The Era of Emerald

"Two to two...Two to two! Juventus took advantage of a set-piece in the frontcourt and once again tied the score! Pierrot's goal can be said to be priceless! The Zebra Prince finally showed at this moment His value, he successfully brought Juventus back from the death line with a goal!" The commentator worked hard to explain the game in the live broadcast room, "Pierrot's sense of smell in front of the goal is indeed very keen However, Di Livio, who kicked that unexpected long-range shot, was the biggest contributor to Juventus' equalizer. If it weren't for his heavy bombardment that caused Toldo to throw the ball away, Piero would not have gotten so Good chance to score."

The fact that they were equalized twice after leading twice made all Fiorentina players feel disheartened - a situation that hasn't happened in a long time since Fiorentina returned to Serie A.

Even when they were inextricably tied to Real Madrid in the second round, Fiorentina has always maintained the lead in the score.Therefore, facing the familiar old opponent Juventus, the players of Fiorentina have always believed that as long as they are serious enough in the game, this should be a game that is sure to win and not lose.

However, the reality is quite different from what they expected. Juventus' resilience in the game made Fiorentina, who has always been dominant, have to be on the same starting line with the Bianconeri again.

And this naturally greatly hurt the self-esteem of the Fiorentina players - we are the team that has won four consecutive Serie A titles and two consecutive Champions League titles. If we can't even win Juventus, what face do we have to claim to be the first in Europe? A wealthy family?

So, after the restart, Fiorentina pushed Juventus back into their half with a massive attack that forced Piero and Otero to fall back too. Participate in the defense in the own half, unable to run to the front to harass Fiorentina's defense.

However, shortly after the re-kick-off, the Fiorentina fans in the stands of the Amsterdam Arena loudly booed!

It was not because Juventus scored another goal that Fiorentina fans were able to make it, but because a Fiorentina player was brought down on the court by a Juventus player!

It turned out that in Florence's attack just now, after Effenberg attracted the attention of Montero and Di Livio on the left side of the frontcourt, he suddenly distributed the ball to the unguarded other side!

Di Biagio, who was inserted in the back row, was about to bend his bow and set an arrow, and when he completed the attack with a heavy cannon, Deschamps' flying shovel also arrived as expected.

However, because Di Biagio pushed the ball forward in order to avoid the French iron-backed tackle, Deschamps did not shovel the ball as he expected, but kicked hard on the ground. on Di Biagio's supporting leg!

After being hit hard by this, Di Biagio was unambiguous, and immediately fell to the court with a scream!

The Fiorentina team doctors rushed to the field with a first-aid kit. After treating Di Biagio and making a preliminary diagnosis, Nelson shook his head at Capello, indicating that the Italian could no longer continue. It's game.

"Damn it!" Capello saw Nelson's gesture, and immediately sweared, and shouted at the players on the bench, "You guys! Hurry up and warm up! Hurry up!"

According to the information obtained from Nelson, Capello can naturally see that Di Biagio may not be able to continue the game, so Capello hurriedly kicked out all the players on the bench for warm-up exercises, preparing to Circumstances adapt.

At this time, the referee Cragg also rushed to the scene of the incident, and looked at the troubled Deschamps with a rather unkind look.

Seeing the referee running towards this side, Deschamps quickly spread his hands to show his innocence. He didn't want to get a yellow card at this juncture, which would make him tied up in the following games.

However, Cragg obviously won't accept Deschamps' set. After a brief condolence to Di Biagio, the referee from Germany showed Deschamps a yellow card!

For Cragg's penalty, Lippi and Capello on the sidelines seemed very dissatisfied.The former thinks Didier Deschamps' tackle was not a foul, and Di Biagio's injury was just an accident. This yellow card is entirely the referee's intention to take care of the Fiorentina players' emotions; while Capello's opinion is just the opposite. , he thought Didier Deschamps' foul on Di Biagio was enough to get him sent off with a red card.

In the face of Capello and Lippi's complaints, the fourth official played the role of a listener very well at this time, smiling and persuading the two coaches to return to their respective seats.

Cragg, who came later, warned Lippi's statement, because from the slow-motion playback on the big screen of the stadium just now, he clearly saw Didier Deschamps' studs directly hit Di Biagio's. Ankle - Di Biagio's injury would never be what it is now if it weren't for the shin pads to help,

From this point of view, Cragg feels that it is not an exaggeration to give Deschamps a red card!

To put it another way, if this match hadn't been the much-anticipated Champions Cup final, maybe Kragg would have really done it...

Lippi just shrugged his shoulders. Of course he knew that Didier Deschamps' kick that hurt Di Biagio was undoubtedly a foul. The reason why he went to the fourth official to complain was more to do a gesture.

Looking at Fiorentina again, Fiorentina's bench is also extremely busy at this time.Taking advantage of this time of dead ball, Capello is writing and drawing on the tactical board, giving final instructions to Inzaghi who is about to play.

"Philip, do you remember what I said? After playing for a while, remember to relay what I just said to other people on the field." After getting a positive answer from Inzaghi, Capello continued, "As for you My mission is very simple, to score goals! Keep scoring goals!"

"Haha, I like this task, boss!" Inzaghi replied with a smile, and walked onto the field under the guidance of the fourth official, replacing Di Biagio who left the field due to injury. People who live for scoring goals! Just watch from the sidelines with peace of mind!"

"Replacing a defensive midfielder with a striker, Capello seems to be desperate..." Roberto Baggio was obviously puzzled by Capello's substitution, because in his In my impression, Capello is not the kind of impulsive person, "Although it is indeed a morale thing to be equalized by the opponent in the situation of leading twice, but now I think it is still too early. .”

Just like that, with Philip Inzaghi coming off the bench and the referee blowing his whistle, the game restarted!
