Chapter 70: Leading
The game has been going on for more than 20 minutes, at this time the two sides of the game are no longer engaged in small-scale testing and contact, but without scruples of short-handed encounters and drastic confrontations, Milan and Fiorentina's Super Cup championship battle, finally at this moment, officially kicked off.
This game has a lot of "highlights" in the eyes of some professionals, such as the desperate Saburo-style Lanna in the Fiorentina team. After not being called up by the Italian national team for a long time, he is very eager to play well in Fiorentina, especially in this direct dialogue with Milan, so that he can be selected for the national team again.
Italy is a country with an endless stream of good defenders, and Lanna, who has only achieved a certain amount of success during his time at Sampdoria, will need to work harder to impress the old Sacchi.
However, it is clear that Maldini Jr.'s position at left-back is clearly unshakable, but the choice of his substitute will depend on which players Italy coach Sacchi trusts more, and how he will perform before the European Championships in England the year after, especially against his rivals.
"Oh! Effenberg forced his way through Albertini's interception and distributed the ball to Lanna, who was cutting in at high speed from the left! Will Lanna choose to keep pushing forward in front of Panucci defending him? The answer is yes! They are all fighting for a place in the Italian national team right now! ”
The commentator of this game is very "cooperative" to say one of the motivations of Lanna's extraordinary excitement in this game - the main left-back of the Italian national team, Maldini, who is bound to participate in the European Football Championship to be held in England next year, is the reason why the young Lanna is full of fighting enthusiasm.
In the cheers of the Fiorentina fans who came to the scene, and under the hard work of the Fiorentina players at all costs, the "Purple Lily", which was fighting "away", began to gradually occupy the initiative on the field.
As Capello feared, people like Maldini, Costa Curta and others were unconsciously stunned when facing the Fiorentina players.
Although they were "stunned" for a very short time, only for a few seconds, it was enough to cause very serious consequences on the rapidly changing football field.
Although Fiorentina coach Ranieri did not know the impact of the "Shijie Cup nightmare" on the Milan players, he could see that Costacuta and others were "abnormal", and took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to call Billindelly, who was closest to him, to teach him face-to-face.
Subsequently, Fiorentina began to increase the pressure on Costacuta's side, Djokaeff and Effenberg took turns to dribble directly into Costacuta's defensive area, and for a while there was a lot of noise in the Milan penalty area.
In the 30th minute, Philippe Inzaghi successfully countered offside, and the chasing Costacuta made a tactical foul and put Inzaghi to the ground.
In the 33rd minute, Fiorentina made a comeback, and the physically strong Batistuta pressed the Costacuta behind him after winning the ball, and then turned and volleyed vigorously, but unfortunately the ball was saved by the old goalkeeper Rossi;
Two minutes later, Costacuta's defensive zone was once again breached by Fiorentina's players, and Effenberg's forced "overtaking" made Costa Kuta embarrassed, this time it was Milan's captain Baresi who wiped his ass;
Seeing Costacuta being broken through by the Fiorentina in a row, Capello on the sidelines was a little untenable, and he began to think about whether to replace Costacuta at halftime, after all, judging from the series of performances just now, the current Costacuta is no different from a colander.
So, who should be replaced? Capello quietly glanced at the bench behind him: Tasottti, Koko, Philippe Galli?
If Tassotti or Koko are on the pitch, then Maldini will move to the centre-back position; And the old Gary's play is more of a counterpoint substitution......
Just as Capello was thinking, the game had already reached the 44th minute, Djokaeff received a pass from Lanner, lightly erased the eager Costacuta, turned and burst into the penalty area, but the previously dizzy Costacuta kicked Djokaev from behind, and the discerning referee Corina quickly rushed to the "place of the crime" and awarded Fiorentina a penalty, this time he did not let go of Costacuta, who had repeatedly fouled in the last 15 minutes, and gave him a free one" Ruby God of War Card", directly expelling it from the field.
(The real Costacuta's competitive state has indeed declined inexplicably since the shijie Cup in '94, the most typical game is at the end of '94, in the game against Sarsfield, Costacuta first gave the opponent a penalty for a needless foul in the penalty area, and then made a return pass error to make AC Milan concede another goal, and received a red card before the end of the game and was sent off)
As the team's number one penalty taker, Batistuta carefully wiped the ball, placed it on the spot, stepped back some distance, crossed his hands on his hips, and quietly waited for the referee's whistle.
When the whistle blew, I saw Batistuta running - swinging his legs - shooting, a series of actions in one go, like a cloud of peers without stopping.
Batistuta's shots have never been known for their tricky angles, what really makes him famous for shijie fans is the famous "Batti GOAL", which destroys all obstacles in front of him with thunderous shots, even if it is a penalty, because this is Batistuta's style.
This time, Batistuta's shot was not angled, the ball clung to the turf towards the bottom right corner, and AC Milan goalkeeper Rossi stretched his arm with all his might to try to change the trajectory of the ball a little bit.
But he failed, and before he could touch the football, Barty's penalty flew under him at high speed and plunged headlong into the white net, sending ripples.
After seeing that he had scored a goal, Batistuta ran to the corner of the pitch like a wind, holding the corner flag in his hand, holding his head high and shouting to the sky, as if he was the king of the green at this moment, and the whole shijie surrendered to his feet.
The rest of Fiorentina's players also ran over to celebrate the goal with Batistuta, and Inzaghi jumped on Batistuta's back with excitement, both of whom were happily daxiao.
Because at this moment, they have taken the lead, and they are ahead of the king of European football - AC Milan!
