Canizares and Djukic looked at each other, both of them felt a little incredulous about what had just happened, and said in their hearts how could they make such a mistake and actually gave each other a chance to push the empty goal in vain!

Actually, it's not surprising that Canizares would make such a mistake. While Valencia are experts at counter-attacking, that doesn't mean they're just as good at dealing with this tactic. What's more, in the Spanish arena, which generally believes in "attack or die", it is not easy to meet a master of defense and counterattack.

Therefore, the Valencia players, who usually lack training in this area, will make such a low-level mistake in this defense, and go to surround Shevchenko who is dribbling the ball, and invariably let go of Vieri, who is outflanked in the middle, and the result is that the opponent easily gets a chance to hit an empty goal!

At this time, after seeing the referee announce Vieri's goal valid, the Fiorentina fans in the stands of the Stade de France erupted into huge cheers like a volcanic eruption!

"One to zero! Shevchenko drew the attention of Canizares and Djukic and then played a clever pass to Vieri, who smashed an empty goal to help Fiorentina break the deadlock on the pitch! The commentator, who had been waiting for most of the game, finally had the opportunity to show his passion to the audience in front of the TV, shouting in the loudest decibel voice he could release, "The situation in Valencia is already dangerous, if Coach Cooper can't think of a solution, then the Champions League championship will be destined to be in Fiorentina's pocket!" ”

The commentator was right, and even though the game was almost forty minutes away, it was clear to all discerning people that Fiorentina, who had already led by one goal, had in fact taken full control of the game. Next, the Fiorentina players only need to continue to stick to the previous tactical play, so Valencia, who can't think of a way to deal with it, can basically be said to have no chance to take advantage of it, so they can only obediently disarm and surrender!

After all, in the period leading up to Vieri's goal, Fiorentina had defused several counter-attacks by Canizares, but they still posed a huge threat to Valencia's goal. On the other hand, Valencia, don't look at their attack, once the ball is passed within 30 meters of the Fiorentina gate, the Bat Army's offensive will immediately fall into an extremely difficult situation!

In fact, without Mendieta's commanding movement and passing in midfield, López would not have had a couple of chances on goal, let alone threaten Fiorentina's goal.

After the goal, Vieri did not rush to celebrate the goal with his teammates who gathered around, but ran under the stands where the Fiorentina fans gathered, took off his jersey, and threw it into the stands!

Vieri's action sparked another loud cheer and fierce scramble from the Fiorentina fans, and in the end, the lucky winner who managed to grab the Fiorentina number 32 shirt was a kid who looked to be in his early teens!

Although the Fiorentina fans sitting around were envious and jealous of this child's luck, their cheeks were not thick enough to rob a child, so they had to look at this lucky person with envy from the sidelines.

"What a blessing! I was able to grab Vieri's jersey, and it seems that it was the right decision to come to watch the game this time! Holding Vieri's shirt in his arms, the twelve-year-old Karim Benzema happily thought, "If only I could be like Vieri in the future, I can be invincible on the pitch!" ”

At this moment, no one realizes what a far-reaching impact Vieri's shirt thrown out of excitement has had on a French child who has just learned football! It wasn't until a star-to-star battle a decade later that the impact of the incident really played its role, leaving all the teams involved in it stunned and lamenting that Fiorentina's ideological work really started as a baby......

At the same time, after seeing Vieri's goal, Cooper, who had been nervously standing in front of the dugout watching the game, lowered his expressionless head and kicked the turf in frustration. The Argentine coach is also aware of how unfavorable the current situation is for Valencia.

If nothing else, Fiorentina's goal alone was enough to mess up the Valencia players, who lacked experience in major tournaments, for a while. After all, although the Bat Army, which pursues defensive counterattack tactics, is the side that is passively beaten and waiting for opportunities most of the time, and this has somewhat exercised the psychological endurance of Valencia players in a certain course, but on such an important occasion as the Champions Cup final, the psychological elements that Valencia players have exercised are a little insufficient, and they will definitely be flustered for a period of time when they are inexperienced when they are behind the score, which will affect their performance in the game. And this time is the best chance for Fiorentina to further counterattack and expand the score!

Unfortunately, although Cooper could see the advantages of the Fiorentinal side, he could not think of a way to deal with it. Thanks to the hard work of Ranieri, Capello and Heynckes, Fiorentina's tactical system has matured and perfected, and Cooper, no matter how capable he is, will not be able to come up with a solution to the current dilemma in a hurry.

If they insist on attacking, then Fiorentina will definitely continue to play defensive counter-attacks, Vieri and Shevchenko will still have a lot of counter-attacking opportunities with the support of Redondo and Effenberg; And if they shrink their defence, then they will likely face the same suffocating defensive battle as at the beginning of the game! It is believed that the players of Heynckes and Fiorentina will be happy to maintain a one-goal lead until the end of the game.

Don't overestimate the discipline of the Italian team, even if it is a giant club like Fiorentina, which has a huge reputation in Europe - AC Milan, which was famous in Europe at the time, could be deployed by Capello before the Champions League final, and finally beat Barcelona with the "dream team", and the 4-0 victory is still talked about by many fans.

Therefore, against Fiorentina, also from Italy, Cooper felt that his best defensive counter-attack suddenly became useless, because when the opponent would not take the initiative at all, Valencia's counter-attack naturally could not be mentioned.

So, to turn the tide of the game, Cooper must find a new way!

However, while Cooper was meditating on the sidelines about the game's countermeasures, on the pitch, Fiorentina once again sounded the horn of counterattack!
