Time passed by minute by minute, and the score on the field still did not change. Florence, who played at home, still led the Red and Black Army with one goal. Purple Lily's players used sharp counterattacks to make AC Milan, who had never found a breakthrough in the offense, miserable.

Since this is the last game before Christmas, the players on both sides do not want to use a loss as a holiday gift. Therefore, the competition between the two sides' ball rights began to become more and more intense as time goes by. The players on both sides fought wildly in the half of Fiorentina. Even the offensive players who usually don't have many defensive tasks at this time put down their figures and began to actively participate in the defense.

Although they are all involved in defense, the purpose of the players on both sides is different. Milan players regard this kind of front-court counter-attack as a way to protect their defense line. After all, when the whole team is pressing on the offense, the pressure on the back-court line is very high. A slip of numbers is likely to allow the opponent to make a beautiful counter-attack, resulting in a conceding goal. Therefore, the front-court counter-attack of the front-court players is crucial at this moment. Part of the reason why Milan's performance was so bad last season was that the aging of front-court players caused their anti-attack ability to drop significantly.

The reason why Fiorentina players actively participate in defense is even simpler. Since they have set the tone of defensive counterattack and established a bun tactic with Baggio as the core, all they have to do is to cut off the opponent's ball and 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 even more intense. Costa and Effenberg both retreated to this line to help Cripa, who were unable to do anything, and Dibiagio, who came to resist AC Milan's attack. Only captain Barty and Robert Baggio were left on the frontcourt.

In the 70th minute of the game, Savicevic retreated from the frontcourt to get the ball and broke through. As a result, Rui Costa, who was returned to the defense, was knocked to the ground. Rui Costa, who is famous for his elegance, also began to foul the defense. The fierce competition in this game can be seen.

AC Milan's revenge also followed. During a fight, Deserley "accidentally" raised his elbow and hit Kripa in the face. The Italian midfielder covered his face and fell to the ground. The referee's whistle rang and hurried over to check Kripa's injury and gave a verbal warning to Deserley. The Frenchman smiled at the referee friendly. After all, his foul did tend to stand up for his teammates, otherwise what he received now should be a yellow card.

Although such foul actions occur frequently, these fouls did not ignite the anger of both sides. The players on both sides put more energy on the court and did not think of turning the game into a full martial arts. They were still trying hard to find the offensive route.

In the 74th minute, Panucci made two consecutive passes and one-on-one cooperation with Donadoni on the wing, and then broke through to the edge of the Fiorentina penalty area and suddenly made a cross. Nesta rushed to the ball before Cruivit, but he didn't want to clear the ball, so the ball jumped to Savicevic's feet.

Savicevic received the clearing ball, looked forward, and found that there was no Fiorentine player in front of him. Kripa ran to help Lanna. Dibiagio was looking at Boban on the other side. Costa and Effenberg were both behind him due to their positioning problems... So Savicevic immediately swung his left foot, and then suddenly took a long shot from a distance thirty meters away from the goal!

Zhuang Mingge's heart jumped violently. He knew that Savicevic's long-range shot was quite a nerve-wracking sword. When he was not good, you didn't know where he shot, but if he was good, he might be able to make a world wave. The most memorable thing was the European Championship final between AC Milan and Barcelona last year. Yugoslav, who had not scored in the league all season, used a flying fairy-like hanging shot in that game to hit the ball into the goal guarded by Spanish legendary goalkeeper Subizareta.

Of course, that kind of long shot is not something you can do by just hitting. Savicevic's long shot angle is good, but his strength is very average. Although Tordo did not expect the opponent to shoot directly from this distance at the beginning, he quickly reacted, quickly moved two steps to the left, and then hugged the ball tightly in his arms!

"Counterattack! Counterattack!" Thordo, who blocked the shot, shouted, and immediately kicked the ball out with a big foot!

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

Although Toldo is the goalkeeper on the court, his big-footed kick-off skills were also well trained by Mullensten, who was invited by Zhuang Mingge. Perhaps he did not achieve the accuracy of playing wherever he pointed, but he would not deviate from the predetermined position too far.

The ball drew a parabola in the air and fell towards AC Milan's half. Two figures below were pulling each other to compete for the first landing point, one was Costakuta and the other was Batistuta!

Batistuta, who was 1.85 meters tall, pressed Costakuta, who was disturbing behind him with his body, and then tried hard to stretch his neck to push the ball...

In the competition with Costakuta, Bati has completely occupied a favorable position. As long as he can stop this ball, even if Costakuta interferes with him behind him, Bati's physique will not be affected too much.

The actual situation was as expected by Bati. He successfully stopped the ball from Tordo, then leaned against Costakuta, pushed the ball to his side and back with his right foot. Baggio, who had been ready for counterattack, immediately ran towards the direction of the ball! Behind him was the old captain of AC Milan, Franco Baresi.

Seeing Bati's pass the ball, Costakuta quickly turned around and gave up the task of marking Bati and rushed to defend Bagi.

But Baggio obviously has an advantage in speed competition. After receiving the pass from Bati, he continued to sprint forward. Although Costa Cuta and Baresi who were chasing behind him were in a state of no ball, they sadly discovered that even so, they could not catch up with Baggio with the ball under their feet...

Without the interference of other defensive players, Baggio successfully broke into AC Milan's penalty area. Facing old Rossi, who once set a record of continuous goals, Baggio adopted the same method as Inzaghi - directly dribbling the ball past Rossi who attacked from the side, and then kicked the ball into the empty goal!

Two to zero!
