football dynasty

The first half is over, 45 minutes later, the score on the court is still zero to zero.

Except for Di Natale's curling kick, neither side got a good chance.

Mancini originally thought that by strengthening the possession of the ball in the midfield, he could take the opportunity to fight back by drawing Parma out, but reality and imagination are completely different things.

Parma's high pressing was less about stealing the ball than about hindering Inter's attack.It's like a machine that has lost its lubricant. Every time it runs, every part makes a harsh friction sound, and every time it runs, it is infinitely more difficult than usual.

This makes Inter Milan, which has two forwards, not play a more threatening offense.

Of course, Parma has not been able to play its own offense. After all, Parma and Inter Milan are not on the same level of opponents in terms of overall strength. As long as Inter Milan does not show its flaws, it will be difficult for Parma to threaten the goal guarded by Santoldo.

The atmosphere in Parma's dressing room was relaxed. Levi praised the team's performance in the first half, and then fine-tuned the tasks of some players on the field.

However, in the dressing room of Inter Milan, the atmosphere is not so good.

In the first half, Inter Milan's players felt aggrieved on the football field.

The team did not attack aggressively, that's all, after all, Parma's defensive counterattack is famous in Serie A.However, in the positional battle, Inter Milan did not play as clean and tidy as in the past. On the contrary, football often had to go through the transition of many players in the midfield before they could barely advance to 30 meters in front of Parma's goal, and then they could no longer advance.

A long-range shot from outside the penalty area either hit a soaring cannon or hit the player blocking the gun.

The wide player finally succeeded in breaking through and made a long pass to the penalty area.It turned out that there were only two or three Inter Milan players in the penalty area, while Parma had seven or eight defensive players.

Even though Ibrahimovic is very powerful, he is not really a god descending from the mortal gods to block and kill gods and Buddhas, and he can only fall aggrieved under the crowd tactics.

Either the football was pushed up by the Parma players ahead of time, or Ibrahimovic was subjected to various tricks when he took off.

In the locker room, Zlatan Ibrahimovic didn't care about Mancini's face. He asked directly, "Roberto, how do you plan to attack in the second half?"

Obviously, the domineering Ibrahimovic was very dissatisfied with the first half of the game.

In fact, it is not just Ibrahimovic who is dissatisfied, most of the Inter Milan players are dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half.And this kind of dissatisfaction, after examining their own problems, they pointed the arrow at Mancini.

Mancini frowned and said to Ibrahimovic: "Zlatan, you know this is professional football, we can't have the upper hand all the time."

"But it's not so sissy!" Ibrahimovic retorted mercilessly: "Look at what we played in the first half? In order to get the ball, my striker would go back The ball can only be touched near the center circle! When I pass the ball long, I have to face three or even four Parma players in the penalty area alone!"

Mancini also had some headaches, he nodded and said, "I know."

Ibrahimovic also knows that he has said enough, not to mention that he only came to the team this summer and has not yet established himself in the locker room. In this case, don't offend the head coach too much up.

In fact, in the first half of the game, not only players like Ibrahimovic were dissatisfied, but Mancini was also dissatisfied.He originally thought that his team could take the lead in the first half, but he didn't expect that his tactics could not break the deadlock on the court.

It seems that it can only change.

The 15 minutes of the intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides began to play.

Commentator: "Hey! The fourth official held up the substitution sign on the sidelines. Inter Milan was the first to make a substitution. The one who was replaced was the 34-year-old former World Footballer Figo, and the one who was replaced was NO.11 The left back Grosso. Should Grosso replace Figo? Probably not, let’s take a closer look at the changes on the pitch.”

"Groso and Figo came on the field after high-fiving. He didn't appear in Figo's position. He was in the left-back position he was familiar with. The original left-back Zanetti came to the midfield, it should be As a defensive midfielder, after all, Zanetti's offensive ability is not very outstanding. Wait, Stankovic appears in the middle, which is a signal of attack! Inter Milan changed the original 4-4-2 formation, changed to Playing 4-3-1-2! Although the offensive player Figo was replaced, Inter Milan’s formation also vacated two wings for the full-backs to advance forward, and also strengthened the offense in the center. At the same time consolidated the center The defense, limiting Parma's quick counterattack!"

Use the three midfielders to block Parma's central attack?
Li Wei looked at Mancini a little differently, and actually came up with a good solution.

Fast counterattack pays attention to a fast word, but where is the fastest attack?Naturally, it is the middle road.

If Parma launches an attack from the side, it can certainly avoid Inter Milan's defense, but this does not mean that the counterattack will be successful.

Because no matter where the football starts to attack, it will inevitably return to the goal in the middle.When Parma's players inserted from the side, Inter Milan's three midfielders in the center also had enough time to return to the penalty area to help defend.

But can this be clamped to oneself?

Li Wei sneered and asked the players to increase their pressure.

All of a sudden, the Parma players moved more aggressively.

How can this be?The Inter Milan players were a little caught off guard. They didn't know that the high press in the first half was not the limit of the Parma players.In order to prevent being hit behind by the opponent, the Parma players actually left three points of force in their press, ready to return to defense at any time.

The Inter Milan players were miserable. They originally thought that after 45 minutes in the first half, they and their teammates had adapted to Parma's pressing rhythm. Who knew that Parma could actually speed up the rhythm.

The Inter Milan players panicked and passed the ball in a hurry. Although the pass was accurate, the quality was already very poor, making it difficult for teammates to stop the football.

The situation is not good!

Mancini, who was sitting firmly on the fish platform, couldn't sit still anymore. He suddenly stood up, walked to the sidelines, and stared at the court frowning.
