Volume 1 Chapter 106 Confrontation (II)
Football is a game full of chances, where some teams play well but lose, and some teams play messily and are able to win the most difficult game.
Although Fiorentina took the lead, it does not mean that Fiorentina played better than Catania, the two sides played offensive football, relatively speaking, Catania played better and more fluently, but Fiorentina's defenders played very well, they were not able to score, and Fiorentina took the lead in the score with a wonderful long-range shot from Chen Yu.
Fiorentina's lead didn't last long, and in the 28th minute, Catania finally formed a three-on-three chance at the edge of the penalty area through constant scheduling.
Catania's midfielder Bello held the ball, the two strikers Mascara and Oliveira suddenly crossed over and ran into position, Fiorentina's two central defenders Dericari and Viari followed closely but when Masscara and Oliveira staggered, Delicarri and Viari collided.
Bello passed the ball to Mascala for the first time, and Catania's first striker Mascala did not waste this opportunity, he had already been mentally prepared for Bello's pass, and turned around after receiving the ball, took a step forward, and then fired a volley.
Fontana, who was making up for the defence, was a step late, risking a foul and putting a tackle behind him, but he couldn't stop Mascala from finishing the shot.
Mascala had great footwork and entered the penalty area, and when unguarded, the shot gave the goalkeeper little chance, and the ball grazed the post and flew into the net, and the goalkeeper Sevia couldn't reach the whip and couldn't make a flying save.
1:1
Catania's first striker, Mascala, equalised.
It wasn't a sudden goal, the Fiorentina fans had a bad feeling before the shot, but they could only watch the ball go into the net like the rest of the Fiorentina players.
In an instant, the Frankie Stadium was silent, more than 30,000 fans were speechless, and only more than 2,000 Catania fans were laughing and laughing.
Mascala rushed to the sidelines, hugged his head coach Marino tightly, and when he passed by Chen Yu and Ricano's side, Mascala also waved his fist at the two, provocatively, as if to say: Don't look at you as the first and fourth scorers in the scorer list, I am no worse than you.
Rigano spat at Mascala's back, "The goal is just a fraction of what you do, what a sway." ”
Chen Yu, who scored 16 goals, said: "Work hard, you also score one, it looks like today's game will be very hard." ”
Rigano said: "Well, let's fight harder, not only to defeat the opponent, but also to defeat the Greek. ”
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Well, keep putting pressure on the opponent's backline, and I will pass you the ball when I have the chance." ”
"Okay." Rigano and Chen Yu clapped their hands and walked towards their own half.
Frizas, who was also walking back, saw Chen Yu and Rigano bowing their heads and whispering, and muttered coldly, even if you form a gang, Lao Tzu is not afraid, I don't believe that I can lose to two C-level players.
On the sidelines, Marino touched his chin and said to Mondonico, "Wait, the show is coming." ”
Mondonico sneered, "I'm waiting to see what you do." ”
The game started again, the two sides played more openly, and after the players on both sides lost the ball, it was like a virgin breaking their bodies, and they didn't care about one more or less time, and the full-backs began to press forward to try to break the deadlock first.
After a short silence, the Fiorentina fans in the stands immediately became active again, waving their arms to cheer for the Fiorentina players, and chanting the names of each Fiorentina player from time to time, which lifted the spirits of the new signings and players who lacked feelings for Fiorentina.
In the fast-paced transition between attack and defense, Chen Yu, who is bound to Sychov's football awareness, is even more like a fish in water, because Sychov grew up in an Eastern European football environment and plays in a fast-paced and high-confrontation league, and Chen Yu's speed and body are now getting stronger and stronger, with Sychov's awareness, he is already a step above these forwards on the field.
In the 35th minute of the game, Chen Yu retreated to the vicinity of the center circle, made a one-two-one cooperation with his companion Fontana, shook off the opponent's entanglement, and dribbled forward with the ball at high speed.
Chen Yu has always been considered the most dangerous player in Fiorentina, Catania also focused on Chen Yu before the game, although there is no special person like Napoli to mark, but Chen Yu is active in which area, the players in this area must give priority to defending Chen Yu, even if it is a foul, there is nothing, as long as it is not too close to the penalty area.
After Chen Yu passed the middle circle, Carboni, who was mainly responsible for marking him, greeted him violently, the goal was to pass the ball, the ball was passed, but it was far from the penalty area, and there was still some distance from the 30-meter dangerous area, and Carbononi thought to himself that even if it was a foul, there was not much threat, with the referee's law enforcement scale. It is not always possible to get a yellow card.
However, Chen Yu did not give Caponi the opportunity to foul, he saw the opportunity to distribute the ball to Camorani on the wing, and quickly bypassed Caponi's side.
This guy Carboni is iron-hearted and Chen Yu today, Chen Yu passed the ball out, he didn't let Chen Yu go, reached out and dragged Chen Yu, and dragged Chen Yu to staggered forward a few steps, almost fell to the ground, fortunately, Chen Yu's balance ability has improved greatly now and has not been dragged down by Carboni.
Camorani wanted to play a one-two with Chen Yu when he received the ball, but when he saw that Chen Yu was dragged and lost his center of gravity, he gave up the plan to pass the ball and walked forward with the ball himself.
Camorani originally played in the middle, but at the moment he played on the right side, after he received the ball, he habitually walked to the middle, and Chen Yu saw that Camorani brought the ball to his position, and he immediately went to the right side of Lu and changed positions with Camorani.
The middle lane is a dangerous area, Camorani came to the middle, and the opponent immediately came to chase and intercept, with Camorani's dribbling ability and speed, it was much worse than Chen Yu, and it was impossible to kill a bloody road.
"Give it to me!"
Just when Camorani was embarrassed, he heard Chen Yu raise his hand on the side and ask him for the ball.
Chen Yu and his former teammates asked for the ball when they had a good discussion, he used Chinese, in a bird song and flowers, Chinese was extraordinarily harsh, Camorani also heard clearly in the crowd, he turned his head and passed the ball to the right side.
At that time, Camorani attracted the attention of most people, and no one cared about Chen Yu cruising to the right side, when Chen Yu received the ball, Catania had only one fullback on the side, and Fiorentina not only had Chen Yu, fullback Bagis also assisted.
Two-on-one on the side, Chen Yu also has the speed and skills that the opponent can't match, Catania's left-back has no choice but to keep an eye on Chen Yu alone, and as a result, Barkis easily completes the bottom cross.
Because Barkis was unguarded and delivered a low cross, he found the highest point in the box with ease, as he did in training, Rigano.
Rigano saw his team-mates on the flanks in a two-on-one situation and was ready to shoot, and after the ball was passed, he leaped high and headed the ball into the net of Catania with a beautiful header.
2:1
Fiorentina overtook the ball.
Rigano was so excited after the goal that he rushed to the sideline and punched the fans. Then he turned around and grabbed the shoulder of Chen Yu, who was running over, and stretched out a finger to Frizas.
There was thunderous applause in the stands, and the Fiorentina fans began chanting Ricano's name.
Frizas sees himself as much stronger than both Rigano and Chen Yu, and now Chen Yu and Rigano have scored, and he has not scored, which makes him anxious and annoyed.
Of course, Catania's head coach Marino was even more anxious and annoyed than Friezas, rushing to the sidelines and yelling at his teammates to get Catania's players to step up their attacks, and if this game was lost to such a rabble, tomorrow's reporters would surely have ruined themselves.
In less than 40 minutes, the score on the field has become 2:1, and an average of a goal is scored in a little more than ten minutes, which makes the atmosphere on the field more lively, and the Fiorentina players are also extremely excited after scoring two goals in a row, taking advantage of the opponent's low morale, attacking around Catania, wanting to score another goal and seal the victory.
Fiorentina's forwards are also very active, with all three forwards running back and forth, almost equivalent to half a midfielder, which greatly relieves Fiorentina's defensive pressure.
However, Fiorentina were a bit too excited, forgetting that they were not an underdog, but a well-trained team with a striker who was also very capable of scoring goals.
In the 40th minute of the game, Fiorentina, who was under attack, was cut off at the edge of the opponent's penalty area, and Ricano's pounce was flashed by the opponent's defender Caponi, who launched a counterattack with a long pass.
Scored a goal in this game, the excellent performance of Mascala was very clever against offside success, shook off the two central defenders of Fiorentina, drove straight into the penalty area, goalkeeper Sevia was helpless to pounce on Mascala, was sentenced to death by the referee.
Mascala took the penalty himself, and Sevia couldn't turn the tide in the face of a confident Mascala and was cleverly fired into the bottom left corner of the goal. The score on the field turned into a 2:2 draw.
With five minutes left, Catania's morale was boosted, the attack became stronger, and he wanted to take the opportunity to score another goal, while Fiorentina, although the players were improvised, but the back line was very strong, and the midfielders also fought tenaciously, and finally failed to let Catania score another goal, winning time to adjust the lineup and style of play at halftime.
