When Capello saw the ball shot by Inzagi flew into AC Milan's goal, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was very grateful that the team was able to equalize the total score before the end of the first half. After all, the attack at any cost like before took considerable risks, and always did not score goals, which was also a big blow to the morale of the players.
The most important thing is that if Fiorentina, which cannot be captured for a long time, is accidentally attacked by the opponent and breaks its own goal with a counterattack, then Fiorentina will be completely in a passive situation.
Therefore, Capello is very grateful to Inzagi, who scored the first record for the team. His goal not only stabilized the morale of the army well, but also forced AC Milan to a desperate situation!
You should know that in the first leg of the two teams, AC Milan, who played at home, only defeated Fiorentina with a score of 2-1. Therefore, as long as the Fiorentine players can maintain the score of 1-0 until the end of the game, then when the total score is tied, the Ross and Blacks will be eliminated by Fiorentina for few away goals.
Such a result is undoubtedly disastrous for AC Milan and Ranieri, who are determined to qualify for next season's European competition through the Italian Cup.
Therefore, after the game restarted, AC Milan players finally walked out of the tortoise shell they created themselves and took the initiative to attack. Under the leadership of Boban and Albertini, Milan players kept falling down in the midfield, looking for a fatal gap for a blow.
As for Fiorentina, after receiving support from Carlos and Zambrota, she took advantage of the number of midfielders than the opponent to launch a fierce press against AC Milan. The players all wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fight again with a few minutes left in the game. After all, as long as Fiorentina scored another goal, the team's hope of advancing to the Italian Cup final will become even greater.
However, the Fiorentine players were too active in the midfield, which forced the back line to start pressing to ensure that the three lines would not be disconnected, which left huge space for the Milan strikers, Cruivette and Via.
In the first minute of injury time in the first half, Boban sent a precise straight pass under the attack of Zambrota and Costa. The ball broke through the middle defense line composed of Davis and Redondo and rolled to Via's feet.
If Nesta hadn't retreated in time and stole the pass from Wei's to Cruivet in the middle, AC Milan would probably have a single shot at the last moment of the first half... With Cruivet's strength, such a single shot may be converted into a real goal by him.
After being scared by this sudden counterattack, the Fiorentine players restrained their scrambles and began to pay more attention to protecting their own defense. After all, they have the advantage of the situation on the field now, and they can use their best defensive counterattack to slowly grind the Red and Black Legion to death.
In this way, Florence, who had stabilized the rhythm again, successfully brought the score of 1-0 to the halftime break.
During the halftime break, Capello and Ranieri did not make any adjustments to the lineup on the court. The former is because he believes that the IQ and self-regulation ability of these players will basically not make any major mistakes as long as they can maintain sufficient soberness in the game. The latter has no substitutions, more because there is no one in the hands of the tumbler. Does anyone think that the elderly and weak Savicevic will be more reliable than Boban at this time? Or is Andreas Anderson more capable of taking the lead than Via and Cruivett?
So, after the second half of the game started, an interesting scene appeared on the court: the Fiorentine players began to consciously shrink the formation and launched a defensive counterattack; AC Milan, who did not want to lose the last fig leaf, launched an active attack - all of this was almost completely opposite to the situation in the first half!
Since Carlos and Zambrota both moved to the full-back position to participate in the defense, Fiorentina's formation became 532. This change not only made the home team's defense more stable, but also under the dispatch of the two major midfielders Costa and Redondo, Fiorentina did not give in to control the midfield because of shrinking the defense line; at the same time, the double forward configuration of Bati and Inzagi was enough to restrain Milan's defense line, making them dare not rashly press forward to participate in the attack with their teammates.
As a result, the two teams began to enter a long stalemate. Although the players of both sides created several good shooting opportunities on the court during this period, they failed to convert them into goals.
Seeing that the end of the game was getting closer and closer, and the score on the field was still 1 to 0, Ranieri finally couldn't sit still and began to mobilize his troops to prepare for his life.
However, the resources of the tumbler are far less abundant than those when he coached in Florence, so even if he wants to work hard, it will be in vain if he doesn't have enough capital in his hands.
In the end, when the referee blew the final whistle, the score on the field was frozen to 1-0. With the two teams tied the total score, Fiorentina successfully reached the final of the Copa Italy with a slight advantage of scoring many goals away!
At this moment, there was a thunderous cheer over Frankie's stadium. Although a Copa Italy is nothing for Fiorentine players and fans, the temptation of the triple crown and the victory of the game still made them very happy.
AC Milan was filled with sadness. The Italian Cup was eliminated and the Rossoneri would miss European competitions for two consecutive years. This cruel fact made the Maldini and others unable to face it calmly.
After defeating AC Milan and successfully advanced to the Italian Cup final, on April 11, Fiorentina ushered in the 29th round of Serie A. This time, Purple Lily will face Vicenza led by Guidolin at home.
Since Fiorentina's schedule has been very dense recently, starting from late March, it is basically a weekly double-game pace. This continuous competition has inevitably led to a decline in the state and physical fitness of the players. Under the advice of a number of experts from the physiotherapy center, Capello finally chose to strategically give up this league and retain his strength to welcome the second leg of the game with Barcelona next week.
Therefore, although Fiorentina's opponent in this game is far inferior to Vicenza, who is strong rivals like Barcelona and Parma, Zi Lily, who played with a full substitute, still lost after fighting with the opponent for 90 minutes and lost the game one-to-two.
