Chapter 333 The Super Trident that Becomes Real

"According to the news from the Inter Milan club, more than 70,000 fans flocked to the Meazza Stadium in this game. It is obvious that Inter Milan fans are very interested in this game. Cooper announced yesterday that Inter Milan's starting lineup today. Tiger, Vieri and Ronaldo appeared in the starting lineup together, which is undoubtedly a huge factor that stimulates the attendance of the stadium."

Countless Inter Milan fans began to flock to Meacha Stadium. The Serie A this season was postponed for various reasons. After digesting the World Cup, Inter Milan fans have not seen the team's game for a long time. Tiger, Vieri and Ronaldo's trident combination scored a total of 20 goals in this World Cup (Vieri scored four goals in four games, Tiger and Ronaldo scored eight goals in seven games) appeared together, which made people look forward to what would happen in this game.

One of the big highlights in football games is watching the stars. Most fans cannot avoid this.

"With Tiger, Ronnie's injury has healed again, plus Bobo... we can break through the goal of all teams!" An Inter Milan fan said excitedly in an interview.

The words of this fan are basically the voices of Inter Milan fans. Although the news that Ronaldo wanted to leave Inter Milan and had a disagreement with Cooper made them feel unhappy, since Ronaldo has decided to stay and Cooper has also put Ronaldo on the starting lineup, they will still support their "holy infant" and "phenomenon" as before.

"The core of Sporting Lisbon's offensive is their captain Barsabo, who cuts off the connection between him and his teammates, pay attention to the area he controls when defending, and hand over the ball to Tiger more on the offense and let him organize the offense. Although there have been a few days of training together, I believe you are all professional players and should know how to cooperate on the court... Do you understand?"

This is the only thing Cooper said in the locker room.

Amid the cheers of 70,000 Inter Milan fans, Inter Milan players walked into the stadium. For most Inter Milan players, they were convinced of Tiger's previous achievements and skills shown in training. However, after only one week of training, Cooper was given the task of freely organizing on the court. They still had great doubts about Tiger being able to do this.

However, Tiger knew in his heart that in fact, this was also an opportunity Cooper gave him to quickly establish a position among his teammates.

In this lineup, what he actually needs to cooperate more is just the two super forwards in front of him - a preliminary tacit understanding with such top players is not needed much time. What's more, Tiger understands the technical characteristics of Vieri and Ronaldo. What he needs to do is just a series of connections. With Tiger's characteristics, it is not very difficult to do this.

However, doing something that is "almost impossible" in the eyes of others is enough to allow Tiger to establish his prestige and status on the court - Cooper also took great pains to do this.

When shaking hands with the opponent's players, Tiger felt the attention of the opponent's players - the name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and the outstanding performance in the World Cup made Tiger's fame unparalleled, and also made him a thorn in the eyes of all opponents. Just as the Netherlands was eliminated by Brazil in the 1998 World Cup, the Dutch midfielder Davis still said proudly after the game: "The thing I am most proud of is to stop Ronaldo's shot when he thought he was going to score." Tiger is even more popular than Ronaldo in 1998...

The first one to kick off was Sporting Lisbon - and what was a bit surprising was that at the beginning of the game, Sporting Lisbon launched a fierce attack, trying to score a goal away from home!

Zero to zero at home, if you can score the first goal away game, it will be a considerable advantage - this is the idea in Sporting Lisbon.

However, what they did not expect was that Inter Milan, which was full of momentum before the game, actually adopted a tactic that was mainly based on defense...

Cooper has always been a head coach who prefers defense, and after zero away games and zero away games, he is even more unable to concede the ball at home. Cooper also knows that although there is only one defensive midfielder in the midfield, he still warns two wing forwards Concesan and Dalma before the game starts, so that they should also participate more actively in the return to defense - and in terms of offense, he handed them all over to Tiger and their trident...

This is another type of defensive counterattack, which uses a tight defensive formation to fight the opponent's offense in the backcourt, and allows several talented players to toss in the frontcourt. This tactic has already taken shape last season, and Tiger's arrival this season gives him the confidence to play this tactic - most of last season Ronaldo and Vieri were constantly injured, and other forwards did not have such ability. Now, he has players on hand who can change the results of the game.

Sporting Lisbon's offense encountered a wall - after Cooper's training, Inter Milan's overall defense has improved a lot. From the technical perspective, although neither Matrazi nor Cordoba are the kind of players who can organize the defense line (this is why Cooper always wants Nesta instead of Cannavaro), the two people are tall and brave, and the other is short and flexible, and can complement each other in the technical aspects. With Dibiagio's protection at the front of the penalty area, it is difficult for Sporting Lisbon to score from the middle.

On the side, Inter Milan's right defense includes Sanetti and the retreating Concesan. It is solid in defense, only the left defense is slightly weaker, Dalma's defense is average, and Koko is alone and can't stand it...

After a period of fierce attack, Sporting Lisbon, who had no chance to enter the penalty area, could only complete the first shot of the game outside the penalty area. However, under the interference of Dibiagio, Barsabo's long-range shot directly missed. After withstanding the opponent's attack, Inter Milan launched a counterattack!

Tordo passed the ball to Zanetti on the right, and Zanetti directly passed the ball to Dibiagio in the middle. Dibiagio stopped the ball and saw Tiger retreating his position a little, he immediately raised his foot and passed the ball over.

"If you have the chance, pass the ball to Tiger and let him organize it." - This is Cooper's original words.

So Dibiagio faithfully carried out Cooper's instructions, and he also wanted to see what method Tiger could use to establish a tacit understanding with his teammates within a week!

Tiger received the ball and turned around. Now he was at a little behind Inter Milan's halftime, but the players of Sporting Lisbon still did not look down on him at all. The two midfielders immediately rushed over from the left and right.

However, Tiger did not show his extraordinary skills. Instead, the moment he took the ball, he immediately swung his right foot and passed it straight to the ground!

This was a pass that pierced through the center of the court. The ball flew past two Sporting Lisbon players and flew directly to Sporting Lisbon's half!

When the camera moved towards Sporting Lisbon's halftime as the ball rolled, fans were shocked to find that as the ball flew, Ronaldo had already rushed through the middle of the two defenders and rushed into Sporting Lisbon's halftime!

It was not until Ronaldo took off Tiger's pass without any effort and then drove the ball straight to the opponent's penalty area that huge cheers and applause rang out in the stands!

The next thing is simple.

Although Ronaldo's current size is already bloated compared to before, although his long-distance running ability has decreased due to injury, his speed is still extremely fast in the short-distance sprint. No Sporting Lisbon defender could catch up with him. Facing the attacking Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Thiago, Ronaldo did not use his signature pendulum-style transient movement before his injury, but calmly calmly when Thiago was halfway through the attack. The ball flew over Thiago's body and then flew directly into the empty goal!

Amid the cheers of the fans in the stands, Ronaldo ran around the stadium with his arms open, then he ran directly to Tiger and then high-fives with Tiger!

"It's beautifully spread, Tiger!" Ronaldo shouted excitedly. When he was in one shot, he once again felt the feeling of running happily on the court without anyone on the court!

Of course, Ronaldo knew what it felt like - this was because Tiger's pass happened to match his forward rushing pace, which made him feel unpleasant in the process of dribbling the ball, and made him suffer the least amount of obstacles!

Inter Milan players ran up to congratulate Tiger and Ronaldo - they were both people who knew the goods, so they naturally knew how difficult it was for Tiger's 30-meter-long direct pass. It was not only a test of personal technology, but also a verification of the familiarity between Tiger and Ronaldo!

Tiger really did it! After a week of training, he was so familiar with Ronaldo!

The players in doubting Inter Milan naturally would not know that although Tiger had not cooperated with Ronaldo before, Tiger has always had a habit of observing the performance of the opponent's players in the game more in the game. He carefully observed Ronaldo's game characteristics in the World Cup. In addition, after this period of training, he became a little familiar with Ronaldo. On the contrary, he was not so familiar with Vieri...

The straight pass just now, before receiving the ball, Tiger observed that Ronaldo was running forward, and it was a premeditated pass...

"This straight pass is really wonderful! The ball instantly crossed the heavy defense in the middle of Sporting Lisbon and fell directly to Ronaldo... Ronaldo only needs to run forward, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, and run to run a single shot... My friend in Spain is right. Tiger's value is not only that he can score many goals on the court, but his wonderful performances on the court run from beginning to end! If most technical players' gorgeous performances are sometimes not sometimes there, then Tiger's performances are like rivers! As long as he is on the court, the wonderful performances will continue to be extinct!"

The commentator of the Italian national team TV station praised Tiger's pass, and Ronaldo also praised the goal: "There were some problems between Ronaldo and Inter Milan before, but now it seems that these problems have been solved... Introducing Tiger and leaving Ronaldo, Inter Milan's spending this summer is not particularly much. However, compared with the spending of hundreds of millions of dollars on reorganizing the team in the previous two seasons, it is much more affordable..."

In the stands of Meacha Stadium, Morati, who was sitting in the ordinary stand, jumped up when Tiger passed the ball. After Ronaldo made a single shot and scored the first record for the team, Morati was even more excited to hug the people around him, and then kept waving his fists into the field!

When Inter Milan was at home, Moratti in the stands had already become a scenic spot. The camera gave Inter Milan's president a shot at a time: "Moatti seemed very excited... But no wonder, whether it was the previous Ronaldo-Royce combination (Ronaldo and Robert Baggio) or the Ronaldo-Vie combination, they only appeared on paper, but they rarely got together in reality. This time, the most expensive frontcourt trident in history appeared in front of everyone at the first home court! At the same time, Ronaldo and Tiger immediately completed a beautiful cooperation!"

Amid the joy of Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon was a little discouraged - he suppressed the opponent at the beginning, but couldn't score, and then he scored the goal as soon as the opponent counterattacked. It gave people the feeling that Inter Milan didn't take it seriously at the beginning, and then he drew Sporting Lisbon as soon as he was serious. This feeling really makes people feel uncomfortable.

However, not everyone will feel frustrated, at least their captain Valsabo and young wing player Ricardo Quaresma are feeling unwilling to admit defeat!

Just one goal behind! As long as you can equalize the score, the situation will instantly turn to Sporting Lisbon!

Barsabo and Quaresma thought in their hearts at the same time.

Leading by these two midfielders, after re-starting, Sporting Lisbon launched a fierce counterattack and continued to attack from the seemingly weak left. Quaresma became a vanguard, constantly breaking through Koko's defense through his outstanding skills on the left to create opportunities for the two forwards in the middle. Koko kept fighting with Quaresma to resist Sporting Lisbon's attack.

After getting the ball in the backcourt, Inter Milan basically passed it directly to Tiger. This practice naturally attracted the attention of the opponent. They kept trying to cut off the connection between Tiger and his teammates, but they found that they could not do this at all, because Tiger was always running and then appeared in the most suitable place. Teammates just need to look up, see him, and pass the ball over...

After finding it difficult to cut off the passes from others to Tiger, the players of Sporting Lisbon began to use the man-tapping tactic to deal with Tiger, because Tiger is always at the back, and the midfielders of Inter Milan's wings cannot keep up because they return to defense deeper. Tiger always doesn't have many pass targets after receiving the ball...

However, they still underestimated Tiger's ball control and breakthrough ability, which was related to their lack of experience in dealing with Tiger. Next, the fans of Meacha Stadium began to appreciate Tiger's ball control skills!

Portugal is the representative team of the European Latinists. The personal abilities of Portuguese players are often quite excellent, which is shown in their ball control skills. However, this time they found that the British's skills are not only not worse than them, but also more sophisticated and excellent than them!

Whether it was controlling the ball on the spot or getting rid of the extraordinary, then cooperating with Ronaldo and Vieri in the front, Tiger almost did not concede the ball on the court. Every time he got the ball, the players of Sporting Lisbon had to return to defend a large part of it. Until they resisted Inter Milan's attack, they were able to organize the attack again...

This situation made Sporting Lisbon's offense stumbling and even more unable to cause too much trouble to Inter Milan's defense line.

After gradually becoming proficient, Tiger was like a tiger who began to become familiar with the new forest, and began to gradually show his sharp minions!

In the 16th minute, Tiger passed the ball in the middle. After Dalma received the ball, he shot from a long shot outside the penalty area. The opponent's goalkeeper saved the ball, but he took the lead and cleared the ball.

In the 22nd minute, Tiger broke through and made a free kick, and took the penalty slightly missed. This was his first shot in this game.

In the 27th minute, Tiger passed the ball to Vieri, and Vieri shot and shot the opponent's defender, and was thrown under him by the goalkeeper.

After gradually instigating the offense, Tiger completed a landmark personal breakthrough in the 32nd minute!

After receiving Dalma's pass from the midfield, Tiger first pretended to pass the ball to Kong Saisan on the right, which attracted the defensive player in front of him to block it, but then quickly dunked the ball in the opposite direction and then drove the ball forward!

After getting rid of one player, Tiger's dribbling speed began to increase. Although there were several players around him defending, they did not dare to make any moves in Tiger's excellent ball control and beautiful forward insertion, so they could only fight and retreat.

After breaking through to the front of the penalty area, Tiger made a pass to Vieri first, then quickly dunked the ball back, then swung his right leg and shot the ball out!

Thiago made a wonderful save, hitting the ball out of the baseline with one hand, and a corner kick - until this time, the sighs of Inter Milan fans sounded in the stands.

Tiger is still punished by this corner kick. After coming to Inter Milan, he was all set pieces in the frontcourt. It has almost become an indisputable fact after Tiger showed his set pieces skills on the training ground. Recoba's set pieces may not be worse than him, but Recoba is not the absolute main force...
