Kick!

It's not a penalty!

The Ukrainians breathed a sigh of relief, and the Fiorentina players did not come forward to entangle, the foul just now occurred on the line of the penalty area, and the referee had no problem making any decisions.

And~~~~~~

What about free kicks?

In the studio of the local TV station in Florence, the commentators began to cheer after confirming that the referee had awarded the free kick.

"Free kick! Fiorentina got a very well-placed free-kick opportunity and now Shakhtar Donetsk are in trouble! ”

Although it wasn't a penalty, it was a bit disappointing, but it didn't matter if the free-kick was not known, and who didn't know that Fiorentina had a Digan who could take a free-kick as a penalty.

Perhaps, the Ukrainians really don't know!

Deegan stepped forward, of course, hugged the football, placed it on the penalty spot signaled by the referee, took a few steps back, and waited for Shakhtar Donetsk to line up the wall.

Obviously, the Ukrainians are not unaware of the power of Degan's free kicks, and seeing Degan standing in the position of the penalty kick, he suddenly felt like a big enemy, and several of the tallest players on the field formed a human wall together.

Shakhtar Donetsk's goalkeeper Puyatov was even more nervous, loudly directing his teammates, and at the same time cursing Kucher in his heart, so as not to die in such a dangerous position to foul.

Shakhtar Donetsk's coach highlighted several issues before the game, one of which was repeatedly emphasized that you can't foul within the first 30 meters of the penalty area, but in that case, if Kuchel doesn't foul, Montolivo can burst into the box and then face the goalkeeper directly.

Digan looked at the nervous appearance of the Ukrainians, and smiled secretly in his heart: Since the opportunity has been given to me, then Lao Tzu will not be polite to laugh!

When the referee's whistle blew, Deegan took a step forward, and there was no help to run, he rotated his right leg, and his foot was the lower right part of the football, and the arch of his foot wrapped the ball and exerted his strength again.

The football instantly deformed a huge deformation, and then like a cannonball, it flew out, a huge arc, after bypassing the heads of the Donetsk Shakhtar defenders, fell rapidly, although Puyatov's attention was very concentrated, but the speed of Degan's kick was too fast, and the arc was also very large, so that he had no choice but to watch the football drill into the net.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！”

The roar rang out again in the Florentine TV studio, and several of the commentators yelled and hugged each other.

Although they all believed that Fiorentina could win the game, no one expected that the goal would come so quickly, and they were ahead just three minutes into the game.

It was Deegan who scored the goal!

After the goal, Deegan also spread his arms and ran towards the dugout on the sidelines, his first Champions League goal of the season, and the last time he scored in European competition was against Arsenal in last season's final, when he scored a hat-trick to help AC Milan reach the top of Europe.

More than a year has passed, and now Deegan is finally back!

Prandelli also waved his fist at the moment when Digan scored the ball, jumped up, and was soon hugged by his coaching staff, followed by Digan and pressed it again, Fiorentina's players on the field and substitute players also came over to join in the fun, poor Prandelli who was pressed at the bottom, it was difficult to even breathe at this time.

Finally, assistant coach Antonelli was still angry, and it took a long time to save Prandelli, and a few minutes ago, Prandelli, who was still in a suit and leather shoes, looked like a gentleman, and if he joined the beggar gang at this time, it is estimated that he can directly seal eight bags of elders.

Prandelli also wanted to hold those responsible, grabbed Degan, and shouted in his ear: "Go on!" Rod! One goal is not enough, keep going, keep going! ”

Of course, Digan knows what to do, because of the harassment by the Ukrainians the day before yesterday, the two completely unrelated teams have formed a grudge, and the Ukrainians can use small means off the field to interfere with them, so they want to fight back more violently on the field.

Shakhtar Donetsk were also trying to attack after the game resumed, with Ilsinho's low cross from the right being met by Lucarelli with a header from six yards in front of goal, which was easily parried away by Frei.

Lucarelli in the Italian league, although he is a well-known prolific striker, but in Ukraine it is inevitable to adapt to the soil, if Digan remembers, when the winter break of this season, Lucarelli chose to return to play, he left Shakhtar Donetsk only four goals in 12 games.

In fact, from the very beginning, people can see that Lucarelli's trip to play abroad is a short-term act, and Lucarelli's trip to Ukraine this time is simply alone, and his daughter and wife stay in Livorno.

In fact, Lucarelli only planned to go to Ukraine for the longest year, and his goal was to play in the Champions League once and try to make the squad for Euro 2008.

Just imagine, if you go to the Champions Cup with the team, after qualifying for the group stage, the knockout round will start in February or March, which is also an important moment for the national team to consider the European Cup candidates.

Lucarelli struggled to find a team in Italy that could take him to the Alps, so he had to look abroad, and Shakhtar Donetsk had been holding him in high esteem for two years, so Lucarelli made a difficult decision.

So how to explain Lucarelli's return to Serie A in less than half a year?

Shakhtar have been eliminated from the Champions League group stage and have not even qualified for the UEFA Cup, and if they don't return to Serie A, I'm afraid the Italians will only get a little bit of Lucarelli news from the "Overseas Players" section of the Milan Sport newspaper every Tuesday.

What's more, Donadoni, although he is a coach who is willing to recruit overseas players into the national team, but in the competition, it is really difficult to say whether Lucarelli can still be recruited into the national team just by hearing and not seeing.

Returning to Serie A, although he is now only playing for Parma and fighting for relegation, Lucarelli's fame is a small team, he has long been accustomed to resisting the attacking task of the whole team on his own, and scoring a goal will definitely occupy a place in the Italian media.

Lucarelli himself also runs a "Livorno Daily" in Livorno, he is very familiar with the operation and power of the media, and naturally knows that if he wants to be selected for the Italian national team, the first thing he needs to do is to return to the eyes of the Chinese people.

Lucarelli's header missed, Fiorentina immediately hit the counter-attack, and it was Abate's counter-attacking cross from the right, Puyatov fell to the ground to save the ball, Cavinaghi was obviously unprepared for this scoring opportunity, pushed from a small angle, touched the body of the opposing defender, and missed the far post.

In the fourteenth minute, Frei threw the ball to instigate a counterattack, Digan and Montolivo made a quick two-to-one cooperation on the midline, ran 40 meters with the ball, burst into the penalty area, pushed with his right foot, the ball was blocked by goalkeeper Puyatov with one hand, changed direction, Kavinagi followed up on the left, but was shoveled out of the bottom line by the defender.

Immediately afterwards, Montolivo took a tactical corner kick from the left side, he received a return pass and crossed with his right foot, Degan was pressed by Kuchel, still fighting for the landing point in front of the point, and went into the near corner, 2:0!

Now the Ukrainians are dumbfounded, they have been preparing for so long and looking forward to the first game of the Champions League for so long, but they were beaten 2:0 by Fiorentina in just ten minutes!

Shakhtar Donetsk's head coach Lucescu was clearly not satisfied with his players' performance, and after only ten minutes of play, he made his first substitution, replacing Kuchel, who had made two marking errors, and Hubschman came on to guard Degan.

After the substitution, Shakhtar Donetsk also took advantage of the opportunity to recover after Fiorentina took the lead and began to counterattack, but at this time, Lucescu found that the originally very smooth offensive routine was now unable to play.

The team's organizational core, Fernandinho, was actually isolated by Fiorentina.

With a tackle, Marchena made a vicious tackle, kicking the ball away and knocking Fernandinho to the ground, which was already his third foul on Fernandinho in the game.

The referee ran over and showed Marchena a yellow card and a few more warnings.

Seeing this, Prandelli was not annoyed by the yellow card, but smiled.

This is his tactic, through video analysis, he knows that Fernandinho is the offensive hub of Shakhtar Donetsk, and almost all of Shakhtar's attacks revolve around him.

Therefore, in this game, Prandelli sent Marchena, who had not been reused before, and there was a forward midfielder on the football field, placing the organizers in the midfield and backfield, protecting them and avoiding interference from the opponent, so Prandelli came to a move, put the back in front, advanced Marchena's position, and relied on his fierce defense to cut off the connection between Fernandinho and his teammates, so that Shakhtar Donetsk's attack could not work.

So far, there is no doubt that his tactics have succeeded!

As the offensive core of the field, Fernandio has very few opportunities to get the ball under Marchena's strict defense, let alone organize the attack, and even if he gets the ball, he will soon face Marchena's ferocious tackles.

Once, twice, three times later, Fernandio was a little scared, and even if he got the ball, he would pass it out immediately, and he didn't even dare to have too much physical contact with Marchena.

Fernandio is one of the toughest Brazilian players, but when he encounters a butcher-type defender, Marchena, it is a small thing.

Lucescu watched from the sidelines, and was also secretly anxious, although he can be called a famous coach in Romania, but he is obviously a little tender when he wrestles with Prandelli, a master tactician.

The middle can't open the situation, and Lucescu can only hope that the side will create a miracle, but unfortunately, the side of Shakhtar Donetsk can't even press through the half under the impact of Pasquale and Abate, let alone attack.

The situation on the field began to be completely controlled by Fiorentina, in the 26th minute, Digan dodged two tackles, a straight plug to pass the ball, Fernandinho rushed in front of Abate to clear, but did not expect to kick the ball back in front of Digan, Digan shot with his right foot from the edge of the penalty area, the result was slightly correct, was blocked by Puyatov.

In the 34th minute, Fiorentina's attack was switched to the left again, Pasquale received a pass from Motta, the left rib was plugged through, Digan stepped forward, stabbed the goal, but was ruled offside.

However, through the slow-motion replay, the referee's decision was undoubtedly a misjudgment, and when Pasquale passed the ball, there was at least a metre between Deegan and one of the opposing defenders.

The good ball was blown off, and Deegan also looked very dissatisfied!

The referee is obviously looking for a balance, if Shakhtar Donetsk falls behind in the first half, the game will not be played, and the enthusiasm of Ukrainian fans has been drummed to the extreme before the game.

Falling behind by two goals at home, the Ukrainians are also anxious, before the game they kept saying that they want to teach Fiorentina a lesson at home, and now this situation is obviously a bit unreasonable.

Coach Lucescu began to make changes, since Fernandinho was seen dead, then simply re-raise the banner of Eastern European football, hard bridge iron horse and the other side.

As it turned out, Shakhtar Donetsk, who suddenly hardened, were more than capable of making a splash on the pitch.

In the next game, Shakhtar Donetsk, who counterattacked across the board, got consecutive shooting opportunities, although Fernandinho was killed by Marchena, but Lewandowski took over the banner of attack, although in terms of organizing the attack, his level was far less than Fernandinho, but the victory was brave enough, first Lewandowski was 27 meters in front of the goal, and his right-footed volley was taken off the crossbar by Freto, who was in great shape.

In the 38th minute, Branddam seized on Ujfarusi's mistake and fired a left-footed diagonal shot from 14 meters from the goal on the left side of the penalty area, which was once again blocked by Yahin's possession of Frei.

Ilsinho then cut inside on the right, dodged Pasquale and fired a left-footed volley wide of the near post from 12 yards.

In just a few minutes, Shakhtar Donetsk won good chances to score one after another, but unfortunately Frey's state today was so good that it was against the sky, and the continuous blockades made the Ukrainians suffer repeated setbacks.

However, the wonderful attack and the gradual recovery of the decline still gave the Ukrainians hope, but unfortunately at this time, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

Fiorentina, which had been suppressed for more than ten minutes, finally ushered in a respite, and after ten minutes, Shakhtar Donetsk went completely crazy.

Digan also saw the power of Eastern European football, that is, tough, hard bridge iron horse, completely unreasonable, the core of Lucescu's team is Fernandinho, but once Fernandinho is seen to death, he immediately gave up the delicacy of Brazilian football, re-picked up the banner of Eastern European football, and played the game like it is now, the Ukrainians are also amazing!
