Chapter 510 Luck Ball
There is no doubt that Pellegrini is a good coach. It is not easy to bring an unknown small team like Villarreal to its current position, but on the tactical level, Pellegrini is not outstanding. Florence has excellent attack power. He replaced the forward Jose Mari in the minute. Now that the score is behind, he has to replace another forward, which is almost equivalent to doing nothing, but wasting two substitutions.
Figueroa's help to Villarreal in offense is not much better than Jose Mali. Facing Fiorente's Italian defense, the header is not very good, and there is not much spirituality of South American players. Figueroa is more of a restraint of Fiorente's defender and creates opportunities for Fran.
When he first came on the court, because Fiorentina was not familiar with Figueroa, Figueroa stopped the ball with her chest at the front of the penalty area and passed Donadal. He shot hard before Uyfalusi made up for defense, and the ball was barely out of the post.
Next, Fiorentina felt that this Argentine boy had two tricks and immediately strengthened his defense, and Figueroa was silent. However, Figueroa's restraint effect was still very obvious. After he came on the court to attract defense, Fran's threat gradually increased.
The most anxious person at this time is Villarreal. They will be eliminated if they cannot score a goal. The most nervous person is Fiorentina. They only lead by one goal. Once Villarreal scores, they are likely to be dragged into overtime. At this time, both sides hope to get rid of this uncomfortable situation, but after a game and a half, both sides are already familiar with their opponents, and they cannot break the deadlock without making any mistakes.
The score did not move, but time was constantly lost. In the blink of an eye, 75 minutes had arrived. Less than 20 minutes before the end of the game, Fiorentina gave up the goal, replaced Feorre, replaced the defensive midfielder Paqinza, and made a plan to defend.
Villarreal also used his last substitution quota and sent forward Guaire to play a three-forward combination, preparing to fight to the end.
The midfielder's chaotic scramble for more than ten minutes, and a few long shots without quality made the fans of both sides look very excited, and even less cheering. Now, seeing both sides mobilized their troops and dispatched their troops, they immediately felt refreshed and understood that the wonderful and tragic moment was coming.
"Into one"
"Into one"
Villarreal fans shouted at the stadium in Spanish, then began singing team songs, encouraging their players to persevere until the end of adversity and complete the Jedi counterattack.
The fans of Fiorentina were not idle either. They came today and rushed to 10,000 people, and could compete with the fans of Villarreal. When the fans of Villarreal sang the team songs, they also sang team songs and used the songs to fight the songs.
At this time, the players were no longer in a lot of mood to pay attention to the changes in the stands. After the substitution, the game suddenly became tense, the offense and defense rhythm became very fast, and there was no time to get the ball.
Such a game rhythm is a disaster for Rikelme. He is slow and he takes the ball slowly. If he is given time and space, he can pass imaginatively straight passes, but now, there are only two people waiting for Rikelme, one is stealing and the other is being fouled.
When the two sides started their final decisive battle, Villarreal naturally placed their hopes on Riquelme, but after Riquelme was fouled twice in a row and intercepted once, Villarreal's players did not dare to pass the ball to Riquelme again. They gave up their midfield advantage and directly passed the ball to Fran, Figueroa and Guaire, or broke from the wing to the bottom line to cross, playing the simplest long pass and rushing and bottom crossing.
La Liga is the most technically compatible in the top five leagues, but at the most critical moment, they also used the "English-rough" style of play that they have always been shameless.
Fiorentina is the Italian team that is best at defense. If Villarreal plays a delicate cooperation, they may still be afraid. Now Villarreal does not have a strong center and dares to play long passes and crosses from the wing. They are not afraid at all. It turns out that before Villarreal adopted such simple and rough tactics, Fiorentina also shrank its lineup and compressed the space in the backcourt. Now they have not continued to shrink, but have expanded the defense range and pressed against all Villarreal's players to defend, so that they will not allow them to pass high-quality passes.
Plandelli's on-site command ability was excellent, and he responded very quickly. Florence's full-game press broke the attempt to win in the chaos of Villarreal. Their rushing quality was very poor, and it was difficult to get down the bottom on the sidelines. After five minutes of the attack, he didn't even get a shot.
After seeing that the minutes passed, the offense did not improve at all, Villarreal's player passed the ball to Riquelme, who was standing in the midfield and doing nothing.
Although Riquelme did not touch the ball in the past few minutes, Fiorentina did not relax their defense. The ball reached Riquelme's feet. Riquelme stopped and turned around, dodged Pachenza's tackle, and did not take two steps forward, but was knocked to the ground by Montolivo sideways.
The referee immediately blew the whistle, fouled Montolivo, and gave Montolivo a yellow card.
The free kick Villarreal got was quite good, about twenty-nine meters away from the goal, and Riquelme stood in front of the ball and took the penalty of the set ball himself.
The free kick is a bit far away, goalkeeper Toldo mainly focused on organizing players to defend Villarreal's header, and did not think that Riquelme would directly shoot.
However, Riquelme played very unhappy in this game, especially just now, he was completely angered by his opponent's shameless foul tactics. He did not cooperate with his teammates and directly kicked a banana ball and shot it in the opposite direction of goalkeeper Toldo's position.
Riquelme showed his foot with anger, his strength was not small, but his accuracy decreased. The ball did not cross the wall, but Riquelme was lucky. The ball happened to hit Guaire's shoulder and refracted, and the ball flew towards the direction of Tordo's position.
When Toldor saw Riquelme hitting the goal directly against the wall protection, he immediately moved quickly and prepared to save the ball, but before he could move to the middle of the goal, the ball flew towards the direction of his original position.
"not good"
Tordo shouted inwardly, but there was no way. He could only look back and watch the ball flew into the goal he was guarding.
Stars like Rikelme have already mastered their skills. As soon as the ball leaves his feet, he immediately knows that he has not played well. When he was secretly yelling that he is not bad, he finds that the ball actually refracts to the other side of the goal and flies into the net.
In an instant, Riquelme's bitter melon face turned into a hibiscus flower. He raised his arms and rushed to the sidelines like flying to celebrate this life-saving goal.
"aIaIaI...Roman Roman Roman Roman: l Roman scored a goal Villarreal overtook the score again and pulled Villarreal back from the edge of the cliff. This goal cannot allow Villarreal to advance, but it can be ⊥ Villarreal continue to survive. Perhaps playing extra time or even playing penalty kicks is the only way for both sides to decide the outcome..."
The Spanish commentator on the scene was yelling loudly. He was just as anxious as an ordinary Villarreal fan. This goal finally gave him a chance to vent.
In the stands, Villarreal's fans were even more excited. Some applauded, some shouted, some punched, and some jumped to their seats excitedly. All the fans were crazy about the goal.
As the commentator said, this goal cannot allow Villarreal to advance, but this goal can allow Villarreal to continue to live. This is the foundation of all hope.
The goal was tied and overtaken again. The continuous joy and sorrow made Pellegrini a little numb. He stood still and just clenched his hands. He kept reminding himself in his heart that Riquelme's refraction ball only helped Villarreal to prosper, and he must be calm. The opponent still has an advantage now, that is, they are away and can play two goals with another goal. The key now is to keep the score until overtime. In overtime, the opponent's advantage is gone. But for him, the problem is that there are no substitutions. There are three forwards on the field. I dare not say that I can defend it, but the risk of the offense is greater? How to break it? The Chilean engineer was once again in a dilemma.
Beside Pellegrini, Prandelli was still motionless, but the mineral water bottle in his hand was creaking. He was in a very bad mood. Fiorentina was less than ten minutes away from victory, but luck was against him and actually gave his opponent a refraction goal. : I now have the same score. For Fiorentina, the only advantage left is that if they score again, one goal will be used as two. However, there are only seven or eight minutes left. If they enter overtime, Fiorentina will lose this advantage. Can Fiorentina still score?
At this time, the goal was a big impact on Dela Valle. He was ready to celebrate the victory, and even thought about the words to thank the players and fans. However, seeing the duck on his hand flew, Dela Valle was very frustrated and annoyed. He wished he could rush to the sidelines and yell at the players and coaches, so that they could lock in the victory as soon as possible. Don't be so conservative. Everything can happen on the football field. Only by scoring more goals can all accidents be eliminated.
