Chapter 62: The Sharpest Spear

Inter fans weren't too worried about Lazio's attack.

After the first half, they are now confident in their team's defence.

Lazio are the most attacking team in all Serie A.

Unless they're not in good form themselves, it's hard to stop them from scoring.

But in today's game, Lazio's form is clearly not bad.

In the face of their indiscriminate bombardment for the full 45 minutes of the first half, Inter Milan did not lose an inch of ground, which will certainly give confidence to Inter fans.

Lazio's attacks have been so ferocious before that they haven't been able to break through their goals, and this time will be no exception.

Despite the loud cheers of the Lazio fans at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the Inter fans were not at all worried. They sat in their seats, waiting for the end of another Lazio attack.

Even Mourinho didn't think Lazio's attack was a big deal.

Although they are a counter-attack, most of the Inter players are in their own defensive positions, so what is the use of such a counter-attack?

He didn't even get up from his seat.

Chang Sheng, on the other hand, stood up from his squatting position and stared at the court with some nervousness.

He was keenly aware of the opportunity.

He wants his players to see the opportunity as well.

That's because Lazio is counter-attacking, they have space to sprint and run, although this space is not much, but it is enough for Lazio to take advantage of.

As long as you run, you can create a scoring opportunity that belongs to Lazio!

Other teams may just run more and more chaotically, but Lazio won't!

Changsheng has such self-confidence.

Luka Modric received a pass from the back, and he turned and moved the ball to the front, while completing the turn and adjustment himself.

Just after he turned around. He saw the Inter players in front of him and it was obvious that Inter Milan had split into two lines in front of him, a forward line and a back line.

But these two lines are not very closely linked. There is a gap between them.

Perhaps this is Lazio's chance?

Modric thought to himself.

But how do you take advantage of this opportunity?

He saw Cavani, who had been pulled from the mid-peak position to the ribs.

He passed the ball.

But that's not what Cavani thinks. He didn't know either, so he had to gamble on himself.

Cavanira came back to catch the ball. It's just to be able to get as close as possible to your teammates.

But in this way, he also turned his back to the direction of the attack, and there was no way to turn around. Because behind him is Inter Milan's captain Zanetti, who is keeping a close eye on him.

Zanetti is experienced and experienced. It's not easy to deceive.

It was too difficult for him to go it alone with his back to the ball and get past Zanetti.

Cavani opted for a pass.

However, he did not pass the football to Luka Modric, who was cutting forward.

Modric was flanked by Cambiaso.

Cambiaso saw Modric step forward after passing the ball, and knew that he had to play a one-two with Cavani, so naturally he couldn't easily receive the ball and pass, and he had to follow him.

So he followed.

But Cavani didn't pass the ball back to Modric, but to Cazorla next door.

After passing the ball, Cavani turned and ran forward. Zanetti goes to pounce on Cazorla.

Edinson Cavani handed over to the centre-back behind him.

Cazorla didn't stop the ball and passed the ball again before Zanetti could get in front of him.

This time it was a diagonal pass of 15 meters, and the football gave Gotze who stole the middle.

After Cavani tugged on the ribs. Götze made it to the middle.

Barzaretti, meanwhile, cut into the ribs from the wing.

Lazio move in this way both offensively and defensively, and must ensure that the distance between each player cannot exceed 15 meters.

You can't see a situation where the players up front are running forward and the players at the back are standing still.

Each player can have at least three points on the pitch.

So Lazio's players are not afraid of scrambling.

Cazorla passed the ball and moved laterally towards Gotze.

Looks like he's going to have more of a connection with Gotze.

Cambiaso followed Modric for a while, then did not continue.

Because he was afraid of being taken out of his defensive zone by Modric.

Now Cazorla is leaning into the middle, which makes him sure that the real purpose of Modric's forward insertion is to take him away from the midfield position and provide Cazorla with opportunities.

So he stopped tracking Modric and turned to pounce on Cazorla.

When Cazorla came running, Götze simply passed the ball to him and then turned and stepped forward.

Cazorla did not pass the football to him, but to Barzaretti in the ribs.

Then he sped around the ribs and down the wing.

If Barzaretti had played the ball wide for a point, it would have been a good cross from the wing.

Inter Milan had to take care of that side.

In this way, after some passing and running, Inter Milan's originally compact defensive line was pulled apart, and there were more gaps and spaces.

However, Barzaretti did not pass the football to Cazorla.

Instead, it goes straight to the middle of the road.

But his pass was fast!

If he was going to give Gotze, who was only five or six metres away from him, the ball was clearly miscrossed.

If it is difficult for Gotze to control the football all at once, then he will miss his best chance. In the penalty area, the player's skill in possession is very demanding.

※※※

"Barzaretti's pass...... The power is a little big! ”

Although the power is a little big and the speed is a little fast, everyone still focuses on Gotze in the middle lane.

Whether it's a defender or a goalkeeper, or someone watching the game on the sidelines.

Gotze did run for the ball.

Samuel was on Barzaretti's side just now, so now it's Córdoba who defends Gotze in the middle.

He met Gotze, intending to block Gotze's shot if he were going to shoot. If Gotze doesn't shoot, he has to break through with the ball, or do something else. Then you have to keep him and trap him.

Gotze picked up his right leg on the run, which reinforced the conviction that he was going to take the pass and shoot.

Córdoba even planned to block it in advance.

But when the football really rolls over. Gotze's shot didn't hit the ball!

He pulled it out. But it went around the top of the football!

The soccer ball flew right under his feet!

It's so fast that you don't have time to react!

Córdoba stiffened as he watched the ball pass in front of his eyes. In fact, he can poke the football out with just a stretch of his leg.

But inertia made his body stiffen, and at this moment, he couldn't make any movements!

※※※

"Gotze-!" The narrator shouted.

But it soon became clear that they were wasting expressions.

Because football drilled past Gotze and Córdoba!

Fabio. Caressa didn't excitedly chant Gotze's name at first. Because both intuition and experience tell him that this situation is not right.

If Barzaretti's pass had been to Gotze, it would have been a mistake.

But will Lazio's players make a mistake at this time?

Their previous series of passing runs were very accurate, and this time it was the time when they were closest to the fatal blow, how could they make a mistake.

He thinks there might be something else going on?

So he waited.

waited for him to wait for the opportunity.

Really!

Gotze is a cover!

He missed the football!

He looked at the field, and although he couldn't see the back number clearly, he was from this running route and his running position. Still guessed who really appeared on the football route.

"Luca. Modric!! ”

He shouted.

This time, no one was called!

Luka Modric picked up his right foot, spread his arms and gestured to the left side of the goal.

But when he touches the football. The ankle suddenly deflected, and the ball flew to the right!

Goalkeeper Cesar was completely deceived by Modric's feints, and at such a close distance, it was impossible for him to change his center of gravity immediately, even if he was possessed by God!

So he could only tilt to the left, but his head turned to the right, and watched the football bounce against the turf and roll into the goal......

※※※

"Modric!! How did he end up there?! Shot...... The ball is in!! ”

"No offside! Strike! A beautiful front plug connection! ”

"Just when everyone thought Götze was the final blow, he fooled everyone! Luca. Modric ran around in a circle and ended up in the most crucial place when he should have been! When he was here, he didn't even have an Inter player next to him! The goal seems to be logical!! ”

The various commentators cheered.

"Lazio equalised!! At the sixty-seventh minute! 1:1, and now the two sides are back on the same running line! ”

When the head coach Mourinho, who was originally sitting in the coach's box, saw this scene, he slammed his backhand on the plastic baffle next to the coach's box, and the baffle shook and shook, reflecting Mourinho's expression very hideously.

The wall he had carefully organized was torn open in this way!

And the squatting on the ground jumped up!

Then raise your arms and shout.

Behind him, the other coaches rushed out of their seats and hugged him tightly from behind. The strength of the force almost pushed Chang Sheng to the ground.

Modric led the way to the corner flag area, holding out a finger and pointing diagonally at the sky.

The other players on the pitch opened their arms and ran towards Modric, who had scored.

Handanovic, the farthest goalkeeper, excitedly threw a two-handed somersault in front of his goal.

The cheers at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome reached the most!

And they did!

Lazio did it!

The sharpest spear in Serie A has finally pierced the strongest shield in Serie A!
