Seeing the ball being pushed out by Blank, the Fiorentine fans in the stands made a disappointment, and then gave warm applause to Vieri, who was struggling to head the ball and Redondo, who gave this wonderful long pass!

However, soon these applause turned into the exclamation of Fiorentine fans and the cheers of Juventus fans!

Because after defending the sudden attack in Fiorentina, Juventus' side immediately launched a counterattack!

Although Lippi's tactics before the game were defensive counterattacks, and in extremes, it could even be said to be an iron barrel formation, but when the ball was already at his own feet, the players of the Zebra Legion could still try to attack.

However, they should not invest too much troops in the attack, so as not to be seized by the opponent to counterattack, which would be more than worth the loss.

The ball that Blank pushed out was taken out by Montero in front of Ronaldo as soon as it flew out of the penalty area. Compared to physical fitness, the Uruguayan central defender, known for his fierce defense, is much stronger than the aliens. In the meantime, Montero opened his hands and blocked Ronaldo behind him, and then quickly passed the ball to Deschamps in front.

When Deschamps stopped the ball, Effenberg appeared quietly behind the French midfielder, stretched out his right foot and poked the ball towards the ball!

Deschamps is not a fledgling rookie. He has been very experienced and has been prepared for Effenberg's move and directly divided the ball to the side. Toricec got the ball smoothly and then started to accelerate and break through along the right!

Although Toricelli's breakthrough was quite decisive and his dribbling speed was not slow, Robert Carlos was obviously better at speed. The Brazilian who quickly returned to defense was entangled with Toricelli, and then both fell to the ground in the battle.

The referee Kragg rushed to the site of the accident and judged Carlos' foul, and also gave Juventus a free kick in the frontcourt near the sideline.

Seeing this, Montero and Blanc immediately rushed into Fiorentina's penalty area - obviously, although Lippi indeed planned to use defense to deal with Fiorentina, this does not mean that the Silver Fox completely gave up the offense. Like a quick counterattack, frontcourt set-pieces are also one of the important scoring methods for the Zebras in this game.

So, just when Zidane, who was responsible for taking the free kick, adjusted the ball, in the penalty area of ​​Fiorentina, the players on both sides were squeezed into a group, and they both wanted to push the opponent away to gain more room for play, so the scene seemed quite chaotic for a while. The referee Crag had to hurry over and stop the fight between the players on both sides and ordered them not to have any extra moves.

Zidane took this opportunity to observe the situation in the Fiorentina penalty area, and then after the referee blew the whistle, he raised his foot and passed the ball towards the center of the crowd!

Zidane is worthy of being a master-level midfielder. The arc and speed of his free kick are controlled very well, which makes the defending Fiorentine players feel very difficult because the ball's flight line is rotated inward. If the judgment is not good, it is easy to cause a top rise.

The Fiorentine players were worried about losing their position, but the Juventus players, as the offensive side, did not have these intentions. Blank, who was 1.92 meters tall, saw the ball flying towards him, immediately accelerated and jumped, preparing to directly hit the goal!

Seeing this situation, Toldo decisively abandoned the goal and rushed out of the small penalty area without any hesitation, giving full play to his advantage of height and length. Before Blank was about to attack, he punched the ball out of the penalty area!

However, Fiorentina's crisis was not resolved, and the ball hit by Tordo fell to Pierro who was wandering outside the penalty area.

Facing the dark crowd in front of him, the Zebra Prince, who was worried that the shooting line would be blocked by the crowd, chose to shoot directly!

Just as the ball was about to fly into the unguarded goal of Fiorentina, Nesta appeared on the goal line in time and kicked the ball away with a big foot!

Due to the urgent situation at that time, Nesta naturally used a lot of effort to clear the ball, so the ball flew very far this time, and the landing point was aimed directly at Juventus' halftime!

Pesotto and Toricelli, who were staying in the backcourt to defend, found that the ball was flying towards their own half, and couldn't help but be shocked, and at the same time, they cursed:

"I'll go!" × 2

If the set-piece just now was Juventus' opportunity, then after Nesta's unexpected clearance, it was Fiorentina's opportunity - because Juventus players stepped forward to participate in the offense, the Zebras' defense line was not as tight as before. Three central defenders ran to the front to participate in the offense, and only the two full-backs, Pesotto and Toricelli, as well as Frenchman Deschamps, were left in the backcourt!

What they have to face now is the joint impact of Vieri and Ronaldo!

Vieri looked at the ball falling from the air and kept moving his position, ready to unload the ball steadily. However, Deschamps obviously would not let Vieri satisfy his wish, so he immediately pressed on it and took close-fitting defense against Vieri. Toricelli was eyeing him, ready to rush forward and attack Deschamps at the moment when Vieri unloaded the ball!

As for Ronaldo on the other side, Deschamps and Torricelli handed him over to Pesotto for defense. After all, aliens are not good at heading, so in their opinion, as long as they can intercept the ball from Vieri's feet in time, there will be no problem with Ronaldo.

However, Deschamps and Toricelli underestimated Vieri's ability after all. Just imagine, when facing Vieri, who could rely on strength to break through with his strength when facing the front defense of two first-class central defenders, Sanchis and Jero, it was a bit unsafe to rely on Deschamps to intercept the front.

Therefore, Vieri directly ignored Deschamps' defense, spread his arms and used his extraordinary strength to block the Frenchman behind him, then raised his left foot and steadily stopped the ball at his feet!

Deschamps, who was blocked by Vieri, realized that he had a wrong judgment on the power of the Italian center. He wanted to make up for the loss and was using his strength to push Vieri to prevent him from turning around and facing his goal.

Seeing that Deschamps, who was responsible for defending Vieri, seemed extremely difficult, Toricelli rushed over and stole it, but Vieri did not let the opponent's conspiracy succeed. After exploring Deschamps' power backwards, Vieri gave up his plan to confront the French iron waist.

Vieri took a step forward with his right foot, blocked Toricelli who was robbing him sideways, and then pushed the ball horizontally with his left foot arch!

Ronaldo, who was following behind Vieri, immediately threw away Pesotto and rushed towards the direction of the ball!
Chapter completed!
