"I scared me to death, I was really hanging, I almost thought this goal was really going to go in." Zhuang Mingge clutched his chest, Ricken's curling ball just now really startled him.
On the other side of the box, Beckenbauer had a regretful expression, although as the president of Bayern, there is a lot of shackles between the football emperor and Dortmund, but from the overall development of German football, he still hopes to see a team from Germany lift the Champions Cup.
After all, it's been a long time since the German club last lifted the trophy in all three major European Cups.
"That's right, the guy Lars Ricken is really good, both in terms of footwork and awareness, he has the potential to be a top player." Karin sat on Zhuang Mingge's right hand, with a look of interest on her face, and said, "Tony, don't you consider bringing him to Florence?" ”
"Not interested." Although Zhuang Mingge knew that Ricken was now a supernova in Germany, and that he was comprehensive and creative, he did not have any interest in Ricken.
For the player Lars Ricken, Zhuang Mingge still has some impressions. In his memory, the young German became one of the hottest stars in Europe early in his career with a series of impressive performances at Borussia Dortmund, and with Borussia Dortmund's Champions League triumph, his fame reached the pinnacle of his career!
At this time, Ballack, who later became the leader of German football, was still playing in the small club Chemnitz!
However, Ricken did not go as expected, but began to gradually become inconsistent amid injuries and infighting at the club. As he grew older, Rickon's performance became more and more mediocre, and there were fewer and fewer flashes of inspiration, and later the media even began to call him a "permanent rookie", which is not a compliment, but a mockery that he will always stay in the rookie stage, and it is difficult to become a big thing.
In Zhuang Mingge's view, the reason why Ricken later became obscure was that injuries were indeed one aspect, but the more important factor was his too low-key and introverted personality, which rarely showed his bloody side.
You know, even Raul and Nesta, who are regarded as good boys by the fans, sometimes roar or use their movements to inspire their teammates to fight, and Ricken can appear to be lacking in fighting spirit in this situation, or even watching from the sidelines.
This is the most unacceptable point for Zhuang Mingge, in his opinion, a Fiorentina player can be suave and low-key, but must not lack blood in the game.
Injuries can be solved by the professional physiotherapy team in Florence, but in terms of personality, Zhuang Mingge can't do anything, this thing is innate, and it is not easy to change, let alone an adult whose values and shijie views have been completely stereotyped?
Therefore, although he was very appreciative of Ricken's talent, Zhuang Mingge never moved the idea of bringing in this talented player.
As Toldo did not save Ricken's long-range shot, but instead kept the ball straight off the line, Dortmund won a corner.
Andres Müller whipped in a corner from the left, the German controlled the power and touch of the ball well, and the ball flew over the heads of Nesta and Ferrara and headed straight for Riddle, who was hiding at the back post!
Riddle jumped up on the spot and prepared to head the goal, if Riddle really shot directly at such a close distance, then Toldo, who was standing at the near end of the goal, would not have time to make an effective save!
Riddle did get on top of Muller's corner, and the ball did fly in the direction of Fiorentina's goal...... However, the ball he pushed out did not roll into the Fiorentina goal, the ball hit Carlos who was guarding the back post and bounced away, and Di Biagio, who was the first to react, rushed the ball out of the penalty area!
Davies, who was outside the penalty area, received the ball and didn't wait for the Dortmund players to come up and press for another big kick clearance, and almost played a quick counterattack, Ronaldo was a small step faster at the start, only to be blown offside by the sharp-eyed linesman, and Dortmund got the set-piece at the back.
Just as the Fiorentina fans were lamenting that the aliens' counter-attack was blown offside, the fourth official on the sidelines played a stoppage time sign - four minutes of stoppage time.
The Fiorentina fans in the stands booed, expecting the team to win the title sooner, believing that the referee's stoppage time was too long; Dortmund fans have a different opinion, arguing that stoppage time is too short, and that the celebrations of Riddle and Carlos alone took much more than that, and the referee only gave four minutes of stoppage time to look after Fiorentina......
All of a sudden, there were boos in the stands, all of them booing the fourth official. However, this situation has long been accustomed to the fourth official, who has experienced countless games. After all, no matter how little stoppage time he gives, there will always be a fan who is not happy with it......
Seeing that the referee had given four minutes of stoppage time and the team was still two goals behind, Heathfield could no longer sit still, yelling from the sidelines, letting the players press the attack - at this point in the game, he couldn't keep his composure, and if he couldn't score a goal in the remaining minutes, then then then he and himself would have completely lost the Champions Cup, the highest honour of European clubs!
So, the desperate Heathfield used up a card from Zuihou in his hand, and he replaced Summer, who was already unable to run, with Helrich, changing the formation from three-five-two to four-four-two, and strengthening the attack!
In fact, looking at the assists of Heinrich and Reuter, they are more like two wingers than full-backs. Now Dortmund is actually only left with Kohler and Clay in the backfield to defend full-time, and the rest have already pressed the door of Fiorentina in half court!
This is not a targeted tactic, but at this time, it depends on a decisive attack and a gamble of luck - not attacking is definitely death, and if you attack, there may be a way to live!
It's not about tactics, it's about courage.
Capello, for his part, did not opt for substitutions, but calmly directed his players back from the sidelines - a pragmatist who no longer wanted to play with his opponent's heartbeat and did not want to risk being scored on the counter-attack.
Under the command of Capello, even Vieri and Ronaldo, who were originally staying in the front court and preparing to counterattack, began to participate in the defense, and the eleven Fiorentina players blocked their doors in an instant!
In the end, when Andres Muller's long-range shot from outside the box flew high into the sky, referee Sandor Poole blew the whistle for the end of the game!
The winner of the 1996-97 European Champions Cup was Fiorentina!
