The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 332 Breaking the dense defense

Mancini, who was in a hurry, used up the last substitution in the 84th minute and replaced Cordoba with Maicon, who was more capable of assisting.

After Maicon came on the field, he basically played the position of a wing back, so that Inter Milan's actual formation became 334.

Top-heavy and desperate.

Everyone knows that there is not much time left for themselves. During this period of time, Inter Milan played a little impatiently. When they got the ball, they hoisted it to the penalty area to find Adriano.Only Ricardo will be steady when holding the ball, and even control the rhythm backwards and forwards.

Villarreal has completely given up on offense. After Jose Mari was replaced by Franco, they retreated back, and only relied on Fran and Riquelme when counterattacking, and the rest of the players stayed behind. On the field, an airtight defensive posture was discharged.

They vowed to keep the advantage of this hemisphere to the end.

Adriano has never found a chance to kick the ball, and now his shots are still zero.And he didn't play well for his teammates.

On the other hand, Martins got the ball forward once and gave it to Ricardo. Although the angle was relatively small, Ricardo still resolutely shot from the far corner. Unfortunately, the arc was not wide enough to go around the goal.

Is that all?Is that the end of it?Ricardo asked himself.

No, the game is not over yet, there is still a chance.

But where is the opportunity?
Looking at the densely packed thighs in the penalty area of ​​Villarreal, Ricardo forced himself to concentrate and find a way.

There are only two best ways to break the dense defense: a high center forward header, or a long shot from the outside.

But Adriano is not in shape today, so the first method will not work; Vieira is in good shape, and the defense in the penalty area is too dense, and the long-range shot has no angle, so scoring can only rely on luck.

Maybe, try another way...

Although I have never liked to use this trick, but at this time I was forced to try it.

Ricardo, who had made up his mind, kept raising his hands for the ball on the left side of Villarreal's penalty area.

He is the core of the team's current offense. Of course, everyone will give him the ball.

In the 87th minute, Ricardo took the ball again, but soon there were two defensive players, Aruabarena and Senna, in front of him. There was no room for a cross, and it was difficult to break through with the ball. The route has also been cut off.

He controlled the ball, didn't rush into the action and the two defenders didn't rush up.

The Villarreal players would have preferred him to keep the ball until the end of the game if he could.

But of course Ricardo would not delay.He moved quickly, taking a step toward the baseline with a sudden kick, sweeping the heel of his right heel over the ball.

Although the defensive players were not completely deceived, the center of gravity of the two men was shifted a bit.

Ricardo supported with his left foot, then pulled back with his right foot, and took a step to the right while pulling the ball, as if he was going to cut inside.

Aruabarena was unmoved, but Senna ate the move and moved a step after it.

Riccardo swiped the ball with his right foot between Aruabarena and Senna, using his speed to rush in.

Senna and Aruabarena kicked out at the same time, but Ricciardo deftly jumped over their feet and was not blocked.

After passing these two people, he took another small step and entered the restricted area!

But he still didn't have room to pass or shoot, the box was just too dense.

Facing the approaching Pena, Riccardo pulled the ball back with his right foot, then half-turned, and took the football with his left foot to make a circle - a Marseille roundabout!
No one thought that he dared to do this in such a small space, not to mention that Senna and Aruabarena had surrounded him behind him!

What was even more unexpected was that before the action was finished, Ricardo suddenly knocked the ball to his left rear with his right foot, and then he hung on Aru Abarena's leg and fell heavily on the ground. In the restricted area.

The referee ran over and pointed to the penalty spot!
"Penalty kick! The referee gave a penalty kick! Ricardo calmly dribbled against three people in the penalty area and created a penalty kick for Inter Milan! The game has gone to the 87th minute, this is Inter Milan's best chance !If they score this penalty, they will have a great chance to reach the final four!"

"Villarreal's players are protesting around the referee, Arua Barrena gets a yellow card, even if Inter misses the penalty and Villarreal advances to the next round, he will miss it Next match!"

"Riccardo once again brought a glimmer of life to Inter Milan! Let's see if Inter Milan can seize this opportunity!"

Adriano came to the penalty spot with the football in his arms. Just as he put it away, Ricardo stepped forward and said calmly, "I will take the penalty."

"I'll fine it," Adriano said impatiently. He still has zero shots. "I'm sure."

"I come."

Once Ricardo, who is usually very modest, perseveres, he feels irresistible.

Adriano glanced at him, shook his head and backed away silently.

What is the most important penalty kick?It's not footwork, it's not strength, it's mentality.

And Ricardo played football for 20 years in his previous life, and his mentality has long been tempered.

He stood in front of the ball calmly, waiting for the crowd to disperse, waiting for the referee to blow his whistle.

He didn't want to use this method to make points, but the situation was too critical, and the team was already on the verge of being eliminated, so he had to make a bad move.

In order to meet Ronaldo in the semi-finals of the Champions League, even if he had to dive, he was willing to do it, not to mention just making it on purpose.

His eyes have been fixed on Villarreal's goalkeeper Vieira. The contest between the shooter and the goalkeeper has actually begun from this moment.

Some free throwers will deliberately lower their heads to avoid the goalkeeper's gaze, while others will be more aggressive.

Ricardo just looked at Vieira quietly, showing his calmness and confidence, which would put great pressure on his opponent.

Vieira danced on the line, then bent over in a saving position.

Where will he pounce?

Ricardo didn't care.Anyway, he should control his shooting better, so that he can't catch the ball even if he hits the goal.

Of course, maybe, it can also be like that...

The referee blows his whistle.Ricardo took a few steps back and started to run.

Every step of his is carefully controlled, and finally his left foot is on the left side of the football, the studs are deeply buckled into the lawn, and his right foot exerts force suddenly, swinging at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Vieira jumped up like a spring and rushed to the right side of the goal.

The swing speed of Ricardo's calf suddenly slowed down, his toe kicked the lower part of the football, and the football flew up slowly towards the middle of the goal.

"Riccardo Goal! He has a big heart! Such a crucial penalty, he even kicked a spoon penalty! Vieira threw it in the wrong direction!"

"Inter Milan has stepped into the threshold of the top 4 with one foot!"
