Volume 1 Chapter 482 Toldo Strikes

The header rubbed back but rubbed an arc, which no one could have imagined, goalkeeper Storari was shaken by this tactical corner kick, and he didn't have time to attack, even if he wanted to attack, it was very difficult, because there were a lot of players standing in the penalty area, and he couldn't rush at all.

Neither Di Natale nor Toni touched the ball, and the two of them ran a fraction of a second off the ball, with Toney running a little through the middle and Di Natale a little behind.

The ball flew towards the back corner of the net in its original trajectory, but fortunately the full-back Parisi, who was standing at the back post, struggled to jump up and barely managed to get the ball out of the corner.

The ball was not far from the top, it was picked up by Brocki at the edge of the box, Fiorentina stopped with his chest and hit the ball like an arrow towards the goal again.

Storari made a timely save as he single-handedly hit the crossbar to clear Fiorentina's corner.

Fiorentina were awarded another corner, but this time Messina had experience and Fiore's cross was headed wide of the touchline by a defender.

After nearly half an hour of intense attacking and defending, the physical and mental slackness, the number of attacks into the opponent's penalty area was reduced, and the two sides were more entangled in the midfield, until the end of the first half, Messina was unwilling to return to the locker room with the L ball behind, and they launched another wave of fierce attacks.

Fiorentina's tactical arrangement in this game was to reduce the return of Toney and Chen Yu to contain the opponent's backline, but in the last moment of the first half, Messina's two fullbacks suddenly boldly assisted, especially Aronica who was suppressed by Chen Yu for almost 45 minutes, he saw Chen Yu break through the cross from his side, the ball was obtained by goalkeeper Storari, and immediately beckoned for the ball.

Storari tossed the ball to the wing, where Aronica cut in at high speed and dribbled towards Fiorentina's box.

Chen Yu just used his speed to force a breakthrough, after passing, his body rushed to the near the billboard, and when he controlled his body, he turned his head to see that Aronica had already killed his half at high speed, Chen Yu was shocked, and quickly returned to his own half.

Messina's defensive counterattack was very resolute and decisive, Aronica used speed to get rid of Fiore's interception in Messina's half, quickly passed the half, and when Fiorentina's right-back Ujfarusi met him, Aronica passed the ball to the core of the midfield, Donati, and continued to insert himself into Fiorentina's bottom line at high speed.

Aronica brought in Ujfarusi, Donati brought in Brockie and Messina's two strikers formed a situation against two centre-backs.

Donati decisively passed the ball to Dynapoli before Brockie arrived, and Dynapoli received the ball and ran into the box at high speed, while the other striker, Muslimovich, did not separate and run to open up space for Dynapoli, but instead ran in the direction of Dinapoli, and at the same time attracted another central defender, Gambellini, to the vicinity of Dinapoli.

The mixing of two centre-backs and two strikers affected Dinapoli's speed with the ball, but it also gave up space in both ribs, giving Dinapoli more options and making it more difficult for Dainelli to judge the intention of Dinapoli with the ball.

Sure enough, after making a feint, DiNapoli suddenly accelerated to break through in the direction that Gamberini had just moved.

DiNapoli's feints confused Gamberini, and the change of direction confused Dainelli, the two were originally passive defenders, and this time they were even slower, and when Gambelli and Dainelli switched defenses, they had been pulled away by Dinapoli. Di Napoli burst into the box from the right flank and Gambellini chased after him desperately, ready to make a stop when he was shooting.

However, the initiative is no longer on Gambelli's side at this time, and if Di Napoli does not pursue the power of the shot, he will not have time to intercept at all.

Toldo has been keeping a close eye on Dynapoli with the ball, and seeing Dinapoli form a breakthrough, Toldo made a decisive attack, he stretched out his arms and rushed towards Dinapoli like a roc spreading his wings

With a block in front and a chasing man behind, Di Napoli didn't make any unnecessary moves and didn't shoot hard, but flicked the ball with the outside of his foot to get the ball away from Toldo's side and towards the far post.

DiNapoli's shot was so subtle that Gambellini behind him didn't have time to make an interception, and it was almost impossible for Toldo to make a save, and the ball must have flown past before his tall body fell.

After the shot, Di Napoli was ready to celebrate, but he made the shot a little slower, only to be knocked over by Gambelli behind him, and at the moment of falling to the ground, Di Napoli found that Toldo moved his leg in the nick of time, and actually blocked the ball with his foot away from the direction of the shot.

It was already 45 minutes when Messina launched the attack, and the Fiorentina fans were ready to take a break, but the situation suddenly changed, and Messina's rapid counterattack actually formed a great threat, when Dinapoli burst into the penalty area to shoot, the Fiorentina fans were terrified, some were praying, some exclaimed, and some even closed their eyes and did not dare to look.

Messina's players and fans are ready to celebrate, and if they can equalize, it will be a big morale boost for them, and if they go back to the dressing room and adjust again, they may have a chance to turn the game around in the second half.

But the dream came to naught, and after the inevitable shot was blocked by Toldo with his foot, it bounced off the post, and Brockie, who arrived in time, flew up and kicked the ball off the sideline.

At this time, the Fiorentina fans woke up like a dream and applauded Toldo's wonderful performance desperately.

The on-site commentator was pleasantly surprised: "Toldo played at the world's level in the first game, he doesn't seem to need a little time to adapt, five years at Inter Milan is like a dream for him, he woke up, and he appeared at the familiar Frankie Stadium again." ”

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half as Messina sent the ball to the sideline, and the players from both sides stopped scrambling and walked towards the dressing room.

Once again, the fans in the stands applauded Fiorentina and applauded their brilliant first half

The Fiorentina players also applauded their fans for their continued support.

Back in the dressing room, Fiorentina coach Prandelli praised the wonderful performance of his players, especially Toldo, saying that his two key saves changed the course of the game, Fiorentina's door has Toldo, the experienced goalkeeper, the back line is more solid, and the players in the front field are more able to play their attacking talents without any worries.

However, Prandelli also pointed out that Messina is good enough to at least pose a threat to Fiorentina's goal, and if Fiorentina wants to win, they must not give Messina as many chances in the first half and must score one or two more goals to ensure victory.

Prandelli didn't make any adjustments to the tactics, just arranged them in the details, and then didn't stay in the dressing room for much longer, leaving time for the players to communicate and relax.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the pitch for the last 45 minutes.

Messina created an almost inevitable chance at the end of the first half, which gave Messina's players more confidence, and after the start of the second half, they took the lead in attacking and wanted to beat Fiorentina by surprise, but Fiorentina did not relax because of the lead of one goal, they were well prepared, and Messina's attack did not succeed.

Then the two sides fought in the midfield, but no one had a way to break through the opponent's door again, after more than ten minutes, Messina couldn't hold his breath, now Fiorentina is ahead, time consumption is not good for Messina, Messina took the lead in the first minute of the game, Scully replaced Muslimovich, made adjustments on the front line, and continued to strengthen the offensive.

Fiorentina still haven't made any changes to their starting line-up and style of play, they have had a slight advantage from the start and are leading the scoreline, and from any point of view, Prandelli has no reason to make any changes to their current line-up and style of play.

However, Messina's strength is like that, although Muslimovic is not as young and impactful as Scurly, but Fiorentina's backline is strong, and Scully does not create more scoring opportunities for Dinapoli.

In the 70th minute of the game, Messina attacked aggressively, but after the ball hit the front, he lost patience in the face of Fiorentina's tight defense, Donati passed the ball directly to the penalty area without forming a breakthrough on the side, and let his striker grab the point to shoot.

Defending with such a pass, Fiorentina's defenders were comfortable defending, and Dainelli rushed to the ball to clear the ball with a header from Dinapoli, and the ball flew towards Toni, who was at the front.

Toni tried to stop the ball on his chest and hold the ball, but how could Messina's central defender give him this opportunity, Rezai couldn't bear Tony, so he dragged Tony to the ground, ready to take a free kick, but when Tony fell to the ground, he found that Chen Yu had been inserted at high speed from behind, and he immediately kicked the ball with his foot, and the ball flew to the side.

The referee's whistle had already been put in his mouth, but seeing that Chen Yu might get the ball, he didn't blow a foul, but blew an offensive advantage to let the game continue.

Chen Yu inserted it when Tony was competing for a header, and when he saw Tony fall to the ground, Chen Yu slowed down and was about to stop, but found that Tony actually kicked the ball out again, Chen Yu was overjoyed, and immediately accelerated again, and controlled the ball again when the ball was about to fly out of the sideline.
