Volume 1 Chapter 198 Who is the Dark Horse (Medium)
Goalkeeper Guadalben is a strong player, although he was not prepared before, but he reacted quickly, jumped up, and hit the ball with his fingertips, the ball was touched by Guadalben, hit the crossbar and bounced onto the goal line, and the defender who followed hurriedly kicked the ball out.
Although Chen Yu's long-range shot failed to break through the door of Palermo, it gave a great deterrent to the Palermo defenders and brought a lot of confidence to the Fiorentina players.
After Fiorentina took the throw-in, Chiellini continued to attack Zacardo on the left, and in the face of Palermo's bloody pressing, there was little hope of breaking through the middle, and the sparsely populated wing was the focus of Fiorentina's attack, and Gigu also followed to assist along the way.
Zacardo is a tough guy type player, and if he encounters a technical player in this style, opponents may be afraid that his ferocity will not be able to show his strength, but Chiellini is not a good man and a woman, and the two met together and soon had a good show.
In the 16th minute of the game, Gigu saw Zaccardo pounce on the side and quickly split the ball, and Chiellini followed quickly to insert it and wanted to break through to the bottom line and cross.
Zaccardo saw the ball go out, and he turned quickly and chased after Chiellini.
Chiellini's speed was not slow, and he started first, Zaccardo used all his strength to eat and was always one position behind Chiellini, he saw that Chiellini was about to cross to the bottom line, and the distance between the two seemed to be a little wider, which annoyed Zaccardo, and he did not hesitate to reach out and pull Chiellini.
Chiellini was going to speed up a little more and get rid of Carardo's cross completely, but before he could exert his strength, he felt a force behind him pull him, and then he couldn't control his center of gravity and staggered down on the turf.
force
The referee's whistle blew.
Free kick, yellow card.
Carardo's performance was relatively bad before, the referee looked at the situation at home, and never gave him a card, this time he really couldn't stand it, and gave him a yellow card to let him be honest.
Originally, Fiorentina's free kick did not have a fixed player to take the penalty, but this time Chen Yu took the initiative to ask for help, of course, no one in Fiorentina's players dared to grab Chen Yu.
It turned out that Chen Yu didn't dare to take free kicks easily, but now the player he bound was Marcelinho, who was a very comprehensive player, and the free kicks also had good kung fu, so Chen Yu decided to give it a try. And no one's free-kick is more reliable right now.
Chen Yu is standing in front of the free kick at this moment, and standing in front of the free kick a year ago, the pressure on the goalkeeper is completely different, a year ago, Chen Yu was only a Serie B player, but now, he has become famous in the Apennine Peninsula, and even the entire European football world has begun to know that Fiorentina has an all-round striker who scores goals.
Guadalben was on guard, but he didn't think Chen Yu would shoot directly, it was a free kick that was almost a short corner, the angle was not big, and it was extremely difficult to shoot directly, Guadalben was mainly staring at Ricano, Jorgensen and others who were outflanked in front of the goal.
After Chen Yu bound Marcelinho, he was Marcelinho in terms of playing style, full of creativity, although in this position, he did not just want to pass the ball, but kicked a curling ball towards the back post.
Guadar didn't expect Chen Yu to shoot directly at this position, he almost hit the ball with his hand as it flew over his head, and this time it was also very crucial, the ball grazed the post again and flew out of the bottom line.
Fiorentina made two threatening attacks in a row, both of which came from Chen Yu's feet, which made Tony's face a little unbearable.
Like Chen Yu, although he is a striker, Tony is the core of Palermo, and the only core, all of Xiao Zhuge's tactics revolve around Tony, no matter how many strikers Zamparini buys from Florence, Guidolin's favorite is the single striker tactic, unless the situation is very special at the time, Guidolin will use the double striker tactic.
Tony himself has a sense of responsibility and pride, and after many setbacks, Tony has a lot of affection for Palermo, and this is where he has risen again and is taken seriously by the outside world, and he wants to grow up with Palermo.
For Chen Yu, Toni has no hostility, but has always existed as his opponent, last season, Palermo was the champion of Serie B, if there is no Chen Yu, Toni is likely to win the top scorer of Serie B, but Chen Yu's super state of averaging one goal per game makes him have to bow down, otherwise he may still score more goals.
Now seeing Chen Yu's performance so well and completely stealing the limelight of the players in the game, Tony couldn't stand it anymore, and he began to shout to his teammates to press forward, put pressure on the opponent, and create offensive opportunities for him.
Palermo occupies the advantage of the home field, and it is no worse than Fiorentina in terms of staffing, especially on the two wings, Grosso and Zaccardo are very strong, Grosso is more attacking, Zaccardo is stronger in defense, the two have just suffered a little in defense, and they have been suppressed very much, and Zacardo also ate a yellow card, continue to defend stubbornly, maybe they will eat cards, they also intend to attack, and now as soon as Toni greets, they immediately took action and launched an attack on Fiorentina's half.
Grosso is already a player in the Italian national team, while Maggio is still just a rising star, and if Grosso lets go to attack, Maggio will still be difficult to resist.
In the twentieth minute of the game, Grosso drove straight into the side and went straight to the vicinity of the Fiorentina penalty area, Maggio had been retreating before, trying to press Grosso's forward space, but Grosso did not want to go down, came to the side of the penalty area, and suddenly smashed the ball and went inside.
Maggio has always been heavy on offense and light on defense, although he has grown rapidly over the years, but the defense is still not as good as the offense, and Grosso's buckle is not so unexpected, but Maggio was shaken, his feet slipped, and he stumbled.
Grosso was originally trying to attack, but when he saw that Maggio had taken a feint, he immediately quickly inserted himself into the penalty area.
Fiorentina had to have players come and intercept at the moment, with centre-back Ouj Farousi and midfielder Obodo both coming over at this time to guard against Grosso to continue to cut inside and shoot.
Although Grosso is very capable, Tony is the core of the team at this time, and all his work is to serve Toney, not to score by himself, and when he sees the defensive power that attracts the opponent, he immediately passes the ball to Tony.
Grosso's pass was very accurate, just in front of Toney, although Fiorentina's central defender Dainelli was also in position at this time, but Toni was tall and long-legged, and the two made movements at the same time, and Toni touched the ball first.
The ball was about three meters in front of the goal, Tony just touched it, the ball rolled into the net, goalkeeper Lupatelli had no way at all, the distance was too close, he couldn't react even if he was fast.
In the first minute, Palermo, who had been defending on the counter-attack, took the lead thanks to an assist from full-back Grosso and a goal from centre-forward Toney.
The goal was like a thunderclap on the ground, which excited the otherwise slightly dull home fans, who roared and jumped up to applaud desperately.
Palermo's head coach Guidolin was also overjoyed, hugging each player and applauding the fans for their support.
Palermo's goal hit Fiorentina hard, they had several chances to score, but they couldn't take it, the opponent didn't have more chances than Fiorentina, but this time Toney seized the opportunity, which made the Fiorentina players have a very aggrieved feeling.
Tony regarded Chen Yu as an opponent, Chen Yu did not underestimate Tony, this is a very strong opponent, in the last round, Tony almost single-handedly forced Inter Milan, and Chen Yu also found out Tony's level through his own system, a senior star, only one step away from a superstar, how dare Chen Yu underestimate him
Now seeing Tony score, Chen Yu has become more positive, after the game restarted, he continued to look for opportunities in the front court, and his teammates also actively cooperated to create opportunities for Chen Yu.
At this time, the teammates also understood Chen Yu's feelings, and they were willing to help Chen Yu score goals, which was not only a confrontation between the two teams, but also a confrontation between two strikers who were gradually becoming famous.
Chen Yu's style of this game is completely different from the original him, and at this moment, Chen Yu is more daring to complete the pass in the crowd at the front of the penalty area, and often shoots from a distance.
In the first minute of the game, Chen Yu received the ball from the side 30 meters in front of the goal, he stepped on the ball and turned around, shook off the Palermo midfielder who pounced, and then pulled the ball forward and quickly killed it in the Palermo penalty area.
Chen Yu was very fast with the ball, and a player who came from the flying tackle was dodged by him again, and he was less than twenty-five meters away from the goal.
At this time, two defenders from Palermo pounced to keep Chen Yu out of the door and prevent him from rushing into the penalty area.
At this moment, Chen Yu's movements were always unexpected by the opponent, and seeing the opponent's two people intercepting him, Chen Yu suddenly shot with his feet in the middle of running.
The ball flew through the gap between the two defenders and hit goalkeeper Guadalben by surprise again.
However, Chen Yu's ball had no shooting angle, and could only play the gap between the two defenders, and the ball hit a little square, just hitting Guadalben's body and bounced out.
This shot was so sudden, neither the goalkeeper nor the defender reacted, but Chen Yu quickly rushed to the penalty area when he shot, that is, in a second or two, Chen Yu had already entered the penalty area and went straight to the ball that bounced back.
