No one could have imagined that the first goal would be so fast.

Less than 20 seconds after Inter had set up their first attack, the ball had rolled into Pagliuca's goal.

In those three minutes, most of Fiorentina's players had yet to touch the ball......

The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and Inter Milan first steadied their position, and after a few long passes from the back, the ball was handed to the feet of Nigerian teenager Kanu in front.

But Kanu, who is 1.97 meters tall, is obviously not as fast as Carlos, who is only 1.68 meters, in terms of reaction speed, and before he can react, he was rushed out by Xiaoka from behind him with an arrow step, and stretched out his foot in front of him to cut off the ball.

Just in case, the ball was broken with a long ball with a big foot, and the ball went directly to Batistuta, who was standing in front of the box.

It was impossible for the ball to stop, and with Barty behind Milan's defenders guarding, the Argentine god of war could only jump high and push the ball down.

So far, only two Fiorentina players have touched the ball once.

And then, the goal went in......

When Batistuta pushed the ball down, Ling Feng, who was inserted from behind, directly shook off the entanglement of Argentine defender Simeone, and without pause, pulled up his left foot to face the ball falling from the air It was a powerful volley!

Including the Fiorentina players, everyone didn't expect that Ling Feng chose to hit the goal directly with the first touch!

The ball went almost straight into the net, and Italy's international Pagliuca didn't react to the shot – not even looking back......

This man is a big loss!

If it was said that the speed of the ball was too fast, it was too late to make a save and he could only make a look back action, but on the contrary, Ling Feng's shot was too fast, and Pagliuca's vision was also blocked by the players in front of him, and he did not react until the ball flew into the goal.

For a national goalkeeper, such a situation is a great shame......

And the situation is very delicate now, when Juventus's Peruucci was injured, the competition for the Italian international fell on Pagliuca and Toldo, although Toldo conceded the fewest goals in Serie A, but it was not his credit, in terms of strength, Pagliuca is stronger than Toldo - which is why Pagliuca is now the number one goalkeeper, and Toldo is second.

But this ranking is not fixed, and Toldo has his own advantages, and the chemistry between him and two Italian centre-backs, Nesta and Cannavaro, is unmatched by Pagliuca.

On the field, in addition to their own ability, what is more important is the tacit understanding ability with the defender - and such a small difference in strength is almost negligible when it is difficult to face a few threatening shots in a game.

But at this time, Ling Feng scored such a goal that did not give Pagliuca face, and he had to make the old Maldini and the Italian fans re-understand the problem of the goalkeeper.

Because according to the matchup, once Italy knocks out hosts France in the quarter-finals, then they will have a good chance of meeting Ling Feng's dark horse China - this is a situation where both teams will finish first in the group.

In the face of Ling Feng, the most lethal player of the Chinese team, Toldo, as a teammate, undoubtedly knows the Chinese shooter better than Pagliuca - understand the movement of his feet, the signs before the shot, and so on.

In other words, once Italy meets the Chinese team, then Toldo will be much more stable in front of the goal than Pagliuca!

Because as a recognized superstar, a flash of inspiration on the field is a magic weapon to defeat the enemy, and Toldo, who is familiar with Ling Feng, can undoubtedly judge Ling Feng's movements earlier than Pagliuca.

But in the World Cup, the position of goalkeeper rarely changes, especially in key games, it must be the main goalkeeper who plays, and the second or third goalkeeper, excluding the injury of the main goalkeeper, can generally only play in inconsequential games - just like in the third and fourth place finals of the 06 World Cup, Kahn participated in his last game for the national team.

Not to mention, there is a team that will have a different goalkeeper to guard the door in several games, and the substitute goalkeeper is just a decoration in most cases.

Even Ling Feng himself didn't expect that the Italian goalkeeper candidate, who had been basically determined, would cause old Maldini to hesitate because of his own kick.

However, seeing the expression of the competitor eating turtles like this, Toldo's heart was still really ******...... Cool!

It was a smooth start for Fiorentina, but the Inter players didn't lose confidence – or rather, they were ready to be scored first.

As one of the few teams in European football today that has the strength to compete with Fiorentina, Inter Milan has also put a lot of effort into the preparation of this game, and compared to the last meeting between the two teams, Inter Milan has made a lot of adjustments in the formation.

Zamorano, who wore the No. 9 jersey but did not perform well, was put on the bench - Fei Luo reluctantly wore the number ten, historically, until the arrival of Baggio next year made Zamorano completely out of position and left, Fei Luo did not wear the No. 9 shirt - the substitute Zamorano was Nigeria's teenager Kanu, in the high ball, the 1.97 meter Kanu has more advantages.

In terms of the arrangement of midfielders, because England defender Paul • Ince was poached by the Reds Liverpool, it was Simeone who took his place in the World Cup three months later, which led to the red card of Comrade Xiaobei.

And the most important arrangement is that the Uruguayan teenager Recoba, who performed well against Fiorentina in the league last time, was placed in the position between the right midfielder and the striker!

In other words, Inter Milan played with a front three, with Recoba and Ronaldo forming the wings, while teenager Kanu was responsible for grabbing points in the middle.

In order to ensure the balance between defense and attack, Argentine teenager Zanetti was promoted from right-back to the back of the midfield, forming a double with compatriot Simeone, and in front of them was French midfielder Djokaeau.

In other words, Inter Milan are now in a 4-3-1-2 formation, and Recoba is not fully involved in the attack, counting half right winger and half right midfielder.

The arrangement of the Inter Milan coach is to hope that Recoba can break through the left side of Carlos's defense, because as we all know, Xiaoka spends a lot of energy on attack, and Recoba's personal breakthrough ability is very strong, such tactics can still play a certain role.

Sure enough, in the twelfth minute of the first half, Xiaoka's breakthrough on the left was intercepted, and Bergomi immediately sent the ball to Recoba in front with a big foot, and at this time, there was a four-on-five situation on the field.

Recoba got the ball on the right and immediately began to run forward without interference, Kanu and Ronaldo quickly inserted in the middle, Djokaef was in charge of outflanking behind him, and on the Fiorentina side, in addition to goalkeeper Toldo, Cannavaro quickly moved to the left to fill in, and the only defenders who could move were Nesta, Thuram and Vieira.

In this case, the strength of the offensive and defensive players on both sides is basically equal.

Cannavaro hopes to cut off Recoba with the first tackle, or destroy the ball, for him, as long as he can delay the opponent's attack, and buy enough time for his defenders to retreat, it is a victory, but you must know that Recoba's current skills are not as good as Ling Feng and Baggio, but they are not far behind!

And more importantly, he finally got the chance to start, and Recoba naturally had to try his best to fight.

Cannavaro is now known throughout Serie A for his fierce defence, and his tackles are quite accurate, so when the average striker faces Cannavaro's defense, he is a little scared.

But Recoba was different, he actually went straight up, and when Cannavaro fell, Recoba easily pulled the ball inward, and then flicked it out, flashing in front of the body of the main Italian central defender, and continued to break forward!

It can be said that in such a counterattack, once a defender is passed by the opponent, then the situation is dangerous, like a balance that was originally balanced, and it collapses in an instant - but for Fiorentina, the balance is still in a delicate balance.

Nesta's second tacit understanding made up for the gap left by Cannavaro, and Vieira, who had retreated to the front of the big penalty area, did not hesitate to run to the box to fill Nesta's position, and by the way, he kept an eye on Nigeria's youngster Kanu.

This moment did not hesitate to change the position, so that some experts on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud, for the time being, aside from the French defender Thuram, who has been keeping an eye on Ronaldo, Nesta, Cannavaro and Vieira, formed a perfect triangle area defense.

Claimed to be the strongest shape, claimed to be the strongest defense.

If Vieira can't help but fill the gap left by the dangling Cannavaro, he will have to chase Recoba from behind, thus wasting some time, and when unattended, Recoba can choose to cut in or cross himself, and maybe the ball has already entered the Fiorentina goal before Vieira arrives.

But Nesta made up for it differently.

Nesta is in front of a direct face-to-face defense, Recoba whether he wants to pass or want to pass, there is a possibility of being stopped, for the Inter Milan team that finally grasped a good opportunity to counterattack, this situation is not allowed, and even better, when Nesta rushed up, Kanu standing next to him was in an offside position - because Thuram, who had a very tacit understanding, also pressed up at this time, not only Kanu, but even Ronaldo was also in an offside position, So Recoba can't pass the ball.

As we all know, the straight-line distance is the shortest distance, Vieira rushed into the penalty area without stopping, in the shortest possible time, he was able to return to the most dangerous area in the center of the penalty area, and the 1.93-meter Vieira to mark the 1.97-meter-1.97 Kanu is undoubtedly much greater than Nesta in terms of success rate.

Although it was only for a few seconds, the series of tacit cooperation of Fiorentina defenders amazed many people - Fiorentina has always been known for their super attack, and several defenders in the backline are very individual and have rarely encountered some trouble.

But in this game, people saw the huge effect of these super defensive players when they were combined into a whole.

At this time, Beckenbauer, Jacques and Maldini Sr. who were watching the game all had an idea at the same time, and Inter Milan's attack was going to fail.

Because, Inter Milan, which originally had an advantage in attack and defense, has been wiped out after this rapid change of position by the opponent, and Recoba, who has the ball, will soon face the interception of Nesta in front of him, as well as the double blocking of Cannavaro, who has just gotten up behind him.

In terms of chances, Inter Milan has completely lost a favorable opportunity in this attack, and if they can cheat a corner kick next, it will be considered a success.

With this idea, there are various celebrities who are watching this game in front of the TV - because on the current field, there are a total of more than a dozen players who are going to be noticed in the World Cup, among which Ling Feng and Ronaldo need special treatment - and Maradona, who has just lit a cigar on the side, Ling Feng and others who are returning to defense at high speed on the field, and even Inter Milan's head coach Luiz•Simeone.

But there are many people who don't have this idea, and that is the attacking Inter Milan players.

With wolves in front and tigers in the back, Recoba is now in a dilemma, his teammate Kanu in the middle is already unattended, but he can't pass the ball, because he also knows that if he passes the ball without greed, the attack will fail.

The only thing that can be done now is to flash Nesta out of space before Cannavaro gets up and then crosses, so that an accurate pass can be made, and at the same time - Kanu should not be offside.
