Chapter 40: Madness

Although Fiorentina's men began to attack in the ensuing game, pushing Sampdoria's formation back into their own half, they were unable to find the back of the net.

In the 48th minute, Batistuta volleyed vigorously from outside the penalty area, and the ball smashed on the goal frame and popped off the bottom line;

Five minutes later, Fiorentina won a corner and Djokaeau's ball found Barty's head accurately, but the close-range header was blocked by Evani at the post;

The Fiorentina were desperate to find the back of the net, and the Sampdorians kept the ball out of the net again and again.

……

In the 80th minute of the game, the score on the field was still 1-0, and Fiorentina was behind.

Batistuta was brought to the ground by Verjovod during a scramble for the ball, and although he did not appeal to the referee, he immediately got up to fight back, but the referee blew the whistle to award Viljovod a direct free kick about 25 metres from goal, and the penalty was at the midpoint between the corner of the penalty area and the touchline on the left side of the field.

Barty spit out the grass clippings that had been mixed into his mouth, and pulled Effenberg, who was about to take the free kick, only to see the two muttering there, it seemed that the two were fighting for the power to take the free kick, and under the intervention of the referee on duty, Batistuta seemed to have given up his intention to take the penalty, and honestly ran to the penalty area to wait for the ball.

I saw Effenberg procrastinate from the beginning of the swing of the ball, deliberately repeated a few strokes, focused everyone's attention on himself, covering for Barty's movement, although the Sampdoria defenders noticed that Barty ran out of the penalty area, but saw him running farther and farther, almost running to the middle line of the field along the right sideline, and did not follow him out to mark him, just thought that Barty was angry about the loss of the ball.

The referee on duty ran to tell Effenberg to send the set-piece as soon as possible, and the German was naturally full of promises, without looking left and right, Effenberg calculated the time in his heart and drove the ball directly.

What everyone didn't expect was that he actually transferred the ball to the other side of the ball almost corresponding to the point of the ball, and it was Batistuta who happened to appear in this position after a long run!

Batistuta had completely adjusted his pace after this high-speed run, and he saw the incoming ball, and he turned sideways and swung his leg without fail......

The result of the explosive liliang hitting the ball was that the ball changed shape in that instant, and then turned into a white light and flew towards the goal 0.5 seconds later......

The ball flew off the turf after being forced, and then in an almost linear motion it went into the top right corner of the far end of the goal, grazing the junction of the post and the crossbar. Pagliuca, who had been guarding the near corner, didn't react to the ball at all, only to react when Batistuta ran to the corner flag to celebrate

“Goooooooooal!!! Great Batistuta! Wonderful free kick combination!! It's wonderful!! ”

Fiorentina's commentator was ready for Batistuta's swinging leg and when Batti finally kicked the ball into the Sampdoria goal. He immediately burst out the strength he had been accumulating for a long time! Although the only thing that can be heard is the Fiorentina fans sitting in front of the TV. And next to him sat the commentator of the Sampdoria team. But he doesn't mind that, now he just wants to vent the joy in his heart, and by the way, he is angry with this ** person next to him - that guy didn't show how strong the team he supports before the game.

Thousands of Fiorentina fans who accompanied the team on the away side exploded the moment the ball flew into the net, and their leaky shouts even crushed tens of thousands of home fans, and the Stadio Ferraris became a sea of Fiorentina in this instant.

In the box, Zhuang Mingge and Karin raised their hands at the same time after scoring the goal, and then the two of them clapped each other's palms to celebrate the goal.

"It's a 1-1 draw and if we can keep that result until the final whistle, then Fiorentina will win the Coppa Italia with more away goals!" Fiorentina's commentator cheered for Fiorentina while teasing his opponents, "Obviously Mr. Eriksen (Sampdoria manager) was too conservative in the previous time, and now Sampdoria has paid the price for their previous lack of progress!" Come on! Florence! ”

With little time left, Sampdoria's players had no choice but to press aggressively, and the tide of the game took a fantastic turn in the first ten minutes of Zuihou, with Sampdoria on the attacking side and Fiorentina on goal.

Seeing that the remaining time is getting shorter, some of Sampdoria's players are starting to get agitated.

When the second half was about to go to stoppage time, Sampdoria striker Mancini was directly knocked out from the side by Iuliano after a dribbling breakaway, so he lost a scoring opportunity and thought that he had been provoked by the opponent Mancini jumped directly from the ground, and then picked up his palm and slapped it towards Iuliano.

Thankfully, Iuliano reacted quickly enough to dodge in time, so Mancini's surprise attack did no harm to him. Just scraped from his own cheeks.

But Mancini's behavior attracted the attention of the referee, who was already looking at the referee here because of Giuliano's foul and saw everything that had just happened almost without missing anything. Therefore, after separating the players from both sides who were entangled in the unexpected incident, Mancini was directly sentenced to death for maliciously attacking others, and a bright red card appeared in the Ferraris stadium.

"Robert [Mancini's] stupidity has cost him dearly for it, and now Sampdoria is in a much tougher situation!"

The Sampdoria commentator was now eager to rush onto the pitch and tear the guy nicknamed "Mancho" to shreds, but he could only sit there and continue his work with a depressed face, while enduring the ridicule of the guy from Florence next to him.

Sampdoria, who were missing one man and falling behind by one goal, completely lost their fighting spirit, and the players became more and more angry due to the reversal by the opponent, and the mentality was completely unbalanced, so they gave Fiorentina a goal again at the end of the game.

A foul in the penalty area, Mannini, a veteran who has played for Samp for many years, used a relatively large action in defense to directly bring down Inzaghi, who broke through into the penalty area with the ball, because of his hot head, and gave Fiorentina a penalty opportunity.

As the team's number one penalty taker, Batistuta stood in front of the penalty spot and was ready to take the crucial penalty.

Run-leg-shoot, a series of movements like a cloud of peers, Barty's powerful volley successfully broke Pagliuca's ten fingers again.

"2:1, Fiorentina turned defeat into victory! Great reversal!! The Fiorentina commentator threw all the compliments he could think of at his own team, while the Sampdoria commentator next to him could only accept the sad fact that they would not win the Coppa Italia with a depressed face.

Fiorentina had a one-goal lead and with less than a minute left on the clock, there was no suspense about the title, and the Sampdoria player hastily drove the ball out and had not yet made a few passes, when the final whistle sounded in the middle of the pitch.

At the moment when the referee blew the whistle, the Fiorentina players who had been waiting on the sidelines and on the bench all rushed into the stadium to celebrate the victory.

Everyone was crazy, even Effenberg and Batistuta, who had participated in many major tournaments, couldn't help but fall into a state of madness. He shouted and screamed with his teammates to vent his joy. After all, this is Florence's first championship trophy since 1975!

Seeing that many people took off their jerseys and ran around shirtless, without any image at all, Zhuang Mingge felt that such a scene was very interesting.

At the same time, many Sampdoria players sat in the stadium with a depressed face, looking dazed and in stark contrast to the ecstatic Fiorentina players, because the final was still ahead of themselves more than ten minutes ago, and was reversed by the opponent, many Samp players were not mentally prepared enough and have not fully recovered.

There was nothing special about the Coppa Italia medal ceremony, the Sampdoria players first went up one by one to receive their runners-up medals, and then stood a little depressed and watched the Fiorentina people walk up one by one.

When Batistuta lifted the trophy as captain and celebrated with his teammates, the cheers of the Fiorentina fans inside the stadium reached their peak!

Zhuang Mingge and Karin were also cheering for the team's final victory in the box, and no one would accuse them of ignorance of the rules, because at this moment, the champion was Fiorentina!
