While the commentator was explaining the game, there was a busy scene in the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium.
The Fiorentine team doctor and masseurs massaged the players on the sidelines to help them recover from their fatigue as soon as possible to deal with the next penalty shootout. Capello first observed the players' mental state and confirmed that they had recovered from the blow of the goal. After he began to discuss matters related to the penalty shootout with Mourinho and other members of the Fiorentine coaching team around him.
"Jose, go call Francisco (Toldo) over, I have something to tell him."
"Okay, Fabio, I'll go now... By the way, I've been curious since the beginning. What exactly is your hand holding?" Mourinho, who was about to call Thordo over, pointed at Capello holding a piece of paper in his hand and asked curiously.
"This?" Capello looked at Mourinho with embarrassment, thinking that if you say this secret now, wouldn't it be a warning to the enemy?
"Haha, Jose, this question should be asked Fabio after the game ended." Just as Capello was hesitating, Murensten, who came with the team, smiled and pulled Mourinho aside, and explained in a low voice, "Now this gadget can be said to be our trump card of Fiorentina. You should not ask so much... Francisco! Come here quickly, coach Capello has something to come to you!"
"Ah? OK, I'll be here soon!" After hearing the call, Toldor, who was receiving a massage, quickly got up and rushed to Capello.
"Hurry this up, it's best to stuff it into your socks." Seeing Toldo approaching, Capello stuffed the note in his hand into the opponent's hand and whispered, "This records all Juventus players' habits to take penalty kicks. When you save the penalty later, you can take the seat according to the sign written on the note."
"Ah?!" This was the first time that Toldo had heard of this, and he couldn't help but grow up his mouth and sighed in surprise, "Can this thing be counted?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hide the things quickly, remember to check when you punish the penalty!" Capello slapped Tordo's back angrily, drove him back, and cursed with a smile, "If you can't save a penalty later, you'll look good!"
"Hey! Boss, can you just be reasonable..." Tordo also knew that Capello's last sentence was not serious, so he replied half-jokingly.
After sending Toldo back to the sidelines, Capello began to arrange the order of the penalty order of Fiorentine players in the next penalty shootout.
In a tense and orderly busy life, the rest time passed quickly without realizing it. When the referee Kragg asked the players of both sides to step onto the court again, tens of thousands of fans at the scene couldn't help but hold their voices and quietly waited for the upcoming penalty shootout!
In Fiorentina, the first player to come up to take the penalty was Ronaldo. The alien's footwork and fake moves were both top-notch, and he could fool Peruzzi very well.
Facing Peruzzi, who was standing on the goal line, Ronaldo played a gamble after a run-up. After tricking Peruzzi's center of gravity deviated from its original position, he directly swung his right leg and shot it, and the ball came into the net!
One to zero, Florence won the first goal!
After Ronaldo scored a penalty, the first player on Juventus' side to take the penalty kick, French international Zidane began to walk towards the penalty kick. What he wanted to challenge was Florence's main goalkeeper Toldo!
Seeing that Zidane came over to take the penalty kick, Tordo quickly opened the "secret book" in his hand, wrote down Zidane's penalty habits, and then stuffed the note into his socks, waiting for the whistle from the referee.
"Antonio, do you think Fiorentina will win this penalty shootout?" As if infected by the heavy atmosphere on the court, Groz didn't dare to show his breath and asked whispered in Zhuang Mingge's ear.
"This... I think we should almost win." Zhuang Mingge said that he had even counted all Juventus players' penalties for Capello, and it should have played a role no matter what. And judging from Toldo's actions just now, he should have referenced the information on the note.
After all, the small note from German goalkeeper Lehman in the quarter-finals with Argentina in the 2006 World Cup impressed Zhuang Mingge, so this time, he specially arranged for Mullensten and others to record the penalty habits of Juventus players through game video and secretly observing pre-match training. He summarized it on a piece of paper and handed it over to Capello.
I hope Toldo can perform at the European Cup in his previous life tonight, Zhuang Mingge thought nervously.
Just as Zhuang Mingge was up and down, Zidane was also a little confused about Toldo's actions just now, and at the same time he was curious about the content on the note, and secretly guessed in his heart what was written on the note.
However, at this moment, Krag blew the whistle in his mouth, indicating that Zidane could kick the penalty.
So Zidane just suppressed his curiosity for the time being, rushed towards the ball, and then directly pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!
Looking at Toldor again, the man was thinking about Zidane's punishment habits written on the note, and quickly rushed to his left!
The result was that Toldo almost ran into the penalty kick from Zidane. The ball flew into the goal behind him with the tip of Toldo's glove!
One to one, the two teams tied again!
Zidane raised his right arm and ran towards his teammate with a smile on his face. Although the ball was almost hit by Toldo, Zidane still felt a little scared when he recalled it, but since the ball had successfully flew into the goal guarded by the opponent, this episode was naturally insignificant.
Therefore, during the subsequent celebration with other Juventus players, Zidane soon threw out the strange move of Toldo before saving the penalty kick. The French did not realize that it was his negligence that Juventus suffered an unimaginable major blow in the subsequent penalty shootout!
While Juventus players were celebrating, Toldo sighed in his heart the magic of this note.
Chapter completed!
