Legendary Godfather

Not long after the game started, Crystal Palace actually took the lead, and the media reporters at the scene were shocked.

This is different from what they expected.

Montella was also slightly startled, and turned to look at Tong Yi, a little surprised.

Is it possible that the Crystal Palace will have a fight with Florence this time? Just give up on the FA Cup semi-final two days later?

Tong Yi sat quietly on the bench, seemingly not surprised at all, and just applauded lightly.

What a great cup!

Montella curled his lips slightly, then immediately came to the sidelines and signaled the Florentines not to be so passive, be bolder, press out, and show off your offensive capabilities.

The game restarted, and Fiorentina obviously played more boldly and attacked.

Florence's offense is still focused on the two wings, especially Joaquin and Diamanti, who are Florence's backers in the frontcourt. Of course, the two full-backs also rely heavily on their offense.

Otherwise, why would Joaquin and Diamanti be positioned closer to the center?

Joaquin is older, and he doesn't rely on speed to earn a living.

Joaquin will also join the offensive organization, of course, he will still be on the side more often. Diamanti, on the other hand, relies more on the center, leaving the wings to the full-backs.

To be honest, Florence's lineup has changed a lot.

This is why Tong Yi reminded the Crystal Palace players to pay attention to the Fiorentina team. They are indeed very capable. This guy Montella is also a very thoughtful head coach, very powerful.

Of course, Florence's offense relies heavily on Gomez on the striker. If Gomez is targeted more often, Crystal Palace's defensive pressure will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, at this time, Laporte often pulled out to mark Gomez.

And Gomez did not underestimate Laporte. They had studied the Crystal Palace lineup and players. Gomez also knew that Laporte was a very good guy, so he did not go to do it with Laporte. Much entanglement. He retreated directly to meet Joaquin and Diamanti.

Even at this time, Gomez's retreating position was somewhat deep.

This gives the Crystal Palace players a feeling that they will think of Gomez as more of an attacking midfielder, while Joaquin and Diamanti are pushed up to the front.

This has a huge impact on Crystal Palace's defense.

This made Laporte and Ferdinand's defense a little uncomfortable, and Florence's offense gradually threatened Crystal Palace's defense.

With a bang, Fiorentina made a long pass directly from the backcourt, overcoming the high pressure of the Crystal Palace people.

The football flew quickly towards the frontcourt. Gomez easily took off and hit the football above Kimmich's head.

The football flew diagonally behind him quickly!

This goal really annoyed the Crystal Palace defense.

It was hot, Gomez's position was a bit deep, and they didn't dare to follow him rashly. But if they don't follow up, it will be difficult for Gomez to be guarded by anyone. What's more important is that Gomez is a picker of weaklings, often cruising next to Kimmich. If you ask Kimmich and Gomez to compete for a high ball, aren't you making things difficult for Kimmich?

But at this time, the Florentines seized this point and played.

Tong Yi stood on the sidelines, frowning slightly.

To be honest, this Montella is really very methodical, very good.

At this time, the football flew directly to Joaquin's feet. As soon as Joaquin caught the ball, Ferdinand was about to come forward. Joaquin suddenly used his speed to change direction, opened up the space, and then quickly broke through with the ball and entered the Crystal Palace penalty area.

With a bang, after taking two steps into the penalty area, Joaquin shot directly with his legs.

The football shot out quickly, the ball was very fast!

However, Edward reacted faster and immediately jumped out and saved the football from the bottom line.

Corner kick, Florence got a corner kick opportunity.

To be honest, Florence's offensive threat this time is very great. It can be seen that they seem to have found a way to disintegrate the Crystal Palace defense. They will definitely continue to play like this. If Tong Yi cannot solve this problem as soon as possible, the Crystal Palace goal will be very dangerous.

Corner kick, Fiorentina got a corner kick opportunity.

Diamanti came to the corner kick and then drove the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area with a precise arc. Gomez in the penalty area immediately jumped up, trying to pin down the opponent. Unexpectedly, the football was pushed out by Laporte first.

The football flew to Kimmich's feet. Kimmich seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and saw Joaquin rushing up behind him. He didn't hold the ball at all, but quickly pushed the ball directly to Paulinho on the other side.

Paulinho did not stop the ball and made a diagonal pass directly to Salah who was advancing from the wing.

Salah's speed was very fast, and he instantly blasted the opponent's midfielder Aquilani who was rushing up!

Because at this time, Aquilani stood in the full-back position, and the original full-back Richards went directly into the Crystal Palace penalty area to compete for the header. Aquilani took Richards' position. He had no advantage in speed and was blown away by Saleh in an instant.

Salah instantly ran towards Florence's penalty area with the ball.

Fiorentina's center back Rodriguez immediately moved over and intercepted Salah.

Salah took advantage of the trend and made a lateral cut inside to break through, and instantly passed Rodriguez. He saw that Neto's position was a little close to the corner, and Salah directly swung his leg and shot a corner arc, and the football spun rapidly.

Then he circled towards the upper corner of the far end of the goal.

The speed of the ball was so fast that the Florentines were speechless in horror.

Neto in front of the goal quickly dived out, but still didn't touch the football!

The football missed the outside of the far post and flew out of the baseline.

hiss!

The Florentines survived the disaster!

This goal really scared them to death. It was so dangerous that they almost scored.

Montella's heart jumped into his throat and almost jumped out of his chest.

So suspenseful. Montella reached out and touched his chest. He was really almost scared to death just now!

This Crystal Palace is indeed very powerful, and the next defense must be more secure. However, they will not give up their offense. If they give up their offense, wouldn't the game be completely over?

If one survives, there will be future fortunes!

Moreover, the Florentines have now found the weakness of the Crystal Palace people. In this game, Florence will definitely win. Therefore, even so, the Florentines are still confident and they are full of expectations for this game.

After passing the ball continuously, Florence also found a space to play the ball under the super high pressure of the Crystal Palace people. Aquilani, who was lagging behind, made a long diagonal pass and passed the football to Gomez in the frontcourt.

Gomez was next to Kimmich again, directly overpowering Kimmich and swung the ball to Diamanti.

Diamanti had just received the ball and found that no one was jumping towards him. He immediately shot from a position thirty-two meters away from the goal. Yes, Diamanti suddenly took a long shot, which exceeded everyone's expectations.

Only Tong Yi on the sidelines was very dissatisfied. He immediately rushed out and roared into the stadium, "Didn't I remind you? Be careful not to let this guy Diamanti take a long shot?"

Yes, Tong Yi reminded the Crystal Palace players many times before the game that Diamanti likes long shots very much, and he has a very beautiful long shot. More importantly, this guy often takes long shots from unexpected positions. The defensive players of Crystal Palace must not give Diamanti space. If they are not used to his position, they should not give him space.

However, when the game is going on now, the Crystal Palace players seem to have forgotten a little.

This is not to blame the Crystal Palace players, but Diamanti has been relatively quiet at this stage of the game, with almost no performance. This made the Crystal Palace players ignore this guy a little, and then gave Diamanti Opportunities like this.

Very dangerous!

Diamanti's long-range shot roared out and flew directly to the upper right corner of the goal.

The ball was very fast, and the football was about to hit the Crystal Palace goal. Edward immediately jumped out and covered the sky with his hands.

!

It's a pity that Edward didn't cover this time, and the football flew past his hand quickly, then slightly higher than the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

Phew, the Crystal Palace fans also breathed a sigh of relief. It was really dangerous just now!

It can also be seen from this that Fiorentina can reach the quarterfinals of the Europa League and their strength is not weak. Crystal Palace may not be able to defeat its opponents. Montella still has something to offer. The current problems of Crystal Palace are controlled by Montella's Fiorentina.

If this game continues like this, Crystal Palace will be in danger.

With a bang, Edward kicked the football away. The football flew quickly to the front court, and Torres stood tall, getting ahead of the opponent's short center back Rodriguez, jumping up and ferrying the football to Sane on the side.

Sane did not go down, but suddenly cut inside. Fiorentina's full-back Tomovic was not fooled. He did not leave the space on the wing to Crystal Palace's full-back Aurier.

But at this moment, Sane continued to cut inward and laterally, with no intention of passing it back to Aurier who was advancing forward. He held the ball and cut laterally inward, looking for an opportunity to take a long shot.

Danger, the Florentines were aware of the danger.

Valero quickly moved forward and blocked Sane's long-range shot.

Valero's reaction was very quick and he directly crossed Sane's shooting path. Unexpectedly, Sane still had no intention of kicking. He still dribbled the ball horizontally, directly passed Valero and continued to break through to the left side.

Valero and others were a little shocked. What on earth is this Sane going to do? Is he going to cut in directly from one wing to the other?

Aren't you funny?

However, Montella immediately roared loudly on the sidelines, reminding Florence's defensive players to pay attention to Sane's through ball. Unfortunately, it was too late at this time. This guy Sane just caught the moment when Florence's defensive players were a little relaxed, and suddenly reversed the ball and pushed the football directly into the center of Florence's penalty area.

Yes, he stuffed it into the middle of the penalty area, not the rib of the penalty area where Salah moved forward.

Sane made a reverse cross and passed the ball diagonally past Valero, rolling into the penalty area behind Valero's body.

At this time, Sane, who cut across to the ribs on the left side of the penalty area, directly inserted the football diagonally into the ribs on the right side of the penalty area!

Florence's defensive players turned around one after another, and they saw that Torres, who had stepped in from behind, had come to the football and volleyed with his legs. The football clung to the turf and rushed towards the near post of the goal. The ball was very fast. Goalkeeper Neto's lightning reaction still did not pounce on the football. The football rolled directly into the goal against the inside of the near post.

Two to zero.
