Football irons are burning

Chapter 240 The Expectation of the Grand Slam
But in the 19th minute, Li Tie made a comeback again.

Tacchinati came up with a fierce tackle, and Li Tie fell to the ground.

The referee Corina gave Tacchinati a defensive foul and gave Inter Milan a free kick.

Although Juventus formed a seven-man wall, Li Tie still hit a wonderful curve ball, and the ball went straight into the dead corner, 1:0!

The total score, 2:3, Inter Milan is still one goal behind.

Now Li Tie's free kick skills have gradually become very comprehensive, not only with strong free kicks, but also with such wonderful curve kicks. Sometimes it is difficult for people to judge how he will shoot.

After integrating Gascoigne's ability, Li Tie has of course become a technical player. Although it is not so delicate, it does not prevent him from knocking the opponent's goal with a free kick.

Li Tie also excitedly rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal. This kind of goal will not be scored many in his entire career.

The home fans responded with warm applause, and then, the song of King Meazza continued to sound.

Lippi was also thinking to himself: Is it going to come back today?
With this set of substitute lineup, Li Tie is still playing very vigorously, and now he is suppressing Juventus.

If you continue to play like this, I am afraid there is really hope for a comeback.

The game continues.

After conceding the goal, Juventus still played very calmly.

After passing the ball several times, it came to Zidane's feet.

Li Tie rushed forward immediately, and this was the first time he had confronted Zidane.

Due to the suspension last season, as a result, he and Zidane missed three chances to play against each other.

This Coppa Italia is the first time.

Zidane glanced at Li Tie, twisted his body, Li Tie immediately followed, Zidane immediately poked in the opposite direction, but Li Tie also followed immediately.

Zidane also felt a little surprised. Li Tie's reaction was too fast, and the start-up was no slower than his own.

Zidane lowered the tempo again, twisting his body to the other side. Li Tie missed a shot, but soon followed.

The two were entangled like this, Zidane couldn't get rid of Li Tie, and Li Tie couldn't break Zidane's ball.

At this time, Assuncao came up to help defend, Zidane had to pass the ball to Vieri, Vieri stuck to Chiellini, then turned around suddenly and volleyed, the ball was caught by Frey who judged correctly.

Frey threw the ball to attack, but Esposito caught the ball and did not break through immediately. Seeing Li Tie coming up, he immediately handed it to Li Tie.

Li Tie immediately rushed forward like a small tank after receiving the ball. Tacchinati and Zidane flanked Li Tie. Li Tie immediately went straight to Esposito on the wing. Esposito drove directly into the penalty area facing Pessoto.

Iaquinta jumped high and headed the ball, the ball was slightly higher.

This tall center is indeed very useful.

Since then, Inter Milan's offense has found Iaquinta as a high point many times and used him as a transition. For a while, the offense was relatively simple.

However, this also suppressed Juventus very well, using the suppression force in the middle to compress the opponent's direction very tightly.

This also made Zidane a little leisurely. He didn't get the ball for a long time.

And once he got the ball, Li Tie stuck to him like glue, making him unable to break through comfortably.

Regardless of whether it is a Marseille maneuver or a human ball, Li Tie can always predict it in place, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Li Tie did not make any foul moves, but Zidane felt that breakthroughs were not good, passing was not good, and shooting was even more difficult.

It is obvious that Li Tie Zidane's defense is very successful.

Li Tie usually watches the game videos of those stars, and it’s not for nothing. Otherwise, can he be so good in every game?That is accumulated, knowing your habits and the direction you like to break through, and remembering it in your mind, the game will come in handy.

No, it's all used.

After Zidane was seen as dead at this point, Juventus's offense was almost misfired, with few threats.

Juventus also suffers from Zidane dependence. Once Zidane does not perform well, Juventus will basically lose.

It is reported that Juventus executives have considered selling Zidane in exchange for a large amount of cash to restructure the team.

It is estimated that selling Zidane can earn at least 6000 million euros, or even higher. In this way, Juventus can indeed reorganize the team very well.

In private, Juventus has already contacted Pirlo, and they hope to use the local midfielder to complete the reorganization.

But Pirlo will definitely not go now. In Inter Milan, how comfortable this honor is.

But not necessarily in the future, there are still frequent player trades among the top three in the north.

The two sides played fiercely, but the score remained unchanged. Juventus' defense is indeed very strong.

Montero, Tacchinati, Pessoto, Iuliano, etc. are all defensive champions. Therefore, Iaquinta and Pauleta did not get a good chance. Li Tie went up several times to shoot long shots, but was also saved by Van der Sar.

At the end of the first half, Inter Milan still only led 1:0, and the total score was still one goal behind.

After the start of the second half, Inter Milan still took the initiative.

In the 50th minute, Li Tie made another foul on Tacchinati, but his free kick was saved by Edwin van der Sar.

Corner attack, Iaquinta grabbed the spot, but was still saved by Edwin van der Sar.

In these two attacks, the opponent's goalkeeper performed too well.

In the 66th minute, Inter Milan launched an attack again. Li Tie dribbled the ball to the side. Stankovic switched positions with him. After a few sudden moves, he suddenly wanted to pull, and then pushed it to Stankovic. Stankovic took a long shot, but the ball was still saved by Van der Sar.

The Dutch goalkeeper really looked like he had taken medicine today. He was too fierce.

The corner kick continued to find Iaquinta. This time Iaquinta came to ferry a header, and the ball was pushed to the penalty spot by him. Li Tie shot up, but was stabbed in the back by Tacchinati and fell to the ground.

Li Tie got up and signaled for a foul. Collina hesitated for a moment, and indeed called a penalty.

In fact, there were a lot of people at that time, and Collina couldn't see it very clearly.

But Li Tie conquered Collina with his charisma. Under normal circumstances, Li Tie seldom takes the initiative to apply for a penalty.

The Juventus players quit and began to argue with Collina, but Collina was unmoved and insisted on awarding a penalty kick.

The Juventus players saw that it was useless, so they could only walk away.

Li Tie stood at the penalty spot, watching Van der Sar jumping around on the goal line. No matter how you jump for this penalty, it is useless. Li Tie's strength, how can ordinary people get it?
After the whistle sounded, Li Tie hit the middle directly. Sure enough, Van der Sar threw the wrong direction and the ball scored, 2:0!

In the total score, Inter Milan equalized, and there is still an away goal advantage.

If the game ends with this score, Inter Milan will advance to the final of the Coppa Italia.

Li Tie celebrated with a somersault with a smile. A series of dazzling moves made the home fans cheer.

Lippi and the assistant coach also chatted very happily. If this game is won, there will only be the finals left, and it will not be played until after the Champions League final.

In this way, it does not affect the physical condition of the team too much.

Thinking of the weekend's league, Vicenza's strength is still not strong, Lippi simply called Drogba to warm up, and now he plans to go all out and continue to attack Juventus.

The game continued, and when the ball was dead, Drogba came on and replaced Iaquinta.

After he came up, the impact of the frontcourt became stronger.

In the 79th minute, Drogba received Li Tie Zhisai and turned around and volleyed. Van der Sar pounced.

The referee Corina again awarded a penalty!

The Juventus players suddenly found it difficult to accept. In this game, two penalty kicks were awarded, which most people would not accept.

However, there is actually no problem with the penalty kick. It is a shooting action. Although Montero shoveled the ball, his position was even worse. It was obvious that he destroyed Drogba's shot.

Collina directly took out the yellow card, warned several Juventus players, and pointed to the twelve yards firmly at the same time.

Li Tie came again with the ball in his arms, Van der Sar walked away and walked around on purpose before returning, trying to interfere with Li Tie's state of mind.

However, is Li Tie's mentality so easily influenced?
After the whistle sounded, Li Tie volleyed vigorously at the upper right corner of the goal again, and the ball scored again, 3:0!

Li Tie also likes hat-tricks. It is quite a sense of accomplishment to lead the team to the Coppa Italia final by himself.

This year, a Triple Crown, a Grand Slam, is a good experience. When he was in Kaiserslautern, Li Tie still looked down on the Triple Crown. In the last German Cup final, he did not want to face Kaiserslautern fans. Therefore, Li Tie did not enjoy the Triple Crown very much.

It’s different now. To Li Tie, winning the Triple Crown this season means a lot to Li Tie. This is a return to the top of Europe after a one-year suspension. This will be of great benefit to his future.

With a total score of 4:3, Inter Milan is in a favorable position.

After the re-kick-off, Juventus launched a final counterattack. If they don't attack now, the game is almost over.

Li Tie also withdrew and continued to follow Zidane closely.

No matter where Zidane runs, Li Tie will follow.

There is no way, Juventus can only adopt a simple and direct way of playing, and play a high ball.

In the 85th minute, Vieri headed the ball and Inzaghi made a burst shot, but the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the baseline.

This is Juventus' best chance.

Two minutes later, Vieri threw his header into the penalty area again. Zidane managed to shake off Li Tie's volley, and the ball hit the crossbar again and popped out.

Zidane also looked up to the sky and sighed. If the goal is scored, the two sides can still enter overtime.

Unfortunately, he was also infected by Inzaghi.

The game ended with Inter Milan winning 3:0. Inter Milan eliminated Juventus with a total score of 4:3 and reached the final of this season's Coppa Italia.
