football redemption

Chapter 126 The Eve of the Battle of Rome

People will be curious, especially a cold-faced guy with a delicate mind like Baggio. Among so many football superstars, he is the only one who completely lays down to accompany his family after retiring. You will understand how much he cares about feelings.

This kind of person uses the current buzzword: boring man.

Love thinks about people behind their backs.

Some things are unthinkable,

Shaqi's football ability cannot stand up to scrutiny after careful consideration. This cannot be fully justified by talent.

Unless Baggio has read the story written by Xia Qi Fuding and knows that there are time travel and cheats.

Thinking about it blindly, he thinks that Shaqi has superpowers or is an alien, and it is a real alien, not Ronaldo's impostor.

It's hard to be rational when curiosity wells up in my heart. Although this is a formal game, it shouldn't be... But it is precisely because it is a formal game that Xia Qi will not be defensive... This kind of trial is meaningful.

Baggio looks at the score 0:2, leading by two goals, wasting a chance, there should be no problem!

As soon as this thought came out, his eyes gradually became firmer, watching Xia Qi walk towards the human wall with his back turned to him.

He quickly signaled to the referee that he could serve.

"Beep!"

Baggio kicks a football and shoots Shaggy in the back!
Can you feel it this time?

Before Xia Qi reached the wall, he heard the whistle of "beep".

There was no time to complain about the plane, and Zhiling's sister said in her mind: "Bend deeply, the ball is coming from the direction of six o'clock."

Xia Qi hurriedly bent down before complaining!

The football roared through the gap where Xia Qi bent over with the wind.

1 minutes ago...

Rangers' Morse suffered a few times from Baggio and Shaggy, both of whom he considered "evil".

Seeing the two chatting furtively for a while, they said to teammate Malcolm: "The Italian is going to play tricks again, you protect me."

Malcolm nods!This is not an ordinary football game but a continuation of World War II.He will definitely sweep away all dangers for his teammates.

Every step Xia Qi took moved Morse's nerves. He was sure that Xia Qi was definitely not here to build a wall, so he blew his whistle!
he bent over,

The football came from the gap, and Morse rushed towards the gap with his hands behind his back without hesitation.

"Boom!"

It hurts to hear football hit him.

Malcolm opened his eyes wide, looked at the direction the football bounced off, shot out like a sharp arrow, and kicked the football out of the field with one kick.

The danger has been lifted!Complete the promise to teammates!A man deserves a promise!
Seeing that he saw through the "cunning" Italian conspiracy, and his teammate Malcolm successfully resolved the danger, Morse excitedly raised his arms and shouted: "Win! win!"

It's not easy, whether it's facing Xia Qi or Baggio, I always feel that IQ is not enough, and IQ tax has to be paid every time I confront, and I can finally feel proud.

Malcolm ran to him, and the two hugged each other tightly and said to each other: "Good job!"

Immediately afterwards, the teammates flocked to them, surrounded the two of them, and patted their buttocks or shoulders with their hands, treating them as heroes.

"Good job, how did you see through the Italian?"

"Well done, Morse, Malcolm."

"The Italians are only clever."

In their view, Baggio's free kick was a well-designed tactical free kick. If it hadn't been for Morse's rescue, the Italian might have really succeeded.

At this time, a cold voice came over: "Why didn't you fight back just now?"

The streamer player's laughter stuck in his throat, counterattack?The joy of seeing through the enemy's tricks suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Are you the devil?
Shaggy Gorry!

You are the seven heroes of Serie A, and we are the third-tier league. Can you solve your conspiracy, isn't it worth the joy?
Why are you telling the truth straight to the point?
Isn't it good to be Dong Lu?
Malcolm no longer has the joy of being a hero. He feels that he has been infected by the virus and has been demented. Why didn't he think of fighting back just now?

In fact, it is also normal. Rangers players have no fighting spirit and have accepted the reality of being eliminated in the Champions League group stage.

Judging from the strength of the same group, it is normal for Fiorentina and Galatasaray to qualify.

Not every team has the fighting spirit to fight until the last second.

Tortured by Shaggy's devil's mind, the Rangers players lost the mood to celebrate.

The game continued.

Fiorentina, who scored two goals, did not stop there. Baggio felt a little bit, so he took the initiative to organize the attack. Since he was the core, Fiorentina did not show mercy when the Rangers surrendered their guns.

The poor Rangers team, being a Scottish giant, faced the aggressive offensive of Fiorentina, they could only shrink back and defend with the whole team bus.

In the 65th minute, Pirlo made a direct long pass to Batistuta. Viola God of War took the ball with his back at the front of the penalty area. He smashed the ball and turned around like a tank and smashed away Kizanshvili who was defending him.

Shaking away Emerson, who rushed over to assist in the defense, he blasted a shot from a dozen meters in the middle. The football was judged to be right, and the goalkeeper Klose in the direction threw it out with both hands.

In the 72nd minute, Shaqi passed the long pass to Baggio in the backcourt, and Baggio passed the football to Nuno Gomez after breaking through the two consecutively.

The Rangers defenders raised their hands to signal that Nuno Gomez was offside, but the linesman did not raise his flag and the referee did not blow his whistle.

Nuno Gomez successfully reversed offside, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and then shot ten meters away from the goal. For some reason, he did not hold down the football and shot high.

Nuno Gomez, who wasted this one-handed goal, covered his face with his hands, looking particularly painful.

Rangers goalkeeper Kroos shouted to his teammates: "Can you concentrate, the game is not over yet!"

More than 1000 Fiorentina fans gave applause to Baggio who planned the attack. He first used himself as a bait to attract the Rangers' defense, and then sent a deadly pass.

On the contrary, Rangers fans increasingly hated Baggio, who performed particularly well.

They booed deafeningly and chanted "Long live Zoff!" whenever Baggio had the ball.

Baggio's heart was calm, and he responded to the fans' unfriendliness with his smooth organization and precise long passes, but the weak team went out and Fiorentina did not score the third goal.

Until the end of the game, the Rangers didn't organize any decent offensive. They were completely stunned by the wave after wave of Florence's offensive. The most important thing was that they lost their fighting spirit, just like the Sea Cucumbers.

beep!
Perhaps the referee also saw the suffering of the Rangers, and the whistle for the end of the game was blown in 1 minute of stoppage time.

The Rangers player lowered his head and rushed into the player tunnel.

And the Fiorentina players held hands to thank the fans who came from afar!

Fiorentina fans chanting: "Fiorentina, Nicoli! Fiorentina, Nicoli!"

After the game, Florence quickly took a chartered plane back to Florence after attending the usual press conference.

For the Fiorentina team, the Champions League has not yet started, and the group stage is just a ticket to enter the stadium and not worth celebrating.

Fiorentina is the first Italian team in the UEFA Champions League group stage. It has been sought after by the Italian media, especially the veteran Baggio has shown new heights.

"The Return of the King, Baggio Leads the Viola to Bloom in Glasgow"

"Different Viola, Different Nine and a Half"

"Bagio elevates the height of Florence and redefines the definition of number nine and a half"

Of course, some of these were instructed by Xia Qi, and arranged for the navy to lead the rhythm.

There is no way, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys!

Xia Qi knew the strength of the Holy League in Serie A, and Baggio would never be able to beat Del Piero without the behind-the-scenes pusher.

This has nothing to do with the state of competition, it is a complex social network of contacts, a game of interest chains such as clubs, advertisers, sponsors...

Juventus currently has good results, whether it is in the European war or in the league. Although Shaki knows that Juventus did not qualify in the final group, Deportivo and Panathinako qualified.

After all, Juventus has not yet played in Waterloo, Hamburg, Germany. After this round of the Champions League, Juventus is still the most promising team to qualify.

Now Fiorentina's record can't bring the rhythm. In the eyes of most people, Serie A and the Champions League are competitions between AC Milan, Lazio and Juventus.

In the eyes of the media, Fiorentina belongs to the second echelon of Serie A. The European war is at most the top eight, and they will not go too far. They are confident. This year's powerful blue eagle Lazio will surprise foreigners.

Therefore, the naval army arranged by Xia Qi did not talk about Florence's record, but focused on promoting the new concept of No. [-] and a half. Italy is the kingdom of tactics. As long as someone makes a start, someone will naturally stir up the topic of No. [-] and a half.

The tactical concept of number nine and a half has existed since Maradona's time. The polo king wearing the No. 10 jersey is actually number nine and a half.

But the previous number nine and a half did not become a theory, just like the reverse foot winger, before Robben went to Bayern, both Arsenal and Chelsea were playing this tactic, but Bayern with Robben made it a genre.

In the same way, Xiaqi now wants to make Baggio the originator of a genre. When we talk about inverse foot cutting, the first thing that comes to mind is Robben. Shaqi hopes that people will first talk about Baggio when they talk about the nine and a half.

Under the impetus of the naval army led by Xia Qi, Italy began to debate, research and enrich the concept of the nine and a half on the Internet, newspapers, and TV stations.

And Baggio is also very upbeat, leading Fiorentina to a seven-game winning streak in Serie A, continuing to heat up the heat.

During this period, a series of major events also took place in Italian football.

First of all, on October 10th, Lazio was brutally suppressed by the Holy League. After investigation, the Italian Football Association ruled that Veron was not Italian and could only compete as a non-EU player.

Don't think it's a trivial matter. For Lazio, a team with South American stars at its core, the damage is actually quite serious. The most important summer transfer window has been closed, and the Blue Eagles can only swallow the bitter fruit of failure in the political struggle.

On October 10th, Inter Milan announced the dismissal of Lippi as the head coach, blowing the wind of getting out of class for the first time in the new season, and Tardelli officially took office a week later.And Inter Milan is still a black hole.

With Fiorentina advancing all the way, the last two rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage are all over. Fiorentina won the remaining games with 15 points and won the first place in the group.

In 2000-2001, the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League were all produced.

Italy's Juventus was a big surprise. They scored zero points in the last two rounds and ruined the good situation. They were defeated by Waterloo and failed to qualify.

Three Serie A teams qualify: AC Milan, Lazio, Fiorentina

La Liga also has three teams entering the round of 16: Real Madrid and Super Deportivo, Valencia.

The famous Barcelona was suffocated to death by AC Milan and the England Youth Guard Leeds United.This is also the biggest upset in the Champions League group stage, that is, with Barcelona at the bottom, the media did not spray Juventus as a dog.

The top 16 teams in the Premier League are Manchester United, which won the Triple Crown in 99, Leeds United, which has been vigorous recently, and Arsenal, which has played offensively like mercury.

On the third day after the top 16 came out, UEFA held the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the Champions League in Nyon.

The final result is:
Valencia vs Panathena
Manchester United vs Fiorentina
AC Milan VS Deportivo

Paris Saint-Germain vs Galatasaray

Leeds United VS Lazio

Anderlecht vs Real Madrid

Bayern Munich vs Arsenal

Spartak Moscow vs Lyon
The team in front plays the first leg at home.

After the draw, the media commented that Valencia, Manchester United, Lazio, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Lyon had booked the top eight seats
Obviously, La Liga is the most profitable in this draw, and Serie A is the most disadvantaged. The two groups of AC Milan VS Super Deportivo and Bayern VS Arsenal belong to the death group.

The Italian media naively thought that their champion would easily win the Premier League Tigers. Only Xia Qi smiled strangely. In the main world this season, no Italian team could enter the quarter-finals, which opened the prelude to the decline of Serie A.

The last laugh in this Champions League is not the strongest Manchester United, but Bayern, which has been underestimated but has been moving forward.
Most shocking was runners-up Valencia, who fell to penalties in a 1-1 draw with Bayern.

The strongest team in the top 16 of this year's Champions League is of course Manchester United. In the team, there are black winds, handsome boys, Ryan Giggs, ginger heads and villain Keane...

On paper, the lineups of Real Madrid and Lazio are also very luxurious, but the journey of the two teams in the European war is hard to describe.

Before the match against Manchester United, Fiorentina ushered in an important opponent, the Red Wolf Roma, in Serie A.

This game was called the touchstone of Florence by the media.

Roma's investment this season is also very large. They were stimulated by Lazio's championship last season.

With an annual salary of US$700 million, the Wolves King Totti was left behind, and Leverkusen midfielder Emerson was bought for US$1860 million, which was a Bundesliga transfer record at the time.

Originally, there was another showy operation, which was to transfer the god of war Batistuta with an annual salary of 580 million, but this transfer was destroyed by Shaqi.

So in Xia Qi's eyes, the weekend's away game against Rome is a fateful duel!

Xia Qi has seen Batistuta's eyes differently during the team's training these days.

Every time I saw Batistuta, I thought of him crying when he broke the Fiorentina goal. When his Roma teammates broke the Fiorentina goal, he didn't go forward to celebrate.

After the game, the wolf king Totti criticized him in the locker room for lacking a red wolf heart.

Later, Batistuta used one goal after another to become a memorable friend of the Wolf King and the city.

Shaqi didn't know what would happen if Batistuta, who didn't know it, broke through the gate of Rome at the weekend?
Think about it, is it very fateful?
