Chapter Ninety-Seven: Piero's Performance

"Oh, Fiorentina had good luck, Juventus defended without problems, and the goal was conceded entirely because Peruzzi was moving too slowly! Now that Fiorentina have a one-goal lead on the road, let's see how Juventus are going to fight back next? ”

"Hehe, Manager Moggie, it seems that in this game, Fiorentina has a better chance of winning." Seeing that the team was ahead, Zhuang Mingge, who was in a slightly relaxed mood, teased the old fox next to him.

"Don't say it too soon, Chairman Corleone, there are 90 minutes in a football game, and nothing can be decided until the referee blows the final whistle." Despite all his words, Moggi has already developed a hint of a problem with Peruzzi, and this kind of goalkeeper with obvious shortcomings can easily be infinitely magnified by opponents in the game.

Mo Lao Fox has already begun to wonder in his heart, where to "rob" a better goalkeeper......

At this time, Juventus, who were behind the score, had no choice but to take the initiative to attack.

Lippi knows very well that Fiorentina coach Ranieri started out defensively, and he doesn't think that Juventus, who are evenly matched, have enough jishu advantage to pull Fiorentina's defense out of the hole.

Since Jishu doesn't have the upper hand, let's use the best running to break the opponent!

Juventus' strengths are fitness and movement, and they have played this to the fullest, with Di Livio and Pexoto constantly attacking from the left, while Fiorentina interrupted Juventus' attacking rhythm with tight defence. And it didn't work out badly, with Di Livio and Pexoto failing to produce much of a threat under Fiorentina's targeted "care".

In the 23rd minute, Di Livio's cross from the left flank, Vialli pressed Filicano's header into the goal, the ball was lifted off the crossbar by Toldo, and then Juventus' corner kick was picked up from the air by Toldo, who jumped high;

In the 29th minute, Paulo Sousa shot from a long distance, and the ball was easily caught by Toldo;

In the 35th minute, Deschamps cut off Effenberg's pass and launched a quick counterattack, Piero split the side in time after receiving the ball, and Di Livio, who was inserted on the left side, met the ball and shot directly from a distance, and was held in Toldo's arms again.

"What a good goalkeeper...... "Moji muttered under his breath as he sat in the box.

Juventus's three shots were not very threatening, but the quality was very good, and the young goalkeeper of Fiorentina was able to block all these shots, and he didn't even leave a chance to make up for his team; At the same time, the time between these shots was more than five minutes, which shows that the young man is also quite focused during the game, and he is really a good seedling, but it is just ......

Mogi's gaze swept slightly over Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting next to him, and he felt that this ambitious young man would not be able to sell Toldo to Juventus so easily, and most of those "off-the-field methods" could not be used against Fiorentina, who had the protection of the Corleone family.

The last time under the oppression of the Agnelli family, Fiorentina was forced to sell two potential stocks to Juventus, if it didn't take long to use this trick again, the Corleone family would inevitably think that the Agnelli family was deliberately looking for trouble, if the two families had a conflict or even fought to the death, then the unlucky one must be the culprit.

It seems that if you want to take down Toldo, you have to wait for a suitable opportunity.

Thinking of this, Old Fox Mo couldn't help but secretly envy Zhuang Mingge, why is this young man's luck so good, and the young man he likes almost never looks away.

As time went on, Fiorentina's defense became tighter and Juventus' attack became more and more difficult. After all, Juventus, known as the old woman, often encounters this kind of tight defense, but an opponent of Fiorentina's level is not something that can be won casually.

Juventus' players kept running on the field, hoping to create scoring opportunities, but Fiorentina's defense was unmoved, Juventus attacked from whichever direction, Fiorentina would lay a lot of obstacles in that direction, and when Juventus shifted the direction of attack, Fiorentina moved like a moving Great Wall, leaving Juventus with no chance......

"When did Florence become so troublesome! It's not scientific! "This is the roar in the hearts of almost all Juventus players, they are not without experience in dealing with this kind of dense defense before, but their overall strength is higher than that of their opponents, so they can still win the game in all directions, and now they are dealing with this Fiorentina, so that many Juventus players, including coach Lippi, see the shadow of last season's AC Milan.

How is this possible! Lippi was a little incredulous, a little anxious in his heart, he finally waited until the Milanese slipped from the top, how could he let Fiorentina overpower Juventus again!

Although he was impatient, Lippi still pretended to be calm on the sidelines, pressed his hands down, signaled the players on the field not to be impatient, and asked them to give the ball to Piero more when attacking, so that he could play freely.

Seeing Lippi's movements, Ranieri couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether the player named Piero could have practiced several goals like Maradona.

How can it be! Ranieri was amused by his thoughts, Fiorentina's defensive system is not something that can be solved alone.

Piero, on the other hand, began to frequently carry the ball to the Fiorentina defense at the suggestion of the manager.

Fiorentina's defence remained flawless and Piero struggled to create good chances against them, but he did not waver as he also had his own strengths and strengths.

At this time, Piero's advantage is that he has a much more delicate jishu and creativity than the average Italian player.

If it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three times! There's always a chance to make a difference! Piero thought.

This situation lasted until the injury time of the first half, Juventus once again got the ball, Deschamps split the ball, Pesoto in the midfield slightly back of the position directly kicked a long pass, Piero saw the landing point of the ball, an acceleration, shook off Ferrara, the moment the ball flew to his side, did not stop the ball, picked up his left foot, and directly was a volley.

The ball made a graceful arc past Toldo, who leapt to the rescue, and fell into the door of Fiorentina.

The crowd at the Stadio Alp fell silent after Piero's goal, and then erupted in a sea of cheers, and the commentators praised Piero's stunning goal.

"Monsieur Moggie, now I think this young man named Piero has more appetite than Baggio." Zhuang Mingge, who was in the box, said to Mo Ji half-jokingly.

"Haha, Chairman Corleone, you can really joke, Piero is a player named by our big boss to focus on training, and I don't have the right to make decisions about his transfer." Old Fox Mo snorted and brought the topic to light.

"Really? That's a pity. Zhuang Mingge shrugged his shoulders with a regretful expression.

At this point, Barty and Inzaghi were back on the ball in the centre circle, and before the Fiorentina players could attack, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

In the twentieth minute of the first half, Fiorentina managed to take the lead away from home thanks to a set-piece opportunity, and then in the following period, they also withstood Juventus' counterattack, however, just before the end of the first half, Juventus youngster Piero scored a brilliant volley to equalize the score...... Now that we're half-time, what kind of changes will the managers of both sides make in the second half? Let's wait and see! ”
