Volume 1 Chapter 133 Kill the Leader
Palermo could settle for a draw but not a defeat.
After Chen Yu's goal, Palermo's head coach Guidolin immediately made a second substitution to strengthen the attack.
Mondonico reacted quickly this time, and he immediately made a second substitution, replacing Goofy, replacing Grafiedi, playing a front three, and fighting Palermo to attack
When Goofy came off the court, Mondonico shook his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Good game." ”
"I'll keep trying."
Goofy was satisfied to start for 70 minutes, not to mention that the team was still ahead rather than behind, shaking hands with every teammate with a smile on his face, and then sitting down to watch the game.
After Goofy went off, Fiorentina did not relax its marking of Toni, Manfredini Jr. and Drica Li stared at him together, Sehavi stared at Manoni who came on the bench, and Di Livio defended Collini, this defense is not much inferior to Goofy on the field, and the defense has lost some, and Grafiedi has stepped on the field, but the attack has also strengthened a lot.
After the substitutions, Palermo gave Fiorentina a dismount, and this time Toni showed his work.
Corini dribbled the ball past Di Livio and passed straight to Tony, Manfredini Jr. suddenly grabbed the ball and did not touch the ball, and was pulled and shook by Tony's long legs, and Dericari did not lose his position, so he stuck to Tony and did not let him turn around.
However, as a high school striker, Toney has a strong ability to shoot with the ball with his back, and he leaned on Derrickari's back to exert force, slightly opened a little gap, and immediately turned and volleyed.
Toney didn't look at the goal when he shot, in fact, many strikers don't look at the goal, or don't have time to look, they just shoot by feeling, but they have made tens of thousands or more shots on the pitch, and this feeling is generally not wrong. The ball just flew to the left side of the goal.
Fiorentina goalkeeper Sejavi was so focused that he leapt to his feet and slapped the ball off the line with one palm.
Shoot well! Flutter better!
There was a round of applause in the stands, such an attack and defense, even if there are no goals, it is very exciting.
In the corner, Toni, Rigano and other high points did not fight for the ball, substitute Palermo striker Manoni instead grabbed the opportunity at the back post, he pressed Maggio to head the goal, but was stood in front of the post Savini pushed out.
Fiorentina's substitution was to rush to attack, not wanting to lose the momentum and was shot twice in a row by Palermo, Fiorentina's players were unhappy, and the three lines worked at the same time to attack Palermo's half.
Seeing Tony's header, Rigano was not to be outdone, and he frequently asked for the ball in the penalty area to try his header with Tony.
After Fiorentina got on Grafiedi, Chen Yu became a winger, he and Savini, Maggio formed the sharpest attacking combination of Fiorentina on the left side, all three of them were very fast, and they were all able to dribble, Palermo's right side was directly penetrated, and a player from the middle of the defense could not block Fiorentina's breakthrough cross on their right side.
In the 75th minute of the game, Chen Yu and Savini and Maggio played a triangle on the side, Chen Yu passed directly behind the defender, Maggio inserted a cross on the bottom line, and Rigano stood out in the middle and jumped high to hit a header on the crossbar.
"Alas!"
There was a sigh of regret at the Frankie Stadium, and they were about to make a clapping motion, but the goalpost denied the header.
But Fiorentina's attack on the left was not over.
A minute later, Chen Yu flashed left and right, suddenly flashed into the penalty area, and cleverly fired into the far corner from 16 meters on the right side of the penalty area.
The ball bypassed the defender and went straight to the dead corner of the left back of the goal, in the case of blocked sight, in the situation of unfavorable position, Palermo goalkeeper Algieri came first, he flew up and completed a difficult side save with incredible speed, and saved Chen Yu's must-have goal from the bottom line.
Tony then came over and touched Algieri's head and thanked him.
Di Livio drove the corner, Toney's header cleared, the ball flew to the midfield, and the midfielder Manfredini Jr. took the ball to 27 meters and shot angrily, the ball was fast and powerful, but the goalkeeper Algieri was in a good position and punched the ball out.
The ball returned to Fiorentina's left side again, and after a series of one-two combinations between Chen Yu and Savini, the former swept the ball to the bottom line and swept into the penalty area.
The ball was so fast that after reaching the goal, no one in Palermo dared to touch it, for fear of scoring an own goal, Fiorentina's point-grabbing players and back-row players did not touch it, and the ball flew out of the sideline.
Palermo is the leader after all, the strength is there, and Fiorentina does not have the ability to suppress them for a long time.
80th minute of the game. Palermo's quick counter-attack found Fiorentina on the flank, and Manoni's cross was sent into the back corner of the six-yard box, where Toney leaped high to head home from two centre-backs.
The hearts of the Fiorentina fans in the stands were in their throats, and the Palermo fans began to cheer.
It looked like the ball was going to go in, but Sejavi made a miraculous save and reflexively slapped the ball out with one hand the moment it flew into the goal.
After saving the ball, goalkeeper Sehavi was surprised, he couldn't believe that he had saved the ball.
Sejavi's goal boosted the morale of his team-mates and gave him his own form, and three minutes later, the Fiorentina defender made a mistake in the pass and the high ball was intercepted by Toney, creating a one-on-one chance.
With 83 minutes on, it was one of Palermo's best chances, with all eyes on former Roma substitute goalkeeper Argentine Earthquake Sejavi.
Sehavi was not at all afraid in the face of Toney, he bravely rushed forward and went straight to Toney's feet, Tony was too tall and slow, and his shot was pressed to his feet.
Two dangerous shots from Palermo in quick succession gave Fiorentina a sense of crisis, feeling their one-goal lead was too small and could be levelled at any moment, and they had to score again for the sake of the three points for the victory.
In the 85th minute of the game, the consciousness of Collini, who was bound to Chen Yu, disappeared, and Chen Yu became a full-time striker, operating within the 30-meter area of Palermo's front.
Not organising in midfield makes his threat to the goal more immediate.
In the 86th minute, after Savini made a sharp breakthrough on the left side, he cut into the penalty area, and could not find a chance to shoot under the blocking of the opponent's defender, so he passed the ball back to the top of the arc of the penalty area, Chen Yu took the ball and attacked the penalty area at high speed, attracting all the defenders, Chen Yu did not shoot, but alertly passed the ball from the gap to Rigano in the vacant position, and Rigano hit the ball into the net at a small angle. But at this time, the linesman raised the flag to signal that Rigano was offside.
There was a curse in the stands, the more it was in the last stage, the more nervous the fans became, if the goal was counted, Fiorentina would have sealed the win, but the linesman blew this millimeter offside, which made the Fiorentina fans very unhappy.
"Get one! One more and we'll win! ”
The narrator shouted, completely devoid of neutrality, and at this time, he also became nervous.
Fiorentina's players have maintained a high level of fighting spirit and high concentration, which has given them an advantage in the final battle.
In the 88th minute, Savini, who played well in this game, completely broke down the right side of Palermo, and after the left-back who was played by him many times went down, the substitute left-back was even worse, and his reckless scramble was swept away by Savini.
Savini shook off the defender's low cross for Rigano's high post.
Savini's ability to break through on the flanks was strong, but the ability to cross was average, the ball was a bit high, and Rigano couldn't jump enough under the two central defenders, he just barely managed to push the ball towards the goal.
It was too close for the Baylemo goalkeeper to react.
But once again, the beam became the savior of the Palermo people, and the ball slammed into it and bounced off.
Chen Yu was standing in the arc of the penalty area behind Ricano, the ball was flying towards him, Chen Yu immediately jumped up and stopped the ball on his chest, and when he fell, he picked the ball with his left foot and toe, just picked up the defender who pounced, and landed with his left foot, Chen Yu volleyed directly with his right foot, and the ball flew to the goal again like lightning.
The Palermo goalkeeper, who had played well before, was blocked from sight this time, and the direction of movement was also blocked by his own defenders, and he could only watch as the ball flew into the net
In the 88th minute, Chen Yu scored twice to seal the win.
...'CHENGOALCHENGOAL - 29th GOAL! Chen's 29th goal and 29th goal of 132 games! Fiorentina seal the win! Three points in hand, the first successful top six! Serie A! We're coming! Florence fans! Rejoice! For Fiorentina, for Chan, for football! It was a beautiful goal! It's a work of art! Come! Let's rejoice...... 1——… 2-3-… Old...... Banzai...... Old...... Banzai...... Chen ......"
The frightened Fiorentina fans in the stands were now completely relaxed, chanting and celebrating the victory, and the entire Frankie Stadium was transformed into a sea of joy.
Fiorentina's bench and coach's bench are also empty at the moment, they all rushed to the sidelines to hug and celebrate with the players, especially the head coach Mondonico, at this time, he put his heart in his stomach, saw the referee stretched out three fingers to the fourth official on the sidelines, he knew that there were three minutes of stoppage time, and there were three minutes left, leading by two goals, and there would be no surprises in the result, Mondonico signaled for a substitution, Leon came on the field, replaced Chen Yu, and let Chen Yu, who scored two goals and one assist in this game, accept the cheers of the fans.
“chenchenchen——…”
Watching Chen Yu walk off the field, a tsunami-like shout sounded again in the stands
Chen Yu applauded and thanked as he walked slowly towards the field.
Mondonico went over and gave Chen Yu a bear hug, and then personally put on a coat for Chen Yu, "Tired, take a good rest." ”
"It's fine. Not tired. Chen Yu returned to the coach's seat and shook hands with his teammates, slandering the head coach Mondonico in his heart, he still wanted to continue to play and score another one, but the head coach actually replaced him, which is really incomprehensible.
In the end, Fiorentina held on to the score 3-1. Toney and Palermo didn't score again, Fiorentina won three in a row to finish sixth for the first time, and if they maintain that position at the end of the season, they can participate in the promotion play-offs, and if they can go one step further, they can go straight to Serie A, in short, this game is a breakthrough victory and they are one step closer to the coveted Serie A.
