Chapter 397 Falling Leaves Ball

The atmosphere in Rome is a bit heavy, and Capello is angry because he has not found any good way to attack Inter Milan.

And the unlucky ones are the Roma players. Capello's temper is not small. He yelled in the locker room, and the players were trembling. They didn't dare to say it, for fear of saying the wrong sentence. , Provoking Capello's censure.

How can this kind of emotion make the players perform well? The second half is the best evidence.

After the opening, the Romans continued to attack from both sides. Vincent turned his head to look at Capello and said to himself, "Brother, can't we change our routine?"

Really can't come, Capello doesn't want to change at all, but continues to force his players, let the two sides continue to attack Bordeaux's defense.

Candela and Cafu really tried their best. They were the two of them who had been attacking in the first 45 minutes. Now in the last 45 minutes, they are still the two of them. To be honest, the physical energy consumption is not small, but the effect is really mediocre.

Capello looked at the players on the bench again. There are not many players. You can't expect a Japanese to break Inter Milan's hand, but he does have two weapons, one is Montella, the other One is Assuncao's free kick, but both of these require certain conditions. Montella needs someone to pass the ball to him, while Assuncao needs a free kick in a good position.

Thinking of this, Capello gritted his teeth. They are all defensive midfielders anyway, so it might as well be replaced by someone who can kick free kicks.So Rome's first substitution happened like this. They replaced C. Zanetti and replaced Assuncao, of course, because of his free kick.

In the 57th minute, Inter Milan really gave Assuncao a chance. About 15 meters in front of the penalty area, because Emerson and Pirlo caught Totti for a foul, the referee gave Roma a free kick.

Standing in front of the ball was of course Assuncao who had just been replaced, and Assuncao was not too polite, he was already recognized as the best free kick player in the team.Assuncao had a short run-up distance, two or three steps, and then shot the ball towards the top right corner of Inter Milan's goal. Frey flew out, but he missed the ball, but the same ball did not fly into the goal. Instead, he rubbed against the pillar and flew out of the bottom line.

"It's dangerous." Fan Shang let out a long sigh of relief.This ball is really dangerous, just a little bit short, which may be the reason why Assuncao didn't let go all the way when he first came on the court.

"Stop fouling!" Fan Shang shouted on the court, Fan Shang was really scared.But fortunately, even if Roma wants to make a free kick, they are already used to splitting the ball to the two sides, so there are not many opportunities in the middle.

In the 67th minute, Candela fell to the ground after completing a cross. It seemed that he was exhausted. Is there anyone else available on the side of Rome?There must be, but it is definitely not at the level of Candela and Cafu.

The team doctors also understood this, so when they treated Candela, they kept massaging his legs. In fact, Candela was fine, but he was still a little tired and needed to take a breath.

Vincent made the first personnel adjustment of Inter Milan in the 68th minute. You are not a free kick master, so I will come too. Inter Milan replaced Recoba and Chiesa.

Recoba's direct free kick is no worse than that of Assuncao, and Vincent is also playing with Capello.

In the 71st minute, Recoba himself created a direct free kick on the left side of the Roma penalty area. He, Pirlo and Blanco all stood in front of the ball.

Since it was on the left side, Recoba's left-footed shot might be a little awkward, so the three discussed it, and Vincent also called the captain Zanetti who was lagging behind, and asked him to convey his opinion to the three. .

At this time, the three turned their heads to look at Fan Shang at the same time, and then nodded at Fan Shang at the same time, letting Fan Shang know that they had received the instructions.

After looking at Fan Shang, the three looked at the goal again, preparing for a free throw.

When the referee's whistle sounded, Recoba had already started to run, he is now the most threatening free kick player on the Inter Milan field, so when he started, the attention of Roma's defenders was focused on him.

But Recoba let them down. He flew over the ball lightly, and then squeezed into the wall, using hand-to-hand combat that he was not good at, trying his best to squeeze a gap for the free throwers behind.

After him, Blanco started to run, and his powerful free kicks often scored goals. Now the Roma players have reacted. Recoba squeezed a gap for Blanco, and then let Blanco volleys.

At the moment Blanco swung his legs, the walls of Rome had already started to take off, but he just made a joke with them, his legs swung, but instead of kicking the ball, he rubbed against the ball. Over the shoulder, kicking the air beside the ball.

The real killer move of Inter Milan is the last and most unknown Pirlo. The young Pirlo has not yet had the feeling of a "leaf ball" master, but he has already started to practice this kind of ball under the guidance of Vincent. Now is the time to combine theory with practice, especially now that there are two teammates in front of him who are selflessly covering themselves.

Pirlo didn't even have time to adjust his breathing. After the other two ran out, Pirlo also started running. The moment he lifted his foot, the Roman wall was now in a state of just landing from the air, and there was nothing Way to do it, Pirlo's free throw easily crossed the wall.

Fortunately, Recoba and Blanco helped Pirlo shake the wall. To be honest, the height is not enough. If a 185cm player takes off, he should be able to touch it.

But if there is no if, the ball easily flew over the wall, and then accelerated to the lower left corner. Roma goalkeeper Antonioli was also deceived by his own wall. Just now his toes were off the ground, and now he has really arrived When the ball came, he was half a beat behind, and after the ball bounced into the goal, he appeared in this position.

Then there is no way, the goal is valid, Inter Milan extended the score, 2:0
Pirlo himself was a little confused. He really didn't expect to score this time. Although he felt really good when he kicked the ball, he was a little afraid to score for Inter Milan in the exact match. believe.

But a general is a general. After a brief absence, Pirlo reacted and raised his arms and shouted to celebrate his goal.
