Chapter Seventy-One: Accidents
βSHITοΌβ When Corina awarded the penalty, Capello cursed in a low voice; But when he saw Costa Curta sent off the pitch with a red card, he kicked the water bottle off his feet in anger.
However, he was not yet able to show his anger at the departure of Costacuta, and after dealing with the fourth official who had come to warn him, Capello briefly comforted Costacuta and told him to go back to the dressing room to rest.
β¦β¦
With referee Corina intervening, the Fiorentina players' celebrations did not last long.
After the restart, the Milan players, who were behind the score, did not rush to press, but kept pouring their feet in the backfield to consume the zuihou of the first half for a few minutes.
Zhuang Mingge in the box saw this kind of scene, and couldn't help but secretly admire: it is really worthy of AC Milan, which has swept Europe in recent years, did not rush to attack Fiorentina when there was one less person and the score was behind, but first consumed until halftime, after all, they are now missing a central defender, and there is a huge hole in the integrity of the entire defensive system.
The half-time whistle blew and both players returned to their dressing rooms through the tunnel to prepare for the second half, while Fabio Capello and Ranieri followed the players into the dressing room to make some tactical adjustments to the second half.
"Whew, it's finally over!" The San Siro Stadium was still in full swing, and Zhuang Mingge, who watched the first half of the game in the VIP box, exhaled easily.
"It should be the end of the first half, Chairman Corleone, your team looks good." Galliani appeared beside Zhuang Mingge like a ghost.
"Hehe, you're right, I'm very happy with the first half, both on the pitch and on the scoreline, and I hope the team can stay that way for the next 45 minutes...... But who can say what happened in the second half. Zhuang Mingge shrugged his shoulders easily and replied.
"Well, Chairman Corleone......" Galliani looked around carefully, not finding a damn paparazzi, "Florence has built a new training base and an experimental center this year, I heard that your doctors there are very good, can you help us?" β
"Well, Manager Galliani, is there anything Milan can do to help us with Florence?" Zhuang Mingge will have a relatively friendly attitude towards most teams in Italy (except for Juventus, who are poaching the "pillars" of other teams), after all, Fiorentina can't make enemies everywhere if they want to gain a foothold in Serie A, and better Milan is certainly a good choice.
"You know Milan has a long-term injury in the first team and it's Marco van Basten, our main centre-forward." When Galliani saw Zhuang Mingge asking, he immediately explained his calculations and thoughts, "Basten's current attending physician has not treated him well, and we hope to ask the kinesiology experts of the Fiorentina club to diagnose Basten and give a treatment plan." β
"Well, I think, it should be fine." Zhuang Mingge thought about it for a while, and felt that neither Carter nor Nelson should refuse the opportunity to treat patients, and replied, "However, how to treat it will have to wait until I go back and ask several kinesiology experts in our experimental center." β
"Haode, then I'll leave this matter to you, Chairman Corleone, Basten is a superstar that we all like very much in the Milan club, and none of us want him to limp after retiring." Galliani seemed to be emotional, and took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears.
I don't think it's a big problem, and it is normal for future generations to see Basten walking or something when he coached the Dutch national team. Seeing Galliani's performance like this, Zhuang Mingge's heart secretly slandered, but he still verbally agreed to Galliani's request.
As for the return on the part of Milan? Zhuang Mingge plans to let Galliani owe himself such a favor first, knowing that with such a strong ally as Milan, when dealing with the "poaching" of some teams, Fiorentina can have more room for maneuver, these things can not be measured by money.
For example, in 2002, Real Madrid forcibly poached the "alien" Ronaldo from Inter Milan, and later in order to "compensate" Inter Milan, Solari and Figo's transfers, Real Madrid sold them to Inter Milan at a very low price, and Cambiaso transferred for free.
At the time when Galliani and Zhuang Mingge agreed on Basten's treatment, the second half of the game between the two sides had already begun, and Fiorentina, who had a one-goal lead, continued to dominate the field.
AC Milan fans cheered desperately for their team from the stands, hoping that their beloved team would be able to cheer up in the second half and tear Fiorentina's "paper tiger" to shreds by Milan like all previous teams that have tried to challenge Milan's supremacy, but unfortunately, the situation on the pitch seems to be contrary to their expectations......
Fiorentina continued to dominate the second half, with a ferocious and fierce all-out attack, and a full-court press at any cost, pressing the opponent to the ground in their own half and beating them violently.
More than 10,000 Fiorentina fans from afar roared in the stands, while the overwhelming Milan fans were dumbfounded: is this San Siro or Frankie?
Although Galliani in the VIP box still looked calm, his inner feelings can only be described as heart-pounding: the full-court pressing and offside tactics used by the Fiorentina team now, suppressing the opponent in the half-time bombardment, he is really familiar with it, because ...... Isn't this the reproduction of the scene of Milan's 4:0 defeat of Barcelona in this year's European Champions Cup final?!
It was one of the most humiliating games in the club's history, and after that game, the value of Barcelona's players was lost by more than half, and even almost ruined Barcelona's manager, Cruyff......
Now Fiorentina actually wants to beat Milan to the second place of the unlucky Barcelona, is this worth it?!
Zhuang Mingge didn't expect that Galliani next to him would be "scared" like this, he was focused on appreciating the game, and every time he saw Galliani sitting in the box with a calm face, he felt very bored.
In the second half, Fiorentina had an absolute advantage in possession time, when a player took the ball, other players interspersed responses, and the whole team counter-attacked on the spot when the ball was lost.
The unexpected tactical arrangement greatly shortened the time and distance of the transition between attack and defense, and the Fiorentina players created a large number of shooting opportunities in the opening period of the second half......
However, perhaps luck was on the side of the Milanese, and after Inzaghi unbelievably missed another chance to score, Milan, who suffered a stormy attack from Fiorentina, survived tenaciously and came back unharmed, with the score still 1-0.
As the game progressed, Fiorentina was vigorous on the offensive field, but it was slow to change the result of the goal, which made Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting there, feel a little uneasy.
If you can't continue to expand the score, this kind of offensive tactic can easily be seized by the opponent to play counterattack...... As soon as Zhuang Mingge thought of this, he saw his own central defender, Filicano, rising to the top when he received a high-altitude ball......
Marco Simeone, who had been roaming the Fiorentina backline, received the ball and immediately rushed towards the Fiorentina goal, he easily shook off the abandoned Toldo, and before the other Fiorentina players could return to the defense, he pushed the score on the field, 1:1!
An accident that could not be counted as an accident brought both sides back to the same starting line......
