Chapter 847: The First Boo
Inter starting line-up: goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon; defenders Zanetti, Stam, Materazzi, Grosso; midfielders Zheng Zhi, Cambiaso, Dalma; Forwards Ronaldo, Adriano, Robben
Ajax's side; Steklenburg, Trabelsi, Garrasco, Zivo, Van der Meyde, Maxville, Passaren, Litmanen, Van Damey, Scola, Ibrahimovic. Zheng Zhi is familiar with many players, such as Bully, Van der Meyde, Maxwell, Litmaning, Ibrahimovic......
The two sides have only met once in European competitions, with Cruyff's two goals in the 1972 final helping Ajax defend their title. In the domestic league, both teams have won both teams, but Ajax's form seems to be more impressive, with Inter Milan winning all of them but scoring few goals.
After the start of the game, the pace of the pitch was fast, the two sides defended very tightly, Ajax appeared to be in better shape, more fluid and more purposeful than Inter Milan, and their counter-attacking speed made them unguardable.
Ibrahimovic, Ajax's number one threat, was immediately guarded as soon as he came up, and Zheng Zhi was protecting him in front.
In the first 10 minutes, it was basically Ajax who dominated the opposition and suppressed Inter Milan. However, Inter Milan's defense at the back was very well organized, and Ajax did not get any decent chances, but the performance of Ronaldo and Robben was not ideal, but Ajax's two wingers performed better.
"Alger, Cristiano,"
"Don't be beaten by them!"
Zheng Zhi can only continue to motivate Robben and Xiao Xiaoluo.
"Run!"
"We need more running!"
"When attacking, you must be resolute in the plug!"
Relatively speaking, Inter Milan's midfield coordination is not tacit enough, and can only be compensated for by more running.
In the 16th minute, Ajax had their first chance to score, when winger Scola headed in before Grosso at the front post and Buffon comfortably got the ball on the line. Inter Milan immediately played a quick counterattack, but the little Rozi failed to break through on the right side, the ball was cut off by the opponent's left-back, but was instigated by Litmanen counterattack, the ball was handed to the feet of the Swedish striker Ibrahimovic on the side, who strode past Zanetti from the left rib, and then immediately shot hard!
The shot was so sudden that Materazzi in the middle couldn't come up to block it, but fortunately Buffon was focused enough to seal the ball off the line.
The corner kick was taken, Materazzi and Stam tightly clamped Ibrahimovic, so that the Swedes could not move, the ball was pushed out by Zheng Zhi in the penalty area, Robben quickly rushed to the middle to get the ball, and then played a quick counterattack with Xiao Xiao Luo, the two of them hit the wall in a row, and advanced to the front of the Ajax penalty area with a devastating momentum, and finally the ball was played by Xiao Xiao Luo to Adriano, Adriano volleyed with his left foot into the near corner, but unfortunately the ball was slightly off the post.
Zheng Zhi made more runs to connect the team and gradually stabilized the situation.
Five minutes later, Stekelenberg was thrown away by Zheng Zhi with a bulltail because he was running with Zheng Zhi, and as a result, he strained his left thigh and was replaced by Timmer. At the same time, Van der Meyde also brought down Zheng Zhi and gave Inter Milan a chance to take a set-piece in front, but Zheng Zhi's free-kick hit the wall and flew off the line.
Zheng Zhi continued to take the corner, but the ball was actually pushed out by Ibrahimovic who returned to the defense, and it looked like Inter Milan would not have air superiority.
At the beginning of the 25th minute, Inter Milan began to control the situation, but there were many passing errors in the frontcourt, and Xiao Xiao Luo and Robben were more often single-handed, and it was difficult to break through the Ajax defense.
But both sides defended well and the game was in a scorching state.
Until the 36th minute, Ibrahimovic leaned on Materazzi and Stam at the top of the arc of the Inter Milan penalty area, and then pulled his heel in a dashing manner, and actually opened the bag of two people, and then turned to hit the goal with his left foot, but Buffon's performance was still as steady as a dog, and he held the ball firmly in his arms.
Then Inter Milan played a quick counterattack, Zheng Zhi split the left side, Robben broke through on the left and was brought down by defender Trabelsi, Inter Milan got another chance to take a set-piece in front, Zheng Zhi picked a free kick into the box, Adriano fell under the defense of his compatriot Maxwell, but the referee signaled the game to continue.
Returning to defense in slow motion, Maxwell appeared to be suspected of a foul.
While the Inter players were still trying to fight for penalties, it was Ajax's turn to play a quick counter-attack. Litmanen unleashed a long ball and Ibrahimovic nodded it in front of him, but the ball fell to the back post and Maxwell volleyed wide from 16 yards.
2 minutes later, Inter Milan also colored, Zheng Zhi sent a ball over the top in the middle, Adriano actually headed directly in front of Ajax's penalty area, but unfortunately it was also missed.
Then Xiao Xiaoluo also had a chance, Zheng Zhi's through ball was handed to his feet, he wanted to eat the opponent raw, but the ball was too big and went directly out of the bottom line......
In the end, at the end of the first half, the two sides fought 0-0 and neither was able to score.
sigh
sigh
Sigh.
Boos rang out at the Meazza Stadium?! It's harsh anyway.
"Did I hear me wrong?"
Zheng Zhi frowned when he left the field, pricked up his ears, and then asked Dalma beside him.
"That's right,"
"It's boo,"
"The fans are booing us, they're definitely booing us."
Dalma nodded.
"It's too much."
"We played well, but there's no need to boo us, right?"
Dalma has emotions.
Zheng Zhi also had it, he licked his lips, didn't say anything, and walked into the locker room with his head down. More than two years after joining Inter Milan, I heard boos for the first time.
Perhaps, the fans are used to the beautiful Inter Milan, at this time, it was basically a goal or two ahead, now it is 0:0.
But that doesn't mean you can boo us, don't?
Didn't we do our best?
Didn't Little Luo and Robben do their best? It's all spelled.
In the dressing room, Mourinho's face is not good-looking. The tactics have been laid out, what can I do if I don't get a goal?
'At least we defended well, didn't let them score and didn't give them any chances.
'All we need to do now is calmly look for chances to score.
He is still mainly encouraging.
But if it goes on like this, it seems that there will only be a change of formation......
