The Era of Emerald

After the score was unexpectedly equalized by Milan, Capello decisively replaced Massaro, who had been inactive throughout the game, and replaced him with a young and strong left back Francisco Coco, moving Maldini's position to the center Partner with Baresi to strengthen the team's defense; leaving only Simeone on the front line ready to counterattack at any time.

"Capello intends to use the defensive counterattack tactics to the extreme!" Although Zhuang Mingge in the box was very dissatisfied with Capello's style of "letting go as soon as it is good", he had nothing to criticize. After all, the opponent's team has one less player on the field, and the competitive state is not very ideal.In this case, any coach will choose to shrink the defense and play a defensive counterattack. Is it necessary to let Milan and Fiorentina fight each other on the field to be called a trend in football?That's not conforming to the trend, that's getting your head kicked by a donkey.

The Milan players who saw a glimmer of hope invested more troops in defense and piled up more people in their own half, which also meant that Fiorentina's offensive space was further compressed by the Milanese.Under Ranieri's training, Fiorentina, who focused on ground coordination, had no choice but to face the "tortoise shell" created by the Milanese, and was forced to play simple and rough long passes and crosses from the side in the second half. The starting point of the attack , also moved from Effenberg to Ferrara and Di Biagio, who are farther back...

At this time, the Milanese also completely gave up the fight for the ball. Except for Simeone, the remaining nine players blocked the area 30 meters from the goal.

Lanna, Bilindelli, Djorkaeff and others are desperately attacking from the relatively weak defense of Milan. Batistuta and Inzaghi are doing their best to fight for a ball, but Every time they either missed the goal slightly, or their crosses were destroyed by Baresi, Maldini and others...

The central defender Ferrara, who is near the middle circle of the backcourt, can't remember how many times he took the ball from the backcourt, handed it to his wide players, and then they hoisted it into the densely packed AC Milan's restricted area.But in the end, almost without exception, they were successfully rescued by Baresi, Desailly and others...

In the No.80 minute of the game, Ranieri made the first substitution adjustment. He replaced the midfielder Di Biagio with Vieri. Fiorentina's formation became four, three, three, two High center Batty and Vieri stood firmly in Milan's penalty area and competed for the pass!

Baresi's height and age determine that his air defense ability is not very good. Even with the help of Maldini, he can only deal with a high center forward. This change by Ranieri also instantly doubled the pressure on Milan's defense. .

Lanner once again dribbled the ball in, and while passing the ball to Effenberg in the middle, he quickly went straight forward along the left lane; Effenberg, who received the ball, took advantage of the trend and passed Albertini's After defending, he sent the ball in the direction of Lanner's advance, and Lanner, who quickly jumped in, comfortably caught the ball. He just passed Panucci while the opponent was not paying attention, and there was an open field in front of him. zone!

"Two to one against the wall!" The commentator screamed loudly from Zhuang Mingge's earphones, "What a perfect wing cooperation! The tacit cooperation between Effenberg and Lanner has disturbed Milan's wing defense. It was a flurry.

Lanner, who then added an assist, decisively inserted into the middle, while Effenberg, who had just passed the ball, was using off-the-ball running to attract the attention of other Milan players for the former.At this time, Lanner had already identified the opportunity, decisively at a 45-degree angle on the left, and passed the ball calmly!

Lanner's cross made a beautiful arc.

And the Milan goalkeeper Rossi who is not fast.Looking at the ball coming diagonally from the edge of the penalty area, after a tenth of a second of hesitation, he chose to stand on the goal line and wait... He missed the best time to attack.

"Christian Vieri!"

The huge body of the young Italian center, like an iron tower, stood upright in Milan's penalty area.

Vieri put his body on Franco Baresi who was marking him in front of him.When the ball arrived this time, he finally seized an excellent attacking position.

Bierhoff, who is 1.8 meters tall, is in front of the excellent opportunity created by his teammates.Already made preparations to jump high and head the ball.

Ten meters!

Eight meters!Six meters!

This is the time!Vieri calmly threw his entire body up.However, while he was jumping, he strongly felt a strong pressure from the side and back of his body.

boom!

Vieri, who was trying to adjust the posture of the header, failed to hear the crisp sound when his forehead was in close contact with the ball.Vieri, who fell to the ground after completing the shot, slapped the turf several times heavily.He has excellent header skills, but this time he failed to hit his position. His header hit the goal, crossed the crossbar, and rushed directly into the sky...

"Damn! This should be a penalty kick! Should the referee turn a blind eye?!"

The roar of the commentator on the TV represented the aspirations of many people on the scene and in front of the TV, but the foul action of the Italian defender who made a "little move" behind Vieri was really exquisite, because it seemed It's more like the result of rational use of body inertia.

This cannot be blamed on the referee Collina of this game. Although in Serie A, Italian defenders with excellent personal defensive skills often play such tricks, Collina himself knows it very well, but He felt that if the striker who played in Serie A couldn't even deal with this, then he'd better just go home and pick up the child... What's more, he had already issued a red card to Milan. After the end, maybe what will happen again.

Vieri, who fell on the line of the Milan penalty area, after doing a little self-venting.About to stand up again, at this moment, in front of him, a friendly arm stretched out towards him.

it's him!It's this Milan defender who just "black handed" me from behind!

Vieri looked up, and a familiar smiling face appeared in front of his eyes - it turned out to be Milan's old captain, Franco Baresi, this old guy's defensive skills are really proficient!

Vieri stretched out his arms calmly, and with the "help" of Baresi, he stood up again.

San Siro burst into applause, and the applause was dedicated to their captain Baresi. This time, it was his experience that allowed Minlan to save the day again.

……

The game entered the stoppage time period. Ferrara, standing in the center circle, once again saw the return pass from his teammate Kripa who was holding the ball with his back in front.He took a deep breath, adjusted his pace, and when the ball approached him, he once again sent a beautiful pass to Lanner on the left...

Lanna, who once again dribbled the ball straight to the baseline, has begun to calmly look for the tall figure standing in Milan's penalty area.

Pass from bottom to bottom!

Vieri outflanked in place again!In front of him, Baresi stuck up like a candy again!

turn around!turn around!Turn around!Is this center forward who looks like a big horse monkey going to attack the goal with the back of his head? !

Facing Baresi's defense again, Vieri is like a traditional center on the basketball court, with his back to Baresi, using his strong body to squeeze the thin Baresi tightly. behind.

Facing Lanna sent a left-footed inside curve ball, the Italian center's excellent header skills were well demonstrated at this moment.

Facing the ball flying from his right, Vieri tried his best to lean his body forward, gently rubbed the ball with his forehead, and the ball flew over Maldini's head just right, and stood beside Maldini The jumping player is...

"Batistuta! Is he going to head the goal?!" The commentator shouted excitedly.

"No! No! It's not a goal! It's a pass! The ball was pushed to the right of the small penalty area by Batty, and Rossi has lost his position!"

The ball landed on the right side of the Milan small penalty area, and there were no Milan players in that position at this time!but!There lurks a Florence "killer" - Philip Inzaghi!

Due to the fact that Milan's defense was too dense in this game, Inza did not find any great opportunities in this game.

However, for such an excellent opportunity, one time is enough for a real "killer"!

Facing the ball that bounced slightly after landing, Inzaghi stared with his left foot, aimed his right foot at the empty space in the lower right corner of the Milan goal, and pushed the ball directly.

Inzaghi's shot was unsightly and the speed of the ball was not fast, but Milan goalkeeper Rossi had nothing to do with the ball going straight to his own goal.

There was a "swish" sound when the ball hit the net, and the stunned old Rossi didn't even make any saves before the goal was broken.

On the sidelines, Capello closed his eyes helplessly. For this game, he has exhausted all his wisdom...

"The goal is in, the game is over, Fiorentina won the final victory! Great Philip Inzaghi! He completed the final lore of the game! The Viola conquered the San Siro stadium!"

Zhuang Mingge took off his earphones, and what the commentator said when he praised Florence's outstanding performance echoed in his ears...
