Chapter 1271 The dust settles
PS1: This is the update on Wednesday, a little late. I hope that all book friends don’t care too much about the update time. I’ll guarantee that I will not stop updating...
PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.
It's over! This is the first thought that Molina came to her mind after hearing the referee's whistle that the goal was valid. Molina knew very well that this goal would make the promotion situation that had already revealed a glimmer of hope for the promotion situation of La Coruña even worse. After all, before, they only needed to score another goal before they could eliminate Fiorentina with the advantage of having many away goals with the same total score. Now, they must score two goals in the remaining ten minutes to save a chance to advance to the semi-finals!
To chase two goals in such a short time, this is completely different from the previous task of "scoring one goal and advancing"!
Thinking of this, Molina quietly observed the expressions of his teammates around him and found that Nebert and captain Mauro Silva were both panting "huffing" at this time. It seems that in the more than thirty minutes after the start of the second half, these elderly veterans did not consume much physical strength, so when Florence began to exert force, they were completely unable to stop the attack of Zi Lily and could only barely support it with their will and game experience.
After noticing the expressions of these teammates, Molina became even more uneasy. He felt that his trip to the Champions League this season might end tonight.
"The big thing is decided!" At the same time, Zhuang Mingge was at home and Karin and Groz, a little boy, celebrating the team's successful advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League in advance. He did not think that Laco still had a chance to turn the tables in this situation.
You should know that although Laco successfully rose at the turn of the century and achieved results and honors that were not inferior to those of the two Spanish super giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona, in order to ensure their record, their strategies in the transfer market are more conservative and will basically not actively sell the main players in the team.
The transfer strategy adopted by Laco can be said to have both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, this style of not selling the main players can maximize the combat effectiveness of the team, and the tacit understanding between the players is relatively better; on the other hand, Laco's conservative transfer strategy makes them destined to be unable to adapt to professional football with increasing player mobility after the arrival of the Boseman era, and the high contract renewal cost also locked down the possibility of Laco's further development.
Therefore, it can be foreseen that once the status of these players declines due to age and injuries, the days of La Coruna's collapse will be coming.
Sure enough, after the game restarted, La Coruna, who was completely physically disadvantaged, lost steadily under Fiorentina's attack and could only huddle in the 30-meter area of his own half. Iruetta jumped straight on the sidelines, but he was powerless to do anything about this situation because he knew that the players had already played all their strength in this game. Since they could not even tie the total score in this situation, the ending was actually destined.
Although Iruetta replaced Dusher and Scaloni in the following time to try to make a last-minute attempt, at most this strengthened the already shaky defensive force, and did not make La Coruna's offense improve much. Surrounded by Marclayle and Barack, Berellon could hardly receive passes from his teammates, let alone organize a counterattack.
The Fiorentine players also created many opportunities to equalize the score during this period, but I don’t know if it was the goddess of luck who interfered with it. Neither Barack and Diego Milito or opportunist master Inzagi, they were able to seize these scoring opportunities and unfortunately missed the goal.
In this way, the score of one-to-two was maintained until the end of the game. Although the La Coruna players won a victory at their home court, they still lost three-to-five in the total score and had to accept the fate of being eliminated by defending champion Fiorentina.
Despite the final defeat in two Champions League matches with Fiorentina, the La Coruna players were praised and recognized by people for their wonderful performance in the second round. The title of "Super Laco" has once again been heard by fans all over the world.
Of course, along with the admiration of the fans, there are also covetousness from other clubs. Because everyone knows that La Coruña is a poor team, so as long as their players can be given high salaries, the success rate of poaching is still quite high.
For this, you can refer to the story of Rivaldo transferring to Barcelona and Roy Maque joining Bayern Munich that year, and you can know how powerless La Coruña is when dealing with other teams' poaching.
So, unless the Laco team is full of those players with particularly loyalty, it is not easy for them to maintain this lineup this summer.
Compared with La Coruna, who was still proud of his defeat, Florence, which had difficulty eliminating his opponent with his better overall strength, this time his performance was unsatisfactory. Although the 4-1 victory at Frankie Stadium did show the strong strength of the defending champion, Purple Lily almost ruined their entire advantages at Riasso Stadium.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, if Laco had not been weak in succession, Fiorentina might not have been able to overcome this hurdle to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
After eliminating La Coruna, Fiorentina ushered in the 29th round of Serie A with AC Milan in the following weekend. The two teams will fight at Frankie Stadium!
Since before this game began, Fiorentina had already led AC Milan in the standings by more than ten, and there were only six rounds left before the end of the Serie A. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, it is a foregone conclusion that Fiorentina defended the league.
Despite this, AC Milan did not choose to give up this game because of this. Instead, they were more eager to defeat Fiorentina in this direct showdown to prove their strength. Therefore, the Ross and Blacks, which also played a Champions League match in the middle of the week, sent all their main players in this game in order to take away a victory from the Frankie Stadium!
Chapter completed!
