Volume 1 Chapter 499 Expand the score
Prandelli was very adaptable, Jorgensen came on and suppressed the accident, and Villarreal inserted players in the back row and with Jorgensen taking care of them, it was difficult to get the chance to shoot like before. The two sides are back to the old way of battling each other in midfield.
The stalemate is very beneficial for Fiorentina because the time is on their side, and when the game is over, they will win 0, which is not a big score, but if Villarreal does not score away goals, Villarreal will be miserable to return to Spain.
As a disadvantage, Villarreal of course can't be a frog in warm water, there is not much room for change in tactics, everyone is mutual restraint, Pellegrini made another substitution adjustment, with midfield all-rounder Solin to replace Josicco, strengthen the attack and fighting ability on the left side, and replace Tacinadi with striker Figueroa, continue to strengthen the attack in the front.
With two attacking players in one go, Pellegrini's determination to equalise was already evident.
Prandelli couldn't help but walk from the coach's bench to the sidelines, closely following the development of the game, and asked Di Natale, Montolivo and others to run and warm up, ready to play at any time.
Villarreal had two fresh players on the pitch, and they were ordered by the manager to attack with all their might, and they were in high spirits for a while, and immediately launched a tidal wave of attacks on Fiorentina.
In the first minute, Villarreal's Kigo South American players played a wonderful combination, Riquelme went straight to the left side of the penalty area, Forlan received a cross from the left side of the penalty area, Sorin flicked his heel, and the defender Arua Barena inserted in the middle of the box entered the penalty area at high speed, and pushed a left-footed half-volley from 8 meters in front of the goal, but the quick reaction of Toldo pounced to the left to seal the ball out of the bottom line.
Three minutes later, Villarreal had their best chance on goal since the start of the second half.
Fiorentina got the opportunity to counterattack and counterattacked, but Villarreal's return speed was fast, did not give Fiorentina a chance to sneak attack, Senna broke the ball at the front of the penalty area and handed it to Riquelme, Riquelme immediately counterattacked with a long pass, hitting the joint eye of Fiorentina's offensive and defensive conversion, Jose Mari's header was ferried, and Forlan was successful in the offside position.
In the face of the attacking Toldo, Forlan flicked the ball past Toldo, but when he hit the empty net from a tight angle, Forlan's push went wide of the post.
Forlan, who missed a good chance to score, stood on the side of the penalty area and looked up to the sky and sighed, wondering when he would have such a good opportunity to face the goalkeeper.
Fiorentina were playing at home, and after the score was leading, the morale of the fans and players was high, and no one could accept being pressed by a small team like Villarreal in a row.
In the 71st minute of the game, Fiorentina launched a fierce attack, Gonzalo put down Tony at the front of the penalty area, was warned by Merck with a yellow card, and Chen Yu took a free kick on the left side.
Chen Yu unleashed a high-quality banana ball, the ball drew a strange arc around the wall, goalkeeper Vieira saved, but the ball still hit the post and bounced back into the box.
Toni was quick to get his foot out and the ball flew towards goal, but Villarreal defender Gonzalo arrived just in time to clear the ball out of the box with a barbed and Brockie fired a right-footed shot over the crossbar from yards.
However, just now, when Tony stretched out his foot to block, it seemed to have crossed the goal line, and Fiorentina fans shouted "The ball is in, the ball is in" to put pressure on the referee Merck, and the players also raised their hands to indicate that the ball had been scored, but Merck ignored it.
“…… It seems that the ball crossed the goal line but the referee seems to think that it has not been, maybe this is another goal-line doubt, but I have to explain that this goal must be crossed by the ball as a whole over the goal line, otherwise it is not a goal...... Well, the slow motion came out, and from the slow motion, when Gonzalo cleared, the ball happened to be on the goal line, and it didn't cross the goal line as a whole, so it can't be counted, Merck's penalty was correct......"
Originally, Prandelli was also angry, because if this goal was scored, Fiorentina would basically advance, but after seeing the slow motion, Prandelli was silent again.
However, Pellegrini, who was silent just now, was excited at this time, Tony's kick made his heart beat, although the ball was not scored, but it was lucky, a little worse I am afraid that it will be 0 now, and the difference between the two goals, if you can't get an away goal, the submarine can only be eliminated obediently.
"Attack, go up, defenders, don't come back"
The Chilean engineer shook his fist and yelled, obviously very dissatisfied with the situation, and after nearly 70 minutes of the game, Villarreal still did not score, and it would be even more unfavorable for Villarreal if the time dragged on.
Villarreal has to work hard, under normal circumstances, the leading side will be conservative, strengthen the defense, try to maintain the status quo, steal one if you can, steal one, it's nothing, the Italian coach has always been conservative, everyone thought that Prandelli would also strengthen the defense, but I didn't expect Prandelli to be not to strengthen the defense, but to strengthen the attack, he replaced Fiore, replaced Di Natale, and played three forwards.
Seeing Prandelli's substitution, the commentator on the scene was surprised: "The young coach Prandelli is really worthy of being the most aggressive coach in Italy, and it takes a lot of courage to change strikers at this time, but now Villarreal has adopted a combination of side and middle play in order to create opportunities for Riquelme, and the fullback assists a lot, if Fiorentina plays three forwards, maybe they will be able to get better scoring opportunities." ”
Pellegrini has always looked down on the conservatism of Serie A, and seeing Prandelli so bold, he sneered and said in his heart: "Since you are willing to attack, let's see who has more attacking power." ”
In the 75th minute of the game, Villarreal and Fiorentina both stepped up their attacks, one wanted to equalize, the other wanted to expand the score, and the two sides played the most intense wave of climax since the start of the game.
Chen Yu was previously active by Tony's side and behind, the front was restricted by Tony, and there were many Villarreal defenders behind and around, Chen Yu's speed was difficult to play, after coming to the side, Chen Yu's speed was fully exerted, and the submarine fullback Venta, who had been assisting on the side, immediately wilted, not to mention that the assist defense could not be held, and the back Senna was also needed to come to help.
Senna was originally with Chen Yu, but now that Chen Yu has gone to the side, he can't run with the winger with a back, so he can only adopt the tactics of zone defense against Chen Yu, this tactic is what Chen Yu likes, because of his speed, when he launches a thunderous attack, it is also very difficult for the opponent to form a pinch defense in the area.
In the RU minute of the game, Chen Yu assaulted Solin at high speed on the side, Solin first collided, and then reached out and pulled after not touching anyone, but he was still unable to hold Chen Yu, and could only watch Chen Yu roar away with the ball.
Venta was not able to step forward in time when Solin went to intercept Chen Yu, and as a result, after Chen Yu threw off Sorin, he could only be forced to face Chen Yu's attack alone.
No one is optimistic that Venta will be able to defend against Chen Yu, and even not pessimistic that Venta can foul and exchange for a free kick is a good performance.
Venta didn't let the miracle happen, in the face of Chen Yu's thunderous breakthrough, Venta was in a hurry to shovel a flying shovel, and then Chen Yu easily dribbled the ball to the bottom line.
Fiorentina has a center forward like Toney in the middle, and Villarreal's defenders have focused on the air defense in the middle when they saw Chen Yu complete the breakthrough on the wing.
But Chen Yu saw that Villarreal was waiting, but he did not cross, but cut to the penalty area along the bottom line.
This time, Villarreal's defenders panicked, and Gonzalo immediately made up for the defense from the middle to the side to prevent Chen Yu from cutting inside the goal.
Chen Yu's position is near the bottom line, and it is very difficult to shoot, but there is only one Tony point in the cross, and the probability of scoring is not very high, so Chen Yu took a few steps inward and waited for the player inserted in the middle
Playing at home, Fiorentina's players have a strong desire to attack, they did not become conservative because of the score lead, after Chen Yu broke through, almost all the players in the middle were inserted, and Villarreal had three more players in and out of the penalty area.
Chen Yu saw that his teammates had been plugged in, and there were a lot of points that could be passed, and although Villarreal's players also came back a lot, they came back too quickly, and not every Fiorentina player who was inserted had players to mark, Chen Yu saw that Brocky was unmarked, and Brockie's long-range shooting ability was very strong, Chen Yu immediately passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area to find Brockie.
Brocky met the ball and shot it, and the ball flew straight into the bottom right corner of the goal like a cannonball.
Villarreal goalkeeper Vieira has been drawn to the left side of the goal, but when Chen Yu returned the pass, he moved quickly to the middle of the goal, and when Brockie shot, Vieira flew and actually saved the ball at the moment when it was about to cross the goal line.
Vieira's save was a miracle, and Brockie raised his arms to celebrate, but he didn't expect the ball to be saved by Vieira.
The narrator at the scene opened his mouth wide in surprise, "...... It's a miracle that God Vieira actually saved Brockie's shot, is Vieira possessed by God today......"
"Ah" The Fiorentina fans in the stands couldn't help but let out an exclamation, such shots were saved, Vieira was in really good form today.
The Villarreal fans, on the other hand, cheered loudly and shouted the name "Vieira".
However, before the screams of the commentators and fans could land, Toni started with all his might and fired a downed tackle into the empty net.
0 Toney helped Fiorentina extend the lead and also pushed Villarreal to the brink.
