"Gooooal!!! Goal scored! In the 19th minute of the game, Fiorentina finally scored with a long shot from Batistuta! Now Fiorentina took the lead 1-0 at home!" Rao, who was responsible for commenting on this game, stood up excitedly at this time. After all, Fiorentina's goal was really exciting. Fiorentina, who had not gotten many opportunities after the opening, could use a counterattack to score at this time.

With a goal, he still had such a beautiful shot in the counterattack, which will definitely greatly improve the morale of Fiorentine players. "Fiorentine needs to continue to work hard now. The total score of both sides is 3-2, and Dortmund is one goal ahead... But! As long as Fiorentine can score another goal in this game, even if the total score is tied, Fiorentine can advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League with the advantage of having many away goals! Come on! Fiorentine!"

Batistuta, who scored the goal, ran towards the corner flag area and faced the Fiorentine fans in the stands, making a signature celebration of shooting with machine guns. The Fiorentine fans in the stands were also very happy that their captain could score such a wonderful goal, and cheered Bati with their greatest voices!

Dortmund's players were stunned at Batistuta who was celebrating wildly on the sidelines. None of them expected that Batistuta, who was just still involved in defense in Fiorentina's penalty area, would appear at the front of Dortmund's penalty area again in a few dozen seconds later to participate in the offense.

When Dortmund saw Reuters and Heinrich had already attached to Djokaf and Baggio, they thought that this counterattack was no longer threatening, so they unconsciously slowed down their pace of return to defense. Unexpectedly, when the attention was relaxed, Batistuta took advantage of the loophole, which led to the team's concealment just now.

Heathfield also looked at the court with helplessness at this time. From the beginning of the game until the goal was concealed, his team had always taken the initiative on the court. Unexpectedly, the players were careless in this situation of having the advantage.

After all, if the players who just returned to defense could focus a little more and follow Batistuta faster, Fiorentina would not have scored this goal. Now, the total score has become three to two. Although he still has a certain advantage, the away goal scored by the opponent in the first leg has begun to emerge from Heathfield's mind. If Fiorentina scores again, then Dortmund will be eliminated from the Champions League.

So Heathfield called Reuter, who was closest to him, and whispered a command. He planned to expand the team's defense by strengthening midfield pressing, and then use Mueller's organizational skills to counterattack so that the Fiorentines dare not easily press on the offense. It would be great if they could get another away goal through counterattack.

Of course, Heathfield did not forget to tell Reuter that he had to tell his teammates a word...

"You must concentrate! I don't want to see something like the kind of defense that misses someone just now happen again!" Heathfield said.

"No problem! Boss! I will tell them!" Reuter respected the head coach who was born in the Ruhr area. After hearing Heathfield's instructions, he immediately turned around and returned to the court to start his mission.

"..." After hearing the instructions from the head coach, Summer and Mueller frowned unconsciously. In the eyes of these two people, it should not be Heathfield who has the right to command this team, but themselves.

However, the qualities of obedience and team consciousness developed by German players since childhood have temporarily overwhelmed these small calculations in their minds. After all, the two of them have not had many honors now, and the title of a league champion does not have enough persuasiveness to make the team obey their own words.

This is also why Summer and Mueller just frowned but did not oppose the head coach's tactical arrangement in person, although in their opinion this arrangement seems a bit unreasonable.

After the kickoff, the Dortmund players firmly followed the head coach's instructions and reinvigorated the midfield's pressing efforts, intending to use iron-blooded defense and sharp counterattack to regain the initiative on the court before conceding the ball.

But what they didn't expect was that the Fiorentine players seemed to have regained their confidence because of the goal just now, and began to stabilize their position and play steadily instead of blindly pursuing and scoring quickly. Four players, Rui Costa, Effenberg, Djokaf, and Robert Baggio, quickly controlled the situation on the court with a series of simple and clear rapid transmissions, and did not let the game return to the rhythm the visiting team wanted.

In terms of foot skills, these players in Fiorentina are better than Dortmund's players overall. Although Dortmund's players launched crazy pressing in the midfield, after stabilizing their position and gradually regaining their confidence, Fiorentina's passing organization continued in an orderly manner!

Fiorentina's advantage lies in its technology. After Batistuta scored a goal, they stabilized their position again and finally began to show their technical advantages!

Especially after the two full-backs in Fiorentina advanced more to the midfield to participate in the attack, Dortmund's disadvantage in the midfield became increasingly obvious. After all, both sides had eleven players on the court, and no one was more than each other. Fiorentina's wide attack began, and the two full-backs, Reuters and Heinrich, naturally could not be distracted to help their teammates cut off the midfield organization of Fiorentina. The three teammates responsible for midfield defense behind Mueller seemed a little busy with the continuous transmission of multiple players in Fiorentina.

After the defensive pressure on the midfield began to weaken, Fiorentina's offense gradually improved!

In the 43rd minute of the game, Baggio received a pass from Costa and pulled the ball with a beautiful turn and dodged Zorke's press, and then quickly dribbled the ball forward!

Although Zorke tried hard to catch up with him, he still couldn't catch up with Baggio - after all, he was already very old. The continuous running for dozens of minutes just now consumed a lot of his physical strength. Of course, he couldn't catch up with Baggio, who was only 28 years old.

When Baggio received the ball, his position was already close to the area 30 meters away from the opponent's goal. After dribbling two steps, he directly entered Dortmund's hinterland.

Facing Coral who rushed to defend, Baggio raised his left foot and pretended to shoot. After attracting the opponent's attention, he quickly dunked the ball into the penalty area and broke through!

After drifting past Coral, Baggio directly dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Facing another defender, Samer, who rushed over to make up for defense and goalkeeper Clos who attacked, Baggio directly pushed the ball and shot, and the ball quickly rushed into the goal! 2-0!

The moment Baggio sent the ball into the goal, huge cheers burst out from the stands at Frankie Stadium!

Of course, tens of thousands of Fiorentine fans were cheering and cheering. The other 1,000 Dortmund fans present all fell silent and fell into a dead silence!
