Just half an hour into the game, Chelsea breached Fiorentina with two quick counter-attacks to make it 3-4 on aggregate, a result that was unbelievable to all who followed the game.

Not only could they not break through the opponent's goal with a sharp attack, but the seemingly impregnable defense line was also succeeded by the combination of Flo and Zola, who was high and fast, is this still the Fiorentina we are familiar with? This is the first thought that pops into people's minds when they see the score displayed on the big screen.

Vialli was jubilantly celebrating with the substitutes and the coaching staff in the away dugout, and in his opinion, it was a surprise to get off to such a perfect start under Fiorentina pressure, and it was indeed worth celebrating.

"Sue the boys, now we have to strengthen our defense, like we did at the beginning of the game." Vialli has obviously not forgotten the painful experience of being overturned by Fiorentina by three goals in the last game with a two-goal lead, and the conservatism of the traditional Italian coach also affected the young coach at this time, so he gave the following instructions to the assistant coach next to him, "Let Zola and Flo stay in the front court, if Fiorentina dares to attack regardless of it...... Hmph, then I don't mind letting that kind of counterattack happen a few more times. ”

Fiorentina's players, meanwhile, looked frustrated, having been the dominant side for the last 30 minutes, but now Chelsea are two goals ahead of them, a huge blow to their morale.

"Guys, it's no big deal." Effenberg knew it was time for him to step up and boost his morale, with the German Tiger saying in a firm tone, 'Remember the last time we played Chelsea? That time we were also two goals behind at the beginning, but it wasn't Fiorentina who won in the end. Besides, we are only one point behind in aggregate, as long as we score a goal in the next time, we can eliminate them with the advantage of more away goals, why are we so discouraged! ”

"Christian, Ronnie, Andre." As he spoke, Effenberg turned his head to the team's three starting forwards with a stern expression, "No matter what you guys think now, I only ask you to do one thing in this game, and that is to shoot that damn Dutchman's goal to me into a sieve!" If you can't, hum ......"

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! When Vieri, Ronaldo and the others heard Effenberg say this, they suddenly had a wit and hurriedly responded loudly. For this captain, they still admire and respect him from the bottom of their hearts. So when Effenberg made this rather reasonable request, Vieri naturally obeyed unconditionally.

"......" Hearing Effenberg's words, Stam touched his big bald head silently, he always felt as if he had just been innocent......

Effenberg, the team's captain, was on the pitch cheering up his team-mates, while Heynckes, as head coach, was on the sidelines thinking about ways to turn things around.

'I didn't expect Christian [Vieri] to be so unlucky in this game. Although the German had anticipated this situation before the race, the race went beyond his expectations in a certain way. After all, even if he is as experienced as Heynckes, he didn't expect the team to waste so many opportunities to rewrite the score, and the guide was scored by the opponent with two counterattacks, "In this case, even if the defense is strengthened, it is estimated that there is not much point, it is better to let these young men continue to attack, at least to score a goal, so that they can regain their confidence in scoring goals!" ”

So, Heynckes made the opposite arrangement to Vialli, only to see the German stand up, and then made a gesture towards Effingberg, to the effect that he told everyone to inform him, and then continue to let the players resolutely devote themselves to the attack, and use the storm of attacks to pull the score back!

So, when the game restarted, the Chelsea players who had contracted the formation and played a defensive counterattack were shocked to find that the Fiorentina players did not look for opportunities on the perimeter after kick-off as they did at the beginning, but continued to attack their defence with breakthroughs and small areas!

Although the goal luck is still not good, this does not mean that Ronaldo and others are in poor condition, in the face of Chelsea's iron bucket formation, they have shown excellent competitive form, and they have been able to complete a wonderful breakthrough with the strength of one person, and there are a lot of passing cooperation between two and even many people, but it is a bit of a trick to see the fact that they do not score......

To put it simply, if it weren't for Fiorentina's goal luck during this period, Chelsea would have been beaten into a sieve by them a long time ago, where would it have fallen to this point?

Just two minutes before the restart, Effenberg, who had the assist to assist on the edge of the Chelsea box, latched on to Ronaldo's cross and then tested De Huye's reflexes with a powerful long-range shot, and although the ball was eventually saved by the Dutch goalkeeper, the force was so great that it almost lost control of De Huye's heart.

"Is this guy still normal? With such a powerful shot, you can still ensure that the ball flies almost close to the turf! De Huye looked at Effenberg who was retreating from the defense in shock, and thought to himself, "I hope Fiorentina's ball luck is still not good today, otherwise I will have ......"

Fiorentina began to launch a tidal wave of attacks starting with Effenberg's long-range shot, and the technical and tactical advantages gave the Chelsea players who took the initiative to shrink the defence taste the pain of conservatism - under the Fiorentina attack, they could only exhaust themselves in the process of clearing the ball in all directions!

In the 34th minute, Shevchenko cleverly passed the ball with his heel to Vieri in the middle on the edge of the penalty area, who turned and burst into the penalty area and fired a powerful shot that was blocked by Duberry, and Redondo's corner kick was cleared by Leboeuf first!

Despite the excellent form of the Chelsea defenders, there was a slip of the pack. Or it can also be said that the goddess of luck finally remembered that there was such an unlucky guy as Florence, and she was willing to make up for the lack of luck in the past half a month for Purple Lily.

In the 41st minute, Carlos, who had the assist, forced his way through Petrescu's defense and then crossed with his feet, followed by Vieri and Shevchenko who dispersed the strength of the Chelsea defenders one after the other, so that Leboeuf was successfully suppressed by Vieri in a one-on-one situation, and the latter faced the flying ball directly as a lion's head, and the ball went into the net!

One to two! Fiorentina pull one back!
