Chapter 240: Italian National Derby (1)
With the referee Rodo Monti's whistle, the highlight of the 13th round of the 04-05 Serie A season, Inter Milan's home match against Juventus officially began!
Roberto Mancini again started with his trusted Favali and Mihajlovic starting, with Córdoba at centre-back and Zanetti at right-back.
The midfielder finally abandoned Veron, because the formation he had at the moment required the midfielder to pass forward regularly and take advantage of the speed advantage of the forwards.
Veron barely played the ball to the Brazilian, so he had to be left out of the starting line-up.
The configuration of Inter Milan's midfield is exactly the configuration of the main group in the team confrontation in the past few days, with Davies, Stankovic and Cambiaso sitting in the midfield, and Ricardo, Ronaldo and Adriano are the three arrows, ready to go.
Ricardo's body has actually recovered a long time ago, and it was only in order to play a surprise role in this crucial game that he was pressed on the bench by Mancini.
At this moment, he is like a tiger returning to the mountains and forests, and the dragon is returning to the sea, and he feels that both his physical condition and mental state have reached the peak.
Soon after the game, he tried to dribble twice and hit a long-range shot to test his form.
The dribble was successful once, and the other was brought down by Zebina and allowed the opponent to receive a yellow card; The quality of the long shot is also very high. It can be considered in good condition.
Satisfied with this, Ricardo spent the rest of his time no longer being willful and concentrating on Mancini's tactical ideas.
Capello stood on the sidelines and watched for a few minutes, a smile welling up on his lips.
Mancini is still the same...... When you want to score, you pile up strikers. As everyone knows, whether it is offensive or defensive, success can only rely on the strength of the whole.
If the overall attack is smooth, you can score even without a striker.
If the offense is not well organized, even if you play 4 forwards, you will be X**T, and you can only score a few goals when you are lucky.
Seeing Mancini's guiding ideas for this game, Capello relieved himself and sat back in the dugout.
If Mancini is bent on defending and using Ronaldo, Adriano and Ricardo to counter-attack with their speed and personal ability, he'll feel a bit of a headache.
Since Mancini wants to play offensive football, then his soldiers will definitely teach Mancini a good lesson. What is called "offense wins fans, defense wins championships"!
Juventus today also fielded a midfield parallel position 442, which has become popular in recent years.
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon at the back, Zebina at right-back, Zambrotta at left-back. The two midfielders are Emerson and Blasi, right midfielder Camoranesi and left midfielder Nedved. Nedved will cut inside more and assist Emerson in his midfield playmaking.
The forward pairings are Ibrahimovic and Salayeta. It's not Juventus' strongest squad, but Trezeguet and Piero are both injured and can only play for fourth striker Salayeta in such an important game.
This lineup is so simple compared to Inter Milan's lineup, but it is not a small threat to Inter Milan on the field.
Juventus played slowly and leisurely on the field, constantly holding the ball with their feet and seemingly in no hurry to attack. And when Inter Milan show their flaws because they are impatient, or because they are pressing, they suddenly pick up the pace and show their sharp fangs.
Inter Milan are playing unrestrained attacking football. It's complicated to say, but the essence is to give the ball to Ronaldo, Ricardo, Adriano or any of them, and let them solve the battle!
However, given that Ronaldo has always had Cannavaro close to him, and Zebina, Thuram, and even Blasi in the midfield have also made up for it from time to time, Inter Milan has been attacking more often through the wings, handing the ball to Ricardo and Adriano.
Attacking football doesn't mean you don't have to defend, and even Ricardo and Adriano often come back to defend.
In the 10th minute, Adriano brought down Nedved when he returned to the defense, received the first yellow card from Inter Milan, and gave the opponent a free-kick in a good position.
Thankfully, Juventus' free-kick maestro Piero was injured and Nedved took the ball against the wall.
A minute later, Inter played a quality counter-attack, Stankovic sent in a through ball, and Ricardo picked up the ball and singled out Zebina.
Zebina is very experienced and does not take the initiative to stretch his feet, but just squeezes Ricardo with his body and pushes him to the outside.
Ricardo just protected the ball and didn't try to break through with the ball again. Zebina now has a yellow card on his shoulder, he has learned a lesson and will not be easily shaken off by him.
With his back to goal, Ricardo's vision noticed Ronaldo's movement and he immediately knocked the ball with his heel.
Ronaldo shook off Cannavaro for a moment and got the football, and Cannavaro immediately got close to him.
I saw Ronaldo leaning sideways and kicking the ball heavily with his right foot, as if he was going to give the ball to Adriano on the right. However, his kick turned into a smash motion, and a near-perfect Cruyff turn shook Cannavaro for a moment's hesitation.
Taking advantage of the small gap, Ronaldo suddenly accelerated, brushed past Cannavaro, and made a quick left and right dash against Thuram, who was assisting the defence.
His movements were so fast that every feint could become real at any moment, so Thuram had to eat his movements and was shaken to the point that he lost his center of gravity.
Ronaldo picked up the pace again, brushed past Thuram and struck a legged before Zambrotta's tackle.
Buffon's concentration was high, and as soon as Ronaldo raised his leg, he flew out like a spring and saved the ball steadily off the line.
The commentator commented: "Ronaldo chose to shoot himself! He's a bit alone with this ball, and he can give it to Adriano, who has an empty side. ”
But Ricardo and Adriano on the field didn't think so. They are all Ronaldo's little fans, and they think it's normal for Ronaldo to shoot by himself.
After all, Ronaldo is the best in the world.
If you don't dare to take responsibility and don't dare to shoot yourself, then you are the best in the world.
So they gave Ronaldo a round of applause, and the fans in the North Stand also applauded Ronaldo's wonderful breakthrough and shot.
Capello jumped up when Ronaldo burst in, and when Buffon hit the ball off the line, he still looked grim, with his left hand resting on his chest and his right index finger lightly tapping his chin.
Mancini's tactics are easy to crack, but Ronaldo's outburst is really unsolvable......
At this moment, he suddenly envied Mancini. It's so easy to coach a player like Ronaldo. The midfielder X**T (blind play) is enough, as long as the ball is passed to Ronaldo, Ronaldo alone can kill the game.
