Chapter 348 The War for Records

Tiger's run into the penalty area attracted the attention of Xavi and Koku. With Vieri's height, he could easily pass the ball to Tiger under the defense of Puyol and Debor. Tiger only needed an acceleration to temporarily shake off the defense of Koku and Xavi. It only took a moment to finish the shot!

It is precisely because of this that in addition to Koku and Xavi trying hard to get involved with Tiger, goalkeeper Bonano also focused more on Tiger - he believed that Vieri's header would not be too threatening in the pinch of Puyol and Debor...

Indeed, the interference between Puyol and Debor caused great trouble to Vieri, but at Tiger's reminder, Vieri would choose another way to attack...

Facing the falling ball, Vieri did not directly sway his head, but lowered his head first, and then accurately topped his head a little below the ball...

The ball under the force on the side immediately jumped up, then drew a parabola in the air and headed straight to the far corner of the goal.

Bonano was originally standing in the center of the goal close to the post, which was to prevent Vieri from heading towards the closer point that was easier to score and to insert Tiger into the middle.

However, Vieri headed the ball to the far corner!

Although Vieri did not use too much effort to pursue angles, the ball naturally carries kinetic energy and potential energy in the process of crossing and falling. In addition, Vieri cleverly used the force to head the ball, and the ball flew to the back point of the goal at all at all!

Bonano judged the flight trajectory of the ball, quickly moved back a few steps, then jumped up and reached out to support the ball - and then he began to regret why he didn't jump high enough - although Bonano had tried his best to stretch his arms in the air, he could only watch the ball fall from his hand, and then fell into the back point of the goal obliquely...

Gabri's foot, who ran towards the goal to solve the goal, could not touch the ball, and the ball fell directly into the goal!

More than 80,000 Barcelona fans in the audience let out huge sighs at the same time, while thousands of Inter Milan fans who came to the Camp Nou were cheering!

"The ball is in! Vieri! Ronaldo, who has scored nine goals in the Champions League, is absent due to injury. When everyone doubts who Inter Milan can rely on to score goals, Vieri proves that he can not only score in the league, but also in the Champions League! A beautiful header... a lob shot, directly hit the far corner of the goal! Recoba made this goal with an accurate cross, and it was Tiger who instigated the ball. Even without Ronaldo, Inter Milan's trident is still the strongest in Europe! Barcelona is in trouble, and being led by Inter Milan is not a good thing, and their condition in the league has been a bit too bad recently..."

As Inter Milan players celebrated, Barcelona players almost became the background. Their performance has been very average since the beginning of the season. Rivaldo, a player who has been the core of Barcelona's offensive since 1997, has caused too much loss. In the past five seasons, Rivaldo has been the heart and source of Barcelona! The loss caused by such a player's departure is even greater than that of Figo's departure. Perhaps in the long run, it is a good thing to terminate the contract with Rivaldo, whose salary has reached 6 million US dollars a year, but the impact on the performance is real. Although Rivaldo, who has introduced younger and less salary, Rivaldo is far from replacing Rivaldo's role - they are two types of players at all!

But Barcelona is an excellent team after all, a top giant. Even if this kind of team is at a low point, it is definitely a centipede, and it will not be dead!

In the 38th minute, Xavi, a young player who was in front, made a beautiful straight pass. The ball passed through the middle of two Inter Milan's back midfielders, and then accurately landed at Saviola's feet. After receiving the ball, the "Bunny" suddenly dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough with a diagonal line, rushed past Gamala, who was unable to react, and immediately took a left foot and shot in the penalty area!

The ball flew into the near corner of the goal accurately. Tordo's fall was a step slower. The ball flew into the goal against the near post, and Barcelona tied the score!

The fans of Barcelona were finally able to burst into huge cheers. At Camp Nou, their dignity cannot be defiled!

Tiger shook his head helplessly. Toldo was not afraid of high balls, but he was really lacking in height with his height. Saviola's shot was obviously aiming at the bottom three routes. There are more than one smart person in the world...

When the whistle at the end of the first half sounded, the two sides tied a one-to-one draw. In fact, this is an acceptable result. Even if both sides tied in both games, they would have an advantage over the other two teams - after all, this is the Champions League group stage, not the knockout stage! There are two places to qualify...

If it were other circumstances, both sides might stop and play more securely in the second half. Cooper is a conservative coach and it is not unacceptable to score a point away. Barcelona is in a bad condition recently, and both sides are happy to score a point.

However, when both sides are not far from setting a winning streak, no one wants to stop the winning streak! Barcelona is in poor condition recently, so it needs to break a record to boost morale. Inter Milan is extremely strong this season, and she hopes to achieve more brilliant results and leave a more brilliant scene in the club's history!

So in the second half, both sides were destined to launch an attack more fiercely!

"I won't say much on defense, focus on and use regional defense to deal with them. This is what I ask for. The extent to which you can do depends on your performance on the court... And on offense, go to two more wings and take advantage of the height of Barcelona defenders, so that Bobo will become the most powerful weapon for attacking! Tiger, in addition to organizing the side segments, you should also pay attention to inserting more. I remember that your header is not bad. In Valencia, there are headers that have been scored in the goal. Their two central defenders are even worse than you. If you have the chance to surprise them." Cooper said in the locker room.

Tiger nodded, and in fact he considered this point - even the coach would not have a close-fitting feeling on the court like the player. For example, before reminding Vieri that the opponent's goalkeeper was of average height and jumping power, this was not something the head coach could easily discover - of course, this is also because Tiger was always able to observe the game with an outsider's mind on the court.

************************************************

After the second half began, the battle between the two sides in the midfield became more intense. Both sides knew that their advantage lies in offense, but they were weaker in defense. How to control the midfield and allow our side to get more offensive times will greatly affect the result of this game!

Barcelona is responsible for organizing it, young player Xavi, Inter Milan is responsible for organizing it, so it is naturally Tiger!

In the first half, both of them contributed to their team's offense. Inter Milan's goal was initiated by Tiger, and his reminder was also crucial. Barcelona's goal was directly assisted by Xavi. Although he was still very young, Xavi already had the strength to serve as the core of a giant midfielder.

Although in terms of ability and help to the team, Xavi is still far inferior to Tiger now, but he is not without his own advantages - in the back position, there is protection from Koku, and Ovimas and Mota on both wings to help him attack... And what about Tiger? Basically, he needs to carry the entire midfielder, Dibiagio and Zanetti behind him are full-time defense, Concesan is a typical winger, and Recoba is more cruising on the wing... In fact, it is a confrontation between Tiger and Xavi under unfavorable conditions!

The young Xavi may have been stimulated by Tiger's outstanding performance. After the start of the second half, his performance became more and more outstanding, with short passes, long passes, dispatches, and support... He is the person who catches the most balls in Barcelona, ​​but he is not sticky at all. He constantly organizes the attack through passing balls, and basically no passing mistakes have occurred!

With his organizational support, Barcelona's offense gradually began to become smoother - they did not lack offensive players, but only a leader. Although Xavi is not able to become a leader, he can become a good adhesive to glue these Barcelona players together!

Ten minutes after the second half started, Barcelona overtook the score!

Xavi made a quick pass from the middle, and Saviola got rid of two Inter Milan defenders and then shot. Tordo bravely saved it from the baseline. Then Xavi took a corner kick, and Debord, who had assisted, nodded and headed the ball. Cruyvit shot directly from the goal ten meters in the penalty area. Tordo made a brave save again, but the saved ball fell to the feet of veteran Koku, who directly pushed the ball into the empty goal!

Camp Nou is completely crazy! All Barcelona fans are cheering and celebrating their lead!

When they were behind in the first half, Inter Milan's advantage on the court once made them all desperate, but the team they supported did not disappoint them. They took the lead through unremitting efforts and offense, which made Inter Milan, which had a strong limelight since the beginning of the season, suffered a heavy blow!

However, for Inter Milan, they are not in a hurry. There are still thirty minutes left before the end of the game. More importantly, their frontcourt offense has proved their ability this season and proved that they will not be afraid of any solid defense line, not to mention that Barcelona's defense line is far from being solid!

Just ten minutes after Barcelona took the lead, Inter Milan quickly tied the score!

Barcelona's midfield is not a defensive midfielder. Although Motajavi and Koku have good defensive abilities, their midfielders are basically attack-oriented, which is why their offense has prevailed before. Tiger has never been a player that defensive players can defend!

After continuously delivering shells to the side, Tiger's style began to change, and he boldly dribbled the ball from the middle to launch an attack!

If Harvey wants to organize the offense, his position will definitely be higher, so most of the time, Koku is the only one who defends Tiger!

With a fake fax buckle, Tiger successfully got rid of Koku, and then began to quickly dribble the ball forward. Koku, who noticed the danger, took the risk to knock Tiger down from behind, but Tiger quickly avoided it. Then Tiger dribbled forward. After just entering the 30-meter area, after Vieri and Recoba opened the defense in the middle, Tiger decisively shot from the middle distance!

The ball flew into the penalty area like a shell. During the shooting, Tiger lifted his foot upward, which quickly reached the highest point, and then flew downward along an almost parallel trajectory!

Bonano's shot with a relatively high defense was indeed a weakness. Although he had tried his best to stretch his hands after taking off, the ball still flew over with his fingers, and then he plunged into the corner where the post and the crossbar were junction without looking back!

Theoretically blind spot! Shocking far-reaching shot!

The Camp Nou Stadium was silent! The entire stadium's eyes were focused on the man in front of the penalty area. As the audience was gaze, Tiger spread his arms and stood proudly!

You know, Tiger's battle to become famous was to overturn Barcelona with two goals and two assists away in the group stage of the 98-99 Champions League! This stadium is also Tiger's blessed place!

"The ball...the ball went in...two to two..." The on-site commentator at Camp Nou Stadium spitted out these words weakly. When he saw the hope of victory, he was tied again by such a shocking long shot. No matter how tough the fans are, they will feel desperate again!

However, they can despair, but Barcelona players cannot despair.

"We must win! We must set a record!" Almost in the roar, Barcelona players counterattacked, and Antić also made a substitution. Ovemas and Mota, who performed averagely during this period, were both substituted, and Luis Enrique and... Mendeta!

After a failed trip to Lazio, Mendeta was loaned to Barcelona, ​​but he also made no progress here.

Just now, when he watched Tiger perform freely on the court, Mendieta was in a complicated mood. More than a year ago, he was the most important player in Valencia like Tiger. However, more than a year later, Tiger had left him far away...

Mendieta came on the court, but Tiger did not go over and talk to him, because Tiger was already red in his eyes at this time.

Barcelona's performance in this game was undoubtedly excellent, and such an outstanding opponent also began to inspire Tiger's fighting spirit!

Judging from the final result, it has to be said that the two substitutions of Mendeta and Enrique were quite a failure!

Enrique was injured and missed for three months. This game was the first time he played after he recovered from injury. He performed poorly after appearing. Menditta has not played well in the past year. He also got good tactical arrangements in Barcelona. He is a genius, but he is a genius in a narrow sense. He needs to perform well in a suitable formation and tactics. This is the gap between him and Tiger.

After replacing Enrique and Mendeta, Barcelona's midfielder began to lose weight. Enrique was in poor form. Although Mendeta performed very hard and wanted to connect the midfield, it had little effect because of his lack of understanding with his teammates and inappropriate position. Inter Milan's offensive number began to gradually surpass Barcelona's offensive number.

When two teams whose offense is stronger than defense meet on the court, whoever can create more offensive opportunities will have a higher chance of winning!

Barcelona created more opportunities before, thanks to Xavi's excellent state and organization. However, under Tiger's oppression, Coku was no longer able to keep an eye on Tiger, Xavi had to return more defense. In addition to the lack of strength of the two wings, Barcelona's offense began to become quiet. On the contrary, Inter Milan's offensive frenzy!

In the 82nd minute, Inter Milan finally successfully captured the entire Camp Nou!

Concesan failed to break through the side, and then passed the ball to Tiger in the middle, then he turned sideways into the penalty area. His movement attracted part of the attention of Barcelona's defense line. Just when everyone thought that Tiger was going to cooperate with Concesan, Tiger shook his ankle and directly stuffed the ball to the left. Recoba inserted the ball at high speed and broke into the penalty area. Then, when the ball was about to go out of the baseline, Vieri attracted the attention of most of the defenders in the middle. Concesan, who was hit by the horse, welcomed the ball and pushed the ball directly into the empty goal!

Three to two, Inter Milan leads again, which is also the final score of this game!

When the final whistle sounded, the espn commentator couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "A new record that may appear has ended... Barcelona's winning streak in the Champions League was frozen in ten games, while Inter Milan increased its winning streak in the Champions League to ten games! In addition, the previous record holder AC Milan, three teams have already won the winning streak in the Champions League, all of which are ten games... In the next Champions League game, Barcelona will challenge Inter Milan away. Inter Milan has the opportunity to abandon these two tied opponents and have the record of winning streak in the Champions League alone? They can even make a streak in all European competitions! Ajax's winning streak in the Champions League is only eleven games..."
