Chapter 145 Champions League Qualification
Although the off-court news was very exciting, Mu Jianfeng didn't intend to be distracted, but put all his energy into the second round of the contest concerning the team's Champions League seat.

The game kicked off at 19:45 local time in Florence, arguably one of the most golden moments in Europe.

At the same time, it was also Mu Jianfeng's first official game wearing the No. [-] jersey.

Although Fiorentina won the first round with three away goals, Sporting Lisbon, as a veteran team in the Portuguese Super League, still cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, the Frankie City Stadium was full of Fiorentina fans cheering for the home team.

After the opening, Fiorentina seemed to be affected by three games in 9 days, and the players were unable to enter the game state for a long time.

On the contrary, Sporting Lisbon, after a full week of rest, played very aggressively despite being away.

As a result, in the first half, they took advantage of a free kick in front of the penalty area and their midfielder Moutinho scored the first goal.

This goal once again exposed Fiorentina goalkeeper Frey's deficiencies in defensive positioning.

This was originally a free kick with a not very tricky angle, but Frey made a mistake in the choice of position, which caused him to be unable to make an effective save when he moved his feet and resulted in a loss of the ball.

In the ensuing game, although Fiorentina created several good chances to score goals like waking up from a dream, there was still no way to rewrite the score.

In the end, under the disappointment of the home fans, Fiorentina ended the first half with a score of zero to one.

During the half-time break, Prandelli did not get angry, which is rare, but comforted everyone and warned everyone not to play too hastily.

This balances the players' anxious and swaying mentality.

Afterwards, Prandelli once again made some adjustments to the tactics in the second half, and left the locker room to let the players rest on their own.

……

When the intermission ended, the Fiorentina players began to return to the court one by one.

Jovetic, who was walking at the back, sneaked up a few steps, walked up to Mu Jianfeng and asked in a low voice:
"Are you nervous?"

Hearing this, Mu Jianfeng turned around and looked at Jovetic with a chuckle:

"Nervous? Nervous about what?"

"If the opponent scores another goal, maybe we will be eliminated?"

Jovetic frowned.

"Are you stupid?"

Mu Jianfeng knocked on Jovetic's forehead, and then continued:
"The tiger dozed off because he was afraid of a wolf?
You put too much focus on defense in the first half, let's give them some color in the second half!

If the other party really gets another entry, then we will also enter another one, and we will be the ones who appear in the end?
Isn't it? "

Mu Jianfeng smiled slightly, leaving Jovetic with a dazed face to step onto the lawn first!
"Mu...Mu!"

The moment Mu Jianfeng stepped onto the lawn, the loyal fans in the north and south stands of the Frankie Stadium erupted in cheers.

It seems that he is calling his own hero, and it seems that he wants to wake up the team's forward who is dozing off!

Mu Jianfeng's heart trembled when he heard the cheers of the fans. If he didn't experience the feeling of being called by countless people, it would be hard to imagine that feeling.

At this time, he bowed slightly and bowed to the fans around him.

This action was discovered by the on-site director and shown to the audience through the big screen on site.

It seemed that Mu Jianfeng was apologizing for the slump in the first half of the game, more like a promise of attitude.

This scene made the fans at the scene burst into cheers.

The sudden cheers startled Prandelli who had just sat on the bench. He looked up at Mu Jianfeng on the big screen, and then turned his head to look at the young boy who had already walked towards the center of the field.

A smile appeared on the corner of Prandelli's mouth:
"Prove it to me, whether you are worth my bet!"

……

"beep!"

With the whistle of the referee, the second half of the game officially began.

Although there was no change in the opponents they faced, the Sporting Lisbon players quickly felt the difference.

At the beginning of the second half, Fiorentina's No. [-] striker, the guy with black hair and yellow skin, frequently asked his teammates for the ball.

At the same time, he has become more aggressive in his style of play.

Although in the first half of the game, the players of Sporting Lisbon had already made great defensive actions against this guy because of the conflict in the first round.

They thought that the opponent "disappeared" because they were afraid of their defensive scale. This made Sporting Lisbon's main defender combination Carico and Polgar really comfortable for a while.

But after the start of the second half, they discovered that this guy had suddenly come back to life.

They did not scare each other away for several consecutive relatively large-scale fouls. On the contrary, Carrico also received a yellow card because of too much action.

This made the Sporting Lisbon defenders feel very uncomfortable in the next defense.

Because their main central defender combination is only 1.8 meters zero and 1.8 meters three in height, this may be completely sufficient in other positions.

But in the guard position, especially in the confrontation with Mu Jianfeng, a forward with abnormal physical fitness, they are completely at a disadvantage and can only use some small moves and predictions as defensive supplements.

But when the young Chinese finally opened his sleepy eyes, their nightmare came.

Just 5 minutes into the second half, Jovetic took the ball from the wing and inserted it into the penalty area at high speed. After passing the opponent's right back Pedro Silva, he sent a quick low pass to the penalty area. To the restricted area.

At this time, there was chaos in the penalty area, and the two forwards, Mu Jianfeng and Gilardino, wreaked havoc in the defense area of ​​Sporting Lisbon.

Although their defensive midfielders Veloso and Pererinha have retreated to assist in the defense, it still doesn't have much impact on the final result!

The ball almost touched the ground and quickly flew into the small penalty area.

At this time, Polgar was almost half-hanging on Mu Jianfeng's body, and he still couldn't grab the position in front of him.

At this time, Mu Jianfeng was carrying Polgar on his back, and at the same time supported Veloso with his left arm. The moment the ball reached him, he turned around and knocked with the outside of his right foot!
The ball bounced towards the goal and rolled into the net between the legs of Sporting goalkeeper Patricio!
One to one!

Fiorentina, who played at home, evened the score again, leading the total score [-]-[-]!

This means that if Sporting Lisbon wants to win the right to qualify, they need to score two more goals in the remaining time, and Fiorentina will not score a goal!
Under such a difficulty, the players of Sporting Lisbon felt as if they lost their strength in an instant!
Several players even lay down on the lawn immediately!

The Fiorentina fans were extremely excited, and a cheer lasted almost a full 30 seconds.

Then, facing Mu Jianfeng who was proudly posing with his arms crossed on his chest in front of them, they uttered a battle cry again!

"Boom! Crack! Mu!"

They learned the lessons of last season. In this cheer, they first clapped their hands neatly on their thighs and made a "bang" sound, then clapped their hands in front of their chests and made a neat "snap" sound, and finally roared out in unison. Mu Jianfeng's name!
The cheers were like sea waves, instantly igniting Mu Jianfeng's originally not-so-excited mood!

Immediately afterwards, the emotions of all the Fiorentina players on the field were also ignited by the cheers!

With high morale, Florence launched more and more fierce attacks!
When the game started again, less than 5 minutes from the last goal, Fiorentina scored another goal with a fierce impact!
This time it was Mu Jianfeng who got stuck in the penalty area and caught the ball with his back, then knocked the ball to Jovetic on the edge of the penalty area.

After the latter made a long-range feint against Sporting Lisbon's defenders, he quickly dodged into the penalty area!
Immediately afterwards, he made a fake shot with his right foot, knocked the ball to his left foot, and kicked the ball hard towards the goal before the defensive player could react!
Two to one!

Jovetic was very excited after scoring a goal. He cheered and ran to the sidelines, screaming and celebrating the goal!

And this goal basically ended the suspense of this game. Faced with the impossible task of scoring at least three goals in the remaining games, Sporting Lisbon completely gave up resistance.

Seeing this, Prandelli considered that Mu Jianfeng was originally injured, and was afraid that when the overall situation was settled, the players of Sporting Lisbon would retaliate against him, resulting in repeated injuries.

So he chose to replace Mu Jianfeng and C Zanetti successively, and they were replaced by veteran Jorgensen and defensive midfielder Donadyer.

Gilardino was pushed to the forefront, Fiorentina's tactics were readjusted to the traditional four-three-three, Jovetic served as another winger.

In the following games, when the overall situation was determined, neither side continued to attack, but only symbolically attacked and defended each other.

The score of two to one also lasted to the end.

In the end, Fiorentina successfully won the final spot in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 0910-[-] season!
