Chapter 444: The Eve of the Semifinals (Part 1)

"The game has begun. There are many highlights in this game between Fiorentina and Parma. First, can Fiorentina, which has been unbeaten in the league for 51 consecutive games, continue to maintain its state and break the record of 58 unbeaten in the league set by AC Milan four years ago; the second highlight is the master-apprentice match between the coaches of these two teams, Capello and Ancelotti. Is it the master who proves that Jiang or the old is hot, or is the apprentice who once looked down on him a lesson? Let's wait and see..."

Although Fiorentina won the Serie A championship this season and completing the three consecutive league championships is basically a foregone conclusion, Parma led by Ancelotti tried hard to cause some trouble for Fiorentina's championship journey, or to make things difficult for Fiorentina, and they almost succeeded: Buffon blocked Barty's long shots and Ronaldo's single shots in the first half, while Crespo scored in front of the goal in the 22nd minute and Chiesa's free kick in the 35th minute almost broke through the goal guarded by Tordo. Fortunately, the post at Frankie Stadium saved Fiorentina, which made Purple Lily not end the first half with a score behind.

"Gabriel's luck doesn't seem to be very good." During the halftime break, Zhuang Mingge said helplessly. Up to now, the Argentine God of War has only scored eleven goals in the league, ranking last for the four forwards. Even Vieri, a self-proclaimed apprentice of Batti, has scored more goals in the league this season than him.

Although Zhuang Mingge knew that Bati had the habit of sleeping in spring in history (that is, before the winter break, Bati was as unstoppable as a real god of war, and he started to doze off at the beginning of spring next year and fell into a long-term goal drought), Zhuang Mingge originally thought that in this team of Florence, which is countless times stronger than in history, the Argentine god of war should not have this problem.

But some things are so strange. No matter how much preparation you have made before, what should happen will still happen.

For example, Batistuta, judging from Bati's performance in this game, the Argentine God of War was indeed very strong in the game, running and fighting, and the shooting was as strong as ever, but it was impossible to break it. This made Zhuang Mingge very depressed: Is there really something cursing Bati in the dark that makes Bati unable to score the goal after the winter break?

Bati's bad luck also seemed to have affected other players in Fiorentina. For example, Ronaldo, the aliens got a one-on-one chance twice in the first half, but they were incredibly kicked directly into Buffon's arms or kicked directly out of the baseline. This result made the Brazilian grin on the court and jumped his feet.

Capello on the court seemed to realize how terrible the contagiousness of Bati's goal drought was, so the Italian coach immediately began to make adjustments: in the 59th minute of the game, Capello replaced the Argentine God of War with Julio Cruise.

Seeing that he was replaced, Barty was inevitably depressed. After all, as the captain of the team, he did not bring a victory to the team, which made him feel unacceptable, but he still obeyed the head coach's arrangement and walked off the court.

I don't know if Cruise is really the lucky star of Fiorentina. The Argentine striker immediately brought a goal to Fiorentina after he came on the court: In the 64th minute, Zemaria's pass to Stanichi was intercepted by Davis, and the Dutch immediately passed the ball to Redondo in the middle.

At this time, Parma was at the point where the whole team was pressing on the offense before they had time to recover the formation. Redondo, who was very good at observing the situation on the field, immediately sent a long pass over the top!

After the ball was ferrying through Cruise's header, it fell behind Toulam. As soon as the Frenchman turned around to intercept the ball, he felt a gust of wind blowing by himself. In the blink of an eye, a player wearing a purple jersey appeared in front of him!

"Ronaldo! Unparalleled speed and explosive power! He received the ball before the Parma defender returned to defense!"

After getting the ball, Buffon was the only obstacle to the alien's goal. Faced with the goalkeeper Parma who saved his own single shot twice in the first half, Ronaldo used his pendulum-style excellence, which he was best at. He shook Buffon's center of gravity and then swung his right foot to send the ball into the net.

One to zero! Fiorentina leads Parma at home!

When the score was behind, the defensive counterattack tactics Ancelotti had formulated for the team before the game naturally became useless, because with Capello's unconformity, Fiorentina, who was leading by one goal, could take advantage of the opportunity of Parma huddling in the backcourt to defend and try her best to delay the game time and keep the score until the end of the game.

Therefore, at this time, Parma's players had no choice but to change their tactics under the command of Ancelotti and actively attacked the goal of Fiorentina.

Although Parma's pressing attack puts some pressure on Fiorentina's defense, the game has become better for Fiorentine players - the more fierce the opponent attacks, the more opportunities they will have to counterattack.

Although Ancelotti realized this, he had no choice. In his opinion, losing one goal and losing two goals is no different for Parma. Anyway, it is a rhythm that he can't get points.

In the 83rd minute, Parma, who could not catch up for a long time, made a mistake in passing. Stenic's straight pass was directly passed to Redondo. Argentina's midfielder immediately made a long pass with his left foot to launch a quick counterattack. Cruise once again beat Cannavaro to head the ball, assisting his forward partner Ronaldo to score, expanding the score to 2-0!

In the end, with Ronaldo's double score in the last half hour of the game, Fiorentina finally failed to capsize at home, and defeated Ancelotti's Parma with a score of 2-0 and won a victory.

However, the Fiorentine players were not happy for long, because at the Frankie Stadium a week later, facing Inter Milan coached by Hodgson, Bati and Inzaghi failed to break through the goal guarded by Palioca, which made Purple Lily finally tied by the Nerazzurri at home and only got one point.

Zhuang Mingge was not angry about this draw. In addition to the impact of Bati's recent unlucky goal fortune, Capello did not send all the main players in this game, which is also one of the reasons why Fiorentina only got one draw.

Well, who made it happen in three days that the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals between Juventus. The team tied in the league and tied. Isn’t the difference between the 20 points between the second place prepared for this time?

By the way, another highlight of this round of Serie A is the civil war between AC Milan and Juventus's sacred league. Juventus, who was poached Vieri many years in advance, still created a bloody case at San Siro Stadium, but the score shrank from six to one in history to four to zero. Zebra Prince Pierro scored twice in the game, Zidane and Lombardo each scored a goal, leading the Zebras to win away against AC Milan.
