Chapter 202 Champions Cup First Battle (Part 2)

The game went into the second half, and the score on the field was still 1-0, with Fiorentina leading the Wanderers away.

In the rest of the first half, although the Wanderers continued to attack Fiorentina's defense under the leadership of Gascoin, they did not create any good scoring opportunities. Instead, they were taken by Fiorentina to make several wonderful counterattacks. If it weren't for the goal post's help, the score would have been rewritten to 3-0 by the end of the first half.

Fericano and McCoister were entangled in the penalty area. He had quite some experience in guarding such tall centers. In the team's training matches, he has always played against Batistuta and Vieri, who claims to be Batisti's apprentice. He was very experienced in dealing with such tall centers. Especially now, McCoister, who is 33 years old, has begun to experience a sharp decline in physical fitness, and this traditional center relies on his own physical fitness most. Therefore, Fericano, who was just 28, seemed very good when he was marking him.

At this time, Laudrup Jr. barely broke through Lanna's defense on the flank and made a cross. Filicano immediately entangled with McCoyster, and then rushed to the ball first.

Gascoin rushed up to try to intercept the ball, but Dibiagio, who was faster, snatched in front of him. The two were about the same height, but Dibiagio's physical fitness was much stronger than Gascoin, who was drinking heavily every day.

Gascoin is indeed a rare genius player in England football for ten years and one of the most creative midfielders in Europe. However, his indulgent attitude towards life made him leave the mainstream league early. He was overly drunk and had some problems at this time, but it had not yet fully exploded. After he reached the age of 30, his long-term bad living habits would completely destroy the genius midfielder.

After getting the ball, Dibiagio did not dribble the ball and pushed it forward, but quickly passed the ball to Effenberg in front.

The German Tigers turned around with the ball, dodged Ian Ferguson's defense, and then handed the ball to Rui Costa who was pulling to the left.

The Portuguese midfielder looked up and watched for a while, raised his foot and sent a long pass across the entire court, directly sending the ball from the left side of the half to the right side of the opponent's half. The one who was rushing towards the landing point was Ronaldo, who opened the first record for the team in the first half!

Costa's long pass is quite accurate. As the Rangers just pressed the attack, their backcourt was full of space for accelerating the sprint. Although it seemed that Costa's passing strength was used relatively strongly, this just allowed Ronaldo to exert his sprint speed.

A defender from the left immediately rushed towards the ball's landing point, but Ronaldo rushed directly to the goal direction, and he needed to turn around before chasing.

The speed of an alien who had never suffered a serious knee injury was terrible. At his peak, he said that he used his physical fitness to forcibly overtake many times, and was naturally no problem to deal with the slow-turning guard of the Rangers.

Seeing that his teammates could not clear the ball in front of Ronaldo, Boli immediately chose to run directly towards his goal. After all, no matter how happy Ronaldo ran on the side, his final shot would have to return to the middle. In other words, Fiorentina's real threat is Robert Baggio who followed in the middle.

But Baggio, who Boli wants to deal with, is not Yi and others. At this time, Baggio is not the team organizer of Brescia later, but a forward who is good at agility. At his peak, he is also very fast. Boli, who is desperately chasing back, didn't catch up with him...

Ronaldo finally caught up with Costa's long pass when he approached the corner of the penalty area. When he looked up, he found that Baggio had followed from the middle.

But he didn't have time to slow down immediately. After all, if he slowed down and stopped the ball, a few seconds would be enough for the Rangers guard behind him to entangle him, and this rare offensive opportunity would be wasted.

So, without slowing down at all, the Brazilian raised his right foot and passed a horizontal pass without waiting for the ball to land!

Baggio also saw Ronaldo's pass at this time, and once again increased his speed. Boli, who was chasing behind him, failed to touch Baggio. Baggio, who rushed into the penalty area, stretched out his foot to stop the ball from Ronaldo, then tilted his body and faced the attacking Wanderers goalkeeper, easily hit a curve ball with his right foot...

The opponent's goalkeeper could not save it, so he could only watch the ball flew over his head and then fell obliquely into the goal behind him...

2-0! Fiorentina once again broke through the Rangers' door with a quick counterattack!

After conceding the ball, the Rangers did not stop the offensive rhythm. Head coach Smith's response was to make the offense more fierce - he might not be able to see that Fiorentina played the defensive counterattack tactic in this game, but the current game situation made it difficult for him to take advantage of the game against Fiorentina. Then the Rangers are likely to be sent to the League Cup after the group stage.

As a result, the crazy attacking Wanderer was hit hard again ten minutes later.

In the 60th minute, Gascoin dribbled the ball and tried to break out in the middle, but the ball under his feet was cut off by Kripa who was chasing back.

After tackle, Kripa swept his right foot and passed the ball to Costa, who was also retreating. The Portuguese raised his foot and made a long pass directly behind the Wanderers defenders!

At this time, a purple figure rushed out obliquely and received the ball at the front of the penalty area!

It's Ronaldo! A standard direct pass and oblique insertion!

Ronaldo got the ball in front of the opponent's goalkeeper who was attacking. He did not slow down and directly rushed to the left of the goalkeeper and rushed over easily. When the goalkeeper of the Wanderers turned around and looked at the ball in a mess, all he could see was the number printed on the back of Ronaldo's jersey!

Three to zero! The overall situation has been decided!

After leading by three goals, the morale of the Wanderers players has declined to the extreme. If they still hope to equalize the score when they are two goals behind, then they are three goals behind and less than half an hour before the end of the game, I am afraid that no player thinks his team can still create miracles.

However, the Fiorentine players did not stop when they saw it, but instead turned away and began to attack at the home court of the Wanderers, intending to vent their resentment that the team lost to Vicenza three days ago...

As a result, the players of the Rangers, whose morale has dropped, are obviously unable to keep up with Fiorentina's offensive rhythm and are led by the high morale Fiorentina players.

In the 85th minute, two Fiorentine players who came on the bench completed a wonderful cooperation. Djokaf played Alex Clelander back on the side and broke into the penalty area. Another kickback went to the back to make up for the defense, and cleverly sent the ball to Philip Inzaghi, who was also a substitute!
