I would like to ask for recommendation votes at the beginning, and I would like to thank all readers for their rewards and evaluation votes...

Yuliano's eyes were staring at the ball falling from the air, constantly moving his position, preparing to destroy Florence's attack as soon as possible. Of course, he would not forget Batistuta, who also planned to grab the ball, while moving, and constantly paying attention to the movements of batistuta who was fighting around him to land.

Although he has been away from Fiorentina for more than a year, Uliano will never forget the horror of this Argentine center. When he was still in the second division, Batistuta often faced him directly in the team training. No one in Juventus knows Bati's strength and technical characteristics better than him. Even Pesotto, who transferred from Fiorentina to this same time, could not.

Therefore, Euliano's purpose is to prevent Bati from forming a single-handed attack on his goal after getting the ball. He believes that as long as he can block Bati for a few seconds, then when Blank behind him follows and attacks the Argentinian, Bati, who has not excellent dribbling skills, will definitely lose the ball. Fiorentina's attack will be successfully blocked.

But a scene that Yuliano did not expect appeared. When he was four or five meters away from Juventus' penalty area, Batistuta jumped high, staring at the ball flying from the back, as if he was planning to head the ball directly at this distance!

I'll take a break! No way?! When did the old captain have such strong strength and bounce? He can actually receive a ball of this height here! I've never seen it before! While surprised by Bati's amazing move, Yuliano quickly jumped up and planned to intercept the header from the front.

Blank and Uliano's attention were attracted by Batistuta, who jumped up in advance to fight for the header. As soon as he saw Bati take off first, Juliano subconsciously jumped up with the Argentine center forward, while Blank, not far behind Bati, rushed forward desperately, trying to influence Bati's top below so that he could not use his strength when heading the ball.

But the ball did not fall on any of the three of them, but flew high above their heads!

Barty successfully deceived Juventus' only two defensive players besides the goalkeeper with himself as bait!

"Battistuta attracted the attention of two Juventus' central defenders by taking off early, and kept the two firmly by himself, creating an excellent opportunity to score for his partner Philip Inzaghi! Inzaghi scored one-on-one!" Rao shouted excitedly. As a professional football commentator, he knew how to mobilize the audience's emotions.

Inzagi easily caught the flying ball without anyone defending. At this time, he had just rushed into Juventus' penalty area. A few meters behind him, Batistuta and Uliano fell to the ground at the same time, just blocking Blank who was about to rush back to defend. Juventus' goalkeeper Peruzzi had just run out of the small penalty area...

As a striker with the main purpose of scoring, Inzaghi has a hundred ways to send football into the goal behind Peruzzi when facing the goalkeeper one-on-one. This time he chose the safest one - facing Peruzzi who abandoned the goal, Inzaghi took a big step with his right foot and passed through Peruzzi who fell to save.

Facing a whole empty goal, Pi Bo did not drag the ball at all and directly pushed the ball into Juventus' goal!

"Gooooooal! The ball scored! The goal was Philip Inzagi! He passed the opponent's goalkeeper Peruzzi and pushed the ball into the empty goal! One to zero! Fiorentina won the first goal at Juventus' home court!"

"Inzagi should thank his partner. If Bati hadn't deliberately jumped early and tricked two defensive players from Juventus, it would be difficult for him to get the ball, let alone a single shot."

Inzaji's performance was just in line with Rao's commentary. After scoring the goal, he opened his arms and yelled at his captain, thanking him for his cover. Bati hugged Inzaji and laughed and celebrated the goal with him.

After the kick-off, Juventus, who was behind in the score, began to prepare to counterattack and equalize the score, but Juventus players who lacked the core of the organization unconsciously divided into two groups on the court. Some wanted to launch a fierce attack on the goal of Fiorentina immediately to equalize the score as soon as possible. Another group of people planned to defend the last time of the first half and wait for the halftime break to adjust the head coach to avoid losing another ball due to the team being too pressed. After all, falling behind one ball and falling behind two balls are completely different...

With the ununified mindset, Juventus' entire team's formation was obviously out of touch after the kickoff. The distance between offensive players and defensive players was too large, giving Fiorentina an excellent opportunity to expand its lead. Costa and others' passing skills were fully demonstrated during this period, constantly passing the ball directly to the space in front of Juventus' defense line, and then two strikers, Barti and Inzagi, completed the shot.

As a result, just five minutes after the last goal, Fiorentina made a comeback. Viali's long shot outside the penalty area was blocked by Ferrara. After getting the clearance, Dibiagio immediately passed the ball to Costa in front of him. Rui Costa received Dibiagio's pass in the middle of the stadium and then kicked a 30-meter long pass directly to the front of Juventus' penalty area. The person who received the Portuguese pass was Fiorentina's captain Batistuta!

Batistuta received the ball with his back, Yuliano pushed him behind Bati and refused to let him turn around and shoot. Blank on the other side planned to use his height and length to intercept the ball from Bati's feet.

How can this situation stump Batistuta?

The Argentinian waved his arm and blocked Blank's sneak attack. He then leaned back and squeezed Juliano away with a basketball low-post back-on-one action. He took advantage of the gap in this moment and immediately turned around and shot vigorously. The ball quickly plunged into Juventus' goal. Peruzz, who was blocked by his teammates, had to announce his surrender for this shot. Fiorentina expanded its lead, 2-0!

Seeing such a passive situation, Lippi, the Silver Fox, who had been silent on the sidelines, finally got angry. After Fiorentina scored their second goal in this game, Lippi yelled angrily on the sidelines. Judging from the scenes taken in the live camera, there were many quite disharmonious words in Lippi's voice...

The Juventus players who were roared by Lippi on the spot finally came back to their senses. In the last few minutes of the first half, all Juventus players gave up their offense and defended with all their strength, and finally reached the end of the first half of the game.
Chapter completed!
