Twin goals of
Fiorentina returned to play in the UEFA Cup after last year’s semifinal lost against Rangers FC. Cesare Prandelli on the big points when Adrian Mutu (three last Sunday against Genoa CFC), in attack with the “twin” Alberto Gilardino and Franco Semioli, decentralized by that part right. Van Basten, the midfield with the absence of epic proportions, puts on display the jewel Miralem Sulejman, alongside Luis Suarez and Kennedy.
Mutu inspired
Partono better hosts: to 2 ‘triangulation between Gilardino and Mutu, leads to the conclusion that the latter called Maarten Stekelenburg in the first speech of the evening. Romanian seems largely evening, and four minutes later, only the flag of guardalinee destroys what would have been the goal of the benefit of purple. The launch is in great difficulty, the accomplice of asphyxiating pressing Fiorentina, logical response to the qualities of the Dutch in terms of go.
Viola dangerous
At 16 ‘, the hosts have a great chance to move ahead: the inclusion of Riccardo Montolivo is perfect but the midfielder, having jumped onto the goalkeeper Stekelenburg, not the mirror port. Ajax does everything to stifle the manipulation of the purple, however, can be dangerous to 28 ‘, when Massimo Gobbi, from inside the area, to free Mutu shot, too weak and Central Asia. Stekelenburg and blocks thanks to the ground.
Thrill for Frey
The first shot on goal of Dutch frightening the supporters of the curve Fiesole: Suárez, claims, forcing Sébastien Frey refused to spar with. On the structure of the front, too Gilardino Strozza the diagonal, which ends at the side. Ajax, except for a few counterattack, it is there that wait, Fiorentina made the game and, at the end of the first portion, the blow head Alessandro Gamberini not scare the number one Dutch.
Early changes
The recovery begins with the accident Gregory van der Wiel, remained grounded after a clash of the game: the defender in the fall after a few minutes. While Oleguer Presas, trying to anticipate Gilardino, close the own goal. Good for Spanish Stekelenburg who has the reflexes. Prandelli change: outside Gobbi and Semioli, Stevan Jovetić inside and Zdravko Kuzmanovic. Van Basten, however, draws on the bench Sulejman: in its place, the Brazilian Leonardo.
Kennedy unlocks
Almost surprisingly, a quarter of an hour comes the cold shower for Fiorentina: Urby Emanuelson defends the ball well, before going from side to Kennedy, who has more time to settle the ball and direct it under the crossbar of a gate Frey unnecessarily tuffo prosthesis. La Fiorentina, I feel purple, tentatively, to react, even if the defense dell’Ajax gives the impression of not suffering too much the attitude of unscrupulous landlords. Gilardino, it must be said, brings us his, sull’assist the kiss of Mutu. The former AC Milan striker incespica the ball a few yards from Stekelenburg.
Purple with rage
Wastes also Kuzmanovic, assist on the heels of Gilardino. Fiorentina is poured forward, but the Ajax to go close to doubling that with Suárez, direct from free kick, forcing Frey to dismissed by the feet. The duel is repeated, with the attackers who, this time, does not find the door in diagonal. Fiorentina are up against the wall erected by the launch, and is forced to act as a spectator to the joy of the Dutch.
