PS: First of all, I would like to ask you for a recommendation vote here, and please support the free book, thank you~
Capello's calm expression on the sidelines calmed the Fiorentina players, who seemed a little impatient after failing to take advantage of the scoring opportunities twice in a row. Then Vieri and others, who reacted to the taste, laughed at themselves in their hearts, thinking that they were all people who had experienced so many big scenes, many of them had even participated in the Champions Cup final two or three times, how could they still be nervous like this in a league with Inter Milan?
Do your best to play the game and follow the manager's tactical plan, so that even if the final result is not satisfactory, they can face the fans who support them!
As a result, the calm Fiorentina players on the field of attack became more and more fierce, even so fierce that Inter Milan's counterattack can only rely on Baggio and Moreno, because Barty also had to retreat to the midfield to participate in the defense, the Argentine God of War in the counterattack is not very fast, his strength lies in the ability to attack in the positional battle, if you play a counterattack, you can only use it as a pillar in the front court, and then you can form a second wave of offensive in the counterattack with your teammates.
It's a pity that Inter Milan's counterattack is only the wave composed of Baggio and Moreno, and coach Simeone's understanding of offensive tactics is still at the level of letting the players perform their own duties, and of course he can't think of making players in other positions, such as the back and even the fullbacks, form a three-dimensional and multi-layered offensive wave.
Simeone sat in the dugout, constantly figuring out how to recover from the disadvantage. Originally, he was not too worried about his team falling into a passive situation on the field, because when he coached Inter Milan, he rarely took the initiative on the field when facing strong teams, and always relied on defensive counterattacks to win games. But now, in the face of Fiorentina's pressing attacking style of wave after wave, Simeone feels that this time his side is really a bit hanging.
Since the defense is tight, it is necessary to make some moves on the offensive end to reduce the defensive pressure of the team. Anyone who knows a little bit about football knows this simple truth, but it is difficult for Simeone to put it into practice on the pitch now.
Because, Simeone's monotonous tactical arrangement on the offensive end makes the current Inter Milan have no way to use offense to reduce the burden on defense. With a complete reliance on the individual performance of the stars, Fiorentina's well-developed defensive system can successfully stop most of Inter Milan's attacks, and every counterattack they play after cutting off the ball will make Inter Milan's defensive pressure become more and more intense!
In the 39th minute, Zambrotta intercepted Baggio's ball for Djokaef at the back and quickly passed the ball to Redondo, who took the ball and sent a through ball again.
However, this time Redondo did not choose a long pass, but a mid-distance pass, and the ball fell directly to the feet of Ronaldo, who quietly moved to the middle. The alien, who has been training in Serie A for several years, has become quite cunning, and in the face of the two-man defense of Winter and Simeone, he did not choose to force the defense in front of him with the ball, but after making a feint to flash a little space, he directly passed the ball diagonally to Vieri in front.
After receiving the ball, Vieri leaned back hard, and the huge force directly squeezed Gallant, who was marking behind him, out of his original position, and took the ball to complete the turn. Bergomi, who was following behind, rushed over to make up for Gallant, but Vieri didn't waver at all because of Bergomi's appearance, and took advantage of the gap he had just squeezed out to decisively volley with his left foot!
Pagliuca went down in time to save the ball from the bottom line with a nice side save for Fiorentina's corner.
Vieri frustrated his arm, he felt very good about shooting today, he thought he could score a few more goals in this game, but he didn't expect Pagliuca on the opposite side to be in such a bad state, and he was able to make such wonderful saves in a row.
"Haha, Antonio, it looks like we're in luck." Seeing Pagliuca block Fiorentina's attack with another wonderful save, Moratti couldn't help but feel good, although the score on the field is still 1-1, "With Pagliuca in such a brave state, I think the victory of this game should already belong to Inter Milan." ”
"Hehe, Massimo, it's a little too early to assert the outcome of the game, right?" For Moratti's show-off, Zhuang Mingge naturally wanted to counterattack, although he was also quite depressed about Pagliuca's continuous blocking of Fiorentina players' shots, "Now there are nearly six minutes before the end of the first half, and there is still a whole second half, with Fiorentina's attacking power, a mere Pagliuca can't stop the Purple Lily's steps to win." ”
"Cut, you're crazy too, aren't you? You must know that a good goalkeeper can decide a game at a critical moment, and I believe that Pagliuca will definitely lead Inter Milan to this victory! ”
You two, are you children? Looking at Zhuang Mingge and Moratti who were bickering in front of them, Karin, who was sitting behind the two, thought with a black line.
The task of taking corners was given to Redondo, whose footwork and passing accuracy could make a big difference in corners. In the Inter penalty area, Vieri and Effenberg have already rushed into the highs, and they have played a very important role in Fiorentina's corner kick attacking tactics.
For Vieri and Effenberg to defend, but when Stam and Nesta, two tall men, also ran into the Inter penalty area to join in the fun, the Inter players suddenly felt a lot of pressure - how come you Fiorentina have so many tall guys?
After all, among Inter Milan's starting eleven, only Gallant, Barty and goalkeeper Pagliuca are more than 1.85 meters tall, while on Fiorentina's side, Vieri, Effenberg, Stam and Nesta exceed this value, and this is not counting Redondo, who is responsible for taking corners, and Toldo, who is in charge of goal.
In addition, Ronaldo and Ljungberg and other players who are less than 1.85 meters tall, but are not much worse than the Inter Milan defenders in height, also ran into the penalty area and ambushed, which further increased the defensive difficulty of the Inter Milan players!
After hearing the referee blow the whistle to take a corner kick, Redondo observed the situation in the Inter Milan penalty area, and immediately passed the ball to the front of the penalty area!
Redondo's corner kick is very fast and has a large arc, which makes Pagliuca have a height of 1.90 meters and a good arm span, and he does not dare to intercept the ball halfway, for fear that the opponent will miss the empty goal by the opponent.
At this moment, Effenberg squeezed away Simeone, who was pestering him, jumped high and met the flying ball, but he did not shake his head directly to the goal, but rubbed his head and pushed the ball towards Vieri's position!
Seeing the ball flying in Vieri's direction, Nesta and Stam crossed at the same time to help Vieri block the other Inter players! Vieri, on the other hand, used his body to squeeze away Gallant behind him again, and then met the ball with a punch!
Faced with such a close-range header, Pagliuca, who saved Inter Milan several times in the game, could only sigh this time.
Two to one! Fiorentina are leading again!
