Chapter 1236: Busy December (Thursday)

PS1: When is the head, the days without the Internet?

PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

Although Fiorentina's goal was sent to Boca Juniors by Ronaldo after a four-man pass, in reality, the whole counterattack from Battaglia's pass was tackled by De Rossi to Ronaldo's goal, and the whole counterattack only took about twenty seconds.

That's why when Cristiano Ronaldo kicks in the box, there is no Boca Juniors defender on his side to interfere. Because at that time, they were still desperately playing a 100-meter sprint towards their own penalty area.

It can almost be said that the world's No. 1 speed of attack and defense, as well as the super high counter-attack efficiency, this is the most terrifying thing about Fiorentina, and it is also a headache for all opponents.

"I didn't expect Florence's counterattack to be so fast, I can't see it at all from the videotape." Seeing that the score was equalized by Fiorentina, Bianchi's heart at this time can be said to be extremely annoyed, "It seems that it is necessary to make the players more cautious in the coming time, and the defense can not be as lax as before!" ”

Worthy of being the number one coach in South American football, Bianchi was clearly aware of the changes that had taken place in Fiorentina through this counterattack alone. If in the first half, they could take advantage of Fiorentina's poor form to relax a little on the defensive end, then from now on, they must strengthen their defensive attention and guard against Fiorentina's front trident, so as not to be easily penetrated by the opponent with two or three quick passes!

If they fail to do that, it will only be a matter of time before Fiorentina overtake the scoreline.

So, after the restart, the Boca Juniors, who had received instructions from Bianchi, changed their previous style of play and began to shrink the defensive line, leaving only Tevez and Xheroto to roam in the front - they actually imitated Fiorentina's previous tactics and played a defensive counterattack in the game!

Clearly, Bianchi intends to lure Fiorentina players into pressing in this way, thereby emptying the opposition defence at the back and creating space for Tevez and Shelotto to play on the counter-attack.

As for whether Fiorentina will fall for this, Bianchi doesn't think it's a problem. After all, Fiorentina are now back in form, but their physical disadvantage is too real to return to peak level in just 15 minutes of half-time. Therefore, the longer the game drags on, the better it will be for Boca Juniors, and if Fiorentina still wants to win this game, they must take advantage of the time when they can still hold on to the score as soon as possible.

Although Bianchi clanged the abacus, he clearly underestimated Heynckes' lower bounds. As soon as the Germans saw that the opponent actually took the initiative to retreat, they directly waved their hands and signaled the players on the field to continue to implement the previous tactics!

Seeing Heynckes' gesture, Pirlo was Spartan at that time, and said in his heart, Coach, you are too shameless, and you actually took advantage of the opponent's fear of counterattacking to retain the physical strength of our players.

Despite his bitter guilt, Pirlo also liked the strategy of defusing the opponent's tricks without paying any price. As a result, this Toyota Cup final went from a half-court offensive and defensive drill between the two teams to an extremely boring defensive battle in the blink of an eye.

In the time that followed, both teams invested very little in attack and relied on the individual abilities of their stars to create a threat. By the time Bianchi realised that something was wrong, the game had already been dragged into injury time by Fiorentina.

However, just when everyone thought that the game would be in extra-time, or even a penalty shootout, the situation on the field changed again!

In the last minute of second-half stoppage time, Cristiano Ronaldo's cross was blocked by Burdisso's outstretched foot, and Fiorentina was awarded a corner. It was also Fiorentina's last chance of 90 minutes of regulation time due to the timing and if they couldn't find the back of the net from this corner, the game would go to extra time!

For this corner, Boca Juniors' players can be said to be like a big enemy, and they have been close to their respective defensive targets, strictly preventing them from using cover and tactics to run out of space in this attack, and then get an easy chance to score.

After all, in this age of information explosion, almost everyone who cares about football has heard of Manchester United's miraculous comeback in the 98-99 Champions League final, let alone the professional players who deal with football every day. That's why these Boca Juniors players are very nervous at this time, and they don't want to be a backdrop for goals like Bayern Munich.

While the probability of scoring in the last attack is very low, and it is even rarer to score two goals in the final three minutes of the game like Manchester United did, no one would dare to bet that such a goal would not happen to them. After all, if that kind of goal happens, they won't even have the slightest chance to counter-attack.

Carefully placing the ball in the corner, Pirlo first glanced at his team-mate's position, then made a short run and kicked the ball into the Boca Juniors penalty area!

The ball spun and flew towards the goalkeeper, where Diego Milito was, and Burdisso kept squeezing and disrupting on the sidelines, trying to get ahead of Milito and clear the ball, so that the few tens of seconds left were exhausted and the game went to extra-time.

It has to be said that Burdisso's defense is still very effective. Milito's header didn't hit the back of the net with his interference, and the ball didn't go in the direction of goal. Seeing the ball fly straight to the sideline of the stadium, the players of Boca Juniors also loosened the string that had been tense in their hearts, saying that it seemed that the game would have to wait until the end of extra time to decide the winner......

However, Boca Juniors, who have not played many games against European teams, will not know that Fiorentina is now on the field, but there is an existence that is even more terrifying than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has the name of "super sub".

"Inzaghi! It was Philippe Inzaghi who scored the goal! Lore! He came on as a substitute and scored a crucial goal in the last minute of the game to beat Boca Juniors! The narrator shouted excitedly into the microphone in front of him. After all, a last-minute goal like this is so exciting.

Seeing the referee signaling that the goal was valid, and at the same time the whistle announcing the end of the game was heard in their ears, the Boca Juniors players who had suffered such a heavy blow at the last moment sat down on the ground, and many even cried. It's no wonder that for them, being killed by their opponents at the last minute was too devastating.

In this way, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, Fiorentina overcame all the disadvantages and defeated Boca Juniors at the Yokohama International Arena to claim their last trophy of 2003!
