Chapter 568: Touching Buffon Again
The relatively boring Carabao Cup students were brought into the spotlight by Vardy, and opponents Reggina said they were hurt.
We're all weak enough to send 12 people to play against us?
Do you want to bully people like this?
The fans said they were happy to see Vardy teasing again.
As for Vardy, he wanted to cry without tears, and he swore it was really just a misunderstanding.
It's a pity that no one believes him!
In addition, the referee of this game was angry because of Vardy, because Vardy actually said that he respected this referee very much.
You must know that there are not a few referees who have a bad relationship with Vardy, and those referees who deliberately target Vardy have basically been dealt with by him.
I have never heard of a referee that Vardy has a good relationship with, but I didn't expect that when I first came to Serie A, there was a referee who could convince Vardy, and this referee had never blown an official game.
Could it be that charisma won over Vardy?
There seems to be only one explanation!
The Italian Football Federation decided to take this opportunity to promote this referee and train him to become Collina's successor, so that there are two top referees in Italian football!
Vardy didn't know that his teasing actions could have such an impact on other people, and he was being punished by Mancini for running laps!
Of course, as Inter's super-header, Mancini can't really punish Vardy even if he makes some innocuous mistakes, and a simple lesson will suffice.
......
In the 19th round of the league, Inter Milan hosted Parma.
Inter did not send out the full squad in this game, and even Vardy was on the bench for two consecutive games.
Of course, this does not mean that Jamie Vardy was punished and did not start, in fact Mancini is ready to save for the Coppa Italia in midweek.
Parma are relatively easy to deal with, while midweek Coppa Italia opponents are not so easy to deal with, and the old ladies of the Coppa Italia can be more difficult to deal with against a Juventus side who are in desperate need of a trophy boost.
However, even with a semi-main and half-substitute rotation lineup, Inter did not leave much chance for Parma, firmly controlled the game, and maintained the advantage along the way, and finally won the opponent.
Jamie Vardy was a bit frustrated, and Mancini didn't come on until two minutes remaining, feeling as if he had been designed to stall for time.
Am I the world footballer of the year to stall for time?
He went up to convey Mancini's instructions to his team-mates one by one, and just finished the job, and before Vardy could get ready to make a big impact, the game was over, and Vardy didn't even touch the ball after coming on the pitch.
It's embarrassing!
This has a serious impact on Vardy's stats!
Because of the two minutes, Vardy's average goals per game has dropped sharply, and Vardy doesn't know who to complain to.
Either let me start, or don't let me play at all.
In just two minutes, no small amount, Vardy expressed serious dissatisfaction.
If it were a middle-aged woman, she would never be able to fight with Mancini......
This round of the league is over, and the Serie A league is officially halfway through, and the situation is clear.
With 18 wins and 1 draw, Inter Milan leads the standings strongly, and has already left second-placed Roma by 12 points.
Roma's 43 points would certainly be at the top of the table if they were converted into previous seasons, but the problem now is that Serie A has a thriving Inter Milan.
There is no suspense about winning the Serie A title, the only suspense is whether Inter Milan will not be able to maintain such an efficient point grabbing efficiency in the second half of the season due to distractions from European competitions and cup competitions, and how many rounds can finally be advanced to win the championship.
Even the Roman prince Totti couldn't help but regret that Roma's goal of winning the championship this season had been declared a failure in advance, and it was Roma's more realistic goal to keep the league runner-up and win the Coppa Italia.
Looking at the whole of European football, there is really no team with such a big advantage in their respective leagues, and even Bayern, a lone team in the Bundesliga, cannot reach the level of standing out from the crowd.
There is nothing new in the media touting Inter Milan, because they really can't find more praise to keep everyone fresh, just as they can't tout Vardy with his goals, and only one day when Vardy's goals drop sharply, I'm afraid they will find a topic.
......
In fact, Inter Milan never expected to meet Juventus so early in the Coppa Italia, which added a small difficulty to Inter Milan's goal of the treble.
Is this what the Italian Football Federation means?
Hope Inter Milan won't be distracted by the Coppa Italia and focus on competing for the Champions League?
But the problem is that Inter is confident of winning the treble!
Juventus is not easy to deal with, but it will never make Inter Milan sad, and I believe that it should be Juventus who is sad at this time.
Ranieri was really distressed, and the result of this draw caught him off guard.
Juventus went through the phone call and were united to be promoted from Serie B to Serie A, and after a lot of squad changes in the first season, they should have a higher goal.
There is no need to think about the Serie A, an Inter Milan in full swing is enough to overwhelm all the giants, and it is obviously a fool's dream to aim for the Serie A championship.
Then the Coppa Italia title is clearly the most suitable target, Juventus need the title to announce their return, they need the title to encourage themselves, they need the title to boost their morale.
Except for Inter Milan, Juventus is not afraid of anyone.
The ideal result is to meet Inter Milan later in the Coppa Italia, and the semi-finals are the best, because at that time, Inter Milan must have entered a critical moment in both the Champions League and Serie A, and may not be willing to fight Juventus in the Coppa Italia.
But I didn't expect that Inter Milan would meet so early, and Ranieri also wanted to say MMP to the Italian Football Association.
Now Inter's schedule can be said to be quite leisurely, the Champions League group stage is over, the Champions League knockout stage is still early, the league schedule is relatively relaxed, and Inter's lead is so big, it is completely possible to let go of one and compete with Juventus in the Italian Cup.
No, in the last round of the league, Inter Milan hid half of the main team, and the intention is already very obvious.
I can't beat it!
It's not that the tinker is the one who wants others to destroy his prestige, and an Inter Milan with Vardy is probably a taboo that all European giants are unwilling to touch.
But it's too late to say anything now, since it's already encountered, it's better to fight to the death than to surrender without a fight.
In terms of media opinion before the game, they were optimistic about Inter Milan, and even the local media in Turin were pessimistic about Juventus.
If Inter Milan is now fighting on three fronts, then Juventus still has the possibility of an upset, but in the face of an Inter Milan with an easy schedule, Juventus can only have one result.
That's right, now Juventus' victory over Inter Milan can only be regarded as an upset, which shows the strength of Inter.
And Inter Milan did not live up to the media's favor, and they did not fully send the main lineup in this game, completely treating Juventus as an ordinary team and despising the opponent strategically.
In fact, Mancini really didn't think about it that much, because this is just a normal rotation, and you can't let a few main players play all the time, right?
And he is indeed confident of winning Juventus, and Inter's strong squad gives him full confidence.
Jamie Vardy partnered Crespo, who played Ibrahimovic and Suazo in the last league game, so they were rested for this game and there was a Balotelli on the bench who was eager to try.
In fact, it makes sense for Mancini to arrange this, Ibujan is not a big player, so it is absolutely exciting for him to abuse vegetables, but in the face of strong opponents, Ibrahiman may not have a good performance, so Mancini usually arranges him to play in the league more targeted.
Crespo doesn't have so many problems, although he is not as efficient as Ibrahimovic's goals, but he is stable, even if he is not frightened in big battles, and he is also very powerful when combined with Vardy.
For this game, Vardy also deliberately practiced free kicks before the game, and it was a team-type free kick.
Even if Vardy's free-kicks have a super high clearance rate, it always feels unsafe in the face of an eight-handed Buffon, so Vardy studied the free-kick combination with Stankovic and Cambiaso.
Of course, in fact, there is no such complicated routine, usually one person shakes, and the other person shoots, a little more complicated, it is two people covering and running, anyway, as long as you interfere with the wall and Buffon.
Vardy has worked so hard to prepare for the game, and he is definitely worthy of Juventus' status, and Juventus should feel honored.
Of course, Vardy also has other things to pay attention to for this game, that is, he must not let Buffon touch his head.
In fact, before facing Juventus in the first leg, Buffon did not summarize and practice in detail the nirvana of touching the head, and he did not have such a clear understanding.
However, since Vardy enlightened him, Buffon seems to have opened a door to a new world before his eyes, and he is out of control.
In the next few league games, Buffon carried out mysterious and brutal head-touching kills on the opponent's strikers, carried out a powerful curse, and successfully blocked the opponent's striker, trying to protect the goal.
If this phenomenon is only once or twice, then no one will pay attention to it, but there are too many times, and it is difficult for everyone not to pay attention.
Buffon's head-touching is really famous, and there are a lot of facts as a basis, even if it seems to be something mysterious and mysterious, but like Vardy's teasing aura, it can't be seen or touched, but it is real.
So much so that now the strikers of Juventus' opponents are all walking around Buffon, for fear that Buffon will appear silently and brutally touch his head.
Tracing back to the source, everyone found that perhaps Buffon was not the originator of the head-touching kill, but just the person who carried forward the head-touching curse, but what really taught Buffon his stunt was to tease Vardy.
There is a tease who has been infected by Vardy - Buffon who has been killed by his head.
