Chapter 202: Duel
Before the competition, Chinese media interviewed Zhang Jun and Li Yongle respectively to hear their views on the competition. As a result, the answers of the two were surprisingly consistent.
"Victory, Inter Milan is not here for tourism. Fiorentina have been in good form lately but we are confident of winning. ”
"We're fifteen games unbeaten and that's a great result, so there's no reason not to continue. It's our home stadium and we've won it all at home, so we're going to continue to win all this time as well. ”
More than 5,000 Inter fans travelled from Milan to Fiorentina and gathered at the Stadio Frankie two hours before kick-off.
But Frankie is still Fiorentina's home stadium, with more than 30,000 seats and purple all over the place, and the fans can hear the singing from afar. The most eye-catching thing in the stands is the large portrait of Zhang Jun, hand-painted, to be honest, the painting is really not flattering, and Zhang Jun, who has long hair, is painted as a wild man. But it expresses the fans' truest emotions very well.
It's an atmosphere that really makes any away team feel the pressure.
So Li Yongle felt that his heartbeat was a little fast. Standing in the players' tunnel, he looked at Zhang Jun, who was wearing the captain's armband at the front, and he looked very calm. Maybe this is his home turf, and he's used to it. I can't lose to him, Li Yongle clenched his fists hard and dug his nails into the flesh of his palm.
From coming out of the locker room to entering the side, Li Yongle's eyes always stopped on Zhang Jun.
Watch him shake hands with Zanetti, watch him communicate with the referee and pick sides, this kid, the captain is doing more and more decent.
After picking the side, Zhang Jun smiled at Li Yongle, who had been staring at him from a distance, and stretched out his fist.
Li Yongle also stretched out his fist, and the two bumped fists through the air.
※※※
In this game, Inter Milan ranked 343, with parallel positions in the midfield, Li Yongle and Veron played in the middle, Solari on the left replaced the injured Stankovic, and on the right was the team's captain Xavier; Zanetti's central defenders are Samuel, Materaci and Córdoba, while the front three are Adriano, Martins and Recoba.
Fiorentina is still 442, Zhang Jun and Pazzini partner up front, Crewe in front, Mascherano in the back, Gasballoni on the left, Jorgensen on the right, Oujfarusi and Kehl at central defenders, Xiang Tao at left wing, and Lahm at right wingback.
Fiorentina's squad played for half a season, and after the run-in, the cooperation is getting better and better. But it has to be seen that this is also caused by Fiorentina's lack of bench depth. Thankfully, Fiorentina lost the Coppa Italia at the start of the season, otherwise the two-tier team might not have the fifteen-game unbeaten streak they are now.
Now the team is actually very tired, and Sabato has been looking forward to the winter break for a long time, so that the team can rest and rest.
He once suggested to Ren Yudi that during the winter break, a few players with good strength should be brought in. But Ren Yudi rejected his opinion on the grounds that there was no suitable player, and it was at that time that Sabato really felt that the boss was the boss and he was him.
※※※
Li Yongle is at the heart of Inter Milan, and this is no longer news that excites the Chinese media and fans. The offense is initiated by him, and the defense is the first barrier. He made the most passes on the team and made the third most tackles on the team. In response to this situation, Sabato just told Mascherano to go up when Li Yongle stepped forward, and if he got the ball in the backcourt, he would leave him alone and let Crewe pester him.
And the core of Fiorentina is definitely Zhang Jun, both mentally and tactically. The whole team will revolve around him. Anyway, Sabato's tactics were originally to attack, attack, and attack. If you enter one of me, I will enter you two.
It's a flattering style that neither fans nor experts can criticise them. Because they've played well, and crucially, they've always won in recent months, and some conservatives have had to shut up.
So every time Sabato looked triumphant at the press conference. Before this game, he even made a bold statement that he would win against Inter Milan at home. 'Inter Milan has nothing to fear, they are fourth and we are second.
There was a cheer over the Frankie Stadium, and just three minutes into the game, Fiorentina had the first shot on goal, and it was Zhang Jun who hit the goal. He relied on his pace to force his way through Materacci's defence, and the ball went just wide and hit the side-netting.
Sabato dared to say something like that because he had faith in Zhang Jun. He believes that with Inter Milan's three central defenders, no one can stop Zhang Jun's breakthrough, especially Materacci's stupid big man, who is not good at defense, and has a short temper, often makes some low-level mistakes, or fights with people on the field, and fights off the field, which is simply a time bomb on the Inter Milan backline. If you want to stay under Sabato, it will be out a long time ago. In this way, Inter Milan's backline is not very good......
"Containing Florence's offensive starts with containing Crewe." This is what Mancini said to Li Yongle before the game, and he hopes that Li Yongle can freeze the Chinese striker who has been active lately and often appears on TV for a week. "Lee, you don't want the shame that Gattuso suffered to happen to you again, do you?"
Li Yongle shook his head, of course he didn't want to, no one wanted to. He knows Crewe's strength, this kind of person is very difficult to deal with, because no matter how hard you press, as long as you give him a little space, he will use those unbelievable moves to get rid of it.
Zhang Jun's shot just now was because he was negligent for a while and didn't force it, so that Crewe easily plugged it straight. Although it has only been half a season, Li Yongle can see that Crewe is obviously different from when he was in the national team, he is faster with his feet, passes more, and at the same time, his incredible foot skills can also be used to break through the defense and open up the situation.
It's terrible to have such an all-round midfield, and Sabato has really put a lot of effort into Crewe.
But Crewe is amazing, and he Li Yongle is not a vegetarian.
As soon as Crewe turned around, Li Yongle cut his body sideways, cut it in, forcibly separated the ball, and cut off the ball beautifully. It was as if Crewe had hit a wall, he threw his hands up, jumped up and dodged, looking helpless.
To deal with a technical forward like him, you have to be fierce.
Li Yongle, who successfully broke the ball, blocked Crewe behind him and passed the ball to Veron, who organized the attack.
Veron slipped the ball straight to Martins, a fast-paced Nilya. Xiang Tao faced a tough test of speed in this match, and Martins faced him.
The Nisillia's consistent footwork and astonishing speed, as well as his juggling back-to-back somersaults after a goal, were Martins' weapons to fame in Serie A.
Veron's through ball allows him to get up to speed very comfortably, the ball is five or six meters in front of him, and as long as he rushes up, no one can stop him.
Suddenly, Xiang Tao came out of the diagonal stab, he was not slow, and he fell to the ground and shoveled three or four meters away from the ball. He was so imposing that even Martins didn't dare risk the ball away, and who knows if he would break his foot this time? The spikes are still glistening in the sun.
He reluctantly jumped over Xiang Tao, and Xiang Tao also shoveled the football directly out of the sideline.
"Ge Laozi!" Xiang Tao spat at Martins' back, then backed away.
Inter Milan's throw-in, Zanetti threw it to Li Yongle, Li Yongle observed the situation and transferred the long ball to the left with his right foot.
Solari makes a nice stop and then crosses the bottom!
Kyle clings to Adriano, both of whom are about the same height, depending on who is in the better position.
Kyle twisted around and blocked Adriano behind him. In the eyes of others, this should be no problem.
But Kyle didn't think so, he felt that the pressure from behind was very great, so big that he couldn't easily get out of the siege, and he was afraid that a mistake would be taken by the Brazilians.
The ball arrived, the two jumped almost at the same time, Adriano was still behind him, and he didn't look like he had much to chance......
Kyle got to the top of the ball, but he couldn't shake it up, his neck stiffened, and the ball smashed on his head, changed the line, and flew into the goal against the post!
Frey didn't even make a save......
Own goal!!
The Frankie Stadium fell silent, and then the Inter fans cheered with excitement.
"Oh my God...... Fiorentina trailed at home just seven minutes into the opening period, with their no.5 centre-back Sebastian scoring the goal; Kyle, it's an own goal. The German defender was so unlucky! ”
Kyle kept his head down and didn't say a word. The ball was given a small push by Adriano from behind, but he didn't use it as an excuse for a mistake. In the minds of the Germans, a mistake is a mistake, and there is no excuse.
Zhang Jun ran back from the front court, he patted Kyle on the head and comforted: "Don't think too much, it's still early, we can pull it back, cheer up!" ”
Inter picked up a big bargain and congratulated them on the pass and interfering with Kyle's Solari and Adriano.
Inter Milan's official radio commentator shouted excitedly: "Who said Frankie is the home of the devils? We are now 1-0 ahead! Kyle is scrambled under the pressure of the 'King'! Fiorentina's fifteen-round unbeaten run is coming to an end! They always had the upper hand against AC Milan, but against us it was a different story! Haha, own goal, God is on Inter's side today! ”
※※※
The own goal in the opening seven minutes did not bring down Fiorentina, but instead aroused the fighting spirit of this group of young people. Under Sabato's words and deeds, they now can't see others celebrating in front of them, which is considered an insult to them, and they "repay" it: If you disgrace me, then I will pay it back.
So if there are Inter Milan fans who think Fiorentina will be in disarray, then they will have to put their hearts to their throats to feel the storm of Fiorentina's attack.
Florence was like an enraged bull.
Mascherano passed to Pazzini, Pazzini directly pointed the ball to Zhang Jun next to him, Zhang Jun jumped up, pushed the ball forward with his chest, and squeezed in between Veron and Materacci by himself, and then he stopped the ball and hit it with his feet!
The ball bounced off the ground, and Toldo was embarrassed to shoot the ball off the baseline, a corner!
When there is this kind of set-piece in the front, Kyle will definitely run 50 or 60 meters from the back to participate in the attack, and he will use the goal to wash away the shame just now.
He did get the ball, but it went just over the crossbar and Frankie was filled with a sigh. But soon, the fans cheered on Fiorentina again, and then when Toldo was ready to open the goal, boos rang out.
The fans are like Zabato, they support the home team and boo the enemy, not to mention that you have scored a goal at their home stadium and are ahead?
As soon as the Inter players got the ball, there were shrill boos over the Frankie Stadium, and as soon as the ball was at Fiorentina's feet, the boos immediately turned into cheers. The fans behaved like well-trained soldiers, in unison, never giving the cheers to Inter Milan or boos to Fiorentina.
This is the power of Fiorentina's home stadium, and it is the experienced Inter Milan, who are also a little uncomfortable in the face of this kind of scene, and there are some unnecessary mistakes.
Solari received the most and loudest boos as his cross resulted in an own goal from Kyle.
Li Yan shook his head when he saw it: "This is really an extreme home ......"
Solari made a mistake in the pass amid this huge boo, and he mistakenly passed the ball to Ujfarusi, and the stands immediately burst into gloating applause and laughter. Solari was quite unhappy with this, he rushed up to break the ball, and under the protection of Oujfarusi, he couldn't break it, and the cheers of the fans were even louder, and in annoyance, he pushed Oujfarusi from behind.
Now, the boos were louder, filling people's eardrums, and the hearts of people were beating much faster. The referee showed Solari a yellow card, which was a deliberate act of revenge, and it was not wronged to eat the card, but the fans still did not give up on Solari, in addition to boos, there were also insults.
Any team and player facing such a home stadium will probably lose their sense of normalcy, right?
Xiang Tao drove the ball forward with a big foot, Crewe blocked Li Yongle behind him, stopped the ball with his chest, Li Yongle pushed him, he fell down, the referee's whistle rose again, and the fans booed again.
Li Yongle was very depressed, he didn't exert any strength at all just now. But look at Crewe's expression, it's still very innocent. I did it, and I really deserved to be a soldier brought out by a rogue coach! One is more shameless than the other!
Fiorentina got a very good position in front of the free kick, Zhang Jun was not allowed to take this free kick, Inter Milan sent six people to build a human wall, and Zhang Jun was very important.
"Distance from goal...... Twenty-seven meters, Zhang Jun was about to take the penalty, and Toldo was nervously commanding the human wall. Maybe it's also a great chance for Fiorentina to equalise, Zhang Jun came in in good form, let's take a look at this free-kick. ”
Zhang Jun and Gasballoni both stood in front of the ball, as if they were about to have a dumble. But Toldo believes that no matter what foreplay lies in front of this ball, it must be played by Zhang Jun in the end.
The referee blew the whistle, Gasballoni turned and ran to the empty left, and the human wall began to rush towards Zhang Jun - this was a foul, but the ball was not kicked out, and the referee did not blow the whistle, which can be awarded or not.
Zhang Jun rushed up, but stabbed the football directly to the left with his right foot!
Martins, who was at the front, slipped and fell to the ground, completely deceived. Not only him, but almost all Inter players were deceived.
Inter Milan captain Zanetti quickly turned and pounced on Gasballoni, while the others all spread out and retreated to the penalty area to mark the defense.
Gasballoni didn't wait for Zanetti to come and crossed directly!
Samuel pounced on the spot, but the ball was not a cross, and Córdoba in the middle held Pazzini down to prevent him from jumping, and of course he couldn't jump himself. But he left the ball for Materlaci in the back, and he cleared the ball.
Materlaci was behind, ready to jump up and head the ball to clear the siege, at this moment, Zhang Jun plugged in like lightning, he grabbed in front of the slow Materach, and rushed to the top!
It's close at hand!
With a reflexive wave of Toldo's hand, the ball was lifted off the crossbar, and it was another corner!
"Beautiful free-kick fit! disrupted Inter Milan's defense, the only regret is that Zhang Jun's header is too positive! ”
Materlaci froze there, still a little unbelieving that Zhang Jun rushed from outside the box to the goal so quickly.
Jorgensen's corner kick also changed, he passed directly to the top of the arc outside the penalty area, and Xiang Tao met the ball directly with a powerful volley and hit it high......
Two minutes later, Fiorentina broke Recoba's ball at the back and made a comeback. Mascherano passed the ball to Crewe, but Crewe didn't stop the ball and smashed it directly with his heel to Gasballoni behind him, and then he turned and ran forward.
Gasballoni didn't get tangled with Zanetti, he passed the ball forward, Crewe received the ball, and Li Yongle also turned to catch up. Together with Zanetti, he pushed Crewe to the side.
Fiorentina fans started chanting Crewe's name loudly, hoping to see the technology that would make them scream like crazy.
Lee Yongle was in front, between Crewe and the penalty area, and Zanetti was rushing towards Crewe from the other side, and they wanted to put Crewe to death - he had been forced near the corner flag.
Crewe pushed Li Yongle with one hand, leaned back, and protected the ball in front of him. Zanetti saw Crewe looking down at the ball and focused on Li Yongle, so he exerted force at his feet, accelerated his speed, and he rushed directly to break the ball, even if he couldn't grab it, he could kick the football directly out of the sideline.
The moment he rushed to the ball and picked up his right foot, Crewe pulled the ball behind him with his right foot! Zanetti just kicked it empty and rushed through!
At the same time, Crewe turned around and kept Zanetti behind him to face Li Yongle. Li Yongle took this opportunity and swept the football with his left foot.
Crewe lightly touched the ball with his left foot and pulled it back, and Li Yongle swept it away. He can break through from the right side!
But how could Li Yongle break through so easily? He quickly turned around and stepped forward with his left foot, hoping to seal Crewe's path forward.
Crewe didn't mean to break through, he stepped on the ball with his right foot again and pulled it to the left!
Thought you would! Li Yongle had already dragged his right foot behind him, which was to prevent Crewe.
But to his surprise, Crewe did not pull the ball to the left, but changed direction halfway - the toe of his left foot poked the football pulled by his right foot gently, and the football passed between Li Yongle's separated legs!
Wear the crotch!
This series of movements was smooth and free, turning Li Yongle and Zanetti around, and unbridled screams immediately sounded in the stands.
Li Yongle was stunned, Crewe took the opportunity to jump from his side, and then hooked the ball in front of the bottom line, and did not pass the ball immediately, but continued to dribble the ball to the penalty area!
Samuel pounced, Li Yongle also reflexively chased after him, Crewe looked at the penalty area, but passed the football to Gasballoni on the outside of the penalty area, Zanetti patronized and entangled with Crewe, forgetting that Gasballoni was not watched. When he reacted and pounced back, Gasballoni passed.
It was a cross against the turf, which Gasballoni pumped and the ball was fast.
It's Zhang Jun again! Fall to the ground in front of Materach and shoot!
This time Toldo didn't give Fiorentina another corner, he fell to the ground and held the ball firmly.
Although the goal was not scored, Fiorentina's flowing attack still made the applause of the Frankie Stadium for a long time.
"Great! Super! Wonderful! The Sky TV commentator used three adjectives in a row, "In the face of two people scrambling, to be able to calmly make such a move, Crewe once again let us appreciate pure football skills!" Thank you Florence for bringing Crewe to Italy! ”
Li Yan turned his head to look at the big screen, where he was still replaying the scene where Kru got rid of Zanetti and Li Yongle just now. The cheers of the fans rose higher and higher.
He looked down at his watch again, it was thirty-two minutes in the first half, Inter Milan only had a pitiful shot on goal after taking the lead again, while Fiorentina had nineteen shots on goal, and the possession rate reached 57%, the only regret was that Fiorentina attacked like a tide but did not stop the ball, they were still 0:1 behind.
And to the disappointment of many Chinese reporters, the expected fateful showdown between Zhang Jun and Li Yongle did not appear, and although the confrontation between Crewe and Li Yongle was also very good, it could not satisfy the media and readers, after all, such a confrontation has no background and lacks some "legendary". Zhang Junfeng and Li Yongle guarded, this is an orthodox duel in their eyes.
Italians, I really don't understand the amorous ......
※※※
As the first half draws to a close, if Fiorentina can't equalise, the momentum is likely to be lost after a half-time break.
Zhang Jun recognized Materach's stupid big suddenness, and he bullied the other party to turn slowly, slowly, move slowly, and realize slowly.
Li Yongle was anxious to watch from the sidelines, and Materach obviously couldn't keep up with Zhang Jun's rhythm, but he was helplessly dragged by Crewe, and he was powerless.
"Fiorentina hit the net in a row! But our defence withstood the pressure and still led 1-0 so far! Inter Milan's official commentator said proudly.
He had just said this for three minutes, in the forty-first minute of the first half.
Florence launched another offensive, as is customary.
Zhang Jun received the ball, and he rushed towards the Inter penalty area with the ball. Veron wanted to come up and stop him, his left shoulder sank, Belon thought he was going to break through from that side, and quickly turned his body over, but Zhang Jun flicked the ball to the right with his right foot, accelerated and rushed past Veron, his speed made Belon even give up the idea of chasing.
Zhang Jun, who easily broke through Veron, followed the penalty area and Materazzi blocked him.
Zhang Jun's trip to Beron was a little big, Materlaci put on a good stance, and seeing that Zhang Jun's trip was big, he decided to step forward and jam the position and break Zhang Jun's ball.
But Zhang Jun had no intention of slowing down and avoiding at all, he followed the momentum and continued to move the ball to the right, and he swept less than a meter in front of Materacci like a wind, and Materacci's stern posture became a ridiculous moment with only symbolic meaning but no practical value.
Zhang Jun, who had walked past Materaczi, was very fast, and he stepped into the penalty area, and Cordoba didn't have time to reach out and pull it.
Toldo strikes!
Zhang Jun faked a shot with his left foot, but Toldo believed it and fell to the ground. Zhang Jun then dunked the ball to the right with his left foot, but Toldo reacted quickly and pounced on the football again!
Zhang Jun made another trip with his right foot, walked the football away from Toldo's hand, and bypassed Toldo, who was in the air, and shot with his right foot when the angle was small!
Li Yongle rushed back to save the day, but he was still a step too late, and before he could shovel the ball and kick it out of the goal, the ball had already crossed the goal line!
The referee's whistle and gestures showed that the goal was valid, in fact, Frankie did not wait for the referee to announce the decision, and after Zhang Jun passed Toldo, there were already cheers, and now the cheers are several times louder than just now.
"Hooray! Zhang Jun! Banzai! Florence! "The Chinese name that used to be awkward is now very familiar in their mouths, because they have shouted it countless times.
Zhang Jun also looked very excited after the goal, and when the fans shouted the last sentence, he stood by the corner flag, raised his arms and shouted together: "Long live!" Florence! ”
Competing with Li Yongle has always made him very excited. There were so many shots on goal in the first half, which also made him a little depressed, and now he can finally vent.
Sabato also jumped up from his seat with his arms raised and shouted, "It's fucking wonderful!" ”
Zhang Jun shrugged at Li Yongle after celebrating the goal: If you want to win, you have to ask me if I agree.
Li Yongle was expressionless and did not say anything.
Fiorentina and Inter Milan ended the first half 1-1.
※※※
At halftime, Li Yongle took the initiative to make his request to Mancini: "Coach, let me keep an eye on Zhang Jun." I am very familiar with him, and Zhang Jun is in the right position with me. ”
In fact, Mancini was also very dissatisfied with Materaczi's performance in the first half, and was repeatedly broken through by Zhang Jun, which is the performance of the main central defender in a world-class giant? But he still has some concerns. "You're going to defend against Zhang Jun, who will be in charge of Crewe?"
"Coach, the core of Fiorentina's attack is Zhang Jun, and the really threatening attacks are all made by him, and Crewe will always pass the ball to him. As long as we stop him, 70 percent of their attacks are no threat. ”
Mancini listened and fell into deep thought, he needed to weigh it in his heart. He had always felt Crewe before; Lee is the core of Fiorentina's attack, but judging from today's first half, Zhang Jun, who is behind Pazzini and bursts in front of Crewe, may be the real core.
"Okay." He thought about it clearly, "In the second half, Li, you guard against Zhang Jun, don't let him break through as unscrupulously as in the first half." As for Crewe, Javier you take care of it a little. ”
The two nodded, and the others had no opinion, except for Materach, who felt like he was being ignored. When making this decision, the head coach didn't ask him how he felt, he was the one who defended Zhang Jun in the first half, at least ask Zhang Jun's characteristics, habits, etc., but no one paid attention to him.
※※※
Sabato was pleased with his team's performance in the first half: "I told you that Materaci was a piece of shit, how? I'm not wrong, right? But in the second half you don't expect that many chances. Mancini wasn't an idiot, he saw it in the first half and he would have made adjustments for sure. But no matter how we adjust, we have only one goal, to keep scoring goals and winning. Zhang Jun, no matter who defends you, you have only one goal: to break through and score. I'm putting you in a backward position just to show your breakthrough ability, don't let me down. ”
Zhang Jun nodded, he was very cool in the first half, but he actually wanted to have a one-on-one with Li Yongle, he wanted to see how much he and Li Yongle had improved.
There were times when he really wanted to switch places with Crewe. Materach couldn't lift his fighting spirit at all, and he was as boring as a stake. He wished Mancini had adjusted.
※※※
Li Yan wrote in his notebook: "The first half was very exciting, the audience was in a high mood and cheered constantly. But it's not the kind of excitement that we Chinese reporters want to see, Li Yongle is the midfielder, Zhang Jun is the striker, and there seems to be no intersection between them......"
The Chinese journalists around me were indeed a bit listless. Jang Jun's goal and Crewe's dribble were beautiful. But it is not as good as the fateful duel between Zhang Jun and Li Yongle, which can attract people's attention more. People are always very interested in the fatalism that exists in novels and movies, of course, there is indeed a taste of fatalism between Zhang Jun and Li Yongle, as the eyes and mouthpieces of the people, the media must carry forward this fatalism, and make everyone think that they are natural opponents, competing with each other, but cherishing each other, including the parties themselves.
But the Italians didn't care about this, Mancini actually arranged for Li Yongle to go to see Crewe and handed Zhang Jun over to Materach.
Sharp-eyed reporters noticed this detail: after Zhang Jun celebrated his goal, he shrugged his shoulders to Li Yongle. They thought Zhang Jun was saying: Look, buddy, your guards are so bad, it's hard for me to get in. Why didn't you defend me?
And Li Yongle was expressionless: I would like to think about it too, but Mancini has the final say in this matter.
※※※
Not long after the start of the second half, everyone noticed a change.
Zhang Jun took the ball, and he turned around and wanted to break through, but he didn't turn his body this time, because the ball was blocked by one foot, he stumbled, and then stretched out his foot to hook the ball, and then he saw the owner of the foot clearly.
"Li Yongle?!" Zhang Jun couldn't believe it.
"Li Yongle!?" Chinese reporters in the stands shouted excitedly.
"You went to see your Crewe, what are you doing here?" Crewe was ten meters away on the left.
"Hey, my job in the second half is to contain you." Li Yongle said with a hard foot, and kicked Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun pounced forward, but the ball remained in place.
"Hey, Zhang Jun, I've seen all your tricks I don't know how many times. If you think about me, come up with something new! Li Yongle successfully cut off Zhang Jun's ball, and then passed it out, he turned back to Zhang Jun who was still lying on the ground and said.
Zhang Jun spat on the grass clippings and jumped up vigorously: "Then it's as you wish!" ”
At this time, he felt that this game was full of fun, and the one-on-one situation between him and Li Yongle had not happened on the court for many, many years. Since he and Yang Pan went to the Netherlands......
At this time, in the press box, Chinese colleagues also discussed.
"Hey, Li Yongle didn't leave his post without permission, right? Crewe is still on the other side! ”
"I don't know, maybe Mancini arranged it on purpose?"
"Oh? Could it be that he is an Italian who also reads our Chinese newspapers? ”
"Won't you find out if you keep observing! Once by chance, twice by chance, but three or four times is not as simple as chance. ”
Li Yan smelled a hint of excitement that made him excited, he couldn't hear the conversation between the two on the field, but his sense of smell told him that the exciting moment was coming.
※※※
The second time, Zhang Jun took the ball head-on and faced Li Yongle again. And Crewe stood behind and looked around him, there was not a single Inter player, and he didn't know the situation yet. What the hell is going on here? In the first half, he still had to be one-on-two, and now no one cares?
Zhang Jun was making feints, and when he faced Materach, he didn't even bother to do feints, just rely on speed.
He pedaled a bicycle, Li Yongle was unmoved, he had to think again.
"I told you, Jun Zhang. Come out with something new, otherwise it will ......" Li Yongle took advantage of Zhang Jun's push away from the ball and was about to force a breakthrough, he leaned in suddenly, collided with Zhang Jun with his body, stretched out his long legs, and shoveled the ball out. “…… Otherwise, you don't want to do anything in the second half! ”
“**!” Zhang Jun scolded excitedly, when did Li Yongle, who lost to him in the National Olympics before, become so powerful? His thigh was still hurt just now, it's really unceremonious...... It seems that Inter Milan's youth training is really worthy of the first place in Serie A, and Li Yongle is making rapid progress. No wonder you can squeeze out Davis and put C; Zanetti and Cambiasso both squeezed onto the bench and eventually became the heart of Inter's midfield, with even big names like Veron at the service of him.
For the third time, Zhang Jun faced Li Yongle.
Now everyone can see what this change is.
"Li Yongle is responsible for defending Zhang Jun! Oh, great! The two of them finally got right! Chinese reporters cheered excitedly.
"Damn! Does he not care about Crewe? Sabato glanced at Mancini, "Zhang! Pass the ball to Crewe! ”
※※※
"I have a question." Zhang Jun stepped on the ball, Li Yongle was ready and did not kick easily.
"Say."
"You're here to defend me, what should Crewe do?" As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed his heel hard, and the football was passed to Crewe, who was following behind.
Crewe had just stepped on the ball when Risanaetti rushed out with a diagonal stab and made an unmistakable tackle to shovel the ball away, leaving Crewe to the ground and signaling the referee for a foul, but no one paid attention to him.
"That's the answer." Li Yongle dropped this sentence and followed as fast as he could.
Zanetti passed the ball to him, and he dribbled forward.
"You're finally up...... Mascherano was in a panic waiting in the back in the first half, and now he finally has a chance to play one-on-one with Li Yongle.
Li Yongle changed direction slightly and wanted to break through with the ball from the diagonal line, but Mascherano immediately clung to it, so that he could not make any moves.
Li Yongle had no choice but to stop suddenly, turn around, and stop the football, while Mascherano stood up to him and didn't let him turn around.
"I'm not Zhang Jun, I have to pass ......you," Li Yongle muttered in his heart, "No matter how tightly you defend, you are only guarding against me, how can you defend me when I pass the ball?" ”
Thinking about it, he crossed the football to Solari on the wing.
Boos erupted.
Thankfully, Solari didn't make a mistake this time and he sent the ball into the box. Adriano stepped in front of Kyle and prepared to head the ball, but Frei struck in time to punch the ball out.
After Li Yongle curbed Zhang Jun's attack, Inter Milan's attack also improved. It was a threatening counter-attack after their steal. Mancini's adjustment is immediate! ”
"That's ...... so," Sabato said to himself, "Lee will defend Zhang Jun, and as soon as Crewe gets the ball, Zanetti in midfield will press up." But it's funny, if the ball is given to Gasballoni, who are they going to defend? The latter I could have Kru lead Zanetti to the middle and the ball to the left......"
Sabato had just finished chanting when Inter Milan made a substitution. Recoba, who was inactive, got off and replaced him with Cambiaso. Veron moved to the right, Cambiaso played at the back and Zanetti returned to right-back.
"What the!" Sabato looked at Inter's change and cursed. Mancini is now an adjustment to the tactics he had just envisioned.
Cambiaso's defense of Crewe, although not as good as Li Yongle, is better than putting Zanetti in the middle and leaving the right side empty. And once Li Yongle freezes Zhang Jun, Fiorentina's attack will be much less threatening.
Before Sabato's plan could be executed, he was stillborn. No wonder he's upset.
"Shit, Mancini bastard...... He really intends to completely strangle our offensive line. Pazzini was targeted by Samuel, Zhang Jun was targeted by Lee, and Crewe was Cambiasso...... Want to block Fiorentina's attack? Okay, I'd like to see how many of you can put into the defense......" Sabato rushed to the sidelines and yelled at the back line: "Xiang Tao! Ramsay! Which damn one made you huddle back? Give me an assist! Be positive! ”
Xiang Tao rolled his eyes, that damn one was Sabato. Before the game, Sabato was worried about Inter Milan's attack, so he asked the two full-backs to defend the back and not assist easily.
The assists of Fiorentina's two full-backs are also a feature of their attack. Especially Xiang Tao on the left, there is really a peak period Robert; Carlos's style, up and down, offensive and defensive, spares no effort. It's just that Sabato sometimes deliberately curbs this ability of his.
After Xiang Tao received Sabato's instructions, when the team passed the ball back to his feet, he would suddenly insert it as long as the timing was right.
For example, this time, when he got the ball, he was already standing on the halfway line, Gasballoni was on the inside, and Veron was pressing towards him.
He passed the ball directly to Gasballoni, and then began to sprint in a straight line, Gasballoni had a good relationship with Zhang Jun, so he naturally knew what he wanted to do, and without saying a word, he passed the ball over.
Facing Zanetti, who was waiting for him, Xiang Tao did not slow down, just poked the ball again, and then took advantage of the time difference between Zanetti and turned around.
Zanetti is really old, if he is a little younger, how can he allow Xiang Tao to play the ball so simply and rudely in front of him?
Xiang Tao, who got rid of Zanetti, didn't dare to slack off, for fear that Zanetti would turn around and catch up, so he hurriedly crossed.
Zhang Jun and Li Yongle are entangled with each other, in the battle for the header, Zhang Jun is confident to win Li Yongle, although he is five centimeters shorter, but he bounces well and will be stuck. But Li Yongle is not stupid, he doesn't let Zhang Jun jump at all.
Zhang Jun struggled desperately, but in the end he just barely jumped up and didn't hit the ball at all.
"I said, Zhang Jun, come up with something new."
Zhang Jun shook off the guard who was still holding on to his clothes by Li Yongle: "Soon it will be as you wish." ”
Pazzini, who followed up, deflected the ball wide, and Fiorentina unfortunately ended the round of attack.
※※※
The ball was passed to Zhang Jun's feet again, and he also faced Li Yongle again.
"Fourth ......," Li Yan counted in the stands.
Zhang Jun took the ball, Li Yongle followed carefully, and was not in a hurry to kick, without any flaws.
Forwards hate this kind of defender. Think of Thuram at the '98 World Cup in France, no matter what methods Denilson and Ronaldo used, he was indifferent, but as long as you get your foot off the ball, he sees an opportunity and it's a kick. As a result, Thuram earned a nickname in the world of football today as the only defender who can break Ronaldo's goal one-on-one.
That's a remarkable feat in '98. At that time, Ronaldo was just an "alien" who could deceive the defenders when he moved his upper body.
If Li Yongle doesn't move first, Zhang Jun won't be able to break through, and if he relies on speed to rush hard, Li Yongle's speed is not slow.
It seems that he is going to show some real effort.
Zhang Jun glanced ahead, there was still a little bit into the penalty area, and he didn't have much space.
Li Yongle felt Zhang Jun's hand pushing him hard, and at the same time looking at the frequency of his feet, as if he was about to shoot. He began to stare at the ball, and sure enough, Zhang Jun picked up his left foot, which was not a normal leg swing in running, but a prelude to shooting, and he suddenly became nervous.
Seeing Zhang Jun's feet, Li Yongle almost had the idea of stretching out his feet to block it, but suddenly a thought flashed in his mind: Maybe it was Zhang Jun's feint? It's all too common for strikers to fake shots and break through.
Sure enough, Zhang Jun saw that Li Yongle was unmoved, but just shook it for a while, and he swung his left foot down and stopped at the side of the ball.
"Hey! As expected! ”
Zhang Jun slammed his feet for the second time, but Li Yongle was still unmoved, which was really another false shake. Two dries in a row were completed in a very short period of time, and neither of them had yet entered the box, but they were only one step away from it.
The third time, Zhang Jun picked his left foot again, but Li Yongle was still unmoved. But Zhang Jun changed, when he swung his left foot down again, he slammed the ball back to his right foot, and the ball rushed directly into the penalty area in front of him due to the rebound force.
Zhang Jun used his right foot as a wall and made a two-by-one! Li Yongle didn't expect it at all, and the whole person was stunned. And Zhang Jun's right foot exerted force, and he had already rushed into the penalty area like lightning!
Materaci had long wanted to prove to Mancini that he could defend against Zhang Jun, and this time the opportunity came, Li Yongle was passed like a fool, and it was time for him to step up.
He saw that Zhang Jun was far away from the ball, and he was close to the ball, and stretched out his foot to tackle, intending to shovel the ball out.
But after being repeatedly broken through by Zhang Jun with speed, why didn't he remember his surname for a long time?
The foot had just stretched out, and Zhang Jun had already hit the front of him in an instant, and with a flash of his right foot, he swept the ball away. Materach couldn't contain his foot, and shoveled directly on the heel of Zhang Jun's right foot, Zhang Jun's feet were weak, and he fell into the penalty area like a glider diving!
"Penalty!" Li Yan couldn't help but scream.
And Frankie was shouting the word from the stands, and they all thought it was a 100 per cent sure penalty.
Even the Inter radio commentator sighed: "This ball...... Marco is too impatient, as long as he gets stuck in the position, Zhang Jun won't have a chance, he doesn't actually have to tackle at all......"
But!
But the referee's whistle was not heard, and he acquiesced in the continuation of the game!
Zanetti, who was still stunned just now, hurriedly rushed over and kicked the ball out of the sideline. Fiorentina's throw-in!
There was a huge boo over the Frankie Stadium, ten times bigger than the boos of Solari or any of the Inter players!
