Chapter 465 Decisive Battle in Munich (5)
PS: In the new week, I hope everyone will support me, thank you everyone~
"Gooooooooal! The goal is Fernando Redondo! The Argentine inserted the offense in time to help Fiorentina score the first goal!" Rao roared loudly in the broadcast room, celebrating this goal of Fiorentina. Although he is not a fan of Fiorentina, in this Champions League final, as an Italian, of course he has to support the team from Italy. "Now Fiorentina leads Dortmund 1-0! Judging from the scenes in the previous ten minutes, as long as the Fiorentina players can maintain this state in the future, then Purple Lily is very likely to achieve the great achievements of the two consecutive championships of the Champions League!"
Rao's words made many Fiorentine fans sitting in front of the TV to watch the game excited. They originally thought that the team won the triple crown last season was the peak moment in club history. Unexpectedly, this season Fiorentine not only broke the league unbeaten record held by AC Milan, but now it still has hope to win the Champions League championship again!
Seeing that it was his own goal, Capello was relieved and sat back on the bench behind him, calming down a lot.
Although Capello made the players look like a full-court press in this game, using frequent front court siege to interfere with Dortmund's backcourt organization and consume the physical fitness of the opponent's players, the Italian coach was still quite worried. After all, if this continues, Fiorentina's defensive power in the backcourt will naturally be affected to a certain extent, so that the opponent can gain a leading advantage.
Capello's worries are not unreasonable. After all, the oppressive style used in Fiorentina in this game is very different from the style he played when he coached at AC Milan.
If Dortmund scores first, Heathfield will definitely make the team shrink as a whole to play a defensive counterattack, and reduce the offensive space of Fiorentine players as much as possible. At the same time, due to the team's formation recovery, the physical energy consumed by Summer and Paul Sousa in the game will be greatly reduced, because in this case, they basically only need to sit firmly in the backcourt and run, command, and leave the rest to others.
If this is the case, then Fiorentina will be difficult to play in the next game.
But the current situation is that Fiorentina scored the goal first, so Capello no longer has to worry about Dortmund shrinking his formation and playing with his iron barrel formation. If Heathfield really dares to do this, Capello wouldn't mind comparing with the opponent who is more vulgar. Anyway, Fiorentina has never done anything before that he wouldn't attack after falling down in the backcourt for more than ten minutes.
So, the Dortmund players who were behind in the score had to continue attacking the goal of Fiorentina. Although they knew that doing so would give the opponent more chances to score goals, they had no choice now.
It was raining all night long. When the game reached the 31st minute, Paul Sosa retreated slightly to take the ball from Heinrich. Effenberg immediately rushed over to grab the ball when he saw this. The Portuguese saw someone coming and turned around quickly, trying to avoid the opponent's press.
What the Portuguese midfielder did not expect was that the German Tigers' sprint speed this time was much faster than he expected, which led to Effenberg's arrival at the Portuguese when Sousa turned halfway through!
When Sosa saw that Effenberg had rushed to him, she was shocked and her feet couldn't help but get a little confused, and then...
"Sousa! Paul Sousa fell to the ground! He looked very painful..." Rao in the broadcast room was full of doubts. From his perspective, Effenberg had not encountered the Portuguese midfielder just now, so why did Paul Sousa fall on the turf?
Fake fall? It doesn't look like it! Besides, Dortmund was the offensive side at that time. As long as Sousa avoided Effenberg's press and found an opportunity to make a long pass, Dortmund would be likely to launch a quick counterattack. He had no need to do this at all!
Even if the Portuguese wanted to fake a fall, it would not be realistic to let Effenberg carry a yellow or red card. The referee was standing beside them at that time. The referee could see clearly what happened just now. Besides, his immediate boss, UEFA President Johnson, was watching the game in the box. Naturally, he would not be so stupid that he made a misjudgment at this time that it would make a blind eye on Johnson’s face.
"The Dortmund's team doctor arrived on the court. They are now going to provide emergency treatment for Sousa. Let's take a look at the slow motion replay... Effenberg rushed up to press Sousa, and the Portuguese drove the ball and turned around to avoid him... But the German speed was obviously beyond Sousa's expectations... It's here! Sousa stepped on the ball when she turned around and lost her balance, and then fell on the turf!" Rao, who finally found the truth from the slow motion, said happily, because this game replay was enough to clear Effenberg's suspicion of foul. At the same time, he also played in Serie A. "Sousa was really careless. She would step on the ball when she turned around, and it seemed that he had strained the right knee ligament, which was where he had surgery before."
Zhuang Mingge also sighed. Of course, he knew that Paul Sousa was rated as the four talented men of the midfielder by later fans (the other three were Albertini, Redondo and Guardiola), but his continuous injuries after leaving Juventus did greatly affect his competitive state.
At this moment, the referee also made a final judgment through the replay of this game. Effenberg, who was proven to be innocent, was not punished; at the same time, after a diagnosis, the Dortmund team doctor made a helpless gesture, indicating that Sousa could no longer continue the game.
"What a damn!" After seeing the gesture made by the team doctor to him, Heathfield knew that Paul Sousa could no longer continue to play, so he had to call a player from the bench, "Michelle (Zorke), get ready to play."
Although Heathfield also knows that Zorke does not have the ability to control the game like Sousa. Like many German midfielders in this era, accurate long shots and unremitting running are what he is best at. However, the Dortmund coach now does not have any good choices. Who makes the team's bench only have a few available materials?
Lars Ricken, who has been popular with German media in recent years, is good, but this young man is not good at defense. If Heathfield replaces him and plays against Fiorentina, Dortmund will only die even worse. Didn't you see that Summer, a hidden injury on the team's defense line? If the game speed is accelerated and he is sent off the court, it will be really difficult for Dortmund to turn the tables.
After looking at Paul Sosa who was still lying on the grass and covering her knees in pain, Heathfield sighed heavily without anyone noticing it.
Chapter completed!
