Volume 1 Chapter 451 Luck (I)
Juventus goalkeeper Abbiati passed the ball to full-back Zambrotta, who re-played the ball into midfield and assisted himself to continue his attack into the Fiorentina penalty area.
The ball passed to Ibrahimovic's feet, Ibrahimovic took full advantage of his height and legs, and passed the ball to Emerson with Dainelli's close press, Emerson saw the opponent pressing towards him, and immediately pushed the ball lightly and passed it to Vieira, Vieira followed up with a powerful volley, and the ball went straight to the right side of the Fiorentina goal.
Juventus's series of combinations were very fluid, and Vieira's last shot was also very comfortable, and the action was very sufficient, and the ball flew out like a cannonball.
Fiorentina goalkeeper Frei was very focused, and he knew that this game meant a lot to Fiorentina, and if they wanted to get back to the top of the table, and if they wanted to win the title at the bottom of the table, they had to win the match against their rivals, which was three points, but it was actually equivalent to six points.
A flying leap, Frey swooped down like lightning and blocked the ball off the line with one hand.
"Good"
The stands resounded with the enthusiastic cheers of the Fiorentina fans.
The defenders also came over to thank goalkeeper Frei, a beautiful save that was a morale pack and would have been a big blow to Fiorentina if they had been scored in the opening kick-off.
corner kick
It was Juventus' third corner, and with less than two minutes to play, the Bianconeri were on the verge of attack.
Camoranesi whipped in a ground-curling corner and the ball hit the edge of the box, where Juventus midfielder Emerson cut in from the back and fired a powerful volley. It was a very difficult volley, but at this time, Emerson could not stop the ball and shoot again, and the opponent would not give him time to stop the ball, no matter how he played, Emerson had to shoot this one.
Emerson was one of the world's best defenders, and he shot well and the ball hit the instep of his foot and whistled towards the goal.
Frei was out of shape at the beginning, Emerson's wonderful shot was actually saved by him, and he didn't even give a corner kick to Juventus, which shows the strength of Frei's confidence in saving.
Fiorentina was attacked by Juventus at the beginning, and they were a little caught off guard, they didn't expect Juventus to be such a steady and conservative team to play like this in the opening game, and was almost attacked by the Bianconeri.
The protagonists of the offense are still Chen Yu and Tony, the ball is passed to Chen Yu's feet, Chen Yu immediately passes it to Tony, and he quickly runs into the air, letting Tony do a wall match for himself.
However, before the game, Capello made the most detailed defensive arrangements for Fiorentina's two goal machines, not only did someone stare at Chen Yu, who cut the air, but Emerson also started from behind and shoveled Toni down with the ball, directly cutting off Chen Yu's idea of receiving the shot.
The referee awarded a free-kick up front, but it did not satisfy the Fiorentina fans and players, who felt Emerson should be given a yellow card.
"Yellow Card"
The Purple Lily fans clamored, and Chen Yu and Tony also signaled to the referee that such a penalty was light, and if the back tackle was not released, the foul of the opponent behind would definitely be heavier.
However, the referee has his own considerations, and the start is only three minutes, and the cards are played too early, which may affect the excitement and intensity of the game, so he insists on his own penalty.
The Fiorentina just wanted to put a little pressure on the referee, Tony was not injured, so he didn't continue, and when Chen Yu stood in front of the penalty spot and was about to shoot, everyone calmed down and focused on Chen Yu.
The ball was about 245 meters away from the goal, which was very suitable for direct shooting, and Fiorentina did not line up players to grab points, only Chen Yu stood in front of the ball.
Chen Yu took three steps back and waited for the referee's whistle.
Juventus goalkeeper Abbiati stood nervously in front of the goal, his muscles were a little tense, this was the first time he singled out Chen Yu, and he was not sure how to defeat the goal maniac Abbiati.
Buffon, who was sitting on the bench, walked to the sidelines and shouted to Abbiati, telling him to pay attention to Chen Yu's sudden fall after kicking the curling ball.
force
The referee's whistle blew, and Chen Yu ran slightly, bent his bow and arrow, and shot a sharp curling ball with the inside of his foot.
The ball flew over the wall and into the far corner of the goal.
Abbiati followed Buffon's instructions and kept an eye on the ball's path as he made the save.
But the arc of the curve ball shot by Chen Yu was not big, but the speed was extremely fast and the angle was very awkward, Abbiati's body was not fully moving, his spirit was not as excited as Frey, and his arm was stretched to the limit and could not touch the ball.
Seeing the ball fly from his fingertips to the goal, Abbiati closed his eyes in despair.
boom
A loud bang shocked Abbiati, the "goalpost" Abbiati's first consciousness was to hit the goalpost, he opened his eyes, and found that the ball had hit the goalpost and flew back.
"Ahh
"Alas"
The entire Stadio Frankie was filled with sighs and lamentations from Fiorentina fans.
Prandelli got up from his seat, and when he saw the ball hit the post, he sat down again and hit the post at the beginning, giving Prandley a bad premonition.
In the box, De La Valle rushed to the window, but had to retreat back in embarrassment, seeing Moggie's gloating look, De La Valle snorted coldly and turned his eyes to the court again.
The ball fell to Jorgensen's feet, the Dane sprinted towards the baseline at high speed, and Fiore pulled to the flanks to form a triangular attacking combination with Pasquel.
Juventus' defensive formation had not yet recovered at the moment, and Pasquier had the opportunity to cross the bottom.
But Juventus' defence was very old-fashioned, and even in such a passive situation, Thuram still stuck Toney, and Cannavaro headed the ball out.
The game continued, and in the sixth minute, Fiore was stealing the ball in front of the court by Emerson, but Emerson had not had time to divide the ball, and was successfully counter-robbed by Chen Yu and quickly divided to the side.
At this moment, the Juventus players saw that Emerson had made a successful steal and was about to run forward, but Chen Yu did not expect to steal the ball again, and when they turned around and ran back, Pasquier had already passed the ball from the bottom line into the penalty area.
Toney was facing the goal, and he was one step faster than the defenders, which was a gap in size, allowing Toney to grab the landing point in Thuram.
The flight arc of the ball is very high, and Toney's position to grab the point is only seven or eight meters away from the goal, and the goalkeeper Abbiati is standing in front of him, if Tony heads the ball, it is very likely to hit Abbiati's body, or be saved by Abbiati, in a very short moment, Tony is very smart to choose the header back.
Abbiati was ready to save, but he didn't expect Toney's shot to be as tricky as Chen Yu, the ball flew to the back corner, at such a close distance, he waved his arms at most, it was impossible to fly to save, Abbiati could only watch the ball fly towards the goal, and could not do anything.
boom
The ball hit the post again and bounced out.
"Ahh
The Fiorentina fans in the stands shouted in surprise almost in unison.
Two posters in six minutes, Fiorentina's luck today was just too bad.
This time Prandelli was deceived into standing up again, seeing the ball hit the post, Prandelli sighed, facing a strong opponent like Juventus, such bad luck, Prandelli did not dare to imagine what the consequences would be.
Capello's face standing on the sidelines is not better than Prandelli's, and he was given two good chances like this by his opponent in six minutes, which made Capello feel very bad, he doesn't like to let luck decide fate, he likes to control everything, and the performance in the first six minutes can only prove one thing, that is, his lineup is not as good as Prandelli, he is out of control.
"Keep an eye on Tony and Chan and don't be blind and focused"
Capello yelled at the backline, the strongman is really angry, and everyone has to be angry, because if the opponent is a little more lucky, it will be 0 now.
Juventus are not underdogs, they are the strongest team in Serie A, and after escaping two catastrophes, they did not panic and remained calm to find and seize opportunities.
Two minutes later, Juventus took advantage of Fiorentina's impetuousness to strike back
Emerson held the ball forward in the middle line and just after half-time the Brazilian pushed the ball straight behind the Fiorentina defender with his right foot.
High striker Ibrahimovic avoided the middle and successfully avoided offside, inserted the ball on the right side and burst into the penalty area, facing goalkeeper Frei who blocked the near corner.
"Shoot"
At this time, all the Zebra fans were chanting for a shot.
As a striker, there was absolutely no dispute about shooting at this point, but Ibrahimovic did not choose to shoot but pushed behind the two centre-backs on the other side, and on the other side, Trezeguet had been waiting for a long time, and he pushed the ball into the empty net with his right foot from five yards in front of goal.
Juventus take the lead
Trezeguet ran over and excitedly hugged Ibrahimovic, who had passed the ball unselfishly.
The Juventus crowd was jubilant, and after the opponent's two thrilling shots, Juventus was already a little tired, and a goal at this time had the effect of stabilizing the morale of the army and boosting morale.
The iron-blooded boss Capello couldn't help but wave his fists in celebration, shouting at Ibrahimovic who passed the ball, "It's a beautiful pass."
The on-site commentator couldn't help but exclaim: "I didn't expect Ibrahim to pass the ball, this season's Ibrahimovic is really enlightened, last season he has been criticized by his teammates and Capello for being too alone, and now he is so selfless passing, if he shoots, there is a chance that he will be saved by Frei, who is in full form......"
Prandelli couldn't help but shake his head, he just had a premonition of the current situation, hitting the post is retribution, especially in the face of giants like Juventus, now retribution is coming, but in two minutes, the opponent scored, and now for Fiorentina, the difficulty of victory is more than doubled, it is really difficult to reverse Capello, Prandelli has a headache when he thinks about it.
