Chapter 148: Champion Hour!
'Filipe Inzaghi has scored a total of thirteen league goals in Serie A this season, which is quite an achievement for a young striker at just 22 years old. Now Inzaghi is also a well-known star in Italy, and tonight's goal in the Cup Winners' Cup final is enough to make Inzaghi's fame rise to another level! ”
This is the impact of match attention on a player's fame, even if you play well in a normal game, you may not be very famous, but if you score a goal in a high-profile game, then your fame will rise exponentially - just like the 1990 Shijie Cup Schiraci, who was originally limited to Italy and shined in the Italian Shijie Cup, which is the focus of the world, directly making him a household name.
Although the Cup Winners' Cup final was not as attractive and well-known as the Shijie Cup, Inzaghi's popularity will still increase a lot after the game.
After scoring two goals against the opponent, the Fiorentina players' mentality became more relaxed, and at the same time, they expanded the score immediately after the start of the second half, which made them start to burst with confidence, making Fiorentina's pressing in the midfield more ferocious, and the implementation of the tactics arranged by Ranieri was more resolute!
Zaragoza, who has not yet fully conceded defeat, tried to regain the passive situation, but Fiorentina's strong midfield advantage made them unable to organize an effective attack through the midfield, if they gave up the short pass and turned it directly into a long pass attack, the short Esneid will definitely not be able to compete with Ferrara and Filicano in the header, and Fiorentina is quite well protected in the penalty area so that Zaragoza's two forwards cannot use the running position to get the opportunity to shoot, so Zaragoza can only choose to fight hard with Fiorentina in the midfield, Hopefully I can spell out a chance.
But twenty minutes later, the Fiorentina man completely crushed the Zaragoza players' hopes of winning the title with the third goal of the game.
Effenberg sent a subtle through ball in midfield, Djokaeff and Inzaghi drew the attention of the Zaragoza defenders, Batistuta burst into the box after receiving the ball, faced the Zaragoza goalkeeper in a hurry, and scored with a right-footed nudge into the far corner from 12 yards out, 3-0, Fiorentina extended their lead!
At this time, the players of Zaragoza have already begun to be anxious, three goals behind, how can this be played!
As a result, as soon as they were in a hurry, the intensity of the attack became more violent, and the opening of Zaragoza's backfield became even greater.
So, only eight minutes after the third goal, Zaragoza had another passing error in the midfield, the ball was cut off by Di Biagio halfway, Djokaeff received the ball and broke through, until he broke through to the edge of the penalty area before choosing a cross, and Effenberg, who was following the ball, took a long shot after receiving the ball, and broke through Sedron's ten fingers again, Fiorentina led 4-0!
"With four goals down, we see that the Zaragoza players have completely lost their fighting spirit and it is almost impossible to pose any more threat to Fiorentina! Congratulations Florence! They won this season's Cup Winners' Cup with a big win in the final! ”
With the big picture settled, Ranieri began to make substitutions, replacing three foreign players on the pitch one after another, leaving them alone to enjoy the cheers of the fans.
After Barty and others were replaced, they did not return to the locker room, but sat on the bench with the substitute players, waiting for the game to end.
After the substitution of three foreign players, Fiorentina's attack weakened a lot, but the Fiorentina fans sitting in the stands were not in a hurry now, and they began to spontaneously organize celebrations in the stands, either singing the Fiorentina team song or chanting the names of the Fiorentina players in unison.
The score of 4-0 completely crushed Zaragoza, and the Zaragoza players on the field completely gave up resistance. The Spanish team played the rest of the game almost in despair.
Referee Merck was also very knowledgeable, and after giving a symbolic minute of stoppage time, he blew the whistle for the end of the game before half a minute. And the next time belongs to Florence, this is a time of celebration for Florence!
At this time, the Fiorentina players on the bench could no longer contain their excitement and rushed to the pitch while their teammates on the pitch celebrated the trophy together.
Sitting in the stands, Pirlo Jr. looked at the big brothers of the first team celebrating wildly on the field, and his heart was full of envy, and he also hoped that he could enter the first team as soon as possible through hard work and strive for more honors for the team......
Zhuang Mingge in the box watched Inzaghi scurrying around on the field, hugging Effenberg for a while, and then going to celebrate with his good buddy Vieri; Batistuta joined Djokaeff, Ferrara and others to the stands where the Fiorentina fans gathered, applauding the fans and celebrating the title with their supporters.
On the other hand, Zaragoza's players were more miserable, sitting on the pitch with a dejected look on their faces, in stark contrast to the Fiorentina players in ecstasy. After all, Fiorentina's victory in this game came too easily, and Zaragoza was almost unable to fight back before they were taken, which could not be regarded as a heavy blow to Zaragoza's players.
Ranieri shook hands with the opposing manager, and at the urging of Dr. Carter, who came with the team, the Fiorentina players who were celebrating wildly on the field were all caught back in the dressing room one by one.
When the Fiorentina players reappeared on the pitch after showering and changing their equipment, a simple podium had been set up by the stadium staff, and on the podium stood UEFA President Johansson, who was this time presenting medals to the Zaragoza and Fiorentina players.
Batistuta, as the captain, took over the championship trophy from Chairman Johansson and lifted the trophy high in front of everyone's eyes!
At this moment, the Florentina is once again on the podium of the European champions!
