The Era of Emerald

After the goal, Roberto Carlos ran on the field excitedly. Anyway, scoring is always a happy thing, not to mention that this is the first time he has scored in the Toyota Cup.

Thinking of this, Carlos couldn't help thanking his head coach Capello in his heart. If he didn't play under his command, but still stayed under Hodgson's account of Inter Milan, he would definitely not have such a big offense. The degree of freedom, if you don't get tied up in your own half by the Englishman, you should be very proud.

Therefore, Carlos ran in front of Capello from the restricted area of ​​the River Plate team, regardless of the height difference of more than ten centimeters between Capello and him (Capello's height is 1.8 meters, and Carlos Only 1.6 meters eight), he hugged his own head coach, and then a little effort with his arms made the gold medal coach's feet off the ground.

"Hey! Robert! What do you want to do, boy! Hurry up and put me down!" Being picked up by a man much shorter than himself, even Capello, who has always been indifferent in the eyes of outsiders, couldn't help panicking ——If this guy accidentally throws himself to the ground, it will be a lot of fun...

"Ha, haha, boss, don't get excited, it was just an accident just now..." Hearing Capello's shout, Carlos remembered that his own head coach was not a good person, even though he did I expressed my gratitude to Capello with a grateful attitude.

So, without waiting for Capelo to say anything, the Brazilian left-back ran back to Fiorentina's half after saying "I was just too excited just now", looking at that posture as if there was a poisonous snake behind his ass Like chasing him down.

"This bastard..." Capelone, who knew the meaning of Carlos's words, shook his head, then looked at his suit with distress, and wanted to cry, "This is what I specially prepared for today's event. It was custom-made for the competition, and it was all wrinkled by this guy..."

The comedy on the sidelines made many fans who supported Fiorentina smile knowingly, and the Fiorentina players in the stadium couldn't stop laughing at Carlos' expression as if he was running for his life.

However, this was just an episode of the game. When the referee put the ball back to the center of the field, the players on both sides had already returned to their respective positions.

After the game restarted, Fiorentina continued to stick to the previous fast-break tactics, and the River Plate players, who had no way to stop Viola's offensive, had to use fouls to interrupt the opponent's attack.

In the 407th minute, Effenberg made a direct pass from the middle. Ronaldo caught the ball at the top of the penalty zone and dunked Berizzo who was defending him. As a result, he was directly knocked down by the latter. The referee immediately showed a ball to the River Plate defender. A yellow card and awarded Fiorentina a free kick in the front court, but the set kick that the alien personally took the penalty was higher than the crossbar;

In 3 minutes, Effenberg was knocked down by Astrada's dark elbow in the attack. The angry tiger got up from the turf and was about to attack. Fortunately, Di Biagio and Redon stood beside him With quick eyes and quick hands, Effenberg's violent behavior was stopped in time, so that no greater disturbance occurred.

However, the referee who has discovered the abnormality still gave Effenberg a warning. In his opinion, the player wearing the No. Be warned verbally.

As for Astrada, who used small actions to make people feel bad, when the referee saw the instant replay on the big screen of the stadium, he sent him a yellow card without hesitation, and warned that if there were any more such actions, he would definitely be punished. expulsion.

After extinguishing the signs of chaos, the referee strengthened the penalty scale for fouls, especially the River Plate players who have been fouling constantly after the score fell behind, and became the focus of the referee.

In this kind of situation where even slightly bigger fouls will be punished, the River Plate players have no way to effectively counter Fiorentina's offense. Compared with the gorgeous attack line in the frontcourt, their defense line is really not strong enough; However, the Fiorentina players became more and more courageous as they fought, using a lot of ball running and fast passing to frequently tear through the fragile defense of the River Plate team.

Once a player can't run anymore, Capello will immediately choose to make a substitution. He first replaced Davis who ran for most of the half in the No. 608 minute (mainly because Francescoli had already advanced due to lack of physical fitness) off the field), replaced Tomasi, who is also excellent in running ability, and continued the tactics formulated before the game, and then replaced Ronaldo with Inzaghi in the No.701 minute, and finally used Rui Rui in the No.80 second minute Costa replaced Effenberg, who also began to decline in physical fitness...

Through these substitutions, Capello allowed Fiorentina to firmly grasp the rhythm of the entire game in their own hands, without giving the River Plate any chance to launch a counterattack.

Therefore, the morale of the suppressed River Plate team became more and more depressed. With the last few minutes of the game left, they, who were already eager to fight, ignored the head coach Dias who was jumping anxiously on the sidelines. With a muddled mentality, he planned to hang out until the end of the game.

At this moment, Fiorentina once again launched a wave of offensive. In the 809th minute, Carlos made another victory with a strong free kick 30 meters away from the goal, expanding the score to [-]-[-] and completely locking Victory!

Seeing this situation, Dias, who was planning to make a last-ditch effort, lowered his head in frustration, while Capello raised his hands high, celebrating his first Toyota Cup championship in his coaching career in advance!

Capello had led Milan to the Toyota Cup twice before (playing instead of Marseille in 93 and playing as the champion of the Champions League in 94), but it is a pity that the team of kings who are invincible in Europe failed twice in a row in this stadium Sand, leaving Capello with no small regret.

This time, he can finally make up for his regrets!

After Fiorentina expanded the score, the River Plate players still had no intention of counterattacking. It seemed that they just planned to get rid of the last few minutes and spend a wonderful Christmas holiday with their family or girlfriend. [

The referee is also very interesting. He has long seen that the game has entered garbage time, and he only gave a symbolic stoppage time of 1 minute, and he blew his whistle just half a minute after the stoppage time!

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Tokyo National Stadium was boiling, and all the fans supporting Fiorentina were celebrating that this European giant won the first Toyota Cup championship in club history!Became the first all-time champion team in football history!
