Although in the defensive jishu, Ranocchia still looks very young and immature, but there is one aspect and Thiago. Compared to Silva, Ranocchia is more suitable for the current Fiorentina, Thiago. Silva has a nickname like "The Rock of Silence" among Fiorentina fans, and Ranocchia is even more domineering in comparison.

I thought it was a loophole, but it turned out that I hit the head of the angry bull headbuttally, and Ferguson's depression can be imagined.

Seeing that there was not much time left in the game, but his team was never able to find too many opportunities, Ferguson was also a little anxious, and he began to deploy troops, replacing Carrick with South Korean player Park Ji-sung, and then using Allan . Smith replaces Tevez.

When Tevez came off the field, he looked very dissatisfied, but he had nothing to complain about, his performance in this game was simply a scum, playing for 80 minutes, and he didn't even have a shot on goal.

Manchester United's two substitutions seem to be in opposite positions, but you must know that after Smith returned to Manchester United, he has not played the forward position for a long time, and more often, he appears in the midfield position.

Speaking of Smith's change of position, it is also a bitter tear, after his transfer to Manchester United, because Manchester United had Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Saha in the front line at that time, Alan . Since Smith moved to Manchester United from Leeds United, he has been torn between a regular and a substitute.

When the fiery England striker arrived at Old Trafford, manager Alex Ferguson felt United needed just Smith to be a thorough striker.

But as Ferguson got to know Smith better, he gradually discovered another potential of Smith!

At the time, Sir Alex Ferguson said in a news interview with Sky Sports that he was convinced that Alain Ferguson. Smith would be an excellent full-time midfielder and could even be the successor to captain Keane, which was a real surprise at the time.

Smith then played an excellent role in protecting Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs in his first appearance for Manchester United, helping United to control the midfield well, and his frequent tackles allowed United to press their opponents in the half, and manager Alex Ferguson's tactical intentions were well implemented, and the Reds won that game in a wild way.

Speaking after the game, Ferguson told Sky Sports: "We've seen his potential, he's only 24 years old, he's very young, it's true that we're thinking about whether he could be Keane's successor, we've been talking about it all the time, of course, you can't get another Keane, Smith is Smith and he's going to give us a different role than Keane. ”

It can be seen that Ferguson's expectations for Smith at that time were quite high.

In fact, as early as when Jihua brought in Smith, Lord Ferguson had this idea, and in Ferguson's mind, there has always been a transformation of Smith from a striker to a midfielder. The original inspiration came in a match between Smith and Fulham, when Smith made a big impression on Ferguson after a successful tackle on a defender in the opposition penalty area.

So when Smith moved to Manchester United, Ferguson planned to make the most of Smith's enthusiasm and efficiency, and transform him into a midfielder.

Now it seems that Ferguson's transformation of Smith is still very successful, and at this time, Ferguson is obviously not planning to continue attacking, but is ready to defend.

Probably Ferguson also felt that it was very difficult to solve the battle after 90 minutes of play, but the more it was towards the end of the game, the more likely it was to have accidents, so it was better to base yourself on defense first and then think about other things.

At the same time as Ferguson made a substitution, Prandelli also began to adjust his line-up, replacing striker Mutu, who had been playing for 80 minutes and was basically at the limit of his fitness.

However, Prandelli then replaced not Pacini, who started to partner with Digan when he was in Atalanta, but Cavinaji, although Cavinaji's goal-grabbing ability is not as good as Pacini, but his impact is stronger, and his header is better, and now Fiorentina is mainly playing on two wings, so it is obviously more suitable to replace Cavinaghi than to replace Pacini.

Then Prandelli replaced Motta with Arteta, whose fitness has always been his shortcoming, and at this time he was replaced at the break while using Arteta to strengthen his attacking ability.

Now the mentality of the managers of both sides has just reversed, at first it was Ferguson who wanted to settle the battle in 90 minutes, and now it is Prandelli who is desperate.

This is also completely understandable, Fiorentina compared to Manchester United, after all, the European experience is too lacking, once the game enters extra time, Fiorentina will become more and more panicked, and the experienced Manchester United can be more calm.

Arteta came on and had an immediate effect, with his long balls hitting the back of Manchester United in quick succession, while completely freeing up Montolivo to play a surprise attack.

However, Manchester United have increased the depth of their midfield after bringing on Smith, and the two sides are completely spear-and-shield.

'It looks like it's going to be hard for the two sides to end the game in 90 minutes now, and Manchester United have brought in Allan. Smith, Sir Alex Ferguson's intention is obvious, that is, to drag this game down, although Fiorentina wants to attack, but the local position on the field is really not dominant, and at the same time to guard against the opponent's counterattack, do not dare to invest too many troops in the attack, it is difficult to penetrate the opponent's defense. ”

The managers of both sides are now quiet, and they can see from their pensive looks that they are preparing for the next extra-time, and now that the goal has been cancelled, the half-hour extra-time will be a difficult test for the fitness of the players on both sides.

Fiorentina is young and has a physical advantage, although Manchester United has a majority of veterans in the team, but they are experienced, plus Ferguson added Park Ji-sung and Smith in the midfield, these two physical maniacs, it is difficult to say who has the advantage.

By the 88th minute, both sides looked unprepared to attack, and Fiorentina skillfully reversed their feet in the midfield, which was Fiorentina's housekeeping skill, and it was difficult for the opponent to grab the ball in such a small area.

However, the regular time of the game is coming to an end, at this time, Fiorentina is probably killing time, the football passed to the feet of Degan, suddenly, Degan towards the right side of the big foot, Abarth, who was still in his own half just now, suddenly inserted, received the ball and rushed towards the bottom line of Manchester United.

"Attack!"

Deegan shouted and rushed to the United penalty area, he was so fast that Ferdinand subconsciously tried to hold him, but he didn't get anything.

Fiorentina's sudden acceleration caught Manchester United off guard, Evra was very close to the middle at this time, and it was already difficult to defend Abate, Abate rushed forward with the ball for more than ten meters, but did not encounter Manchester United's interception.

"Damn it! Stop him, stop him! ”

Ferguson roared loudly on the sidelines, turned his head to look at Prandelli, and saw the excitement on the other side's face, obviously this attack was arranged in advance, just waiting for the Manchester United players to slacken, and then hit a fatal blow.

It's horrible!

Ferguson couldn't believe that such a young coach was so calm, and when he was playing Zuihou, he also arranged such a one-hit tactic to defeat the enemy.

Digan, Cavinagh, Montolivo, all Fiorentina midfield players rushed forward and it looked like Fiorentina were going to gamble on the Zuihou strike.

Abate calmly raised his foot and crossed, and Degan, who was rushing to the front, suddenly realized that he seemed to have overrun and was in an offside position, and hurriedly zhanzhu to let the football fly overhead, just now he had seen Cavinaghi plugging in at high speed.

It's close! It's close!

Kavinaghi threw himself out desperately, his body almost parallel to the ground, and a fish leaped to the top.

The football hit Cavinaghi right on the forehead, although Vidic tried his best to block, but his interception was still a little slow, although Van der Sar made a timely save, but the distance was too close, coupled with his tall body, it was impossible to fall to the ground in an instant to save.

Under the watchful eyes of the full Shijie fans, the football drilled from Van der Sar's feet directly into the bottom left corner of the goal.

The ball is in!

At the moment when the football entered the net, Ferguson felt that the whole shijie was dark, and after a hard season, although he won the league championship, he still valued this European championship more.

Is it just to admit defeat!

Seeing the goal scored, Cavinaghi roared loudly and rushed to the sidelines where the Fiorentina fans gathered.

The Fiorentina fans in the stands have exploded at this point, the game is about to end, and at this time, the goal scored by Cavinaghi is the stunner.

Manchester United don't stand a chance!

There is no chance at all!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！”

The commentators in Italy also roared loudly, who said that Italian football has declined, look at the present, in six years, teams from Serie A have won four Champions League trophies, such results, who dares to say that the Italian league is not the first league of shijie?

At this moment, the referee's whistle also sounded!

It's over!

European Champion!
