Chapter 1271: The Dust Has Settled
PS1: This is Wednesday's update.,It's a little late.,I hope you don't care too much about the update time.,I promise not to break the update......
PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.
It's over! It was the first thought that popped into Molina's mind after hearing the referee's whistle announcing that the goal was valid. Molina knew very well that conceding the goal would make Deportivo La Coruna's already promising promotion situation worse. After all, they only needed one more goal to knock Fiorentina out of the semi-finals with the same aggregate scoreline, but now they have to score two goals in the remaining ten minutes to keep a chance of progressing to the last four!
To chase two goals in such a short period of time, this is completely different from the previous "score one goal to advance" is a completely different difficulty task!
Thinking so, Molina quietly observed the expressions of his teammates around him, and found that Naibet and captain Mauro Silva were both "snorting" and panting at this time. It seems that in the more than 30 minutes after the start of the second half, these elderly veterans have indeed consumed a lot of physical strength, so that by the time Fiorentina began to exert their strength, they were completely powerless to block the Purple Lily's offensive, and could only rely on their will and game experience to barely support.
After noticing the expressions on the faces of these teammates, Molina's heart became even more uneasy. He had a feeling that his Champions League trip this season might be coming to an end tonight.
"The big thing has been decided!" At the same time, Zhuang Mingge is celebrating the team's success in the Champions League semi-finals with Karin and Groz Jr. at home, and he doesn't think Laco has a chance to turn the tables in this situation.
You must know that although Laco successfully rose at the turn of the century and achieved results and honors that are not inferior to Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two Spanish super giants, they are conservative in their strategy in the transfer market in order to ensure their records, and basically will not take the initiative to sell the main players in the team.
On the one hand, this style of not easily selling the main players can ensure the team's combat effectiveness to the greatest extent, and the tacit understanding between the players is relatively better; On the other hand, Laco's conservative transfer strategy doomed them to the increasingly mobile professional football after the Bosman era, and the high cost of contract renewal also locked in the possibility of Laco's further development.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that once the form of this group of players declines due to age and injuries, then the day of Deportivo collapses is approaching.
Sure enough, after the restart of the game, Deportivo La Coruna, who was completely inferior in physical fitness, was defeated by Fiorentina's attack, and could only retreat into the 30-meter area of their own half. Irueta was rushing to his feet on the sidelines, but there was nothing he could do about it, knowing that the players had played to their full strength in this game. Since neither of them was able to equalize the aggregate score in this situation, the outcome was actually predestined.
Although Irueta tried to make a last-ditch fight with Duschel and Scaloni in the following days, this was at most a reinforcement of the already shaky defense, and did not make Deportivo attack much better. Surrounded by Claude Makelele and Ballack, Belleron could barely receive passes from his teammates, let alone organise counter-attacks.
Fiorentina also created a number of equalisers during this period, but it is unknown if Lady Luck was in the way, whether it was Ballack and Diego Milito, or the opportunist Inzaghi, they failed to capitalise on these chances and unfortunately missed the goal.
In this way, the score remained 1-2 until the end of the match, and the Deportivo players won at their home stadium but still lost 3-5 on aggregate and had to accept the fate of being eliminated by defending champions Fiorentina.
Despite losing the two Champions League games against Fiorentina, the Deportivo players were praised and recognised for their brilliant performances in the second leg. As a result, the name "Super Laco" has once again reached the ears of fans all over the world.
Of course, along with the admiration of the fans, there is also coveting from other clubs. Because everyone knows that Deportivo is a poor team, as long as they can promise their players high salaries, then the success rate of poaching is still quite high.
In this regard, we can refer to the stories of Rivaldo's transfer to Barcelona and Roy Mackay to Bayern Munich, to see how powerless Deportivo is when it comes to dealing with other teams.
So, unless Laco has the kind of players in the team who are particularly loyal, it will not be easy for them to keep this squad this summer.
Compared with Deportivo La Coruna, who was still defeated, Fiorentina's performance this time can only be described as unsatisfactory. While a 4-1 win at Frankie Stadium did show the strength of the defending champions, the Purple Lilies almost wiped out their advantage at Riazol.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, if it weren't for Laco's lack of succession, I am afraid that Fiorentina may not be able to cross this hurdle to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
After knocking out Deportivo La Coruna, Fiorentina will face AC Milan in the 29th round of Serie A this weekend, and the two teams will face off at the Stadio Franqui!
With Fiorentina already 10 points ahead of second-placed AC Milan in the table before this game starts, and with only six games left before the end of Serie A, it is no surprise that Fiorentina will defend their league title.
Despite this, AC Milan did not choose to abandon the game for this reason, and were more eager to prove their quality by beating Fiorentina in this direct match-up. Therefore, the Rossoneri, who also played a Champions League game in midweek, did their best in this game to take away a win from the Frankie Stadium!
Dida, Kaladze, Maldini, Glendoni, Cafu, Ambrosini, Baronho, Seedorf, Kaka, Rebrov and Shevchenko, Ancelotti showed his strength in this match!
