Chapter 531: Completely Killed
"Xiao Luo breaks through with the ball on the side! Córdoba followed him closely! As vice-captain of Inter Milan, he started playing more as a full-back after Dick took over, but he has a unique role in this season's Champions League! In the semi-finals, he froze Henry in this position very well, and now is it Ronaldo's turn? However, in such a situation, it is a good option to use a player to mark the opposition's core...... Xiao Luo did not continue to break through, but passed! ”
The ball went straight to the edge of the box and Deco stepped in to volley!
Of course, it is very difficult to shoot directly into the air without stopping the ball, but Xiao Luo's pass landing point and timing are very well controlled, and Deco's shot is also quite well controlled, and the ball flying out of his feet flew directly to the bottom right corner of the goal!
Cesar reacted with agility, he turned sideways and then single-handed the ball straight out of the baseline, a corner.
Xavi whipped in a corner and the ball flew straight down the middle, Materazzi headed it through Marques, and Andres Iniesta, who followed from the periphery, met the ball with a shot that went wide of the far post.
"Three minutes into the second half, Barcelona created two good chances in a row! Compared with their tepid attack in the first half, Barcelona's attack is now much more aggressive! It seems that they want to score right away, so in this case, Barcelona will have more dangerous attacks in the next game, and Inter Milan's defense will be under more pressure? ”
Seeing that Barcelona showed a completely different offensive momentum from the first half after the second half, many commentators began to get excited, if the second half continues to attack back and forth, then this game will be more exciting!
However, the commentators who held such hopes were destined to be disappointed in the next game......
After the next Inter Milan counterattack failed, Inter Milan used a strong midfield press and a solid defense to make Barcelona completely unable to create any chances in the next attack - they could only gradually back and forth in the hope of tearing a hole, but such an attack has been proven to be basically ineffective in the first half, Inter Milan's defense is quite tough and solid, no matter how the opponent passes, it has not been able to create any chances.
This kind of defense lasted for five minutes, and in the 53rd minute, Barcelona's attack gradually improved, but it was no longer able to directly threaten Cesar's goal......
In the 53rd minute, Andres Iniesta won the ball on the flank, took a lateral step and then took a long-range shot that went wide of the far post.
In the 55th minute, Xiao Luo retreated in the middle to take the ball and then forced a breakthrough and was brought down by Córdoba, Barcelona won a direct free kick 20 meters from the goal, Xiao Luo hit Mascherano and bounced back, Xiao Luo followed and hit again, the ball deflected off the near post.
In the 58th minute, Xiao Luo finally completed a successful breakthrough on the left side, his continuous feints broke through Cordoba's defense, and then quickly broke through along the bottom line in the penalty area, but Cordoba also brought him a lot of pressure in the chase, Xiao Luo chose to pass the ball and wanted to pass directly to Larsson who received in the middle, but Cesar, who was guarding the near post, quickly fell to the ground and pushed the ball out, and Cannavaro, who returned to the defense, immediately cleared the siege!
The ball was snatched in front of Adriano by Puyol and rounded the ball down the front of the defence, and Barcelona continued to attack.
Barcelona's attack began to pick up gradually, but they still didn't have a very dangerous shot on goal, and they were not unaware of this, but they could only choose to attack at this time.
"Wright, come on, take a chance and score the third goal! Neither Puyol nor Marquis will be your opponent, take a chance, then hit the ball in and climb to the top of your game! ”
Dick kept thinking in his mind that the current situation was to see who could score in the next game - even if Barcelona were still two goals behind, but in such a stalemate game, it was often a single goal that could turn the whole situation around - in the final a year ago, Liverpool closed the gap of three goals in just six minutes!
And as far as Dick knows, in the final he knows, Barcelona also won the Champions Cup after continuous suppression of the attack, relying on two goals in five minutes!
Not only Dick is clear, but Barcelona is also aware that their attacks on both flanks are starting to become more and more violent, with Van Bronckhorst and Belletti constantly rushing up and down, which makes their backline start to become weaker, and they want to score first in the second half, preferring to take such risks.
Van Brongnorst cut in from the left, Ronaldo quickly distributed the ball to him after receiving the ball, Van Brongnorst went down and passed the ball into the box, Cesar struck in time, picked the ball off, and then launched a counterattack with a long pass, this time it was Marquis who jumped up to push the ball back, the ball fell to Xavi's feet, he quickly distributed to the right, inserted Belletti cross, was blocked by Materazzi with his body.
The Barcelona players complained that Materazzi had blocked the ball with his hand, but the referee ignored their complaints and ran quickly towards Barcelona's half, because Inter's counterattack had begun!
The ball that rolled out was got by Mascherano, Mascherano quickly passed the ball to Sneijder, Sneijder sent a pick-up pass, the ball flew to Barcelona's half, Toni jumped up and put the ball down, Adriano took two steps and distributed the ball to the right side, Figo received the ball and turned around, and then shifted to the left side with a big foot, and the follow-up Perrotta quickly took a step sideways after receiving the ball, dodged Belletti who returned to the defense, and then quickly shot with his feet!
Belletti couldn't block the shot and Valdés couldn't save the ball, but the ball grazed the near post and flew straight off the line, sending the Inter fans in the stands sighing.
"Oops, this goal didn't go in! What the hell, in the first half, we obviously had an advantage, but in the second half, they were always attacking! Charlotte couldn't help but jump and complain loudly.
"It doesn't matter, Inter Milan are in a good situation now, their defense doesn't give Barcelona any chance, as long as they can hold it, then when the game is over, the title will be Inter. And, as in this case, Inter Milan have been waiting for an opportunity to counter-attack, maybe when they will score the third goal. Andre explained to his sister, and then he secretly glanced at his uncle, and then said: "In the final two years ago, wasn't our Monaco completely defeated by the opponent's defensive counterattack......
Albert II did not say anything, in the final two years ago, Albert was only a prince at the time, he came to the scene to cheer for Monaco, but watched Monaco be beaten by Porto three goals, after Porto scored the third goal, Albert was angry and left the field, naturally there is no good memory of that game......
"Don't worry, uncle, Dick will help us win this championship!" Charlotte suddenly became confident, patted her chest and gave her uncle a package ticket.
"You're not married to Dick yet, and even if he wins the Cup, it's not Monaco'......" Albert said unhurriedly, and immediately his niece's face began to turn red.
"Hey, isn't my sister married to Dick yet? I've called him brother-in-law several times! Pierre yelled twice, and then Charlotte grabbed him and beat him violently......
When the Monaco royal family began to fight in the box, Dick also quieted down, although the counterattack just now did not score, but it proved that under the suppression of the opponent, Inter Milan is still capable of counterattacking, although the number of counterattacks is certainly not as good as the initiative to attack Barcelona, but in terms of quality and threat it is more than Barcelona!
Now the situation is clear, if Barcelona score first, then they are likely to find more hope of victory through such a goal, and if Inter Milan counterattack the first goal, then it will completely extinguish Barcelona's hopes of winning the Champions Cup!
Barcelona also understands this, but this is not a conspiracy, even if they know that there is a pit in front of them, they will grit their teeth and jump down, because jumping may still have a way to live, if they don't jump, it is a dead end!
Although Inter Milan's counterattack just now was a wake-up call, Barcelona could only continue to attack until they equalized or were completely killed by the opponent.
Xavi dropped back to get the ball and then passed it to Deco, who looked up to see the Inter defence waiting in line.
There were only four people involved in the attack just now, and no one else came up, so even if Barcelona wanted to launch a fast attack, they didn't have much chance......
Deco passed directly to Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo didn't see any chance after controlling the ball on the side, seeing his teammates running up, Xiao Luo raised his foot and passed the ball to the middle to give Deco ......
Mascherano broke the ball successfully! Xiao Luo's passing intention was somewhat obvious, and he was directly cut off by Mascherano first, and then he did not hand it over to Sneijder at the first time, but passed straight to the front by himself!
You know, Mascherano is not a pure defensive player!
The kick went straight to Adriano's feet, and Adriano, who seemed to have had no chance since the start of the second half, instantly came to his senses, and he took advantage of the situation to dial the ball to Toni, who was in front of him, and then he quickly accelerated forward.
Toney stopped Marquis behind him, then slashed the ball to Adriano, who had already burst into the Barcelona half when he received the ball, broke through the center circle arc in two big steps, and then headed towards the Barcelona penalty area!
Puyol met him head-on, Adriano forced his way forward with his own strength, and Belletti on the other side also came over to attack, and the two joined forces to finally stop Adriano before he entered the 30-meter area!
Just when the Barcelona fans were relieved, Adriano passed the ball, he directly handed it to Perrotta who was inserted on the side, and then he stepped forward, Perrotta received the ball and sent a through pass to Adriano!
Adriano had already stopped Puyol and Belletti behind him, and no one could stop him now!
In two big steps, Adriano stepped into the penalty area, and then immediately picked up his left foot and fired a powerful low shot!
Valdés had just made his attack when he saw the ball flying towards him, and by the time he fell, the ball had already flown into the corner of the goal, and then the whole stadium began to erupt in cheers and shouts like never before!
