"It was Pierrot who took the last penalty at Juventus." Looking at the player wearing the Juventus No. 10 jersey who was walking towards the 12-yard point, Zhuang Mingge said in an unsurprising tone, "It is really Lippi's style to arrange the most confident person to take the penalty last." ”

It stands to reason that to be able to maintain such a high penalty shooting rate, Pierrot's psychological quality should not be bad. But I don't know why, when the zebra prince comes to a critical moment or when he is facing external pressure, he will not play well or even become invisible. This, from the fact that Pierrot has not scored a few sports goals in consecutive seasons after a serious injury in 98, and even has had conflicts with many forward partners because of the goal drought, is enough to prove the fragility of the Bianconeri in terms of pressure resistance.

As a well-known "penalty striker", Piero's achievements in penalty kicks are naturally extraordinary. I saw that he stepped back a long distance after setting the ball, and then changed speed several times in the middle of the run, and after tricking Buffon into moving his center of gravity in advance, he shot the ball to the other side of the gate in a hurry, and easily hit the penalty, and the score on the field was tied at 3-3!

In this way, Fiorentina's fifth player to take the penalty will be crucial. If Fiorentina misses a penalty in this round, then the two teams that were tied in the first five rounds will face an even more brutal "sudden death method", that is, the two sides continue to punish each other until the end of a round where one penalty and the other team does not score, and the team that scored the penalty wins the game.

Pierrot expressed his excitement by swinging his fist excitedly at the sight of the ball into Buffon's goal – after a few years of injury, a slump in form, a long goalscoring drought and a head-grabbing incident at the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, the 29-year-old has finally begun to mature as a true banner for the team, not just a promotional swagger for the club.

At this time, the fifth Fiorentina player in charge of taking the penalty also walked to the penalty spot at the signal of Merck. In exactly the same way as Lippi, Heynckes sent Andrea Pirlo, Fiorentina's best penalty scorer, to take the penalty in this round, and at the same time sent someone to drag Vieri to the field to prevent the joker from saying anything shocking to disturb the morale of the army.

"......" looked at Pirlo, who looked indifferent and couldn't see what he was thinking, and Frey couldn't help but start to get nervous, because Pirlo's expression easily reminded him of Pierrot's appearance. You know, when he was taking a penalty in the team's training, Pierrot just put on an expression to take the penalty, and then all he had to do was get the ball out of the net......

Retreat - run - accelerate - shoot, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, ignoring Frei, who was standing in front of the goal, Pirlo shot the ball towards the goal with his right foot without any delay!

At the same time, Frey also made a save at the first time. Unable to judge the direction of the opponent's shot from Pirlo's actions, he could only predict the trajectory of the ball based on his own intuition and game experience, as well as the information collected by the coaching staff before the game, hoping to block Pirlo's penalty and delay Fiorentina's steps towards the championship trophy!

However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny. As it turned out, Frei's gamble failed to save Juventus from losing on penalties. Just as Frei pounced on the right, Pirlo gently hoisted the ball into the middle of the goal!

Spoon penalty! In the fifth round of the penalty shootout, Pirlo, who was in charge of the penalty that decided the fate of both sides, actually kicked a spoon penalty at this critical moment!

In the face of Pirlo's unexpected spoon penalty, Frei, who had misjudged the spot, naturally had no time to make any remedies. He could only watch as the ball arced in the air and then flew into the goal!

Four-three, Fiorentina had the last laugh in this penalty shootout with Juventus, and successfully lifted the Big Ears Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of European clubs!

Fiorentina's fans, meanwhile, cheered after Pirlo tricked Frei with a spoon penalty and successfully sent the ball into the back of the net. Because to take such a penalty in the Champions League final requires not only skill, but also extraordinary courage. Because in the process, Pirlo only needs the slightest hesitation to be recognized by the goalkeeper and easily save the penalty.

"Win! We won! After seeing the referee's gesture that the goal was valid and announcing the end of the game, Zhuang Mingge jumped up from his seat with excitement, and now he could finally relax after being nervous for a long time - in the time just now, he was frightened by the tension on the field. Especially when Nesta missed a penalty and Montero brought the two teams back to the same running line, Zhuang Mingge felt that his heart was about to jump out!

Although Fiorentina still had two players who did not take penalties at the time, the 2-2 score and the farce that Vieri had made on the pitch before were enough to make anyone tremble, fearing that the next Fiorentina player would be affected and lose the trophy to the Bianconeri.

Now, the dust has settled and the trophy is in Fiorentina's pocket. Those who support the purple lily no longer have to worry about the fate of Florence, and can vent their joy to their heart's content!

On the other side, the Juventus players who saw Andrea Pirlo hit the penalty fell to their knees on the turf. This result is a bit unacceptable for them who are at their best in this game. In particular, Nedved and Pierrot, the two core figures of Juventus, were even more gloomy and unwilling at this time.

With this success, six-time Fiorentina have managed to surpass AC Milan in the total number of Champions League titles, and are second behind La Liga giants Real Madrid (seven). However, considering that six of Real Madrid's seven titles were won in the fifties and sixties of the last century, Fiorentina, who have won the Big Ears Cup six times in eight years, is the well-deserved European hegemon in people's minds!

In this way, after 120 minutes of hard fighting and a fierce penalty shootout, Fiorentina finally defeated Juventus in this Champions Cup final and reached the top of Europe for the sixth time!
