Volume 1 Chapter 238 The Brave Goalkeeper
"How's Emerson? Can you play? If I can't, I'll let Oliveira replace him. ”
Chen Yu's attack this time was unsuccessful, but Capello was scared out of a cold sweat, and he urged Emerson to play without waiting for Emerson to fully rest.
The team doctor said: "It's just that the thigh was hit, and there were no other injuries, but the impact was a bit heavy, and I need to rest more." ”
Emerson also saw the dangerous situation on the pitch, and he barely stood up, "It's okay, I can play." ”
Capello nodded to Ai General, "Okay, if there is anything wrong, come down and keep an eye on that Chinese, he is too active." ”
"I understand."
Emerson limped onto the pitch.
Chen Yu's one-on-one shot and beautiful breakthrough just now gave his teammates great encouragement and ignited their attacking enthusiasm, and Emerson's arrival did not let the Fiorentina players restrain a little, and their three lines were still pressed, launching onslaught from the flanks and the middle.
After Chen Yu retreated, the middle lane became the backbone of the attack.
Chen Yu took the ball and broke through in the middle, Jorgensen and Mareska echoed on both sides, and Mikoli was at the front looking for opportunities.
The change in Fiorentina's attack made Juventus uncomfortable, and after Emerson was knocked out, there was still some pain in his thigh, and in this situation, Fiorentina quickly dominated the field and had a good chance to shoot since the start of the game.
In the 36th minute of the game, Chen Yu drove straight into the ball with the ball, Blasi grabbed and was eaten by Chen Yu with speed, Emerson and came up to attack, Chen Yu stabbed the ball just before the two came up.
Maresca's aggressive movement earned him time and space to get the ball, and Camoranesi didn't have time to get the ball in the first place, Maresca took two steps and passed the ball to Mikoli as soon as he was out of position.
Mikoli was a little quicker than Thuram, he didn't have time to stop the pass from this side, and he didn't expect to get out of Thuram's defence and into the box, and in the shortest amount of time and in the smallest space, Mikoli made a difficult half-turn volley from outside the box.
The difficulty of the volley is not small, and the half-turned volley is even rarer, such a shot is beyond the expectations of goalkeeper Buffon, but he is in good position, quick to react, in this lightning moment, he jumped up and hit the ball with one hand.
It's a great shot, and it's a classic.
The stands resounded with applause and cheers from fans on both sides.
Seeing such a shot saved, Mikoli couldn't help but shake his head again and again, lamenting his bad luck.
Buffon was apprehensive, but instead of showing it, he slapped his teammates to encourage them to concentrate and defend well
The attack was dominant, and Fiorentina also put more troops into the corners.
The dim-tall Mikoli took the corner, and De Licari, Dainelli, Chen Yu, Jorgensen and Chiellini came to the Juventus penalty area to compete for a header.
Fiorentina also had a chance to take a corner before, but Juventus had excellent defensive ability and Fiorentina did little to threaten, and this time Mikoli sent a forward point and the ball found Chiellini.
Chiellini, who was strong and bold, got his header back before his opponent could get there, and the ball flew towards the centre of the net
When Mikoli sent a corner, everyone began to grab the position, and after the ball was rubbed by Chiellini, the first time the position was useless, and everyone quickly adjusted their bodies to grab the point again.
The first time to grab a point, everyone is ready, and the second time to grab a point depends on who has a fast reaction, whose movements are sensitive, and whose body is strong.
Chen Yu's overall quality was clearly superior, and he grabbed the landing spot before everyone else, jumped high and smashed a powerful header into the right post of the goal.
Chen Yu felt that his header was very good, but Buffon was like a divine helper, and flew again to save Chen Yu's header from the bottom line.
There was a burst of warm applause in the stands, this is the second time Buffon won the conversation with Chen Yu, originally this game was considered by many to be the battle between Chen Yu and Ibrahimovic, but the game has been played so far, Ibrahimovic has not got any good opportunities, and there is no outstanding performance, but Buffon is very eye-catching, and the duel between him and Chen Yu has become the biggest highlight of the first half.
Chen Yu waved his fist vigorously, feeling a little regretful, but he had to admire Buffon's strength, this was the first time he met a world-class goalkeeper, when he played with such a goalkeeper, Chen Yu finally understood that "a good goalkeeper is equivalent to half a team" The saying is not nonsense, Fiorentina's two attacks have been done perfectly, but in the end Buffon resolved the danger.
Fiorentina then had a chance to take a corner, and this time, Mikoli tried to hit the front post again, but this time Juventus did not allow Fiorentina's tactics to succeed, and Blasi scrambled to head the ball over the touchline.
Chen Yu retreated, the Fiorentina midfield became five, and Emerson, the core of Juventus' offensive and defensive conversion, returned to normal, but there was no way to immediately regain control of the ball from Fiorentina's hands, and Fiorentina was still the one who took the initiative.
In the blink of an eye, the clock entered the stoppage time of the first half, and fans on both sides thought that the first half was over and that the score would hardly change anything. Juventus, who controlled the ball, were in a passive state for nearly ten minutes in the first ten minutes, and at this time they were not in a hurry to attack, they just wanted to control the ball to find a flaw in Fiorentina, and if they found it, they would play it, and if they couldn't find a flaw, they would consume the two minutes of stoppage time.
Fiorentina, who had a slight upper hand at the end, were a little unwilling, they actively scrambled, and finally forced the ball to goalkeeper Buffon.
Facing the fast-moving Micoli, Buffon did not use his hands to receive the return pass kicked by his team-mate, he could only drive the ball forward with his big foot to relieve the pressure from the defence.
Buffon's big foot drove very far, directly to the edge of the Fiorentina penalty area.
At the moment, Juventus only have three players in the front, Swede Ibrahimovic in the middle, Piero who acts as a shadow striker behind Ibrahimovic, and Camoranesi who roams on the wing.
When the ball flew, Ibrahimovic, who was 1.91 meters tall, ran over to grab the landing point, and the back Dericari didn't want Ibrahimovic to get the ball, so he jumped up quickly to clear the siege, he knew that the Swede's foot skills were very good, so that he didn't know what was wrong with the ball when he got the ball, and it was a minute later, and it was safe to clear the ball out of the circle.
Derikari ran in such a hurry that he jumped up and missed the top, and the ball slipped over his head just in time for Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic jumped up to stop the ball with his chest, while his team-mate's movement was in full view.
Piero was closely watched by Obodo, who did not let his guard down at all against the zebra prince and did not give Piero any chance in the 45th minute of the half.
Camoranesi was unmarked on the wing, and he ran with Fiorentina's Jorgensen, both running towards Ibrahimovic, only to pick up and one to assist.
Ibrahimovic is tall, but not stupid at all, he practiced taekwondo in his early years, his body is extremely flexible, his chest easily controls the ball, and when the ball falls, he swings the outside of his instep to the outside, and the ball flies accurately to the line where Camoranesi runs.
It was undoubtedly a beautiful pass, Fiorentina's defence was not yet in place, and most people's attention was drawn to Ibrahimovic, and this diversion allowed Camoranesi to easily take the ball and attack down the wing.
Camoranesi handled the ball more beautifully, he didn't go straight to the baseline, but pushed the ball up in his chest and slashed diagonally towards the ribs of the box.
Camoranesi threw Jorgensen, who was running parallel to him, completely out of the way, and became an unmarked wild horse.
Dericari and Ujfaroohi both came to defend Camoranesi, with a frontal block and a flank interception.
Camoranesi looked at himself and he didn't hesitate to pass the ball to Ibrahimovic again.
With his back to goal, Ibrahimovic got close to Dainelli and passed the ball straight to Piero.
Ibrahimovic passed the ball quickly and the defenders and midfielders did not touch it.
Piero has been followed by Obodo, and the Bianconeri's skill and imagination have been blocked, but at this time, Piero's imagination exploded, he stopped the ball, knocked his heel to the side, and the ball reached Juventus defender Emerson who was quickly moving forward.
Emerson slammed the ball and dribbled forward at high speed.
At this moment, every player in the Fiorentina back field has a task, Emerson's forward cut is unmarked, see Emerson is almost in the penalty area, and the defenders don't care about defending Ibrahimovic and Piero, they all run towards Emerson.
Emerson saw that he had reached the edge of the penalty area, and stopped passing the ball and shot straight away.
At this moment, Maresca, who was desperately trying to defend back, also arrived, and he flew to tackle the past, but he was a step too late and collided with Emerson, who had finished shooting, but could not stop Emerson's shot.
Emerson's shot exploded with the most force he had, and the ball flew straight towards the left-hand post like a cannonball.
At the edge of the penalty area, such a powerful shot was so powerful that Fiorentina fans were in their throats.
But under Buffon's stimulus, Lupatelli also exploded, and he leaped, stretched his body to the extreme, and poked the ball out of the box with his fingertips.
There was a burst of applause from the stands, this time from the Fiorentina fans, who were proud of the performance of their goalkeeper Lupatelli, who was not bad, although much less famous than Buffon.
Juventus won a corner, but when Piero went to take the corner, it was only when the crowd realized that Emerson, who had finished the goal, had no problem, and he stood up and took two steps, with a painful look on his face, and made a substitution gesture to Capello on the sidelines.
There was only about one chance left in the game, and under normal circumstances, Emerson held on until the end of the game, and now it looks like Emerson can't support it.
Capello sighed, there was no choice but to replace Emerson with Oliveira and complete Juventus's last corner kick attack.
This is Juventus's fifth corner, the previous few corners, without Trezeguet's header, Ibrahimovic has a height advantage, but there is no way to get air supremacy in the Fiorentina penalty area, this time Piero also sent a front point, Camoranesi rubbed in front of the point, the ball flew to the middle, at this time Ibrahimovic's tall role came into play, when the ball flew over, he jumped up and headed a little, the ball bounced on the ground and flew to the net.
Fiorentina's goalkeeper Lupatelli reacted quickly, and Ibrahimovic's rebound ball was difficult to save, but Lupatelli actually hit the ball with his hand after his body flew out of the ball, and blocked the rebound ball that must be scored.
Just when the Juventus fans were about to scold their mother, and the Fiorentina fans thanked God, a player in a black and white zebra shirt in the crowd stretched out his foot and stabbed the ball into the empty goal.
The goal was scored by Oliveira, who had just come on the pitch, and after less than 30 seconds on the pitch, the ball went in for the first touch.
