Chapter 448 Controversy Reappears

PS: This is the 73,000 recommended update. The next time the 76,000 update is recommended. I hope everyone will support it.

After Blank scored, Capello began to deploy troops on the court. He first replaced Davis, who received a yellow card in the game, and asked him to specifically target Zidane. At the same time, Capello also replaced Zambrota with Angeloma, who was somewhat exhausted under the joint impact of Dilivio and Pesotto, and strengthened the team's defense.

"Let Alessandro keep an eye on Pierro, and tell others not to foul the Juventus players within thirty meters." This is the last thing Capello said to him before he came on the court.

Capello's purpose is very simple, which is to use Tomasi and others to strangle Juventus's points on the court that can control the ball, thereby reducing the probability of the old woman scoring through a set piece in the frontcourt.

Capello's move was quite effective. As Fiorentina players began to tighten the fence under Capello's instructions, they carefully guarded their half-time and did not easily foul Juventus players within the 30-meter area. They focused on and double-teamed players such as Pierro and Zidane, which greatly reduced the number of set balls Juventus got in the frontcourt.

In the 82nd minute, Capello made the last substitution adjustment in the game. Vieri, who fought against Juventus's defense for most of the time, was replaced. Cruise, who was praised as a super substitute by Fiorentina fans, got a chance to play.

Although there were less than ten minutes left before the end of the game, Cruise still worked diligently on the court to complete the head coach's instructions: catch the ball, support, counter-attack, and shoot, all the actions were stern and unremitting.

The efforts and seriousness of the Argentine striker in the game made him quickly get a good opportunity to score. Just four minutes after he got on the court, Cruise took advantage of a man-tapping mistake by Yuliano, and received a cross from Carlos and headed the ball to Juventus' goal!

Cruise looked at the header he pushed out and felt that this shot must have been there. He believed in his feelings very much. And looking at Peruzzi's actions, the Argentinian believed that even if he could touch the ball, it would be after the ball crossed the goal line.

However, something unexpected happened. After a rush, Peruzzi, who was guarding the Juventus goal, took out the ball with his right hand and threw it out with all his strength!

Seeing this scene, all the players on the field focused their attention on the referee. Fiorentina players believed that the ball had crossed the goal line before completing the save, and Peruzzi's actions were entirely intentional interference with the referee's penalty; while Juventus firmly believed that Cruise's shot was successfully blocked by Peruzzi, and the Fiorentian's view was unreasonable.

At this moment, the slow-motion replay of the large screen on the court was clearly displayed. Before Peruzzi took out the ball, the ball had crossed the goal line at least half a meter...

Such ironclad evidence made the Juventus players unable to continue to refute, so they had to stop the game and look at the referee to see what kind of punishment this guy would make.

Seeing the players stop the game and focus their attention on themselves, the referee did not change his penalty because of the game replay, but made a gesture to the players on the court. The meaning was obvious: Fiorentina's shot was invalid and the game continued.

The meaning expressed by the referee made all Juventus players very happy, but it also angered the Fiorentine players. Effenberg kept asking questions and annoyed the referee. The German Tiger received a yellow card, which also means that Effenberg will miss the second round of the game.

Seeing that the Germans still had not given up, several Juventus players surrounded him tacitly, separated Effenberg from the referee, intending to let Effenberg "calm" a little.

However, when they separated, Yuliano and Deschamps made some moves in their hands and pushed the Germans a few times. This time, they stabbed the hornet's nest. Naturally, the Fiorentine players could not see their deputy captain being bullied like this, especially among them, there was a traitor like Yuliano.

So, Thomassi, Dibiagio, Carlos, Stam and other players rushed over and glared at the Juventus players: Do you want to touch our people again?

When the referee saw that the gunpowder smelled so strong, his first reaction was not to calm the emotions of the players on both sides, but to take out the yellow cards from his shirt pocket and start a new round of yellow card delivery.

"Karin, I remember, this referee is from Spain, right?" Zhuang Mingge looked at the referee who imitated Santa Claus and gave a "gift package" on the court, and asked in confusion.

"Tony, you're right. This Mr. Flores is one of the referees trained by the Spanish Football Association. He has great hope of enforcing the French World Cup next year."

"No wonder this guy doesn't want to put the card in his hand back in his pocket. The Spanish referees are not all so virtuous. The red and yellow cards are more frequent than spam text messages."

In the end, in this first leg of the Champions League semi-finals where the referee became the protagonist on the field, Fiorentina tied one-to-one with Juventus, Ronaldo helped Purple Lily take the lead in the first half, and French veteran Blank used a frontcourt free kick to tie the score for the old woman in the second half.

By the way, in the conflict in the last stage of the game, Stam, Tordo, Dibiagio and Carlos of Fiorentina all received yellow cards, and Deschamps and Uliano, who had made pushing moves on Juventus, were also treated the same way.

At the post-match press conference, a large number of reporters gathered in the lecture hall of Alp Stadium. These people were all trying to see the two head coaches fighting off the court, hoping to dig out some heavy information from the two of them.

At the press conference, the cunning Capello did not fire the referee's penalty in this game as the majority of journalists wished, and said he was quite satisfied with the result of the game. He also won a draw at the Alp Stadium and also scored a away goal. In the second round, Fiorentina, who played at home, would have a considerable initiative.

However, Lippi's speech made Capello's face turn dark. As soon as the Silver Fox came up, he publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty in this game: "We had a chance to win in this game, but unfortunately the referee blew away a good goal from Paul (Montero), forcing us to face a very difficult situation in the next game."

The Silver Fox's complaint immediately attracted Capello's angry counterattack: "Coach Lippi said it very reasonably. If Ronaldo had run a little slower at that time, I believe Montero would have already run to the stands as an audience member, and Ronaldo's fate would probably become the next Basten because of this executioner's malicious foul."

The reporters present were shocked when they heard this. Those who worked in the football circle all year round knew what Capello meant. The infamous Boli, who had committed a malicious foul on Basten in the Champions League final, forced the ballet prince to announce his retirement!

Now Capello is actually saying that Montero is the second Boli, how can Lippi tolerate it? Isn’t this clearly saying that he intends to not restrain Montero’s behavior, allowing the Uruguayans to deliberately hurt others so as to increase Juventus’ chances of winning?
Chapter completed!
