Chapter 98: Vialli and Barty

Just fifteen minutes later, the top battle between Florence and Juventus began again with the referee's whistle.

The head coaches of both sides seem to think that the lineup they put on the court is perfect now, and did not make any substitution adjustments during the halftime break.

Under the command of Ranieri, Fiorentina continued the defensive counterattack tactics in the first half. After all, this tactic was quite successful most of the first half, and Piero's magical strokes could not be easily played.

However, what no one expected was that Piero, who scored the equalizer goal at the last moment of the first half, erupted like a volcano at the beginning of the second half!

Just five minutes into the second half, Piero attracted the attention of Dibiagio and Ferrara on the left, and then cleverly passed the ball to the penalty area of ​​Fiorentina. Viali, who disappeared throughout the game, rushed to grab the ball's landing point before Filicano returned to defense, and overtook the score with an angry shot!

This goal boosted Juventus' morale, and Fiorentina players began to panic after scoring. Some people wanted to play against their opponents, while others wanted to continue defending...

After all, after more than 20 minutes ahead, he was equalized by his opponent and overtaken in just five minutes (not counting the time of halftime). No matter who he is, he will begin to doubt the team's tactics.

Taking advantage of the panic of the Fiorentine players, under Lippi's signal, Juventus' two full-backs Pesotto and Toricelli began to push forward and assist together. The Zebras' offensive momentum became more and more crazy. Juventus' midfield configuration allows two full-backs to insert assists with confidence and boldness, and this high-speed insertion from the backcourt can better play the technical characteristics of both of them.

In the 55th minute, Toricelli inserted from the right high speed. His running attracted part of the attention of the Fiorentina defense line. However, at this moment, Toricelli, who dribbled the ball, handed the ball directly to Piero, who had been transferred to the front of the penalty area, at some point!

After Piero received the ball, he turned around forcibly under the control of Filicano. The defenders of Fiorentina began to get nervous. This little guy's performance during this period can be said to be a monster...

Filicano pressed it tightly, and Ferrara's attention began to unconsciously touch Piero. Of course, his attention was more on Viali, who was wearing the Juventus captain's armband. This local scorer just scored a goal, so naturally he should not be underestimated.

However, Piero did not hand the ball directly to Viali this time, nor did he pass it back to Paul Sousa behind him to reorganize an attack. Instead, when he turned halfway, he picked the ball to the left side of the court! There, Dilivio was plugging in at high speed!

When Viali saw the ball flying over, she quickly made a move. Dilivio, who had been assisted from the left, rushed into Fiorentina's penalty area, and then stopped Piero's pass!

Ferrara turned around quickly, intending to block Dilivio's shot as soon as possible. However, when he turned around, Ferrara found that Dilivio had swung his left foot...

At this time, no one noticed Ferrara's movements, and everyone's eyes fell on Dilivio. Just now, everyone watched Dilivio swing his left foot after removing the ball. Tordo immediately rushed out and tried his best to stretch his arms, intending to use his body to block Dilivio's shot!

However, Dilivio's left foot shot seemed to be full of force, but the moment he touched the ball, he gently picked the ball - passing the ball!

The ball drew a wonderful arc in the air, flew over Ferrara's head, and then fell to the middle...

After receiving this wonderful pass, Viali easily scored a goal in the empty door.

Three to one! Just ten minutes into the second half, the home team Juventus expanded its lead on the field to two goals!

"Viali is the core of this Juventus team!" Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the changes in the situation on the court.

Piero did add aura and creativity to Juventus, but Viali is obviously more suitable as a team leader. He works diligently on the court and uses active defense to drive the entire team. When he needs to score goals, he can also score goals and score. Perhaps he is not as talented as Baggio and Piero, but what makes Viali stand out in the Zebras is his running and steals; he makes Juventus no longer the elegant and steady old woman in the Platini era, but becomes a complete shrew. This may be the biggest change brought to Juventus by Viali or the "Silver Fox" Lipi.

Although the performance on the court seems to be a big opening and closing, and even a little simple and rough, it can indeed catch many opponents off guard.

Seeing the score turned into three to one, Ranieri couldn't sit still. Seeing that Juventus' offense became more and more fierce, he began to stand on the sidelines and shout loudly, trying to restore Fiorentine's players to normal, and drive all the players on the bench out to warm up, ready to make adjustments.

However, just as Ranieri was thinking about countermeasures on the sidelines, the Fiorentine players suddenly launched a counterattack that was called "magical" by the media after the game.

This is how it is...

Seeing that the team was thrown by the opponent in just ten minutes after the second half, Batistuta, who was standing in the penalty area, saw many of his teammates being discouraged. Effenberg, who was unwilling to admit defeat, was roaring on the side, trying to arouse their fighting spirit. So Bati ran to the center circle of the stadium without saying a word and said to Djokav: "Yuri (Djokav), will you choose to give up this game?"

"How is that possible!" Djokav said with a funny look, "This game will determine who will rank first in the league next!"

"Okay, remember, in the next time, if you see me standing within range, you and Stefan will have to find a way to pass the ball to me, that's it."

"Hey, are you crazy? Gabriel, you're going to fight the entire Juventus defense for more than half an hour!" Djokav was startled and quickly persuaded.

"Look at Juventus' defense, our skills are not yet at the level of being able to easily tear off their defense line, so we can only fight against them." Barty said fearlessly, "As long as I can fight for the opportunity, that little guy Inzagi should be able to seize it."

"Okay, I get it." Djokav said with a light punch from Barty.

In the following time, Fiorentina, who was behind in the score, launched a fierce counterattack against Juventus under the leadership of Bati and others!

With Fiorentina's huge pressure, it was originally a good opportunity for Juventus to counterattack, but this just exposed the shortcomings of Juventus players' absolute unfast speed. Even Piero and Dilivio, the fastest players in the frontcourt, were able to catch up with them in time and foul them, delaying Juventus' counterattack speed.

Barty tirelessly competed with Juventus' defenders for passing the ball from his teammates again and again. Fiorentina also fully implemented the tactical idea of ​​"counter-grabbing on the spot and passing the ball quickly", which made Juventus' midfield make mistakes repeatedly.

In this way, in the fierce battle, time passed by...

In the 78th minute, just as the game was about to come to an end.

Paul Sousa's pass was cut off by Kripa, and then immediately passed to Bilindeli. Bilindeli passed to Effenberg on a diagonal line, and Effenberg immediately knocked the ball to Djokav and once again launched an attack on Juventus' goal!

Before Deschamps was about to come and end the opponent's attack with a foul, Djokaf passed the ball out and passed it directly to Bati at the front of the penalty area. Bati pressed Coral who stepped forward to interfere with him with his body. He cleverly knocked the ball out with his right heel, and pushed the ball out diagonally. The one who received the ball was Inzagi who was driving away from Yuliano's defense!

Inzagi stopped the ball at his feet, then took a step forward and entered the penalty area. Coral quickly let go of Bati and rushed towards Inzagi. Bati took the opportunity to turn around and rushed into the penalty area, ready to shoot at any time.

Bati knew Inzaghi's habit, he was a pure shooter who could score but never pass the ball.

Bati's forward rush attracted Peruzzi's attention and his attacking pace was a little slower. When he looked at Inzagi again, he found that the ball had disappeared from the opponent's feet!

Where is the ball? Peruzzi was a little confused. He suddenly saw that his teammate Coral, who was following Inzagi, was shouting to him "Look at the top".

Above? Peruzzi looked up and found that the ball had already flown directly above him!

Peruzzi was shocked and quickly stepped back and raised his arms to try to block the ball outside the goal, but his short height (181cm is indeed very short among goalkeepers) and his bulky body made him useless...

Two to three! In the 78th minute, Bati made a wonderful pass from the heel and Inzagi scored! Fiorentina scored a goal!
