Chapter 224: Leading!
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......
Iuliano's eyes were glued to the ball falling from the air, constantly moving his position, ready to destroy Fiorentina's attack at the first opportunity, and of course, he would not forget Batistuta, who was also planning to snatch the ball, and while moving, he was constantly paying attention to the movement of Barty, who was scrambling for the landing point next to him.
Although it has been more than a year since he left Fiorentina, Iuliano will never forget the horror of this Argentine center forward, when he was still in the second division, Batistuta often played directly opposite himself in the team's training, and no one in the Juventus team knows Batty's strength and jishu characteristics better than him, even if he transferred from Florence to Pesotho at the same time as himself.
Therefore, Giuliano's purpose is to prevent Barty from getting the ball and forming a one-handed position on his own goal, he believes that as long as he can stop Barty for a few seconds, then when Blank catches up with the Argentine, Barty, who is not good at dribbling, will definitely lose the ball, and Fiorentina's attack will be considered a successful block.
But what Iuliano didn't expect happened, when he was still four or five meters away from the Juventus penalty area, Batistuta jumped high, his eyes fixed on the ball flying from the side behind, as if he was going to head directly at this distance!
I'll it! No way?! When did the old captain have such a strong liliang and bounce power? You can catch a ball of this height here! I've never seen it before! Amazed by Barty's astonishing move, Iuliano jumped to his feet to intercept the header from the front.
Blank and Iuliano's attention was attracted by Batistuta, who jumped up early to compete for the header, as soon as he saw Batty jump first, Iuliano subconsciously jumped up with the Argentine center, and Blanke, who was not far behind Batty, was desperately rushing forward, trying to affect Batty's dueling below, so that he could not use Liliang when he hit the goal with a header.
But instead of landing on any of the three of them, the ball flew high over their heads!
Barty used his own as bait and managed to fool Juventus' only two defenders besides the goalkeeper!
Batistuta caught the attention of two Juventus centre-backs with an early jump and kept them firmly at his side, creating a great chance for his partner Philippe Inzaghi to open the scoring! Inzaghi went it alone! Rao exclaimed, as a professional football commentator, he knows how to mobilize the emotions of the crowd.
Inzaghi caught the ball with ease unguarded as he burst into the Juventus penalty area. A few meters behind him, Batistuta and Iuliano fell to the ground at the same time, just in time to block Blank, who was about to rush back to defend, while Juventus goalkeeper Peruzzi had just run out of the small penalty area......
As a goal-scoring striker, Inzaghi has a hundred ways to get the ball into the door behind Peruzzi in a one-on-one face with the goalkeeper, and this time he chose the safest one - facing Peruzzi who abandoned the goal, Inzaghi took a big step with his right foot and passed through the left side of Peruzzi, who fell to the ground to save.
In the face of a whole empty goal, Pippo did not drag the slightest mud and water, and directly pushed the ball into the goal of Juventus!
“Goooooal! The ball is in! It was Philippe Inzaghi who scored the goal! He waded past the opposing goalkeeper Peruzzi and pushed the empty goal! 1 to 0! Fiorentina take the lead at Juventus' home stadium! ”
'Inzaghi should be thankful to his partner, if it weren't for Barty's deliberate early jump to deceive the two Juventus defenders, he would have had a hard time getting the ball, let alone slotting it alone.
Inzaghi's performance was in line with Rao's commentary, and after the goal, he opened his arms and yelled at his captain, thanking him for covering for him. Barty hugged Inzaghi and celebrated the goal with him.
After the restart, Juventus, who were behind the score, began to prepare for a counterattack to equalize, but the Juventus players who lacked the core of the organization were unconsciously divided into two factions on the field, one wanted to immediately launch a fierce attack on Fiorentina's goal to equalize as soon as possible, and the other group planned to hold the first half of the Zuihou period, and wait until halftime for the manager to adjust, so as not to concede another goal due to the team's excessive pressure, after all, one goal behind and two goals behind are completely different things......
In the absence of unity of thought, Juventus's formation of the whole team after the kick-off was clearly disjointed. The wide gap between the attacking and defensive players gave Fiorentina the opportunity to extend their lead, and the passing of Costa and others was on full display during this time, constantly passing the ball directly into the open space in front of the Juventus defence, and then the two strikers of Barty and Inzaghi completed the shot.
As a result, only five minutes after the last goal, Fiorentina made a comeback, Vialli's long shot outside the Fiorentina penalty area was blocked by Ferrara, Di Biagio got this clearance ball and immediately passed the ball to Costa in front of him, and Rui Costa received Di Biagio's pass in the middle circle of the stadium and hit the ball directly to the front of the Juventus penalty area.
Batistuta received the ball with his back, Iuliano was behind Barty to prevent him from turning and shooting, and Blank on the other side was trying to take advantage of his height and leg length to break the ball from Barty's feet.
How can this situation stump Batistuta?
I saw the Argentine wave his arm to block a sneak attack by Blank, and then leaned back, squeezed Iulliano away with a basketball low post back singles, and took advantage of this moment of gap to immediately turn around and volley vigorously, the ball quickly pierced into the door of Juve, Peruzzi, who was blocked by his teammates, had to announce the surrender of this kind of shot, and Fiorentina extended its lead, 2-0!
Seeing such a passive situation, the silver fox Lippi, who had been silent on the sidelines, finally became angry, and after Fiorentina scored their second goal of the game, Lippi yelled angrily on the sidelines, judging from the footage captured by the cameras at the scene, there was no lack of some rather discordant words in Lippi's shouting......
The Juventus players who were roared by Lippi finally came to their senses, and in the first half of Zuihou, all the Juventus players gave up attacking and defending with all their might, and finally the whistle sounded at the end of the first half.
At the end of the first half, Fiorentina led Juventus 2-0!
