Part 5 Chapter 8 Invincible and Invincible (II)

Because they were wantonly insulted by Sabato before the game, the Juventus players in this game were all holding back their energy to get the field back in the game, and they seemed to be very active from the beginning of the game, and even the defenders frequently pressed up to attack.

Looking at the Fiorentina players who were not dominant on the field, many people were thinking that perhaps Sabato must now regret in his heart that he had provoked Juventus.

Just six minutes into the game, Juventus took the lead.

Fiorentina's central defender Svensson was obviously frightened by Juventus' desperate attack, and when he got the ball in the backfield, he made a mistake in his rush and passed the football directly to Juventus midfielder Kopa, who stepped forward to press!

The mistake was fatal, as Copa broke the ball past a panicked Svensson before bursting into the box and slotting the ball into the bottom left corner against a scrambled Frei!

1:0!

"Juventus are ahead! They have a fantastic start!! ”

Tens of thousands of Juventus fans in Alpi cheered in unison as they commentated. Sabato's pre-match remarks angered not only the Juventus players, but also their fans. They had no way to go to the pitch and slap Sabato in person, so they could only laugh at Sabato's ignorance with their own cheers and boos.

The TV camera showed Sabato, who was one goal behind, but he did not change his mood at all, sitting comfortably in the coach's box, not even standing up. It all seemed to have been calculated by him for a long time.

Li Yan looked at Sabato, who was sitting firmly on Mount Tai, and he remembered that in the game against Lecce two weeks ago, the opponent also scored a goal at the beginning, and Sabato still didn't say anything at that time.

And then......

※※※

The cheers of the Juventus fans weren't over yet, as a counterattack from Fiorentina left them collectively silent. In the eighth minute of the game, only two minutes before Juventus' goal, Pacini dribbled the ball on the side, saw that the Juventus back line was still returning to the defense, did not organize an effective defense in time, although he was still a little far from the penalty area - because he was dribbling along the sideline - but directly crossed with his feet!

Zhang Jun rushed in front of the penalty area when he made a sharp stop, then turned around and stretched out his foot to stop the football firmly at his feet, and at the same time turned quickly again and shot with his feet!

The ball flew into the back corner of the goal from the unresponsive Buffon!

"The ball went in——! zhangjunsgooooooooooal! It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful! Two minutes! Juventus' lead lasted only two minutes! This reminds us of the previous round of the league between Fiorentina and Lecce, where the start was so similar! ”

After the goal, Zhang Jun rushed to the stands of Juventus fans, raised his index finger and put it to his mouth, and the other party was really obedient, and no one made a sound for a while.

This time, it was the turn of thousands of Fiorentina fans to party.

※※※

The commentator is right to say that this game is indeed very similar to the Fiorentina and Lecce game, not just the start.

Just when Juventus was thinking about how to regain their strength and launch a new offensive against Fiorentina. In the sixteenth minute, Fiorentina won a throw-in on the left side of the Juventus penalty area.

In Sabato's team, there are special candidates for throw-ins, usually two full-backs. Especially Xiang Tao, this person's arm strength is amazing, his throw-in is like a grenade, which can be thrown directly from outside the bounds to the opponent's goal, which is simply a corner kick sent by hand.

This time, it was naturally Xiang Tao who went to the throw-in. He wiped the soccer ball in his arms repeatedly until it was clean, then lifted it, and then retreated all the way to the billboard, a long run-up that everyone knew he was going to throw a free kick straight in front of the goal.

Sure enough, the football thrown by Xiang Tao with all his strength flew high past the Juventus defenders, and then fell straight in front of the goal!

Zhang Jun leaned on Juventus defender De Rong, who was defending him, and then jumped high and hit the goal with his back to the goal with a beautiful header!

Buffon didn't expect that under Derong's full defense, Zhang Jun could jump up with a header so easily, and the football flew in front of him into the near corner of the goal!

"Eight minutes! In just eight minutes, Fiorentina went from falling behind to overtaking! It's exactly the same as the Lecce fight! Will this be the case in the future? Can Fiorentina really play Juventus as Lecce? The Sky TV commentator shouted that no one could have imagined that this game would be so exciting before the game.

"This is Zhang Jun's strength! Buffon is old, and he can't play a pinnacle confrontation with Zhang Jun like he did in previous years......" At the end, the commentator sighed again. At the beginning, the confrontation between Fiorentina and Juventus, the one-on-one between Zhang Jun and Buffon was always talked about. Today, Zhang Jun has become the hottest star on the planet, while the 33-year-old Buffon is going downhill step by step.

There are talents from all generations, and each has been leading the way for four or five years......

※※※

Once again, the commentator was right, and the ensuing development of the game really made Juventus fans want to jump off the building in surprise, and to the delight of Fiorentina fans, Alpi almost turned into Frankie.

After Zhang Jun scored two goals in eight minutes to overtake the score, Juventus was obviously blinded, they didn't expect that Fiorentina in their home stadium would really be like playing at home, with momentum like a rainbow and unstoppable!

In the 31st and 32nd minutes, within two minutes, Pacini scored twice. What puzzled the experts was that the two goals were scored in almost identical ways: goalkeeper Frei launched a direct attack with a big foot, a long pass to the left, Gasbaroni received the ball, and then crossed, Pacini outflanked the middle and scored the ball......

Throughout this process, Juventus' right wing-back, Dutchman De Jong, almost disappeared and did not play the role he was supposed to play at all. When Zhang Jun scored the second goal, Derong's performance was not satisfactory, he did not contain Zhang Jun's jump and header at all, and even did not interfere.

Seeing that his team fell behind 1:4 before the first half was over, Hiddink was so anxious off the field that he wanted to scold his mother. Before the game, he said that he would end Florence's unbeaten record, but he didn't expect to let Florence bite back, and the bite was so painful. Looking at the bloody score on the big screen, he frowned.

'Hooray!' Ball King' Zhang Jun! Banzai! Invincible Florence!! "The Fiorentina fans were singing and dancing in the stands, and the Juventus fans next to them were so angry that if it weren't for the five rows of stands in the middle and the heavily armed policemen blocking them, they would have rushed over and tore each other to shreds.

※※※

During the intermission, countless TV viewers couldn't believe their eyes as they watched the scores played on the screen. Although Fiorentina has been in the limelight recently, and what a good player the team has, Juventus is not good at stubble, how can it be possible for Fiorentina to play a 1:4 at their home stadium?! It's incredible!

At the end of the pitch, the Juventus players lost the arrogance of the start, and one by one they lowered their heads and quickly slipped into the tunnel as if they were running away, while the boos of the Juventus fans resounded over Alpi.

At half-time, the commentator lamented: "This game is over, Juventus look like they have no fighting spirit, such a Fiorentina team is invincible!" Their unbeaten streak will continue...... Although we all want the league to be more competitive and look better, Fiorentina is like a monster and there is no room for any accident in front of them. It's horrible, who can stop them? ”

At half-time, there were already reporters working on the game, and before the game they were going to watch Sabato's joke and see how he ate a soccer ball in front of all Italians, and now it was their turn to be glad they didn't bet on Sabato. Sabato is arrogant, and he does have this capital. If you can't find a team in the north that can beat Juventus in Alpi, there may only be Fiorentina in Serie A.

※※※

No one knows how Hiddink will treat this group of men who have lost his face in the dressing room, but it is conceivable that it will certainly not be soft-spoken and gentle. The Juventus players who came out of the dressing room and their manager had a look on their face - a straight face, looking very unhappy and unhappy.

After the game, Hiddink was said to have almost smashed everything he could in the dressing room, barking at his players like a mad beast and angrily scolding them for throwing all Juventini's faces.

I think it was this tossing that had an effect, and Juventus in the second half was obviously much more positive than in the first half.

In the 59th minute, Guus Hiddink finally couldn't take enough of the poor performance of his Dutch countryman and replaced the sleepwalking De Wing with a young full-back, Colombo.

At the same time, the injured Bodinov was replaced with veteran goalscorer Trezeguet.

These two substitutions were talked about later because they changed the situation on the pitch and it was immediate!

A minute later, Trezeguet, who had just come on the pitch, received the ball in the Fiorentina penalty area, then dangled left and right, dodged the space to shoot, raised his foot and fired low, the ball evaded Frei's defense and drilled into the back corner of the goal!

Juventus pull a point back!

Alpi restarted his singing for Juventus.

"Aha! Trezeguet said before the game that he was going to shut up Sabato, and now that his goal has helped the team close the gap to two goals, can he really shut up Sabato? The goal re-energized the commentators, and no one wanted to see a one-sided game, and Juventus finally rekindled their fighting spirit.

Sabato still hasn't gotten up from his seat, and maybe in his opinion, against Fiorentina, who is in such good form, what if Juventus pull two goals back? The same no chance.

※※※

The best part of the game begins to play out, from the 60th minute to the end of the 70th minute, which is called the "crazy ten minutes", and what happens in these ten minutes is enough for some people to go to heaven and enough for the same people to go to hell. The excitement of a football match is on full display in these 10 minutes.

In the 64th minute, Frei wanted to repeat the old trick and drove the football to the left side of the field, hoping that Gasbaroni could receive the ball, and the young full-back Colombo who came up this time was very alert, he rushed the football back, and it happened to the feet of Van der Vaart, Van der Vaart passed the football to Kopa, and Kopa took the opportunity to make the football to Trezeguet who inserted it into the penalty area, and Trezeguet forced his foot to hit the goal under Svensson's close interference!

The soccer ball rolled into the goal for the third time against Frey's foot......

“goooooooooooal! It's so exciting! Juventus have narrowed the gap to just one goal! ”

“frozajuven!!” The Juventus fans in the stands began to applaud in unison, followed by a drum-like applause, followed by a chant of "juven" from the audience. At this time, Fiorentina really had the feeling of being away from home, almost everyone was their enemy, they all wanted them to lose, they all wanted to see their painful expressions.

After being scored in succession, Sabato finally couldn't sit still, he got up from the dugout, paced to the sidelines, and watched nervously into the stadium.

And Hiddink, who was not far from him, kept waving his hand on the sidelines for the team to press, press, press, and press. Scoring two goals in four minutes gave him hope of equalising or even overtaking.

※※※

Fiorentina, who was scored in a row, then organized several counter-attacks, Gasbaroni was the most threatening with a volley from the outside of the penalty area, his shot drew an arc, and the body of the Juventus defender turned into the penalty area, a good Buffon, rose up, bounced out like an arrow from the string, and slapped the ball out of the bottom line with one palm!

Gasbaroni stomped his foot in frustration when he saw that his shot didn't go in, but what could he do? Gianluigi Buffon is still the former best goalkeeper in the world after all, and his style is still there.

Gianluigi Buffon, who was bound to score the goal, was so excited that he jumped up from the ground and roared wildly, which was echoed by the Juventus fans in the stadium, and Alpi once again "juven!" juven! The sound rang out.

Gianluigi Buffon's save was a huge morale boost, and Juventus' attack left Fiorentina tired and no longer threatening the opposition goal.

In the 68th minute, Juventus successfully intercepted in the middle and organized an attack. After three passes and two downs, the football passed to Trezeguet, who played really well in this game, and he passed the ball to Fiorentina goal.

Copa leaps forward in the middle of the sprint and makes a powerful punch!

Fred reacted fast enough, and the rush that was close at hand made him slap it out with one palm!

Before the Juventus fans in the stands could sigh and the Fiorentina fans did not have time to cheer, Van der Vaart, who was ambushed at the back post, suddenly jumped high and rushed in front of Frei and Bonella to put the shot football into the empty goal!!

“goal! goooal! gooooooooooooooal!! It's incredible! It's incredible! It's nothing short of a miracle! Juventus equalised! And they did! Van der Vaart! Fiorentina were dealt a heavy blow and when they were 4-1 up, they would never have imagined that a combatless Juventus would be able to equalise the scores, right?! Well done! Juventus! You've saved a game, you've made a classic! ”

Amid the frantic roars of the commentators, Alpi's stands have long since become the world of the home team's fans.

"Hiddink is a fantastic coach! What kind of magic did he instill in this group of players at halftime? Why do we see two completely different Juventus? Amazing ten minutes! Sabato lost in this encounter, and now maybe everyone is expecting Juventus to score another goal to beat Fiorentina completely, and then see how Sabato will eat a ball in their stomachs, haha! ”

While the Juventus players were still celebrating, a huge cartoon was played in the stands of Juventus fans. The ugly Sabato is desperately trying to stuff a soccer ball in his mouth, and the words underneath read: "Mr. Sabato, let's see how you eat it!" "Originally, this cartoon was prepared before the game, but I didn't expect Fiorentina to take a big lead in the first half, so they were embarrassed to hang out and slap themselves, and now Juventus miraculously equalized the score, and this giant cartoon is naturally going to be taken out. Now it is in the stands and is being dragged by the fans, mocking poor Sabato.

※※※

Li Yan also saw the banner, and I believe that everyone who watched the live TV broadcast also saw it, and it was impossible for the broadcast director not to notice such a dramatic scene. It seems that this game is more than auspicious for Fiorentina, Juventus's stormy attack completely disrupted Fiorentina, equalizing in just ten minutes, and after this morale goes up, it may further expand the results......

But Li Yan is not worried about Sabato at all, he knows that with Sabato's character, even if he loses this game, he will definitely not fulfill his pre-match promise. He was originally the kind of hooligan who turned his face and didn't recognize people, and the words "if you say it, splash it out" has no effect on him at all, what he believes in is "even if you spit out your saliva, you have to lick it back without changing your face and heartbeat", expecting him to honor what he said, isn't this bullshit?

However, Fiorentina's unbeaten record looks like it's coming to an end......

He sighed regretfully.

※※※

Just when Li Yan's breath had not yet dissipated in the air, a scene with the surname of drama occurred on the field again.

Juventus were in attack, so most of Fiorentina's players returned to the vicinity of their penalty area. At this time, Zambrotta passed the football into the penalty area, Trezeguet received the ball, but he fell to the ground, and Xiang Tao, who was in front of him, hurriedly kicked the ball out. That's when he heard the referee's whistle.

"Gasbaroni kicked Trezeguet from behind! It's a penalty! The narrator shouted. Referee Farina not only awarded Juventus a penalty, but also showed a yellow card to Gasbaroni! What a drama, Juventus equalised within ten minutes and now have another chance to overtake the scoreline! ”

“frozajuven!!”

While the Fiorentina players gathered around the referee to protest the complaint, the Juventus players hugged each other. It's a heart-beating game for them. At the end of the first half, even they didn't think they could equalize the score, and now they can come back with a bang. It's wonderful!

Zhang Jun pushed away the other teammates who were about to come up, he was afraid that they would get a yellow card again, he was the captain, he just did this kind of thing. But the referee didn't want to listen to Zhang Jun's explanation, he shook his head vigorously, and at the same time wrote on his notebook that in the 70th minute, Fiorentina No. 6 Gasbaroni fouled in the penalty area, a yellow card, and a penalty.

The penalty was naturally awarded to Trezeguet, who had already scored two goals, and he was set to score his first hat-trick of the season. As he gets older, his playing opportunities have become less and less, but he didn't expect that in the match against the strong team Fiorentina, he still had a chance to complete a hat trick.

Zhang Jun's explanation and appeal were invalid, and the Fiorentina players could only accept the penalty unwillingly.

When Trezeguet placed the ball on the penalty spot, all eyes were on two men, the French goalscorer and the French goalkeeper. Trezeguet vs Frey.

If Trezeguet scores the goal, he will score a hat-trick and Juventus' hopes of winning will be boosted. And if Frei can save this penalty, then he will not only save the team, but also greatly boost the morale of the team, with 20 minutes left in the game, anything is possible, anything can happen! ”

Just as the commentator was in a hurry, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth, and Trezeguet ran away......

Sabato squatted nervously on the sidelines, staring at the two men in front of the door without blinking.

Trezeguet pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal, and Frei judged correctly, pounced sideways in that direction, and then slapped the ball out with one palm! The football that was pounced by him did not pop out of the bottom line, but flew to the right side of the goal, Xiang Tao appeared at the landing point in time, and then directly kicked the football out of the sideline.

"He pounced! Frei saves Trezeguet's penalty!! Is...... It's unbelievable that the development of this game was completely unexpected by everyone! ”

The Fiorentina fans who were watching the game in front of the TV all got up from their seats, and those who were already standing jumped high. Sabato didn't jump, he slammed a hard punch to the ground. Thank God...... Oh no, thanks Frey!

As if redeemed, Gasbaroni, who had made a mistake, lunged at Frey and then hugged him tightly. The other teammates even surrounded the two and patted Frey on the head desperately, thanking him for his excellent performance.

"It was a key one of the keys that saved Fiorentina and at the same time gave Fiorentina hope. I'm sure the next races will be even better! ”

Trezeguet, who missed the penalty, stood in place in frustration and his team-mates came up to comfort him. For them, an incredible equaliser was enough to make them proud, so even if the penalty didn't go through, they had nothing to regret. Pack up your mood and play the rest of the game.

After the game, Frei's crucial save proved to be the final turning point of the game – there were several turning points in the game, which showed just how up and down the game was.

※※※

Frei's save from Juventus' penalty was indeed a huge morale boost for Fiorentina and a 10-minute bombardment before the two sides fell into a tug-of-war, with neither side able to break through the other's goal, and the clock ticked by the minute, and when the fourth official raised a sign on the sidelines for three minutes of injury time, people realized that this exciting and intense game was coming to an end.

"Because the second half was so fluid, the fourth official only gave three minutes of stoppage time, what was that three minutes for? Even if this game is drawn and Fiorentina can continue their unbeaten record, Sabato will have to fulfill his promise that he will have to eat a football in front of all Italians! It is said that the Italian TV station is already planning to set up a special program for this purpose, and I believe that the vast majority of people are now thinking about the game itself, but how Sabato will face the media after the game. ”

The narrator is somewhat gloating, not because he hates Florence, but because there are no people in this world in any country who are in the mood to watch the excitement.

Sabato must have known what a draw would mean for him, so even if Frei saved the penalty and the two sides got entangled with each other, he didn't show any intention of letting up and still stood nervously on the sidelines.

Juventus took the lead from the start, and then Fiorentina fought back frantically to take a 4-1 lead before the break. In the second half, it was Juventus' turn to go crazy again, scoring three goals in ten minutes to equalize the score, and there was still a penalty to come...... It was a memorable match, and it was a great game for everyone – except for Sabato, who had to eat football after the game.

Fiorentina launched their final attack of the game as the game entered the second minute of stoppage time, which was 92 minutes and 50 seconds into the game.

Crewe received a pinpoint long pass from Mascherano at the back and pounced on the ball towards the Juventus penalty area. Because this is an attack from defense to attack, most of the players of Juventus are still desperately trying to return to defense, not for them who have fought for 90 minutes, many people are physically exhausted, and can only slowly go back in the back, and at the same time hope that Fiorentina's attack will be fruitless.

Crewe's dribbling is really amazing, in the face of the football almost stuck to his feet, none of the Juventus defenders dared to break the ball, for fear of giving Fiorentina a free kick in front of the penalty area at the last moment, you know, Zhang Jun's free kick goal rate is amazing.

In this way, the two Juventus defenders "escorted" Crewe all the way into the penalty area. Seeing that the defenders could not count on it, Buffon gritted his teeth and abandoned the door to attack.

Crewe flicked the ball out, and when Buffon was completely close to him, he suddenly crossed! He and Buffon collided with a man on his back, but the football passed smoothly to the middle of the penalty area.

The follow-up Pacini wanted to shoot directly in the face of the empty goal, but he didn't expect him to kick it empty! The ball bounced off his supporting foot and bounced outside, and Zambrotta, who was defending him, was shaken by Pacini's kick and ran straight over his head and rushed into the goal.

Just when people thought that the crisis was over, Zhang Jun was killed. The two defenders who had been running with Crewe just now turned to him in an attempt to block Jang Jun's shot.

The football bounced towards Zhang Jun, but Zhang Jun didn't shoot at the first time, he used his right heel to knock the ball through the narrow gap between the two defenders in a very light lateral run, and then accelerated violently!

The two defenders were caught off guard, one continued to rush forward because of his usual surname, and the other hurriedly braked to turn around and destroy the football that Zhang Jun had knocked behind them. The two just collided head-on! For a while, people in the Juventus penalty area flipped on their backs and fell into pieces.

At this moment, Buffon has pushed away Crewe, who is pressing on him, and then desperately returned to the goal. And Zhang Jun went around in a small circle, and also successfully received the football that he knocked over, he followed and dodged Pazzini who fell to the ground, slammed his foot, deceived Buffon to the ground, and then easily pushed the football to the back corner of the goal......

Zambrotta, who was inside the goal, wanted to clear the siege, but his legs were a little shorter, and instead of kicking the football, he lost his center of gravity and fell into the goal, unwilling to watch the football roll into the goal, and then hit the net and stopped.

"Boom !!"

"Zhang-Jun——!!"

After the goal, Zhang Jun looked very excited and excited, he ran to the stands where the Fiorentina fans were with all his might, and at the same time kept beating the Fiorentina logo on his chest with his right hand, shouting that no one could understand the words.

Sabato leapt from the ground, not in the slightest worried about his soccer game – he would certainly not admit it. But who wouldn't want to walk away as a victor after the race?

"It was the last minute of the game! Zhang Jun scored the most crucial goal! Fiorentina win away at Juventus!! He scored his second hat-trick in the last three league games! It's amazing, it's amazing! This is the real miracle! He saved not only Fiorentina, but also his head coach Antonio. Sabato!! This madman doesn't have to worry about how to eat football! ”

Buffon jumped up from the ground angrily and scolded the defenders who were timid in the defense, while the defenders who were scolded by him watched Zhang Jun's running back helplessly. Purple poured in from all directions, as if a stream merged into a river, and the river eventually flowed into the vast sea. All the Fiorentina players flocked to the stands where the Bauhinia fans were to celebrate the victory with them.

The 50,000 Juventus fans couldn't believe their eyes, and after their team equalised within ten minutes, they didn't perform badly, and they even dreamed of a win over Fiorentina. But now everything has come to naught, and Jang Jun's merciless blow pulls them back to the harsh reality! Great game, great Zhang Jun, great Florence! No one can stop them, no one can defeat them, they are invincible, invincible! ”

Hiddink was like a defeated rooster, bowing his head high. He couldn't believe that his team could still lose such a game. ZHANG Jun...... It's horrible!

There is no doubt that Sabato is a villain because he insulted Juventus and the fans who love it. But many times, it is not the wicked who will be punished......

On the big screen in the stands of the Alpi Stadium, the score of 5:4 is eye-catching, and what is even more dazzling is the three with the same name under the "5". The game is his, and so is the season.

(To be continued)
