"Damn, it's just a little bit!" Watching the Inter Milan players celebrate wildly on the sidelines, Lucio, who tried to clear the goal line at the end of the day but failed, kicked the post angrily, causing the goal to buzz.

"Hey, buddy, calm down." Seeing that Lucio was a little anxious, Buffon hurriedly ran over to comfort his teammate and prevent the other party from doing something uncool because of his hot head, "Isn't it just two goals behind?" We'll just get it back in a moment, so we don't need to be so excited. ”

"Now that we're all down 0-2, it's normal for me to be excited, right?" Lucio spread his hands and said bluntly, "You know, I'm quite similar to Yaap (Stam), both of us are the kind of master who catches blind once we are beaten by an opponent, or you can think of a way for us to prevent this from happening to us again?" Otherwise, I think we'll have a hard time chasing the score. ”

"Why don't you let me try it?" At this time, Stam, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke, "I have been partnering with Alejandro for so many years, and I have learned some skills to fill in the position, and maybe I can play some role." ”

"Jaap, is this all right?" Zambrotta was a little worried, Fiorentina started the game with the two of them for the longest time, and naturally the relationship was closer than the others, "You are not fast, it is a little too reluctant to play a central defender." ”

"You're right, so I think we're going to have to change the way we play a little bit next." As a player who has been trained by the likes of Capello and Heynckes for many years, the thoughtful Stam naturally has a very high level of overall vision and tactical level, "The previous two goals were both between us and Gianluigi [Buffon] who was too far apart, which caused the opponent to have enough space to adjust after breaking through our defence. ”

Stam said as he gestured to his teammates around him to explain his intentions: "So you see, if you move the back line as a whole for a certain distance, then you can limit the possibility of the opponent hitting us directly behind us, or break through our defense to form a single knife, and leave less room for the opponent to move." In this way, Lucio and I can play to our strengths and avoid weaknesses, maximize the advantages of excellent frontal defensive ability, and reduce the possibility of being broken by the opponent to form a single knife. ”

"In that case, then leave the Romanian striker to me." At this time, Gattuso also intervened in this conversation, "If he dares to retreat to the midfield to organize the attack like before, I will definitely let him know how good I am." As for you, it's better not to grab casually, lest your opponent seize the opportunity to form a breakthrough. ”

"Then please, Jannaro." Seeing that Gattuso took the initiative to take on this part of the defensive task, Stam reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a look of relief.

"Hey, boys, have you talked enough?" Just as Stam and the others were about to continue the exchange, the referee's voice came from not far away, "If you don't hurry back to your position, then I'm going to announce the start of the game." If you're pushed straight to the door by your opponent, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand. ”

In this way, under the planning of Stam, the Fiorentina players who have made clear the next tactical play are back in their positions on the pitch, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. And Heynckes did not object to Stam's self-assertion after learning about this, in his opinion, this is part of the player's improvisation in the game, and there is no overstepping.

So, after the resumption of the game, and as they were about to take advantage of the serious holes in Fiorentina's backline, the Inter Milan players who caused a bloody incident at the Frankie Stadium were shocked to find that they were significantly more hindered in attacking than before. Conceicao and Emre, who were in charge of the flank attack, were kindly cared for by Zivo and Zambrotta, and it was much more difficult for them to break through with the ball; Zanetti and Koko were pinned down by Di Natale and Vieri who were constantly wandering in the frontcourt, and they did not dare to press the attack easily for fear of being hit by the purple lily's quick counterattack; Crespo, who scored a brace in the game, was heavily defended by two centre-backs, Lucio and Stam, and his space was extremely limited, making it difficult for him to receive passes from his team-mates, let alone shoot with his feet.

The most critical thing is that after Gattuso gave up his marking of Inter Milan's midfielders and switched to defending Mutu, who frequently retreated to organize attacks, Inter's offensive began to fall apart again. Without Mutu's central playmaking and ball transfer, Emre and Conceicao's breakthroughs on the left and right flanks were difficult to echo on the pitch, and their threat was naturally greatly reduced.

After Inter's attack was suppressed, Fiorentina's counter-attack began to become aggressive. Although the Purple Lily could not pull one back until the referee announced the end of the first half, the team has improved greatly at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and if it continues like this, it is only a matter of time before the goal is scored.

No, just a minute after the start of the second half, Fiorentina seized the opportunity of Emre's pass to launch a quick counterattack, Albertini split the ball in the middle, Di Natale crossed decisively past Koko on the right, Milito, who received in the middle, cleverly knocked the ball between Materazzi's legs and passed to the big Inzaghi who was ambushing him!

Seeing Inzaghi get the ball in the box, Cannavaro's heart trembled, and he pounced on the opponent with his feet. The former Parma captain is naturally very clear about Inzaghi's ability as a teammate of the national team, and he knows that if he lets this dangerous guy get the ball in the penalty area, it will be no different from sitting in ** smoking!

Although Cannavaro's reaction was quick enough, his movements were still a beat slower, and he struggled to reach out and tackle the ball that Inzaghi shot past!

"Damn, it's only that one step away......" Cannavaro prayed to himself as he watched the ball fly towards his goal, "I hope Toldo can step up and save the team at this time, I don't have much to do here." ”

However, God apparently did not hear Cannavaro's prayers this time, and Toldo, who was shaken by Milito's back-heel pass, failed to spot the ball in time, and when he noticed Inzaghi's shot, it was too late......

In this way, the second half had just begun, and Fiorentina managed to recover a point thanks to Inzaghi's goal!
