Chapter 434 Attack blocked

"Zlatan..."

When Mancini talked about offense, the first name mentioned was naturally Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

So everyone focused on the big man in the team. Immediately, Mancini said with a serious expression, "Your task in this game is to do everything you can to help the team score goals according to what you said in an interview with reporters before the game! And... score as many goals as possible!!"

Hearing this, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's spirit was lifted, and he immediately patted his chest and said to his teammates, "As long as there is a chance in this game, give me the ball, and I will definitely score!!"

Afterwards, Mancini gave some instructions to the defenders, and asked them to defend Ai Luo neatly. If there is a foul, they should foul. Otherwise, it will delay the opportunity and let Valencia get a valuable away goal.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was still refreshed just now, was upset when he heard what Mancini said behind him. It was clear that he didn't believe in his scoring ability!Subconsciously, I began to complain about Mancini's timidity...

Of course, Materazzi kept slandering Mancini in his heart, the timid head coach...

It wasn't until the assistant referee told them to go to the player tunnel that Mancini stopped telling them like a gossip.

At the same time, the team members let out a sigh of relief, and it was finally over...

Finally, before walking out of the locker room, captain Zanetti clapped his palms vigorously and said loudly to his teammates, "Remember this game is played in our stadium, in San Siro! We are the kings!! Don't be afraid of any opponent!!!"

Materazzi, who had been holding back for a long time, finally found a point of venting, and said loudly: "Don't worry, captain, I will definitely show him some color and let him know whose home stadium this stadium is!!"

Although Mancini understood what Materazzi meant, but because of the latter's face, he did not reprimand him, so he had to pray in his heart: Don't be impulsive!

away team locker room

Flores' requirements for this game are very simple, that is to complete the game according to his own style of play, and try to score away goals while avoiding conceding the ball. "Although we are playing away in this game, we must not forget our own good style of play! Inter Milan is currently the team with the most goals in Serie A, but we are the team with the most goals in Europe this season...So in this game, we should try to reduce the number of opponents' offensive players directly facing our defenders...Put more attention on the offensive end and put pressure on the opponent..."

The other requests didn't say much, he was a smart guy and knew there were things to say and things not to say.

This team can be said to be the most powerful moment in Valencia's history. The frontcourt attack combination of Aiello, David Villa and David Silva is currently the striker combination with the most goals in Europe, so it goes without saying.

The configuration of the midfield can be said to be very luxurious. After the first half of the season, the trio of Ballack, Albelda and Baraja, while ensuring the hardness of the midfield, also made the division of labor of the three more clear and the combat effectiveness is also stronger!

It's just that the defense is a little weaker. The 34-year-old Ayala's partner with the 21-year-old Albiol always feels so unreliable. Fortunately, the two full-backs are still passable, Del Horno and Moretti.

Time passed quickly, and before Flores finished speaking, the assistant referee came to inform him that it was time to play.

Before walking out of the locker room, the new captain Albelda clapped his hands vigorously, stirring up the emotions of his teammates, "Although we are away, we must be the ones who win!"

"Definitely!"

Many players shouted in unison.

……

Aiello followed his teammates out of the visiting team's locker room, and saw teammate Ayala and Inter Milan's national team teammates Zanetti, Cambiasso, Burdisso, and Crespo hugging respectively.

Apart from Figo, he was familiar with no one in the opponent's team, so he just greeted Figo and then lowered his head to straighten his trouser belt.

Just when he tied up his trouser belt and looked straight ahead, he suddenly felt someone staring at him from the side and back, staring like a knife, which made him very uncomfortable, so he turned his head to look to the right back.

He found the owner, it was Materazzi.

Facing Materazzi's malicious eyes, Ai Luo had no choice but to make a pointless gesture of shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands.

But it's another matter if this action is seen by Materazzi, ignoring it, ignoring it nakedly!

At this moment, the theme song of the Champions League "Champions League" sounded, so Materazzi had to withdraw his angry eyes and followed his teammates into the field.

***
Players from both sides of the game slowly came out of the player tunnel under the playing of the UEFA Champions League theme song "Champions League" in the background, and then lined up in a row, with four referees standing between the two teams.

And in the middle circle of the stadium, there was a large group of UEFA volunteer workers shaking and shaking the sheets with the UEFA logo, telling the fans watching the live broadcast that this is the top league in Europe - the UEFA Champions League.

The home fans of the Meazza stadium set off blue and red flares all around the stadium, which made the away fans very upset near the roof of the stadium because... the smoke was directed at them.

"As the top league in Europe, the UEFA Champions League, I really don't know why they are checked when they go through the security check. I don't know how they brought in so many fireworks and flares..."

Sitting in the studio, Hyde had a very good view. Just in time, he saw that the smoke from the signal flare that was ignited on the scene was directed towards the two stands of the Valencia fans, and he blurted out subconsciously.

In fact, many people have become accustomed to the Serie A mode of fans cheering for the game.

Just like the singing of the Premier League, the momentum of the Bundesliga, and the characteristic of the Serie A team is the signal flare.

Soon, the theme song of the UEFA Champions League was played, followed by Valencia's team anthem "Valencia Hymn" for the away game. Not surprisingly, as soon as it was played, there was an astonishing burst of energy from the stands, boos all over the sky.

Ai Luo raised his chin slightly, glanced at the smoke in the stands with disgust, and then looked away. To be honest, he hates the atmosphere of Serie A. If he is not satisfied, he will tear down the seats, throw signal flares, and ignite flammable objects...

The fans in the stands also followed the camera transition of the Meazza Stadium, booing high and low. When the camera switched to Aiello, the booing of the whole stadium reached the highest decibel since the opening.

Ai Luo pouted, and booed as much as he could while he still had the strength! !
……

After playing the team songs of both sides, there is a handshake session between the two sides. Naturally, as an away game, Valencia should take the initiative to go over and shake hands with the players of the home team to show respect for the home team.

As soon as Materazzi rolled his eyes, a clever plan suddenly popped up in his mind. He knew how to give Aiello a blow at San Siro.

But when Ai Luo came to him, he was dumbfounded...

Because Materazzi was already preparing to shake hands with Ai Luo, but unexpectedly, Ai Luo's right hand just touched him and walked away...

This...doesn't follow the script at all! !

Materazzi's lungs are about to explode. If he was ignoring nakedly in the player tunnel, then his current behavior is completely looked down upon.

If eyes can kill, then Ai Luo has been flogged N times.

However, if Materazzi knew Ai Luo's true thoughts, would he commit suicide directly?

It wasn't until Ballack coughed embarrassingly that Materazzi came back to his senses and shook hands with the captain of the German national team. Otherwise, the next day's media might have a news similar to the conflict between the two.

****
Since Albelda and Zanetti won the duel, they naturally lost the kick-off.

With the whistle of the referee, the home team Inter Milan took advantage of the kick-off and took the lead in attacking Valencia's goal.

The ball was passed to Stankovic after two or three kicks, and then he drove the ball wide ahead of David Villa.

This is the usual way of kicking off the first team in each game, so no one was surprised.

In fact, there is a reason why Stankovic drives the ball forward with a big kick in the arc of his own side, because their center forward is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is tall, strong, and very flexible at his feet. As in the current situation, he can also do a precise header ferry and control the ball at the feet of his own players.

But the final attack ended with Figo's long shot over the crossbar.

After the Inter Milan players ended the attack, they quickly recovered, especially the three defensive midfielders Cambiasso and Stankovic, who basically made up for the two ribs between the two full backs and the central defenders.

It seems that this is a rainy day for Valencia's usual style of play.

Because Aiello and David Silva are both excellent speed and first-class offensive players, and their dominant foot and kicking position are opposite, there is a lot of space to use when cutting inside, and the recovery of Stankovic and Cambiasso has largely blocked the two points that Valencia can cut inside.

And by Aiello's side there is Inter Milan's captain Zanetti following him all the time.

Mancini simply took advantage of the number of people on the defensive line to completely limit Valencia's offensive trio.

Therefore, Valencia's subsequent offense can only threaten the goal guarded by Cesar through set-pieces and long-range shots after midfield, but the probability of long-range goals is surprisingly low.

Flores stood on the sidelines and watched the team's offense unable to start. He was very surprised. He didn't expect Inter Milan to do so thoroughly in defense. Basically, only one Ibrahimovic was left in front, and the other nine players returned to their own half.

What surprised him even more was Inter Milan's resoluteness in defensive counterattacks. Using Ibrahimovic's personal physical fitness and flexibility at his feet, he can also hold the football very well during counterattacks, and then wait for the support of his teammates.

Compared with Valencia's offense, the home team's offense played even better.
