Fiorentina's counterattack was very sudden, and the Juventus players were still slowly moving forward, but they didn't expect the opponent's counterattack to come to them in a blink of an eye.
Vieri pressed Blank behind him with his strength, headed it up, and took Effenberg's long pass. However, with his back to the Juventus goal, he did not try to force a turn under Blanc's close defence, because Vieri was still receiving the ball almost 35 metres away from the Juventus goal, and his speed was not very fast. With the defensive enthusiasm of the Juventus players, when Vieri turned around with the ball, it is estimated that the opposite side has already returned to the defense......
As a result, Vieri played the ball behind Montero with his left foot under Blank's defence, as he saw that his strike partner was on the side of the Uruguayan.
Ronaldo's explosiveness was so strong that almost as soon as Vieri passed the ball, the alien took steps and began to sprint in the direction of the ball's rolling.
When it comes to speed and technology, Montero is naturally inferior to aliens; But as the first gate in the Juventus backline, Montero knows what he should do now.
The Uruguayan then decisively sent Ronaldo to the ground before he could break through, stopping the Fiorentina from counter-attacking quickly and buying enough time for his team-mates to return to the ground.
Of course, Montero paid the price for a yellow card, while also gifting Fiorentina a free-kick from 30 yards out.
The likes of Didier Deschamps and Blank tapped Montero on the shoulder and thanked him, and while the Uruguayan centre-back has always had a problem with over-carding, the Juventus players are aware of the important role the centre-back plays in the team's defensive system.
Due to the location of the free-kick and the distance between the Juventus goal, Robert Carlos, who is known for his powerful free-kicks, was finally given the right to take the free-kick.
After a long run, Carlos's left outside instep slammed into the ball, and the ball flew straight to the corner flag on the right side of the pitch like a cannonball!
Peruzzi, who had been nervously guarding in front of the goal, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, relaxed his body that had been tense, and planned to ask the caddie behind him for a new ball to prepare for a goal kick.
In everyone's opinion, Carlos's free-kick was undoubtedly off target, and it was quite outrageous, with the free-kick from the left side of the pitch going straight to the right corner......
However, at this moment, a big surprise happened!
I saw that the ball that was originally flying in the direction of the corner flag changed violently after flying two-thirds of the way, and the ball that flew halfway suddenly made a big turn, and then flew towards the goal of Juventus!
Peruzzi, who was about to kick off the goal, was dumbfounded, although he knew that Carlos had scored an incredible free kick at this year's Four Nations Invitational Tournament, but after all, he had seen it on the tape and had not experienced it himself, so he did not have a deep experience.
This time, Peruzzi has experienced it firsthand! It's just that as a defender, he doesn't feel very good about it......
Although Peruzzi did not stand on the goal line and stupidly watch the ball fly into the goal, as Butters did, he made a save with his hands and feet in the direction the ball was flying. But by surprise, Peruzzi's move to make up for the loss did not have the slightest effect. The high-speed ball flew headlong into the gate that Peruzzi was guarding before he arrived!
Less than five minutes into the game, Fiorentina, who were playing away, took the lead in scoring, 1-0!
Thousands of Fiorentina fans cheered and celebrated in the stands of the Stadio Alp, who were excited to build up their lead so early and break through the goal of Juventus, which they had never wanted to see!
Meanwhile, Robert Carlos, who opened the scoring for the team, was surrounded by other Fiorentina players to celebrate the goal!
The Juventus players were very depressed by Carlos's incredible goal, they did not expect that after stopping Fiorentina's counter-attack, their side would still concede the goal, and it was still like this
Blanc, Didier Deschamps and Zinedine Zidane were even more frustrated, having witnessed Carlos' incredible free-kick at the Stade Gerland a few months earlier, but they did not expect to see the miracle replicated again at the Alps tonight.
Juventus' players were a little demoralized because of the unexpected goal conceded; Fiorentina did the opposite, and this brilliant goal gave their already high morale a big boost!
After the restart, the Juventus players, who had fallen behind, had no choice but to take the initiative to attack Fiorentina.
With Zidane and Deschamps in the line-up, Juventus's attack was quite organized, slowly moving forward step by step, and there was no swarm of players rushing across the half to participate in the attack.
However, although Juventus's side can still ensure the stability of the team under the control of the two core players, they can only go so far - the Juventus players who have not recovered from the goal loss just now are in a somewhat sluggish state of mind, and they do not have too strong desire to attack for the time being.
Therefore, although in attack, the Bianconeri's attack did not pose much threat to Fiorentina's goal, and both Pierrot and Otero were in abnormal form, with shots either directly out of range or directly confiscated by Toldo because the power was too small or the angle was too high.
Compared with the sluggishness of the home team, Fiorentina who played away from home had a better appearance during this period, and the counterattack was impressive, if it weren't for the iron triangle of Montero, Blanc and Deschamps who were focused enough and lucky, the Bianconeri would have been scored by Fiorentina again!
Lippi walked anxiously around the sidelines, and after three years in charge of the Bianconeri, he has only brought home two UEFA Cup titles and a Champions League semi-final, but the Silver Foxes have never been able to lead the team to a breakthrough in the league, which is the club's most important league. This made some people in the Juventus club management begin to express doubts about Lippi's coaching ability, believing that the team should change to a better manager to lead the team to exchange luck, and the Bianconeri's league title drought cannot be allowed to continue like this!
Therefore, when Lippi, who has been under pressure these days, saw Pierrot once again shoot from the top of the Fiorentina penalty area, but because of the excessive force, he directly hit an anti-aircraft gun, and the silver fox finally couldn't hold it back, regardless of the elegant image he had always maintained, and scolded his players on the sidelines!
