Volume 1 Chapter 122 A Time of Crisis
After Chen Yu scored, he broke out, he took off his jersey and ran to the stands with his upper body, and his body was written with white paint "Return my innocence" four big words. This was written to him by Zhao Muyu yesterday in person.
Seeing the big words written on Chen Yu's body, the fans immediately changed their words and shouted: "Return my innocence".
Italian mixed with Chinese, and the shouts resounded throughout the stadium, representing the fans' support for Chen Yu and their disgust with the racists' rumor-mongering.
"ChenGoalChenGoal - 20th goal! 20th goal in 23 games! Under the pressure of Xing Xin, Chen scored again! Cagliari kept a close eye on Chen, but that didn't stop Chen's outburst...... Now the anti-Chen fans are going to panic, Chen has scored! He proved himself that if he had been proven not to have taken the anti-jolt after the race, I wonder what the evil racists would have thought......"
The Fiorentina commentator chanted despite his voice drowning in the torrent of fans.
Luo Pesi, who was staring at Chen Yu, was stunned, until the ball flew into the net, he couldn't believe that Chen Yu had such a header ability, he still thought that Chen Yu's header was blind.
Cagliari's core and captain Zola was also amazed, he witnessed the whole process of the goal, he felt that Chen Yu's empty header was definitely not accidental, his judgment of the arc of the ball landing point was very accurate, and he dared to jump in advance to throw away the defenders, because he was very confident in his ability to bounce and stay in the air. This is by no means made by a person who doesn't know how to head the ball, but judging from Chen Yu's poor performance on the header in the previous ten minutes, Chen Yu's blow just now is completely unreasonable.
Zora could only shake his head helplessly, saying that the Chinese people were too mysterious for him to understand
Cagliari coach Aligooni, who has been calmly observing on the sidelines, is not as real as the player's personal experience, he as the coach has to coordinate the overall situation, and it is impossible to focus only on Chen Yu alone, but he still felt surprised, the first is that the time is too early, the game is less than 20 minutes at the moment, and the second is that he has made extremely thoughtful arrangements for Chen Yu, the defense line is not Lopez, but his arrangement actually failed, Chen Yu threw away one person, passed one person, Scored a beautiful header against one man.
Fiorentina's head coach Mondonico didn't feel any surprise, firstly, he was patronizing to celebrate warmly, and secondly, because he had long been used to Chen Yuzhen's surprise, and now he is accustomed to it, Chen Yu is really doing it step by step, and he is probably inexplicably surprised.
Zhang Shubin in the stands did not jump with joy like Zhao Muyu and Xu Bing after Chen Yu's goal, but sat down with a butt, a heart is now temporarily grounded, he knows that Chen Yu has not eaten Xing Xin, not even this kind of food, the post-game test will also prove Chen Yu's innocence, the key now is that Chen Yu must have an excellent performance, so as to prove that Chen Yu's past magical performance comes from his true ability. This goal at the moment has solved all the problems, just wait for the face to be slapped after the game.
Chen Yu has scored! Florence is ahead! Chen Yu, who was on the cusp of the storm, broke the deadlock and began to redeem himself, while also throwing the pressure on Cagliari.
Cagliari, who are second in Serie B, are not as under as much pressure as Fiorentina, but they do not want to win this game, the points gap between the top 10 is very small, beating Fiorentina, they have one less competitor, and losing to Fiorentina, they may fall directly from second to fourth, which also forced Cagliari to launch a big attack after conceding a goal, and fight for an equalizer to lay the foundation for the comeback in the second half.
Cagliari's attack was met with the fiercest resistance from Fiorentina, and the anger caused by the insults of the excitement turned into a steady stream of motivation for the players, from the most capable Chen Yu and Gao Fei, to the veteran Fontana, and the tall and energy-hungry Ricano, everyone was running and fighting actively.
If each person runs an extra 100 meters, 10 people will run an extra 1,000 meters, and a race will run an extra 9,000 meters, which is the normal running distance of one player per game, which means that Fiorentina's active running is almost equal to one more player for them.
There is a slight gap in strength between Fiorentina and Cagliari, this gap is not large, far from reaching the point of one more person, Fiorentina's active running soon allowed them to take the initiative in the game, and beat Cagliari, who attacked aggressively and wanted to save the defeat.
In the 25th minute of the game, Gianfranco Zola got rid of Fontana with the ball, but before he could get the ball, the high-flying flying tackle came over, Zola avoided it again, and then Fiorentina striker Chen Yu and midfielder Camorani hit back and forth, and Zola had no choice but to pass it out. But the receiver had just gotten the ball and was once again surrounded by the frantically running Fiorentina players, who had to pass the ball to the backfield and then forced to play a long pass to find a teammate in front.
This was a microcosm of the first twenty minutes of the game, and Fiorentina, who were slightly inferior, suppressed Cagliari through their own active running, and dominated not only the score, but also on the field.
Cagliari is an old powerhouse, with a wealth of experience, their captain and core Zola is thirty-seven years old, they know very well what the current state of Fiorentina is, the outside world has questioned their results in the past few days, the attack on their captain, these have made them suppress the anger, and now they have not vented it, Zola wants to avoid its edge, and wait for the opponent's strength to pass and then follow the onslaught, he does not believe that Fiorentina's pressing can last 90 minutes.
Chen Yu and some of Fiorentina's old players also saw Cagliari's intentions, knowing that they wanted to control the rhythm of the game, but Fiorentina was slightly inferior, they could not play as leisurely as Cagliari, when the two sides set up a good position and slowly attacked, they needed a higher tacit understanding and more complicated cooperation to score, and winning with fast pressing chaos is their advantage.
Cagliari kept the tempo of the game in check, and instead of rushing to equalise and attacking evenly, it was Fiorentina's players who were running aggressively, fighting for every ball and making tackles as if they were the side behind them.
The Fiorentina fans in the stands were satisfied, and the applause continued to ring, and from time to time they made waves of Mexicans.
20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes......
The first half passed quickly, and Fiorentina continued to attack, showing no signs of fitness or fighting spirit, but Cagliari was equally poised and although they were unable to equalise, they did not allow Fiorentina to find the back of the net again.
In the second half, the leading Fiorentina continued to attack Cagliari with high morale and abundant physical energy, Cagliari did not dare to be stable now, they accelerated the pace of attack, the opponent's physical fitness looked very good, if they continued to attack for half an hour, Cagliari would have little hope of winning.
Less than ten minutes into the second half, Cagliari suddenly began to exert force, and the three lines pressed forward in unison, catching Fiorentina off guard.
In the 15th minute of the game, the veteran Zola made a direct pass and flew to the right rib, and Gao Fei in the retreat in order to prevent Esposito from getting the ball at the throat, he could only stop the ball in the air with an extremely shady arm at the moment before entering the penalty area, but the assistant referee was aware of it and immediately waved the flag to tell the referee, and the referee awarded a free kick and gave Goofy a yellow card.
Zola fired in another direct free-kick and goalkeeper Sejavi lived up to his pre-match statement, with great concentration and quick reflexes, once again saving Zola's extremely tricky ball off the touchline.
However, Gao Fei dyed yellow to cast a shadow on Fiorentina's defense, among the four midfielders of Fiorentina, only Gao Fei is a complete defensive player, not responsible for attacking, his unremitting running provides a barrier for his two central defenders, and now he has received a yellow card, and the back action must be cautious, and tactical fouls may not dare to be used again, which puts forward higher requirements for the backline.
Cagliari had a lot of experience and it was easy to make a flaw, and they took advantage of Goofy's point to attack desperately to break through the entire Fiorentina defence.
Zola is slower and can't get rid of it after breaking through, Goofy doesn't need to foul, just chase back, so the cunning Zola and Eshyposito switched positions, allowing the fast and powerful Eshyposito to come to the middle to attack.
This change of position was fatal for Goofy, who was no weaker than Goofy and faster than Goofy, who was broken through twice in a row in defence and whose role in the midfielder was rendered useless.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Mondonico quickly made a substitution, replacing Goofy with Udinese's former central defender Manfredini Jr. to strengthen the defense in the midfield position.
Manfredini Jr. is very strong, but not from the back, although the defensive skills of the central defender and the back are not very different, but after all, there is a gap, and Manfredini Jr. has played less recently, and his state is average, he can only say that he can barely make some trouble for Ehiposito in this position, and he can't completely prevent Eshiposito.
Cagliari was more offensive after Fiorentina's substitution, in the 60th minute of the game, Zola quickly sent a free kick on the right side, he and Esposito's exquisite one-two got rid of it, Fiorentina's entire defense, Zola himself in the penalty area a change of direction to get rid of De Ricari, thanks to the back is Manfredini Jr., who is a defender, he returned in time to drive the ball out of the bottom line to avoid Fiorentina conceding.
Seeing Zola so brave, Cagliari fans sang Zola's familiar chorus at Fiorentina's home stadium, "Gian-co-Zo-la-Lalala."
"
“chengoal——chengoal——’’
The Fiorentina fans did not show weakness, and at this time, they also chanted Chen Yu's name to confront the Cagliari fans, hoping that their ace scorer Chen Yu, the new god of war, could once again exert his might and defeat the arrogance of his opponent.
