“Gooooooal！ Fiorentina scored! Julio Cruz has scored! A wonderful header! Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay, if Cruise didn't choose to shoot with a lob but directly shook his head to hit the goal, Schmeichel, who was in front of the Argentine, could have saved the ball! Cruise's header in the penalty area was so terrible that it caught the Manchester United players off guard! ”

"Now Fiorentina have extended the aggregate advantage over the two legs to five to two! This means that Ferguson's United will have to score at least four goals in the coming period, while not allowing their opponents to score in order to guarantee them progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League! And now there is less than half an hour left until the end of the game! It was undoubtedly too whimsical for Manchester United to score four goals in a row to complete the comeback at this point, and Fiorentina are now infinitely close to the door to the semi-finals! ”

Cruise, who opened the scoring for his team, smiled and broke free from his teammates who were about to come up to celebrate his goal, ran quickly to the sideline dugout, hugged Capello and carried him on his shoulder. For the current manager of Fiorentina, Cruise has a lot of gratitude in his heart.

When Cruise agreed to move to Fiorentina in January this year, the Argentine centre-forward was very curious to ask, would Fiorentina, who is famous in Shijie football, take a fancy to himself as a nobody?

Cruise was surprised by Antonioni's answer: "It was our chairman who personally named you to join the team, and he thinks that your strength and characteristics can have a place in Fiorentina." ”

In this way, Zhuang Mingge, under the propaganda of Antonioni, was regarded by Cruise as the number one benefactor who led him out of the predicament; As for head coach Fabio Capello, he is another lucky star in Cruise's heart.

After Cruise arrived at Fiorentina, Capello gave him a lot of playing time, which also made Cruise grateful to Capello. After all, the four strikers of Barty, Vieri, Inzaghi and Ronaldo are too dazzling, and if Capello really just used him as the last substitute in the front line, no one would say much about it, who made him almost zero popularity in Europe?

"Hey, Julio, why don't you have to learn this with Robert? Don't put me down yet! Capello, who thought that his iron temperament had been destroyed by Cruise, shouted repeatedly.

Hearing Capello's shout, Cruise realized that his actions really seemed to be a little ...... Inappropriate? So, the Argentines who reacted quickly put Capello down.

"I'm sorry, boss, I really didn't mean to!" As Cruise spoke, he hurried back to his teammates - Effenberg and the others were watching his jokes on the pitch at this time, but these people clearly remembered how badly Carlos had been treated by his own coach in the next day's training.

"This kid ......" Capello looked at Cruise as if he was running for his life, and made up his mind that he must train the young man well tomorrow.

Fiorentina's goal left the United players a little chilled, after all, the aggregate score between the two sides had become five to two after Crus's goal, and Fiorentina still had two away goals in their hands, which means they had to score nearly four goals in the remaining time to progress to the last four.

Many of the players on the pitch are playing in the Champions League for the first time, and being young means that they are both energetic and driven, but on the other hand, they are inexperienced and it is difficult to stay calm in unexpected situations.

What's more, their spiritual leader, Cantona, is itself a super powder keg that blows up at a point.

As a result, after the restart, the Manchester United players who were eager to score began to move more and more during the game, and even began to use some rather dangerous moves when fighting for the ball, which also made the Fiorentina players a little angry.

Why can't you kick us in football, so you start kicking people? Are England's teams all such brutal guys?

Even the referee of this game couldn't stand the outrageous behavior of the Manchester United players, and there were really few teams that dared to knock Fiorentina's players on their backs at the Frankie Stadium.

Should they be said to be too enthusiastic to admit defeat? Or should I say that these people are stuffed with muscles in their heads?

As the referee, he should enforce the law impartially and punish the fouls of Manchester United players; In fact, this is Fiorentina's home stadium, and the decision should be slightly biased in favor of the home team.

The referee sighed, ready to warn United's enthusiastic players.

So, in the 78th minute of the game, when Cantona tackled Davis from behind to snatch the ball, the referee, who had endured for a long time, finally erupted.

A quick whistle blew and the referee blew a foul on Manchester United, awarded Fiorentina a set-piece at the back, then took out the red card from his pocket and flashed it towards Cantona!

"Red card! Manchester United captain Eric Cantona was sent off the pitch by the referee for that irrational back-tackle! ”

After Cantona was sent off by the referee, Ferguson, who knew that Manchester United was gone, was no longer obsessed with winning the game, but made substitution adjustments, replacing Roy Keane, who had the hottest temper on the field, and another striker, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, officially announcing the abandonment of the game.

That's where the Scottish manager's shrewdness comes in, and while he has been stubborn on many occasions and hungry for wins and titles, that doesn't mean Ferguson can't see the game at the moment.

You know, the current Manchester United team is a young guard through and through, not a mature team with first-class stars such as Paul Ince, Canchelski and Mark Hughes. They have been invincible in the Premier League this season thanks to Eric Cantona, and if it weren't for the French star's courageous push up front, United would have been beaten to the ground by the likes of Newcastle on this group of youngsters.

Therefore, Ferguson will be soberly aware that after Cantona was sent off the field with a red card, Manchester United has completely lost hope of a comeback without a spiritual leader.

Seeing that the opposite side took the initiative to admit defeat, Capello did not have the heart to let the players continue to fight with Manchester United on the field, after all, Fiorentina was not easy to play in the next few games, and there was no need to beat the water dogs again when the overall situation was decided, in case something happened, it would not be fun.

As a result, Capello also made a substitution, Effenberg and Davies were substituted, the former because he seemed to be a little unstable, and Capello was worried that the German would cause trouble on the field; The latter, on the other hand, suffered a minor injury after being tackled by Cantona, and Capello substituted him to protect him, while admonishing Di Biagio, who was still on the pitch, to restrain his temper and avoid cards.

In the end, Fiorentina defeated the visiting Manchester United 1-0 in the second leg with a header from substitute Cruise and became the first team to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League!
