Chapter 227: Unexpected

It is customary to ask for a recommendation vote at the beginning, and thank you very much for the tips and evaluation votes of all readers......

"Oooh! Juventus had a dangerous shot at the start of the second half, and Pierrot's agility and attacking talent were a huge threat to any team, especially with Lippi replaced by a playmaker in midfield like Jugovic, and the Zebra finally showed signs of breaking out in the first half...... Fiorentina have to be careful at the back, Juventus has gained momentum under Jugovic's command, and if they play against each other at the Alp Stadium like they did in the first half, it's hard to say what the final result will be......" After a sigh, Rao was very quick to give his opinion from the perspective of a football professional.

While Rao was chattering about the game, Jugovic stood in the bottom left corner to take a corner, Juventus players swarmed in the Fiorentina penalty area to grab points, and the height of the two central defenders, Iuliano (187cm) and Blanc (192cm), was clearly a point that Juventus could use to make a big fuss, after all, compared to Fiorentina, whose highest height was only 1.88m excluding the goalkeeper, Juventus had the advantage in high balls......

Jugovic took a corner kick and looked for Blank's high spot, who jumped high and was ready to flick his head directly at the top of the ball......

However, Toldo succeeded in stopping Juventus again, he took a corner kick from Jugovic and smashed the ball directly out of the box with two fists, after all, Toldo is not only four centimeters taller than Blank in height, but as a goalkeeper he can also catch the ball with his hands in the penalty area, and Blank naturally has no chance if he does not make low-level mistakes.

The falling Toldo and Blank fell together, and the ball that rolled out of the box bounced to the feet of Effenberg, and Fiorentina immediately launched a quick counterattack on the spot!

Effenberg quickly passed the ball to Rui Costa, and the Portuguese began to break down the right flank, dragging Deschamps, who was in charge of defending against Fiorentina in front of Zuihou, as he ran back and loudly instructed his teammates to return.

Pexoto chased down Costa from behind, and as both of his centre-backs had run into the box to participate in the attack, he and another full-back, Torricelli, naturally dragged themselves in front of the team's formation to defend against the opposition, and the return was more timely. With Didier Deschamps in the middle, Torricelli on the right, and Pesotho gradually shortening the distance with Costa, only a few of Juventus' defenders have kept up with Fiorentina's counter-attacking speed, and others such as Iuliano and Blank are still running wild in Fiorentina's half......

Seeing Batistuta's high-speed run down the middle to attract Didier Deschamps' attention, and with Pexoto getting closer and closer to him behind him, Costa was smart enough to play the ball long to Djokaev, who was picking up on the other side of the pitch, to allow the Frenchman, who was better at breaking through, to complete the counter-attack.

However, Torricelli has a lot of experience in the game, and he knew that it would be difficult for him to defend the Frenchman's breakthrough in a one-on-one situation, so he reached out and pulled down the opponent directly at the moment when Djokaew stopped receiving the ball, and gave Fiorentina a free kick 30 meters away from the goal, which was considered a temporary solution to the crisis.

The referee's whistle blew and he ran to the scene of the incident before showing Torricelli a yellow card.

Torricelli shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, and retreated directly to the area he should be responsible for, and was mentally prepared for the result of his own card when he pulled down Djokaeff, after all, Djokaeff did not form a chance to kill, his foul was quite far from the goal, and the referee gave a punishment of a yellow card at most.

After the start of the second half, the two sides tested each other with attacks, and the game entered a brutal tug-of-war.

Fiorentina and Juventus engaged in a fierce tug-of-war for the next 30 minutes, and although Fiorentina were playing away, they did not fall behind in the slightest - in the second 30 minutes, Fiorentina had a total of six shots on goal, two of which hit the woodwork; Juventus, on the other hand, had five shots on goal, also twice in the woodwork, and it was clear that the two teams were evenly matched in terms of the number of dangerous shots on goal......

Lippi paid off after bringing on Jugovic, with the Yugoslavs leading the team back to a first-half slump and a close match with Fiorentina for 30 minutes...... But this is obviously not enough, after all, Juventus are still two goals behind Fiorentina, and it is very unwise to pin the hope of picking points on luck when the two sides are evenly matched, and Coach Lippi needs to make more adjustments to the team...... "As soon as Rao's words fell, Juventus made a substitution:

Atilio Lombardo on!

"Pulsatilla" Lavanelli is gone!

Lippi's substitution intentions are obvious, and the current Fiorentina team on the field is weak in attack and defense, especially when there is only one full-time defender in the midfield, Fiorentina's weak wing defense has obviously become a breakthrough for Juventus.

Ranieri was not a fool either, and the tinker immediately responded to Lippi's adjustment: he replaced Inzaghi with Kripa in an attempt to strengthen Fiorentina's defense in midfield, leaving Batistuta alone to play as a lone striker.

Zhuang Mingge was so angry when he saw Ranieri's substitution adjustment in the box that he almost didn't drop the cup in his hand, he didn't expect Ranieri to coax again at this juncture, replacing a striker and replacing a defensive midfielder, which is not clear to tell Juventus: You come and let go of the attack, we can't attack......

The trend of the game was also as Zhuang Mingge feared, Juventus, who had reduced defensive pressure, became more and more offensive in the ten minutes of Zuihou, completely pressing Fiorentina back into their own half, and the balance of the game was completely tilted in Juve's side, and the situation of Fiorentina began to become dangerous.

In the eighty-third minute, Blank, who was dribbling the ball in the backfield, suddenly stepped forward, and passed the ball to Yugovic after breaking through the defense of Costa and Effenberg in a row, Yugovic advanced with the ball and gave the ball to Pierrot on the left side of the penalty area. The score became 1 to 2!

After the fourth official raised his card for three minutes of stoppage time, Juve's players attacked more aggressively and their efforts were rewarded. In the first minute of stoppage time, Kripa fouled Jugovic and Juventus won a free-kick from 21 meters from goal, and Pierrot calmly curled a ball to help Juventus equalize!

Two to two! Juventus, who were two goals behind at one point, equalized the score in the Zuihou moment!
