Di Natale's shot went goalless, but it earned Fiorentina a corner.

Set-pieces are very important to Fiorentina, before the game through the analysis of Barcelona's style of play, the Fiorentina coaching staff regarded set-pieces as the key to the outcome of this game, and these few minutes of play also made Fiorentina discover the horror of Barcelona's ball control, they can hardly touch the ball, it is simply too difficult to attack, so more attention is paid to set-pieces.

In order to strengthen the defense, only Fiore, Chen Yu and Di Natale can take corner kicks, and only Chen Yu is the only one who can take free kicks.

In terms of footwork, Chen Yu is the best of the three, in order to ensure the success rate of the set-piece, Chen Yu took the initiative to come to the corner kick area to take the corner, Fiore stayed at the front of the penalty area and waited to get the ball that was played, and continued to organize the second wave of attacks.

Fiorentina came to Barcelona in the penalty area to compete for the top of the game, in addition to Toney and Di Natale, Dainelli and Ujfarusi, and the two central midfielders, Donaderre and Brocki, stayed behind to defend the opponent after the ball and counterattack

In terms of height and header alone, Toni has no opponent in Barcelona's penalty area, Barcelona can only use its captain Golden Retriever Lion King Puyol to defend him, although Puyol's heading ability is good and his body is still strong, but the height gap between Puyol and Toni is too obvious, and in the case of similar heading skills on both sides, Puyol suffers a lot.

Chen Yu's pass was to find Tony, and neither Tony nor Puyol had the upper hand in the power confrontation, but Toney's height still had some advantage, he didn't jump up to the flying ball, and flung it hard into the corner of the goal.

Toney's header wasn't really blown out, it didn't jump all the way up, and in the middle of the confrontation, Toney's shot was still accurate, and the ball flew towards the far corner.

"Oh no."

"It's too dangerous"

The Barcelona fans were uneasy when Fiorentina won the corner, but they knew what their team's strengths and weaknesses were, and they shouted in panic when they saw the ball flying towards the net.

Goalkeeper Valdés was one of Barca's weaknesses before the game, and his shortcomings were almost the same as Frei's, that is, he was inconsistent, able to save impossible goals, and able to concede impossible goals.

But now, Valdés showed his good side, and in this moment of crisis, he made a miraculous save to get the ball off the line again.

"Good"

The Barça fans in the stands instantly stood up and waved their arms to Valdés in cheer.

The black swan Rijkaard in the dugout was so startled by Valdés' save that he almost stood up, but he only brushed his hair and calmed down again.

At this time, Fiorentina coach Prandelli buried his head in his knee in disappointment and hit his head again and again.

Fiorentina's players did not have time to regret and sigh, and with another corner for Barcelona, Fiorentina had to strike while the iron was hot and attack as soon as the opposition looked unprepared for their attack.

Chen Yu serves a corner kick for the second time.

The arc of the corner kick this time was actively reduced by Chen Yu, because Barcelona's aerial ball defense is indeed weak, and Chen Yu wants to give all players except Toni a chance to get a header.

There was chaos in the penalty area, and players from both sides rushed to the top desperately.

In the handling of the ball in the air, Fiorentina's players are very skillful, even if the Barcelona players are well prepared, the ball is still pushed by the Fiorentina players.

Dainelli is the best player to head outside of Chen Yu and Toney, and in training matches, Dainelli often has to defend Tony and Chen Yu against aliens, and he has a lot of experience.

However, although Dainelli was able to bully Van Bommel, he did not have the same advantage as Toney, and the ball was deflected wide of the post in the confrontation.

Control of the ball was back in Barca's hands, and this time they were more cautious as they also felt the power of Fiorentina's header in the two minutes, giving Fiorentina the chance to attack, and Fiorentina could have found the back of the net through set-pieces and wide crosses.

However, after ten minutes of offensive and defensive switching, Fiorentina also knew what their strengths and weaknesses were, and they gave up competing with Barcelona for possession and concentrated on defense.

Fiorentina is not indisputable, because they can't compete at all, even if they try their best to grab the ball, can't pass a few kicks, they will be forced to open by Barcelona's high position, or make a mistake and be stealed, Fiorentina's players' ability to pass and control the ball is not the strongest in Serie A, and the strongest AC Milan and Barcelona compared with Barcelona, there is a big gap in passing and control, which shows how big the gap between Fiorentina and Barcelona is in passing and controlling.

Fiorentina has two backs, four defenders, and now a contraction, Chen Yu and Di Natale have almost become midfielders, only Toni is in front alone, such a defense, Barcelona's passing coordination is also difficult to be able to penetrate deep into the vicinity of the Fiorentina penalty area, and can only fall around the periphery and look for opportunities.

After passing a lot of feet in a row, Fiorentina's midfield commander Xavi seemed to see that it was difficult to tear apart Fiorentina's defence with a pass alone, so he passed the ball to right winger Lionel Messi.

Xavi passed to Messi instead of Ronaldinho because Messi's side was not very strong defensively, and Fiorentina's defense against Ronaldinho was unmatched.

Messi didn't get much chance to get the ball in the previous ten minutes, and the main role of the youngster became to defend back, but Messi was making his first start today, he was very excited, and he was not dissatisfied with his teammates not passing the ball to him, but he was very active in the defense, and every time he returned to the side of his penalty area, helping to reduce the defensive pressure of his full-back Belletti.

Seeing Xavi pass the ball to his feet, Messi understood Xavi's intentions without asking, he stopped and turned, controlled the ball, and then rushed to Di Natale in front of him.

Di Natale's retreat to this position is Chen Yu's order, Chen Yu believes that this road should be strengthened, he is worried that once Messi gets the ball, he will drive straight in, and only Pancaro is a veteran who may not even be able to touch the ball, and Brockie is likely to have no time to fill the side.

When Chen Yu told Di Natale, Di Natale didn't think so, thinking that it was a bit of a fuss to defend a child, so when Messi rushed up, Di Natale still went up to steal a little carelessly.

Messi faced Di Natale, he made a move to pull the ball in, but suddenly the ball went forward and accelerated past Di Natale.

Messi's two actions are very common and very simple, and amateur players will do them, but Di Natale was fooled, because Messi's two actions were too fast, Di Natale felt a flower in front of him, and he still stayed on Messi's first action, Messi had already used the second action to pass him.

Throwing off Di Natale, Messi went straight to Pancarlo.

Pancaro saw that Messi's feints were so fast and the start speed was so awesome, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, hoping to retreat near the baseline and reduce Messi's speed advantage.

Pancarlo's choice can't be wrong, but Messi is not a typical winger, he is an all-round striker, seeing Pancaro retreating too fast, Messi suddenly changed the bottom to cut inside, horizontal dribbling, a feint to break through the penalty area followed by a forward horizontal belt, and easily shook Fiorentina's back Brockchi into a stake.

"Good"

"Messi"

Messi was so light and light that he won the applause of the home fans.

Messi had already flashed out of space after pulling sideways past Brockie, and from yards Messi fired a low shot into the near corner with his left foot, which he is good at.

Messi's shot angle was good, but the power was too small, and he was held in his arms by Fiorentina goalkeeper Frei with a flying side-by-side pounce.

Messi's breakthrough success raised the confidence of the Barcelona players in him a little more, and then Barcelona continued to pass to Messi after winning the ball, allowing the Argentine genius to break through Fiorentina's defense and break the balance of power on the field.

Messi is getting more and more relaxed, Fiorentina's left side has become his back garden, Pankaro has been abused as a dog, and Di Natale has also received a yellow card for excessive action.

In the 13th minute of the game, after Messi got the ball again, he broke through to the side of the penalty area and was stopped by Pancaro and Di Natale, Messi did not force a breakthrough, because it was not interesting to be fouled here, and Barcelona's set-piece posed little threat to Fiorentina, so Messi chose to cut in.
