Chapter 355 Entering the finals!
Chapter 355: Entering the finals!
The entire Meazza Stadium was filled with cheers from Inter Milan fans, and AC Milan fans were booing against Inter Milan fans without any weakness. Although Inter Milan has the lead now, AC Milan's situation is not very bad. After all, it is just a goal behind. As long as they can equalize the score next, the advantage will come to their side in an instant!
After Ronaldo's goal, the balance of the entire game has been completely broken. It is no longer possible to have any overtime situations. The victory or defeat of the entire game will appear in the 90 minutes of the second round - Inter Milan wins, Inter Milan qualifies, draws or AC Milan wins, AC Milan qualifies!
AC Milan fans are very clear about this, and AC Milan players are equally clear!
So after the game started again, AC Milan immediately launched a fierce counterattack, intending to equalize the score as soon as possible, which would have a huge impact on Inter Milan's fighting spirit!
And the Inter Milan players who became excited because of the wonderful goal began to block the game in the midfield with high fighting spirit!
The beating flames and blue sea water suddenly collided in the center of the court, colliding with brilliant sparks!
Seidorf made a straight pass, and Inzaghi, who broke into the penalty area, turned around and shot, but was blocked by Matrazi with his legs out of the baseline!
Recoba made a cross from the wing, and Ronaldo's direct volley was slightly off the far post!
Maldini made a long pass from the backcourt, and Shepchenko received the ball and pushed the shot from the penalty area and flew out of the baseline!
Emre made a cross after breaking through from the left, and Maldini flew to clear the ball in front of Recoba!
In the next twenty minutes, both sides launched a fearless back and forth attack. However, in terms of defense, both sides also put in great strength. In addition to the front trident, Inter Milan's offense continued to attack forward, but the lack of a strong center in the penalty area was not very effective. AC Milan also faced such a situation. The two midfielders protected Inter Milan's front-line front-line, while in the impact in the penalty area, Matrazi and Cordoba's front-line defense abilities were both strong!
Although both sides created many opportunities, they did not get decisive opportunities. In the following game, the offensive momentum of both sides began to slow down and the game entered a stalemate...
This is very common, and it is almost impossible for any team to maintain a high-speed impact of ninety minutes - of course, the South Korean team in the 2002 World Cup may be an exception - after the appropriate impact, seeing the opponent's defense cannot break through, the appropriate slowdown may lead to unexpected gains.
As the first half was about to reach the finish line, Inter Milan's defense was slightly relaxed - this was also their *** ill. In addition to captain Zanetti, Matrazi and Cordoba are both brave and stable, and Pasquale is still relatively young...
In stoppage time, Seidorf got the ball in the midfield and Zanetti forced it up. However, Seidorf did not entangle with him, but looked careless and suddenly passed it straight...
This was an extremely penetrating pass. Shepchenko, who was inserted diagonally into the penalty area, received a pass from Seedorf!
Cordoba blocked Shepchenko's pace, but the nuclear warhead got rid of him with a beautiful person. After piercing the ball through Cordoba, Shepchenko chased the ball with two big steps, and then resolutely pushed the ball from a small angle. The ball bypassed Tordo's hand and flew into the blind spot of the goal!
The entire Meacha Stadium suddenly became extremely quiet, and then there was a huge cheer in the stands occupied by AC Milan fans!
"Damn!" Cooper waved his hand violently.
"Fuck!" Vieri, wearing casual clothes in the stands, spitting out the chewing gum and cursed angrily.
Tiger stared at the AC Milan players who were celebrating with embrace, and his face became gloomy.
One to one draw! Shepchenko's goal made the victory balance tilt towards AC Milan again - if the score remains until the end of the game, then Inter Milan will be eliminated because of few away goals! They only have one way to go in the second half, that is, to score more goals than the opponent!
After the celebration ended in AC Milan, the whistle at the end of the first half immediately rang out!
Inter Milan players ran back to the locker room with a calm face, while AC Milan players seemed to be more excited. Before entering the locker room, Gattuso even waved his hands hard towards the stands, making AC Milan fans cheer more!
Tiger, who walked into the player channel, looked back at him with a expressionless face.
************************************************
"In the second half, there is only one way, and that is attack!"
After entering the locker room, Cooper did not say anything nonsense, but punched the tactical board directly: "Middle, side road... No matter what method is used, they must tear their defense line open! Aren't they overall excellent? After getting the ball, try to break into the penalty area! At that point of Pirlo! He is not a full-time defensive player after all... Tiger, Alvaro, Ronnie, boldly breaking through after receiving the ball, and others try to concentrate the ball at any of their feet and use breakthroughs to tear their defense line! As for the specific situation after the breakthrough, you can do it yourself. I believe that no matter how meticulous the arrangement is, you will not be more direct in the game! The full-backs should also participate in the offense more, pull out their defensive formation, and stop their counterattacks in the defense. In short, we have to score more goals than them. This is our way to win, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Inter Milan's players shouted in unison!
At this time, they also knew that they had no way out and had won the league championship. They would need to play every Champions League match as the finals so that they would not leave any regrets!
As for the Italian Cup game... that's something in the future!
Cooper did not send Corradi, who has a high altitude advantage, because AC Milan is not afraid of high altitude bombing - the four players on the defense are all over 1.8 meters tall, and the two central defenders Nesta and Maldini are even 1.87 meters tall. They are also experienced and have accurate positioning... Faced with such a defense line, high altitude bombing is just to increase the data of clearance for the opponent. If it were Vieri, they might be able to score under the attack of these two top central defenders. Corradi is still a little short of it!
"Do you punish me?" Tiger turned around and asked Recoba.
Recoba looked at the goal and said, "I've scored a free kick from this distance."
Tiger laughed: "I have also scored a free kick at this distance...but the success rate is not high."
"It's really low." Recoba nodded.
"Then, we can seem like this..." Tiger thought for a while, then whispered to Recoba. Recoba pondered for a while, then nodded slowly.
Because the distance is relatively long, AC Milan only lined up three people's walls. If you want to shoot directly, you will definitely have a chance. While commanding the walls and the defensive players in the penalty area, Abiati focused on Recoba and Tiger.
The referee blew a whistle that could take the penalty, and Tiger, who was standing on the left side of the ball, began to run up. After he ran out, Recoba slowly started running up!
After running close to the ball, Tiger swung his right foot, but quickly put it down, and then ran over from the side of the ball. After he ran away, Recoba rushed up and swung his left foot!
When Abiati was focusing on Recoba, Recoba touched the ball, but did not shoot directly, but pushed the ball diagonally to the front right with his left foot!
The ball rolled quickly on the lawn and flew directly to Tiger!
During this period, Tiger had rushed to a place only twenty meters away from the goal. Before all the AC Milan players could react in time, Tiger swung his right foot again and drew the ball hard!
The ball tore the air in the air, like a angry dragon with teeth and claws flying directly to the upper right corner of the goal!
Gattuso, who rushed over from the side, was one step slower to tackle!
Maldini in the penalty area wanted to block the shot with his body, and was also one step slower!
Abiati jumped up, still one step slower!
In front of all AC Milan players who could block the goal, the ball plunged into the net and spun around the player for a long time before falling down reluctantly!
The huge roars from Inter Milan fans were sent out in the stands again!
Tiger on the field made a sudden move of punching downwards, then spread his arms and roared to the sky!
Two to one! Inter Milan took the lead again! In the 73rd minute of the game, Tiger scored another goal with a shocking long shot!
"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Beautiful goal! Two-to-one! Double footballer Tiger helped Inter Milan lead again with a long shot! The goals of two footballers scored two goals for Inter Milan, and Inter Milan led again, and their offensive ability was fully demonstrated! AC Milan's solid defense line allowed Inter Milan to get no chance in the penalty area, but this long shot outside the penalty area gave the whole picture.
Some defenders cannot form a barrier! Tiger is unstoppable! There are seventeen minutes left. As long as Inter Milan maintains the current score on the field, they can enter the finals of the Champions League again after 1972! The last time they entered the finals of the Champions League, they lost to Ajax. In the whole thirty years after that, Inter Milan has not been able to enter the finals of the Champions League again. Now, they have only seventeen minutes left until they enter the finals of the Champions League for the first time in thirty years!"
Inter Milan players surrounding Tiger collectively yelled. At this moment, they no longer thought that anyone could stop them from moving forward!
However, AC Milan will not give up!
Ancelotti changed two in a row!
Rivaldo replaced full-back Costakuta, super substitute Danish forward Thomasson who established a brilliant achievement in the semi-finals replaced Seedorf in the midfield, and AC Milan replaced it with a strong attack formation of 32223 and launched a fierce attack!
Although Ancelotti sometimes seems conservative, at this time, he can only choose to attack fiercely!
If the score is equalized in the next game, then AC Milan will be able to qualify. If it cannot equalize, AC Milan will only have one honor left in the Italian Cup to compete for!
Cooper also made a substitution, but he did not replace the defender to strengthen the defense. Instead, he replaced the young player Martins with his physical strength to reduce Recoba and strengthened the speed of the counterattack!
Perhaps in the positional battle, Martins could not break through the defense of Martini and Nesta to create opportunities, but when AC Milan pressed on the offense, Martins' superman speed could create quite good opportunities!
Even Cooper did not expect this substitution to be able to establish the victory for Inter Milan so quickly...
The game ended in the 84th minute.
Matrazi, who got the ball in the backcourt, directly passed the ball to Tiger in the midfield. Tiger began to move forward with a momentum. When the AC Milan players were collectively nervous and planned to strangle Tiger, Tiger directly sent a pass!
Martins and Maldini, who were in the front, jumped up and competed for the top. Perhaps because of the excessive physical energy consumption, Maldini was unable to jump up completely. The ball hit Martins' back and bounced into the penalty area. Martins, who was extremely fast, quickly turned around and got rid of Maldini. After strode to catch up with the ball, he immediately pushed the ball with his right foot and shot the far corner!
Abiatti's save was a step slower, and the ball quickly rushed into the goal, 3-1, Inter Milan established the victory!
After scoring the goal, Martins excitedly flipped six backflips in a row to celebrate the goal. This young player only entered Inter Milan's first team this season. Because the team gathered on the front line, he didn't get many opportunities. However, he was able to score in such an important game, which was enough to make him famous immediately!
Seeing the advantage of gaining a two-goal lead, Cooper immediately replaced two people in a row!
Adani replaced Ronaldo on the field, increasing the number of defenders in the middle, while Cordoba's position moved left to make up for the defensive defects. Almeida replaced Emre on the field, Inter Milan set up a 53-1-1 iron barrel defensive formation, leaving only Martins and Tiger in the frontcourt waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
These two substitutions completely killed AC Milan's hope of turning the tables. Although AC Milan did not interrupt the offensive pace in the next game, it could not pose too much threat to Inter Milan's defense. On the contrary, before the end of the game, Martins almost scored another goal, and his single shot was saved by Abiatti, but it could not prevent Inter Milan from advancing to the finals!
