There were two hours left for the beginning of the ACF Fiorentina – Real Betis Balompié of Conference League and in the stands of Artemio Franchi already sounded 'We are football'', demonstrating the more than 1,500 Betics that Manu Fajardo's words were being carried out. Without thinking about the future, just enjoying the way and encouraging each greenish player who was going out to the green of the Coscana capital to try the height of the grass and feel the heat of his.
It would be before what was described in the beginning when in Rome it came out in the Plaza de San Pedro La Fumata Blanca that designated the new Pope, the American Robert Prevost. Marked will be, without superstitions and with refutable facts Verdiblanca history with the city of the Vatican. The other fumata, the 'Verdebianca' of Real Betis Balompié was that of resilience in Artemio Franchi, to know how to endure before the assembly viola when it was stronger in the stopped ball. Same goals of the first leg with the order changed. Antony would miss the 0-1 and Abde 2-2 so that on May 28, Beticism travels again to Poland, to Wroclaw to play against Chelsea the final of the Conference League.
The whole of Manuel Pellegrini every day that passes in the season is a more made and safer team of its virtues, with an overwhelming personality so that neither the thrust of the Fiorentinos nor the environment would lead to the error.
Just two minutes they sent Raffele Palladino until Betis decided that the ball was going to be hiswith Giovani Lo Celso at the base of the play organizing the Betic game and with Fornals, Isco and Antony ahead of the Rosario and escorting Bakambu.
Like the first duels and the ball It would also be the first occasion of the heliopolitan picture with Antony Testing De Gea, to Before 10 'scary fornals With a center poisoned to the second stick that Isco did not reach and forced the Madrid goal of the Fiorentina to put the hands to divert the side.
The game's running He matched the forces again With a Betis, he was sure to have a double with Isco and Lo Celso who ended up in the defense viola. The local replica arrived against said Betic action with Moise Kean taking advantage of a previous Sabaly error. On the 20th of the Fiorentina appeared before Vieites and shot up.
It was just a warning so that in a corner followed the first of the purple was close. The Betic goal did not manage in the clearance and allowed the auction forcing Sabaly to erect as a hero under sticks and an instant later to take Marc Bartra by his side in the second instance.
Of notices to goals
Betis gave meters but did not miss arrival, even being able to advance those of Pellegrini. He could not do it in the second, but the third was the defeated. A true goat that was requested in the front caused by the magic of Giovani Lo Celso. To the goalkeeper's stick, to leave De Gea thinking about how he had entered. Antony in its purest form scoring goals With that left -handed that three years ago it cost one hundred million.
He went crazy present in all Artemio Franchi, but the greenish joy lasted only four minutes. In 34 'it would be Robin Gosens who would win the game to Johnny Cardoso within the area and finish off the Fran Vieite network.
He did not change the goal to Betis, who continued betting his arrivals to the natural talent of all the midfield jugs. With them he could do 1-2 through the American After a great ball behind Isco that ended in the crossbar.
Forgave the greeniblanco team and paid it expensive again from the corner And with Gosens again as the protagonist, winning Bartra this time the dispute in the first stick.
In the discount he could do more damage and win the fiorentina advantage in the tie. Moise Kean finished in the penalty spot only another corner and left high for centimeters. The rest, well received by Betis.
The passage through changing rooms tempered those of Manuel Pellegrini recovering control of the game at times in Antony's band, but without being sometimes resulted in danger.
Nor were the approaches of the fiorentina of greatest substance in a even duel in which Betis was going to suffer a setback with Marc Bartra's injury in the lumbar area. He put Santiago to Mendy and took advantage of the window to remove the Celso and give ABDE entrance to look for Dodo's back.
For moments Football disappeared from green and attention focused on the stand of the Ferrovia curve after causing the ultras of the Fiorentina a pitched battle Jumping even from bleachers and displacing the Betics visitors up and up. There will be sanctions for the squad viola for a vexatious behavior in which the Italian police, the Carabinieri, did not want to intervene leaving their fate to the verdiblanca fans and allowing the curve to turn the curve of the opposite name into a lawful space for the one who sees football on his back.
When the view could be recovered to the grass of Artemio Franchi and not to its stands the result followed tables with an equalized and cold encounter at times when Betis began to see space to travel and to abde perceive on the left.
In the ball stopped the Fiore and in the game the Betis
It would be Antony to generate another Betic arrival so that Isco culminated in a Chilean outline that was diverted.
He stalking He brought respect in both teams, fleeing from precipitation and elaborating with more slowness and temperance in each action. In the game stopped it was when the game rose from revolutions and the true fear in both areas came.
Again They had Manuel Pellegrini On the edge of regulatory time in an Antony recovery in which he shot and Gea took it out, as ABDE in the rejection.
In the discount it was Cédric Bakambu who had it to send Betis to the finalbut the Brazilian's sprint found the Spanish goal of the Fiore goal and not his partner's leg, whom tiredness was doing a dent.
Abde advances Betis in the extension
He won at the end of the 90 'and before the extension of the Ranieri field raffle to Isco, so the game would continue with Fiorentina and Betis located as in the second half. Sergi Altimira and Aitor Ruibal entered Pablo Fornals and Cédric Bakambu. Again, the versatility of the Betic Captain of manifesto to play 9 the extension of the semifinals of the Conference League.
The first of the extra 30 minutes was for those of Pellegrini through Natan at the exit of a corner thrown by Isco, but the auction was centered and ended in the hands of De Gea.
The next one ended at the bottom of the meshes. As in the first leg, it would be Abde Ezzalzouli who exploded the artemio franchi. Aitor Low after receiving from the back, enabled for Antony and appeared the Moroccan in the second stick to define and advance Betis again in the tie.
As the first act of the extension ended, with Betis dominating, the second began. The same protagonist, Abde, that this time he wanted to score with a satin shot that was diverted in that deserted fiery curve in works and that reduces the capacity of the Fiorentina stadium.
In 113 'Héctor Bellerín fell injured and Manuel Pellegrini took out a canterano who will give a lot to talk in the future and who has already had minutes in the first team, Pablo García.
Alcosa's Bético stole two after entering and combined with Isco on two walls to leave Malaga with everything in favor, whom the fatigue failed a bad pass and sent it to the clouds of Florence.
Pablo's dynamism infected his companions, with an even more centered Isco than a canterano defending each ball as if it were the last. Abde was also able to sentence with one that went high and another that ended in the wood to one from the end, which came agony but with Betis in the final.
How right he was Manu Fajardo This Thursday morning, This was about feelings, to go a path that has not yet endedis the final to finish off in a Betis that learns to shed his bonds and will be for the third time in Poland, this time to play with Chelsea.
For the Betics that are no longer: “Especially It's a day of feelings. In the end you can't forget where we come from. The Betics are suffering. We have gone through very fucking moments. Above all that, enjoy it 10 times more than you can enjoy. Do not forget those matches in Salamanca, in Burgos, in Palamós, the boundaries of Huelva, the banishment to Malaga. And above all also a party to remember many people who were very important in the future of the history of Betis. That today, unfortunately, they are neither here nor can they continue from home. And for all this, We are going to death in the green and they in the stands that give 200% for Betis to get the winner“.
