Volume 1 Chapter 318 Lore
Playing at home, playing one more man, leading 0, in this case, even the calmest and most sane people will inevitably let their guard down, and some Fiorentina players who have not played for the national team have already thought about how to go for leisure and shopping after the game at this time.
Head coach Prandelli also returned to his seat and discussed with his assistant coaches which young man should be sent up to exercise, there are three substitutions, and when the win is decided, it can give the three young players a valuable opportunity to exercise, Livorno is by no means a fish belly, and it is good for the development of young people to be trained in such a game.
However, the Fiorentina players do not know that the balance of victory has begun to unconsciously turn to Livorno, because Livorno is in ruins at the moment, and the combat power that broke out is not smaller than when he was alone, and the referee also felt a little sorry for Livorno psychologically after sending off Lucarelli, and the scale of the game is undoubtedly inclined to Livorno.
In the first minute of the game, Morrone made a long pass from the backfield, Palladino stopped the ball beautifully and passed it to Zerrudolph who was inserted forward in the middle, Zerrudolph passed diagonally, Bakayoko followed up with a strong shot in the ribs of the penalty area, and the ball hung in the far corner, but goalkeeper Frei chose a good position, and he punched the ball out of the bottom line.
Morrone whipped in a corner and Fiorentina had at least four Livorno players in the box scrambling for the spot, which required a lot of courage and a lot of risk for a team with one man less
Fiorentina's defense was clearly a bit lax and overconfident in its defensive movements, and the usually steady D'Innelli appeared to the top, which surprised the fans in the stands and his teammates on the field.
It's just that Bakayoko, who has just come on as a substitute, is obviously not ready, he never dreamed that he would be able to play at this time, and Dainelli's rise to the top also made him unable to react, and a hurried header was far off the post, making his teammates sigh, because the ball was more than three meters away in front of the goal, and it was really unreasonable for such a ball to fly overhead.
Livorno's two attacks actually gave Fiorentina a reminder that they were not willing to admit defeat, but Fiorentina's players did not think so, they thought that Livorno was just a return to the past, as long as the opponent gave another hard counterattack, Livorno would die and never have the idea of turning over.
The game did not go in the direction Fiorentina wanted, in the first minute of the game, Palladino volleyed hard from the edge of the penalty area, the ball was very slippery in the heavy rain, goalkeeper Frei did not dare to hold the ball, only to hit the ball with both hands, and gave Livorno another corner kick.
Corners and set-pieces are very important for Livorno, and the Livorno players are well aware of this, and when Morrone took the corner, Livorno put in at least five players in the box
Morrone's corner kick was low and fast, and Fiorentina's penalty area was full of people, and everyone jumped up to fight for the top, in fact, in this case, who can fight for the ball, in addition to personal judgment on the good landing point, more depends on luck.
Livorno's main defender Grandoni was obviously lucky, he jumped high to meet the flying ball, and Grandoni didn't bother to look at the position of goalkeeper Frei, but the header flicked and the ball changed direction and flew to the left side of the goal.
The goalkeeper's biggest fear is actually the header, because the header is close, and the player who shoots the goal can also change the direction of the ball at the moment of shooting, which is impossible for the goalkeeper to prevent.
Frey saw Glendoni's header clearly and was ready, but Glendoni's lion flick still made Frey's preparation useless, and he only made half a save and watched the ball fly towards the net.
"Bang"
The ball slammed into the post under the gaze of thousands of eyes.
"Ahh
"Ah" Livorno's fans and players also let out the same "ah", but their meaning of the word "ah" is definitely different, and Livorno is disappointed.
This time, Livorno came close to finding the goal, but the post blocked their way.
However, the screams of both sides were not over, the ball flew to the side of another Livorno player in the box, this Livorno player stopped the ball with his thigh, and when the ball fell, he juggled the heel of his other foot into the goal, and the ball flew into the net against the goalpost.
Goalkeeper Frey watched this happen, but there was nothing he could do, because many people rushed into the small penalty area when they were just fighting for the top, and Frey couldn't go around to save it.
The goal was scored by Livorno midfielder Gallant.
With almost a certain defeat, Gallant broke through Fiorentina's defence with a juggling-like shot, giving his side a dose of confidence.
Gallant was so excited after the goal that he ran to the stands, holding on to the guardrails, and yelled at the thousands of fans who had come to help Fiorentina.
"Come in, cheer on, I'm Gallant."
The 1,000 Livorno fans in the stands erupted in loud applause and shouts, they had already been in complete despair, and if it wasn't for the away game, many of them would be ready to go back to the stadium, and instead of being abused in the rain and tormented in garbage time, it would be better to go home.
But at this moment, they finally felt that they had left the right place, and to see such a beautiful goal, even if it was drenched in the heavy rain for another hour, it was worth it, at least their players did not give up, insisted on fighting in despair, and waited for a miracle to come.
Even Livorno's head coach Donadoni excitedly threw down his umbrella and let the rain wet his clothes, and rushed to the coach's seat and hugged the coaches who ran out.
Fiorentina's players were stunned, they couldn't believe they had pulled a goal back, but the numbers on the scoreboard didn't lie, with one man less, Livorno scoring and scoring such a beautiful goal.
The Fiorentina fans were not nervous, his reaction at the moment was anger, they were very annoyed that they were actually scored by one less Livorno, and after a short silence, they immediately let out a boo, with which they drowned out all the cheers of the 1,000 Livorno fans and suppressed the morale of the opponent.
Prandelli was also a little surprised, he didn't expect the opponent to score, and he scored such a goal, but now Fiorentina has the advantage and plays one more person, Prandelli is not worried at all, he is very calm with an umbrella, and gives orders to the players on the field, let them run positively, don't give the opponent another chance, if the opponent scores another goal, then the game will be troublesome.
However, the so-called blessing is not a single line, after the kick-off again, Fiorentina launched a direct attack on Livorno's penalty area, all the players ran forward, the whole formation was at least 15 meters forward, four midfielders and three forwards all hit Livorno's half, besieged the opponent, and wanted to expand the score to two goals again.
Fiore saw a gap and wanted to pass the ball to Toney, who then passed it back and played with the two strikers, but Livorno was very excited, and their midfielders judged Fiore's passing line, which was intercepted by Gallant's outstretched foot and then quickly pushed to Pfezel.
Pfötzel didn't hesitate to find Palladino with a long pass from the wing.
When Lucarelli was on the field, Lucarelli was the core banner, Livorno's everything was only Lucarelli's first sight, and a youngster like Palladino was a pawn, and now that Lucarelli was gone, Palladino was under a lot of pressure, and under pressure, Palladino broke out.
Palladino stopped with the ball, then lunged Brockie to a stagger, and then Palladino sprinted at high speed towards full-back Pasquel.
When Pasquier saw Palladino coming up, he didn't dare to foul easily, because he had already received a yellow card, but when Pasquier retreated, Palladino did not press forward, but directly made a diagonal pass, and the ball flew past the line of the penalty area.
It was a tricky pass, because the first wave of defenders had already arrived in the box, this time mainly Fiorentina defenders, while the second wave was still coming into the box, and the second wave was mainly Livorno players.
Sure enough, it was Livorno's Morrone who grabbed the point, and the attacking midfielder followed up with a powerful volley, which was not small, and the rain splashed on the ball, and under the strong impact, it broke through the rain curtain and flew to the top left corner of the goal.
This time goalkeeper Frey was in a bad position, he thought he needed to cross most of the pitch to save the ball, obviously, it was an impossible task, Frey had just taken off, and before he could leap, the ball flew into the net against the post.
Morrone equalised for Livorno, who had one man less.
At this time, the Fiorentina fans in the stands were stunned, almost at the moment of unification, countless umbrellas fell from the stands, which were all dropped by the fans in a daze.
: Ping
It was an unbelievable score for the Fiorentinans, and what a shame it was to be chased twice in a row by the opponent in one minute, not to mention that the opponent was still one person less.
After Frey fell on the turf, he pressed his face tightly against the turf, not daring to stand up, his pain was undoubtedly the greatest of all.
And Morrone also rushed to the stands like Gallant just now, asking his fans for strength.
At this time, Livorno coach Donadoni was as excited as a groom officer, he jumped up and punched in the air to vent his joy and depression.
Scoring two goals and equalising in such adversity would be a huge honour for any Livorno, and even if they can't hold on to their current scoreline, Donadoni thinks it's a positive.
The most direct victim was goalkeeper Frei, and the biggest hit was the head coach Prandelli, who conceded two goals in one minute, which Prandelli could not have dreamed of, he could hardly believe his eyes and ears, he pinched himself violently, only to know that this is not a nightmare, this is a fact.
Prandelli was on fire, he rushed to the edge of the pitch and shouted to the players: "The attack must win this game, this is our home stadium"
The Fiorentina players were beaten by their opponents at the beginning, and then they all became angry, and everyone almost didn't have to say anything to fully understand the thoughts of their teammates, and everyone quickly returned to their own half, waiting for the game to start, and they had to teach this arrogant opponent a serious lesson.
When the game started again, Fiorentina woke up like a dream, everyone gathered enough strength to press desperately, never let the opponent easily get the ball, and even didn't want the opponent to score their own half.
However, Livorno has become very mature after Lucarelli was sent off, and they understand that their attack in front of them has a certain price to pay, and it is difficult to maintain it for a long time, so after Morrone's equaliser, manager Donadoni immediately called in his players and made a strategic deployment, and the team went all out to defend and play defensive counter-attacks.
The next is a huge test for Fiorentina, Fiorentina's players under the leadership of Chen Yu bombarded Livorno indiscriminately, but after Livorno put on an iron bucket formation, the numerical disadvantage was completely gone, they only needed to defend, and even counterattacks became rare.
In the 30th minute of the game, Fiorentina's long pass from the side found the lighthouse Tony in the middle, under normal circumstances, Tony would head back, but now, Tony shook his head and hit the goal directly.
Toney's shot was also very sudden, and Livorno's goalkeeper Amelia was completely unguarded, and in his hurry, he lifted the ball with one hand and gave Fiorentina a corner.
Chen Yu also played a little real fire at this time, and in this corner kick he actually spun directly to the goal.
Goalkeeper Amelia did not dare to slack off, and flew to hit the ball out of the ball with his hands.
Continue to the corner.
Chen Yu took the penalty again, and the ball hit the front of the penalty area, and Donadale followed up with a long-range shot.
Donadale shot well, but the ball was blocked by goalkeeper Frei.
Then Fiorentina launched a tidal attack, but in the pouring rain, Fiorentina's attacking quality was very poor, with a lot of mistakes, slow ball speed, and blurred vision, while Livorno, who put up an iron bucket formation, did not suffer from this at all, he only needed a big foot to drive the ball out, if it happened that the ball was obtained by his two strikers, then maybe they could really create a new miracle.
The 45 minutes of the first half finally passed, and both the attackers and defenders took a long breath before everyone walked briskly into the dressing room for a short break.
In the locker room, the head coach of the home team, Prandelli, didn't talk much nonsense, he would play 10 people, it was not his own problem, and the tactics were nothing to say, the opponent put on an iron bucket formation, and under such heavy rain, the penetration in the middle was a joke. All the players on their side can do is shoot from a distance and make long passes, hoping to kill the opponent with numbers.
At the beginning of the second half, Fiorentina deployed troops, and the first substitute was Paccini, replacing Di Natale, which was a counterpoint adjustment, the purpose of which was to try this phrase "substitution is like changing knives", to see if Pacini can bring some changes to the team?
However, Pazzini did not have a good chance of coming up, and the opponent's defense became more confident and bold, and even made two counter-attacks.
Looking at the 70th minute of the game, midfielder Brockie also came off the field, and teenager Montolivo came on to continue to strengthen the control and long-range shooting ability of the midfield.
However, at this time, Florence's attack was still like a tiger eating the sky, and there was nowhere to eat.
Seeing the RU minute, Fiorentina still couldn't score, and the score was still: But now Fiorentina fans and players are afraid to look at the numbers on the electronic scoreboard, because it would be almost humiliating to them.
Seeing that the game was about to reach the 85th minute, the score was still a draw, and there was a substitution, at this time Prandelli had no room for hesitation, he would never accept a draw, even if it was worth taking a little risk, so at this time, Prandelli boldly let his water cooler player who spent more than 10 million euros in the season - Bodinov sent on the field.
Obviously, Prandelli sent Bodinov out of desperation, because the two were still at odds, but now in order to win, Prandley can only make a desperate bet.
The presence of Bodinov and Pacini did not have much impact on the whole game, because their opponents were swinging in a big bucket, and Bodinov and Pacini did not have much time to touch the ball, unless they were super lucky, they could never have scored.
At this moment, the game has been played in the 89th minute, and the score is still the same
The Fiorentina players are still attacking hard, and the Livorno players are still a little distracted at the moment, and they are desperate for the game to end immediately, so that they can go back to the dressing room with a point, change out of their soaked sticky clothes, drink a warm drink and enjoy the game.
Being equalized by the opponent for so long, Chen Yu has also been doing a hard battle, as the captain and banner of the team, Chen Yu's mood at the moment is more impatient than anyone else, but he has been warning himself that he must not be in a hurry, he must be calm, only calm can win
At this time, the ball flew over and passed to Chen Yu, Chen Yu quickly went over to catch the ball, but there was a player behind him who followed Chen Yu and did not let him catch the ball easily.
Sure enough, Chen Yu went to stop the ball, and the opponent slammed into Chen Yu from behind, and stretched out his foot from behind to reach the ball.
The ball was kicked away, but the referee didn't say a word.
This has happened many times, and the coach has favored Livorno, who has one less.
The ball will come over soon, and now the ball is basically under the control of Fiorentina, but Chen Yu knows that this is not good, he must find a way to take the ball and shoot, only shooting can score, and if he doesn't shoot, he will never score.
The 90th minute arrived, with three minutes of stoppage time, and the fans in the stands were already on their feet, they did not speak, they were just applauding, and the Fiorentina players understood that the fans had thrown away their umbrellas and cheered them on in the heavy rain.
At this time, Fiorentina's players continued to break through the cross from the side, and the player who played Livorno was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly added defenders to the side, and the ball was transmitted to the feet of Montolivo in the middle, Chen Yu saw Montolivo take the ball, quickly ran to the left to catch the ball, ran less than three meters, suddenly stopped, turned back and ran back, and this time the player who followed Chen Yu was thrown off.
Montolivo also alertly passed the ball in front of Chen Yu at this time.
Chen Yu no longer hesitated, and half-turned and shot angrily during the run, Chen Yu's man almost turned in a circle, and the ball flew to the upper left corner of the goal with a violent spin.
Goalkeeper Amelia attaches great importance to Chen Yu, seeing Chen Yu get up, he flew and pounced, Amelia chose the right time, seeing that the ball just touched with his palm, Amelia had flashed the sound of fans cheering in his mind.
However, Amelia's eyes suddenly flashed, and the ball sank from his palm and fell straight into the bottom left corner of the goal.
Ah, elevator balls
Amelia let out a groan, but could only watch as the ball crashed into the net.
