ball magic

After guessing the side, Raphael also returned to the middle circle, ready to kick off.

While there was still some time, he glanced at the opposite station.

In fact, there is nothing to look at. When the entire European continent is undergoing vigorous changes in the three-back system, the British Peninsula is still a 442 world.

And their opponents today, although they look like half an Italian team, are still not "unconventional" enough to catch up with this wave of trends.

But Rafael is also very clear that Inter Milan is also regarded as a wonderful work among Serie A teams.

They are now the only 2 teams in Serie A still playing back four and the only one playing attacking football.

One is not very Premier League, and the other is not very Serie A.

The less Premier League team has an Italian coach and captain.

The head coach and captain of the less Serie A team are British.

After summarizing each item, Raphael felt that today's game was extremely interesting.

And the acquaintance on the opposite side also made him very interesting, because the acquaintance was either from Juventus or joined from AC Milan.

Speaking of this, today's referee is also an old acquaintance, the referee Frisk from Sweden.

It was the referee who called off their Champions League final against Bayern Munich.

It is also beneficial to Inter Milan because of the understanding of Frisk's whistleblowing scale.

As soon as Frisk whistled, Rafael and Simeone kicked off.

Simeone moved forward quickly, but Raphael controlled the ball under his feet, with a leisurely pace and no rush.

Of course he is not in a hurry, because the person defending him is Deschamps. In the past two years, he and Deschamps have played against each other seven or eight times at least.

Two years have passed, the ruthlessness of time and the cruelty of the giants made the Juventus captain follow the path of his predecessor, Vialli, to the Premier League and to Chelsea.

But the 31-year-old Deschamps doesn't think he is old. The only reason why he doesn't get close to Raphael immediately is because he knows that Raphael will definitely move forward.

No matter what he does with the ball, he always has to get close to the box.

And if he closes the distance with Raphael now, once Raphael starts, it will be impossible for him to keep up.

As a new player who just joined Chelsea this season, he doesn't want fans to see that he can only follow behind Rafael, but can't see the unbearable scene of "exhaust gas".

Didier Deschamps was clearly right, Raphael was just waiting for his team-mate up front to get into position.

But the correct judgment did not give Deschamps more help, and Rafael still sent a long pass under his pressure.

Raphael's passing goal is very clear, not Vieri, who has scored 4 goals in the last 5 games and contributed an average of 1.5 goals per game.

But such a powerful and stylish bobo has become the key target of Chelsea's defense.

And Chelsea coach Vialli's arrangement is also very interesting,

Just as the one defending him was Deschamps, the one in charge of guarding Bobo was Desailly, they were all opponents who couldn't be more familiar with each other.

But he didn't want to find Vieri, but found Ronaldo according to the routine discussed before the game!

"Beautiful cross! Rafael pulls a great long pass to the wing! I think Manchester United fans will find this scene very familiar..."

Familiar with more than Manchester United fans?

Chelsea fans also feel that this ball is too familiar!

I saw the ball turned a corner and found Ronaldo who was ready to go!

Seeing Ronaldo unloading the ball in a cool way, and his movements cohesively swaying past Poyer, Rafael couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Although the game has just started, Ronaldo's state today is the best since the start of the season.

The good form allowed Ronaldo to easily pass Poyer, and Poyer saw that he was about to break into the penalty area, so he fell to the ground and hooked him without thinking.

Boye who fouled was also very bitter!

Who would have thought that the ball could turn a corner, his reaction was half a beat slow, and Ronaldo was on the opposite side, which made him send a foul in less than ten seconds of the opening!

The referee Frisk blew his whistle without hesitation.

It may also be a matter of time, and the foul was not in the penalty area, so he only gave a free kick, allowing Poyer to escape a yellow card.

This is obviously a scene that Chelsea fans don't want to see. They booed the referee one after another, but when they saw Rafael walking towards the penalty spot, they stopped booing again aggrieved.

As the youngest free-kick masters in football, they would rather see how Rafael handles the ball than boos to Rafael, and... pray for good luck for their goalkeeper Goy.

Raphael walked to the foul spot, set the ball up first, and then began to observe.

This ball is not easy to play.

First of all, it is too close to the goal, and the average altitude of Chelsea is too high. They even have a player who fell to the ground and blocked the bottom, and the space for walking underground was also blocked.

These lead to the goalkeeper being able to easily block close corners, and the shooting angles he can choose are very limited.

Obviously for this game, Vialli also made full preparations.

"How do you plan to play?" Figo leaned over and asked, he also felt that the ball was difficult to handle.

Raphael checked the human wall again, calculated their height after jumping, and then replied: "Create a cover for me, I'll try to see if I can pass the human wall."

Figo nodded knowingly.

The next moment Raphael took a few steps back, and Figo, who had repositioned himself to find a good angle, had already stood still.

The moment Frisk blew the whistle, Figo took the lead, and the human wall loosened a little under the leadership of the Inter players, and that was enough!

Success or failure is at one stroke, which allows Rafael not to let his eyes leave the ball even after finishing the shot.

He kicked a beautiful arc, and whether it can fly into the goal according to the arc he calculated depends on... luck.

Every goal requires a little luck.

And his luck today is obviously good!

Raphael grinned as the ball brushed over Boyer's head.

It was a flamboyant arc at first, but after flying over the human wall, it was so graceful and quiet.

It wraps around the ball, like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, spinning, and floats into the net.

This also made Raphael's mood jump for joy, because this is a perfect attempt!

This is the first time he kicked such a beautiful deciduous ball!

The applause gradually sounded, gradually gathered, and after just a few seconds, the sound was like thunder.

Surrounded by applause, Raphael raised his hands, and a big heart grew in the air.

It was a trick his silicon-based friends taught him to please his lovers, and he vetoed it without hesitation.

Showing love with such a big heart on the court is too exaggerated and will definitely be taught by Aima, so he changed it to blowing kisses.

But it may be a good choice to use this action to give back to the fans now?

His eyes and his ears told him that the Chelsea fans were very happy!

At this time, other teammates came to celebrate with him, and Figo praised him immediately.

Everyone loves Rainbow Farts, and Rafa is no exception.

What's more, Figo is still a top free kick master?

Recognition like this is always rare.

And it wasn't just Figo who sent the rainbow fart, Rafael smiled and said "luck".

His luck is good. If Poyer had been an inch taller, everything would have been different.

But the truth may not be pleasing sometimes, at least Figo gave him a supercilious look, and Simeone and the others booed him.

"Excessive modesty is pride!"

"You are too polite, we call him Arrogant No. [-] in the national team."

Someone immediately asked: "Who is that?"

Simeone asked back: "Do you still need to ask?"

Raphael glared at the idiot directly, and didn't even look at who the opposite person was!

The one who came over with the ball and interjected was none other than Chelsea captain Zola!

Zola smiled at Simeone's surprised expression, and gave Raphael a thumbs up.

Raphael glanced at the bewildered Simeone and speeded up.

Conceding the goal at the beginning was not what Chelsea expected. Now they must use the fastest speed to equalize the score, otherwise the goal will not be easy to play.

Vialli is also reminding the players.

Different from his busy counterparts, the old Robson sat on the bench and wrote and drew in his notebook. Now Mourinho is commanding instead of him.

When Chelsea started to attack, Rafael found that the old Robson really knew enough about the English team.

Partnering with Zola today is Torre Andre Flo.

With a height of 193 centimeters, Flo is an out-and-out air fighter. Paired with "Banta Tiger" Zola, this is England's most traditional combination of two strikers, one high and one fast, complementing each other.

If it weren't for a tower like Stam, Inter Milan's defense would face a huge threat!

And even if there is Stam, there is only one Stam, and there is a group of high altitude opposite!

So in the following time, the scene is both boring and exciting.

I say it is boring because Chelsea's tactics are so boring, and the excitement is that the high-altitude alarm has been sounded repeatedly in front of Inter Milan's goal!

In the 11th minute, Dan Petrescu won Chelsea's fourth corner kick since the opening in the hopeless shot.

Dan Petrescu took the corner himself, but this time he did not find Flo, who was guarded by Stam, but drove the ball to the back point.

The left-back Baba Yaluo, who suddenly burst out, poked the ball in amidst the chaos!

Mourinho was very depressed about this conceded goal!

The team's defense is mainly caught by him. Before the game, he repeatedly emphasized that he even showed the players a video of Chelsea's set-pieces, and the result was whether to lose or lose.

His exaggerated body movements because of depression also won him the favor of the camera.

When he took over as the coach of the Blues in the future, the British media dug up this paragraph when they dug up his past. Only then did Chelsea fans know that they had already become attached to the new coach.

Old Robson was much calmer.

He is mentally prepared for such a situation.

After the match against Roma, the news that they injured two goalkeepers in a row spread early.

In addition, he called up two goalkeepers who were younger than Frazzolini from the second team, and this news cannot be concealed.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

When Pagliuca stood in front of their goal, the Italian goalkeeper came with a 3-point deterrent.

But when they stood in front of the teenager Frazzolini, any player had more confidence when shooting.

This ebb and flow, coupled with the fact that Chelsea will fight for corner kicks whenever they have a chance, it is inevitable that they will score goals.

So the old Robson calmed down the players on the sidelines, controlled the ball at their feet, and brought the game into their rhythm.

As a result, before he could walk to the sidelines, Almeida was injured while fighting Daniel Wise for the top...

Old Robson's face turned black!

Almeida's appearance is not good, and his reputation is not obvious. He is the blue-collar of the blue-collars in the team, but he is also the only true defensive expert in the team.

Losing him will have a huge impact on the next game.

At this time, the old Robson allowed Mourinho to protest with the fourth official, patrolled the bench, and made a difficult choice among Pirlo, Juan and Winter, and finally let Pirlo warm up.

Replacing Almeida with Winter is a match-up substitution, but the Dutchman's defensive ability is a bit lacking compared to the injured Almeida.

Since it wasn't the best choice, the old Robson made his own choice.

After Mourinho was warned by the fourth official, he turned his head and saw Pirlo warming up.

He glanced at Almeida who was walking off the court again, and couldn't help sighing in his heart

Bobby is still Bobby!

After Almeida left the field, Chelsea immediately bombarded Inter Milan, and Raphael had already retreated to the goal.

If you let him evaluate, he is more like a defender in this game, and the time he spends in clearing and fighting for the top is far better than his time in organizing offenses.

I don't know if it's because he has already conceded a goal, and Frazzolini has also stiffened up and dared to command others, even including him.

Rafael was happy to obey his arrangement and expressed his support for him with actions. In addition, they drove the bus to the door, and they could make a long pass to find Ronaldo when they found a gap. On the contrary, they played much better than before.

What Raphael didn't know was that Fabio Caresa was also teasing them in the live broadcast room of Sky Italia TV for playing more like an Italian team.

But this is obviously not the pursuit of the old Robson.

When Pirlo warmed up and came back, the old gentleman told him: "Andrea, I need you to help Rafa share the assists, and he wants to help Diego Simeone share the defense. This is what you are best at.

Discuss with Rafa what position to play, play smart and flexible, I don't want you to get hurt again! "

Has the head coach ordered him?

ordered.

But the arrangement given to him by the head coach is to let him listen to the captain's arrangement?

Pirlo thought it was the funniest arrangement he had ever heard.

Pirlo just entered the field in a daze, summed up what the old Robson said, and told Rafael.

"Front waist and rear position" immediately popped up in Raphael's mind, which is a word tailored for Pirlo.

This will obviously allow Pirlo to take away his possession of the ball, but the old Robson made it very clear that he has to share the defense for Simeone.

So Raphael spoke quickly: "Then follow Bobby's orders. Diego and I will cover you. Wherever there is a suitable space for you, you can go there."

Pirlo: "..."

What did my captain say?

But he has no time to ask any more questions, the game has resumed.

It didn't take a few seconds for him to realize that he didn't need to panic. He enjoyed the super treatment that Juan had received before, but this time it was not Almeida and Simeone who escorted him, but Rafael and Simeone.

Raphael allows him to go where there is space. Now Raphael is on the left and Simeone is on the right. He is full of security and of course stays in his favorite center.

When he noticed that Rafael was passing the ball to him more and let him take the lead, he finally realized Raphael's intention in his heart.

The old Robson was on the sidelines with both hands in his pockets.

It's not that he pretends to be cool, but that he is cold.

Late at night in London in mid-to-late September, he felt too cool even in a coat.

After Pirlo came on the field, he saw that Raphael really took the initiative to take care of him. This thoughtfulness was left to Djorkaeff one-third, and the "big snake" would not leave Inter Milan without looking back.

This is growth...

thought old Robson.

He actually doesn't care what formation the players play, and prefers to make it "just right".

Whether they play comfortably or not, they know best.

And his coaching philosophy is to strive to make most players play comfortably.

At the moment Pirlo is playing very comfortably, with one less top engineer and one more embroidered man, Inter Milan gradually controls the rhythm.

By the time the Chelsea fans in the stands realized the problem belatedly, they hadn't been close to Inter Milan's goal for a long time, because their players couldn't control the ball at all!

However, Inter Milan's offense is blooming everywhere, either Rafael creates threats on the left, or Figo cuts in on the right, or the threats created by Vieri and Ronaldo...

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Inter Milan opened again, and it was Ronaldo who scored the goal!

Ronaldo, who finally scored, was extremely excited, and his celebration showed it.

When he saw him holding Bobo's hand and the two running side by side, Rafael gave him a thumbs up for his wit.

Yes, he knew that Ronaldo might celebrate like that, and he played the "victim" role too.
