Chapter 076: Dual-Core Tactics

Fabio Capello looked surprised when he saw Inter's starting line-up.

Figo and Juan Mata didn't start, which came as a surprise to him.

Figo may be old, but his vast experience in the tournament is useful in such a heavyweight bout.

Of course, what surprised him the most was that Juan Mata was on the bench, Mata played a vital role in Leon's attacking tactics, and now the whole football world is even focusing on Leon's wing-forward tactics, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Mata is the heart of Inter's attack.

Having hid Juan in a crucial title game like Juventus, why did Leon dare to do so?

With a whistle from referee Paparesta, the Meazza stadium booed the sky.

Carlos made a tackle that sent Nedved to the ground, the referee blew for a free-kick and showed Carlos a yellow card.

Leon thundered on the sidelines.

Slow motion shows why the Inter manager was so angry, Carlos tackled the ball first, but the tackle was indeed a bit big, and Nedved rolled on the ground a few times, making the tackle look extremely bad.

But, in any case, the first tackle on the ball, and not the back tackle, at most a foul, the yellow card is indeed passed.

Leang's face is pale, Carlos is the midfield barrier of Inter Milan, and it will be a great hidden danger to eat cards too early.

Damn the referee.

Leon hated it so much, it wasn't that he had persecution paranoia, it was really a match against Juventus, and he had to consider the referee's factor.

"I'm willing to bet that if it was at the Alps Stadium, it was Nedved who intercepted a tackle like Carlos, and the referee wouldn't even blow for a foul. The commentator of Radio Milan said sarcastically.

***********

Referee Paparesta's blow was just an episode in the game.

The situation on the pitch is that from the start of the game, the home team Inter Milan is in control of the game!

No one at Juventus thought that Modric would be so good today!

Today, Leon moved Modric's position forward slightly, making Modric the heart of Inter Milan's playmaker.

Behind Luka Modric are the two defenders of Carlos and Stankovic.

In such a situation, Modric put his attacking and playmaking talents to good use.

He linked Inter's backfield and frontcourt together, reorganising the attack through constant passing and movement.

And with Carlos and Stankovic in his hands, Modric played well.

Gianluigi Buffon/14-Barzaretti, 21-Kovac, 28-Cannavaro, 3-Chiellini (Blasi 89)/16-Camoranesi (Mutu 76), 8-Emerson, 4-Vieira, 11-Nedved/17-Trezeguet, 10-Ibrahimovic (Piero 70).

"Luka Modric, a beautiful pass, a through ball for David Silva, a beautiful shot, a shot that misses the post!"

"Modric...... Turn around and get rid of the pass...... Two over one!

"Luka Modric, he and Silva, beautiful, pull the ball sideways, pick the pass, Adriano!!! oh oh, oh oh!

"Luka Modric is clearly the new attacking heart of Inter Milan! he has made Inter Milan's attack incredibly fluid, Inter Milan now have the initiative, Juventus seem a little passive...... It's all thanks to Modric......"

"Luka Modric, the Croatian youngster, was in the Croatian domestic league two seasons ago, was brought to Sporting Gijón by Leon, studied with Albertini, improved a lot, and now, came to Inter Milan, has been very consistent, today, Leon let him be the core of Inter Milan's organization, he let us see his attacking talent, Inter Milan's attack was sorted out by him!

***********

Modric's active!

This gave Capello a headache.

Leon's tactics are very targeted, the presence of Carlos and Stankovic's two bodyguards has cleared the way for Modric, and Juventus wants to contain Modric, it has become not so easy!

In fact, Leon's tactics seem to be a bit monotonous, handing over all the attack to Modric, in front of the two strikers Ronaldo and Adriano, only David Silva has a midfielder, Carlos and Stankovic seem to use all their strength on defense and escort.

In this case, once Modric is restricted, then Inter Milan's midfield will be in chaos!

However, the problem is that Capello's Juventus has no way to take Modric for a while!

"Putting all of Modric's footballing talent to play in attack is a tactic that Inter Milan have not played before, but this new tactic has worked very well and the Inter players seem to be very comfortable with this tactic!

He is not wrong at all, this is the B tactic designed by Leon for Inter Milan, which is to play on Modric's talent for midfield playmaking.

Thirty-one minutes into the game, Inter Milan's attack finally paid off.

Modric sent a diagonal ball in the middle, and after McCone on the side dribbled the ball for a distance, he suddenly crossed horizontally, and after Modric received the ball, he knocked it lightly.

David Silva didn't stop the ball, his heel knocked again, and then, when Modric was seen in the box, he tried to shoot, but he poked it with his toes!

Adriano's formidable physicality worked, he squeezed Kovac alive, and then shot straight at close range!

The ball flew up and flew between Buffon's hands and into the net behind him!

***********

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaal!”

"Adriano!"

"1-0! Inter Milan take the lead!"

"A brilliant attack! Luka Modric! It was all about him, and in the end he provided the assist! Adriano had a great shot!

Leon raised his arms on the sidelines and cheered for the goal!

On the field, the players of Inter Milan excitedly celebrated the goal, and the cheers of the entire Meazza stadium shook the sky.

Capello had a gloomy face, and he knew that he had to make a change!

***********

The game resumes.

The change in Juventus was noticed, with Patrick Vieira and Emerson both coming up to deal with Modric, to be precise, Vieira was responsible for disrupting the game and interfering with Carlos and Stankovic's protection of Modric, while Emerson was dedicated to defending Modric.

In addition, Nedved will also come over to help from time to time!

Juventus' four midfielders, all but Camoranesi, are used to defend Modric!

Capello's plan is very clear, he would rather sacrifice this time not to think about attacking, but also to contain Modric first and suppress Inter Milan's offensive!

On the sidelines, when Leon saw this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Did Capello think that would be the case?!

Then he's wrong!

Inter Milan is at the heart of the organisation today with Luka Modric, and that's right!

But who told you that Inter Milan only had one core on the pitch today?!

During the time when Modric was at the core, David Silva looked a little stealthy, and more came to assist Modric, and everyone seemed to ignore David Silva's ability!

***********

Five minutes later, Inter Milan and Juventus were locked in a strangled midfield.

Modric was pestered by Emerson and he had to pass the ball back.

After Stankovic gets the ball, keep passing back!

On the sidelines, Capello finally had a smile on his face, and then in the next second, his smile froze!

McConn, who received the ball, pressed forward, attracted Nedved to come over and defend, and suddenly passed the ball horizontally!

Football is at the feet of David Silva!

The Spanish teenager pulled the ball and turned around while picking up his toes, the football jumped, he jumped up himself, dodged Balzaretti's grab, and then landed, dribbling the ball in!

In the face of Kovac's up-and-forth, David Silva made a quick stop, changed direction, and at the same time as Kovac's embarrassed tackle, Silva passed the football out!

Adriano's header swings back!

Then Ronaldo was seen behind all the defenders, he stopped the ball on his chest, and at a very small angle, the 'alien' volleyed directly!

After the football was pounced on by Buffon, it was on the inside of the post, and it rebounded and hit Buffon's back, rebounded and jumped into the net!

***********

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!”

"Ronaldo, Ronaldo, 2-0, Inter Milan take a two-goal lead!"

"What a blow! Juventus focused on Modric and David Silva stepped up again! This was a long-planned combination! Inter Milan didn't know Modric as the core of the organization in this game, and so did David Silva! Leon's tactics deceived Capello! Juventus suffered a huge blow!"

When the Inter Milan players on the field were excitedly celebrating, Capello's face was gloomy, and he looked at the Inter Milan coach's seat with annoyance, just in time to see Leon clapping triumphantly in celebration, which made Capello's angry face twitch, and he fell for the Chinese!

From the beginning of the game, David Silva looked very honest, Modric was star-studded, and from that time on, Inter Milan dug a hole for Juventus, once Juventus was seriously ill and desperate to defend Modric, Silva would take the opportunity to give Juventus a fatal blow!

***********

At the end of the first half, Inter Milan led Juventus 2-0 at home, which was a score that surprised many people, everyone knew that Juventus had to win this game, so they thought that the game would be extremely anxious, but no one thought that Inter Milan would control the rhythm at the foot from the beginning of the game, Juventus seemed very helpless and passive, the goal was penetrated twice, and it was two goals behind at halftime!

"Juventus have to figure out something, they're not in a good situation right now! They have to win this game, it's their best chance to close the gap between Inter Milan! If they lose, they're going to be away from the league title!' said Sky TV commentator Ferrari.

After fifteen minutes of halftime, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Leon has a smile on his face, he seems to be confident, Inter Milan is not only strong in attack, their defense is also extremely solid, with a two-goal lead, Inter Milan can calmly counterattack in the second half, Juventus wants to turn the tables, how can it be so easy.

In the 51st minute of the game, boos rang out again on the Meazza pitch.

Stankovic was also booked for a flying tackle on Camoranesi, but similar to Carlos's yellow card in the first half, Stankovic's yellow card was also a bit wronged, and the slow camera showed that he had tackled the ball first.

Referee Paparesta ignored the protests of the Inter Milan players and decided that Stankovic's action was a dangerous move and a foul!

"Damn!" Leon cursed in a low voice on the sidelines, he was too lazy to jump like thunder now, and there are times when you have to learn to adapt to the game against Juventus.

***********

Referee Paparesta awarded Stankovic a dangerous move, but instead of awarding a direct free-kick, he raised his hand to signal an indirect free-kick.

The Juventus players did not seem to notice the referee's gesture, with Nedved and Ibrahimovic both standing in front of the ball in the foul 28 metres from goal.

Referee Paparesta's whistle blew and Ibrahimovic picked up his right foot to kick the ball, but his foot crossed the ball and then jumped out of the way of the ball himself, and Nedved ran up and fired a shot straight at goal.

The Czech star's kick was a wonderful curling ball that went straight into the top left corner of the goal, and Inter Milan's goalkeeper Cesar couldn't save it.

As the Juventus players frantically celebrated the goal, the Inter Milan players were stunned at first, and then they all surrounded the referee to protest, and Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar held out two fingers, which he said were two kicks.

Referee Paparesta faced the protest of the Inter Milan players with a very serious expression, he showed a yellow card to the emotional Materazzi, and then pointed at Ibrahimovic, using the Swede has touched the football, so, Nedved's subsequent shot was no problem, he signaled that there was no problem with the goal, the goal was valid!

***********

"him, grandma!" Leon finally couldn't bear it anymore on the sidelines. He rushed directly at the fourth official and yelled at the fourth official, "The Swedes didn't touch the football at all! This is an indirect free kick! This goal is invalid!"

"The referee can't be mistaken!" he confirmed that Ibrahimovic had touched the football!' explained the fourth official.

"Fuck the referee, his eyes are ......" Leon was furious.

The fourth official's face turned pale, ignoring the rants of the Inter Milan manager, and he called the referee directly.

Referee Paparesta squeezed through the encirclement of Inter Milan players, ran over, glanced at the angry Leang, expressionless, and pointed in the direction of the stands.

The Inter manager was sent off in the stands.
