In later generations, some people compared the passing habits of Effenberg and Veron, who were also on the field at this time, and they were both commendable passing masters. www.biquge.info After receiving the ball, Veron's first reaction was to control the ball, then look up to watch the players in front of him run, and soon, a genius offensive line would be planned in his mind, and then realized through his passing. And Effenberg's passing habits, he never looks around on the court, but everything around him seems to be in his mind, and the moment he receives the ball, he will pass the ball to the most threatening position, but you have never looked in that direction before, just like the "NoLookingPass" in basketball, which is extremely confusing and deceptive.

So fans joked that Veron always had his head up when he passed, while Effenberg always had his head down when he passed. But with his head up or down, Effenberg's performance at this juncture was something to talk about.

Paul. Merson finally paid the price for his sleepwalking form in this game, as Tomasi's ferocious tackle from behind the flank cut the ball off his feet, and then Tomasi immediately passed the ball towards Leonardo, who was already running forward on the left.

Hutson immediately rushed up, but Leonardo did not slow down at all after receiving the ball during the run, and directly used Hartson as a pillar, directly knocking his back heel around the person without pause, and even the movement of a man in the middle did not slow him down at all. But Leonardo didn't take it all the way to the end. Dixon passed the ball to Effenberg in the middle before coming up to make up the defense.

Effenberg understood and struggled to get rid of Steve Brown on a couple of switchbacks before that. Moreau's entanglement, and the moment he received the ball, he took a big step and rushed straight towards Vieri. That is, in the next instant, if Tony. Adams stepped up to defend him, and he could make Vieri a solo with a penetrating ball, and if Adams didn't step up to defend him, he could calmly get up and hit the goal at the edge of the box, and with Effenberg's foot, no one could guarantee that he would be able to save the ball from this position.

For this dilemma, Adams did not hesitate at all, he chose to grab decisively at the first time, he did not let Vieri care, but was confident that he could block all the lines that Effenberg passed to Vieri.

In fact, from the viewer's point of view, it can be seen that Tony. Adams did cut off Effenberg's pass to Vieri perfectly, and even one of his long legs blocked Effenberg's shot. And Adams had a last-ditch move as he veiled the back forward with a stealthy gesture to put Vieri in an offside position and fell into their offside trap as soon as Effenberg passed the ball to Vieri.

However, Effenberg, who is in the prime of his career, is indeed a rare passing master in football, from the beginning, he did not think of passing to Vieri, he is looking for the figure who has been pacing silently before, but now like a sharp arrow through the Arsenal defence.

Inzaghi, who is always on the offside line, seems to have a natural sense of offside traps, and he has always maintained a position parallel to the Arsenal back line, and finally succeeded in countering offside at this moment.

With a delicate flick from Effenberg, the ball slid through a beautiful arc and landed behind the Arsenal defence at the far end. Inzaghi gently unloaded the ball and took advantage of the situation to face goalkeeper Seaman and form a one-on-one knife. However, Seaman's excellent positioning almost blocked the line of the shot in the near corner, and Inzaghi could only dribble towards the line and widen the angle of his shot. However, at this moment, a strong figure stood in the direction of his dribbling, and it was Martin, who had not relaxed for a moment. Keown. In fact, at the moment when Inzaghi started, Martin. Keown chased back to be able to arrive so just in time.

Arsenal's backline, physical, technical, and experience, is truly uncovered, and it deserves to be one of the greatest backlines in England's history.

Keown and Seaman formed a flank and completely blocked all of Inzaghi's shots, much to the comfort of the Arsenal fans in the stands.

However, the whistle blew, and the referee trotted all the way to the 12-yard penalty spot, which completely shattered the hearts of Arsenal fans, and the audience resounded with a shocking "boo".

And Keown, who was stunned, stood in place with a look of disbelief, looked at Inzaghi who fell to the ground, raised his hands and said loudly: "I didn't touch him, he fell down himself." ”

It wasn't until many years later that Martin, who had become a head coach. Keown is still haunted by today's penalty, and he even swore after that game with his newborn daughter that he had not touched Inzaghi at all.

What he didn't know was that at this time in the Serie B League, no one dared to make too much physical contact with Inzaghi in the penalty area at will. With the posture and strength of Inzaghi's own fall, even if the referee repeatedly studied the tape after the match, he could not tell that it was a fake fall.

Because Inzaghi was "injured" so badly that he was even carried to the sidelines for inspection, Effenberg finally stood in front of the penalty spot.

The blonde-haired Effenberg had a grim face, but not a nervous feeling. Retreating, running, shooting, the ball flew into the net in one fell swoop, to the sigh of He-Man, who still wanted to struggle.

After the goal, the "tiger" no longer felt cold, he looked up to the sky and roared, beating his chest with his hand, as if to vent the depression of the whole game. All the Prato players were excitedly celebrating around him, and this was when they really came together, like a whole team.

A few minutes into the game, the referee blew the final whistle. The whole stadium was booed, for the result of the game, Arsenal fans were naturally dissatisfied, in addition to the "boo" Prato players who faked falls, even Arsenal manager Graham also suffered from the fans' "boo", it was his conservative tactics that allowed Arsenal to be drawn at home by a little-known small team like Prato.

The away 1:1 draw with the powerful Arsenal also made everyone fall through the glasses, including the Italian media that is equivalent to a slap in the face, Effenberg, who passed and shot, was named the best on the spot, and also became the object of praise from the Italian media, and the classic photo of Effenberg clenching his fist and roaring after the goal was reprinted by many newspapers. Milan Sport praised Effenberg as one of the biggest stars left out of last year's Century Cup, and if Effenberg had been there, Germany might not have been eliminated by Bulgaria in the quarter-finals. Roma Sport carefully listed Effenberg's statistics in the game, showing that he was completely dominant at both ends of the pitch and even said that his one-shot ability was the strongest of all players in the world. As for the "Corriere della Sera", it criticized Fiorentina for being blind and letting go of such a star who is good at both offense and defense, and the transfer price is only 6 billion lira (about 3 million pounds), and now Effenberg's value may have more than doubled.
