Chapter 14: When Trust Becomes a Habit
On the field, since ancient times, those who win the midfielder have won the world.
Today's Juventus team, after Zidane left, the gorgeous Marseille maneuver is gone.
But in Lippi's hands, Juventus' midfield became quicker, and the fighting style became stronger.
Zambrotta and Tacinadi in the middle focused on defence, while Nedved and Davies were like two sharp knives, constantly sprinting back and forth in midfield, scrambling, tackling, penetrating with short passes, and attacking quickly.
And both Nedved and Davis have the skill of a heavy gun, which is difficult to guard.
In the front field of the Juventus team, there is now Trezeguet, who is gradually becoming the king of the scorers in Serie A.
They also have a golden boy or a successor to Baggio, but no one can ignore the excellent striker Piero, who is actually Kovacevic, who is not a bad striker, but an excellent center forward who is not lacking in height, speed and impact!
The Juventus team's attack is really not, whoever can defend can defend it.
And what about Juventus' opponents in this match, Inter Milan?
In the forward line, Caron and Vieri are not bad combinations.
If Vieri's individual impact ability is much higher than the striker players on the field, the midfield strength potential of the Inter Milan team is not small, but before forming a real joint force, it is not as good as Juventus.
Inter Milan midfielders, Di Biagio and Zanetti are both midfield defensive giants, but one old and one young, that is, on a par with Zambrotta and Tacinadi, what if you add a Davies?
Seedorf is indeed a superstar, but he is a superstar with conditions. On the pitch, he is a probe without the ball, and the Inter midfielders simply cannot expect him to defend impossible.
Pirlo was never a sapper player.
Yin Yang's midfielder is 2+2, the idea is very good, one attack and one defense, two offensive initiation points, can also be called dual-core.
However, he was rushed by the two midfielders of the Juventus team, and he couldn't defend it; Attack, can't attack, embarrassed.
In the absence of force in midfield, Vieri of the arrow, the threat was drastically reduced.
Fortunately, whether it is Seedorf or Pirlo, after getting the ball, they can hold it steady. It's hard for Juventus players to snatch the ball from their feet and not foul one-on-one!
In this way, the time of this half-game is decreasing little by little.
Towards the end of the game, when the Inter Milan team will lose to Juventus, the Juventus team launched another wave of attacks.
Tacinadi won the ball and crossed diagonally into the penalty area, Piero received the ball and swiped it, past Zanetti, and stabbed it ......
Lippi raised his hands in excitement as Piero shot and the players on both benches nervously stood up.
Yin Yang gritted his teeth, the Rubik's Cube in his hand was about to be crushed by him, and he muttered in his heart: "Don't enter with a single knife!" ”
Piero adjusted his pace as he sprinted and smiled, kicking, swinging forward, shooting, and so on!
Toldo then dropped out of the net and fell sideways, but he could only watch as the ball passed through the fingertips of his big hands.
It's just a little bit close!
Toldo's eyes were split, his heart was gray, and he was unwilling!
When the ball passed over Toldo's big hands and slid towards the goal's corner, a thick thigh appeared in the path where the ball traveled in the absolute corner of the goal.
This is the Inter Milan team, except for the third goalkeeper Marco? The thick thighs of Blanco, the second oldest veteran outside of Barota and now in Chinese New Year's Eve.
He's not as fast as he used to be, and he doesn't turn around as fast, but that's relative to a top centre-back.
The general speed and turning are faster than him, but in the card position, there is no way to compare with Blanco, the double champion of the French World Cup and the European Cup.
Blanco ran towards the goal with a slow pace, and when he saw that Toldo had fallen, a thought flashed in his mind, the ball was heading for the bottom left corner of the goal, and he couldn't catch up.
Blanco fell to the ground, his toes straight, stretching his body as long as he could, and gliding across the green grass.
At this time, there was a vibration sensation on the toes, Blanco was overjoyed, and tried to straighten his whole body again, but the toes were empty, and then the sound of running on the court was heard, and there was silence.
Blanco instantly understood that the ball had not been in the goal, nor was it out of the line, and he held his hands as he struggled to get up.
A pair of leather gloves appeared in front of him, put them on his hands, and got up, and without looking at Toldo, the two passed by.
Toldo stood at the goalline, his body slightly bent......
Blanco strode to the corner of the small penalty area and stood still, then he was relieved to look at everything on the field.
The tall Italian lad who had been defending diligently on his left was gone.
He was running along the flank, as if in a 100-meter sprint, with no ball at his feet.
Blanco's eyes turned to midfield, and he saw Pirlo take a step with the ball and Davies take a step back, facing each other like a bullfight......
Just now, when Blanco poked the ball from Piero with his toe, the reaction force of the ball caused it to deflect off the left wing of the Inter Milan team.
Grosso arrived just in time and stepped on the ball with the sole of his foot to stop it without letting it roll off the sideline.
At this time, he found that the left side was empty, as if it was a racetrack, and he made a big foot and chased the ball to the front court.
At this point, Nedved rushed over, and Grosso and Nedved had a one-on-one chance.
What a wonderful option it would be if he got past football superstar Nedved and dribbled into the Juventus penalty area.
But he knew since he was a child that people can never run fast with the ball on the court!
He swept the ball with his left foot and passed it to Andrea Pirlo in midfield.
He ran to the front court like crazy, he remembered that Yin Yang said that when assisting, don't think about the back, don't think about running to the position, the ball can't be passed.
This is Inter Milan, not Chieti FC in the third division, and every one of your teammates can be trusted!
Grosso believes in his teammates, and he believes in Yin Yang!
The course is only a little more than 100 meters long, and it can be passed in about ten seconds. At this time, Grosso ran at the same speed as a 100-meter sprint......
Grosso had just been parallel to the line in front of the Juventus team's penalty area when he felt the wind coming above his head.
Grosso leaned slightly to one side, slowing down slightly, and a black and white elf fell in front of him......
This long-pass offensive routine was practiced by the team.
After Pirlo forced Davies to take a step back, he didn't look forward at all, and as is customary, he kicked a long ball, and then he left Davis behind and went to the middle of the pitch.
At this time, Juventus is in chaos at the back!
When Grosso ran up front without the ball, the Juventus players had not yet reacted.
By the time Grosso stopped the ball, the Juventus players knew something was wrong, but the hole in their back three appeared.
Seeing Grosso rushing forward, the three central defenders can't help but send a central defender to defend, right?
Although Grosso came from a humble background, he has worked as a winger, a center forward, and an attacking midfielder, and it would be self-deception to underestimate his shooting skills!
At this time, Juventus' central defender Montero came up, but today really wasn't his lucky day!
Within forty-five minutes, Vieri had just been hard eating him once with his body and speed, and this time it was still the same.
Grosso soared to speed, and the kinetic energy brought out by the body of 1.91 meters was something that Montero could compete with?
It's a big penalty area again, and if you force a foul, then Montero is a fool, and he quietly stretches out his big hand......
