Volume 1 Chapter 333 The veteran is out
Away team locker room
Mancini was yelling at Zanetti and Materazzi.
"Your defense is worse than mud before the game and even before the first game, I told you that you must guard against that Chinese, it is best not to even let him touch the ball, but how do you do it? Two games are not played, he has scored two goals"
Zanetti buried her head almost in her knees and said nothing.
Materazzi's face is very ugly, he provoked Chen Yu before the game, and did not forget to humiliate Chen Yu with words during the game, his purpose is to provoke Chen Yu, make him lose his cool, or act irrationally, but this Chinese is very forbearing, has not been angry, but countered him with two goals, which made Materazzi, who said big words before the game, hot on his face, and now listening to coach Mancini criticize him like this, Materazzi's face can't hang up.
"Coach, don't we want to guard him? We tried our best to say that we have used all the methods we can use, and we can't prevent what we can do, well, even if our defense is like mud, is it that the defense of the other 19 teams in Serie A is mud, and Juventus's defense is also mud, and all 19 teams in Serie A this season have been scored by him. ”
Materazzi's words were right, what he said was true, but now Mancini was angry, and he was hit like this, and he suddenly became angry.
"What do you say? Is that the explanation you gave me? If you had said that, I wouldn't have sent you on the field."
Mancini was so angry that the green veins on his forehead jumped suddenly.
"Anyway, it's up to you whether you can get on or not."
Materazzi sat down and gave Mancini a back.
Mancini is even more popular, "Good Inter Milan is not nobody, you don't have players"
Toldo, Mikhailovich and other old people saw that Mancini was really on fire, and hurried up to comfort him.
"Coach, dissipate your anger, we still have a chance."
"Coach, Materazzi also tried his best, he was teased by that Chinese, and he was not comfortable in his heart."
"Coach, that Chinese is too strong, can't blame the defender, no one can prevent it, if you want to win the championship, you have to look at our attack power."
Under the advice of the players, Mancini's anger rested for a while, and he arranged the second half of the game with a gloomy face, in this case, the second half must still be attack-oriented, Zanetti did not defend Chen Yu, and ate a yellow card, of course, he was replaced, Davis came on the field and continued to mark Chen Yu.
Mancini really wanted Pasquale to replace Materazzi and use Cordoba to play central defender with Mihajlovic, but after thinking about it, he was still worried that Inter Milan would lack air supremacy to replace Materazzi, and if the opponent sent Riegano on the field, there would be no one on his side to head the ball, so he could only pretend to be generous and leave Materazzi on the field.
The home dressing room was full of laughter.
Goal-scorer Chen Yu became the object of praise and ridicule, and judging from his jersey, it seemed that he had been splashed with a drink by his teammates.
"Captain. You get one more and we'll be crowned. ”
"Two in two games and one more is a hat-trick."
"Is that the case?"
Chen Yu listened to the discussion of his teammates, and couldn't help but say: "Don't be so happy, okay, we haven't won yet, think more about the lessons of Milan's Champions League final."
Rigano said: "Captain, which pot are you not opening and mentioning, can we compare with the gang next door." ”
"We were happy, but we didn't celebrate like Milan. ”
Head coach Busso and the assistant coaches have been smiling and watching the players for fun, after 45 minutes of hard work, the players are not only physically tired, but also mentally tired, and the coaches are willing to joke and relax the tension.
Seeing that there were less than five minutes left in the break, head coach Busso waved his hand, signaled everyone not to speak, and then said: "We played well in the first half, there were only three chances to score in total, and we scored, and the credit for this goal is mainly attributed to Xiao Yu and Di Natale, the two of them made a wonderful combination." However, we were able to keep the first half without being scored, thanks to the efforts of the whole team. The second half was definitely more difficult and Inter will definitely come back, but as long as we press well and improve the efficiency of the counter-attack, the victory will be ours. ”
Chen Yu's brows tightened after hearing this, and he couldn't help but say: "Coach, let me say a few words, I think that if we defend and counterattack now, we may not be able to hold it, let's play more offense, so that we can keep the slight advantage of L points." ”
Chen Yu's words were a bit unlucky, but they were facts, and his words could be regarded as a wake-up call for the coach and teammates.
Head coach Bu Suo said: "What the Chen team said is that we can't defend hard, and the defense without offense will never be able to defend, in the counterattack, we still have to look at the performance of Chen, Mikoli and Di Natale, you can score another goal, and we will be better to defend later." ”
Chen Yu wanted to say again, "Offense is not all about strikers", but thinking about what Busso said when he went to find him in person, he held the words in his stomach again.
Fifteen minutes of the break passed quickly, and the players walked out of the dressing room and onto the pitch again.
The fans in the stands were still lazily eating and drinking, but when they saw the players coming out of the locker room, they immediately came to their senses, and they welcomed the players with warm applause.
Huang Jianxiang, who came to Italy to explain the Italian Cup final in person, had bright eyes, and he saw at a glance that Inter Milan had changed players.
"Inter Milan made a substitution, Davies, I saw Davies, well, is it Zanetti who went down...... Yes, it was Zanetti who was replaced, this is a counter-substitution, I don't see any tactical adjustments in Inter Milan, but it is conceivable that Inter Milan should have some changes, after all, the situation of the two teams in the second half has been completely different. “
After the start of the second half, there was no change in the formation of the two sides, but the style of play did change a lot.
Inter Milan's three lines were 20 meters ahead, and the two full-backs also assisted in the midfield, squeezing Fiorentina's formation flat, and the distance between the three lines was no more than 10 meters.
Fiorentina did not deliberately expand their defensive range, although they scored a goal in the first half, but after storming the half, the players had to save some energy, no one knows if Lu Dao will play extra time, in case they run out of energy in 90 minutes, it will be miserable to enter extra time.
Fiorentina conceded space, but did not give up possession, and in the Fiorentina half, the Inter Milan players were still pressed by the Fiorentina players.
The midfielders are not running smoothly and the forwards are not being able to get more support, so they need to make up for it with other attacking powers, and because the central defenders play a pivotal role in defence, the full-backs become the first reserve force in the attack.
The two wings for Inter Milan are Zemaria and Córdoba.
Córdoba is a versatile player at the back, and in the latter stages of the league he played more at centre-back, partnering Materazzi, but because Zanetti went to play in the Confederations Cup, Koko was injured and out of form, so he had to play on the wing at left-back.
Explosiveness and speed are Córdoba's weapons, and when marking defenders, his tackles are neat; His back-to-back is always on the most dangerous front at the most pressing moments, and as a full-back, Cordoba is also fully capable of getting down the ball, but the quality of his passing is average.
The 3l-year-old is the captain of Perugia, and his right-footed skills are quite good, playing right wing-back in his early years, and more on the right in Perugia, and he is more specialized than Córdoba in the wide attack
After Córdoba and Zemaria pressed up, Fiorentina's defensive pressure increased, because it was not only two more people on the wing, but also made full use of the width of the pitch, tearing away the already dense central defenders, which had a strategic impact on the game, not just on the wings.
In the 4th minute of the second half, Emre made a short pass to the edge of the penalty area, Vieri took the ball with his back and cleverly knocked it to Cordoba on the left, but Cordoba's pass was intercepted by Maggio and went off the line.
Mihajlovic came to the left side of the box to take a corner.
Inter Milan put a lot of force into Fiorentina's penalty area, outflanking players in the front, middle and back points.
Mihajlovic showed his precision as he slotted the ball diagonally towards the back post, where Stankovic leapt high to head at the U-metre goal, but the ball bounced off Chiellini, who was standing next to the post.
In the 7th minute of the second half, Emre took advantage of Fiorentina's central players to help defend the wing, a little empty, he suddenly accelerated to break through Jorgensen into the penalty area, and pushed the ball in front of the goal past the defending Ujfarusi.
Inter Milan's fast horse Martins stepped forward at high speed and fired a half-right-footed volley from U-meter in front of goal, and the ball hit the right post and bounced off the bottom line.
Busso saw that Inter Milan was getting more and more urgent, a little anxious, he came to the sidelines, asked the players to expand the scope of the defense, so that the dense defense does not look good, the opponent has Vieri, who is as strong as a cow, Martins who is as fast as lightning, and Emre who can break through the strong ability to pass and Stankovic, who is a long-range shooter, these are all sharp weapons to break the iron bucket formation, and it is too difficult to use dense defense to maintain the lead of the L goal.
However, Inter Milan had already taken the initiative in the game, and the attack became more and more fluid, Fiorentina just forced out, Veron passed a scalpel-like through ball, Vieri let it, Martins cut in at high speed, and stabbed in the penalty area.
Goalkeeper Sejas had already made a knockdown save, the ball was pressed by him, but it was not pressed, the ball slowly rolled towards the goal, and was kicked out of the goal line by the high-speed defender Obodo.
Fiorentina was getting more and more difficult to play, and the fans in the stands were in no mood to applaud their players.
Busso couldn't stand it anymore and immediately made a substitution adjustment, the underperforming Jorgensen was replaced, and the veteran Di Livio came on.
It was Di Livio's last match, and he received a standing ovation from the crowd.
It turned out that when Di Livio came on the field, the captain's armband was usually worn by Chen Yu, but today, Chen Yu took off the armband and personally put it on Di Livio's arm.
"Your last game, I'm going to give you the championship trophy." Chen Yu said.
"Let's work together"
Di Livio hugged Chen Yu.
Seeing that the relationship between the new and old captains was so close, the applause in the stands thundered again.
