Chapter 119: Good News and Bad News
May 29, Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't want to be empty of the four big Inter Milan for the last bit of glory, gambled all and faced Palermo.
Palermo had only reached the Coppa Italia final in 1974 and 1979, but had never won the trophy. So in this game, they are also in high spirits and strive to achieve a breakthrough of zero.
In the just-concluded Serie A, Palermo are in 8th place, just two points behind Juventus. Their head coach Rossi has made a lot of contributions to this result, and Palermo is also full of strong players, including experienced stars such as Cassani, Barzaretti, Riverani, Nocerino and Mikcoli, as well as Pastorere, Sirigu and Ezequiel? Muñoz, Abel? Hernandez is such a star of hope.
Although on paper, they are a big cut behind defending champions Inter Milan, but the major media feel that Palermo can cause Inter Milan a lot of problems in the game.
And that's exactly what happened.
Shi Hao, who was sitting on the bench, looked at the stalemate on the field, and endured it without yawning.
Sneijder suffered a minor injury in the last league game, and although the problem was not serious, it was evident that his movement on the pitch today was not good, and he frowned and paused from time to time.
Sneijder's dumb fire made the entire Inter Milan midfield a little out of control, Motta, Stankovic and Cambiaso all have some organizational skills, but they are not as good as Sneijder, and the last pass is far inferior, the double strikers Milito and Eto'o have done little in the front. So the game played for dozens of minutes, and Inter Milan never opened the situation.
On the contrary, it was the backline led by Lucio and Zivo who made a couple of mistakes today and almost lost to Palermo.
Yuto Nagatomo, who scored a goal in the previous game, continued to start at left-back, while captain Zanetti returned to his familiar right-back position.
As time passed, the strong Inter Milan finally gained the upper hand, and the immature Pastore was not able to bargain from Cambiaso's feet for the time being.
On the contrary, Micoli, who is already in his prime, has repeatedly found a gap between Lucio and Zivo, who have begun to decline, with his dexterity and excellent foot skills, and threatened Inter Milan's goal on several occasions.
Lucio, who is 1.88 meters tall, and Zivo, who is 1.84 meters tall, are frequently teased by Micoli, who is 1.68 meters tall, and they are also embarrassed.
In the 34th minute, Sneijder finally shone brightly, and his assist gave Samuel Eto'o the opener and the game began to get into the rhythm of Inter.
In the second half, Inter Milan deliberately slowed down the tempo and used their strong midfield control to keep Palermo exhausted.
In the 58th minute, Samuel Eto'o scored again, and Inter Milan led 2-0.
But then Mikoli took advantage of Zivo's mistake and went down in the six-yard box to salute a point.
The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and Sneijder was injured in a scramble and asked for a substitution. Leonardo's gaze slowly swept over the bench, and finally stopped on Shi Hao: "Shi, warm up immediately." ”
I'm sorry, Grandma, I didn't curse you...... Shi Hao silently got up and began to warm up, trying not to let a smile appear on his face.
In the 64th minute, Shi Hao came off the bench and brought Leonardo's latest instructions: the formation was changed to 4231, Milito rushed forward, Eto'o changed to the left winger, Shi Hao was the right winger, and Stankovic moved forward.
Due to injuries, Stankovic, who has made few appearances this season, was eager to show his talent in front of his coach and fans, so he played a little impatiently, causing some confusion in Inter's midfield after Sneijder's departure.
However, Stankovic quickly made people forget about his poor offensive organization with two high-quality long-range shots, and although he did not score, he left Sirigu in two cold sweats.
And Shi Hao was in trouble after he got on the field. He was joined by Barzaretti, a 28-year-old Italian who had been selected for Italy's Under-20 youth team but never made up for the senior national team. However, he has been in excellent form this season and will hopefully represent the Azzurri at next year's European Championships.
The characteristics of this player are that he doesn't have any characteristics. The speed is average, a little slower than Shi Hao, but not too slow. It's not bad to be strong, at least stronger than Shi Hao. The skills are average, and the steals are average, but he, a player with no characteristics, has nothing to say.
Whenever Shi Hao took the ball, he stuck up like kraft candy, using both hands and feet, but he was always on the edge of fouling and not fouling, and the referee was not very easy to judge.
Although Shi Hao could get past him, he couldn't get rid of him, and it didn't take long for him to pounce on him again and continue to cause trouble for Shi Hao.
Shi Hao was forced by him to be anxious, and once when he pulled out the ball, he couldn't help but raise his elbow.
"Tick!"
No matter what innocent glances Shi Hao made, the referee who ran over still showed him a yellow card mercilessly.
Shi Hao had no choice but to walk back dejectedly, while warning himself not to be impulsive again, now there are still ten or twenty minutes before the end of the game, don't eat another yellow card.
However, Shi Hao is a new force after all, and Barzaretti has been running for seventy minutes, and his physical strength is gradually exhausted.
In the next confrontation, Shi Hao, who gradually became familiar with Barzaretti's routine, began to be able to gain the upper hand.
In the 79th minute, Shi Hao took the ball on the side and stepped on several bicycles in a row, but Barzaretti just sank down and slowly retreated, not moved at all.
At this time, Stankovic stepped forward to answer, and Shi Hao gently pushed with the arch of his right foot...... Barzaretti hurriedly raised his leg to block Shi Hao's passing route, but Shi Hao's leg swept over the football, hooked the ball back with the instep, and broke through past him.
Barzaretti hurriedly caught up, but his speed was already a little slower than Shi Hao, and his physical fitness dropped a lot at this time, so he was thrown farther and farther away by Shi Hao.
During the run, Shi Hao found that Eto'o was rushing into the penalty area, and there was no one around him to defend him, so he hurriedly crossed it.
After Beckham's guidance during this time, his cross improved again, at least the arc was exactly the right one for Eto'o's head.
Samuel Eto'o headed the ball a little, and I didn't know if he wanted to shoot or pass, but the ball fell a little in front of Milito.
Milito, the new king of the small penalty area, naturally did not miss this opportunity, and with a gentle push of the arch of his foot, the football went into the net.
The rest of the game was a goalless affair as Inter Milan defended their Coppa Italia title with a 3-1 win over Palermo.
But with Inter Milan playing in the European Championship, Cup runners-up Palermo still have a place in the Europa League. Although it is still a pity for them not to achieve a breakthrough of zero, at least it can be talked about.
On the way back to Milan, Shi Hao received a call from Luo Yunhui.
"Dangdangdang, a good news or a bad news, which one do you want to listen to first?"
Shi Hao smiled and said, "Let's listen first." ”
"The club has agreed to change contracts with you for 8,870 euros a week after tax."
"Ah, it's nearly ten times higher, it's amazing, big sister!" Shi Hao was surprised, "My contract hasn't started to be executed yet, so I agree to change it?" ”
"That's your own performance," Luo Yunhui smiled, "and bad news." ”
"With this good news as a foundation, I can bear it, let's say it." From next season, your annual salary will be almost 500,000 euros? Do you want to swipe your credit card to buy a few Hermes bags for Xiyu?
"The bad news is ......"
