Chapter 329: Falling Short

Capello had wanted to make some personnel changes, but the goal rekindled his hopes and he was not in a hurry to make adjustments.

But there are always more surprises on the pitch than planned.

Inter restarted the ball and fell to the back, Juventus pressed in front, and Nedved broke the ball and handed it to Ibrahimovic who was moving forward at high speed.

As soon as Ibrahimovic got the ball, Samoel saw that the situation was not good, and chased after him and kicked Ibrahimovic from behind with a dangerous stampede.

Ibrahimovic rolled on the ground in agony and Paparesta ran over to show Samoel a yellow card. Samuel did not protest and retreated silently. To tell the truth, it is not an exaggeration to give him a red card for this action just now. Paparesta is already merciful.

Juventus' team doctor carried Ibrahimovic off the pitch for a check-up, but unfortunately Ibrahimovic was no longer able to continue the game.

In the 68th minute, Capello had to make a substitution, and the zebra prince Piero came on.

Piero hit a good ball just after he came on the pitch. Camoranesi and Nedved picked up crosses in quick succession and then handed the ball to the right, where Piero cut inside the box and fired a left-footed shot that Cesar jumped up to shoot the ball out.

Samoel cleared the ball with a big foot, Stankovic stopped the ball and turned around, took a look, and found Ricardo with a long pass over the top, and Inter counterattacked.

Ricardo ran a few steps at high speed with the ball, and in the face of Barzaretti, he began to pedal. Make a gesture to cut inside to the right, then suddenly move the ball to the left and kick the ground with your right foot to overtake. Barzaretti hurriedly kicked his foot, but was already a beat slower, did not touch the football, and just kicked on Ricardo's right foot.

A sharp stabbing pain came from Ricardo's right ankle, and he lost his balance and fell in embarrassment.

Paparesta ran over and showed Barzaretti a yellow card, leaned over to look at a grinning Ricardo in pain, and then turned to signal Inter Milan's team doctor to come on.

"Does it hurt?"

"So what?"

"He can't play anymore."

Mancini reluctantly comforted Ricardo and immediately replaced. Keeley. Gonzalez plays.

In the 71st minute, Mancini made a substitution. Gonzalez was replaced. The most dangerous strikers on both sides have gone off injured," said the commentator, "and the intensity of the game was no less intense than any previous Italian derby. Now that the core players of both sides are no longer on the field, there will definitely be a change in the style of play. ”

Compared to Ricardo, Killy. Gonzalez is not as good as he is on the offensive end, but he is full of energy, aggressive defensively, and has much better defensive skills than Ricardo.

After he came on, the position was dropped, Figo on the right also retreated, and Inter Milan actually played 451, leaving Adriano alone in the front.

Inter Milan defended heavily and Juventus' highest point, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, left only one Trezeguet, and the threat was greatly reduced.

In the 73rd minute, Inter Milan counterattacked, and Figo's cross was blocked by Chiellini. Figo himself took the corner, he drove the ball into the box and played into the middle, Samuel forced Vieira to head the goal, the ball was too close for Buffon to react to, and the ball flew smoothly into the bottom right corner.

"Samuel Goal! In the 73rd minute of the game, Samuel scored with a corner kick, and Inter Milan once again extended the score advantage! Oh, the goal was nullified," the commentator quickly changed his words, "and the referee Paparesta signaled that the goal was nullified, and he thought that Samoel had fouled him. Let's take a look at slow-motion replays. ”

"This ball...... The blow was a little reluctant, Samoel didn't make a significant pressing move, his hand didn't exert force, he just raised his hand when he jumped. ”

The players of Inter Milan were agitated and appealed around Paparesta, but Paparesta was unmoved and gave the most fierce Kieli. Gonzalez is booked.

Mancini looked furious on the sidelines, both at the referee's decision and at the impulsiveness of his players. He yelled at the players to step down and stop clashing with the referee.

After this little episode, the situation on the field was deadlocked again.

Piero the Bianconeri are no longer as brave as he once was, unable to disrupt the opposition defence alone, and can only threaten a little from set-pieces. Trezeguet struggled to stand alone, and although he could still use his height advantage as a fulcrum, Juventus struggled to grab the second spot.

Inter Milan's counterattack was also unsatisfactory, and Ricardo's role in Inter Milan's counterattack was too important, and as soon as he came off the field, Inter Milan's counterattack could not be played. Adriano was out of form, stumbling with the ball and shooting inaccurately, making it hard to imagine his godly descent at the start of the season and his devastation last season.

The managers of both sides made another substitution.

On Inter's side, Roberto Mancini used up his last substitution and replaced Adriano with Recoba.

Ricardo, who was sitting next to him, smacked his lips, thinking that Recoba was not suitable for the lone arrow, and that it would be better to replace Martins or Cruz. Unfortunately, Cruz didn't make the squad today.

Juventus, on their side, replaced Camoranesi with striker Mutu, and Juventus played three forwards.

Mutu's partnership with Adriano during his time at Parma was arguably the second-strongest attacking partner in Serie A, but the two have since followed on different trajectories.

Adriano quickly became the pillar of Inter Milan's striking, while Mutu was only a fourth, or even fifth-pick striker at Juventus, and his development was not satisfactory.

It should be said that Mutu has been on the decline since the first time he joined Inter Milan, and the once Romanian talent, who was thought to be able to reach the heights of Hadge, now seems to be just an ordinary player with a little talent.

In the 81st minute, Córdoba fouled Nedved and Piero took a free-kick, which was played with high quality and flew off the bottom line against the post.

In the 83rd minute, Córdoba fouled Nedved again...... This time Córdoba was dissatisfied, believing that his defensive moves were clean, but Paparesta insisted on the original decision.

Piero takes the free-kick again.

He set the ball up, and when the waiting wall was set, he calmly ran and exerted his strength, and the ball drew a wonderful arc and hung in the upper right corner of the goal.

Sassel can't do anything!

"Piero Goal!" The commentator exclaimed passionately, "The Prince of Alp equalized for Juventus with a wonderful free-kick!" ”

"The Juventus people have not given up, they have been working hard and now their efforts have paid off! Mancini's conservative choice this time suffered a bitter fruit, and at the last minute, Inter Milan's 83-minute effort came to naught! ”
