Chapter 125 Try and Die
The audience was like a trial audience waiting for the judge's verdict, waiting for Baggio's choice.
Especially when Baggio raised his leg, everyone kept their eyes wide open and did not dare to blink, for fear of missing a crucial frame.
Baggio adjusted on the spot, facing the goal, and suddenly looked at the left side of the penalty area.
There?
Nuno Gomez!
The affection between Baggio and Nuno Gomez silently affected the defensive nerves of the Rangers players.
Nuno Gomez saw the "Goddess" calling himself, and immediately wanted to pull the defender Rixon who was defending him behind him.
"Handsome guy, let Yi let you block the goddess from looking at me."
"Go away, I am the management aunt of the girls' dormitory, please respect yourself."
Both of them wanted to grab a good seat, but Baggio's "infatuated" staring action did not change because of the two of them grabbing a seat, but his feet moved secretly.
The right foot passes the football diagonally to the other side - the right rib of the penalty area.
The Rangers players were stunned for a second, Fake squid, and the Italian also read the book of war.
Pointing and hitting!
Rui Costa cuts into the right rib with lightning speed, and then cuts in with lightning speed!
free!
Baggio saw the space!
Coach Ranieri and Fiorentina substitute players and Fiorentina fans in the stands cheered together.
There was a scream from the Rangers fans, chanting: "Defense!"
If someone guards, it is not called vacancy.
The football is like a shooting star that draws a beautiful parabola straight to the upper left corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Klose wanted to pounce and gave up, obviously too late, he was also cheated by Baggio, Baggio was so good tonight!
Rui Costa rushed to Baggio immediately: "How did you see me!"
Baggio smiled and gave him a high-five, motioned to Batistuta not to run over, and everyone thanked the wives together!
These family "ball players" lined up in a row, all kneeling on one knee, stretching out their left palms upwards, which is the movement of waltz dancing to invite female companions.
The wives (girlfriends) of each family lined up in the stands according to the position of their husbands and stretched out their right hands.
The interaction between the golfer and his wife is enviable to others.
Single dogs like Ronaldinho and Maicon let out howling wolves. They didn't understand that the husband and wife were throwing dog food, so why are they so excited?
"In the 34th minute, Fiorentina scored first. If this score can be maintained until the end, then they will advance to the top 16 of the Champions League two rounds ahead of schedule."
"Ruy's goal was more difficult than a shot. 90% of this goal came from Baggio's efforts. Tonight's Baggio gave people a different feeling..."
game restart
After 0:1, the two sides played a few more rounds without scoring a goal, and entered the intermission.
Because Baggio ran more than 7 kilometers in the first half of the game, which was far beyond the average level of veterans, Ranieri was afraid that Baggio would run out of energy, so he asked him if he could persist.
Baggio played this game with great experience, and of course he didn't want to end too early.
"Head, I can do it."
Ranieri did not refute or adjust the formation, but only confessed a few words: "The Rangers must counterattack in the second half. They have no choice, otherwise they will be eliminated in advance, so we have to defend a wave first, and then try to counterattack..."
beep!
The second half whistle sounded!
As expected, the Rangers tried to fight back.
They all remember that during the intermission, the head coach McLeish told: You can't shrink the defense. A 0:1 loss is no different from a 0:3 loss. Only three points can have hope of qualifying, so you must attack.
But the gap in strength was too great, and their offense did not achieve any satisfactory results. At the beginning of the second half, a wave of offense ended with striker Averazze kicking the football into the stands.
Florence began to organize the attack.
Shaggy signaled goalkeeper Toldo to pass the football to him.
After Shaqi received the ball, he turned and led forward, and then cooperated with Baggio, who retreated to meet him, to hit the wall with two passes and one hit.
After he passed the football to Baggio, he continued to run forward. Baggio didn't turn around and knocked the ball directly with the outside of his foot.
Shaggy received the ball and just met Arteta, the midfielder of the Rangers. He is the main midfielder of the Rangers and has excellent defensive ability. He is especially good at stealing and marking. He is a typical engineer midfielder.
Facing such a fierce defensive player, Shaqi learned to use his feet to solve the problem.
Seeing Arteta rushing up, Shaqi first made a gesture to pass the football to the right. When Arteta's center of gravity moved a little in that direction,
He suddenly stepped on the football with his left foot and pulled the ball back. Arteta jumped into the air, and Shaqi calmly pushed the football forward with his left foot, then started and passed the opponent.
Shaggy, who passed the opponent, did not pass the ball, but strode the ball directly to the Rangers' ribs.
When Rangers midfielder Barr saw Shakey's posture, he thought he was going to break through from the ribs, and rushed to stop him.
Shaqi has been waiting for this opportunity. Since he passed Arteta, he has been calculating the development of the situation on the field in his mind.
He noticed that after Baggio and himself played two-for-one, they ran to the right, while Batistuta moved closer to the center.
So he looked up to observe the opponent's situation while dribbling the ball. He found that after Arteta was passed by himself, the Rangers' defense line seemed very thin.
So he began to deliberately take the ball to the ribs on the right.
After Barr came up, Shaqi did not continue to dribble, but passed the football to Baggio who was pulled to the side
After receiving the ball, Baggio did not break through from the side but suddenly cut inside. Just when Rangers' full-back Vanoli and central defender Kizanshvili focused on him,
Baggio suddenly sent a through ball from the outside, and the football rolled past the outside of Rangers full-back Vanoli and entered the penalty area.
Vanoli and Gizanshvili turned around at the same time and saw that Batistuta, who was still in the front center of the penalty area just now, had already received the ball.
A beautiful straight pass diagonally!
No offside!
It is also the connection between the Fiorentina twin stars that Fiorentina fans have been looking forward to.
"This is Florence's chance." The commentator Justin shouted excitedly.
"Look at the ball... beautiful pass!"
When Batistuta received the ball, his back was facing the goal. Another center back of the Rangers, Emerson, rushed over, intending to steal a wave when Batistuta turned around and was not stable.
In this case, this attack threat can be considered ruled out.
Unexpectedly, just as he started, he saw Batistuta turn around and sweep with his right foot... without stopping the ball, he shot directly!
Neither the goalkeeper Kroos nor the central defender Emerson reacted. Neither of them thought that Batistuta would shoot directly without adjusting the angle after turning around.
This shot is as smooth as Dove chocolate, is this the power of a top superstar?
The two big men looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what expressions to use.
Surprised or frustrated?
Don't look at Batistuta swinging his legs, turning around and shooting a set of movements to make the clouds flow smoothly, the difficulty is actually doubled.
Many people really can't do it.
The two paid the price for their underestimation, and now they can only watch the football pass in front of them and hit the inside of the goal post and bounce into the net.
"Goooooooooooooooal!" Justin yelled hysterically and frantically: "Barty Goal! The Scots simply don't understand what God of War is. The goalkeeper and defender are obviously not prepared for this shot..."
"Batistuta is a world-class superstar, how can Emerson let him swing his thighs calmly?"
The Scottish commentator is very disappointed. This is the tragedy of low-level leagues. Players will always defend according to league experience. This approach allows some superstars to reduce dimensionality.
Batistuta's goal was a dimensionality reduction blow. If it was a Serie A or La Liga defender, he would not give Batistuta such a smooth shot.
Emerson will remember the goal for the rest of his life as a nutritious lesson for him.
Only more than 1000 Fiorentina fans in the stands became the owners of the stadium again.
Baggio assisted and Batty scored. This is something that Fiorentina fans love to see. Such a happy event, why save your throat?Roar to your heart's content and presumptuously, there are throat lozenges if you are hoarse.
Of course the Rangers fans weren't happy, and they fired back: "Spineless guy, where's your hair!" "Cut your hair, coward!"
This is mocking Batistuta for cutting off his flowing long hair for the 98 World Cup. Everyone has different opinions on this matter...
Baggio and Shaggy ran to Batistuta.
"Sacrificing oneself for the sake of the country is greatness, not a shame." Shaki patted Batistuta on the back and said.
Batistuta rubbed Xia Qi's hair with a smile, with a hint of bitterness in his smile.
Baggio's emotional intelligence is relatively low. He doesn't know how to comfort others. He uses practical actions to express his support for his teammates.
He put his index finger in front of his mouth and made a "shut up" motion at the Rangers fans, which resulted in more violent curses and boos.
Some people even shouted: "Piero!" "Zoff!" This is to add salt to Baggio's wounds.
"Damn, give them another ten goals!" Xia Qi said angrily.
"As long as we are opponents, no matter what we do, they will find reasons to hate, boo and curse. We don't need to be angry, just take these as compliments to us."
Baggio also rubbed Xia Qi's hair and advised Xia Qi not to be angry.
Perhaps it is this kind of mentality that Baggio was able to drag Italy forward with one leg in the 94 and 98 World Cups!
In awe!
Dancing with superstars, not only to learn their skills but also their mentality and quality...
Fiorentina lead 0-2, making Rangers manager McLeish miserable, and without a miracle they will be eliminated.
Although this result was expected, he still wanted to work hard, what if?
McLeish stood on the sidelines and made an offensive gesture to the players, and the players had no objections...
And Ranieri sat on the coach's bench, pulling the stubble of his chin, thinking about how to defend.
Yes, Ranieri, who is leading by two goals, is not thinking about how to expand the score, but defending. This is a common problem of all Italian coaches.
The backward Wanderers could only organize a counterattack, but their offense advanced to Shaqi and was stopped by Shaqi.
Xia Qi, who is doing well in the position of the defensive midfielder, has his judgment on where the football will fall, his excellent defensive awareness and his running without hesitation.
He has a high success rate in stealing the ball and has become the strongest shield in Fiorentina's defense.
The two teams began to play back and forth!
In the 47th minute, Fiorentina right back Maicon stepped in and made a cross!
Nuno Gomez volleyed directly from the left side of the penalty area and was blocked by defender Emerson.
In the 49th minute, the Rangers returned a shot to Fiorentina. They shot a long shot from the front of the penalty area. The angle was too straight and was confiscated by goalkeeper Toldo.
In the 52nd minute, Shaqi made a long pass from the midfielder. Batistuta stopped the football with his chest in the penalty area and shot low with his left foot, which was saved by Kroos.
In the 55th minute, Shaqi and Baggio hit the wall again. After that, Shaqi dribbled the ball and killed it.
When Xia Qi faced Morse's defense, his left shoulder sank and he wanted to make a fake move to surpass others. Who knows, he didn't understand the style and directly kicked Xia Qi down.
The mentality of the Rangers players began to become a little anxious.
The referee's whistle sounded, and the Rangers fans on the stage cheered for Morse!
Baggio is just playing tricks on people, after all, Baggio is the world's top star, even if you are an amateur...
Good shovel!
"Italian go back and be your manager!"
"Little friend, do you want to get a pacifier for you? Football is not something you can play."
"Good job, Morse!"
"It's long overdue to shovel these Italians."
Shaggy turned a deaf ear to the abuse from the Rangers fans in the stands as he got up from the ground.
The referee on duty for this game gave Morse a verbal warning and did not draw a card. Then he awarded Fiorentina a free kick 23 meters away from the goal and slightly to the right.
The first free kicker in the team must be Baggio,
When Baggio was about to come up to take the penalty with the football in his arms, Shaqi ran over.
"Roberto, what are you going to do with this free throw?" he asked.
Baggio thought it was strange for Shaqi to ask this question. How could he make a penalty? How else could he be punished? Kick the ball in with his feet.Is it by hand?
Seeing that Baggio was a little confused and did not answer his own question, Xia Qi further explained:
"Let's make a change, like... well, we practiced extra that day."
It was only then that Baggio remembered what Shaqi was going to say.
During the extra training that day, Xia Qi helped him practice free kicks, and he helped Xia Qi practice shooting.
In the process of practicing free kicks, Shaqi stood between two movable wall molds, and asked him to hit the football through this position, so that he could directly hit the opponent's wall.
This is not some novel free-kick tactic.
However, the subtlety of this cooperation is not that the football must be played through the gap, but that it allows the defensive side to focus on Xia Qi, but he can find another way.
He nodded, accepting Xia Qi's idea.
"Ok!"
Seeing that Baggio agreed, Xia Qi walked towards the wall of homeless people, ready to jump in line inside.
Baggio suddenly remembered that when he practiced free kicks with Xia Qi for the first time, he once wanted to play tricks on the opponent and kicked the ball directly at Xia Qi while he was not paying attention.
As a result, Xia Qi escaped the "conspiracy" in a very timely manner.
He still finds it unbelievable.
I did it on a whim, and the paralyzed face would not reveal my emotions. How could Xia Qi be prepared to escape the teasing at that time?
Looking at Xia Qi's back, Baggio felt an urge to try again. He always felt that Xia Qi was different and had some superpowers, otherwise many things would be difficult to explain.
Xia Qi should, probably wouldn't have thought that he didn't want to shoot but wanted to "plot" him!
Whether you have superpowers or not, just try to find out...
Or, try?
Try and die?
