    (Requesting monthly ticket) In the second leg of the Italian Cup quarter-finals, Fiorentina played Roma for the fourth time this season.  In the previous three games, Fiorentina had one win and two draws to remain unbeaten, and has a certain psychological advantage.  But this is a battle of life and death, and Rome will never let Florence pass easily.  In fact, the game was more difficult than Florence imagined before the game.  Roma ranks eighth in the league, a few points behind first-placed Juventus, and cannot even qualify for the UEFA Cup. The cup is like a life-saving straw for them. They never want to give up, and they must never give up.  .  A month ago, Roma head coach Del Neri said, "Roma is still one of the strongest teams in Serie A, and we still have hope of reaching the Champions League." But now Del Neri's words have changed.  Before the second round, he said: "We must prove that we are the strongest team in Italy, and the Italian Cup championship is the best opportunity. This is also our only chance to win the championship. We must not give up." During the game.  , the Roma players broke out under pressure. They put pressure on Florence from the first minute of the game. The full-court press made Florence breathless, and the fierce fouls also made people forget that this was once a championship team.  Team.  Fiorentina's determination is still a bit lower than that of Roma. They still have great hope of winning the league. Although they don't want to give up in the cup, with such strong fighting spirit and determination of their opponents, Fiorentina's players are timid and want to win.  Win and be afraid of getting hurt.  But the more you fear, the more you get. In the 30th minute of the first half, Prince Totti of Rome scored a goal. With a beautiful free kick, Roma overtook the total score to: I. Florence's away goal advantage also disappeared.  In the first minute of the game, Fiorentina forward Miccoli was tackled by his opponent after a powerful shot. Mondonico then replaced him with Rigano.  Miccoli is Florence's second goalscorer. They scored 8 goals and has gradually become Chen Yu's best partner. His injury is a big blow to Florence.  After falling behind, Florence launched a counterattack.  Roma refused to give an inch. They were not satisfied with the score of 1-0. After scoring the goal, they continued to attack fiercely, carrying out the full-court press and fierce foul tactics to the end. They were determined to knock down the morale of Florence and avenge their defeat in the league.  Arrow revenge.  At the end of the first half, Fiorentina suffered another major blow. Their main center back Dainelli was injured during a tackle and suffered a thigh muscle strain.  Dainelli's injury has a greater impact on Florence than Miccoli's injury, because there are players who can replace Miccoli on the front line. As long as Chen Yu, who scores more than one goal per game, is not injured, Florence  You don¡¯t have to worry about scoring goals. ? But there is no substitute for Dainelli.  So far this season, the reason why Florence has been able to reach the top three is mainly because of the crazy goal-scoring Chen Yu in the front, and the minimally changed back line in the back, Chiellini, Maggio, Ujfalusi and Dainelli.  , the four of them are almost as unshakable as Chen Yu.  Now that Dainelli is injured, neither Delicari nor Viari can reach Dainelli's level. Delicari and Viari came from Serie B, and Dainelli  The advantage is for Serie A, that's the difference.  During halftime, Mondonico got angry.  "You act like a bunch of cowards and you don't act like a bunch of men playing football. Where are you? This is the Stadio Franchi, this is our home ground, this is the stage where we perform, and those in the stands are ours.  Fans, but you let Roma run wild here. Do you have a fever on your face or not? Do you feel guilty? I know you are afraid of injury, but now have you seen that none of the opponents was injured, but we injured two players?  , you are injured even if you are afraid, and you are injured even if you are not afraid. This does not depend on us, but on the opponent, unless we give up this game" This was the first time that Mondonico issued a storm of severe criticism, and the locker room was silent.  , including captain Chen Yu lowered his head. Although Mondonico's authority does not have the authority of gold medal coaches like Capello, Ancelotti, and Lippi, at this time, no one dared to face his anger.  "We are only three games away from the Coppa Italia championship. This is the closest trophy to us. We still have the opportunity to win the seventh Coppa Italia championship in our history. We also have the opportunity to engrav our names in the history of Florence.  "We still have a chance to win this game." Mondonico looked at the players' expressions and found that their dull expressions were somewhat excited. He immediately called Chen Yu up, "Chen, you are the captain,  Let's talk about our problems in the first half. Do we still have hope? " Chen Yu understands what the coach means. As the captain, he mustCooperate fully with the coach.  "We played too timidly in the first half. We were intimidated by the fierce fouls committed by our opponents. We were afraid of getting injured. We were undefeated in three games against Roma before because we were fighting them. Now they are fighting us. I hope  There must be. In the second half, I think the most important thing is that we can't concede any more goals. If we concede another goal, we have to score three goals. That is very difficult as long as the backcourt guarantees not conceding goals.  Guaranteed to score in the frontcourt, Rigano, are you confident?" Rigano said: "No problem, as long as they can hold on." Mondonico said: "Did you hear that, our team leader Chen said he is guaranteed to score.  Rigano also made a promise that in the second half, we will fight hard with them and never retreat. Forget about the league. There are still more than ten games left in the league and concentrate on winning this game. "  During the game, Florence united its will to win.  They have already injured two players, and if they lose this game again, they will lose more than they gain.  No matter from which point of view, they must give it a try.  Florence let go and fought hard against Roma. Roma's advantage in the first half was gone. The two sides fought extremely fiercely. In the first ten minutes, Roma's midfielder Mancini was injured and went off. This had a big impact on Roma's morale.  Their attacking power was hit even harder, and then Fiorentina gained the upper hand in the midfield.  After the 75th minute of the tough game, the leading Roma became a little conservative. They wanted to hold on to the weak advantage of 1 goal, but at this time Fiorentina decided to give it a try.  In the RU minute of the game, Fiorentina's substitute center back Delicari made a long pass. Rigano passed the ball to Chen Yu with his chest. Chen Yu stepped in at high speed, bumped the ball with his thigh, and volleyed with his right foot. The ball was like a cannonball.  The shot hit the crossbar and bounced into the net.  Florence equalized the score, and the total score between the two sides became: tie.  The number of goals scored at home and away is the same. If the score reaches the end of 90 minutes, the two sides can only play overtime.  Roma is not afraid of playing overtime with Florence. They don't want to maintain their strength to play in the league, but Florence is eager to resolve the battle within 90 minutes.  In the remaining ten minutes or so, Fiorentina attacked with all its strength, and the Roma team was forced to counterattack defensively.  Roma's counterattack was not without threats, but their threat became greater. In the 83rd minute, Totti's direct pass gave Cassano a chance to face goalkeeper Cejas with a single goal.  This was an opportunity to kill the game, but Barry's genius thought of passing Cejas, but Cejas saved the ball at his feet.  It drew sighs of regret from countless Roma fans.  In the RU minute, De Rossi and Cassano formed a favorable two-on-two situation in the backcourt. However, when De Rossi was dribbling the ball, Obodo, who was back on defense, stabbed the ball away from behind.  Rome¡¯s two counterattacks woke up the Florentines. They knew that since they did not suppress Rome¡¯s strength, they could only retreat fifteen meters to fight Rome.  In the 90 minutes of the game, neither side scored more goals. The game was tied and the two sides entered overtime.  In overtime, Chen Yu, who was extremely physically fit, and Rigano, who came on as a substitute, became the most active players. The twin towers they formed also turned Roma's penalty area upside down.  In the first half of stoppage time, Chen Yu actually had the upper hand when competing with the 1.97-meter Delas for a header. Delas blocked his position, thinking that it would be difficult for Chen Yu to pass, but Chen Yu rushed from the penalty area.  , overpowering Dras, a powerful header broke through Roma's gate for the second time, rewriting the score as: Unwilling to admit defeat, Roma attacked.  Fiorentina gained good space to counterattack.  In the second half of stoppage time, Maresca made a through pass, and Chen Yu and Rigano formed a double-attack situation.  The faster Chen Yu dribbled the ball towards goalkeeper Perizzoli and did not shoot. To be on the safe side, he selflessly passed it to his teammate Rigano. Rigano succeeded in pushing the ball into the empty net, fulfilling his promise of scoring and falling two behind.  Roma's physical strength was also exhausted, and they were no longer able to organize a counterattack. Florence advanced to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup at the cost of two injured people.  Although Fiorentina's victory was a tragic victory, it was not without value. In another game in the same district, Udinese defeated Milan 4:1 at home, completing a great reversal and advancing to the semi-finals. Fiorentina will compete in the semi-finals.  Playing against Udinese, compared with AC Milan, Udinese is definitely a little more young. For Florence, the chance of reaching the final is greater.  In the first half of the Italian Cup quarter-finals, Inter Milan defeated Atalanta 3:0 and advanced with a total score of 4:0. Although Cagliari lost to Sampdoria 4:3 away from home, they still won 4:3.  The total score advanced, and their opponent was Inter Milan.
