The Era of Emerald

()"The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and Fiorentina from Italy led our Real Madrid 45-[-] in the away game! This is a very favorable result for them, even if they are eventually equalized by Real Madrid , the advantage of two away goals will also allow them to take the lead in the subsequent group stage!" The Bernabéu commentator sat in front of the microphone and expressed his views, desperately cheering for the Real Madrid players Come on, "There are still [-] minutes before the end of the game, boys from Real Madrid, come on, I believe you will be able to win the final victory!"

Lorenzo Sanz was sitting on the left side of the VIP box, his face was quite ugly, probably because he was angry that his team was scored twice by Fiorentina in the first half of the game.

"Hehe, it seems that Coach Valdano will be in trouble after this game." Zhuang Mingge looked at Sans, who was muttering something to the entourage around him, and smiled secretly.

The 15-minute intermission time passed quickly, and the coaches of both sides did not make substitutions. Both coaches seemed to think that what was put on the field was already the best card in their respective hands, and there was no need to do it again. What redundant changes.

After the start of the second half, Fiorentina did not try to keep the score until the end of the game by retreating and defending because of the two-goal lead - Ranieri, who had done quite a lot of homework before the game, of course knew what kind of team Real Madrid was. Their offensive ability is far better than their defense. At the same time, their midfielders have insufficient protection for the back line, so there are often situations where the opponent's forward directly faces their own defender. This is a common problem for Spanish teams. A little bit of nature is also what Florence will make full use of in the next time.

So, from the beginning of the second half, Fiorentina and Real Madrid played a wonderful offensive and defensive battle.

However, Real Madrid's attack is more based on the cross after the wing breakthrough, and in defense, it relies more on the personal ability of several defensive players; while Fiorentina is based on Ranieri's efforts in the past two years Created a defensive system, and then several midfielders launched a counterattack through a quick pass, and finally handed it over to Batty or Inzaghi to complete the shot.

Although Batistuta is a traditional center, he was born and raised in Argentina and his skills are not very bad. He can play for his teammates or play some simple coordination, so his existence firmly attracted the attention of Real Madrid. There are two central defenders, so they have no time to fill other positions-everyone knows that this Argentine center forward has the ability to decide the game. If he is not marked, no one can bear the possible consequences.

At his peak, Batty's physical fitness was indeed outstanding. Little Sanchez was originally an excellent defensive player in physical confrontation, but he is already in his 30s after all, and the rapid decline in physical confrontation ability is an indisputable fact. Compared with Batty who is at his peak?

As for Alcorta...Although he is also a good defender, it is too difficult for him who is only 1.7 meters 74 and weighs only 1.8 kg to fight against the [-] meters [-] Batistuta.

……

"Fiorentina intercepted the ball in the backcourt, and Effenberg made a long pass to launch a counterattack! Damn, now there are only three of our players in the backcourt of Real Madrid, and Batistuta is accelerating towards the place where the ball landed!"

Two minutes into the game, Enrique's dribbling was cut off by Lanner, and Fiorentina launched a quick counterattack on the spot!

Effenberg's long ball was so precise that it flew straight into the middle of Real Madrid's half. Inzaghi's run caught Arcorta's attention and diverted him away from Batistuta. ;Flores and Shendo just ran into Fiorentina's half to participate in the offense and haven't had time to return to the defense. They are still running back desperately...Unknowingly, Batty rushed towards the ball At the time, only Manuel Sanchez was left to defend him from the front.

Seeing Batistuta sprinting towards the point where the ball landed, Sanchez was also running towards the point where the ball landed. He knew that he was the only one who could stop Batistuta from advancing. If I can't stop the Argentine striker, then Real Madrid will basically announce that they are behind by three goals in the near future, and there will be no suspense in the game at all...

Therefore, in this attack, Sanchez made up his mind to intercept the ball no matter what price he paid!

Thinking in this way, Sanchis rushed to the place where the ball fell more quickly, where he would have another confrontation with Batistuta.

Because it was Batistuta who started before Sanchis, he reached the place where the ball landed first.

Just as Batty stretched his foot to stop the ball, Sanchez hit the Argentine from the front. He took advantage of Batty's foot to stop the ball and pretended that he couldn't brake in time while running. He bumped into Batistuta with a shoulder!

With the strength of Sanchez's sprint, and Batistuta only has one foot to support his body at this time, in his opinion, even if this blow can't knock Batty away, at least it can knock him out. Get down!

Sanchez's shoulder slammed into Batistuta's body, knocking the Argentine to the ground!

"Damn it, you actually play yin?" Seeing Sanchez's action, Zhuang Mingge stood up from his seat and shouted angrily, "If you can't kick the game, you start kicking people. Is this Real Madrid?"

On the other side, Sanz's old face was flushed. Although sometimes he didn't care about his face, but the Real Madrid players did such a thing in the game, which still made him, who is a noble and elegant Real Madrid man, feel uncomfortable.

Di——The referee soon appeared at the scene of the incident, punished Sanchez for a foul and showed him a yellow card. After all, Sanchez's accident site was a certain distance from the Real Madrid penalty area. Batis Tuta didn't have an absolute chance to score. In Frisk's eyes, this was just a relatively bad tactical foul. A yellow card was enough to warn him.

After Frisk's punishment was over, the players and fans of both sides discovered that the victim Batistuta was still lying on the lawn in pain and did not get up.

Only now did the Fiorentina players realize that something big happened. With Batty's physical fitness, some innocuous injuries would not make him appear in a situation where he still can't get up now. They hurriedly surrounded their own captain's position In the past, the sharp-eyed Rui Costa also called the team medical team from the sidelines.

After some emergency treatment and examination by the team doctors, Thomas Carter reluctantly made a gesture to Ranieri who was standing on the sidelines that all Fiorentina fans didn't want to see: Substitution!Then Batty was lifted off the field on a stretcher for further treatment.

Just 5 minutes into the second half, Fiorentina's captain Batistuta got injured because of a tactical foul by Real Madrid defender Sanchez!
