forward together!

It was this step that threw Ronaldo into an offside position!

Shortly after Ronaldo was ruled offside, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half!

The first half is over!Fiorentina lead Dortmund [-]-[-] at the Olympiastadion in Munich!
