Chapter 521: Back to Home
Valencia won't give Inter Milan any chance at home in this game.
If nothing else, Cooper will definitely press the offense today, after all, the gap of three goals, unless he really doesn't want to advance, otherwise Cooper can't even bear Moratti if he defends and counterattacks.
Sure enough, as Fan Shang expected, although Cooper still discharged 442 today, there have been some changes in personnel, especially in the midfield.
Inter Milan's starting line-up today is, goalkeeper Toldo, four defenders, Zanetti, Córdoba, Materazzi and Thuram, four midfielders, Emerson, Jugovic, Seedorf and Stankovic, forwards Vieri and Ronaldo.
First of all, defensively, although Toldo conceded three goals in the last game, he has no problems at all, the back line has no defense in the most dangerous place, how can you blame the goalkeeper, and if it weren't for Santoldo's estimation of 3:0, the score would not be able to be saved.
Materazzi deservedly replaced Gresco's position, and midfielder Cooper abandoned the double midfielder and used a diamond-shaped position, but this position has not been used by Inter Milan several times throughout the season, and it remains to be seen how well they understand it.
Needless to say, Valencia's lineup is needless to say, Fan Shang has nothing to change, the 361 formation, plus these staffing is very good, and the central defender still uses Abidal, after all, he is younger than Djukic and can run more when facing Ronaldo.
After the start of the game, Inter Milan did have a tendency to attack on all fronts, but the three attacking midfielders, Jugovic, Seedorf and Stankovic, did not form any effective cooperation, mainly playing alone.
So Valencia's control is evident in this regard, and it didn't take much effort to get it when it came to fighting Inter Milan for control of the midfield.
Inter Milan was forced to play back to their defensive counter-attacking path this time, and Stankovic also changed from a forward midfielder to a midfielder, fortunately he is more versatile and active, otherwise Inter Milan, who only has a midfielder, will be played badly by Valencia.
Within the opening 15 minutes, Inter Milan went from being in high spirits to being forced to change tactics, and Cooper could still point fingers on the sidelines at the beginning, but by this time, he had to stand on the sidelines, and this passive situation could not be solved by stretching out his hand and shouting.
In the 19th minute, Belleron and Aimar passed to each other in the front, Aimar passed to Angulo on the side, Angulo took the ball to the middle, and then gave the ball to Aimar in the middle, and Aimar gave Belleron again, so several back and forth passes, Inter Milan's defense at the front of the penalty area was pulled away.
In order to be more efficient, Bellerón entered the box from this open space, but Bellerón did not shoot himself, but divided the ball a little bit into Mendieta on the wing when he saw Córdoba and Zanetti coming to flank him.
Mendieta's position was able to pass and shoot, and this time Valencia was very fine, and when Mendieta did not shoot directly on goal, but attracted the attention of Zanetti and the rest of the defenders, Mendieta passed an inverted triangle pass.
Belleron shot further from goal than before, and this time all the defensive attention was drawn to the right side of Mendieta, and Belleron aimed at the top left corner of the goal with a shot, this time it was a pure power shot, just for the power and speed.
Santo's body is still on the right side, for this shot that suddenly hit the far corner, Santoldo actually made a move, but unfortunately the ball speed is too fast, can only look at the ball and sigh.
1:0, Valencia tore a hole in Inter Milan's defense through a delicate multi-person cooperation.
Fan Shang gave this ball tree a thumbs up, a series of passes before the goal, quite tacit understanding, and the grasp of the vacancy and the timing of the ball were also particularly well chosen, and it was definitely a textbook goal with many people.
The ball is played from the middle to the left wing, then from the left to the middle, then from the middle to the right, and finally to the right side of the inverted triangle to the middle. In this way, the three-way back and forth pass is an important reason for tearing apart the Inter Milan defense.
Stankovic was the first to be stunned, and then Emerson alone in the middle couldn't fend the back and forth, with Zanetti and Cordoba then folded inside.
Cooper was also jumping and scolding after scoring again, I don't know if it was the player or himself who was scolding, to be honest, he couldn't prevent this ball from being put on that team, even if it was the kind of iron bucket formation led by Fan Shang before, it was possible to be scattered.
After kicking off again, Valencia tasted the sweetness of quick transfer and continuous passing, and became more and more fond of playing like this, and the number of one-kick shots increased significantly.
Emerson originally wanted to be like the last game, standing in front of the defender and stabbing the position to death, but this time Cooper didn't want to do this, the last game was because of this, giving Valencia too many long-range shooting opportunities, although Valencia did not score from a long shot, but these three goals were all sudden changes after continuous long-range shots, which made Inter Milan's defense a little chaotic.
Cooper couldn't let Valencia be so unscrupulous today, so Emerson had to make a tackle, but unfortunately, today coincided with Valencia's addiction to passing.
If Inter Milan grabbed the back in the last game, it may still form a local advantage, but today it can only be robbed, Emerson and Stankovic were slipped away, and the original Valencia players may control the ball and give others a little hope. But now, Emerson and Stankovic met Valencia with a pass, and they had to run along.
Slipping away, Valencia will suddenly split the ball up the flanks or directly into Tony in the box.
However, Tony was really seen miserably today, Córdoba has been dangling in front of Tony, and Materazzi has been pushing him behind Tony, and he has been making small movements.
Although Toni already knows Materazzi's style well, with the addition of a Córdoba, Toni is a little out of his way.
At this time, it was already seen that the situation in the penalty area was not very good, Valencia began to shoot from a distance again, but this time the position was not so far, just in front of the penalty area, after slipping Emerson and Stankovic out, whoever is at the front of the area will be bored, this accurate head is much more reliable than the long-distance shot in the last game.
