Chapter 84: Fatal Blow


With the referee's whistle, the players from both sides walked from the court to the tunnel and then into their respective locker rooms.

After returning to the locker room, the home team players were all at a loss, breathing heavily and not daring to speak out, because they saw head coach Ranieri and assistant coach Benetti walking in.

In fact, not only was the coach dissatisfied with their performance in the first half, but even the players on the field were dissatisfied with their own performance.

Not to mention being led by the away team at their home court, they were outplayed by the away team for almost the entire first half.

This is something that cannot be forgiven under any circumstances.

"You performed well in the first half and only conceded one goal."

Upon hearing this, the team members lowered their heads.

"People who don't know think we are playing away from home.

Don't you know this is the Mestalla Stadium?

Don't you know this is our home court?"

Ranieri added another point in his tone.

The heads of the team members were lower than before, and their chins were almost touching their chests.

"Raise your head."

The words changed, and the voice became louder again, "Raise your head."

The players then raised their heads and looked at coach Ranieri.

"Here, I first want to apologize to everyone because I didn't do my job well.

I shouldn't have made such a response because of three away goals, so in the second half we have to attack and defeat the guys from the Apennine Peninsula.

Do you know whose home field this is?"

When I first heard Ranieri's apology, I was subconsciously stunned.

Ranieri ignored the stunned players.

He took the tactical board from Benetti's hand and began to explain the tactics for the second half to the players.

In sharp contrast to the home team's locker room is the visiting team's locker room.

They entered the locker room in twos and threes, happily chatting before and after, as if they had just finished watching half of a football match instead of playing half a game.

Baldini clapped his hands happily, and when the players were all focused, he smiled and said, "Although we only scored one goal in the first half, we believe that as long as we continue to attack the home team in the second half, It’s us who can score two more goals and enter the semi-finals.”

Baldini's words immediately aroused support from the players The fifteen minutes of halftime passed quickly.

Although Valencia's starting eleven did not perform ideally in the first half, Ranieri did not make any substitutions at the beginning of the second half because the players on the field did not have technical problems, but mental and attitude problems.

Something went wrong.

Therefore, the players on the field still need to make adjustments on their own.

Substitution alone cannot solve the problem.

Only two minutes into the game, Valencia used exquisite cooperation in the middle.

Albelda suddenly transferred the ball to the feet of Vicente on the left.

The latter used his speed to easily pass Vicente and then took off.

The cross was passed, but unfortunately Divayo, who was outflanking him in the middle, was a little bit upright, and the football was easily confiscated by Frey.

Three minutes later, Valencia made a comeback.

Baraja intercepted the ball from Guerrera's feet in the middle, and without hesitation passed the ball to Albelda who was next to him.

The latter did not stick to the ball and directly passed the ball through the ball.

To David Silva in front of him.

After receiving the ball, David Silva used his dexterous skills to get past Bonera, and then used his speed to completely throw the latter away.

Divayo in the center and Wesson on the left Tedu fiercely inserted into the middle, and Parma's entire defense was in chaos for a moment.

"Three-on-three in the frontcourt" Potenza saw that Bonera was easily passed by and quickly stepped forward to fill the position.

However, he did not blindly step forward and leave the gap behind him to Di Vayo.

Instead, he consciously followed David Silva's movement.

Frequency of dribbling while looking at the ball and backing up.

At this moment, David Silva suddenly dunked the ball to the left with his right foot, walked to the middle and switched the ball to his dominant left foot, and then quickly passed the ball with his left foot to the sudden retracement.

Corradi, David Silva did not stop after passing the ball and continued to run forward.

After running a few steps, he received the ball from Corradi.

“Nice one-two” At this time, David Silva had reached the line of the penalty area and swung his left foot.

Ferronetti had to rush over to block the shot.

What he didn't expect was that David Silva did not shoot, but swung the left foot if it was really passed.

With a push from the arch of his foot, the football was passed to Vicente who was running at high speed from the left.

"Vicente caught the ball and no defender next to him took a shot."

Half a second later, the Mestalla stadium announcement rang.

"ooooobjetivoooooo" 1:1 This suddenly forced Parma into a desperate situation.

Five minutes later, Parma made an adjustment and replaced defender Bonera with forward Pisanu, and the formation became a 352.

Baldini's desperate play seemed to arouse the fighting spirit of the players.

Less than five minutes after making substitution adjustments, Parma organized a fatal attack.

In the 57th minute, Morfeo took a quick free kick in the frontcourt.

Gilardino retreated to respond.

Under Ayala's defensive pressure, Gilardino passed the ball back to Morfeo. .

Seeing Morfeo take the ball again, Marchena rushed forward.

He had seen the power of this Italian veteran in the last game.

He was definitely a dangerous figure.

In the pre-match arrangement, Ranieri repeatedly reminded Marchena, the main defensive midfielder, to keep a close eye on him and not give him too much room to move.

Marchena quickly grabbed the ball, which made Morfeo a little at a loss.

Fortunately, he was experienced in many battles and did not stop the ball.

Instead, he pushed the ball directly with the arch of his foot and passed the ball to Bresciano beside him.

After Bresciano took a few steps, Baraja stood in front of him, blocking Baraja's line of sight with his body, then pushed the arch of his right foot and passed the ball to Morfeo in front of him.

Marchena saw Morfeo catching the ball and quickly pressed forward.

However, what he didn't expect was that Morfeo did not catch the ball, but spread his legs and missed the football.

“Morfeo’s beautiful leak” The football rolled to the right front of Morfeo.

A figure subconsciously froze when he saw the incoming ball, but then reacted very quickly.

He made a small run-up, then raised his thick right leg and shot from a long distance.

"Pisanu Long Shot" Gilardino, who was about to grab the ball, raised his arms when he saw the football go into the net.

He had no extra time to celebrate because he heard the roar of head coach Baldini, "Hurry up and kick off the ball quickly." 1:2 This goal was more of a matter of luck, a long shot from over 30 meters.

However, luck is often based on strength.

A turn for the better in Parma Now it's Ranieri's turn to be anxious, because if Parma scores one more goal and his side doesn't score, the total score between the two sides will be equalized, and both sides will have the same number of away goals and total goals. , then if this situation continues, overtime will be played. .

However, this is not what Ranieri wants to see.

Football is like this sometimes, often the thing you least want to see happen happens.

At the 64th minute of the game, it was Pisanu's ghostly movement again, coupled with Morfeo's very sneaky passing.

One pass after another, Pisanu caught the ball and scored directly with a touch of the ball.

In the penalty area, there is no defender in front of him.

Only Baraja, who reacted the fastest, struggled to pull behind Pisanu.

Just when Pisanu raised his right foot to hit the door, in desperation, Baraja pulled hard with his right hand, and Pisanu pulled hard. fell to the ground The referee hesitated for a moment, then blew his whistle and pointed the finger of his left hand at Valencia's penalty spot.

Penalty kick Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

The fans in the stands gave up and let out loud boos.

They were obviously extremely dissatisfied with the referee's decision.

How can you treat us like this at our home stadium?

However, what made the home team fans even more dissatisfied was yet to come.

After consulting the assistant referee, the referee took out a bright red card from his back pocket and showed it to Valencia captain Baraja.

Penalty kick plus red card This is a fatal blow for Valencia Aiello, who was warming up in the warm-up area, immediately stopped his warm-up movements.

Like Albiol who was warming up next to him, he cursed at the referee.

However, this did not affect the referee's decision.

He was very decisive.

The fans in the stands booed again At the same time, they kept scolding the referee.

"You are just a piece of shit" "Did I fuck your mother last night?"

"Mr.

Referee, be careful when you go back tonight, I will blow your anus."

As harsh boos erupted from the stands, the home team players gave up.

The hot-tempered Marchena and third vice-captain Alberta both ran to the referee to argue.

"Mr.

Referee, let's not talk about the opponent's diving first, why did you give us a red card?

Now I very much doubt your fairness in officiating the game."

The referee was unhappy when he heard this.

He quickly took out a yellow card from his chest pocket and showed it to Marchena.

After seeing this penalty, Albelda smiled instead of being angry and clapped his hands twice towards the referee.

The referee seemed addicted to showing off yellow cards.

Before he could put away the yellow card just now, he quickly turned around and showed it towards Albelda again.

Fortunately, the veteran goalkeeper Canizares, who came from the small penalty area, had quick eyesight and quick hands.

He hugged two teammates who were about to go berserk.

With the help of Aurelio and Ayala, he finally managed to put these two stubborn cows away.

Place of origin.

Otherwise, if one penalty kick results in three red cards, then this game really doesn’t need to be played.

Ranieri has always been known as a good guy.

When he first saw that it was a penalty kick, he was just a little impatient and immediately ordered the players on the bench to warm up.

However, when he saw the referee showing Baraja a red card Finally, this time completely He got angry and ran to the sidelines, shouting loudly, "You are a fucking piece of shit.

Do you know whose home field this is?

You must have collected black balls and black money last night."

He was insulting.

At the same time, Ranieri was still counting money with his right hand.

After the referee gave Marchena and Albelda a yellow card respectively, he heard the call of the fourth assistant referee on the sidelines.

He quickly pushed away the home team players who wanted to argue and ran to the sidelines to ask the fourth assistant referee.

After the fourth assistant referee said a few words in the head referee's ear, the head coach's face turned the color of pig liver.

He quickly took out the red card from his back pocket, ran to Ranieri, and faced Valencia's head coach shines Then he pointed his finger at the stands, indicating that Ranieri should be dismissed.

Of course the stubborn old Italian man was not willing to do so, and was ready to argue with the referee.

However, with the efforts of the UEFA staff, Ranieri was beaten by two tall and powerful men.

UEFA staff set up the stands
