Chapter 484: Successfully passed
Beat Fiorentina 3-1, beat Chelsea 3-1, in the league and the Champions Cup, Inter Milan have achieved a decisive victory - although Inter Milan seems to be in some ups and downs after the start of the season, but in the final analysis, they only lost to Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup, and the league and Palermo were drawn, and they won all the other league and Champions Cup games, and scored quite a lot, such a state, no one can say that they are bad!
In the face of such a menacing Inter Milan, Juventus also began to have some worries, although they started the season equally well, with two points more than Inter Milan at the beginning of the five-game winning streak, and the first two rounds of the Champions Cup also defeated Brugge and Rapid Vienna in a row, and Bayern won two consecutive victories in the group, but in the face of such a fierce Inter Milan, Juventus also did not dare to slack off at home.
Last season's 3-0 result at home to Inter Milan really made them dare not relax in any way.
Although Juventus in the first few games is also full of main players, but after all, the league has only started now, their main physical fitness is very good, Capello will not be changed at will, in this game, he still sent all his main forces, goalkeeper Buffon, Blasi as the right back, Thuram and Kovac partner in the center, left back Zambrotta, midfielders Vieira and Emerson form a strong double back, the wings are Camoranesi and Nedved, the forward partners Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic, Piero was on the bench.
Dick, on the other hand, made a tweaked midfield, with Figo, who had played a perfect game three days earlier, coming to the bench and making it just a change, with Stankovic taking his place and the rest of the players who played in the previous game.
From the very beginning of the game, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and from the first half, Inter did not fall behind, Adriano forced his way into the box in the thirteenth minute and then fell to the ground under the pressure of Zambrotta and Kovac, slow motion showed Zambrotta had a hand move, but referee Paparesta did not blow for a penalty.
Two free-kicks changed the course of the first half, in the 24th minute, Mascherano brought down Camoranesi, Nedved's free-kick went over the wall, Cesar struggled to save the ball, Trezeguet scrambled in front of Cannavaro to open the scoring for Juventus, and in the next 33rd minute, Materazzi brought down Ibrahimovic, Juventus won a free-kick in almost the same position, Nedved's free-kick went through the wall again and hit the post into the net. There was nothing Cesar could do about it.
Juventus' two-goal lead left Juventus fans ecstatic, and if they could have continued their winning streak, Juventus' advantage in the league would have been clear, but a collision just before half-time changed the situation.
Stankovic collided with Ibrahimovic after returning to the defense, both of them were injured and went off, at halftime, Dick replaced Stankovic with Figo, and Capello replaced Ibrahimovic with Piero, such two substitutions changed the situation of the whole game!
Under Figo's management, Inter Milan's attack became more and more fierce than in the first half, and Juventus had one less person who could hold the ball in the front court - Piero's state this season was really not good, although he could also hold the ball, but under the lot of running and confrontation in Inter Milan, he could not control the ball well in the front court like Ibrahimovic and become a fulcrum......
Nedved and Camoranesi need to be involved in the defense, Trezeguet is a pure opportunistic goalscorer, Piero can't hold the ball, Juventus's attack is naturally a lot less threatening!
You must know that in the first half of the game, Inter Milan also dominated the midfield, Ibrahimovic's ball relieved a lot of pressure on Juventus, and now that he is off, Inter Milan no longer has any worries!
If Capello used various methods to tie up the evil dragon of Inter Milan in the first half, then at this time, Inter Milan has broken free of the shackles little by little, and the chains tied to the evil dragon are broken inch by inch, and they begin to show their hideous minions!
In the 57th minute, Figo sent a beautiful overhead ball in the midfield, Adriano received the ball and burst into the penalty area to knock back, Toni used his physical advantage to suppress Kovac, and then swept directly against the rolling ball, the ball flew into the corner of the goal, Buffon despite making a save, still could not stop the ball into the net!
Inter Milan pull a point back!
Capello frowned, Inter Milan's momentum is now up, he quickly used up the second substitution, Lerotalie came on the field to replace Kovac, who was completely suppressed by Tony with his body, Lerotalie can also compete with Tony in physical confrontation, Kovac is not young after all, and the confrontation in the first half consumed too much physical energy, resulting in Toney's goal!
And Toney's form this season has been really good, he has scored nine goals in the league so far, and now he is far ahead of the scorers' charts, plus that goal in the Italian Super Cup, he has now scored ten goals - how long has it been since the start of the season, there are so many goals!
It's just that even if you pay attention to Tony, it is impossible to ignore Adriano, Adriano's condition is also very good, although he has only scored three goals in the league so far, but in other games Adriano has scored a lot, he has scored in two Super Cups, plus three goals in two games in the group stage of the Champions Cup, eight goals and Tony is not inferior, not to mention that in Inter Milan he is now a heavier task, in addition to scoring, breaking through with the ball to create opportunities, retreating midfielders to help organize things he has to do, To be able to score so many goals in such a situation, he is more of a threat than Toney.
Capello has a bit of a headache, Inter used to be easy to deal with, because they used to focus their attacks on a certain superstar, but now? With two super strikers up front, two top players in the midfield who can organize, and a few midfielders with strong running ability and good supporting roles, it will be too difficult for such a team to defend......
Lerotalie's play brought a new force to the Juventus backline, but in the midfield, Inter Milan continued to bypass the opponent's two backs from the side to create opportunities, Adriano continued to retreat to shock the opponent's two backs, Perrotta began to continue to forward into the penalty area to look for opportunities, after Juventus's counterattack decreased, Inter Milan's attack began to become more unscrupulous!
What made Juventus a little worse happened - Trezeguet suffered a groin strain in the front court and was replaced by Salayeta, Capello used up the third substitution in the 65th minute, and Dick was keenly aware of the opponent's panic at this time, he replaced Sneijder with Yaya Toure, and once again strengthened the impact of the midfield!
At this time, the players with strong forward ability in the midfield of Inter Milan have become two, and the Juventus back line has begun to become a little careless......
When the strong attack reached the 79th minute, Inter Milan finally seized an opportunity, substitute Figo, who was full of physical energy, forced a breakthrough through Zambrotta's defense on the right side, and after attracting Emerson to this side to defend, he decisively passed back, and Córdoba, who inserted the assist, quickly transferred the ball to the middle, Yaya Toure began to take the ball and forcibly cut forward from the middle, Vieira was forced to come up to defend Yaya Toure, but Yaya Toure quickly passed the ball to Adriano, Adriano passed straight to Tony who pulled out of the penalty area, Toney made the ball as soon as possible, Inter Milan tore open the gap at the edge of the penalty area, Adriano rushed up and picked up his left foot and shot vigorously at the edge of the box!
This shot brought Adriano's power to the fullest, and although Buffon made a judgment at the first time, the ball did not change direction after hitting his finger, but bounced upwards and quickly fell into the door of Juventus!
2-to-2! After the equaliser from two goals down last season, Inter Milan once again implemented a comeback equalizer in this game, and after being two goals down, they equalized again!
"Inter Milan's pair of strikers is really good, especially when attacking ......"
Countless commentators sighed, Juventus's defense can't be said to be bad, but the two strikers of Inter Milan have height, strength, speed, skill and cooperation, plus the support of the midfield, they snatched a point from Juventus's home stadium!
Of course, Juventus' luck was also a bit bad, the two main strikers were injured one after another, which gave Inter Milan more chances, but whether it was luck or not, the final result proved it, Inter Milan continued their unbeaten record, extending their unbeaten record to 46 games!
"I now feel that they have a good chance of catching up with AC Milan's unbeaten record......
When the final whistle blew, a commentator muttered to himself, after the away draw with Juventus, Inter Milan will not have too strong opponents next, except for Roma, if they can pass the Roma level, then the only obstacle before they set the record is AC Milan in the fifteenth round - if Inter Milan passes AC Milan again, their unbeaten record will become 55 games - they were unbeaten last season, and they did not lose in the last two rounds of the previous season, It was already unbeaten in 40 league games before, so as long as it passed these few levels, the next Reggina, Empoli, Siena, Cagliari, Treviso ...... If the team wants to stop Inter Milan from setting a new unbeaten record, I am afraid it will be difficult!
"It's okay to get a draw when you're two goals down...... I'm happy with our team getting through three big games in a row. But we're going to see AC Milan catch up now. The top three won't change much this season, all we have to do is grab points as quickly as possible in the other games and perform better against our rivals. Unbeaten record? It's still a long way off, and at least until the winter break arrives, we won't know for sure if we have a chance to break that great record. Yes, AC Milan's unbeaten record is great, but it is only by breaking greatness that we can become even greater. ”
Dick's speech at the post-match press conference was as arrogant as ever, but after passing the Juventus hurdle, many people know that it may not take too long for Inter Milan to break that record, after all, their current state, there are only a few teams that can stop them!
