Chapter 213: The Battle of the Bernabeu (Medium)
After receiving the ball, Costa began to move quickly directly in the middle, although his speed was not particularly fast, but Hierro and Michel, who were responsible for Real Madrid's defense in the middle, were still stuck in the Fiorentina penalty area, and the Portuguese midfielder ran through the middle circle of the stadium without a Real Madrid player rushing to defend him.
However, the Real Madrid players will not let Costa push in front of their goal so easily, and if that happens, they will probably drown in the saliva of the angry Real Madrid fans after the game - if any player can dribble the ball forward fifty or sixty meters at the Bernabeu, then what will we do with the annual dues paid on time? Keeping you bunch of trash?
Therefore, when the Real Madrid players saw that Costa was still planning to continue with the ball, they finally sent someone to stop the Portuguese, and the strong Alcotta rushed towards Costa's position, intending to organize this counterattack from Fiorentina. But he apparently forgot that Rui Costa's real killer move wasn't his flashy dribbling, but his precision-guided weapon-like passes.
Seeing Alcorta pressing, Costa unhurriedly poured the ball to his right foot, and with a slight shake of his right ankle at the Real Madrid backline that was exposed due to Alcorta's grabbing, the ball flew quickly past Alcorta's feet, passed through the Real Madrid backline, and fell to the feet of Filipe Inzaghi who pulled to the right side!
Flores, who was in charge of Real Madrid's left side of the defense, immediately turned back to chase back, and he did not cut forward when Michel took a corner, but stayed in his own half, and Inzaghi himself was not very fast with the ball, so the 30-year-old Flores was still able to quickly close the distance between himself and Inzaghi.
Inzaghi, who has been working hard in Serie A for more than a year, is no longer a rookie, he knows very well what his strengths and weaknesses are, so just when Flores was about to catch up with him, Inzaghi did not choose to continue to dribble the ball, but directly raised his right foot and passed a diagonal half-high ball!
The ball went around in an arc and flew directly into the Real Madrid penalty area!
Batistuta, who was inserted at high speed, accelerated and shook off Sanches's defense, and then used the inertia brought by acceleration to jump high, and in the face of the flying ball, it was directly a powerful header!
"Oooo Paco Buyo! Brilliant save, he blocked the ball with both hands, the ball grazed the crossbar and flew off the bottom line, Fiorentina won a corner! ”
"Batistuta's header is very big, jumping up in a high-speed sprint and diving straight into the bombardment, this series of actions is perfectly done! However, our goalkeeper Buyo was even more magical, he almost saved Real Madrid on the goal line! ”
"Buyo's performance this season has not been very good, and the successive goals conceded have made many fans think that the 37-year-old veteran has struggled to take on the role of Real Madrid's No. 1 goalkeeper, but the wonderful recovery just now shows that Paco is still a top goalkeeper worthy of our trust!"
The commentator at the Bernabeu Stadium desperately stirred up the emotions of the Real Madrid fans present, and while praising Real Madrid, he was also insinuating Fiorentina, hinting that Real Madrid would win this crucial game!
Like Zamorano not long ago, Batistuta is also holding his head in his hands at the moment, sighing for his failure to grasp this great opportunity, the header just now is quite perfect in terms of liliang and speed, but the angle is a little more correct, I thought that the 37-year-old Buyo should not have the strength to save the ball, but I didn't expect that this old guy would change the direction of the ball's flight and force the bottom line......
Fiorentina's corner was taken by Costa, and the Portuguese stood in front of the corner with his hands on his hips, observing the situation in the Real Madrid penalty area.
Compared with Real Madrid, Fiorentina's altitude advantage is quite obvious, today's starting eleven, in addition to Davies and Di Biagio and right-back Bilindley is less than 1.8 meters tall, the other eight are all above 1.8 meters tall - 1.88 meters Effenberg, 1.87 meters Nesta, 1.85 meters Batistuta, 1.88 meters Inzaghi, Costa, Lanna and Ferrara......
As a result, when Fiorentina took a corner kick, except for Billindeli and Davies who stayed behind to guard against Real Madrid's counterattack, a large group of Fiorentina players wearing purple jerseys all crowded into the penalty area, which brought a lot of psychological pressure to Real Madrid players.
To say that the height of Real Madrid players is not low, Hierro is 1.87 meters tall, and the air defense level is also quite superb, but the rest of Real Madrid is not very good: Sanches Jr. and Alcorta, the two starting central defenders, are less than 1.8 meters tall, and the two full-backs are only 1.75 meters......
As for Real Madrid's midfield, in addition to Hierro, Michel, Amavisca and Luis Enrique are all over 1.8 meters tall, but given their physicality and the Spanish attackers' reluctance to participate in defense, it is a bit unreliable to expect them to be able to tell their defensive goals......
Hierro stood in the penalty area, staring at the black line of the Fiorentina guys, who were clearly a cut above their team-mates.
These Florentine guys are too tall too!
After the referee blew the whistle for a corner, the Fiorentina players began to run back and forth in the penalty area to try to disrupt the opponent's backline, and the Real Madrid defenders could only try their best to keep an eye on the opponent's most dangerous player, Hierro followed Batistuta's side, after all, this guy is the most threatening......
But in addition to Batty's high point, Fiorentina have other players who can compete for headers.
Costa drove the ball out of the box, and with a lot of high points in the box, what he had to do was make the ball fly in a more curvacant way for the attackers to attack than for the opposition to clear.
Batistuta, who was originally at the back post, began to accelerate to the middle, and Hierro immediately followed, but the ball did not fall on the head of the Argentine god of war, but flew over him and flew directly to the back post of the goal!
Jumping high there, it was the teenager Nesta! And the defender next to him was Shen Duo, who was 1.75 meters tall.
The height difference of 12 centimeters made the aging Shenduo not jump at all, but just watched Nesta jump up and hit the goal with his head violently against the ball!
With plenty of time to adjust, Nesta deliberately topped an angle when attacking the goal, and the ball flew straight to the top right corner of the goal!
In the face of this close-range header, the angle is still so tricky, even if Buyo is possessed by the souls of Banks, Zoff and other seniors, there is no way to react in such a short time!
So Buyo only had time to turn his head to look at the ball, and then he heard the sound of the ball rubbing against the net, and the referee's whistle announcing that the goal was valid.
Just seven minutes into the game, Fiorentina took the lead at the Santiago Bernabeu! 1 to 0!
