Chapter 191: Horse Performance

Marchisio did not celebrate after the previous performance, which is a sign of respect for his old club.

However, in his heart he is desperate to have more good performances in this game, eager to score again!

He wants to show Juventus, it was wrong not to pay attention to him back then!

This kind of thinking is normal when players face their old clubs, especially those players who have not met in the old club, and they will be especially energetic in the game.

In Luka Modric's absence, Juan Mata was responsible for taking direct free-kicks, which he had scored from previous matches.

The Juventus people obviously knew about this, so when they saw Mata standing in front of the ball, the Juventus wall immediately became vigilant and nervous.

Buffon was also shouting loudly, directing his teammates on how to line up the wall.

Marchisio was standing three or four meters away from Mata, but no one cared about him.

Although Marchisio has scored a long-range goal before, this does not mean that Marchisio is also good at free kicks, there is still a difference between long-range shots and direct free kicks, and some of the long-range goals are blindfolded, maybe the goal just now is Marchisi's Olympic spirit, or it happens that the foot wind is more smooth.

Anyway, no one thinks that Marchisio will take the penalty and think that Juan Mata will be the penalty taker.

Now, seeing Marchisio standing there, the Juventus people think that maybe Marchisio wants to cover for Mata, but this is not necessary at all, everyone knows that Mata is the first penalty taker, and it will be Juan Mata who takes the penalty!

Of course, if you think about it a little deeper, he will at best stand there just in case, and if Mata's free-kick hits the wall, Marchisio can counter-attack on the spot to stop a second attack. Or rather, it's very likely, and that's what Marchisio intended.

***********

Mata was like a precedent and saw that he placed the football very seriously at the penalty spot designated by the referee, just a little outside the line of the big penalty area!

Suffice it to say, Nedved's tackle was decisive, and if it was a little slower by half a beat, it would be in the box, it would be a penalty!

This position makes the Juventus people feel afraid: it was almost a penalty!

Similarly, it also makes Inter Milaners feel very regretful and unhappy: it was almost a penalty!

"Free kick on the line of the penalty area...... It's not a good position to play, and it's very uncomfortable for a player who takes a free throw. It takes better technique to play here, and if you have a little more force, you will fly over the wall and into the stands, but if you don't have a lot of power, you won't be able to cross the wall, you will be blocked by the wall!

"In this position, it is very difficult for Mata to go directly around the wall and pose a threat to Buffon. Rossi also said that he obviously doesn't think it's a good scoring opportunity for Inter either.

Juan Mata stood in front of the ball, staring at goal, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he was having a headache and thinking about how to play the ball.

Eventually, Mata looked at the goal again and aimed at the top right corner of the goal, then immediately withdrew his gaze. Immediately, Mata took a few steps back and prepared to kick the ball.

The glance that Mata had just glanced at the top right corner of the goal was caught by Nedved in the wall, and he immediately whispered to the other players in the wall to remind everyone to listen to his command to jump, and at the same time Nedved put one hand behind him, pointed to his left side, reminded Buffon, and then quickly withdrew that hand, blocking the lower abdomen with both hands in front of the vital parts.

***********

Marchisio was standing three or four meters away from the football, looking at the penalty area.

Due to the need to defend this free kick, the locals in the penalty area mainly concentrated on the human wall, in order to block the goal as much as possible and share the pressure for the goalkeeper. This time Juventus had six people lined up in the human wall, which almost blocked half of the goal.

Gianluigi Buffon is also a big enemy, with a large number of people on the wall, which can help him build up his defensive area and block football, but it can also affect his vision and cause adverse effects.

Fortunately, he received Nedved's code, and he had a basis for judgment in his heart.

At the same time, Inter's players were also battling with their opponents, with Milito and Burdisso trying to squeeze into the wall several times to interfere with Juventus' walls, but they were pushed out by the vigilant Juventus.

Bourdisso simply stood directly in front of the wall, while Diego Milito stood on the edge of the wall, but he was very close to Chiellini, and the two of them pulled and tugged.

This, of course, caused dissatisfaction among the Juventus, and the two sides pulled and pulled.

Piero saw the situation and protested to the referee against Inter Milan's interference with their wall.

The referee had to signal Mata, who was 'ready' to take the penalty, to be calm, he ran in to mediate the conflict between the two sides, warning the cunning Inter Milaners not to stand in front of the human wall, it is not impossible to line up on the side, but do not have small actions to interfere with the Juventus players, and also warn the Juventus players, almost enough, don't get started, don't push people, don't have quarrels, in short, give me honesty!

After such a toss, Inter Milan managed to squeeze a person into Juventus's human wall. Burdisso successfully stuck between Chiellini and Griguera, although the Juventus players were very unhappy with this, but the referee warned again and again, the opponent had successfully squeezed in at this time, so there was nothing to do about him.

However, it also reminded Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to be careful where Burdisso stands, and to be careful of the possibility that Mata could kick the ball through the space that may occur here: when Mata throws a penalty, Brudisso may run away or even lie down forward, giving up this space for Mata to shoot!

***********

"There's a lot of competition between the two sides over the human wall. Ferrari said, "A free kick is so fiercely contested!"

"How do you guess Juan Mata will kick this ball?" Rossi asked his partner.

After such a fuss from the Inter Milan players, everyone focused on a direct free kick. Not only the commentator Rossi thinks Mata will shoot straight at goal, but the Juventus players even think so, and even other Inter Milan players take it for granted that Mata will shoot straight at goal, except for Marchisio who knows the truth.

The referee walked backwards away, his cold eyes warning both players to be honest and send the set-piece out quickly.

In the human wall, although Burdisso and Chiellini are secretly squeezing each other, the referee turns a blind eye to such a level of confrontation, he knows that it is impossible to make these players honest!

The referee then stood still, looked at Mata and signalled that Mata was ready to kick.

***********

From the moment Mata started to run, the Juventus team's human wall began to tense, and while they used their hands to protect their crotch, they vigilantly 'pricked up' their ears, waiting for Nedved's order in the human wall: one player must give the command to take off and jump in unison, which can avoid the inconsistency of the jump to the greatest extent, resulting in a hole in the human wall.

"One!"

Finally, Mata rushed to the ball and picked up his left foot.

"Two!"

Juan Mata's left foot is about to make contact with the football!

"Jump!" shouted Nedved in a deep voice.

Juventus' human wall jumps neatly!

Then, people were surprised to find that Mata did not shoot directly at goal, but passed the ball sideways with his left foot!

"It's ...... Marchisio !!"

Whether it was the commentator of Inter Milan or the commentator of Juventus TV, they all screamed.

As the ball rolls, the former Juventus youth captain, who has been 'forgotten' and 'ignored', appears in the camera, already running, bending his bow and ready to shoot......

“…… It's not Mata, it's Marchisio, he shoots from distance---- Oo!!!oo

***********

Marchisio hit the ball with his right foot and he chose to push it down, trying to keep the ball on the ground and maintain his speed!

One sticks to the earth!

The soccer ball is extremely fast, rolling against the turf!

Sweep towards the bottom left corner of the goal!

No one reacted to this sudden change.

The walls of people who had already jumped were all stunned and watched Marchisio's soccer ball pass under their feet!

Buffon pounced on his left side.

He saw Mata's running posture and made a prediction in response to Nedved's hints!

However, the ball flew to the other side of the goal on the turf, and he pounced on the ball in the opposite direction!

It's a double insurance!

Even if Buffon didn't get on Mata's eyes and pounced in the right direction, it was difficult to save in the face of the real shooter Marchisio's close to the ground!

Buffon, who had already thrown his body out and pounced on his upper left corner, turned his head in shock in the air to see the ball quickly pass through the turf and roll into the goal from the bottom right corner......

***********

"Huh?" was Ferrari's first reaction as the commentator did, and then he saw the shaking of the net and the football in the goal.

"This is Marchisio——!"

“!”

"Nice long-range shot! It was Marchisio who scored the goal, a ball close to the ground, a very fast boccia, they are now two goals ahead of Juventus!"

"Perfect set-piece combination! It's a set-piece combination between Marchisio and Juta! The Juventus people are deceived! Their wall is deceived and Gianluigi Buffon is fooled!

"I'm afraid that even the rest of the Inter Milan players didn't expect Marchisio to shoot at goal, let alone choose to hit the ground! The sparks of the two young men collided! 2-0! Inter Milan led Juventus by two goals!" Rossi shouted.

"A fatal blow to Juventus! they are now two goals down, and against Leon's team at the Meazza Stadium, two goals down, it's too difficult to turn the tables around!"

"Marchisio, his second goal of the day, a brace against his old club Juventus, he was the biggest star of the first half!"

***********

Marchisio was so excited after the goal that he wanted to yell and tell the world how good Juventus was!

However, in the end, he still did not make a celebratory gesture, but the expression of excitement on his face was still obvious.

Then, Marchisio was hugged by Mata, who pounced on him.

Then more teammates rushed up to surround the two of them and celebrate the goal.

It was a timely goal, extending the lead to two goals before the end of the first half, which was a huge blow to the morale and morale of the Juventus team.

With Inter Milan's current form, at the Meazza Stadium, they have never been overturned with a two-goal lead, and I believe that the Juventus people also know this, which will become a great psychological burden for them!

Inter Milan's bench is also jubilant, leading by two goals before the end of the first half, although there is still a second half of the game, but the balance of victory has been seriously tilted on the side of Inter Milan, they won this game, even a big victory is in sight, and if this game finally succeeds in beating Juventus, then, even if it is a second leg away from home, however, they are confident that Juventus will not be given a chance to turn around in the second leg, and they will advance to the semi-finals more smoothly.

***********

Leon applauded on the sidelines, cheering on the goal.

This time he was a little excited, not because he scored again, but because of the process and the way he scored, and the tacit understanding and chemistry of the two players in this set-piece process made him happy.

This cooperation was not arranged by Li Ang, it was discussed by the players themselves on the pitch on an ad hoc basis, which will not be angry, but only gratifying.

Inter Milan were celebrating, while the Juventus people couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Conceding another goal before the end of the first half was a huge blow for them.

There is a huge difference between being one goal behind and two goals behind at the end of the half, especially when they are against Inter Milan, who have beaten them repeatedly, and the feeling of frustration, confusion and blow is even stronger.

The Italian TV director who broadcast the game live was very interesting, he first gave a close-up of Marchisio, who was surrounded by his teammates to celebrate the goal, and then gave the camera to Juventus manager Marotta in the stands, and the language of the camera was very meaningful......

"In the summer of 2005, Leon got Marchisio from Juventus without spending a penny, the captain of the Juventus youth team was obviously not valued by Juventus, Leon has a good eye, and now, after nearly three seasons of progress, Marchisio has really grown, he scored twice in the first half of the game against his old club Juventus, I don't know what it feels like to see this scene, Mr. Marotta in the stands at this moment......" Ferrari's voice sounded on the TV.

"The captain of the youth team of his own team, the young man he cultivated, stabbed him twice...... This is a bit cruel for Juventus fans. Rosie shook her head and said.

Then, the camera switched again, giving a close-up of Leon in the coach's box of Inter Milan, as if to say: This is the guy who made all this!
