Chapter Seventy-Two: Lore

After the score was unexpectedly equalized by Milan, Capello decisively replaced Massaro, who had been inactive throughout the game, and replaced the young and strong left-back Francisco Koko, moving Maldini's position to the middle to partner Baresi to strengthen the team's defense; There is only one Simeone left on the front line, ready to counter-attack at any time.

"Capello is going to take the defensive counter-attacking tactics to the extreme!" Although Zhuang Mingge in the box was very dissatisfied with Capello's style of "accepting it when he sees it", he had nothing to blame, after all, the opponent's team had one less person on the field, and the competitive state was not very ideal. In this case, any coach will choose to shrink the defense and play the defensive counterattack, does it have to be that Milan and Fiorentina fight on the field to be called in line with the trend of football? That's not in line with the trend, that's called being kicked in the head by a donkey.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, the Milan players invested more troops in defense and piled up more people in their own half, which also meant that Fiorentina's attacking space was further compressed by the Milanese. Under Ranieri's tutelage, Fiorentina, who paid attention to ground coordination, had nothing to do in the face of the "turtle shell" created by the Milanese, and was forced to play simple and rough long passes and side crosses in the second half, and the starting point of the attack was also shifted from Effenberg to the feet of Ferrara and Di Biagio, who were more behind......

The Milanese also completely gave up on the ball at this time, and except for Simeone, the remaining nine players blocked the area 30 meters from their own goal.

Lanna, Billindeli, Djokaev and others desperately attacked from the relatively weak Milan flank, with Batistuta and Inzaghi both trying their best to get a ball in the middle of the net, but each time their crosses were either slightly wide of the net or their crosses were broken by the likes of Baresi and Maldini......

Ferrara, a centre-back near the centre of the back, has lost count of the first time he has taken the ball from the back, handed it to his wide players, and then hoisted it into the packed AC Milan penalty area. But as a result, almost without exception, they were successfully cleared by Baresi, Desailly and others......

In the 80th minute of the game, Ranieri made his first substitution, he replaced the defender Di Biagio with Vieri, Fiorentina changed the formation to 433, and the two high school forwards Barty and Vieri stood firmly in the Milanese penalty area to fight for the cross!

Baresi's height and age determine that his air defense is not very good, even with Maldini by his side, he can only deal with a high striker, and this change in Ranieri has also doubled the pressure on Milan's defense in an instant.

Lanna dribbled in again, passing the ball to Effenberg in the middle and quickly moving forward along the left wing; Effenberg, who received the ball, took advantage of the situation, crossed Albertini's defense, and sent the ball out again in the direction of Lanna's advance, and Lanna, who was quickly inserted, comfortably received the ball, and he who had just overtaken Panucci while the opponent was not paying attention, and there was an open area in front of him!

"Hit the wall with two over one!" Zhuang Mingge's headphones came from the narrator's loud scream, "What a perfect side coordination!" Effenberg's tacit cooperation with Lanna caused Milan's wing defense to be hectic again.

Lanna, who had the assist in the back, cut in decisively down the middle, while Effenberg, who had just passed the ball, was running off the ball to attract the attention of the other Milan players. At this time, Lanna had already found the right opportunity, decisively at a 45-degree angle on the left side, calmly got up and crossed!

Lanna's cross crossed a beautiful arc.

And the Milan goalkeeper Rossi, who is not fast. Looking at the ball slashing diagonally from the edge of the penalty line, after a second of hesitation, he chose to stand on the goal line and wait...... He missed the perfect moment to strike.

"Christian Vieri!"

The huge body of the young Italian center forward, like an iron tower, stood proudly in the Milan penalty area.

Vieri pressed his body against Franco Baresi, who was marking him head-on. This time, when the ball arrived, he finally got in the perfect position to attack.

Bierhoff, who is 1.88m tall, is in front of the great opportunities created by his teammates. Ready to jump high and head at goal.

Ten meters!

Eight meters! Six meters!

This is the time! Vieri calmly threw his entire body up. However, as he took off, he felt a strong pressure from behind his body.

Bang!

Vieri, who was trying to adjust his header position, could not hear the crisp sound of his forehead making close contact with the ball. Vieri, who fell to the ground after finishing his shot, slapped the turf several times. He was excellent with a header, but this time he couldn't hit the right spot, his header hit the goal, went over the crossbar, and went straight into the sky......

"Damn! It should be a penalty! Is the referee going to turn a blind eye?! ”

The roar of the commentator on the TV was representative of the voices of many people at the scene and in front of the TV, but the foul of the Italian defender, who made a "small move" behind Vieri, was really exquisite, because it looked more like the result of a reasonable use of physical inertia.

This can't be blamed on the referee of this game, Collina, although in Serie A, the Italian defenders who are generally very good in personal defensive skills often play this kind of little tricks, and Collina himself knows it well, but he thinks that if the striker who plays in Serie A can't even deal with this, then he still goes home and picks up the child...... What's more, he has already given Milan a red card, and if he gives another penalty, he may not know what will happen after the game.

Vieri, who fell on the line of the Milan penalty area, after doing a little self-venting. As he was about to stand up again, in front of him, an arm that symbolized his friendship stretched out towards him.

That's him! It's this Milan defender who just laid the "black hand" on me behind me!

Vieri looked up, and a smiling face that was not unfamiliar appeared in front of his eyes - it turned out to be the old captain of Milan, Franco Baresi, this old guy's defense jishu is really skillful!

Vieri calmly stretched out his arm and, with the help of Baresi, got back to his feet.

San Siro burst into applause, and the applause was dedicated to their captain Baresi, and this time, it was with his experience that Minlan once again saved the day.

……

The game entered stoppage time, and Ferrara, who was standing in the center circle, once again saw the return pass of his teammate Kripa, who was holding the ball with his back in front. He took a deep breath, adjusted his pace and once again fed a beautiful pass to Lanna on the left as the ball approached him......

Lanna, who once again dribbled the ball straight to the bottom line, has begun to calmly look for the tall figure standing in the Milan penalty area.

Bottom cross!

Vieri is outflanked again in place! In front of him, Baresi was sticking up like kraft candy again!

Turn around! Turn around! Turn around! Is this monkey-like center forward going to attack the goal with the back of his head?!

Once again, facing Baresi's defense, Vieri turned his back to Baresi like a traditional center on a basketball court, and used his strong body to squeeze the emaciated Baresi behind him.

In the face of Lanna's curling ball with the inside of his left foot, the Italian centre-forward's excellent header Jishu was on display at this moment.

Vieri tried to lean forward against the ball coming from his right, rubbing it with his forehead, and the ball flew just right over Maldini's head, while the player who jumped next to Maldini was ......

"Batistuta! Is he going to head the goal?! The narrator shouted excitedly.

"Nope! Wrong! It's not a door-knocking! Or passing! The ball was pushed to the right of the six-yard box by Barty and Rossi had lost his position! ”

The ball landed on the right side of the Milanese penalty area, and there were no Milan players in that position at this time! But! There lurks a Florentine "killer" - Philippe Inzaghi!

Due to the fact that Milan's defense was so dense in this game, Inza did not find any great chances in this game.

However, such a great opportunity is enough for a real "killer"!

Facing the ball that bounced slightly after landing, Inzaghi glared with his left foot, aimed at the gap in the lower right corner of the Milan goal with his right foot, and pushed the ball directly over.

Inzaghi's shot was not sighty and the ball was not fast, but Milan goalkeeper Rossi was helpless in the face of the ball heading straight for his own goal.

When the ball hit the net, there was a "whoosh" sound, and the stunned old Rossi didn't even make any saves before the goal was broken.

On the sidelines, Capello reluctantly closed his eyes, he had exhausted all his wisdom for this game......

"The ball went in, the game was over, Fiorentina won the zuihou! Great Philippe Inzaghi! He completed the lore of Zuihou in this game! The Purple Lily has conquered the San Siro Stadium! ”

Zhuang Mingge, who took off his headphones, reverberated in his ears the words of the narrator when he praised Florence's outstanding performance......
