Chapter 447: Battle of the Alps (Part II)

PS: This is today's first update, and the 73000 recommended plus more will be sent again in the evening.

“Gooooooal! Ronaldo! It was Ronaldo who scored the goal! A very sharp and quick counter-attack from Fiorentina! The alien's excellent man-ball combination ability and first-class explosiveness allowed him to tear Juventus' seemingly solid backline to shreds! Now Fiorentina are 1-0 ahead of Juventus in the first leg! ”

Ronaldo's goal came in the 43rd minute, when the Juventus players, who had spent almost the entire first half in endless running, suffered some burnout in the early stages of the game, and the Fiorentina players seized the opportunity to launch a counter-attack that eventually converted into goals.

A lateral move by Redondo cut off Jugovic's pass to Zidane, and the Argentine then passed the ball to Effenberg before the Juventus players counter-attacked, and the German tiger, who had observed the situation ahead before receiving the ball, kicked a long pass over the top without stopping!

Ronaldo, who had been cruising in the Juventus backline, saw Redondo's passing and immediately started and rushed in the direction of the ball's flight!

Montero, the most courageous of Juve's four starting defenders, immediately turned and pounced on the Brazilian, intending to use a tactical foul to put Ronaldo directly to the ground - the Uruguayan is very smart, he knows what the consequences will be if the ball is received by Ronaldo, so he decisively chose to use the foul to interrupt Fiorentina's counterattack, even if he received a yellow card for this, Montero also admitted it.

However, Montero was clearly no match for Ronaldo, who had already picked up speed, and the Uruguayan was embarrassed to find himself further and further down by the Brazilian after a few steps......

In a hurry, Montero suddenly became angry, and threw his whole body in the direction of Ronaldo, his feet facing the alien's calves, and the steel nails on the soles of his shoes flashed with an eerie cold light under the light of the stadium lights......

"Holy! This TM is playing a ball or a kicking person! Seeing Montero's movements, Zhuang Mingge, who was watching the game in the box, slapped his armrest and stood up angrily. After all, no matter how you look at it, Montero's tackle is no longer for the ball. The notorious Uruguayan centre-back's intentions are clear, intending to scrap the alien with a flying tackle from behind and leave Ronaldo injured directly.

If Montero's goal is achieved, isn't it a replica of Van Basten's forced retirement due to injury after being overturned by Marseille defender Boly in the Champions League final?!

Zhuang Mingge was not the only one to lash out at Montero at this moment, and many Florentine supporters sent their own curses to Montero at the same time.

Moji's face is also a little unpleasant, although he does pay more attention to the result of the game, but this does not mean that Mo Lao Fox does not care about face and the image of Juventus FC. Montero made such a killer move in the much-anticipated Champions League semi-finals, what does this make others think of Juventus? A team of butchers and executioners?

However, as the general manager of Juventus, Moggi can't complain about Montero, after all, the Uruguayan's focused game attitude still makes Mo Lao Fox very recognized, but the expression is too intense......

Just before Montero was about to succeed, Ronaldo suddenly accelerated forward as if he had eyes behind his back, narrowly avoiding the Uruguayan flying tackle, and then raised his right foot to unload Effenberg's long ball safely!

At this moment, Montero was still lying on the turf due to the bad flying tackle just now, and Blank was still eyeing Vieri on the other side, and the two full-backs Pesoto and Torricelli were rushing back from the Fiorentina half; As for Didier Deschamps, the French midfielder is also far from Ronaldo, as he rushed over to steal the German when Effenberg passed the ball......

At this point, there is only Peruzzi left in front of Ronaldo! Fiorentina have a great chance to change the scoreline on the pitch!

The aliens did not live up to Fiorentina's expectations, forming a one-on-one momentum to shake off Peruzzi with a series of feints, and then scored with a right-footed volley to help Fiorentina take the lead on the road!

While Ronaldo and his teammates were celebrating their goal in the stands of the Fiorentina fans, Montero received a stern warning from the referee, and the Uruguayan central defender's deliberate foul was clearly seen by the referee, although it did not cause any serious consequences, but the referee on duty of this game had already written Montero on his list of key cares in his heart.

As soon as the game restarted, Montero felt the care of the referee. Whether attacking or defending, whenever a player falls to the ground in a scramble with Montero, or when the Uruguayan moves a little bigger, the referee's whistle will sound in time to blow Montero for a foul.

Even when Montero took advantage of a Juventus set-piece opportunity in front of the court to head Jugovic's corner kick into the door guarded by Toldo, the Uruguayan's very domineering goal was determined by the referee to be a foul on Nesta, so the goal was invalidated. Angry, Montero glared at the referee and babbled at the referee, only to be given a yellow card by the referee.

The match commentator who saw the scene gloated in the broadcast room: "It seems that Montero paid a heavy price for his previous malicious foul, not only was he restrained by the referee's whistle during the game, but an undisputed goal was also ruled a foul...... The Uruguayan really stole the chicken this time, and if he hadn't flashed the spikes at Ronaldo behind his back, I'm afraid Juve would have equalised. ”

Lippi feared that Montero, who was being cared for by the referee, would lose control of his emotions and cause more trouble, so he replaced the Uruguayan with Iuliano in the 59th minute.

After this substitution, the referee's anger seemed to have subsided with Montero's dismissal, and Juventus finally came out of their constrained state and began to launch a ferocious counterattack against Fiorentina on the cheers of the home fans.

In order to avoid a repeat of the mistakes of the first half, the Bianconeri's attack was more about using the excellent jishu and dribbling skills of the likes of Zinedine Zinedine Zidane and Pierrot to create set-pieces up front, and use those opportunities to wreak havoc on Fiorentina's goal.

Lucky enough for the Juventus players, their somewhat monotonous style of play came to fruition in the 68th minute, when Zinedine Zidane took a free-kick from the left side of the pitch and Blanc leaped up from the crowd and struck the ball into the back of the net behind Toldo!

One-to-one! Juventus equalised!
