Fiorentina had their first chance to attack, and they scored, which dealt a heavy blow to Milan, who missed a penalty.

The contest between strong teams, the gap between hard power is not large, the main thing is the contest of soft power such as morale, confidence, tactics, and unity, and in the previous contest, Milan did not have the upper hand, as for the goal conceded, it was more of luck, if it wasn't for the rebound that happened to fall in front of Chen Yu, the score was still 00

Falling behind by one goal is not an irreparable gap, especially for a team like AC Milan, but morale and confidence are not something that can be boosted overnight.

After the game started again, AC Milan attacked more fiercely.

In the 30th minute, Pirlo sent a scalpel-like through ball, Kaka flicked his foot in the crowd, passed into the right side of the penalty area, Crespo shook off all the defenders to arrive, and picked up Lupatelli who knocked down the save from 9 meters from the goal on the left side, but was cleared by two defenders who fell to the ground in front of the goal.

In the 33rd minute, Kaka got a pass from Seedorf on the right rib, he quickly turned and shook off De Ricari, and dribbled the ball to a powerful right-footed volley from the edge of the penalty area, the ball was fast and urgent, but it was blocked by the excellent goalkeeper Lupatelli with both fists.

When Kaka shoots, Crespo runs over to make up for it, but the ball is hit a bit high by Lupatelli, Crespo jumps up and doesn't touch the ball.

In the 36th minute, Kaka, who is in excellent form today, broke through the ball on the left rib and passed to Shevchenko, Sheva handed it back to Kaka, Kaka burst into the left side of the penalty area with the outside of his right foot and crossed low to the middle, Shevchenko fell to the ground and stabbed at the U-meter in front of the goal, but under the disturbance of the defender, the shot was weak and weak, and the ball was obtained by goalkeeper Lupatelli.

Then AC Milan's attack was wave after wave, with crosses from the wings, breakthroughs in the middle, long shots, free kicks, almost all kinds of offensive weapons were used, but due to the rush to equalize, neither Shevchenko, Crespo, nor Kaka and Seedorf in the midfield could take advantage of the opportunity.

Fiorentina's morale and confidence have been greatly improved after the goal, the same defensive line-up, their counter-attacking efficiency is much higher than before the goal, and when AC Milan continue to launch onslaught, they did not fight back like in the opening 20 minutes.

In the 35th minute, Danish forward Jorgensen broke through from the side after getting the ball, and passed the ball to the middle to find Chen Yu, Chen Yu could not break through under the marking of the two defenders, but Chen Yu's physical strength was very good, after converting into Milito's consciousness, his ability to hold the ball with his back was very good, Nesta stuck behind him, and he was not able to break the ball, when Maldini stepped forward, Maresca also caught up, Chen Yu passed the ball back, Maresca volleyed with his right foot on the right side of the field from the goal, and the quality of this shot was very high, the ball hit the side netting

The shaking of the net startled the AC Milan fans, who thought the ball had gone in, and they were all shocked to see that the Fiorentina players did not celebrate, and the referee did not blow the whistle to realize that it was a false alarm.

The first half was at its worst in the blink of an eye, and AC Milan had not yet equalised, which made them even more anxious, and at this moment even Maldini and Nesta were pressed near the center circle, and they attacked with all their might, trying to equalize the score in the last moment.

At this time, the three lines of Florence were flattened, and there were people inside and outside the penalty area, and only Chen Yu wandered outside the penalty area alone.

At this moment, AC Milan also had no way to organise the attack, and there was no space to organise the attack, they just hoisted the ball into the penalty area and let their strikers Shevchenko and Crespo compete for the header.

Shevchenko and Crespo are not good at headers, but the effort of the header is definitely not bad, after the ball is hoisted into the penalty area, they also grabbed the landing point several times, but Fiorentina's defense did a good job today, Shevchenko and Crespo's headers were completed under the disturbance of the Fiorentina players, and did not pose much threat to the goal.

With just two minutes of stoppage time, it was still AC Milan who had the ball, but their attack still failed to score a goal, and with Fiorentina's stubborn defence, AC Milan had to accept the result of falling behind at half-time.

The referee Paparesta's whistle blew, and the Fiorentina players breathed a sigh of relief, they were almost haggard in the last ten minutes, and each time they felt that they might not be able to support it anymore, but they all gritted their teeth and persevered, and finally retained the 0 advantage.

The Fiorentina fans in the stands cheered their players back to the dressing room with applause, and the 0l score was hardly enough to guarantee the last victory, but for a promoted horse like Fiorentina, it was enough to take the lead at half-time and ⊥ their pride.

The Fiorentina players returned to the locker room and lay there to rest, coach Mondonico and assistant coach masseurs to relax them, at this time, Mondonico did not arrange any tactics, the first half played very well, and the iron bucket formation did not have much clever tactics at all, that is, to use the number of people to compress the space.

In the home team's dressing room, there was a fierce tactical exchange.

Carlo Ancelotti was unhappy with the performance of his players in the first half, the team controlled the midfield, but the midfield was conceded by the opponents, and his players had a lot of good chances, but they did not win a single goal.

The opponent's goal seems to be a matter of luck, but in fact, the root of this conceded goal is a free kick fast, Gattuso did not keep up, so that Chen Yu easily used the speed to pass Pirlo, there is such a large area of space behind, Nesta and Maldini have not many ways, although Nesta can use fouls to stop the attack, but from the situation at the time, Nesta did not need to pay the price of a yellow card, it can only be said that Chen Yu's shooting skills are really smart.

Carlo Ancelotti and several of the team's key players, such as Kaka, Shevchenko, Andrea Pirlo, Nesta and Maldini, discussed the style of play in the first half before deciding to replace Gattuso with Ambrosini. Ambrosini's interception ability in the middle is not much worse than Gattuso, but his header in the box is not comparable to Gattuso, at this time, the attacking players must not be replaced, and the four defenders cannot be replaced, so Gattuso can only be replaced.

After the start of the second half, Mondonico saw Ambrosini come on and replaced Gattuso, but he didn't care, at this time, everyone is the same, Fiorentina is redundant, everyone is watched, Ambrosini is considered the next captain, Mondonico must have studied him.

In the first minute of the second half, AC Milan made a breakthrough on the wing.

The Brazilian winger Cafu and Kaka combined in the middle, Kaka broke through the ball in the middle to create space, and then suddenly split the side, Cafu took the ball, and used his skillful skills to break through Maggio's bottom cross.

The newcomers had a new advantage, and Jogensen, who defended Ambrosini, did not follow, allowing Ambrosini to find a chance at the back of the net, and he jumped high to fight for a header, but at this time goalkeeper Lupatelli also arrived, he jumped high and tried to hit the ball over Ambrosini's head with his hand.

Ambrosini can be called the successor of the future captain, and the sense of responsibility is very strong, Lupatelli rushed over with his knee and viciously hit the ball above his head with his fist, but Ambrosini met it without any fear, and headed the ball with wide eyes.

bang

The two collided together, and the ball flew off the baseline.

Lupatelli's knee hit Ambrosini and his fist hit Ambrosini in the face, but Lupatelli was not comfortable either, he was rushed by Ambrosini, knocked him on his back, and never got back up.

The team doctor came in and lifted Lupatelli out of the field for treatment, but Lupatelli suffered a fall on his back and could not continue the game, so Mondonico had to replace Lupatelli with Sejas.
