Now it’s finally our turn to fight back! Is speeding up to the ball pierrot glanced at his front big heart thought.
At this moment, all the fans’ eyes of Amsterdam Athletic Stadium are projected on these players who are chasing after each other.
Pierrot was the first to get the ball at the front, and the zebra king went straight to Florence without any pause, because pierrot knew that his absolute speed was not fast, and if he didn’t speed up when he grasped it, he would easily be entangled in Starr behind him. Zida finally created this counterattack opportunity, but it would be destroyed in his own hands.
Otero sprints forward on the other side of the court, but his horizontal position is a little behind that of pierrot. Zebra Wang has a necessary ball route, and pierrot also shares some pressure from Fiorentina players.
Usta and Lala have their own division of labor. The former is chasing after pierrot, and he is obviously faster than the zebra king. The distance between pierrot is shortening, so it is hopeful to stop him before the other team breaks into the penalty area. The latter ran to keep an eye on otero to prevent pierrot from suddenly splitting the ball and let the Uruguayan striker get a single shot.
Although it sounds tedious, it’s only ten seconds since Zida’s goal when Starr chased pierrot at the front of the penalty area.
With the speed difference between them, Starr finally blocked the zebra king two or three meters away from the restricted area before pierrot entered the restricted area in Florence!
Knowing Starr’s ability, Errol naturally won’t be stupid enough to single out this opponent with excellent defensive ability. After making a false move to the left, pierrot shakes his left ankle and crosses the ball to otero from the other side!
Otero lifted his foot and stopped pierrot to catch the ball, but it was such a stop that he followed him all the time, and Lala had already surpassed him. Then he stopped in front of him and blocked the Uruguayan shot.
Otero saw that there was no chance for him to lift his foot and immediately return the ball to pierrot. Starr saw that the horse jumped at the zebra king, trying to grab the ball before pierrot caught it, but he didn’t want it to hit his calf and bounce back!
Otero couldn’t help being a little stunned when he saw this situation, but when he saw the ball flying back to his side, he didn’t think much about running in the direction of the ball immediately.
And because it was blocked by otero, the reaction was a little slow, so this time Lala was a little slow, and he was blocked by otero!
Facing the rebound ball, otero swung his left foot and volleyed directly near the penalty spot!
Otero volleyed the ball with unexpectedly high quality and drew a graceful arc in the middle, bypassing toldo’s fingers!
Toldo jumped sideways to save the ball, but he couldn’t touch it. He could watch the ball fly past his palm, graze the far post and fly into the goal guarded by him!
One-to-one Juventus equalised with a quick counterattack!
When referee Cragg declared the goal valid, the Juventus fans in the stands of Amsterdam Athletic Stadium thundered!
Lippi excitedly hugged and celebrated the goal with people around him on the sidelines, which proved that the tactics he formulated in this game were effective, and it also made Silver Fox feel relieved. After all, in this case, Juventus players can naturally implement his game strategy more firmly.
Without the double pressure of being besieged by opponents for a long time and falling behind the score, I am afraid it will be a big question mark whether these players can continue to arrange Lippi’s tactics.
Anyone who knows something about football knows that a head coach can’t win the game by controlling the team.
Sollippi is so excited now because otero’s goal was so untimely that it not only dealt a severe blow to Florence, but also made his players’ restlessness disappear!
Capello and Florence fans, who witnessed the whole process, looked depressed at this time. After all, when otero shot, the lesbian actually interfered with his movement, but I didn’t expect the Uruguayan to pull out a beautiful curveball and break his own door!
Juventus players’ celebration didn’t last long. After all, it’s only been less than half an hour now, and they still have a long way to go to win the championship at the end of the game.
And here in Florence …
"Cheer up for the old don’t be depressed there … especially you! That’s what a lucky ball has to be upset about! " Effenberg was full of anger and roared that he knew he needed to come out to boost morale at this moment. "It is better to find a way to avoid the counterattack just now!" (Note: Because vieri and Starr are both named by Christian, effenberg directly calls Starr here instead of his name).
"Good captain!" Hearing effenberg reprimand Starr, she quickly recovered from her depression and threw herself back into the game!
Just as the players were on the scene to adjust themselves, Capello’s latest instructions reached the ears of other players through Carlos’ mouth
"Hey guys come here! I have the latest instructions from the boss here! " Carlos came running up and said, "The boss said it was just an accident and he wouldn’t blame anyone for it."
Starr and Lala breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Carlos’ words. What they are most afraid of now is that Capello will give them a "hair dryer" at halftime, which is really uncomfortable.
Carlos was even more excited when he saw his teammates looking to his side. "The boss said let’s not worry too much about the other team’s counterattack and continue to implement the previous tactics to make them white …"
Although far apart, Capello and Carlos on the sidelines said the same thing at this time.
"Although their tortoise shells are hard, we have enough firepower to smash their hard shells into slag!"
Chapter 626 Leading again
I have to say that Capello’s last sentence really inspired the fighting spirit of Florence players, so after the game resumed, Florence played a crazy attack that stunned everyone!
Striker vieri and Ronaldo kept running in and out of the restricted area of Juventus, which made Blanc and others angry. However, because their personal abilities were not ignored, they had to fight with them on the spot.
The midfield is still the most hotly contested area between the two teams. The confrontation between effenberg, Lei Dongduo, Davies and Dibiagio and Deschamps, Di livio and Zida can be said to be full of sparks. The fans are full of blood and waves in the stands to help the team they support.
On the wing, Roberto Carlos and Zambrotta, two full-backs, kept running like hell on the two wings of the court, sometimes after forced breakthrough, sometimes after cutting, they directly hit the ball and shot it directly, threatening Juventus’ defense, and various offensive means kept their opponents tired.
So just five minutes after the re-ball, Florence finished the three-legged shot!
It was hard to stop this wave of offensive in Florence. Juventus players just wanted to fight back, but they didn’t expect that Zida had been doing very well since the game. At this time, Zida was robbed by the Dutchman with pigtails!
Davies gave the ball to effenberg immediately after he broke Zida’s goal, and the latter went straight through Juventus midfield defenders Ronaldo and vieri at the same time and rushed into the penalty area, but Montero scooped the ball out of the penalty area first! Follow-up behind the two men. Lei Dongduo’s horse hit the ball with a kick, but it was a good death. It was defended to the goal line. Blank headed the ball to clear it!
Florence didn’t succeed in this attack, but it also scared Juventus into a cold sweat.
If Blanc hadn’t appeared at the goal line, I’m afraid his goal would have been captured by Florence again.
The counterattack failed, and Florence almost hit a sap. This situation made Juventus players stay in the square half for a long time. The offensive base was a big foot to put the ball in the frontcourt and let pierrot and otero go to the roots and dare not try a large-scale counterattack
Although Florence has been beaten in the half-court, although Juventus’ goal has been in a state of turmoil, the score has not changed during this period.
"Juventus’ defense is really not boasting. Lippi is really capable," Capello thought with his hands on his chest. "However, this kind of intensity defense is very physically and mentally exhausting. How long can your players last?"
In the face of Juventus’ tight defense, Fiorentina players still created many chances to score goals. But tonight, peruzzi, Blanc, Montero and others all performed very well in the game. They built a great wall of steel in front of the goal to block all kinds of shots from Fiorentina!
In the end, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the half-time, Florence still failed to rewrite the score and had to enter the halftime stage with a score of one to one!
"The half is over! Now the score is one to one, and the two teams are tied! Personally, this score can’t show the real strength of both sides. Florence created more chances to break the goal in the half game, but she was obsessed with defending Juventus and got two good chances to score. But now the score is one to one … It can be said that Florence is so unlucky that at least three of their shots were cleared by Juventus defenders at the goal line, so the situation will be very different now. "
"Although Juventus’ tactical play is very conservative, it is quite wonderful to attack the whole half-game in Florence." Roberto Baggio also commented on the game at this time. "Now it seems that the two sides will strengthen their control of the midfield in the half-game. After all, the midfielder is blessed."
As Baggio expected, the fight between the two sides in the midfield became more intense after half-time, forcing referee Cragg to blow his whistle again and again to interrupt the game-because the players on both sides were getting more and more active in the fight.
Although the game was very intense, it was much less exciting than half-time, mainly because now both players are focusing on the midfield competition and facing offensive support, which is naturally much less.
Lippi is in no hurry about the present situation because he came to drag the game to the penalty shoot-out and then decide the winner; Capello is not in a hurry because he has great confidence in the players’ ability to create and seize opportunities.
Relying on the advantage of one more midfielder, after nearly ten minutes of stalemate, Florence gradually occupied the advantage of the field. Carlos and Zambrotta continued to intervene in the attack like half-time, oppressing the Juventus defense line and moving backwards.
In the face of Florence’s oppressive attack style, Juventus players can gradually retreat five defenders and three midfielders to block up the restricted area, leaving pierrot and otero in the frontcourt to cause some harassment.
