Chapter 157 GOAL!

Although La Nokia still looks very young and immature in defensive technology, on the one hand, it is with Thiago. Compared with Silva, La Nokia is more suitable for the current Florentine, Tiago. Silva has the nickname "Silent Rock" among Florence fans, and La Nokia is more domineering.

Originally, he thought it was a loophole, but he found that he hit his head on the angry bull. Ferguson's depression could be imagined.

Seeing that there was little time left in the game, but his team could not find a good opportunity, Ferguson was also a little anxious. He began to dispatch troops to replace Carrick with South Korean player Park Ji-sung, and then Alan. Smith replaced Tevez.

When Tevez came off the game, he looked very dissatisfied, but he had nothing to complain about. His performance in this game was simply a scum. After 80 minutes of playing, he didn't even shoot a goal. It was very humane for Lord Ferros to put up with it until this time to replace him.

The two substitutions of Manchester United seem to be opposite, but you should know, after Smith returned to Manchester United, he has not played the position of striker for a long time, and more often, he appears in the back position.

Speaking of Smith's change of position, it was also a bitter tear. After his transfer to Manchester United, Alan had three strikers, Alan. Smith has been hovering between the main force and the substitute since he transferred from Leeds United to Manchester United.

When the hot England striker came to Old Trafford, head coach Ferguson thought that Manchester United only needed Smith to be a complete striker.

But as Ferguson learned more about Smith, he gradually discovered Smith's other potential one by one!

At that time, Sir Alex Ferguson said in a news interview with Sky Sports that he was sure of Alan. Smith would be an excellent full-time midfielder and may even become the successor of captain Keane, which was really surprising at that time.

Then, when Smith first played for Manchester United, he played a very good protection behind Scholes and Giggs, helping Manchester United control the midfield well, and he frequently steals to let Manchester United press their opponents in the half-court, and head coach Ferguson's tactical intention was also obtained. It was well implemented, and Manchester United finally won the game.

After the game, Ferguson told the reporter of Sky Sports: "We have seen his unlimited potential. He is only 24 years old and he is very young. Indeed, we are considering whether he may become Keane's successor. We have been talking about it. Of course, you can't get another Keane, Smith. Smith is Smith, who will bring us a different role from Keane.

It can be seen that Ferguson's expectations for Smith were quite high at that time.

In fact, Lord Ferguer had this idea as early as when he planned to introduce Smith. In Ferguson's mind, there has always been a transformation of Smith from a striker to a midfielder. The original inspiration came from a league between Smith and Fulham, when Smith successfully shoveled the defender in the opponent's penalty area and then scored a goal, which also impressed Ferguson.

So when Smith moved to Manchester United, Ferguson intends to maximize Smith's enthusiasm and efficiency to transform him into a midfielder.

Now it seems that Ferguson's transformation of Smith is still very successful. At this time, Ferguson is obviously not going to continue to attack, but to defend.

Probably Ferguson also felt that it was very difficult to solve the battle through the 90-minute game, but the more likely the game was to end, the more likely it was to happen, so he had to base himself on defense first, and then think about other things.

While Ferguson was replaced, Prandelli also began to adjust his lineup and replaced the striker Mutu. After 80 minutes of the game, Mutu's physical fitness has basically reached its limit.

However, Prandelli's next replacement was not Pacini, who began to partner with Degan when he was in Atlanta, but Cavinage. Although Cavinage's ability to grab points in front of the goal is not as good as Pacini, his impact is stronger and his header is better. Now Florence focuses on two sides, so he replaces with Cavi Najib is obviously more suitable than replacing Pacini.

Then Prandelli replaced Motta with Arteta. Motta's physical fitness has always been his weakness. At this time, he took a break and strengthened his offensive ability with Arteta.

Now the mentality of the head coaches of both sides has just changed. At first, Ferguson wanted to solve the battle in 90 minutes, but now he is eager to become Prandelli.

This is also completely understandable. Compared with Manchester United, Fiorentina lacks too much experience in Europe. Once the game enters overtime, Florence will become more and more panicked, and experienced Manchester United can be more calm.

After Arteta came on the field, it immediately had an immediate effect. His long passes hit behind Manchester United one after another, and at the same time completely liberated Montolivo, allowing him to plug in more and play the role of a raid.

But Manchester United strengthened the thickness of the midfield after replacing Smith, and the two sides were completely a battle between spear and shield.

"It seems that it is difficult for both sides to finish the game in 90 minutes now. Manchester United sent Alan. Smith, Sir Ferguson's intention is obvious, which is to drag the game. Although Florence wants to attack, it does not have an advantage in a local position on the field. At the same time, it has to guard against the opponent's counterattack and dares not invest too much troops in the attack, and it is difficult to penetrate the opponent's defense line.

The head coaches of both sides have also calmed down now. Looking at their thoughtful appearance, we know that they are all preparing for the next overtime. Now that the goal victory has been cancelled, the half-hour overtime is a difficult test for the physical fitness of the players on both sides.

Florence is young and has a physical advantage. Although there are many veterans in Manchester United, they are experienced. In addition, Ferguson has added Park Ji-sung and Smith in the midfield. It is hard to say who has the advantage of these two physical maniacs.

When the game time entered 88 minutes, both sides seemed to be unprepared to attack. Fiorentina skillfully fell down in the midfield and backfield, which was Florence's ability. With such a small-scale pass and catch, it was difficult for the opponent to grab the ball.

However, the regular time of the game is about to end. At this time, Fiorentina is probably killing time. The football passed to Degan's feet. Suddenly, Degan has a big foot on the right side. Abart, who was just now in his own half, suddenly plugged in and received the ball towards Manchester United. The team's bottom line rushed over.

"Attack!"

Degan shouted and rushed to Manchester United's penalty area first. His speed was so fast that Ferdinand subconsciously wanted to hold him, but he didn't pull anything.

The sudden acceleration of Florence caught Manchester United off guard. Evra was very close to the middle at this time, and it was difficult to defend Abat. Abat rushed more than ten meters forward with the ball and did not encounter the interception of Manchester United.

"Damn it! Stop him, stop him!"

Ferguson roared anxiously on the sidelines and turned his head to look at Prandelli. Obviously, the attack was arranged in advance, waiting for the Manchester United players to relax and then hit fatally.

It's terrible!

Ferguson can't believe that such a young coach is so calm that he arranged such a one-strike tactic to control the enemy at the end of the game.

Digan, Cavinagi, Montolivo, and all the players in the midfield of Florence rushed up. It seems that Fiorentina is going to gamble on this last blow.

Abat calmly raised his foot pass. Degan, who rushed to the front, suddenly realized that he seemed to have run over and was in an offside position. He quickly stopped and let the football fly over his head. Just now, he had seen Kavinage plugging in at high speed.

It's close! Close!

Kavinage threw himself out desperately, his body almost parallel to the ground, and a fish jumped to the top.

The football just hit Kavinage's forehead. Although Vidic tried his best to stop it, his interception was still a little slower. Although Van der Sar made a save in time, the distance was too close. Coupled with his tall body, he wanted to fall to the ground in an instant, which was simply a fantasy.

Under the gaze of fans around the world, the football went straight into the lower left corner of the goal from the foot of van der Sar.

The goal is scored!

At the moment the football entered the net, Ferguson felt that the whole world was black. He worked hard for a season. Although he won the league championship, he valued the European championship more.

Is it just giving up!

Seeing the goal, Cavinage roared excitedly and rushed to the place where the Fiorentina fans gathered on the sidelines.

The Fiorentina fans in the stands have exploded at this time, and the game is coming to an end. At this time, the goal scored by Kavinagi is the final shot.

Manchester United has no chance!

There is no chance at all!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"

The Italian commentator also roared loudly. Who said that Italian football has fallen? Look at now, in six years, teams from Serie A have won four Champions League trophies. Who dares to say that the Italian League is not the world's first league?

At this time, the referee's whistle also sounded!

The game is over!

European champion!
