Chapter 272: What's in the Bag

In the 68th minute, Ibrahimovic burst into the Inter Milan penalty area with the ball and was "closed" by Cordoba and Zanetti.

Córdoba had a little movement in his hand, but the amplitude was not large, and this ball was delved into and could not be judged, and Licardo felt cold in his heart and felt that he would be awarded a penalty. But DeSantis, probably out of compensation, was unmoved, causing an uproar and boos in the Alp Stadium.

Two minutes later, the increasingly brave Ibrahimovic picked up the ball on the left and shook off Zanetti and picked up a cross into the box, Nedved pressed Favali to head back, and Appia volleyed a right-footed volley high over the crossbar from 20 yards.

In the 71st minute, Ibrahimovic formed a breakthrough on the left side again, knocked back to the edge of the penalty area, Nedved made contact with Zanetti and fell in the box, DeSantis signaled the game to continue, Nedved got up and said a few words angrily, expressing his dissatisfaction, while Zanetti said mockingly: "Do you think the referee can't see such an obvious fake fall?" "He didn't really foul just now, just normal physical contact. Of course, Nedved may not be a fake fall, but his body is indeed out of balance.

Soon Nedved got his revenge when he tripped Zanetti while pressing up front and was booked by DeSantis.

Capello used up his last substitution, with the mediocre Piero replaced by Salayeta.

Salayeta's appearance was the turning point of the game. Although Piero is not in good form, he can at least hold the ball and play for Ibrahimovic. And when Salayeta came on the pitch, the rhythm was not on the same channel as his teammates at all.

Roberto Mancini also made a substitution, with Donny van der Meyde coming on for Zemalia in an attempt to strengthen the wide attack.

Van der Meyde had just come on and made a break down the right, knocking the ball back to Ricardo near the baseline.

After Ricardo took the ball, he deftly flicked it past Blasi, and in the face of Appia, he flicked the ball sideways again, flashing a gap.

Ronaldo then started running in the box, attracting Cannavaro and Thuram, with a brief absence of any defenders between Ricardo and the goal.

Ricardo made up his mind and suddenly shot with his left foot.

The ball was kicked so abruptly that Buffon was half a beat slower to react, and he made a save after the ball flew some distance.

Although Ricardo's shot was not a tricky shot into the corner, he was just able to use his fingertips to flick the ball, which refracted on the inside of the post and rolled into the goal.

"Ricardo goal!!!" The commentator yelled, "He burst into the penalty area and gave Inter Milan the lead with his left foot, which he is not good at!" Ronaldo caught the attention of the Juventus defenders and allowed Ricardo to find a gap, and it was Ricardo who scored the goal, but Ronaldo's containment was at least half the credit! As long as he is on the pitch, the attention of opponents will always be on him, and it is easy to ignore other Inter players. ”

Ricardo stood in place for a full two seconds, waiting for DeSantis to point to the center circle before he began to celebrate.

The goal was so crucial that he wanted to strip off to celebrate, but then he thought he had a yellow card on him, so he temporarily stopped and just rolled up his shirt and put it over his head. Since he was wearing sweat-absorbing clothing inside, he was not naked, so it would not lead to cards.

Ronaldo chased after him, pushed Ricardo to the ground, and pounced on him, and the other Inter Milan players also ran over and pressed up, playing Arhat.

A smile finally appeared on Mancini's face. He applauded Ricardo's goal.

By the time the game restarted, the clock had reached the 80th minute, and Juventus were no longer steady, like a lady who took off her long skirt to get in the way, and launched a mercury-like attack around Inter Milan's penalty area.

In the 82nd minute, Ibrahimovic broke free from the Cordoba defence and fired a fierce shot from inside the box, but Toldo struggled to save the ball over the crossbar.

Angered after the save, Toldo complained to the referee that Ibrahimovic had elbowed Córdoba while dribbling, but his protest was only rewarded with a yellow card.

DeSantis's decision today is really incomprehensible, on the one hand, he blew away two good balls from Inter Milan, and showed yellow cards to some actions of Inter Milan players that did not constitute serious fouls; On the other hand, the Juventus player fell twice in the Inter penalty area, and he did not take the opportunity to award a penalty. It can only be said that he still has to nod his face and dare not go too far.

In the 85th minute, Camoranesi took a long-range shot from the top of the arc, but the ball was too wide and was held in Toldo's arms. One minute later, Ibrahimovic knocked out Cordoba without the ball, but this time DeSantis selectively ignored it and did not punish Ibrahimovic, who was already booked.

Mancini jumped on the sidelines and cursed, and he didn't relent a little until the fourth official warned him. In the 90th minute, Juventus had a succession of chances on goal, but Inter's defence was united and kept every shot out of goal.

With four minutes of stoppage time, Roberto Mancini used up his last substitution, with Davies coming on for Ricardo to strengthen the midfield and delay the game for a while. Ricardo walked down slowly, and the thousands of nera who came to the scene gave him a round of applause.

Until the end of the game, Juventus could not change the score, and had to accept the reality of being beaten at home and the gap between Inter Milan and widening to three points.

As Zanetti led the players to the visiting bench to greet the Nerazzurri fans from afar, Ibrahimovic came to Ricardo with a black face, his bare and strong upper body, carrying his wet jersey: "Here you go, little one." ”

"Big man, how am I doing today?" When Ricardo took off his shirt and handed it to Ibrahimovic, he couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth.

Ibrahimovic turned his face: "It's okay, it's only a little bit worse than me." ”

Ricardo raised his eyebrows and said: "I don't think my goals are worse than yours. ”

God Zlatan proudly said: "You want to catch up with me, in another 5 years." The gap between you and me is bigger than the gap between me and Ronnie. ”

Ricardo smiled and didn't fight anymore. This is the tolerance of the victors.

By the end of this round, Inter Milan had 72 points and Juventus 69, and the title race would continue in the next six league rounds, but Inter Milan had undoubtedly taken the initiative and had the advantage. As long as they don't drop the chain themselves, this season's league title is in the bag.
