“…… Riquelme's wonderful pass to Forlan was offside, and Forlan scored l:0 on aggregate: Villarreal took the lead...... The score remained until the end of the game, when Villarreal shifted the initiative of promotion from Fiorentina to Villarreal......"

The goal spurred the on-site commentator, who was so passionate that he yelled into the pitch with a microphone in his hand, and although his voice was almost completely drowned out by the cheers of the fans, he still shouted.

At the moment of Fran's goal, the Fiorentina fans were all stunned, they were still looking forward to Fiorentina being able to score, but the beautiful wish was disappointed, and the loss of the Fiorentina fans can be imagined

It was the Fiorentina players and coaches who were hit hardest.

Due to the extreme speed of Villarreal's counterattack, Prandelli's relaxed expression before the goal did not change at once, and it was completely frozen on his face, which looked extremely weird.

Fiorentina's players were pouring cold water on their heads by Fran and the feeling was nothing short of chilly, goalkeeper Toldo fell to the ground for a long time, two centre-backs stood still with frustrated expressions, and two full-backs still standing in Villarreal's half.

Fiorentina's strikers and defenders were also disappointed, but they did not complain, even the opponents, Fiorentina players had to admit that Villarreal's counter-attack just now was too good, too fast, and they couldn't defend without making predictions.

Compared to the disappointed Florentines, the Villarreal people went from hell to heaven in an instant, and they were promoted to the happiest people.

The stadium erupted in applause and roars like a tsunami, and a large number of fans in yellow jerseys were like islands suddenly emerging from the ocean, singing and dancing, and their faces were filled with excited smiles, turning the love song stadium into a sea of joy.

On the field, the Villarreal players were even more emotional, except for goalkeeper Vieira, all the players surrounded Forlan and Riquelme in the middle and hugged them tightly.

"It's a beautiful story," Fran thanked him, hugging Riquelme.

"You coolly." Riquelme may be the calmest of those players, but he still has a smile on his bitter face.

The other players also congratulated the two heroes who created the goals.

"Wonderful passing, beautiful shooting."

"Definitely a classic counter-attacking goal."

"Well, keep it up now, and we'll be able to knock out the opponent."

After a frenzied celebration, captain Senna calmed down first and said: "There are about 50 minutes left in the game, the opponent will definitely not give up, we have to concentrate and put our heart and soul into it, if we let Fiorentina score another goal, it will be difficult for us." ”

Riquelme said: "Yes, although we have the advantage now, but this advantage is very weak, in addition to continuing to score, the most important thing is not to let the opponent score. ”

On the sidelines, Villarreal's coach Manuel Pellegrini quickly regained his composure, he clapped his hands and called Riquelme and Senna to the sidelines, "Play well, this goal is very important for us, we have to strengthen the defense next, Roman, the attack may be a little more difficult, you have to take every precious opportunity."

"Understood." Riquelme also understood the crux of the problem at this time, even if Villarreal continued to score at this time, it would not make much sense, because as long as Fiorentina scored, they would score an extra goal in exchange for extra time, and the most advantageous and cost-effective thing was to strengthen the defense and prevent Fiorentina from scoring.

When Pellegrini explained to his core players, Fiorentina had quickly made substitution adjustments, because Fiorentina was leading at home and came away, Prandelli in the starting lineup was a counterattack-oriented lineup, this lineup has two defensive backs Brockie and Donadale, now the score is behind, Fiorentina must attack, and there can be no more two defensive backs, Prandelli removed Brocki and replaced Montolivo to strengthen the attacking factor in the midfield.

The on-site commentator, who had regained his composure at the arrival of Montolivo, was surprised and reminded Villarreal: "...... There are a little more than five minutes left in the game, but Prandelli made substitutions at this time, which shows that Prandelli can't even accept a five-minute deficit, and it also shows Fiorentina's desire and determination to advance, Villarreal must pay attention to it, and must not relax, nor can he indulge in the joy of scoring goals, otherwise, the last five minutes of the first half will not survive......"

At this time, Pellegrini also noticed Prandelli's substitution, and he immediately called Senna, who was about to return to the field, back again, to pay attention to the defense of Montolivo, who liked to insert long-range shots, and if they didn't keep an eye on them, Montolivo's long-range shots would be threatened by Vieira.

Two minutes later, the game started again, the substitution Fiorentina was eager to find the initiative, played like a red eye, the attack was much more direct and rough than the original, the ball was rarely organized in the middle, most of them were directly long passes into the penalty area, or broke through the cross from the side, looking for the two points of Tony and Chen Yu.

Because Fiorentina has a high point in the Villarreal penalty area, Toni is tall and strong, has a grab, Chen Yu has excellent explosiveness and bounce, so the threat of the bottom cross is very great, although the efficiency of the long pass is very low, but Fiorentina's counter-robbery is very active, almost all the players are running, the players who take the ball around Villarreal are crazy to rob, and immediately start from the side after the steal, so as to ensure the continuity of the offensive, wave after wave of attacks hit the Villarreal back line in a hurry, anxious, Completely free to fight back.

Fiorentina's firepower is so fierce, Villarreal's starting lineup is attack-oriented, which is even more difficult to parry, and Pellegrini is unwilling to make hasty substitutions at this time, so he can only let his players use fouls to stop Fiorentina's attack.

In the last five minutes, Villarreal paid the price of three yellow cards in a row for Arua Barena, Venta and Forlan to block Fiorentina's attack and maintain the 0 advantage until the end of the first half.

When referee Seres blew the final whistle, the stadium was filled with the singing of the yellow submarine, and the Villarreal players applauded the fans as they walked towards the dressing room, while the Fiorentina players walked quickly through the mixed tunnel with their heads down.

Chen Yu walked into the locker room at the last time, and after entering the door, Chen Yu slammed the door shut, and then said to his teammates: "What's wrong?" I find people very unconfident? Are we in a bad position right now? ”

Chen Yu looked around, quietly, no one spoke, so he suppressed his anger and said: "I don't think our form is very bad, as long as we score a goal, the opponent must score at least two goals to eliminate us, don't we even have the confidence to score a goal?" ”

Seeing that no one else was talking, Montolivo was the first to speak in support of his idol, "The defense of Spain has always been average, I think we have no problem scoring goals." ”

"It's okay to score, I think our problem is that we can't hold it. ”

Toney's words stimulated the defenders, and the team's vice-president Dainelli couldn't help but say: "You forwards don't care about our backline, if you can score, we can defend." ”

Uyfalusi and others also agreed, "Even if you can enter, we can hold it." ”

Chen Yu's words just now wanted to arouse the morale of his teammates, and now seeing that his teammates began to argue, indicating that the morale was up, he immediately said: "Okay, we have an old saying in China, a gentleman is difficult to chase with a horse, we have to talk about it, our strikers will definitely score in the second half, please hold on." ”

"So you have to be so clear."

At this time, the door to the dressing room suddenly opened, and head coach Prandelli walked in.

'Scoring goals is everyone's job, defending is everyone's responsibility, and no one can shirk it. Of course, there is also a question of primary and secondary responsibility, if you can't score in the second half, then the striker is mainly responsible, and if you can't stand it in the second half and let the opponent score again, the defender has no shirk. ”

Chen Yu said: "That's the truth, we have to work together and must advance at the Love Song Stadium, otherwise we will be sorry for so many fans who came to the stadium to watch the game." ”

Prandelli said: "First of all, I'm sorry for ourselves, it's not easy to play until now, we're the 16 best teams in Europe right now, you think about it, how many giants are in it, we're facing Villarreal, it's a team that has never played in the Champions League, think about how lucky we are, if we still can't qualify, what can we complain about?" The team hasn't been to the quarterfinals for 35 years, 35 years, a person's life has 35 years, and we can't let the fans wait any longer."

When the players took to the pitch, Prandelli's words still echoed in the ears of the Fiorentina players, although many of them had just arrived in Fiorentina, but they could also feel the weight of Prandelli's words and how much they were shouldering the expectations of the fans.

Responsibility can crush the weak, but it can also make the strong, and back on the pitch, the Fiorentina players played less ferociously than the last five minutes of the first half, but they were more resolute and calmer.

In the 50th minute of the game, Fiorentina fullback Pasquel broke through the cross, Toni and Chen Yu both shot the goal and grabbed the same point, Chen Yu did not touch the front point, but Tony at the back point smashed the ball into the dead corner with a powerful header.

Toney's header was only six or seven meters away from the goal, and the goalkeeper couldn't react at all, but Toney actually put the ball on the leg of goalkeeper Vieira.

Missing a great chance to score did not dampen Fiorentina's morale, and they continued to attack, and five minutes later, Prandelli saw that Villarreal had a thick defense in the middle, and the wide attack seemed to be a little short of the shot every time, so he took another risk to make a substitution, with Jorgensen coming in and Di Natale coming up to strengthen the attack from both flanks.
