The race in the Conference League ends. The Dupeppietta del German is not enough for viola: after 2-1 in the regulatory time the goal of Ezzalzouli is worth the final against Chelsea
It is bitter on the night of the Franchi. Fiorentina is unable to hit the third Conference League final in a row. Fight with the heart, gives everything he has and that he can. The game wins at the 2-1 regulatory time with a brace by Gosens, but condemns her the signature in the extra Moroccan Ezzalzouli who equalizes 2-2 and from there the viola no longer finds the strength. In the final against Chelsea on 28 Abreslavia there is Manuel Pellegrini’s Betis, which reaches the first European final. Forentina will have to try a miracle to hit Europe in the last three championship competitions
The pre
–
Although with a sector and a half closed, the francs presents itself beautiful. The white -green wedge with the Spanish fans is strap. The railway curve, now new Fiesole, slowly fills up leaving the last seats to the fans. Digos has forbidden choreography, which had been prepared, so there are only purple drapes and a banner that can be seen and is what people expect: “warrior spirit”.
You play
–
The teams enter the field. With imagined formations. Palladino Schierarara Dodo and external Gosens of 3-5-2, Adli must make Cataldi. Pellegrini plays his 4-2-3-1 with Sabaly and Ricardo Rodriguez Terzini. In the middle there are Cardoso and Lo Celso, in front of Isco he plays behind Bakambu with Antony and Fornals wide to look for one against one. Pellegrini is in suit, elegant Palladino, in blue dress. At the beginning nobody does the “first move”. After nine minutes the first Turusus, easy, is by Antony. Fiorentina risks with two wrong outputs of Comuzzo who is imperfect in the supports and if the offensive men of Betis triggers them is hard. At 20 ‘Adli stumbles Kean who sows panic and pulls, but tall. At 22 ‘Viola really has the opportunity to go on: Mandragora’s corner, head of Comuzzo and Sibaly rejects on the line, then again Comuzzo and saves Bartra. Immediately after Adli unfortunately loses a ball and sets Antony in motion. At 27 ‘Mandragora tries that the square with the left: bad. But two minutes later beans, not new to fouls that cause dangerous situations, puts the Celso down. Antony’s 20-22 meters punishment is masterful. He bangs on the internal pole and enters. Fourth goal in eight Conference matches for the Brazilian who has made as many of them as well in Liga. It’s a tremendous blow. But the Viola does not get upset and at 34 ‘still uses the weaknesses behind the green -and -whites, still on the inactive ball: corner of Mandragora and Gosens, who is alone, strikes very well in half a twist and draws. The francs becomes a bolt. But Betis is scary. Adli still loses the ball. He pulls lo celso, tall, then cardoso, crossbar. It is forbidden to distract themselves and grant restarts or wrong passages in the middle where Cardoso and the expert Lo Celso are two guarantees. But in 42 ‘the Viola equalizes the bill, compared to the first leg, still with Gosens. Always as a corner, but this time the extraordinary German psychologist climbs over Beltran and beats Fran Vieites. The enthusiasm is enormous and still an Adli corner fishing Kean’s head that strikes but sends the crossbar above.
Second half
–
Adli, author of a first half truly under tone, does not come out of the changing rooms. Palladino uses Richardson. Mrocchino ranks in a more central position almost to protect defense. But we work in the department to try to avoid one against one especially those of Antony on which he mounts the Guardia Ranieri. Betis earns corners, but at 10 ‘Gud could kick on the goal, but prefers to look for his partner in the area. Mistake. Pellegrini uses changes: you need fresh people. Change between the defensive plants: Mendy for Bartra and replacement from relay with Ezzalzouli instead of a good Lo Celso. Fornals goes to support Cardoso. At 16 ‘Kean escapes everyone, he goes inside and Fran Vieites closes the mirror by deviating in the corner. But it is the Moroccan as soon as he entered to sow rude between the viola by jumping Pongracic twice. Remedy Comuzzo in the corner. The game stagnates. Tutit are afraid of making mistakes. Fiorentina freezes the ball trying to find Kean who is triggered 6 ‘from the end, escapes Natan who holds him for the shirt. Kean has a shot of anger and chases him by pulling him in Voltala shirt: yellow for both. The ending becomes a testers. Fagioli also gets the admonition but to block a restart and at 43 ‘it comes out. It doesn’t take it well. Inside Folorunsho. But the gearbox is there. But at 2 ‘from the end a lightness of Richardon could cost the game. He loses the ball, Antony and De Gea starts two miracles: on the Brazilian and on the reply of Ezzalzouli. We go to the recovery of 4 minutes. The biggest danger runs De Gea who clashes with an opponent on Antony’s cross. You fear the worst, but get up. Nyberg excessively prolongs recovery, over 7 minutes. And, after 101 minutes played, we go to extra time.
It is decide
–
It starts. With Betis that makes other changes; They are five. Inside Altimira and Ruibal, outside Bakambu, who combined very little, and Fornals. Fresh forces yes, but Antony and Isco remain, those who can always solve the game for the technical expert. Palladino who, on the other hand, changed only two men, makes the two obliged substitutions after 5 ‘of the first extra but Gudmundsson and the hero Gosens are distorted. It’s up to Beltran and Parisi. But in 7 ‘Betis is deadly: Boa di Ruibal who serves Antony who fishing in the Ezzalzouli area who easily bags by drawing his third goal in the conference and complicating everything for Fiorentina. Who must look for a new comeback. Dodo still has it and pushes by forcing Fran Vieites to the corner. But the second goalkeeper of Betis also blocks the consequent header of Comuzzo. There are two minutes of recovery, but a nice ball placed inside in the area by Parisi no one manages to deviate it on goal. The last 15 ‘of Palladino hope if he plays them with two more attackers: Hungani and Zaniolo for Dodo and Pongracic. Fiorentina tries the assault and on a long ball on which the Spanish goalkeeper launches to put it out there is the clash with Folorunsho, warned. Fran Vieites remains on the ground, then recovers. Wasting time becomes a priority for the Spaniards. Who have the opportunity 5 ‘from the end of closing the race but Isco kicks badly, tall. It is more unfortunate, however, Ezzalzouli who hits the pole on the counterattack. Fiorentina no longer has it, it can no longer organize a decent attack and Betis goes to the final.
