super sharp

Chapter 212
The intermission time was very short, and Prandelli didn't do too much tactical analysis.

Because in his opinion, the players have completed his tactical arrangement very seriously. As for the rest, it can only be said to depend on the state of the players on the field.

Therefore, he only said some words of encouragement, and then left time for the players to rest as soon as possible.

The Fiorentina players also seized the time to rest, because such a high-intensity game really made people feel tired, so the locker room was also very quiet for a while, without the usual excitement.

Mu Jianfeng was also sitting silently in his seat at this moment, closing his eyes and resting intently. This game really made him feel very tired.

Manchester United's two central defenders are the kind with excellent physical condition, rich defensive experience, and tough style.

He fought with these two for a long time in the first half. At this moment, he not only felt tired physically, but also mentally.

However, he believes that the other party must also feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, compared to Manchester United, which still needs to fight on two fronts and is under pressure on both sides, Fiorentina is currently only theoretically able to compete for the top four.

Therefore, they can actually fight for the Champions League with all their strength, because now every step forward, it is possible to create new history.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, let's see who can fight to the end!
……

The intermission time passed quickly. When the starting players began to return to the court, the substitute players who had been warming up on the court quickly retreated to the bench.

The players on both sides quickly took their respective positions, waiting for the referee's whistle, and began to compete for victory in the second half.

"beep!"

The referee looked at his watch, and after confirming that the time was up, he blew the whistle to start the game.

From the perspective of the fans, at this moment, the players on both sides were like a torrent of steel that suddenly recovered after pressing the still button. They quickly converged, shouted and entangled, and fought together!
"Coax~!"

And the atmosphere on the scene was ignited again at this moment!
But after watching the game for a while, Prandelli, who was on the sidelines, frowned and glanced at the old Scottish man sitting on the bench not far away, chewing gum.

Because he found that although the Manchester United team looked brave on the field, they actually played very cautiously. Their first consideration was defense.

Even when attacking, the defense has not lost its position. Even Evra has reduced the number of assists, and Neville is firmly guarding his own half, not going too far!
"Is it to defend an away goal advantage?"

While watching Ferguson silently, Prandelli thought silently.

To be honest, if he was the manager of Manchester United, maybe he would do the same?

After all, according to the information collected before the game, Manchester City, their rivals in the same city in the Premier League, has greatly increased in strength after receiving investment from local tyrants in the Middle East.

This summer, they introduced Toure, Adebayor and other giants from the Gunners, and snatched the Argentine beast Tevez from Manchester United, coupled with continuous investment in the introduction of strong support, and now they have officially started to launch towards the throne of the Premier League champion up the challenge.

Although Manchester United is still in the leading position in the standings thanks to Rooney's outbreak, the Premier League is notorious for its devilish intensity. Even if it is as strong as Manchester United, it is likely to be pulled down if it is not careful.

In this case, when Manchester United scored an away goal in this game, it is natural to keep some.

But in this way, the pressure was thrown on Florence.

If they attack fiercely, then they have to worry about being counterattacked by the opponent, expanding the advantage of away goals and even winning the game.

But if you don't attack, then the game will be even more difficult when you get to the opponent's home court!
After thinking about it, Prandelli still didn't dare to make tactical adjustments easily, but asked the players to continue to put pressure on the opponent on the court. He planned to decide the outcome in the last 20 minutes of the game!

……

The second half of the match between Fiorentina and Manchester United can be said to be played with thunder and rain.

Unlike the real swords and guns in the first half, the two sides seemed to be provoking each other more in the second half.

Like that joke:
"What are you looking at!"

"Look at you!"

"Look again and try!"

"Just try it!"

"What are you looking at!"

"It's up to you!"

……

Things like this seem fierce, but the opportunities created by both sides can be said to be very few.

In the second half, Mu Jianfeng and Rooney, the top strikers of the two teams, were a little quiet.

Rooney is always waiting for the opportunity to counterattack that has not yet appeared, and he was asked by the coach to reduce physical contact appropriately, so he became a little quiet.

On the other hand, Mu Jianfeng was caught in a round of fighting with Ferdinand and Vidic. Although there were wins and losses for each other, his teammates hardly created decent opportunities.

Therefore, Mu Jianfeng had zero shots and only touched the ball seven times in more than 20 minutes of the second half.

Until the No.607 minute of the half-time game, Prandelli first replaced Marchionne with Jovetic!

And 2 minutes later, Manchester United coach Ferguson also applied for a substitution adjustment. This time he replaced Park Ji-sung with Berbatov and Carrick with Valencia!

The head coaches of the two teams actually replaced defensive players with offensive players almost at the same time!
With this substitution, they seem to have sent a clear offensive signal to the audience!
For a while, the fans at the scene were extremely excited!

The players on the field also began to get excited!

Soon, Fiorentina took the lead and set off a wave of attacks against Manchester United!
And Manchester United is like facing a rock in the sea, no matter how Fiorentina attacks, they are still standing still!

After Jovetic came on the field, he revitalized Fiorentina's right-sided attack, and cooperated with Vargas on the left to create some troubles for Manchester United's backcourt.

But it's just some troubles. After all, Manchester United is far ahead of the current Fiorentina in terms of overall and individual strength.

Moreover, when the Fiorentina players are attacking, they have to be careful not to be attacked by the opponent, so that the offense dare not go all out.

But sometimes, the charm of football is that he has a lot of chances that will destroy the balance that belongs to absolute strength.

No. 707 minutes, Fiorentina once again organized an attack, this time Montorivo dribbled the ball in the middle just after leaving the middle circle, and then passed the ball to Mu Jianfeng who was responding in front of the penalty area.

As a result, as soon as Mu Jianfeng caught the ball, he was kicked to the heel by Ferdinand behind him, and he fell to the ground with a feeling of pain.

The referee fouled Ferdinand and gave Fiorentina a free kick on the left side of the penalty area.

It was teenager Jovetic who took the free kick.

Although Mu Jianfeng was checked by the team doctor at this time, he was fine, but his flaws still hurt!
So he is bouncing and moving his ankles, and it seems that he will not be able to participate in this free kick attack.

Without Mu Jianfeng's absolute commanding heights, Fiorentina would have no chance in the high ball in the penalty area.

So after Jovetic thought about it, he decided to take a direct free kick.

"beep!"

"Oh!"

Almost as soon as the head coach blew the whistle, Jovetic completed the run-up and shot!

His choice of this free kick shot was very clever. Taking advantage of the jumping time of the wall, he aimed at the gap under their jumping feet and shot it out!
But the ball hit Neville's foot very unexpectedly, and after Neville felt the ball hit his foot, he instinctively lifted it up, trying to destroy the ball!

It might be okay if you don't lift it, but if you don't want to lift it, the trajectory of the ball will change!
The ball drew a strange parabola and flew towards the goal! +
Then, under the stunned gaze of Van der Sar, the ball got into the goal against the goal beam!
Two to one!

Florence, who played at home, finally took the lead!

"Whoa whoa whoa!!!!!!"

"yeah!!!!!!"

At this moment, the fans in the audience were boiling again. They cheered unrestrainedly, and excitedly pulled the strangers around them to hug each other!
Even on the big screen, the live broadcaster caught the picture of two big men hugging and kissing each other excitedly!
After Jovetic scored the goal, he was a little unbelievable at first, but after confirming that the ball went into the net and the goal was effective, he ran wildly and celebrated!
Mu Jianfeng also didn't care about the pain in his ankle at this moment, and rushed to Jovetic to celebrate together very excitedly!
……

After maintaining the celebration for nearly 1 minute, the referee had to stop the Fiorentina players from celebrating and asked them to return to their positions as soon as possible.

This makes the game restart.

After the game started again, the players of Manchester United launched a frenzied siege on Fiorentina like a waking lion.

It seems that for them, it is a very aggrieved thing for them to be led by Florence, which is not as strong as their own, or to lead in such a weird way.

However, after taking the lead, Fiorentina also quickly made personnel adjustments. Prander replaced Zanetti with Donadyle to strengthen the defense.

Subsequently, Fiorentina's lineup was required to withdraw as a whole, and even Mu Jianfeng frequently retreated to the front of his penalty area to participate in defense!

This full retreat made Manchester United's players often feel awkward in the offense, and Jovetic, who stayed in the frontcourt, restrained Manchester United's back line from moving lightly.

The Fiorentina players continued to provoke the Manchester United players in defense, making small moves.

This made the Manchester United players even more angry, and the physical contact and additional actions between the players on both sides became more frequent.

The smell of gunpowder on the field is getting stronger and stronger!
First, when Fiorentina was defending, Donani made a multi-team defense at the front of the penalty area, causing Nani to injure his hand.

Ferguson had no choice but to send veteran Giggs to replace Nani.

Rooney then received a yellow card for a retaliatory foul on Donadale near the center circle.

Two minutes later, Vargas was violated and fell to the ground when he was competing with Neville on the wing. After the two got up, they pushed each other and almost caused a large-scale conflict between the players on both sides.

As a result, the referee had no choice but to show a yellow card to each of them, and called the captains of both sides to ask the players to restore calm as soon as possible.

But the fans on the sidelines were afraid that the world would not be chaotic. They kept encouraging their own players and challenging the opponent's players.

This led to a nearly fragmented game for the remainder of the game, with few decent chances from either side to organize.

Not only that, but at the end of the game, Manchester United received another bad news!
Rooney, their main striker, felt discomfort in his ankle after a fierce encounter with Donadale.

After simple treatment by the team doctor, he persisted for only 1 minute, but could no longer persist, and was assisted by the staff to walk out of the field.

As three substitutions have been used up, Rooney's accidental injury also forced Manchester United to play one less player in the remaining time.

Because of this, in the end Ferguson had to accept the arrangement of fate and asked all players to withdraw their defense.

After nine 10 minutes of the game, the favorites to win this season, the mighty Manchester United were upset and left the Frankie City Stadium with only one away goal!

And Florence, which was originally looked down upon by all parties, reaped a victory!
For other third-party onlookers:

For the European media, the two talented forwards who were hyped up before the game each scored wonderful goals, which kept the topic of who is the best striker today and attracted a lot of reader traffic.

For the Asian media, the two Asian players have a strong sense of presence. Mu Jianfeng scored the goal to tie the game, while Park Ji-sung killed the goal that almost "killed the suspense".

This made the Asian fans also cheered wonderfully.

It seems that all parties are winners, even Manchester United fans are clamoring to return to the home court to get Fiorentina to advance!
But after the game, there was very bad news for Manchester United-their leading striker Rooney needs to rest for at least a week because of an ankle injury, and he is likely to miss the second round of the contest between the two sides!

All of a sudden, the British media, especially the media on the Manchester United side, were full of mourning!
……

Not to mention what's going on in the UK.

Florence's morale was high after winning the game.

So three days later, on April 30rd, in the second round of No.[-] in Serie A, they went to an away game against Parma, and the fiery state of the players continued!

Taking into account physical problems as soon as possible, Prandelli made some adjustments to the starting lineup.

But they still managed to secure a win on the road with a score of [-]-[-].

Those who contributed goals were Mu Jianfeng, full-back De Silvestri and teenager Babacar.

It is worth mentioning that the current black guy has been regarded as Mu Jianfeng II by the team!
Because regardless of physical fitness or playing style, this black guy can be said to be a natural template for the second generation of Mu Jianfeng.

And recently, everyone in the team has also discovered that Babakar seems to be deliberately imitating Mu Jianfeng's playing style when playing football.

It's just that Mu Jianfeng's spirituality is missing in many details, but fortunately Babakar is still young, so he can practice slowly in the bus time!
After completing this Serie A match with Parma, the flames of the Champions League will soon be ignited again!
This time, Fiorentina players will go to England to compete with their masters at Old Trafford!
　Sorry, there was a little problem yesterday. When I checked the information, I thought that Rooney had injured his ankle after the first round of the quarterfinals. But when I watched the game video for inspiration, I found out that Rooney participated in the second round of the quarterfinals. , and the injury became serious in that game, missing the rest of the season.

　　Because this book wants to be true to reality as much as possible, the following plot was overturned, resulting in no update yesterday.

　　I will update this chapter today without tearing it down, and I will try to add another chapter later.
