Chapter 446

Materazzi, who was lying on the ground, was still recalling the moment when Ai Luo broke through him just now. He obviously broke through to the left, so why did he suddenly change direction and twist to the right?

Materazzi knocked his head and couldn't imagine it.

"Marco, did you see the breakthrough action just now?"

Maicon reached out and pulled up Materazzi who was sitting on the ground, and then asked.

Materazzi frowned, took Maicon's right hand with both hands and stood up, then shook his head.

"This kid is really hard to guard!" Maicon spat and said a little unhappy.

"Difficult to defend? Hehe..." Materazzi gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Then I will let him know that he is not so lucky every time to break through!"

"Marco..." Maicon noticed Materazzi's emotional changes, but he didn't know what to say. After all, he hadn't been in the team for a season, and his foundation was unstable. Materazzi probably wouldn't listen if he said it, so forget it...

Shaking his head, he walked forward and waited for the kickoff.

……

Ibrahimovic looked at Ai Luo who was surrounded by the crowd, and the bitterness in his heart became more and more intense, and he also subconsciously thought in his heart, could it be...is there really a world of difference?
Soon, he clenched his fists tightly, as if the heart that hoped to become stronger had regained its brilliance.

The fighting spirit of the whole person soared to the peak again.

Me, Zlatan Ibrahimovic!Never be worse than others! !
Wait, I'll catch up, Chinese! !

After the game restarted, Ibrahimovic did work very hard, but the efforts of one person cannot replace the performance of the entire team. After all, he is not the kind of player who can play a one-stop game alone.

Of course, the scene where the cheating scene was staged at Ajax is an exception, and it cannot be copied.

**
Mancini started to plan this game after the last round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals. According to his idea, he would play with three midfielders in this game. First, limit Valencia's attack, and then counterattack.

The score of 2:2 in the first round will definitely make the home team Valencia feel a little slack. At home, they should not attack at the beginning. Therefore, when Valencia faces the combination of its own three midfielders, it will definitely attack without sparing any effort. At that time, it will be Inter Milan's opportunity.

Hacked at home?That's not the style of Valencia, who are unbeaten at home.

What I didn't expect was that the opponent intercepted and scored a goal just ten seconds after the kick-off. This dealt a serious blow to the confidence of the Inter Milan players, and at the same time created an illusion for them-would the defense be defeated while going all out to attack?

Therefore, during the period of re-kick-off, Inter Milan played quite conservatively.

There is only one Ibrahimovic who keeps asking for the ball in the frontcourt, looking for opportunities to attack.

***
In fact, Flores was at a loss when he got Inter Milan's starting roster. Inter Milan, who had conceded two goals at home, would form a three-and-a-half midfielder in the away game.

Therefore, his deployment before the game was also quite cautious, and he also specifically told David Silva to take into account the defense on the right. What he didn't expect was that the team would create a goal in less than 1 minute.

So Flores is quite comfortable now, you put so many midfielders in the midfield, it depends on how you organize the attack!

Anyway, we are the ones who are ahead, but you are the ones who are in a hurry!

And according to Mancini's coaching style, it is impossible for him to start personnel adjustments in the first few minutes, otherwise it would be tantamount to slapping himself in the face and denying his pre-match deployment.

In other words, Valencia has halftime to expand the score. When the time comes... wait until the second half, with a defensive posture, it depends on what you do!
Italian teams are not good at attacking.

Sure enough, during this period of time, Inter Milan's offensive organization was quite difficult. The midfielder Stankovic was an organizational midfielder, Zanetti and Burdisso were purely defensive players, and the other midfielder Cambiasso was more tasked with connecting the midfield.

If he directly participates in the offense, the midfielder will lack a player who connects the midfielder and the backcourt, which will lead to a disconnect between the midfielder and the backcourt, which will make the team more scattered.

Therefore, the offensive combination of Ibrahimovic, Cruz and Stankovic was easily restricted by Valencia's defensive players.

Even Albelda, who has been in charge of connecting the midfield and backcourt full-time after owning Ballack, has time to devote his energy to the offense. This shows how easy Valencia's defense is.

Although Valencia has a lot of people who can invest in the offense, because Inter Milan also has a lot of defensive players, the normal game has entered a relatively stalemate. You can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you.

Looking at the situation on the court, Mancini really wanted to make a substitution at this time, but the reason in his heart told him that if the players were changed at this time, there would definitely be problems in the team's locker room, and he, as the head coach, would definitely be to blame.

After hesitating for a few minutes, Mancini gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. At the same time, he murmured, "Let's wait until the second half!"

***
"Inter Milan's away trip was quite tragic. It took only [-] seconds for the home team to take a fatal blow... What is hard to see is that they still put up three midfielders in the away game when they lost the opportunity. This is no different from Chelsea putting up a bus in front of the goal! But the problem is that they are one goal behind. Mancini should act decisively at this time, replace a midfielder and add an offensive player..."

The local narrator in Italy said.

Immediately, his guest said, "Actually, Mancini also has his worries. If he starts to make substitutions at this time, the players on the field will definitely be quite dissatisfied, and it will definitely cause chaos in the locker room. In addition, the home team Valencia's offense will not be able to expand the score. I believe that the opportunity will come in the second half."

"That's true. As the head coach of a wealthy club, you should think further..."

But the game has been going on for more than 20 minutes, and Inter Milan's defense always feels shaky, because Aiello's ability to take the ball and break through is too strong, and there are two organizational players behind him who send fixed points. It is simply impossible for the defensive players of Zanetti, Burdisso and Maicon to defend against.

In the 28th minute, Aiello used active running to move within the 30-meter area of ​​Inter Milan's defense. The continuous kicks made Burdisso and Zanetti, who had been marking him, a headache. In the end, Burdisso was half a beat behind and sent a free kick to Valencia about 27 meters away from the goal.

And this position is quite a good position for Aiello, because this is a position facing the Inter Milan goal and a little bit to the left, which is especially suitable for right-footed free kick masters to take penalties.

So at this moment, both Mancini and Cesar felt quite nervous.

Of course, all Inter Milan fans are like this. They all know that Aiello's free kick skills are quite good, especially for free kicks at a distance of 26 to 32 meters, the hit rate is quite high.

So when Aiello took the free kick, all the fans who supported Inter Milan closed their eyes, for fear of seeing their team suffer a two-goal deficit in the away game.

bang~
But with the sound of hitting the goal post, the goalkeeper Cesar sat on the grass as if he collapsed.

Just now, according to the general position of defending free kicks, the wall guards the near corner, and he guards the far corner.

After Ai Luo's free kick went over the wall, he didn't even have the consciousness to move his footsteps. It was like disarming and surrendering. Fortunately, the football hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

Otherwise, if he fell behind by two goals in less than half an hour, he would definitely not be able to get rid of part of the responsibility.

"Aiello's free kick is quite exciting! It's just a little bit of bad luck, otherwise, Inter Milan will be quite passive, and the second half will be a torment for them, because Valencia's quick counterattack is quite powerful..."

As the football hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line, Huang Jianxiang's commentary was quite comfortable, but it was still easy for people to hear a trace of regret.

It is indeed a pity, because Aiello's goal in the opening 10 seconds brought his number of goals in the Champions League this season to 14, which is only two goals away from the 16 goals he created in a single season last season.

***
This goal was not scored, and Ai Luo was not too frustrated, but a little bit regretful. He knew that if this goal was scored, then the game would basically come to an end.

After the trepidation just now, Burdisso's defensive method is more mature than it.

After the whole team gradually adapted to Valencia's offensive rhythm, it also became handy in defense.

It is indeed a nation with defensive blood flowing in its bones!

Because whether it is Valencia's infiltration of the pass and cut cooperation or the breakthrough from the side, it needs space. As long as the three midfielders of Inter Milan are placed in front of the central defender, they stand still and do not leave their posts without permission.

"Inter Milan's defensive players stand very densely. It's almost like a bus is set up in front of the goal. God, if the score on the scoreboard tells me that Valencia is ahead, otherwise I think it's Inter Milan leading by one goal and set up this defensive formation..."

Watching Valencia play against Inter Milan, the local Italian commentator said sarcastically.

Because the current situation of the three teams that have advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League in Serie A is very difficult.

Roma and AC Milan both played 0:0 in the first round. The situation is not optimistic, and Inter Milan still set up a bus in front of the goal when they fell behind.

Valencia's next attack was still intensive, but it did not directly threaten the goal guarded by Cesar, it just made the fans of Inter Milan tremble with fear.

But for the fans of Inter Milan, fortunately, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score on the field was still fixed at 1:0, and the home team only led by one goal.
