Volume 1 Chapter 434 - Taking Siena Lightly (II)
Toney's header was as good as he could reach the top of the ball, and the force was not fully used, but Toney's position for the top was too close to the goal, and goalkeeper Mirante had no time to react. It was only after the ball flew off the side of the net that Mirante made a save.
Toney scored his seventh league goal and the score became 0
There was silence at the scene, the fans of the home team Siena looked at the ball rolling in the net and were speechless, even in the first half, this goal can decide the winner, not to mention that it is now the 76th minute of the second half, for Siena, this important derby has been declared a failure, and in the next few minutes, all Siena can do is try to save a little face.
Away coach Decanio shook his head with a wry smile, this is the difference in strength, in fact, Siena has just created some chances, those chances are not much different from the chances created by Fiorentina, but Fiorentina scored two, Siena did not score a goal.
However, no matter how big the difference in strength is, and no matter what the actual score is, Decanio himself cannot give up, otherwise what awaits them will definitely be a slaughter, this is a derby battle, and the opponent will not be merciful as long as he has the opportunity to score.
"Go up and run positively, it's a fight, not a race."
Siena's players also know this, this is a derby, not an ordinary game, they have no way back, they have to grit their teeth and fight, even if they can't equalize or even score, as long as they work hard, the fans will accept the result and not curse them.
The Siena players continued to attack, and the Fiorentina players did not give up their intention to expand the score, although Fiorentina was aiming for the whole Apennines and did not take Siena seriously, but they also hoped to beat Siena by a big score, prove their dominance in Tuscany, and shock other teams in Tuscany.
The game became more intense in the last ten minutes, with both sides putting a lot of effort into the attack, going back and forth, the tempo of attack and defense was very fast, and both sides also created a number of chances to score.
In the 85th minute of the game, the veteran Chiesa once again proved to the fans and opponents that he is still young
Locatelli spun away from Fiorentina midfielders and played a mid-range overhead ball to Chiesa, who picked the ball past Ujfarusi and then volleyed it over the edge of the box, which bounced off the box and flew past goalkeeper Frei's pounce and into the net.
Siena pulled the score back by one.
There was not much time left, but there was only one goal to separate, which gave Siena a boost of fighting spirit and confidence, and they not only assisted the full-backs, but even the centre-backs stepped forward from time to time in an attempt to equalise in the shortest possible time.
Fiorentina went through a series of tough battles and did not panic in the face of this situation, defending calmly and attacking with all their might when they took the opportunity.
Only three minutes after Siena's attack, Siena, who had used too much force, finally showed a flaw.
Siena's bottom-line cross was punched by goalkeeper Frei and fell to Jorgensen's feet.
Previously, Siena due to the offensive investment of too many troops, they pushed the defense to the forward line, once the ball was lost, immediately full of siege, even at the expense of foul tactics, and this time, Fiorentina took a quick pass to break through Siena's frontcourt pressing, Jorgensen and Fiore Donnadaire three consecutive wall passes, although Jorgensen and Fiore were kicked down, but Donadale got the ball, and passed the ball out of the unguarded position.
The ball kerosene was passed to Tony at the front, because he couldn't get the ball, the counterattack was over, Donadier passed the ball to a large blank space between the central defender and the midfielder, Chen Yu was sprinting here at high speed, Donader trusted Chen Yu's speed, not to mention that Chen Yu is now running head to head with the players who are back to defense, even if Chen Yu is two meters behind, Donader believes that he can also complete the overtaking.
There is really no suspense, Chen Yu easily completed the overtaking of all the players, and still had the strength to observe the situation around and behind him, a Siena midfielder in the middle tried to foul Chen Yu without the ball, but was dodged by Chen Yu.
Chen Yu got the ball and went forward, straight to the Siena penalty area, in front of him, there were only two central defenders of Siena, and Toni was still between the two central defenders, two to two, which is already a very favorable situation for the attacking side, Chen Yu no longer needs to wait for his teammates to assist, his teammates are up, and the opponent's players should also come back, which will only make the situation more complicated.
Chen Yu approached the penalty area at high speed, and the two central defenders Negro and Miania, who were originally defending Tony, immediately lost Tony to intercept Chen Yu, which was an experienced move, because the soldiers were divided into two ways, and it was impossible to prevent the two forwards, and in this way, Tony was placed in an offside position, so that Chen Yu did not dare to pass, and the two of them were able to stop Chen Yu's breakthrough, at least there was a chance to foul.
Chen Yu originally hoped that the opponent would come over with a guard to mark him, so that he could use his speed to pass one person, and he could form an absolute advantageous position of two against one, but now that the opponent's two guards are all over, it will be almost impossible for him to break through, because the opponent's decision to foul must be very resolute.
Chen Yu decisively took the ball to the side, avoiding the defense of the two central defenders and running diagonally towards the baseline.
And at this time, Tony did not stand still, as the official striker of the Italian national team, the P-year-old Toni has a wealth of experience and awareness, he saw the two central defenders leave him, and immediately ran back to prepare to play an anti-offside tactic with Chen Yu.
However, seeing Chen Yu actually running to the side, Tony thought that Chen Yu was going to make a cross, he was quite annoyed, so he could only turn over and run into the penalty area.
At this time, Chen Yu passed the ball, and the ball passed behind them through the gap between the two central defenders, just in time to play a diagonal pass through the tactical coordination with Toney.
"Good"
Seeing that Chen Yu's pass was so clever and the timing was so good, the on-site commentator couldn't help but shout good.
There were not many people who felt the same way as the commentators, and there was already a round of applause in the stands.
"Pretty"
Tony was still complaining, but it immediately turned into a compliment.
At the moment, the two central defenders were turning and chasing back, Toney did not dare to delay, stretched out his foot to block the ball, turned the horizontal rolling ball into a vertical roll, and then went into the penalty area alone.
Toney faces Mirante, and the Italy international plays against the nobody.
Mirant knew that if he could save Toney's one-knife ball, he would be famous, but he also knew that the success rate of the one-knife ball was very low, and he was a very good goalkeeper if he could save two or three out of ten balls. So he was under a lot of psychological pressure, and when Tony made a feint, he immediately pounced, and at this time Tony easily hit the other direction.
Toney comfortably scored the second goal of the game to extend the score to I, so he also scored eight goals this season, two goals away from Chen's 10.
“aIaIaI…… Tony Luca. Toney's beautiful one-on-one goal easily shook Mirante down and scored his eighth goal...... We can't ignore Chen Yu's credit, it is Chen's assault and passing that brought Tony an opportunity, so to speak, this goal, Tony accounted for five points, Chen Yu accounted for three points, and the other two points came from teammates' coordinated passes......"
The commentators shouted at the stadium, and the 2,000 Fiorentina fans chanted from the stands, "We won better than Siena"
Tony on the field ran over and hugged Chen Yu tightly, he thanked Chen Yu for his selflessness, because now the biggest competitors of the top scorer in Serie A are the two of them, Chen Yu assisted him like this, he said that it is impossible not to be moved, empathy, Tony thinks that he may force a breakthrough to shoot.
Prandelli was completely relaxed on the sidelines, cheering and hugging the assistant coach and substitutes before returning to his seat and waiting for the game to end.
By this time, Decanio had lost faith in the equaliser, but for the sake of face, he still ran to the sidelines and let his players continue to attack.
Siena's players did not give up after the kick-off, and continued to charge into the Fiorentina penalty area, but they themselves did not have confidence, like the walking dead who had been sucked out of their souls, and invested a lot of troops in the attack, but they were not able to pose any threat to Fiorentina's goal, but Fiorentina used the counterattack to score a goal again by Jorgensen to lock the score at 4
At the end of the game, the Siena fans were very angry, they couldn't accept the result of being swept by Fiorentina at home, but his players fought to the last minute, they could only spread their anger to the coach Decanio, and the players left soon after the game, but the Siena fans were reluctant to leave, chanting "Decanio is out of class".
Chen Yu and Toney, who scored three goals after the game, were interviewed by reporters, Chen Yu said that he had no revenge, this was just an ordinary game, victory was taken for granted, Fiorentina's strength is stronger than Siena, and now Fiorentina has to do a good job in the following games, especially the Champions League, which is an important goal of Fiorentina this season.
Toney is pleased with his eight goals, saying that he has three more goals than he scored at the same time last season, which is a good sign, but Toney is reluctant to talk about the top scorer, he thinks he and Chen Yu have nothing to gain, as long as the team can win the title at the bottom of the game.
In the post-match press conference, Prandelli said that the game was not easy, because Fiorentina had just finished the Champions League, but the players played very smart, after stabilizing the first half, the second half of the force, easily defeated the derby opponent, Prandelli believes that he has Tony and Chen Yu two strikers is the key to victory, in fact, the whole game, the gap between the two sides is not big.
Siena's coach Decanio was not convinced, saying that he wanted to cause Fiorentina a little trouble at Fiorentina's home stadium, but before he did so, Decanio's words could only be seen as a joke by fans and the media. The match between Siena and Fiorentina is the second match of the round, and after beating Siena, Fiorentina can wait for the result of the match between Juventus and the two Milans.
