The Era of Emerald

() Time passed by every minute and every second, and the score on the field remained unchanged. Fiorentina, who were playing at home, still led the Rossoneri by one goal. unspeakable.

Since this is the last game before Christmas, players on both sides don't want to use a loss as a holiday gift.Therefore, the competition between the two sides for the ball began to become more and more intense as time went by. Players from both sides fought frantically in the half of Fiorentina, even the offensive players who usually did not have many defensive tasks. His body began to actively participate in the defense.

Although they are all involved in the defense, the goals of the players on both sides are different. The Milan players regard this kind of frontcourt counterattack as a way to protect their own defense. After all, when the whole team is pressing on the offense, The pressure on the back line is very high. A slip is very likely to make the opponent play a beautiful counterattack and lead to the loss of the ball. Therefore, the frontcourt players' counter-attack on the spot is very important at this moment. Last season, Milan's Part of the reason why the performance is so bad is that the aging of the frontcourt players has caused their counter-attack ability to decline sharply.

The reason why Fiorentina players actively participate in defense is even simpler. Now that they have set the tone of defensive counterattack and established the bun tactics with Baggio as the core, all they have to do is to break the opponent's ball. Then find a way to pass the ball to Baggio who is hovering on the offside line as soon as possible...

In this way, the competition between the two sides around 25 meters away from the Fiorentina goal became more intense. Costa and Effenberg all retreated to this line to help Kripa and Di Biagio, who were at a loss. To resist AC Milan's attack, only captain Batty and Robert Baggio, who came off the bench, were left in the frontcourt.

In the 70th minute of the game, Savicevic retreated from the frontcourt to take the ball and broke through. As a result, Rui Costa, who was defending back, fell to the ground. Rui Costa, who is known for his elegance, also began to foul in defense Yes, the fierce competition in this game can be seen.

AC Milan's retaliatory action also followed. In a fight, Desailly "very carelessly" raised his elbow and hit Kripa in the face. The Italian midfielder fell to the ground covering his face. The referee's whistle Immediately the sound rang, and he hurried over to check on Kripa's injury, and gave Desailly a verbal warning.The Frenchman smiled at the referee in a friendly manner. After all, he did have a tendency to fight for his teammates for this foul, otherwise he would have received a yellow card now.

Although such fouls happened frequently, these fouls did not ignite the anger of both sides. The players of both sides put more energy on the court, and did not have the idea of ​​turning the game into a full-fledged martial arts. The line of attack.

No. In the 704th minute, Panucci and Donadoni made a two-for-one cooperation on the wing and then broke through to the edge of the Fiorentina penalty area. After that, he suddenly made a pass. Nesta grabbed the ball before Kluivert , but didn't want to clear the siege, the ball bounced and rolled to Savicevic's feet.

Savicevic received the clearance ball, looked up and found that there were no Fiorentina players in front of him, Kripa ran to help Lanna, and Di Biagio was watching from the other side Boban, Costa and Effenberg were all behind him due to positioning problems... So Savicevic immediately swung his left foot, and then suddenly kicked 30 meters away from the goal Far away!

Zhuang Mingge's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Savicevic's long-range shot was quite nerve-wracking. You didn't know where he was going when he shot badly, but you might say if he shot well. You can play a world wave - the most memorable is the European Champions Cup final between AC Milan and Barcelona last year. At that time, the Yugoslavs, who had not scored in the league all season, used a The dangler with feet like a flying fairy blasted the ball into the gate guarded by the legendary Spanish goalkeeper Zubizarreta.

Of course, that level of long-range shot does not mean that you can hit it with a straight shot. Savicevic's long-range shot has a good angle, but the strength is very average. Although Toldo did not expect the opponent to directly hit him at this distance. shot the goal, but he reacted quickly, quickly moved two steps to the left, and then hugged the ball tightly in his arms!

"Counterattack! Counterattack!" Toldo, who blocked the shot this time, shouted, and immediately kicked the ball out with a big kick!

Now that the Milanese have just invested a lot of troops to attack and make the rear empty, this is a good time for Florence to launch a counterattack!

Although Toldo's position on the field is the goalkeeper, his kick-off technique has also been trained by Mullensten, who was invited by Zhuang Mingge. Will not deviate too far from the intended position.

I saw that the ball drew a parabola in the sky and then fell towards AC Milan's half court. Two figures below were pulling each other to compete for the first spot. One was Costacurta and the other was Batistuta. !

Batistuta, who is 1.8 meters tall, used his body to suppress Costacurta who was interfering behind him, and then stretched his neck hard to hit the ball...

In the contest with Costacurta, Batty has completely occupied a favorable position. As long as he can stop the ball, no matter how much Costacurta interferes with him behind him, Batty's physique will not be affected too much. Impact.

The actual situation was as expected by Batty. He successfully stopped the ball from Toldo, then leaned his back against Costacurta, pushed the ball to his side and back with his right foot, and had already prepared for a counterattack Baggio, who was ready, immediately ran in the direction of the ball!Reluctantly following behind him was AC Milan's old captain Franco Baresi.

Seeing Batty pass the ball, Costacurta also quickly turned around and gave up the task of marking Batty and rushed to defend Baggio.

But in the competition of speed, it is clear that Baggio has the advantage. After receiving the pass from Batty, he continued to sprint forward, while Costacurta and Baresi, who were chasing behind him, were without the ball. But they found sadly that even so they couldn't catch up with Baggio who had the ball at his feet...

Without the interference of other defensive players, Baggio successfully broke into the penalty area of ​​AC Milan. Facing the old Rossi who had created a record of consecutive clean sheets, Baggio adopted the same method as Inzaghi-directly lead The ball waded past Rossi who was attacking from the side, and pushed the ball into the empty goal!

Two to zero!

With Roberto Baggio scoring a counterattack in the No.706 minute of the game, Fiorentina led AC Milan [-]-[-] at home!
