Chapter 324 The Nerazzurri Empire's Midfielder's Decision

"In the confrontation with the strongest midfielder in Europe, Inter Milan now has the upper hand!" The ESPN commentator chattered: "Ronaldo failed to organize the team well under Cambiasso's close defense. However, under the entanglement of Dacourt, he couldn't play well. Xavi was completely suppressed by Vieira, and Marcos was even unable to find his way by Pei Weihuang! It seems that in the midfield confrontation so far, the international Milan has the upper hand!"

The Barcelona fans were already annoyed by being behind, and they were even more angry when they heard such words. At this time, the guest next to them said: "In the first half of the game, Inter Milan's midfielders were not very good. played, but they proved their worth in just 10 minutes in the second half, with Vieira and Dacourt misfiring Barcelona's midfield twin Xavi Deko and Cambiasso freezing Ronaldinho at the same time. Contributed a goal and an assist on offense, his performance today is world-class! And Pei Wei's breakthrough pass has caused a lot of trouble for Barcelona's defense. If this continues, Barcelona today It's dangerous."

"You mean the game will be bad for Barcelona?"

"It's possible, but I'm still looking forward to Ronaldinho's performance. You know, for a player like him, sometimes even if he's silent for 89 minutes, just one minute of flashes is enough to change the outcome of the game!"

**********************************
"Press up! Press up!" After gaining the lead in the score, Mancini did not allow the players to recover as they did in the first half, but let the players launch an attack. You know, in the home game 2:1 Leading is not something that makes people too happy. Among other things, Inter Milan won Villarreal 2:1 at home last year, and then lost 0:1 away and was eliminated.

What's more, today's opponent is Barcelona, ​​which is stronger than Villarreal. The result of 2:1 is definitely not enough. We must continue to use offense to suppress the opponent while the opponent is behind and preparing to counterattack. If the score can be extended by one goal, Then the next game at Camp Nou will be easier to play.

With Barcelona's habitual style of play, they will definitely launch a crazy attack after falling behind, and the defense will also weaken accordingly. If they attack against them at this time, they will definitely be able to catch them by surprise!
Mancini's idea was very correct. Barcelona, ​​which was habitually ready to attack, was stunned by a stormy blow from Inter Milan. Messi's dribble was intercepted by Burondisso with a flying tackle, and then Burundisso passed the ball straight. At Cambiasso's feet, Cambiasso passed the ball to Pei Wei again, and Inter Milan quickly completed the transition from defense to offense.

Pei Wei took the ball with his back to the goal. When Marcos came up, he knocked the ball diagonally to Vieira who was on the way, then turned and ran forward. Vieira sent the ball back to him. Pei Wei did not stop the ball. , but pushed the arch of his foot and distributed the ball to the right. Zanetti, who inserted the assist, swung the ball to the bottom line, avoiding Zambrotta, who hastily returned to the defense, and made a cross!
Crespo jumped high, still grabbed the point under Puyol's close defense, and shook his head to attack the goal!
"Oh! What a great save from Valdes! He single-handedly saved Crespo's inevitable header! People always say that Barcelona's only flaw is their goalkeeper, but let's not Forget, Valdés became the main goalkeeper of the strongest team in La Liga at the age of 19 just like Casillas!"

"It seems that we underestimated that guy." Mancini frowned and said to Baggio when he saw that Valdes had saved Pei Wei's long shot again.

"Yeah, actually, looking at the technical statistics, in La Liga, he saved as many key goals as Casillas. By the way, Robert, don't you think he looks like someone in our team?"

"You mean Giulio?" Mancini thought for a while, then suddenly laughed: "It's really similar, they are all criticized by the media, thinking that they are not worthy of being the main goalkeeper in a wealthy club, but they are always on the move. Progress, even the height, appearance and technical characteristics are very similar."

The two of them were talking, and Barcelona launched a counterattack on the field. After Ronaldinho and Eto'o cooperated continuously, they suddenly distributed the ball to Messi on the wing. Messi's strong shot was used poorly by Cesar. The standard posture rushed out.

"Damn! Concentrate!" Mancini stood up and yelled twice at the field before sitting down.

"It's okay, now we have the upper hand, it was just an accident just now."

Baggio was right. After the attack just now, Inter Milan suppressed the opponent again. The continuous attack made Harvey Deko have to withdraw to defend, but when Ronaldinho and others wanted to counterattack, they always Is caught in the ocean of Inter Milan defenders.

"We should substitute players to strengthen our offense! Defense alone is not enough!" the assistant coach suggested to Rijkaard. Indeed, defense is not what Barcelona is good at. If it continues like this, it is likely that Inter Milan will expand the score again. Advantage.

Rijkaard finally made a substitution at the 203rd minute of the second half, but the person he changed surprised everyone. He, who advocates offensive football, did not replace the offensive player, but used a defensive player. Oleg replaced Belletti, who has an excellent assist ability, and his intention to strengthen the defense is very obvious.

"This... It seems that Rijkaard seems a little conservative today!" The commentator of Catalan TV was also confused by this substitution: "Does he want to keep the score until the end, and then wait until the home game comes?" Solve the opponent? It is very possible!" He finally found a reasonable explanation: "It is not unacceptable to lose an away goal, let alone score an away goal, but with Inter Milan's offensive ability, even in an away game Can't you score a goal too?"

Looking at the assistant's puzzled eyes, Rijkaard didn't explain much, but said lightly: "Now we can no longer concede the ball. As for the offense, I trust them."

The "they" in his mouth naturally refers to Barcelona's three-person offensive team in the frontcourt: Ronaldinho, Messi and Eto'o. In the past games, the combination of these three people has turned the tide countless times. This time, Rijkar De also chose to believe them.

"Their defense is really tenacious." When Pei Wei's shot in front of the penalty area was destroyed by Marcos, he wiped off his sweat and said to Ibrahimovic.

"It's so unreasonable!" Ibrahimovic said depressedly: "Did that guy take the wrong medicine today? He performed so well! Don't they all say that La Liga teams have poor defense? I don't think it's bad?"

Pei Wei smiled wryly and looked towards Barcelona's penalty area. There were seven defenders there. Even the poorest defender would become difficult to deal with with such a huge number advantage, not to mention having players like Puyol and Thuram Such a super defender Barcelona!
Inter Milan's offense is very resolute, and their fighting spirit is also very high-but Barcelona's defense is also very tenacious, and their fighting spirit is no less than that of Inter Milan's players. This is deeply touched by Pei Wei. Whenever he gets the ball, at least Three people surrounded him. Apart from Marcos who was gnashing his teeth, Deco and Harvey, two players with excellent skills, also surrounded him. No matter how good Pei Wei was, he was only one person. The shot came.

The long-range shot was invalid, and the cross from the bottom was also invalid. Although the Inter Milan players on the two wings frequently dropped the ball into the penalty area, Thuram seemed to have regained the demeanor of the best central defender in the World Cup. All the high balls were controlled by him. , and when he pushed the ball out, the three midfielders at the front of the penalty area immediately had a big kick and drove the ball far away.

Fortunately, Inter Milan's defensive players in the backcourt are all taller than Barcelona's forwards, and they haven't made any mistakes so far. Otherwise, Barcelona might have used counterattacks to equalize the score.

However, no matter how good a guard is, he is also a human being, and as a human being, he will have emotional tension and psychological fluctuations. Even the most stable guard will make mistakes when the opponent attacks again and again.

Just like Cannavaro in the European Cup in 2000, he performed very well from the beginning to the end of the game, but the French team saw him at this point and launched an attack desperately, and the result was that at the end of the game , he made a key overhead error, which gave the French team's Wiltord a fatal blow.

In the technical statistics after the game, Cannavaro made 90.00 successful clearances in this game, with an astonishing success rate of over [-]%. Unfortunately, it was that one mistake that made him a sinner.

So, on the football field, the two worst jobs to do are defender and goalkeeper...

Zanetti stepped forward with an assist and sent the ball into the penalty area after receiving a point from Pei Wei. Barcelona's penalty area immediately became a melee.

Crespo and Thuram entangled tightly and then jumped almost at the same time, but the entanglement between the two prevented both of them from jumping too high, and the ball flew over their heads. past.

The ball that fell on the ground bounced up and landed right in front of Harvey who just ran out from the goal post. Harvey kicked it without even thinking about it, but he didn't know who was behind him at this time After a push, Harvey, who was under the impact, slipped and failed to get the right position. The ball only flew three or four meters away, and flew in front of Ibrahimovic.

At this time, Ibrahimovic had just finished competing with Puyol for the position, and before he landed, he saw the ball rolling in front of him. Immediately, two defenders surrounded him, and Ibrahimovic couldn't care less After balancing, he raised his long legs and kicked the ball.

Since Ibrahimovic has not been able to stand firmly, the foot also failed to hit the power. The ball flew towards the goal along an irregular route after being collided with countless people's legs. Valdez immediately abandoned the goal and attacked the ball. rushed over.

In all fairness, Valdez's attack was well thought out this time. The ball had already rolled out from the crowd, and both his own players and the opponent's players in the penalty area were already twisted into a ball. If he attacked in time, he would definitely be able to catch the ball.

Valdes, who rushed out, looked at the ball getting closer and closer in his eyes, and strengthened his determination to attack.

Just when he was rushing forward to reach out to hug the ball, a sneaker suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and just before his hand was about to touch the ball, he stabbed at the front of the ball!
The suddenly accelerated ball rolled past him, and rolled into the goal under the eyes of everyone in the penalty area!

"The ball... the ball has been scored!" Meazza's commentator has been watching the situation in the penalty area nervously, until he saw the ball appearing in the goal, he shouted a long-awaited roar: "The second half No.306 minutes, the Nerazzurri fighters expanded the score! Our fighters were not discouraged by a goal behind at the beginning, but used offense to deal with last year's European king! The crucial third goal was in a melee Scored, this goal is not exciting, but very important! The goal is the Chinese prince—”

"Pei!" The fans at the scene took up his words in unison, and the owner of the name was standing in the penalty area of ​​Barcelona, ​​hugging his teammates tightly with open arms!
In the penalty area just now, Pei Wei, who had been firmly held behind Marcos, suddenly fell to the ground, stretched out his foot from between Marcos' legs, and stabbed the ball. Valdés had no idea that Pei Wei would use such a very He shot the goal in a regular way, until the ball rolled into the goal, he didn't see who stabbed the ball.

**************************************
Mancini excitedly gave high-fives to other players and coaches on the bench. From No.308 minutes in the first half to No.306 minutes in the second half, Inter Milan’s performance in the half-time game was perfect. The frightened attack lines of the European powerhouses did nothing, and scored three goals for the opponent!If this performance continues, who can beat Inter Milan?

Rijkaard closed his eyes in pain, the whole plan was disrupted by such an accidental ball!Originally, with Inter Milan's offense, it was already at the end of its strength at that time just now. If it continues to defend like this, it is acceptable to return to the Nou Camp with a backward ball. Maybe it can be scored while the opponent is eager to attack. An equalizer, but now, I'm afraid I can only strengthen the offense, but I'm afraid that the opponent will take advantage of the situation to counterattack. If I lose another goal, it will really be over!
In the 307th minute of the game, Rijkaard used two substitutions in a row. Saviola replaced Messi, who was physically weak, and Gudjohnsen replaced Marcos. Barcelona had to put all their eggs in one basket to strengthen their offense. up!
While Rijkaard made a substitution, Mancini also made a substitution. Martins replaced Crespo. Obviously, Mancini wanted to use the Nigerian's amazing speed to contain the opponent's defense.

After the game restarted, Inter Milan returned to the old way of the first half, shrinking the defense line and strengthening the defense. Even Ibrahimovic returned to the midfield to help defend, leaving only Martins and Pei Wei, the two fastest Once the Italian-style defense is organized, it will be the most troublesome thing for the Spanish team.

Martins created a good opportunity as soon as he came on the field. Vieira made a steal and passed a long pass. Pei Wei jumped up and headed the ball towards Barcelona's weak defense. Martins immediately took advantage of his speed and rushed to the goal. The ball chased after him.

Although Puyol's defensive ability is strong, when he failed to foul the first time, he was basically freed by Martins-no way, the speed of the African black boy is too fast.

It's a pity that Martins took a big step in the last step after entering the penalty area, and was destroyed by Valdez who attacked in time.

Even if Martins came to Barcelona's defense like this, Barcelona didn't have the slightest intention of recovering, but continued to strengthen the offense.

**********************************************
Ronaldinho has lost his usual smile. His state in this game was not very good. At the same time, Cambiasso's ubiquitous defense also gave him a headache. To put it bluntly, the reason why Barcelona played in the second half of the game Ronaldinho's sluggish state accounted for a large part of the reason for being so passive on the scene.

Cambiasso looked at the opponent in front of him with confidence. In order to ensure the state of this game, he did not play in the last game at all, in order to be able to play [-]% of himself in this game Hundreds of energy to deal with this fearsome opponent.

Now it seems that his preparations for this game have not been in vain. Ronaldinho has been doing nothing under his supervision, and he not only completed the defensive task very well, but also used a goal and an assist to perfectly complete the defense. Offensively completed the performance, Inter Milan and Barcelona on another level of "battle" seems to have been won by the Argentines.

Moreover, Ronaldinho didn't seem too excited from the very beginning of today's game, and he didn't run very much. By this time of the game, he was already sweating profusely. Cambiasso knew that this opponent was about to reach the limit.

Ronaldinho was angry, especially when he saw the feeling of victory in Cambiasso's eyes. He knew that he did not perform well in this game. He played against Deportivo three days ago. The game involved too much energy on him, and he felt very tired in this game.

An angry Ronaldinho is undoubtedly terrifying, although it will make him lose some calmness, but under the control of anger, the feeling of fatigue on Ronaldinho's body seems to have disappeared.

"Give me the ball!" Ronaldinho ran back a few steps suddenly and shouted at Harvey who was holding the ball.

Xavi, who was holding the ball, was under the pressure of Vieira and couldn't comfortably find the loopholes in Inter Milan's defense. When he heard Ronaldinho's cry, he had no room for thinking, and he didn't even look at Ronaldinho's position. Just put the ball in with one kick.

Duckett had already noticed Ronaldinho's running from the side. He noticed Harvey's intention to pass the ball. The moment the ball rolled out of Harvey's feet, he had already sped out from the side quickly. To break this ball!
"Oops!" Harvey yelled, and at the same time regretted in his heart: How could I be so confused and pass the ball without observing the surrounding situation!
But Darko is fast, someone is faster than him!
At the moment Dakot rushed up, Deco also rushed over, made a tackle on the ground, and gave the ball to Ronaldinho!

Ronaldinho catches the ball, turns around, and faces Cambiasso!

"Ronaldinho! Come on! I will make you disappear in this game!" Cambiasso shouted in his heart, and he met Ronaldinho confidently!
When Ronaldinho ran back just now, Cambiasso did not give up chasing, but followed closely behind him, so now Ronaldinho has already met Cambiasso almost as soon as he turned around!
Seeing Cambiasso rushing up, Ronaldinho suddenly pulled the ball to the right, but it seemed that the action was a bit big, and the ball rolled a little farther!
Without any hesitation, Cambiasso stabbed the ball with one kick!
Even if Ronaldinho is making fake moves, he is not afraid!As long as he is fast enough, he can turn any fake moves into empty words!
But Ronaldinho is faster!

The left foot was quickly pulled out from the inside of the ball, and the next moment it was on the outside of the ball, and then it was buckled inward, avoiding Cambiasso's foot!
Toss the oxtail!

After finishing this action, Ronaldinho immediately took a big step forward, relying on his excellent explosive power, he was ahead of Cambiasso by one position abruptly!
This series of actions were seamlessly connected, and the few Barcelona fans in the Meazza Stadium immediately screamed crazily!
Although he got rid of Cambiasso temporarily, Ronaldinho knew that this was only temporary!
He didn't hesitate at all, and immediately dribbled the ball diagonally into the middle, ready to cut into the penalty area!

This is too sudden!The defenders of Inter Milan did not expect that Cambiasso, who had been eating Ronaldinho to death, would be shaken away by the opponent in a face-to-face, and no one came up to mark him for a while!
Seeing that Ronaldinho was about to enter the penalty area, Cambiasso had already caught up from behind at this time, Ronaldinho staggered at this time, and the ball rolled away for a distance!
Cambiasso immediately stretched out his foot to steal the ball, but at this moment, Ronaldinho seemed to have lost his balance. He suddenly stretched out his foot and hooked the ball back. At the same time, the retracted foot stepped on the spot where the ball was just now. Location!

At this time, it was too late for Cambiasso to stop, and in the blink of an eye, the two fell to the ground at the same time!

Mancini and Rijkaard, who were watching the game, felt tight at the same time!
It's just that Mancini is worried about Cambiasso's action, while Rijkaard is worried about whether Ronaldinho will be injured!

The referee's whistle has sounded!At this time, both Cambiasso and Ronaldinho have climbed up.

Rijkaard felt relieved, it seemed that Ronaldinho was fine.

But what Mancini was most worried about happened. The referee ran to Cambiasso, and then took out a red sign, which lit up in Cambiasso's eyes, and then pointed his hand down the field!
red card!Cambiasso is sent off with a red card!

Cambiasso couldn't believe his eyes. He pointed at Ronaldinho and kept talking to the referee.

The fans of Meazza also booed loudly, but the referee's will cannot be changed!

Mancini is also negotiating with the fourth official, but he has not been able to get a satisfactory answer!
Inter Milan can only accept the fact that Cambiasso ended sadly!

In fact, his end has no effect on this game. After all, the game is almost over, but it will have a great impact on the next away game against Barcelona!

Mancini has no time to think about these now, now not only Cambiasso was sent off, Barcelona also won a free kick 23 meters away from the goal!

Ronaldinho stood in front of the ball. Cambiasso's tackle just now didn't seem to affect his feet. He put his hands on his hips and looked at his national teammate Cesar.

Inter Milan's players lined up a wall of six people, blocking the goal on the side facing the ball, and on the other side, goalkeeper Cesar!

As long as this free kick is defended, the game is basically over!At that time, Inter Milan, with a two-goal advantage, will have more choices in the away game!

The referee blew the penalty whistle after the Inter Milan wall was set.

Still Ronaldinho's signature free kick, he didn't step back, but kicked the ball directly!

When the ball flew out from Ronaldo's feet, the wall jumped up immediately, and Cesar also started to move!
Almost completely ignoring the existence of the human wall, the ball drew a wonderful trajectory and flew over the head of the human wall!
Cesar jumped up!But his outstretched hand was still a little short of the ball!

Almost sticking to the goal post, the ball flew into the goal!

2: 3!

"Long live! Ronaldinho's beautiful free kick! Pulled Barcelona back from the brink! This is what superstars do! They can disappear on the field for 89 minutes, but a flash of 1 minute is enough to decide everything! If we say that in this game If the striker dominates the game in the half, then the midfield decides the game in the second half! Barcelona retains hope, and Inter Milan don’t need to be too disappointed, because in this game, they are the winners!”

The game was over immediately after Inter Milan's kick-off resumed, and Inter Milan beat Barcelona at home, but they could hardly claim the upper hand in the two legs of the game.
