Fiorentina's smash made the Da Gama players dizzy, and they came to Japan full of confidence that they didn't expect that the game had just begun, and their side of the goal was lost!

In fact, not only did they not expect it, but River Plate and Cruzeiro, who lost to Fiorentina in the Toyota Cup final two years ago, also did not think before the start of the game, so they all paid a terrible price for it, that is, the Toyota Cup championship trophy that I don't know how many years I have the opportunity to meet.

Affected by Fiorentina's opening kick, many of da Gama's players looked a little dazed and absent-minded on the field, and they continued to make various mistakes in the game, giving Fiorentina players plenty of counter-attacking opportunities, and Ronaldo and Vieri made Da Gama fans in the stands tremble with every shot.

Da Gama's two core players are no exception, Juninho Jr. no longer dares to calmly organize the attack in the front court as he did when he played in Brazil, because Fiorentina's defensive system is too tight, and he simply does not have enough time to observe the holes in the opponent's defense; And Gattuso haunted him like a haunting ghost, and the ferocious tackles and physical confrontations made little Juninho feel a little frightened, for fear that he would be directly kicked into the hospital by this fierce guy.

Under the effect of this resistance mentality, Juninho Jr. takes the ball less and less, and even if he gets the ball, he often passes the ball directly to his teammates without stopping the ball, and plays a smaller and smaller role on the field, and finally almost becomes an invisible person, and there is no sign of his participation on the offensive end.

Compared to the almost invisible Juninho Jr., the grumpy Edmundo has a much higher sense of storage on the field than the former, but the way he brushes up on the field is not very correct. Aside from the fact that he was repeatedly blocked from breaking through with the ball in attack, all that remained was a ferocious deliberate elbow from Claude Makelele in the 27th minute of the first half, and the foul of a nasty nature paid the price for a yellow card for the irascible Brazilian beast.

Facing such a battleless Vasco da Gama, Fiorentina created plenty of chances on goal in the first half.

In the sixth minute, Carlos, who had stepped forward to assist, broke through along the left flank, and was accidentally tackled to the ground by Vitol, who was returning to the defense, and the referee showed the first yellow card of the game, and then Redondo's free kick went just over the crossbar.

In the ninth minute, Effenberg crossed over the top, and Ronaldo, who was in front, directly chose to volley under the interference of Galvao, but was blocked by da Gama's goalkeeper with his body.

In the 17th minute, Zambrotta switched to the right and crossed from a 45-degree angle, Vieri headed in front of goal, but his shot hit the left post and flew off the bottom line.

In the 25th minute, Ronaldo fell to the ground in a scramble with Vabel, Fiorentina won a free kick in front, Redondo gently pushed the ball out, Effenberg directly hit the goal 28 meters away, but the goalkeeper of da Gama blocked the ball again!

Suffice it not for da Gama's goalkeeper's courage tonight and the help of the goalposts, Fiorentina might have only needed a first-half time to completely finish off this opponent.

In the 39th minute of the game, Fiorentina finally played a wave of quick counterattacks with a steal from Gattuso in the midfield, and Ronaldo scored again, and finally ended the first half with a score of 2-0.

After entering the halftime break, there was a rather interesting episode on the field: Pele, the most representative figure of Brazilian football, who was revered as the king of the ball when he was a player and was known as a super crow after retiring, suddenly appeared in the stands of the Tokyo National Stadium at this time!

"How did Bailey's crow's beak end up here?" Seeing the football king who was waving enthusiastically to the surrounding audience in the live broadcast screen, Zhuang Mingge asked a little puzzled, "I remember that Pele should never have attended such an occasion, how did the organizers of the Toyota Cup do it this time?" ”

"Tony, have you forgotten?" Hearing Zhuang Mingge's question, Karin felt very strange, and after finding that Zhuang Mingge's expression was not abnormal, she realized that the other party had not noticed some obvious things at all, so she had to reluctantly remind, "The reason why Pele never appeared in this kind of tournament in the past is because the relationship between the former FIFA president Mr. Havelange and Pele is very poor. Therefore, in order to avoid attracting the hostility of FIFA, many tournament organizers do not dare. Now that the presidency of FIFA has been taken over by Mr. Beckenbauer, the issue naturally ceases to exist. ”

"I see." Zhuang Mingge looked at Pele who was full of spring breeze on the screen, and said, "However, what I hope most is that this product must not say that he is optimistic about our Fiorentina winning the championship, this great god's crow's beak is already world-famous." ”

"I feel the same way." Karin agrees with Zhuang Mingge's opinion, after all, there are countless teams that have been unlucky under the crow's mouth of Pele, Colombia four years ago and Spain this year.

As soon as Zhuang Mingge's words fell, Pele on the TV screen gave an answer under the questions of the reporters around him: "As a Brazilian, of course I have to support the da Gama team from my home country more in this game!" ”

Although he did not play for da Gama as a player, that did not prevent Pelé from holding him high in the minds of all Brazilian fans. Therefore, when the scene of Pele waving around in the stands at the beginning appeared in the eyes of the Da Gama fans on the large screen of the Guò Stadium, it immediately triggered the cheers of thousands of da Gama fans at the scene!

However, the Japanese fans present obviously did not buy the football king who has been retired for nearly 20 years, after all, Pele's peak has passed too long now, and it is naturally impossible for Japanese fans to have too much enthusiasm for such an antique football king.

Therefore, when Bailey confidently said that he was optimistic about da Gama winning the championship, the Tokyo National Stadium, which had a slightly lively atmosphere because of Pele's appearance, suddenly fell silent. Everyone who heard Pele's speech was full of black lines, thinking that you don't look at the situation and the score on the court, how can this muddy team that can't support the wall be Fiorentina's opponent?

Zhuang Mingge and Karin breathed a sigh of relief in the box, and then looked at each other and smiled, with a look of happiness in their eyes. After all, although Fiorentina is now in the leading position on the field, God knows if Pele's crow's mouth will have any magical power, and if it unfortunately works, then Zhuang Mingge will have no place to cry.

In this way, under the effect of Pele's cold aura, everyone began to turn their attention back to the second half of the game, especially the fans of Vasco da Gama, who still don't know how to curse Pele in their hearts.
