After receiving Victor's horizontal pass, under the pressure of Redondo, Seedorf had to use his body and foot skills to protect the ball, while taking the time to observe the shape around him.

Ahead of Seedorf, Morientes and Yugoslav Mijatovic roamed the box, with the experienced Nesta and Ferrara not being distracted by their movements, but guarding each other's defensive areas.

Therefore, Seedorf did not choose to pass through to Mijatovic or Morientes in front, but distributed the ball to Raul, who cut in from the left!

Real Madrid's golden boy planned to rush into the Fiorentina penalty area after receiving the ball, but he was unexpectedly picked up by Tomasi, and the ball was directly snatched away by the Italian midfielder!

Fiorentina, start fighting back!

After seeing Tomasi intercept the ball, Redondo threw away Seedorf, who was in charge of marking his defense, and ran forward as soon as possible, leaving the Dutchman far aside in a few steps, and then received the ball from Tomasi!

Since Raul, Victor and Seedorf were all behind Redondo, when he began to stride forward with the ball, there was not a single Real Madrid player who came to defend!

Zieg and Panucci, who had pressed the assist before, were desperately running back at this time, and they didn't have the energy to take care of Redondo in a hurry to get back to the defense; Seedorf has always been criticized for his speed, and it is unrealistic to expect him to catch up with Redondo; Raul and Victor were chasing after the Argentine, but they were still some distance away from Redondo due to their previous position; Karemb could go up and press, but if he did, he would have to loosen up his defence against Effenberg.

You know, now Hierro and Sanchis are staring at Barty and Ronaldo respectively! If you don't care about the Germans, once Redondo passes, then Fiorentina can form a three-on-two in the front!

Therefore, Karemb also did not choose to defend Redondo in the past. These reasons work together, and the scene that just happened occurs.

Redondo was not sprinting and was constantly observing the situation around him, and he realized that if he wasted precious time with the ball like this, Fiorentina would probably lose the opportunity to counter-attack.

So, realizing that time was pressing, Redondo did not choose to continue after advancing more than 20 meters with the ball, but directly picked up his left foot and kicked a ball over the top! The Argentine's thinking is clear: since you have done such a good frontal defense, it is good to hit you directly behind and see if it is you or Ronaldo on our side who runs faster!

When Hierro and Sanchis noticed Redondo's pass, they knew it was bad, because the Argentine controlled the trajectory of the ball very well when passing, and at the same time made Hierro and Sanchis realize that they could not clear the ball directly with their headers, and at the same time controlled the ball in the empty space between the two central defenders and the Real Madrid penalty area!

This landing point is very difficult for Real Madrid to defend, Hierro and Sanchis will not say much, the slow turning speed is quite deadly at this juncture; Goalkeeper Ilgner did not dare to run out of the penalty area to intercept, in that case, if an unexpected situation happened and the ball was snatched by the Fiorentina players, the goal behind him would be empty.

As a result, Sanchis, who noticed that the Real Madrid captain was not in good shape, immediately made a decision, stretched out his left hand to the side, and planned to directly put Ronaldo to the ground at the cost of a tactical foul or even a yellow card.

Anyway, first block this counterattack from Fiorentina, even if I get a yellow card, I will admit it! Sanchis thought to himself, but ......

"Huh? What about people? However, what Sanchis didn't expect was that his outstretched hand didn't catch the alien who was still dangling around him not long ago, but only a cloud of air!

After several seasons of training in Italian football, even the most stupid striker can become cunning, let alone a talented striker like Ronaldo. The aliens didn't give Sanchez a chance to foul at all, and from the accounts of Batistuta and Vieri, he learned how the Argentine god of war was abolished by the other side at once.

When seeing Redondo moving forward with the ball, the alien who had learned the lesson had been quietly distancing himself from Sanchis, and when Redondo passed the ball, Ronaldo, who had already pulled away from the opponent, immediately started to accelerate and left Sanchis behind!

What happened next can be imagined, Ronaldo, who formed a single knife momentum, scored three times and divided five by two to get Ilgner, and then sent the ball into the door of Real Madrid, 1-0!

Just five minutes into the game, Fiorentina played a nice quick counter-attack and Ronaldo scored the ball!

After scoring the first goal and taking the lead in the score, Fiorentina's defensive counterattack made it more and more handy, and the quick counterattack again and again made all the Real Madrid fans who watched the game fearful; The Real Madrid players who played away became more and more impatient, especially when they heard that Liverpool had already trailed Bayer Leverkusen by two goals at Anfield Stadium 30 minutes earlier.

Well, who let Real Madrid only lead Bayer Leverkusen by two points before this game starts?

As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Not only did the anxious feelings of the Real Madrid players not help to solve the predicament they are now facing, but because of this emotion, the back line of the Whites was completely beaten into a sieve by Fiorentina, who had the advantage of being at home.

In the twenty-sixth minute of the first half, Effenberg passed the ball forward to Barty, who relied on his strong body to control the ball under the joint attack of Hierro and Sanches, and then distributed the ball to the unmarked Ronaldo under the two of them!

Of course, the aliens will not waste this scoring opportunity created by their captain in vain, a sprint, a pass and a deft push to rewrite the score on the field to 2-0!

Ten minutes later, Fiorentina made a comeback, Ronaldo's dribbling on the right side of the box attracted the attention of Real Madrid defenders and then passed back into the middle of the box, and Batistuta, who followed up in the middle, picked up a powerful left-footed volley!

Florence! Three to zero!

What everyone didn't expect was that with nearly ten minutes left to end in the first half, Fiorentina, who was playing at home, had already led Real Madrid by three goals!
