Chapter 159 Don't underestimate the heart of the strong
Looking at Chigrove standing in front of him, Digan couldn't help sneering. He had seen the policeman ask Prandley for help just now, and he knew that Prandley must have rejected Chigrove's request.
"You mean, let me appease those angry fans, Mr. Police Officer, I want to know, what reason should I use to appease them, they came all the way to Russia, full of expectations to witness the beloved team The moment they hold the cup, but what do they get now, their eyes were raped shamelessly, what do I say, do you want me to say to the fans 'Hey guys! It's no big deal, we just Country bumpkin, we don't have a backstage at UEFA, it's no big deal if we lose', what do you think of that?"
Chigrove was embarrassed when he heard the words. If Degan really said that, I am afraid that those angry Fiorentina fans will immediately tear down the stadium. For a bigger riot, this responsibility is not something he can bear.
Just as embarrassing as Police Officer Chigrove was the referee from Slovakia. Although the stadium was very noisy, he could hear every word Degan said clearly, and he almost desperately invited Degan to come A red card, but he knew very well what kind of tragedy would happen if he did that.
"We don't want to see a tragedy happen. Now only you can quiet those fans, otherwise, I will suspend this game, and you will completely lose the chance to compete for the championship!"
Degan looked at the righteous referee and sneered, "Please, sir! I believe that as long as you are on the court, we will never win that championship. Since we all lost, why should we continue to endure half a game?" Hourly insults? But I'm also sure the angry fans will tear you to shreds if you do that."
The referee's face froze. He knew that Degan was not joking. Just now he also asked whether to suspend the game, but the result was bloody. Now that the game is suspended, this place will become the second Heather .
Leaving aside the two people with stiff faces, Degan turned and walked to the sidelines. Although he could not give them a good face, Degan couldn't help but care about those Fiorentina fans? Fans, their anger is understandable, but they shouldn't face a The title of football hooligans.
Seeing Degan walking towards the sidelines, the commotion in the stands subsided a little bit, but there were still many angry Fiorentina fans entangled with the police in the stands, trying to enter the field and seek revenge on that bastard referee .
At this time, a staff member of the stadium handed a loudspeaker to Degan. Degan pondered for a while, and said loudly: "Be quiet, you bastards!"
When Platini on the rostrum heard Degan's voice, he was so frightened that he almost turned around and ran away, for fear that the ensuing riots would affect him, a proud and precious baby.
But what is surprising is that the Fiorentina fans were really quiet, but they soon rang out with the shouts of some fans.
"Rod! We have been treated unfairly! They are setting us up!"
"We just want fairness, but if they don't give it to us, we have to fight for it with our fists!"
"Rod! Lead us to do it! I beat those damn bastards!"
Degan raised his head, his expression looked almost arrogant, and people's nerves began to become a little tense. Isn't Degan's appearance continuing to irritate the fans?
"I said, shut up all of you, your king is talking to you, you bastards should just listen quietly!"
Degan's voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly from every corner of the pitch.
"Is that kid crazy? Who does he think he is? An ancient Roman emperor?"
"Perhaps he really thought he could convince those Italians!"
"I really hope he can piss off those lip-smacking Italians, so that I can beat them upright."
The fans of Manchester United looked like they were watching a good show. They hoped that the fans of Fiorentina would become chaotic. If that was the case, there would be no way for this game to continue. At that time, UEFA could only judge Manchester United to win, which would be easy. few.
In the chaotic scene at the stadium just now, not only the Fiorentina fans, but also the Manchester United fans were making trouble. Their wanton abuse aroused the anger of the Fiorentina fans.
But what surprised them was that under the call of the self-proclaimed king Degan, the Fiorentina fans really quieted down. What is the situation?
Seeing this, Degan continued: "Very good! Very good! That's it, guys! Our game is not over yet, the score is now 1:1, although the penalty is very shit, but I plan to accept him, we have already Suffered a lot of losses, but, I don't want to just throw in the towel, the game will continue, we now have one less man, no! We have no less man, we still have you! Guys! Now I need your help, I I think you all know what to do!"
"Rod! We listen to you!"
"Yes! Fuck those Brits! Let them know how powerful Florence is!"
A riot that almost broke out was calmed down by Degan's alternative appeasement. The Fiorentina fans began to return to their seats. Ferguson was stunned by this scene. Among them, there is such an appeal.
Ferguson was shocked, but he became jealous when he came to Jin Maoluo. He thought that he was the one standing in front of the fans and giving orders, but in Manchester United, it was impossible for him to get such a status.
Everyone knows that Manchester United belongs to Ferguson, but it seems that Ferguson, the godfather of the Red Devils, may not have such a big influence.
Kaka, who was far away in Brazil, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He was really worried just now that Degan's words would completely anger those fans and cause an irreparable tragedy.
Now it seems that Degan obviously knows Fiorentina fans better than him. Of course, Kaka is also very surprised by Degan's influence among Fiorentina fans.
It was quiet inside the stadium, but the chaos outside the stadium has intensified and is almost uncontrollable. This misjudgment, coupled with the help of some English football hooligans, quickly broke out large-scale physical conflicts between British and Italian fans Fortunately, the Russian police had a strong security force, coupled with early preparations, the riot was quickly suppressed. Although no one paid the price with their lives, the riot still caused hundreds of people to be injured and more than 400 people were arrested. More than three hundred people are from England.
To be sure, this game will definitely become a major stain on Platini's tenure as UEFA president.
Under Degan's comfort, the game was able to restart, and the referee, who was in a cold sweat, could only be cautious. If there was another problem, no one would be able to save him.
England is rich in football hooligans, which is indeed a headache, but don't forget that Italy is rich in mafia!
The players of the two teams walked to the sidelines. Before the extra time, they still had a period of rest. Prandelli also seized the time to deploy the overtime tactics at this time. Now that Florence has one less player on the field, the next For half an hour, the first thing they have to do is defend.
"Boys! The situation is very bad for us, we have one less man now, so the next thing we have to do is defend, forget about the goal just now, it's already like this, no matter how angry we are, it won't help, understand? Focus on We have worked hard for a year, and we will never allow it to fall short at the last moment!"
Prandelli seized the time to tell his players, and then Degan made the pre-war mobilization for the final battle.
"I feel like we're a thorn in the side of some people right now, pissed off? I'm pissed too, but at the same time I'm happy because we've got the right to be a thorn in the side of the big guys, isn't it cool? They all They don't want us to win, because they don't want a new force to emerge in European football. This is absolutely unacceptable to them, because if we join in, it will only damage their interests, but we just want to make them unhappy Let's drive our nail hard into their eyes!"
Overtime began. Although the Manchester United team was also very tired, they launched a frenzied attack from the very beginning. Obviously, Ferguson was planning to take advantage of Fiorentina's one less player to settle the battle in overtime and avoid a penalty shootout.
Of course, Fiorentina couldn't let them get what they wanted. Defense became the main theme of Fiorentina in overtime, especially the two central defenders Kompany and Ranocchia. The defense of the two was very tough.
Manchester United transferred the ball into the penalty area several times, but they were the first to clear the siege.
Ferguson is a bit regretful now, he regrets that he should not replace Tevez, but there is no way now, he has no extra forwards in his hands, Saha is injured, Tevez was replaced, as for China's Dong Fangzhuo , Ferguson has already made up his mind to let that Chinese Dong who doesn't want to make progress get out by the end of this season.
Ferguson had no other choice but to put Smith on the front line. No one can question Smith's enthusiasm for the game, but he is really not a prolific shooter. Even when he was the most popular, the number of goals in a single season did not exceed ten. Five times, and most of the time, his goals came from penalties and counter-attacks in front of the opponent's box.
However, Smith's impact is very strong, and he spares no effort to put him behind Rooney, which can still have a good effect.
"Rush up! Rush up! Defeat them!"
Ferguson yelled, he doesn't want to take a penalty kick. In a penalty shootout, although Manchester United has an advantage in experience, that advantage is nothing at all, because there are too many accidental factors in a penalty shootout. Having one more player on the court than Fiorentina is a real advantage.
What Ferguson wants is to resolve the battle in overtime. He absolutely does not want to hand over the fate of the team to an unknown penalty kick.
What Manchester United has to do now is to attack, attack, and keep attacking!
With one less player on the field in Fiorentina, there will definitely be loopholes in defense. As long as they seize one opportunity, Manchester United will win.
Prandelli also seemed a little nervous. He stood on the sidelines and watched the development of the game. He wanted to find someone to discuss with him, but his old partner Antonelli had already been expelled from the field by that bastard referee just now. up.
In Florence's dressing room, Cavinaghi and Antonelli stared at the TV screen, and they were equally nervous.
Especially Cavinaghi, if he lost the game, he would be the team's sinner. If it wasn't for his impulsiveness that caused him to be sent off, Florence would not be so embarrassed.
Antonelli saw Cavinaghi's guilt, and comforted him: "Fernando! That's not your fault. If it was me, I would definitely smash the face of that bastard referee!"
Antonelli was a hot-tempered tough guy in his player days. Almost every season, his number of red cards can exceed the sum of the number of red cards of the rest of the team.
After becoming a coach, Antonelli's temper calmed down a bit, but today the bastard referee managed to arouse all his anger.
On the court, the game continued, and the atmosphere became more and more tense. Fiorentina players kept using fouls to stop Manchester United's offense, and the referee kept showing yellow cards.
If you haven't watched the previous game, it's hard to imagine that Fiorentina players can still play so hotly in overtime.
Ferguson kept protesting to the fourth official of the game. In his opinion, almost the whole team could be sent off for the foul actions of Fiorentina players.
But at this time, the referee didn't dare. He didn't know what kind of chain reaction would be caused if Fiorentina was sent off again.
Fiorentina also grasped this point and played more and more brutally.
"Fiorentina fully returned to defense, and even Degan returned to the midfield to assist in the defense. The bad misjudgment just now had a great psychological impact on them. I have to say that in today's game, the referee's control of the game It just sucks!"
The Fiorentina players are also feeling tired now, but they are all gritting their teeth and persevering. Their unyielding energy makes them persevere, persevere, persevere!
At this time, you must not fall down first!
Manchester United's offensive is very fierce, but it is not easy to penetrate Fiorentina's defense. Kompany is the pinnacle of Fiorentina's defense, and the young Ranocchia has also shown a mature side. The two of them The iron gate formed has made Manchester United's many big-name stars helpless.
"Should we close it! If this continues, our players will consume a lot of energy!" Queiroz suggested.
Ferguson shook his head and rejected Queiroz's suggestion without hesitation: "No! We can't slow down the pace of attack at this time. Fiorentina is tearing apart right now. As long as we can score a goal, they will collapse immediately!"
Ferguson looked very confident, but his red eyes made him look like a crazy gambler.
Can Manchester United really overwhelm Fiorentina's defense?
At least it seems that it is difficult now! It's really tough!
When the first half of extra time ended, the score was still 1:1. Although Manchester United got a lot of opportunities, they only blossomed and failed to bear fruit. Ferguson could only express his anger and helplessness for such a result.
There is no intermission in overtime. After the two sides changed the venue, the game continued. Ferguson also made the third substitution of the game at this time, replacing Scholes with Hargreaves. .
After Scholes got older, his physical fitness has always been his shortcoming. This game has been so fierce, and Jiangtou's physical fitness has long been exhausted.
The reason for replacing Hargreaves is also very simple. Ferguson probably felt that the team had attacked too aggressively just now. Greaves means to slow down the offensive tempo.
Seeing this substitution, the Manchester United players on the field also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, in the fifteen minutes just now, they felt almost as if they were overdrawing their lives. The high-intensity and fast attack was also a severe challenge to their physical fitness. Test, right now my lungs still seem to be burning, but fortunately I can finally catch my breath.
Manchester United slowed down their offensive rhythm, and the pressure on Fiorentina suddenly eased, which also gave them a chance to breathe. Although they withstood Manchester United's frenzied attack just now, they were also on the verge of collapse.
In fact, Manchester United's situation is similar. Although their offensive was fierce in the first half of overtime, they were already at the end of their strength.
The physical consumption of the two sides makes it difficult for Fiorentina to have one less player than Manchester United. Although Fiorentina has to pay more to make up for Cavinaghi's gap, it doesn't matter. Fiorentina's players are young and their physical fitness is always Still better.
"At this point in the game, the two sides are completely competing for will and endurance. At this time, it is difficult for the players on the field to show their exquisite tactics. Now whoever makes a mistake allows the opponent to score a goal. If there is no ball, the game will be over, which is a difficult test for both sides, they not only have to endure physical fatigue, but also have a high concentration of attention!"
The current situation on the pitch is still dominated by Manchester United. The hearts of the Fiorentina fans in the stands and in front of the TV are hanging in their throats. They dare not blink their eyes for fear of missing a shot. The team will lose.
Now they can only pray that the time will pass faster and faster. They really can't bear this kind of torture. Although the penalty shootout is more thrilling, they would rather choose to use that method to decide the life and death of the team.
Time was passing by every minute and every second, and Florence at this moment was like a stubborn bull. Even though his body was covered with bruises, he still refused to fall or give in.
Digan thanked his lungs as if they were about to burn. This was the first time he had tasted this feeling of extreme exhaustion. Everyone knew that he was an individual energy maniac. He usually participated in consecutive competitions without even needing to rotate. This game was different. The double torture, both physical and mental, made his physical fitness bottom out.
Fortunately, at this time, the extra time has reached the final moment. If the winner still cannot be determined, the two sides can only decide the ownership of the championship trophy through a penalty shootout.
Suddenly, Montolivo, who had been very stable before, made a mistake. His pass was obviously not well grasped. When Arteta on the wing wanted to catch the ball, he was a little slower. The football went directly from his The leg slipped by, and he was about to go out of the sideline. Suddenly Jin Maoluo came over, blocked the ball, and then rushed towards Florence's half at a fast speed.
At this time, there was no Digan defending Jinmaluo. Although Antonini tried his best, he could only get stuck in the main position to prevent Jinmaluo from cutting inside. There was no way to slow down the runaway wild horse.
spike!
Jin Maoluo suddenly dunked the ball, and Antonini was caught off guard and almost fell, but Jin Maoluo also lost his balance and could only pass the ball into Florence's penalty area with one kick.
Rooney followed up in time. Although Kompany got stuck in front of Rooney, he couldn't stop the England chubby from shooting. Frey was very focused and stretched his legs to block Rooney's shot.
But Manchester United's offense is not over yet. Golden Mello, who has already thrown off Antonini, volleys towards the ball. At this time, the blood of people who like Fiorentina all over the world will be cold. Frey is still sitting on the ground. People can stop Jin Maoluo's shot.
But just when everyone thought the goal would be scored, and Ferguson even raised his arms high, ready to cheer for victory, Frey, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly bounced up and swung his raised arms upwards as if he was desperate.
Luck was on his side in the end, and his near-death struggle was miraculously effective. After being touched by him, the football hit the crossbar. Ranocchia returned to the defense and rushed the ball before Rooney. .
"Goal~~~~~~~ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It's a pity that Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was blocked by Frey inconceivably!"
Overtime is over!
The Fiorentina players also rushed towards Frey. At this moment, Frey was the hero of Fiorentina. His incredible save saved Fiorentina.
"Good job! Sebastian!" Digan hugged Frey's shoulder tightly, his voice was a little hoarse.
Frey also has the expression of the rest of his life, but the bigger test is still waiting for him one by one penalty shootout!
Ferguson on the sidelines was also annoyed, and he was facing an even worse situation at the moment. Tevez, Scholes, and Carrick, who were good at penalty kicks, were all replaced by him.
