Football irons are burning

Chapter 243
After the world preliminaries were over and the players returned to the team, Lippi read the team doctor's report and didn't even smile at all.

These players basically have minor injuries.

Pirlo has a slight calf muscle strain and needs to rest for at least two weeks. Pauleta has to rest for two weeks because his waist is pushed up.
In the first round of the world preliminaries, the entire main force of Inter Milan was almost abolished.

In desperation, Inter Milan can only attack Juventus in an away game.

Because of the loss in the Coppa Italia semi-finals, Juventus is of course very resentful towards Inter Milan. Now that Inter Milan is in trouble, the opponent will naturally make trouble.

Before the game, Ancelotti said that he wanted to avenge himself and beat Inter Milan at home, leaving the final suspense for the championship.

The match day is approaching, and the two sides come out to compete. Inter Milan's lineup is indeed crippled.

Goalkeeper Petr Cech, defenders Chiellini, Manfredini, Zanetti, double midfielders Di Biagio and Assuncao, both sides Stankovic and Deisler, midfielder Li Tie, double forwards Iaquinta and Esposito.

But after the start of the game, Li Tie gave the home team a disarm.

In the 3rd minute, Di Biagio broke the ball from Zidane's foot and passed it through. Li Tie caught the ball and turned around in one go.

After turning around, Li Tie quickly adjusted his pace and kicked it out!

Van der Sar was caught off guard and watched the ball hit the net, 0:1!

Inter quickly took the lead in the away game. This season, Inter Milan scored the opening goals in many games. This is really an unsolvable problem.

Li Tie jumped up and waved his fists in satisfaction. Taking the lead so quickly in the away game, he can calmly go back to defend and counterattack.

In fact, this goal was also the only goal in the game.

Subsequently, Juventus suppressed Inter Milan and attacked with all their strength.

After all, it is their home court, and Juventus is still quite effective at home.

Without many defensive players, Inter Milan's backcourt is indeed quite easy to be exploited.

However, under the organization of Li Tie, Inter Milan's defense has become watertight.

In the 19th minute, Zidane cooperated with Vieri in front of the penalty area, and after a little gap, he shot a strong shot, and the ball was blocked by Li Tie out of the baseline.

Li Tie reacted too quickly to the ball. When Zidane shot, he had already thrown himself out.

Zidane is also full of regrets. Juventus has lost all four players this season. He only wants to win Li Tie once. Unfortunately, why is this wish so difficult to realize?

In the 24th minute, Vieri received a pass from Zidane and volleyed directly. The ball was once again blocked by Chiellini with his chest out of the baseline.

Chiellini also beat his chest and feet excitedly, yelling, very excited.

He is the central defender in the back line, and defending Vieri is indeed very hard, besides, he is still a child.

Vieri has long been famous, and there is no problem with this shot, but Chiellini was obviously encouraged by Li Tie, and he also did the goal line rescue.

In the 33rd minute, Inzaghi shot past Cech's ten fingers in the penalty area, but was kicked out by Li Tie on the goal line.

Desperate?None of this will let you in.

Indeed, the Juventus players were very helpless. They played around and couldn't score a goal. It was a bit useless.

Their ball possession rate was as high as 75%.

It's a pity that there is a goal missing.

The defense is short of major generals, and the leading Inter Milan will naturally not press out. Li Tie has almost turned into a central defender at this moment, constantly fighting fires in the backcourt.

As the game progressed, Manfredini also gradually entered the state, and began to follow the rhythm of Li Tie, constantly chasing and intercepting Juventus offensive players.

Coupled with the fact that Chiellini and Zanetti are getting better and better, Inter Milan's defense has become very tough.

The halftime score was 0:1.

Back in the locker room, the Inter Milan players were still very excited. The opponent attacked so fiercely, but the team has not conceded the ball, which can make people's adrenaline soar.

"Captain, did I defend well in the first half?" Chiellini asked with a look that was still unfinished.

Li Tie smiled and said, "You did a good job, young man, let's continue to work harder in the second half."

At this time, Lippi came in.

He is also very excited. This is facing his old club, and the team has given him a lot of face.

"Strengthen the defense around the front and cut off their passing routes. In addition, strengthen the pressing of the midfield, don't let them pass the ball comfortably, expand the defense line, and don't let them shoot too easily." Lippi said.

After 15 minutes, the two sides continued to play.

In the second half of the game, the leading Inter Milan still defended, and Juventus continued to attack.

However, similar to what was copied in the first half, Juventus is still unlucky, or in other words, the Inter Milan players are very tenacious.

Several good opportunities were destroyed by Li Tie.

And Inter Milan's defense line has indeed expanded, Li Tie's running range has become larger, and he is almost everywhere.

Only he can do this kind of running without hesitation.

Ancelotti on the sidelines is still instructing the players to attack Li Tie, mobilize him, let him run, the purpose is to consume Li Tie's physical energy.

However, 70 minutes into the second half, Li Tie was still running all over the field, and now Ancelotti couldn't turn his eyes.

"Fuck, what kind of monster is this? You can still run like this after running for 70 minutes?" Ancelotti couldn't help muttering.

On the contrary, Zidane was a little unable to run, and his muscles were a little strained, so he asked to end the game.

Ancelotti had no choice but to replace Zidane with Trezeguet, and the three forwards continued to rush.

There was a header from Trezeguet when he came up. Zambrotta made a cross from the side. Trezeguet was unguarded and shook his head to attack the goal. As a result, the ball hit the crossbar and popped out of the baseline.

Ancelotti was so angry that he slapped the baffle and missed the goal. This is really unreasonable.

In fact, Trezeguet has not played for a long time, and his state has naturally declined. Vieri and Inzaghi have scored a lot of goals this season. Trezeguet can only be a substitute. The Frenchman has decided to leave Juventus in the summer transfer window. It is reported that Valencia wants to introduce him.

Three minutes later, Vieri's shot was blocked by Chiellini, Trezeguet's supplementary shot was saved by Cech, and then Inzaghi's shot was blocked by Cech's foot from the bottom line!
They didn't score in three consecutive hits. With such an opportunity, the three Juventus forwards really wanted to find a place to drill.

Cech waved his arms and roared. His condition is getting better and better, and he is expected to become the best goalkeeper in Europe and even the world.

The Czech team also benefited. Cech's outstanding performance is likely to lead the Czech team to the 2002 World Cup. At present, they have not conceded a goal in the qualifiers, ranking first in the group.

Li Tie also came over, high-fived Petr Cech and said, "Good job, we won't seal them all, and we will take away three points!"

"Don't worry, captain, I will definitely block all their shots." Cech said proudly.

At the end of the game, Juventus still had the offensive initiative, but it was difficult for them to form effective shots, and Inter Milan's defense became still very active.

In stoppage time, Tacchinati took a long shot into the stands, and the Juventus fans all sighed.

In the end, the game ended, and Inter Milan defeated Juventus by 1 goal in an away game and moved on.

At the press conference after the game, Ancelotti was also impressed by Li Tie: "I have never seen such an all-round player. Li Tie made too many rescues in this game. If there is no Li Tie, we will play a lot of Inter Milan. Congratulations to Inter Milan, congratulations to Li Tie, this season, they are the champions."

Li Tie's personal data shows that his running distance has reached a sky-defying 19800 meters. When he left the field, he was sweating profusely and seemed a little exhausted. He was still drinking water desperately.

After hearing Ancelotti's words, Li Tie smiled and said: "Thank you for Mr. Ancelotti's praise. I just try my best. When we have a goal, we always hope to achieve it. I came to Inter Milan to repay Massimo. I want him to know that I took so much money. It is definitely worth it. Now we are one step closer to the goal. Perhaps this season is the season of harvest. Inter Milan will become the number one club in Serie A again, and it will also make European football fearful." .”

The good news came again. In another game, Roma was tied 2:2 away by Perugia. The point gap was further widened to 11 points. The suspense of the Serie A championship was completely shattered.

The tears Batistuta left after the game were heartbreaking. He had tried his best, but in the end, he still did not get a good result. This season, he abandoned Florence, which he had loyally guarded for many years, and planned to use a championship to comfort his career. In the end, it was still difficult to do so.

Now no one will mention the suspense of the championship anymore. If the Roma team can regain this gap, unless the Inter Milan players have a collective air crash.

After solving Juventus, Inter immediately flew to Liverpool to participate in the first round of the Champions League semi-final.
