Chapter 340: Hit the left side
"Robert. Carlos! He has done a service for Real Madrid! Ricardo was lying on the ground, he was very unhappy with himself, and such an empty chance did not go through. If he scores this goal, the rest of Inter's games will go much better. ”
What Ricardo thought was: I still can't compare to Ronaldo after all. If it had been Ronaldo, the goal would have gone in.
This thought made him very frustrated.
He quickly got up and ran back with his head down.
Inter Milan took a corner kick, the Real Madrid defender pushed the ball out, and the Inter players retreated like a tide, not giving Real Madrid a chance to counterattack.
A minute later, Real Madrid's attack was blocked again, with Córdoba playing the ball to the right. After Figo got the ball, he observed it and immediately moved widely to find Ricardo.
Ricardo chested the ball, flicked it past Siciño, and ran wildly with the ball. Ciciño was in hot pursuit, and he was also very fast, not being thrown off by Ricardo.
When Ricardo ran to the ground with the ball close to the baseline, he slowed down slightly and made a gesture to dunk the ball with his left foot, and Ciciño couldn't help but pause. But Ricardo's left foot was just a fluff, and he immediately started to catch up with the ball and crossed with his left foot.
Adriano headed past Woodgate in the middle, but it went just wide of the post.
"Ricardo was very active today and Inter played on his side and it worked very well. Sicinho's assist ability has been obvious to all this season, but his defensive ability still needs to be improved. ”
"After surviving the indiscriminate bombardment of Real Madrid in the opening five minutes, Inter Milan gradually found their senses. They used foul tactics to disrupt Real Madrid's attack, resolutely played defensive counter-attacks, and looked like a big threat at the moment. Carlo will have to figure out how to do it, and no one can guarantee that Inter's next counter-attack will not result in a goal. ”
In the 14th minute, Inter Milan found another chance to counter-attack, this time again taking advantage of the gap behind Siciño's assist, and Stankovic's long ball found Ricardo with precision.
As soon as Ricardo unloaded the ball with his thigh, he immediately cut inside and Woodgate came up to defend. Against the England centre-back, Ricardo stepped on his bike twice and suddenly flicked the ball past him. Woodgate chased back two steps, then suddenly stopped and slammed to the ground.
Ricardo didn't know what was going on behind him, and even if he did, he wouldn't stop. At this time, Real Madrid's backline only has Ramos and Robert. Carlos two, such a great opportunity to play two and two should not be missed.
Facing Ramos, Ricardo did not slow down, he made a gesture to break down from the left, but when Ramos was ready to block with his legs, he used his right toe to turn the ball a little. The ball rolled under Ramos' crotch and Adriano slotted in from a diagonal stab, ready to shoot. Casillas wasn't in a good position and he felt that the goal would go in!
But Robert. Carlos was on the stroke again when he spoiled the ball with a quick and accurate tackle in the box.
Adriano looked up to the sky and sighed, now he understood what Ricardo had just done.
33-year-old Robert. Carlos is still the number one left-back in the world!
"Robert. Carlos was on the move again, and his brilliant defence made it impossible for Inter to fight back and forth. However, this goal should also be a wake-up call for Carlo, Real Madrid cannot continue to play like this. ”
Carlo was indeed anxious. He ran to the sidelines and yelled for the Real Madrid players to recycle a little bit and play a little more consistently.
If you continue to play like this, Real Madrid has not scored yet, and Inter Milan's counterattack will always be successful.
Inter Milan was about to take a corner kick when the referee stopped the game. Woodgate was still lying there.
The referee asked a few questions and motioned for the team doctor to come on.
Carlo's face was even worse. The house leak happened to rain overnight, and after the team doctor's examination, Woodgate had strained the muscles in his left leg due to his excessive movements, and he could no longer continue to play. Carlo had to replace him with Spanish defender Messia.
Real Madrid, who had lost their defender, began to regain and stopped attacking aggressively.
This made Inter Milan uncomfortable. The tactics they had formulated before the game were to defend and counterattack, but now that Real Madrid are not attacking, they can't start counterattacking.
It didn't take long for Mancini to give his latest instructions: control the midfield and play steadily.
There is no need to rush to attack, and there is no need to stick to the tactics of defensive counterattacks.
Inter Milan is not lacking in positional battles, and patience is enough to deal with opponents.
The tempo of both sides slowed down in unison.
After the tempo slowed down, Real Madrid's midfield dominance came to the fore. With a midfield maestro like Zinedine Zidane, they completely overpowered Inter Milan in midfield and exhausted Inter's midfield.
In the 20th minute, Zidane's beautiful cross found Beckham, Beckham took the ball into the penalty area, Ronal hit the goal with a header, but the top was too square, and Cesar confiscated the ball.
Two minutes later, Ramos played a long pass from the back, Beckham took the ball and handed it down the middle, Zidane fired a precise through ball and Ronaldo ran into position, but his shot was blocked by Materazzi.
"Both sides have consciously slowed down the tempo during this period, but in the slow tempo, Real Madrid with Zinedine Zidane have a clear advantage. His midfield playmaking ability is far superior to Pizarro's. If Veron is there, he may be able to contend with it. However, the contradiction between Veron and Adriano has been made public, and it is understandable that Mancini is not worried about the two playing at the same time," the commentator analyzed, "After the opening, Inter Milan mainly attacked Siciinho's side and achieved great results, but now Carlo should have rearranged it, and Sicinho has rarely assisted to come forward." Inter's attack is a bit blocked, and Mancini should hurry up and think about what to do. ”
Countermeasure? Inexistent. Mancini smiled slightly. Siciño could not stop Ricardo's progress. There is no need for any countermeasures, just wait for Licardo to beat Cicinho.
Sure enough, 1 minute later, Inter Milan attacked again on the left side, and Licardo forced Siciño to cut inside, and Siciniho had to take foul tactics to pull Licardo down.
Although Ciciño is also a full-back known for his speed, his speed is really not enough in front of Ricardo. And his defensive ability has always been criticized.
Compared with Ricardo, whether it is physical confrontation ability, technique, or speed, he is absolutely inferior.
Although the score is still 0-0, Mancini is not in any hurry. It should be the other party who is in a hurry. Playing away from home, a draw is a victory.
With Real Madrid's fragile backline, Mancini is confident of beating them back at home.
