The Era of Emerald

Hearing the whistle to start the game, Zhuang Mingge had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​continuing to communicate with Beckenbauer and turn his attention to the field.

In this game, Fiorentina's starting goalkeeper is still Toldo. This young goalkeeper has firmly held the position of Viola's main goalkeeper since his first season in Fiorentina. Conceding goals, but Toldo can often show amazing energy in some key games; at the same time, Ranieri removed Nesta, who had made frequent mistakes recently, from the starting list, and replaced him with the Filicano in the substitute lineup, and Filicano's partner as a central defender is still Ferrara, who is experienced in competitions, and the two full-backs are Lanna and Zambu, who are full of energy and can sprint back and forth on the wing to participate in the attack Rota.

In the midfield, due to the loss of the first round, Ranieri had no choice but to abandon the idea of ​​​​defensive counterattack, and boldly sent only Di Biagio to be responsible for the midfield defense. Effenberg, Ruy Costa and Djorkaeff all made their starting debut. It seems that Tinker intends to use these skilled players to control the rhythm of the game and use offense to solve the opponent.

On the forward line, Ranieri sent a combination of Batistuta and Roberto Baggio. Ronaldo, who had just recovered from a serious injury, continued to sit on the bench waiting for calls. The sluggish state was removed from the starting list by Ranieri.

On the other hand, Dortmund, after winning a home game, their head coach Heathfield still has the same starting lineup as in the previous game, but compared with the previous round, Dortmund In this game, it was obvious that they worked harder on defense. Players including Chapuisat frequently retreated to participate in the defense. It seemed that they planned to use defensive counterattack tactics to advance to the semi-finals at Florence's home court.

After the start of the game, Fiorentina, who got the right to kick off, immediately launched an attack on Dortmund's half. They were two goals behind in the total score and they did not have extra effort and the visiting team was exhausted. They must recover as soon as possible. disadvantage.

However, this situation is in line with the old Chinese saying: "haste makes waste".As the Fiorentina players were eager to equalize the total score, they lacked patience when attacking. The young and energetic Rui Costa repeatedly passed through balls to try to score goals as quickly as possible, but like this A pass with a very obvious intention is obviously unable to pass the experienced Dortmund's defense, and it is simply refreshing the steal data for the opponent.

Zorc ran two steps to the right and once again cut off Costa's through pass. For the 34-year-old, he now relies more on his rich game experience to play football. Intentional passing is of course easy for him.

Zork, who broke the ball, did not take the ball forward, but quickly passed the ball back to Andres Müller, who retreated to meet him. For this excellent teammate, Zork is With full trust, it was his one pass and one shot that opened the door to victory for the team in the last match against Fiorentina. This time, Dortmund's players naturally still handed over the right to organize the offense to him.

While steadily dribbling the ball forward, Andres Muller looked up to observe the positions of the Fiorentina players, and at the same time, he had to be careful of the Fiorentina players who suddenly rushed out from places he couldn't see.

If Kohler and Sammer have brought a solid defense to Dortmund, then Andres Muller is Dortmund's offensive engine. After all, even in the star-studded German national team, Effenberg For top midfielders like , Hasler and Matthaus, the light of Andres Muller has never been covered.

After receiving a pass from his teammate in the midfield, Muller's beautiful spike evaded Di Biagio's entanglement, his movements were quick and clean, and he didn't feel sloppy at all.

Thousands of Dortmund fans who came to Florence with the team in the stands immediately cheered,

Although Muller did not become famous in Dortmund, the star immediately brought the team the first Bundesliga championship in the club's history after returning from Serie A. For Dortmund fans, Muller is undoubtedly He is the hero of the team.

Di Biagio chased after him persistently, and Filicano also stopped in front of Muller in a timely manner-this is a person who needs to be taken care of, and Ranieri specifically explained this to them before the game.

Seeing the situation he was facing, Muller did not continue to dribble. After all, he is not the kind of skilled midfielder who can pass several players in a row by himself-Germany does not have this kind of midfielder. Organization and excellent scoring ability are their most threatening places. Effenberg, Basler, Hassler and others are all this type of attacking midfielders, and Muller is no exception.

Before Di Biagio and Filicano formed a siege, Muller passed the ball to another German international Reuter who inserted from the left.

Just when Reuter got the ball, Chapuisart and Riddell started to move towards Fiorentina's penalty area. Although the two were only about 180 centimeters tall, they were also good at grabbing points in front of the goal and heading the ball. Pretty good.

The fight for the header is not something that a tall person can definitely win.

Muller's pass was quite beautiful. Reuter received Muller's pass comfortably. Zambrotta, who was in charge of Fiorentina's defense on the right, immediately went up. Reuter made a pass back to the center. After Muller's fake action distracted Zambrotta's attention, he quickly dunked the ball from the wing and accelerated the breakthrough!

Although Reuter has a height of 1.8 meters 11.2, his speed is not slow. When he was young, his [-]-meter speed even reached [-] seconds. Now, although he is getting older, his speed will inevitably decline, but take advantage of this Time difference to break through Zambrotta's defense is not a problem.

Zambrotta was shaken by Reuter. Although he quickly chased him from behind, Reuter's speed was very fast. After gaining a little advantage in the start, he didn't give Zambrotta a chance to defend. , but continued to move forward with the ball, even though Zambrotano was chasing desperately behind him, he could not shorten the distance between him and Reuter.

However, Zambrotta's relentless pursuit also put a lot of pressure on Reuter. Originally, Reuter planned to take advantage of the trend to cut inward into the penalty area, but Zambrotta's desperate defense forced him to walk in a straight line.Reuter sighed in his heart, accelerated again and took a step towards the bottom line. During the breakthrough, he looked up and observed the penalty area, and decisively kicked a pass!

The ball spun and flew towards the penalty area. Chapuisat, who was standing in the front point, attracted Ferrara's attention, and Riddle, who was unmarked in the back point, jumped high and headed towards the ball!

An unguarded header!

However, as soon as the ball flew out, a figure rushed over from the side, flying to block the ball out of the baseline!

As the figure fell heavily on the lawn, the Fiorentina fans saw clearly who the hero who saved the team was!

It's Toldo, the goalkeeper of Florence!At this critical moment, he saved Florence again!
