Chapter 70 Leading
The game has been going on for more than twenty minutes. At this time, the two sides of the game no longer conduct small-scale tests and contacts, but have no scruples and drastic confrontation. The Super Cup championship battle between Milan and Fiorentina finally officially kicked off at this moment.
This game has many "highlights" in the eyes of some professionals, such as the desperately Saburo-like Lanna in the Fiorentina team. He has not been summoned by the Italian national team for a long time and is very eager to have excellent performance in Fiorentina, especially in this direct dialogue with Milan, and thus be selected for the national team again.
Italy is a country with endless excellent defenders. Lanna, who made some achievements during her time in Sampdoria, would need to put in more effort to impress the old man Saki.
However, it is obvious that Maldini Jr.'s position as the main left-back of the national team is obviously unshakable, but in his choice of substitute, it depends on which players the Italian coach Saki trusts more, and it comes from how he will perform before the arrival of the European Cup in England the following year, especially in front of his competitors.
"Oh! Effenberg forced his way through Albertini's interception and gave the ball to Lanna who was plugging from the left high speed! Will Lanna choose to continue to push forward in front of Panucci, who was defending him? The answer is yes! They are now fighting with 12 points for the quota of Italian national team!"
The commentator of this game "cooperated" to reveal one of Lanna's extremely excited motivations in this game - the main left-back of the Italian national team. Maldini, who will definitely participate in the European Football Championship held in England the following year, is why the young Lanna is full of fighting enthusiasm.
With the cheers of the Fiorentine fans who came to the scene, the Fiorentine players were fighting without any effort, the "Purple Lily" who fought "away" began to gradually take the initiative on the field.
As Capello was worried, like Martini, Costacuta and others, they all had some unconscious shock when facing Fiorentine players.
Although they were "stunned" for a very short time, only a few seconds, it was enough to cause very serious consequences on the football field where the situation was changing rapidly.
Although Fiorentina's head coach Ranieli was not aware of the impact of the "World Cup Nightmare" on Milan players, he could see that Costakuta and others were "unusual". Taking advantage of the opportunity to die, he called Bilindeli, who was closest to him, and gave him an opportunity to give him an in-person opportunity.
Subsequently, Fiorentina began to increase the pressure on Costakuta. Djokaf and Effenberg took turns to drive the ball directly into Costakuta's defense area. For a moment, Milan's penalty area was in panic.
In the 30th minute, Philip Inzaghi successfully countered offside. Costakuta, who was chasing back, made a tactical foul and brought Inzaghi to the ground. The referee Corina did not take out the cards, but only verbally warned Costakuta, who "caused the accident".
In the 33rd minute, Fiorentina made a comeback. After getting the ball, the strong Batistuta pressed Costakuta behind him tightly, and then turned around and shot hard. Unfortunately, the ball was saved by the old goalkeeper Rossi;
Two minutes later, Costakuta's defense zone was once again broken through by Fiorentina's players. Effenberg's forced "overtaking" made Costakuta feel embarrassed. This time the captain of Milan was Milan, Baresi;
Seeing Costa Cuta being broken through continuously by the Fiorentines, Capello on the sidelines could not stand any longer. He began to think about whether he would replace Costa Cuta during the halftime break. After all, judging from the series of performances just now, Costa Cuta is no different from a colander.
So, who should I play? Capello quietly glanced at the bench behind him: Tasotti, or Koko, or Philip Galli?
If Tasotti or Koko comes on the court, then Maldini will be replaced to the central defender; while Old Galli's appearance is more of a counter-substitution...
Just as Capello was thinking, the game was already in the 44th minute. Djokaf received a pass from Lanna, and gently wiped Costakuta, who was eager to grab it, turned around and broke into the penalty area. As a result, Costakuta, who had been dizzy before, kicked Djokaf from behind. The referee Corina, who was obsessed with a clear head, quickly arrived at the "cidental site" and awarded a penalty to Fiorentina. This time, he did not let Costakuta, who had repeatedly fouled in the last 15 minutes, gave him a "ruby God of War Card" for free and directly expelled him from the field.
(In reality, Costakuta's competitive state has indeed begun to decline sharply since the 1994 World Cup. The most typical game was at the end of 1994. In the game against Sasfield, Costakuta first made an unnecessary foul in the penalty area and gave the opponent a penalty kick, and then made a mistake in the pass, causing AC Milan to concede another goal. He received a red card before the end of the game and was sent off)
As the team's number one penalty kicker, Batistuta carefully wiped the ball, placed it on the penalty kick, retreated for a while, put his hands on his hips, and quietly waited for the referee's whistle.
The whistle sounded, and Batistuta was able to assist - swing his legs - shooting, and a series of movements were completed in one go, as if he was walking without stagnation.
Batistuta's shot was never known for his tricky angles. What really made him famous for fans around the world was the famous "Batti GOAL", who used a thunderous shot to destroy all obstacles that blocked him. Even if it was a penalty kick, it was no exception, because this was Batistuta's style.
This time, Batistuta's shooting angle was not tricky, the ball flew tightly against the turf toward the lower right corner, AC Milan goalkeeper Rossi used all his strength to stretch his arm, trying to change the trajectory of the ball flying a little bit.
But he failed. Before he touched the football, Barty's penalty had already flew past him at high speed and plunged into the white net, causing ripples.
After seeing himself scoring, Batistuta ran to a corner of the stadium in a breeze, holding the corner flag in his hand, holding his head and chest up, shouting to the sky, as if he was the king of green at this moment, and the whole world surrendered to his feet.
Other players from Fiorentina also ran over to celebrate the goal with Batistuta. Inzagi jumped on Batistuta's back excitedly, and both of them were laughing happily.
Because at this moment, they have taken the lead, and they are leading the kingly army of European football - AC Milan!
