In this sleepy atmosphere, the two teams finally finished this disappointing overtime and ushered in the final penalty shootout!
However, what everyone didn’t expect was that this penalty shootout, which should be decided after at most five rounds of mutual shooting, would be completely different in Florence and Vicenza!
In that first four round of the penalty shootout, four players in Florence hit the penalty kick, but Tony, the first penalty kick from Vicenza, kicked the ball off the crossbar, resulting in Vicenza temporarily falling behind one city by three to four in the penalty shootout!
As a result, the situation of the game seems to have become quite good. It is necessary to receive the fifth penalty from Florence and send the ball to the goal, so the game can be declared over!
However, the Italian midfielder fell off the chain at this critical moment, and his penalty kick was kept in front of the door. ballotta caught him redhanded!
And Vicenza’s fifth penalty, Ballack, steadily scored a penalty, which brought the two teams to the same starting line again!
At this critical moment, such dramatic changes have taken place, which has made all the fans’ hearts in their throats support Fiorentina fans’ untimely sighs and sighs. As expected, the young man’s psychological quality is still not ready. Capello should send Carlos, who is more experienced. Perhaps this penalty will not be so easily saved by the opposing goalkeeper.
After the first five rounds of penalty shootout, the two sides will be punished by sudden death, that is, the players of both sides will continue to punish each other in turn until one side punishes at the end of a certain round and the other side fails to score, and the penalty winner will win the final victory.
And this officially kicked off this long penalty shootout!
From the sixth round to the tenth round, the penalty shooters from both sides have to maintain an amazing hit rate and psychological quality, and punish a total of ten penalty shooters into a miss!
In the eleventh round, the goalkeepers from both sides took the penalty kick and took off their gloves. toldo didn’t have any stage fright at the penalty kick, and his feet were good. He directly pushed the left corner of the goal and succeeded. And ballotta, who followed closely, didn’t let his teammates down. He tricked toldo into sending the ball into the goal. Ten to ten!
Twentytwo players on both sides have been punished once, and the referee has been stunned by this, so that the players of the two teams can take turns to take the penalty according to the rules.
In the 12th round, Ronaldo played again, easily tricked ballotta into taking a penalty, and Tony will make up for the score of eleven to eleven this time!
In the 13th and 14th rounds, vieri and Lei Dongduo both resisted the pressure to shoot the penalty, but unfortunately Vicenza didn’t miss the goal. toldo failed to stop Oddo and Larsson from shooting, and the two sides continued to keep neck and neck in the penalty shootout.
The long penalty shootout finally came to an end after the 15th roundeffenberg stormed past ballotta’s fingers and Amber Luo Saidi shot at the right corner of the goal but was saved by toldo!
Florence beat Vicenza 1413 in the penalty shootout and won the European Super Cup for the fourth time in a row!
Chapter 679 After the game
When the long game finally came to an end with Amber Luo Saidi’s missed penalty, effenberg’s ecstasy and Amber Luo Saidi’s tears were captured by a reporter present, and this contrast photo became a necessity for several media to annotate the final!
Florence won hard, Vicenza was glorious! This is after the end of the European Super Cup, most sports media commented on the game.
In the face of the powerful Florence player who almost dominated the whole European football, he showed amazing courage and willpower in this game, and stubbornly dragged Viola into the final penalty shootout. In the process of exchanging penalties, Vicenza withstood great psychological pressure after once falling behind, and only after fighting with Florence for fifteen rounds did he hand over the victory to Viola because of a penalty gap.
And this just gives those media who are always afraid of chaos enough to create a topic. They spend a lot of time to focus people’s attention on Florence, where they took a full 15 rounds of penalties to kill Vicenza and win the championship, but turned a blind eye to Florence’s excellent opportunities in the competition.
These biased comments and reports of the media inevitably influenced the judgment of the fans, leading many people to misunderstand that Florence’s strength has slipped sharply with the departure of a large number of players in the summer, and even a small role like Vicenza can’t handle it.
Of course, this view can also deceive fans and amateurs who don’t know much about football. After all, as the saying goes, amateurs watch the fun and watch the doorways. None of the coaches who really play football, such as leading teams to play games all day, believe these media stories, but they all raise the risk numbers of Vicenza and Florence by one level in their hearts.
After all, this protracted penalty shootout really shocked many people and glasses. After watching the video of this game, almost all the head coaches have to weigh it in their hearts to see if their coaching teams have such strong willpower as Florence and Vicenza that they can score so many penalties under such great pressure.
What kind of trouble is it that a penalty shootout takes 15 rounds to win or lose? !
And the most important thing is that the players from both sides kicked three penalty kicks out of the 30 penalty kicks. As a result, all concerned people have a new understanding of the psychological quality and stress resistance of the players from Florence and Vicenza. If they really meet these two teams, I am afraid the game will be very difficult …
A team with many stars is not terrible, but a team with strong willpower and excellent players is very terrible, because this kind of team is often extremely difficult to beat and will be reversed if it is not careful.
In this way, the coaches struggled to watch Florence usher in the second official game of the new season.
Three days after the end of the European Super Cup, that is, on March 31, the 1999 Italian Super Cup final was held as scheduled at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
The match between the two sides is still Florence and Vicenza, two teams that fought a big battle only three days ago. It can be said that it is fate that Florence won the triple crown and the runnerup of the Italian Cup happened to be Vicenza, the team that won the Cup Winners’ Cup.
So Florence and Vicenza had to face a rather embarrassing schedule at the beginning of the season and meet in the European Super Cup and the Italian Super Cup finals.
Because both teams lost a lot in the European Super Cup final three days ago, many players have not recovered from the war of attrition. Therefore, Capello and Guidolin had to make a big rotation in their starting lineup in this final tonight. The two coaches will be dumbfounded if the players suffer from fatigue caused by continuous battles.
After all, it is a big blow to the morale and strength of the team if the generals are damaged before the league game.
It is precisely because of this factor that the Olympic stadium presented two sets of starting lineup in front of the fans that were very different from those three days ago.
Compared with the starting lineup that faced the giants, Vicenza’s strength was less after the rotation, but the book strength showed a sharp slide. The formation of the team also changed from the former fourfourtwowing Qi Fei to the midfield diamond, which became more focused on gradual infiltration.
Oddo and Koko were replaced by Lauren and Grosso. Although ballotta, Onopuko and repka still appear in the starting list, it is still unknown how much their status has recovered after the fierce battle three days ago.
In midfield, Keus, an old Italian player, is the first player with a single waist, and the core of the organization is young players Mo ‘ao brocchi and zauri, who play a role in connecting the front and back. They mainly support Mo ‘ao on the offensive end and help Keus build a midfield defense.
Tony and Larsson, two generals in the forward line, were replaced by C lucarelli (the Livorno center who won the Serie A Golden Boot) and moved to cristiano doni from Atalanta who lost the relegation playoffs this summer due to physical problems.
Compared with Florence, it obviously has more advantages in this respect, because Capello has much more cards in his hand than in Vicenza Guidolin. Now the first team in Florence is equipped with players. It is not impossible for Capello to play in two completely different starting teams with similar strength. The only problem is that all players can maintain a relatively good competitive state.
Goalkeepers De Sang Ke Tis, fortunato and mahdavikia played the starting fullback Materazzi and Hyypia in the middle; Claude Makelele sits in the midfield position, and Deco and Pirlo form a team. Dualcore Gattuso plays the role of a midfielder with his excellent running ability and fierce interception ability. The partner striker is filippo inzaghi and Dinatale. The former is elusive and the latter’s ability complements each other. It is a pretty good striker combination.
In this way, tens of thousands of fans watched Florence and Vicenza pull the curtain of the Italian Super Cup together for the second contest of the season!
Chapter 6 Italian Super Cup
There is nothing to say about this Italian Super Cup final. After all, Vicenza’s loss in that fierce battle three days ago was too great. The main players such as Paolotta did not return to their normal competitive state, and the main players such as lucarelli and brocchi, Ambrosini and Barak, also had a big gap in strength. Although Zhuang Ge did help Vicenza strengthen its bench depth this summer, it only meant that Vicenza had a good substitute array, so he faced this one three days ago. Compared with Florence, the second team of Florence sent a large number of substitutes to debut, and Vicenza was naturally beaten out of the water by his opponent with great strength difference.
Ballotta, Onopoco and repka have obviously not slowed down, which leads to Vicenza’s defense being far less tight than that in a fight. In the game, they were repeatedly given a shot by Inzaghi because of their slow response.
In midfield, Deco and Pirlo’s dualcore linkage makes Keus, brocchi and zauri form a defensive midfield, because these two organizations have excellent foot skills and vision, and they can still play these three engineers in the midfield.
Moyo, the core of Vicenza’s organization, was even more disappointing in this game. This young midfielder, who was favored by many people in Gattuso, left an impression on the fans in this game, except for grabbing and losing control of the ball in Gattuso.
The number of shots threatened and the ball didn’t kick, except for losing the ball or going back to Moo. It can be said that the Olympic Stadium was completely invisible tonight!
The strikers lucarelli and Doni did their best to win some chances by unremitting running and fighting, but at the end of the game, they fell into the control of Florence, and their efforts seemed to be in vain
In the 15th minute, in the 45degree angle on the right side of the stadium, mahdavikia made a big move when repka cleared the penalty area, and accidentally kicked over the ball that was grabbed by him. Inzaghi, the referee, decided to award a penalty. Pirlo had the best penalty technique, and the Czech central defender shot the ball into ballotta’s goal. Florence scored the first record!
In the 27th minute, Pirlo played a oneonone match with Deco in the middle, and broke through the defense of brocchi and zauri in succession. After that, a Marseille circled over the last barrier of Vicenza midfield, Keus, and then directly kicked the door at the top of the restricted area!
Seeing Pirlo’s shot, ballotta immediately relied on his rich experience in the only way for the ball to catch the shot directly. However, ballotta didn’t think that Inzaghi actually came out of a hole at this time and changed the ball’s flight path with his head on the way!
Because of the sudden accident, ballotta didn’t take remedial measures. By the time he reacted, the ball had flown over the goal line and was in close contact with the net.
Florence 20!
In the thirtythird minute, Inzaghi made another penalty. After Dinatale scored the ball at the front of the penalty area, he broke into the penalty area and was turned back by Onopuko. He made a penalty and got a yellow card for the Russian central defender.
Once again at the penalty spot, Pirlo shot the ball into the left corner of the goal to help Florence expand the score to three!
Seeing that Inzaghi had turned the restricted area of Vicenza upside down, Capello couldn’t help secretly regretting itif he had known that Inzaghi could do this, he would have let this guy deal with Vicenza three days ago.
However, in the case of three goals behind, the Vicenza players have completely lost their positions. After all, there are no people with excellent willpower among them. Therefore, when they are evenly matched, they can maintain a good fighting spirit. However, if their opponents surpass them, it is difficult for them to get together and form a powerful fighting force.
When Ambrosini or Ballack is present, Vicenza will never be so defeated. Even if the team falls behind by a big margin in the game, they will still lead their teammates to the last minute!
No matter whether he can play well in the game or not, if he is on the court, then his team will never collapse easily. This is the value of a leader player!
And the consequence of Vicenza’s players’ disorganization is that they will be hanged by Florence in the aftertime … If Capello is not too good, he will let his own players play at halftime, and I am afraid Florence will score more goals.
Finally, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Vicenza players almost returned to the dressing room in tears, because in the past 90 minutes, they were winners of the Cup Winners and runnersup of the Italian Cup, and they were beaten by Florence in a very sad way.
Pirlo scored twice on penalties. Inzaghi made two penalties and scored a goal at the same time. Dinatale and Deco also came off the bench one after another at halftime. Ljungberg scored a goal in injury time, while Vicenza managed to find a fig leaf by Donnie’s curveball from outside the penalty area in the 60th minute.
