Chapter 171: The First Half

There was an exclamation from the stands in Meazza, mostly the cheers of Inter fans. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shen Hao sat in the press box and watched Cesar save the must-score goal and couldn't help but let out an "oops", while Chen Hui was much quieter, just recording the progress of the game on his laptop.

Benist is still very indifferent, this guy is just pretending to be calm, Zhang Shujie's attack just now made him also break out in a cold sweat, fortunately with Cesar, the Brazilian's save can be called an extraordinary performance.

Zhang Shujie covered his face, and then shook his head helplessly, the ball didn't go in, he himself felt a little incredible, but this is the case on the football field, some goals that are thought to be scored will be saved or missed by the goalkeeper, and sometimes those "chances that are not chances" may still be scored.

That's the charm of football.

Morone saw that Zhang Shujie was a little depressed, so he stepped forward and comforted: "It's okay, if you don't enter, you won't enter, don't mind too much." ”

Li Mu also walked over: "Your header just now scared them a lot." I dare say Benitez was shocked too. ”

Zhang Shujie smiled and nodded: "Let's continue the game, the corner kick is about to come out." ”

Cesar's save prevented Parma from scoring, but it also gave them a corner, but in any case, a corner is much better than a point.

Among Inter Milan's defenders, Lucio is the tallest and has a natural advantage over the ball. Marino stood on the sidelines and shouted, telling Antonelli to hurry up front to reinforce him, leaving only one Lucarelli at centre-back.

Lucio stands out in the penalty area, 1.93 meters tall even taller than many goalkeepers, such as Cesar, the Brazilian goalkeeper is "only" 1.86 meters tall.

Giovinco's ball went to the penalty area, Antonelli squeezed Lucio to fight for the top, Lucio was also squeezing him, the two didn't let anyone between each other, and finally Lucio hit the ball, but under Antonelli's interference, he was not able to push the ball out, but went into the air.

The ball fell slightly in the direction of the goal, and Cesar immediately jumped to pick up the ball, but Li Mu on the side jumped one step ahead of him, and the quick reaction Cesar doubled his fist, changing from "picking the ball" to "hitting the ball".

He and Li Mu collided together in the air, and with the advantage of both arms, Cesar knocked the ball out with both fists, but Li Mu next to him affected him a lot, although the ball was hit out, it was not too far away, and it was still in the penalty area. Parma still have a chance to continue attacking.

Of course, the Inter players tried to do everything they could to break the ball out of the penalty area, but the ball had already fallen in front of Zhang Shujie, who was probably less than nine meters away from the goal, and was facing the goal, which was really good for the striker.

Zhang Shujie picked up his left leg and shot hard, Ziwo gave up his body to gamble on the gun, but it was a little slower, and the ball was already whistling towards the goal.

This time Cesar was also magically gone, although Zhang Shujie was in the middle of the penalty area, but when he shot, he chose to kick to the lower left corner of the goal, Cesar struggled to save, and he didn't even touch the shadow of the ball.

It's time to go in now, right? Zhang Shujie thought to himself. But when the ball flew to the goal line, Samuel fell to the ground and shoveled the ball diagonally to the other side, and McCone won the scramble with Garopa and kicked the ball wide.

Two great chances in a row, destroyed by Cesar and Samuel in succession. Parma's players didn't have time to frustrate, as McCone cleared the ball and slotted the ball straight to Sato'o Eto'o's feet.

When Parma took a corner kick, most of the players went to the front, as a defender, Antonelli also rushed into the penalty area, Inter Milan's counterattack also caused Parma to be undermanned at the back, only one central defender A. Lucarelli, and the other two defenders only Patsi ran back in time. Patsy was born at centre-back, but was deployed on the wing, and he didn't cut deep forward. Antonelli, who was born at wing-back and was placed at centre-back, and right-back Zacardo are still on their way back.

The two ran back desperately, Morrone, Garopa and Giovinco also ran towards their own half, and even Li Mu and Zhang Shujie were retreating. Parma's players quickly returned to the defense, and Inter Milan's players quickly attacked the front.

Samuel Eto'o used his skills to play with A. Lucarelli, with Milito being the first to come to support, but Parma's defender Passy was also eyeing Milito. Eto'o faked a pass and deceived A. Lucarelli to block it, but Eto'o's ball did not pass, he saw that Lucarelli was fooled, and suddenly accelerated from the other side to break through with the ball, and at this moment of passing, the powerful explosiveness of the African player was fully revealed.

Lucarelli couldn't stop it, but he couldn't watch Eto'o go away, he caught up from behind, pulling his clothes and pants, but Eto'o's physical quality was so good that Lucarelli even thought of using fouls to stop him.

Although he was unable to keep the opponent down, Lucarelli's pull also forced Samuel Eto'o to slow down his progress, and most of the Parma players who were quick to return were also in place, distributed in and out of the box. At the same time, Inter Milan's players also attacked.

Samuel Eto'o doesn't want to get tangled with Lucarelli anymore, he is seven or eight metres away from the penalty area, and with his position diagonally facing the goal, there is no problem in protecting the ball on his own, but doing so will inevitably waste unnecessary time and delay the team's attacking opportunities. With his team-mates already in place at all positions, Eto'o glanced around the box and lifted the ball into the box.

Antonelli was closest to the ball and went to the top first, but he saw the ball fly over his head and fly to the back post, where Milito appeared and struck the goal!

The ball hit Zaccardo's foot and was blocked behind Milito, Cambiaso received the ball on the edge of the penalty area, hesitated, did not shoot, and crossed to Sneijder. Sneijder is at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and anyone here can pass and shoot, not to mention that this person is still Sneijder, who has good long-range shooting skills.

Gallopa was ready to block his long-range shot. But Sneijder didn't shoot, and with a flick of his foot, the ball rolled past Gallopa's feet and between Patsy's legs into a no-man's land.

It was a big hole in Parma's backline! Everyone was attracted by Milito and Sneijder with the ball, but they ignored such a dangerous spot in the corner of the six-yard box.

Eto'o is out!

Mirante pounced!

In the second confrontation between the two, Eto'o finally emerged victorious. Mirante had already swooped to the canvas but Eto'o sent the ball under his body and into the back of the net before he went down.

It was Samuel Eto'o, his 10th league goal of the season, and it gave Inter a 1-0 home lead over Parma. The game went into the 28th minute, and the mighty Inter Milan finally took the lead!"

The announcer at the scene loudly announced Samuel Eto'o's goal and the score of the game, and louder than him were the Inter fans in the stand.

Singing, fireworks, cheers...... All from Inter fans. Almost at the same moment, the big LCD screen next to the Maya table appeared with the report of another match: Sampdoria 1:0ac Milan, the scorer was Cassano, and the time of the goal was 28′56"!

Seeing such a scoreline, the cheers of the Inter Milan fans were even more enthusiastic. AC Milan are league leaders, with Inter Milan temporarily relegated to second place with six points less. At the moment, the Rossoneri are behind away from home, and Inter Milan are bitter rivals in the same city, and it is strange that their fans are unhappy.

Samuel Eto'o was excited to gather around with his team-mates to celebrate the goal, and Benist stepped out of the dugout and clapped his hands softly, acknowledging the performance of his players. Marino sat quietly in the coach's seat, frowning.

Parma kicks off in the centre circle and the game resumes. After taking the lead, Inter Milan slowly showed the true colors of a strong team, and when Li Mu passed the ball back to Giovinco, he was cut off by Milito stepping forward. Li Mu saw that he had made a mistake in passing, so he immediately posted it and wanted to snatch the ball back.

Milito had no teammates around him, so he had to protect the ball by himself, but Li Mu, who followed up, forced him too hard, and Giovinco was also next to assist him, Milito couldn't protect the ball, so he chose to bring it back, only to take a step away, and Li Mu and Giovinco teamed up to snatch the ball, and Parma regained possession.

Giovinco passed back to Gallopa, who in turn gave it to Morrone, and Inter's midfielder was already pressing, and Morrone passed the ball to the back for Zaccardo. The players need to stabilize the situation at this time, and rushing to attack in front of Inter Milan will only suffer the consequences.

Parma were given more time on the ball during this period, but such stats were just a sign as the ball was mostly at the back and rarely crossed the halfway line. On several occasions, he was forced by the Inter Milan players in the vicinity to be unable to do anything, and passed it back. Even so, they conceded twice and were thankful that Inter did not rush to return the ball to increase possession, attacking on the spot after a break in midfield, which was only then won back by Parma.

However, it wasn't always that good luck, as Parsi was intercepted by Zanetti on a pass to Limu, who shifted the ball to the right and assisted Zivo received the ball and gave it to Cambiaso before Morrone could press it.

The ball returned to Inter's half, Zhang Shujie retreated a little, Cambiaso was not far from him, and when he was about to press, Cambiaso transferred the ball away.

Inter Milan attacked, but Parma's defence had already shrunk and shrunk deeply, with Zhang Shujie and Li Mu both moving back and forth near the halfway line. Inter Milan couldn't get the ball in for a while, so they fell in midfield.

The game went to the thirty-fifth minute, since the last goal, neither team had another shot on goal in the past seven or eight minutes, Parma was mostly defensive, there was no chance to attack, Inter Milan was looking for opportunities.

The ball was at Sneijder's feet again, and Parma's players had some scruples about the Dutch midfielder, who had been extremely good in the South African world to reach the final. In the Netherlands' 2-1 win over Brazil, Sneijder scored twice to send the mighty Samba Army home early.

Samuel Eto'o's goal in this game also came from an assist from Sneijder, who is at the peak of his career at the age of 26.

Morrone couldn't keep out his pass and Milito cut in at high speed under Eto'o's cover and volleyed over the crossbar from the edge of the box.

Parma's goal kick was driven into midfield and Zanetti had the upper hand in the scramble with Gallopa, but his header found its way to Morrone. Morrone wanted to give the ball to Zhang Shujie, but when he saw that he couldn't pass it, he turned his mind to Giovinco, but he still couldn't pass it, so he had to hand it over to Gallopa.

Gallopa gave Li Mu, Zanetti stopped a kick, the ball was broken, and rolled to Giovinco, Giovinco made a clever pass, looking for Bodinov in front, but was pushed back by the tall Lucio, Bodinov was not tall, and he seemed to have no advantage next to Lucio.

In the first half, Bodinov didn't have many chances, there were no bright spots, and Marino was considering whether to replace him in the second half.

Inter Milan's long pass was wrong, Zivo ran too far forward when he was in position, and did not receive the ball from Zanetti, and after Morrone successfully intercepted it, he also used a long pass to Li Mu.

McConn went up to defend, Li Mu shook a shot with his left foot, plucked the ball with his right foot, McConn bullied and pressed up, his body was close to him, Li Mu pulled the ball on the soles of his feet and then turned around, knocked the ball to Giovinco with his heel, and he no longer cared about McConn, and ran to the penalty area.

Giovinco passed an overhead ball and hit McConn behind him, and it was a beautiful one-two. The ball fell to Li Mu's feet again. At this time, he had just entered the penalty area, and the ball was just in front of him, McCone was chasing back, Li Muke would not wait for him, and shot directly with his left foot.

The power was great, but the angle was a little right, and Cesar slapped both palms, and the ball bounced to the ground, and then he grabbed it tightly in his hand.

It was the forty-second minute of the game, and Li Mu's shot didn't go in. Cesar gave the ball to his teammates, and now Inter Milan slowed down the attacking tempo a little, patiently controlled the ball, and stabilized the situation. Anyway, now that the score is ahead, there is no need to rush the remaining two or three minutes.

Parma was very careful in defense, for fear that a careless attack would be won by Inter Milan. In the 44th minute, Sneijder's long-range shot from outside the box was saved by Mirante, Milito followed up to make up for it, and was kicked out of the box by A. Lucarelli.

The fourth referee raised the LCD card for one minute of injury time, and there were no malicious fouls between the two sides in the first half, and the stoppage time would not be too long. Towards the end of stoppage time, it was Sneijder's shot from the edge of the box again, but this time he didn't press the power and the ball went off the line like a rocket.

Mirante took a goal kick, the ball flew in the air and the referee's whistle sounded, and the first half was over.
