Chapter 626 Leading Again

I have to say that Capello's last sentence did greatly inspire the fighting spirit of the Fiorentine players. Therefore, after the game restarted, Fiorentine staged a crazy attack that made everyone stunned!

On the forward line, Vieri and Ronaldo kept running in and out of Juventus' penalty area, which made Blank and others very angry, but because the personal abilities of these two people cannot be ignored, they had to follow the two to fight a chase on the court.

The midfield is still the area where the two teams compete most fiercely. The four-man Effenberg, Redondo, Davis and Dibiagio confrontation with Deschamps, Dilivio and Zidane are full of Mars. The fans are excited and bursts of sounds in the stands to support the team they support.

On the wing, Robert Carlos and Zambrota, two full-backs, kept running on both wings of the court, sometimes forced a breakthrough and made a direct cross, sometimes cut in and directly threatened Juventus' defense with long shots and passes. Various offensive methods allow

So, just five minutes after the re-telection, Fiorentina completed a three-stroke shot!

The Juventus players who finally blocked Fiorentina's offensive were about to launch a counterattack to fight back, but what they didn't expect was that Zidane, who had performed very well since the beginning of the game, was intercepted by the Dutchman with a braid at this time!

Davis cut Zidane's foot ball and immediately passed the ball to Effenberg. The latter made a straight pass in the middle and directly penetrated Juventus' midfield defense. Ronaldo and Vieri rushed into the penalty area at the same time, but were taken by Montero, who was robbed in time, and the ball was first to shovel the ball out of the penalty area! Redondo, who followed behind the two, immediately shot against the ball, but was desperately killed by Blank who was back to defend the goal line to clear the ball!

Although Fiorentina's attack failed, it also scared Juventus into a cold sweat.

If Blank hadn't appeared on the goal line in time, he might have been captured by Fiorentina again.

The counterattack failed and he almost got hit by Fiorentina. This situation made the Juventus players just huddled in their own half for a long time. The offense was basically a big kick to the frontcourt for Pierro and Oterosa to chase him, and they didn't dare to try a large-scale counterattack.

Although he was pushed to the half by Fiorentina and beaten up by Juventus' goal, the score on the field has not changed at all during this period.

"Juventus' defense is really not blown up. Lippi is indeed a bit capable." Capello thought with his hands on his chest, "However, this intensity of defense consumes a lot of physical and mental health. How long can your players last?"

Faced with Juventus' tight defense, the Fiorentine players still created many opportunities to score. However, tonight Peruzzi, Blanc, Montero and others performed very well in the game. They united as one, built a Great Wall in front of the goal, blocking all kinds of shots from Fiorentine outside the goal!

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half, Fiorentina still failed to rewrite the score on the field and had to enter the halftime stage with a one-to-one score!

"The first half is over! The score on the court is now tied by one to one team! Personally, this score cannot show the real strength of both sides. In fact, the aggressive Fiorentina created more good opportunities to score in the first half, while Juventus, who is obsessed with defense, only got two good scoring opportunities, but the score on the court is now tied by one... It can only be said that Fiorentina's luck is too unlucky. In the game, they had at least three shots cleared by the Juventus defender on the goal line. As long as they seized one of them, the situation will be very different now."

"Although Juventus' tactical style is very conservative, the entire first half of the game was still quite exciting under Fiorentina's persistent attack." Robert Baggio also began to comment on the game at this time. "Now it seems that the two sides will increase the competition for control of the midfield in the second half. After all, those who win the midfield will win the world."

As Baggio expected, after the second half, the fight between the two sides in the midfield became more intense and hot, forcing the referee Kragg to blow the whistle and interrupt the game - because the players on both sides' moves in the battle are getting bigger and bigger.

Although the game was very intense, the excitement was much discounted compared to the first half. This is mainly because the players on both sides are now focusing on the competition for the midfield, so the support for offense is naturally much less.

Lippi was not anxious about the situation in front of him, because he wanted to drag the game to the penalty shootout before deciding the outcome; Capello was not anxious either, because he was quite confident in the players' ability to create and seize opportunities.

Relying on the advantage of one more player in the midfield, after nearly ten minutes of stalemate, Fiorentina began to gradually gain the advantage on the field. Carlos and Zambrota continued to intervene in and participate in the offense like in the first half, and oppressing Juventus' defense line kept moving backwards.

Faced with Fiorentina's oppressive offensive style, Juventus players had to gradually retreat. Five defenders and three midfielders blocked the penalty area tightly, leaving only Pierro and Otero to stay in the frontcourt to harass.

Seeing this situation, Capello was not panicked, but instead sneered at it: If you think this would make Florence not score, then you can only say that you are too naive!

Defense is very particular about occupying the field space, and pressing the defense line so flat... This is seeking death.

In the 55th minute, after receiving a pass from Zanbrotta, Ronaldo gently knocked his right heel with his back to Pesotto, then quickly turned to the left, and suddenly accelerated, relying on his superhuman explosive power to break through Pesotto's defense!

Afterwards, Ronaldo raised his eyes and glanced at the penalty area. He did not give Pesotto a tactical foul and directly passed the ball into the penalty area!

Using his teammate's body to block the referee's vision, Blank hid Vieri's jersey and successfully pushed the ball out of the penalty area before Vieri!

Vieri quickly signaled to the referee that Blank made a defensive foul, but Kragg did not pay attention to this. He believed that this level of action was still within the allowed range of the game, and there was no need to call a foul.

Just when Vieri was so upset that he suffered a secret loss, he suddenly found that the ball was flying towards him at some point!

"Damn!" Vieri quickly tilted his body and avoided the fate of being hit by the bull's eye. "Who is so unethical? He kicked the ball in the face..."

Wait! How did this ball fly back?
