Starting from entering Kawazu

Chapter 227 Marcelo Gets the Red Card

When the match day came, Jia Yi also sat in the stands of Frankie Stadium and watched the match with Fiorentina President De La Valle.

Della Valle saved Fiorentina at a critical time. After becoming the new boss of Fiorentina, he quickly injected funds and brought Fiorentina back from the low-level league to Serie A, and it only took 2 years.

Now this Fiorentina team is undoubtedly his hard work.

The two chatted, and De La Valle was still full of politeness, but regarding the result of the game, De La Valle was sure that his team would win at home.

Jia Yi laughed it off.

After the players from both sides entered the field, Jia Yi found that Fiorentina was playing a single striker, with Pacini at the top.

But Mutu is actually considered a striker. The Romanian striker didn't go to the Premier League this time and space, because Chelsea didn't like him, and Abramovich's Manchester United didn't like him either. This guy is still playing very well in Fiorentina.

On the Manchester side, Ronaldo and Adriano teamed up again. Both of them played for Fiorentina. Obviously Poyet had his correct guess.

After the game started, the visiting team took the lead.

In the 11th minute, Modric made a breakthrough and was brought down by Montolivo. Mann won a free kick at the top of the penalty area.

Several Mann players stood in front of the ball. It seemed that they were going to shoot directly, but they didn't know who kicked it.

The Fiorentina team is also facing a big enemy, nervously lining up the wall.

After they lined up the human wall, the referee blew his whistle to indicate that the Manns could start.

At this time, Modric moved, but suddenly he pushed the ball with his feet, and the ball flew into the penalty area. Bell was unmarked, and adjusted two steps after catching the ball. Then he pushed and the ball hit the net, 0:1!

This tactical free kick was successful!

Prior to this, the Argentine team had played such a match in the World Cup. This time, the Fiorentina players were careless.

The Manchester players surrounded Bell to celebrate excitedly, and the teenager Bell also smiled like a Monkey King.

On the sidelines, Poyet excitedly raised his arms and shouted that the away goal came, and he obviously had a plan in mind.

Not enough Poyet still has ambitions in his heart. He wants to beat Fiorentina in the away game and reach the top 8 convincingly.

On the other side, Prandelli was a little depressed. The ball was so wide open for Bell, and his players had no one to mark it. It was an unforgivable mistake.

But it was still early, Prandelli walked to the sidelines and asked the players to press out to get the score back as soon as possible.

The game continues.

After the re-kick-off, Fiorentina relied on three players, Donadale, Mutu, and Riverani, to pass the ball non-stop in the midfield and move around, playing very smoothly.

On the Manchester side, Rakitic ran actively and spared no effort to assist the defense.

The back four also maintained sufficient concentration.

In 20 minutes, Pacini retreated to take the ball and suddenly turned around and volleyed. The ball hit Pique's leg and changed direction. Ochoa had already made a save, and it was too late to change direction at this moment, so he could only watch. The ball rolled to the other side of his body.

At the critical moment, Kompany flew forward with a sliding tackle and kicked the ball out of the baseline just as the ball was about to hit the net!

Ochoa came over, pulled Kompany up and gave him a big hug.

Kompany was also very excited. The highlight of the defender was undoubtedly this kind of clearance, which made the opponent doubt his life.

On the sidelines, Poyet was also proud of Kompany's performance and applauded vigorously.

In the 24th minute, Pazzini stopped the ball in the penalty area and turned around in one go, but Ochoa fell to the ground and saved the subsequent volley.

In fact, if he pushed the ball to the far end, Ochoa might have nothing to do. Unfortunately, the first thing in Pazzini's mind was to push the shot from the close angle.

On the sidelines, Prandelli straightened up regretfully, and sat back with his eyes closed.

After Tony left, Fiorentina's striker had no reliable output point.

Of course, if Pacini saw Mutu at the far end just now, it might be different.

In any case, the striker was right to choose to shoot, and he can't be blamed for not scoring.

In 30 minutes, Mutu made a breakthrough from the side, and Marcelo rushed a little fiercely, but was swayed by the opponent. Marcelo turned around and put a shovel directly, kicking Mutu to the ground.

The referee came over, took out a red card without hesitation, and sent Marcelo off the field.

This sudden change caught the Man people by surprise.

Marcelo had his hands on his hips, and he didn't want to leave yet. He was a rare hothead just now, and he might have become a little annoyed after being shaken away by the other party, so he stepped down.

It's just that he ignored Mutu's ability.

This was obviously waiting for him to foul, but he really fell for it.

Marcelo eventually left the field, and the Manchester United could only play 10 against 11.
Poyet got up quickly and got a few substitutes up to warm up.

At this time, the balance of the defense must be maintained, and a striker may have to be sacrificed in front.

Fiorentina then took a free kick from the wing, Pique pushed the ball out, Riverani shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

The fans of the home team at the Frakki Stadium sighed with regret.

If this goal is scored, it will be a world wave, but if it is not scored, then naturally there is only a lot of regret.

Riverani pulled up his jersey and covered his head, apparently a bit puzzled, why couldn't the ball move down half a centimeter?

Soon, taking advantage of the dead ball, Poyet replaced Adriano with Kyle Walker while moving Coentrao to the left and Kyle Walker at right-back.

Coentrao can move left or right, and there is no problem moving to the left.

However, there was one less player to play, and the opponent was at home, and the scene was quickly controlled by Florence.

Playing against a Serie A team, the opponent's physical confrontation ability is really not bad, which makes the Manchester United a bit disadvantaged. After all, they have played against low-level teams for a long time, and the confrontation is an irreparable regret.

There is no doubt that the intensity of confrontation is definitely not enough, which makes them always feel powerless when they compete with strong teams.

In the stands, Jia Yi could see clearly that the team must be promoted to the Premier League. Next season, Manchester United's confrontation ability will gradually improve, and then it will not be so embarrassing to face the strong European teams.

In the 40th minute, Mutu once again played with Coentraang on the side. The latter was cautious and did not foul. While chasing, he asked his teammates to come over to help defend.

Mutu kicked the ball suddenly, and Pazzini headed the ball in the penalty area. Riverani flew over, pulled the bow sideways, and volleyed the ball into the upper right corner of the goal, 1:1!

The Flacchi stadium exploded quickly. At this moment, the Fiorentina fans who had been holding back for most of the time finally had a chance to vent.

Prandelli also showed a smile. If he did not enter the locker room with a lagging score, he would have a better tactical arrangement.

Poyet shook his head. Today's opponent is not easy to play. It seems that the real decision of the winner may have to wait until they return to the Maine Road Stadium.

He looked at the bench, and asked a few players to warm up. These players are all defensive players. It seems that Poyet gave up attacking today. With a few more defensive players, will he be able to hold the tie? ?
