Volume 1 Chapter 500 A Bitter Victory

In the 80th minute, Fiorentina extended the score to 0

It was a score that even the most conservative Villarreal would not be able to accept.

This score means that the submarine has been completely sunk, and promotion may only become a theoretical possibility. The score of 0 is not too big, but with the home and away factor, the score of 0 becomes a bit out of reach, because Villarreal does not have the quality to score more than two goals at home and keep a clean sheet against Fiorentina

If Villarreal are to qualify, they will have to score a goal away from home, which is almost a necessity, because with such a condition, Villarreal will be able to go back to Fiorentina and not hold back and fear the wolf and the tiger.

There was no way out, Pellegrini calmed down, he walked quickly to the sidelines, waved his hand, pressed all the players he solved, and swore to the opponent to fight to the death, either the fish died or the net was broken, and he simply solved two games in one game to have a result.

At this time, Villarreal's players were also united, with ten minutes to go, two goals behind, they were no longer afraid, no longer suffering from gains and losses, everyone brushed through the half, everyone actively inserted the shots, and took the goal as their responsibility.

At this time, Fiorentina's defensive pressure also increased suddenly, the original Villarreal players were only three-quarters of the players in the Florentina half, and now all of them are in the Florentina half, the original Villarreal's pressing is useless Now it is so fierce, La Liga teams still have a gap with the Serie A Premier League in this regard, but now, Villarreal's players are like crazy, everyone is running and scrambling like mad dogs, and the space in Florence's half is too small, It is very difficult for Fiorentina to clear the siege purposefully, the opponent does not give them the opportunity to observe at all, in this case, of course, there is no chance to counterattack with a short pass, at most it is a big foot pass to the front, Tony can get it is a counterattack, and if he can't get it, it is the opponent's second attack.

If this situation continues, it will definitely not work, and sooner or later the opponent will break the goal, but now there are less than ten minutes left, and it is difficult to say whether the opponent's physical fitness can support these ten minutes at this time, so Fiorentina is still stubbornly holding on and waiting for the end of the game.

Chen Yu has gone back to defend, he almost didn't get the chance to get the ball in front, his teammates were basically blindly driving forward, the opponent's defender stood just past the half of Fiorentina in the middle circle, goalkeeper Vieira had already run out of the big penalty area as a drag-back defender, in this case, unless the ball was very close to him and Tony, there was no chance, there was less than ten minutes left, Chen Yu felt that it was better to bind a defensive player to participate in the defense, 0, now there is no need to score more, As long as you don't let your opponent score, the quarterfinals are almost there.

Fiorentina defended with all their might, and Villarreal didn't get many chances, but Villarreal's momentum was pressing, the ball almost rained into the penalty area, and the offensive wave after wave, it seemed like it could break the goal at any time, which made the Fiorentina fans very nervous, and many people even forgot to applaud their players to cheer, and frequently drew crosses on their chests, praying that Fiorentina could hold on to the last few minutes of the game and make today's game have a perfect result.

Even Fiorentina President Dra Valella is nervous, he is also a senior fan, understands the current situation of Fiorentina, in terms of the current score, Fiorentina must be extremely advantageous, but the premise is that Villarreal does not score, as long as Villarreal scores, then Fiorentina's second goal is equal to a vain goal, because L gives the opponent an away goal after it is not as good as 0 is more cost-effective.

Delawaree was restless, very nervous about the situation of the game, and ran to the window from time to time to take a look, Villarreal's chairman Roygue was even more nervous than him, his team was 0 behind, basically half a foot has been eliminated from the quarterfinals, if the opponent scored one more, Villarreal would be completely with the quarterfinals RR, how could Roig not be in a hurry, he stood by the window, cursing with gritted teeth for a while, hammering the wall and sighing for a while, just more fans than an ordinary fan.

Time is not the same for different people, for Fiorentina, the game time flies too slowly, ten minutes is as long as ten days, and for Villarreal, ten minutes pass too quickly, in the blink of an eye it has now reached 90 minutes, there is really not much time left for Villarreal, unless a miracle happens, it is unrealistic for Villarreal to want to score.

Villarreal also had two chances to score in those few minutes, one when Forlan received a cross from the wing of a team-mate and flicked his head ahead of Dainelli and Brocki, but goalkeeper Toldo was attentive and reacted quickly to keep the ball out of the box with a side-saving effort before Jorgensen kicked the ball out of the box.

The second chance to score is Riquelme from Villarreal's core, Riquelme's action and speed were slow, now in the middle, and there are so many defenders, Riquelme has almost become a spectator on the field, but when Villarreal won a free kick, Riquelme's personal ability was shown, in the 85th minute of the game, Riquelme's curling ball at the edge of the penalty area bypassed the tight human wall of Fiorentina and went straight to the dead corner, goalkeeper Toldo has no possibility of touching the ball, But the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the post.

Referee Merck raised three fingers to the fourth official on the sidelines, and the fourth official quickly flashed the stoppage time sign for three minutes of stoppage time.

It was the last three minutes, and at this point, Toney was back in front of his penalty area, and Fiorentina was completely transformed into a bucket formation, ready to hold on for the 180 seconds.

Villarreal also knew that they only had less than three minutes to go, and they didn't care about the patience to organize, no matter what direction they stood on, the ball was hoisted into the box, attacking in the simplest, roughest and most time-saving way, so that they could get the chance to shoot as quickly as possible.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Sorin played the ball from the wing into the box, a fast and sharp curling ball that was difficult to steal, but also a big threat to the goal, and once someone was on top, it was difficult for the goalkeeper to save.

Seeing such a curved ball coming, goalkeeper Toldo was nervous, and quickly shouted to the players, telling them to pay attention, it is best to clear the ball out of the front point, if you get to the middle of the penalty area, it is very troublesome to clear the siege, and if you don't say it's good, you can get an own goal.

However, Fiorentina's former point player did not touch the ball, and the ball was rubbed by Villarreal's player in front of the point, unable to change the direction, so that the players who jumped up to grab the point at the first time were saved.

The ball came to the back point, the speed and spin of the flight are still unabated, at this time at the back point of the defense is the fullback Pasquier, Pasquier assists, passes are a good hand, but grabbing the header is not his forte, in the face of the incoming ball, Pasquier's judgment of the flight trajectory and landing point is not fast enough, as a result, Josemari grabbed the opportunity, the first header smashed to the bottom left of the goal.

Jose Mari's header was not at a bad angle, but it was so powerful that Ujfalusi, who was standing on the left side of the goal, did not have time to move his body, and the ball hit his leg and flew into the net.

When Jose Mari grabbed the point with a header, Toldo had rushed to the middle line of the goal, and at the same time as Jose Mari's header, Toldo flew over, although Toldo was not sure to touch the ball, but there was still hope, but what Toldowan did not expect was that the ball actually touched the leg of his teammates and changed the line, he had no choice but to watch the ball fly into the net.

In the final moments of the game, a deflected goal from Jose Mari allowed Villarreal to score a valuable goal away from home.

Villarreal went crazy at the sight of the ball flying into the net, with fans jumping up from their seats, waving their arms and shouting at the pitch as if they had already qualified.

The Villarreal players on the bench and the coach in the dugout also swarmed out like hornets that had been stabbed in a hornet's nest, rushing straight to the pitch and hugging their players tightly.

Even Manuel Pellegrini was no exception, rushing onto the pitch, hugging every submariner's player and muttering words that he didn't understand.

The on-site commentator sighed: "In the second minute of stoppage time, Villarreal pulled a goal back, which was a goal from the dead, the score was too favorable for Villarreal, they can be said to have won the best of all the losses, with this goal, there is a lot of suspense in the quarterfinals, and the possibility of Fiorentina being eliminated has also greatly increased...... Alas, that's what football ......"

All the Florentines froze, all of them thought that the game would end because there was no time, but at this point, the change still happened, and the score now made them hard to swallow.

Even Chen Yu, who has always been full of confidence, couldn't help shaking his head, he knew that the result was now decided, they had no time to play, they struggled for UU minutes, and the result was still for Villarreal to get an away goal.

After the game kicked off again, the referee Merck gave Fiorentina a chance to attack, but no matter how strong Fiorentina's attack is, it is impossible to break through Villarreal's door in one attack, and the score is finally fixed, Fiorentina won at home, but it was a bitter victory, in a sense, such a victory is equivalent to a draw.
