According to the UEFA schedule, the first leg of the two sides will be held at the Alpi Stadium, Juve’s home stadium, which is quite favorable news for Florence-in the knockout stage, a first-come-first schedule will give Florence a certain advantage in the semi-final two rounds.
Last weekend’s great victory against AC Milan seemed to give Lippi and Juventus players a lot of confidence. When interviewed by reporters before the game, many Juventus players said that they had not played their role in the league for various reasons this season. This semi-final of the Champions League proved that the Bianconeri had the best strength. A well-organized stage will surely defeat Florence!
And the Fiorentina players sneered at Juve in private. You guys can’t beat us in the league. When we get to the Champions League, we can turn around? Dream on!
……
"Ha ha, President Corleone, this is the first time for Juventus to participate in the Champions League semi-final in the last ten years. I hope your team will show mercy." Moggi is playing with Zhuang Ge in the VIP box of Alpi Stadium. "If I lose too badly, I’m afraid our fans will tie me to the cross and burn me to ashes."
Zhuang Ge knows in his heart that this is just an old fox showing his weakness. Of course, he won’t be easy. This old fox has to be polite on the surface. "Oh, Manager Moggi, who doesn’t know that Juventus is a big force in Italian football? We are very satisfied that Florence can come here and get away."
"Hehe, Chairman Corleone, you think too highly of our Juventus." Moggi said this in his mouth but lamented Zhuang Ge’s words in his heart. Who doesn’t know that AC Milan was given the second bottle of 7-up by you at their own home? How dare you be so arrogant at the San Siro Stadium? Would you stop in Florence if you switched to the Alpi Stadium? Are you kidding ghosts? !
After a polite ceremony, Zhuang Ge and Moggi sat in their seats respectively and did not try to talk again. Both of them knew very well that they had nothing to say with each other. After all, Juventus and Florence were veritable sworn enemies in every way.
"After a game, Juventus discharged a set of four-four-two goalkeeper peruzzi. The four defenders are Pesoto, Blanc, Montero and Torricelli; In midfield, two Frenchmen, Deschamps and Zida, held up the backbone of the Bianconeri midfielder Di livio and Yugoslav Jugovic, who were responsible for their support. Forward zebra Wang Deer pierrot and Croatian center Boksic partnered with Marcello Lippi to send their main players in this game! "
Lippi is quite satisfied with the players who are constantly running on the court, but one thing still makes Silver Fox feel a little uneasy, that is, Juventus is now the striker.
It’s so unstable! This is the silver fox’s evaluation of the team’s front line. It is obviously still too dangerous to attack the team in pierrot after Viali and Laouali left. Although the zebra king’s siege and siege is first-class in Europe, Boksic, Amoruso and others are not strong in scoring. At this time, Zida is more regarded as an organization. The scoring potential has not been completely released, and the goal is over-reliant on pierrot. This is the main reason why Juve fell behind in the Florence championship competition-compared with those opponents in Atletico Madrid Serie A, they are obviously better at dealing with Juventus.
Fabio Capello, the coach of the team in Florence, obviously led the team to the Alpi Stadium with a defensive counterattack mentality, which can be seen from the starting lineup of Florence.
Goalkeepers toldo Roberto Carlos and Zambrotta form the starting full-back and central defender, while Stam and Sta’s Dutch air defense ability and Sta’s ability are enough to make Florence’s defense line impregnable.
In front of Starr and Stam are Dibiagio and Davis, who are responsible for protecting the defence from the direct impact of the Juventus striker and also for the midfield sweep; Lei Dongduo and effenberg jointly organized Florence to attack and control the team, and the rhythm of the game also fell on their shoulders.
Strikers Ronaldo and vieri became Capello’s first choice, but batistuta and Inzaghi were not chosen. On the one hand, they played a full game against Inter Milan at the weekend, and their physical fitness and game status were difficult to be improved. On the other hand, it is Capello who lost the election because of the tactical considerations of the team in this game. After all, vieri is faster than the Argentine God of War.
Therefore, in other respects, Capello naturally chose vieri with stronger mechanical power and better physical strength.
Bati and Inzaghi also expressed their understanding of Capello’s arrangement, not to say that they really have no idea that they can’t start in the game, but they have been unconsciously infected by Zhuangge’s efforts to build a club culture in recent years.
What are the characteristics of Florence? Loyalty! It is the loyalty and intention to the club that makes Florence have a large number of stars in the first team, and the situation has not caused any chaos when it comes out of the game.
I have to say that Capello’s thinking is quite right. Because Boksic has dragged down Juventus’ ability to attack and attack in the game, Florence’s defensive counterattack posture on the road just hit the most deadly place of the Bianconeri. The speed of attacking Ronaldo is not vegetarian, and one counterattack is enough to make Juventus fall into perdition. If you don’t attack, Capello’s shameless degree, the gold medal coach, is likely to shrink his team’s line and build an iron bucket array in the square half, and just keep a score and it’s over
In the face of this dilemma, Lippi has no good solution. After all, Capello has made a fuss, but he is eyeing Juventus’ weakness to hit him. What can he do?
The only thing Silver Fox can do is to command the players on the sidelines and prepare them to storm the Florence defense. If they don’t win at home, the second leg of the Bianconeri will be in danger.
After all, Frankie Stadium is the home of a famous Italian devil.
Chapter 447 Alpine War ()
“Gooooooal！ Ronaldo! The goal is Ronaldo! Florence has a very sharp and quick counterattack! The alien’s excellent human-ball combination ability and first-class explosive force made him tear Juventus’ seemingly solid defense into pieces! Now Florence leads Juventus 1-0 in the first leg! "
Ronaldo’s goal happened in the 43rd minute, when almost the whole half-time was spent in the rest running. Juve players were a little tired at the end of the game, but Fiorentina players seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack and finally turned it into a goal.
Lei Dongduo broke Jugovic’s ball to Zida with a lateral move, and the Argentine immediately gave it to effenberg before Juventus’ counter-attack. Before receiving the ball, he observed the situation ahead. The German tiger kicked a header without stopping!
Ronaldo, who has been cruising in Juventus’ defence, saw Lei Dongduo’s ball move and immediately started to fly in the direction of the ball!
Montero, the bravest of Juve’s four starting defenders, turned around and jumped at the Brazilian for the first time, intending to put Ronaldo down to the ground with a tactical foul-the Uruguayan was very clever, and he knew what would happen if Ronaldo received the ball, so he resolutely chose to foul to interrupt Florence’s counterattack, even if he got a yellow card, Montero admitted it.
However, Montero is obviously not fast enough. After a few steps, Ronaldo’s opponent Uruguayan is very embarrassed to find that he has been further and further down by the Brazilian …
The feeling be nasty Montero suddenly threw himself out in the direction of Ronaldo, and his feet were facing the steel nails on the soles of the aliens’ calves, and the lights on the stadium were shining with gloomy cold light …
"I depend! This is fucking playing football or kicking people! " I was so angry when I saw Montero playing the ball in the box. After all, from which point of view, Montero’s tackle was not going for the ball. The Uruguayan central defender, who is notorious in Italian football, had a clear intention of flying a shovel behind his feet to abolish the aliens and let Ronaldo get injured directly.
If Montero gets it, isn’t it that Van Basten was forced to retire due to injury after being beaten by Marseille defender Boli in the Champions League final? !
Zhuang Ge is not the only one who swore at Montero at this moment. Many Florence supporters sent their curses to Montero at the same time.
Moggi’s face is also a little ugly. Although he pays more attention to the result of the game, it doesn’t mean that Mo Lao Fox doesn’t care about the face and the image of Juventus club. Montero made such a killing in the highly anticipated Champions League semi-final. What does this make others think of Juventus? A team of butcher and executioners?
However, Juve general manager Moggi can’t complain about Montero. After all, the Uruguayan’s attitude of focusing on the game still makes Mo Lao Fox very recognized, but the expression is too intense …
Just before Montero was about to succeed, Ronaldo suddenly accelerated forward as if he had eyes in his back, and narrowly escaped the Uruguayan flying shovel. Then he raised his right foot and unloaded the effenberg long ball firmly!
At this moment, Montero is still lying on the grass surface because of the bad flying shovel just now, and Blanc is still on the other side. Two full-backs of vieri, Pesoto and Torricelli, are rapidly returning from Florence. Yu Deshang, the French midfielder, is far away from Ronaldo because he rushed over to try to steal the Germans when he played in effenberg …
Peruzzi is the only Juventus player in front of Ronaldo! Florence got an excellent chance to rewrite the score!
The alien didn’t live up to Florence’s expectation to form a single-handed situation. He shook peruzzi with a series of false moves and then shot with his right foot to help Florence take the lead in the away game!
Just as Ronaldo and his teammates celebrated the goal in the stands where the Florence fans were located, Montero received a severe warning from the referee. The Uruguayan central defender was clearly seen by the referee just now for deliberate foul. Although it did not cause any serious consequences, the referee on duty in this game had written Montero on his list of key photos in his mind.
After the game was resumed, Montero immediately felt the indifference from the referee. When attacking or defending, a player fell to the ground in a fight with Montero, or when the Uruguayan moved a little too much, the referee whistle sounded to punish Montero for a foul.
What’s more, when Montero Juve took a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt to head Jugovic’s corner kick into toldo to guard the goal, the Uruguayan’s very domineering goal was determined by the referee that he had fouled Sta first, so the goal was effective. Montero glared at the referee and kept talking to the referee about what the result was that he was added a yellow card by the referee.
Seeing this scene, the game commentator gloated in the broadcast room and commented, "It seems that Montero paid a heavy price for his previous malicious foul. Not only was he tied down by the referee whistle in the game, but a goal with no objection was also ruled as a foul first … Uruguayans really stole the chicken this time. If he hadn’t nailed Ronaldo behind his back, I’m afraid Juventus would have equalized the score."
Lippi was worried that Montero would be taken care of by the referee, so he lost control and caused more chaos. So in the 59th minute of the game, iuliano changed to Uruguayan.
After this substitution, the referee’s anger seems to have disappeared with Montero’s field, and Juventus finally came out of the tied state and launched a fierce counterattack against Florence with the support of the home fans.
In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes at half-time, the Bianconeri’s attack is more due to the excellent skills and dribbling skills of Lizida and pierrot, and these opportunities are used to create frontcourt positioning balls to impact Florence’s gate.
Juventus players were lucky enough that their slightly monotonous play was successful in the 60th minute. Zida attacked the ball on the left side of the court. Blank jumped out of the crowd and threw the ball into the door behind toldo!
One to one! Juventus equalized the score!
Chapter 44 Reproduction of Disputes
After Blanc scored, Capello was on the scene to dispatch his troops. First, tommasi changed, and Davis got a yellow card in the game and asked him to keep an eye on Zida. At the same time, Capello also changed angloma. In Di livio and Pesoto, they joined forces to attack Zambrotta, who was a little weak, to strengthen the team’s defense
"Tell Alessandro to keep an eye on pierrot and tell others not to foul Juventus players easily within 30 meters." These were the last words Capello said to tommasi before he was present.
Capello’s goal is simple: tommasi and others will strangle Juventus’ possession points, so as to reduce the old lady’s chances of scoring by setting the ball in the frontcourt.
Capello’s move was quite effective this time. Because Florence players tied up the fence at Capello’s instruction, they easily didn’t foul Juventus players in the 30-meter area, and focused on pierrot and Zida and other players with excellent ball control ability, which greatly reduced the number of balls Juventus got in the frontcourt.
In the twelfth minute, Capello made the last substitution adjustment of the game and Juventus’ defense line crashed in the middle of the game. vieri was replaced by Fiorentina fans and Cruz, the super substitute, got a chance
Although there are less than ten minutes before the end of the game, Cruise is still on the scene to conscientiously complete the coach’s instructions to catch the ball and counter-grab the shot. All the moves are systematic and unremitting.
The Argentine striker’s hard work and seriousness in the game made him get a good chance to break the goal soon. Only four minutes after the presence, Cruise helped iuliano make a man-marking mistake, received Carlos’ goal and threw the ball at Juventus!
Cruise watched himself head out of the header and felt in his heart that the shot must have been made. He believed in his feelings and watched peruzzi move. The Argentine thought that even if he could touch the ball, it would be after the ball crossed the goal line.
However, something unexpected happened. peruzzi, who was standing in front of Juventus’ gate, fished out the ball with his right hand after a hurry, and then tried his best to throw it out!
Seeing this scene, all the players focused on the referee’s body. The Fiorentina players thought that peruzzi had crossed the goal line before completing the save, and peruzzi was deliberately interfering with the referee’s decision. Juventus, on the other hand, firmly believe that Cruz’s shot was successfully blocked by peruzzi, and the Florentine’s point of view is unreasonable
Just then, the big screen of the stadium was playing slow motion playback, which clearly and wrongly showed that the ball had crossed the goal line by half a meter before peruzzi fished it out …
This irrefutable evidence allows Juve’s player law to continue to refute and stop the game and look to the referee to see what kind of penalty this guy will make.
Seeing that the players stopped the game and focused on themselves, the referee did not change his penalty because of the replay of the game, but made a gesture to the players, which meant nothing more than Florence’s shooting effect. The game continued
The referee’s expression made Juventus players unhappy, but at the same time angered Fiorentina player effenberg, who repeatedly asked questions and annoyed the referee, the German tiger, so he got a yellow card, which also meant that effenberg would miss the second leg.
Seeing that the Germans still haven’t given up, several Juventus players around them have quite tacitly surrounded effenberg and the referee in order to let effenberg "calm down".
However, when they were separated, iuliano and Deschamps pushed the Germans a few times, which stirred up a hornet’s nest. Naturally, Florence players could not see their vice captain being bullied like this, especially iuliano, a traitor.
So tommasi, Di Biagio, Carlos, Stam and other players rushed over and glared at Juventus players. Why don’t you try again?
When the referee saw the strong smell of gunpowder, his first reaction was not to calm the mood of the players on both sides, but to take out a yellow card in his coat pocket and get a new round of yellow card delivery.
"Karin, I remember this referee is from Spain, right?" Zhuang Ge looked at the scene with some embarrassment and imitated Santa Claus’s "gift package". The referee asked doubtfully.
