Chapter 337: The Great Reversal, Tiger Manufacturing

In the home team locker room at Meacha Stadium.

The atmosphere in the locker room was a bit dull, and it was almost everyone who had not expected that two goals in the first half. Inter Milan has been very imposing since the beginning of this season. The victory in six consecutive leagues and Champions Leagues made all Inter Milan players think that even if this game is a bit troublesome, they will not encounter too many problems...

However, now, they are two goals behind! This puts their home unbeaten record in the Champions League to the most dangerous brink!

"In the first half, we made several mistakes. First, we pressed too much when attacking. When assisting on both wings, the midfielders did not pay attention to protection. Don't forget why I sent you three midfielders in this game - Cristiano. Don't forget that you need to fill up the position when you assist in front of Koko...Matias, you are the same."

Zanetti and Almeida nodded with shame at the same time. In the first half, especially after falling behind with one goal, they pressed up very well, which directly led to the two wings being continuously counterattacked by the opponent. Both of the lost balls were conceded after being broken through on the wing. In this regard, they were indeed to blame.

"We continue to attack in the second half. Javier and Francesco continue to step forward in the wing support, pay attention to filling in the back midfield, and give more balls to Tiger, Tiger. In this game, you have sufficient defensive power behind you, and you can move the position forward, or have a larger range of movement... They stare at you very hard, but I believe you can get rid of them." Cooper continued.

"No problem." Tiger said confidently. Although one of the two midfielders can run well and the other has rich experience, Tiger still believes that he can create many opportunities. In the first half, as Cooper said, mainly because he is not particularly familiar with his teammates. His range of activities is greatly limited. With a smaller range of activities, the location of the ball is reduced. Cooper obviously hopes that he can expand his control range in the second half, which is what Tiger needs.

"Everyone should know that Inter Milan has not lost at home in the Champions League game. If this record is broken on us, then we will become a joke! In the second half, we will show you more courage and fighting spirit to defeat this opponent and let everyone know that in the Champions League, at our home court, we will definitely not lose!"

"Kill them!" Inter Milan players shouted at the same time - just a Ligue 1 champion wants to break our record? What a joke!

Inter Milan players walked onto the stadium with murderous intent, but the commentators could not express optimism about their situation in the second half...

"In the second half, Inter Milan is in trouble. Lyon made up his mind to play defensive counterattacks. Three central defenders have two midfielders, plus two wing forwards who can retreat at any time to become full-backs. They have enough defenders. Anderson and Govu are both players with strong personal abilities, plus Juninho's organization... Now they are leading two goals. If Inter Milan pushes on the offense, they have to risk being quickly counterattacked by the opponent. If they don't attack, they will lose to others... in a dilemma."

"Lyon's tactics in this game are very targeted. The combination of three defenders makes it difficult for Inter Milan, which lacks Vieri, to create a threatening attack. Although Tigrecoba and Ronaldo have good long-range shooting abilities, they are easier to score in the penalty area... Cooper is a little conservative. In this case, Coradi should be more useful than Recoba and Ronaldo. There is a high point in the penalty area."

Cooper did not mean to replace Colady. Of course, he knew that it would be more effective to have a center in the penalty area, but he believed that the offensive players on the field now had the ability to tear open any defense line.

Amid the shouts of Inter Milan fans, Inter Milan began to launch a fierce counterattack.

After receiving Almeida's pass, Sanetti dribbled forward. The Inter Milan captain's dribbled ability has always been commendable. Although compared with his ball-handling ability, his passing awareness seems a bit mediocre, but it still has strong lethality.

Drop the ball away from a Lyon player who rushed over. Seeing that the number of defenders against Tiger had decreased a little, Sanetti immediately passed the ball with a cross.

Tiger was about to catch the ball, but Diyala, who started in advance, stretched out her foot and broke the ball in the middle!

"Return to defense!" Cooper shouted loudly off the court, and Lyon's counterattack broke out immediately - however, this time, Inter Milan had enough defenders in the backcourt, and Diyala, who was inserted in the end, shot from a small angle, was directly confiscated by Tordo.

Tordo threw the ball with his hand to Dibiagio. Dibiagio just took the ball and turned around, Juninho had already forced him to come up. Dibiagio was forced to control the ball sideways. Just when he was about to pass back, he heard a stiff Italian sound from the right: "Here!"

After looking up, Dibiagio discovered that Tiger had retreated to a very backward position. Before he could think about why Tiger retreated so far, Dibiagio immediately raised his foot and passed the ball.

He raised his foot and stopped the ball at his feet. Tiger looked up and looked forward, and then began to drive the ball forward!

Just two midfielders from the Ligue 1 champion want to keep a guard against me? What a joke!

That's right, you two cooperate well and have excellent abilities... But to complete the attack, it's not just about breaking through this path...

With a forcing momentum, he drove the ball forward, making the opponent's two midfielders waited extremely nervously to approach him, but when Tiger was about to approach the opponent, he raised his foot secretly and suddenly passed the ball forward!

This was a direct pass close to twenty meters, and it was directly passed to Recoba, who was a little behind the front of the penalty area!

After stopping the ball, Recoba forced his way into the penalty area and then took a left-footed shot. The opponent's goalkeeper Kupe flew out of the baseline and saved it with a corner kick.

Tiger ran up, and Recoba did not directly drive the corner kick into the penalty area, but passed it to Tiger who ran up, and played a tactical corner kick. After Tiger stopped the ball, he made a cross with his left foot. The ball hit Edmilson and bounced back to the back. Cordoba and Dibiagio jumped up and headed the ball at the same time, but interfered with each other and finally failed to reach the angle. The ball went out of the baseline.

"Continue to attack and just fight like this!" Cooper slapped his hands and shouted loudly. Without the center, it is also a good idea to penetrate the ground. The three players in the frontcourt were all players who could create threats with the ball under their feet. Cooper didn't believe that Lyon's defense could be kept clear!

Lyon launched a counterattack to try to keep Inter's offensive momentum. However, the three midfielders of Inter Milan were much more active than last season. Soon, Juninho's pass to Anderson was cut off by Cordoba around the front defense. Then Cordoba immediately passed the ball to Dibiagio, and Dibiagio passed it straight to Tiger in front. This time, Tiger ran to the right to catch the ball and successfully received Dibiagio's pass.

After stopping the ball at his feet, Tiger did not rush to attack, but waited until Sanetti came up before passing the ball to him. Then he ran along the sideline toward the baseline. Sanetti immediately passed the ball to Tiger. In the narrow space, Tiger stopped suddenly and turned around, then sprinted to the baseline again, and threw away two Lyon's defensive players in one breath!

After two consecutive days, Tiger did not go down the bottom, but instead penetrated into Lyon's penalty area diagonally, observing his teammates following him while sprinting...

When the defender of Lyon in the penalty area rushed over to make up for the position, Tiger did not continue to pass the ball, but raised his kick and directly sent the ball to the penalty area. He rushed towards Ronaldo, who was sprinting in the penalty area, and directly pushed the ball towards Tiger's pass!

The ball hit the blind spot of Lyon's goal, and Inter Milan scored a point ten minutes after the start of the second half!

Ronaldo rushed into the goal and directly grabbed the ball, then ran back with Tiger while high-fives. Tiger ran while waving his fists, shouting loudly in half-baked Italian: "There are still two balls left! Let's continue to attack and defeat them!"

"No problem!" Inter Milan players shouted in unison!

"This guy has never been a restrained guy!" Cooper slapped his head and smiled off the court. Tiger was like this when he was in Valencia. Captain Mendetta was a silent person. Most of the time, Tiger was the one who waved his fists to inspire the team's fighting spirit!

Having such an offensive core who can practice it inspires fighting spirit on the court is better than anything else!

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

After getting a point back, the advantage in the scene began to completely fall on Inter Milan's side.

After all, this is their home court! The unbeaten record in the Champions League at home is the pride of all Inter Milan players! They will not tolerate Lyon tearing their dignity on this field!

After Lyon's leading advantage shrank to one goal, they began to panic. The goal of Tiger's assist proved that Inter Milan is fully capable of tearing open Lyon's solid defense line. If the retreat defense is only used to attack with counterattack, it may not be able to defend it. If the attack is done, the pressure on the defense line will be greater...

Inter Milan's offense began to open. Recoba and Ronaldo began to withdraw from the penalty area to help Tiger's organization, and Tiger would frequently step forward into the penalty area to act as the front striker. Recoba himself is a player who is almost the second striker, and Tiger is even more so. Although Ronaldo is a standard striker, he is not without organizational ability. The three players in Inter Milan's frontcourt frequently switch positions and take turns to organize the offensive style, which began to have a "3r" offensive posture in the Brazilian national team's frontcourt in the World Cup...

Brazil's tactics in the World Cup are quite advanced, and almost no team can resist - although they lost to England, there was no Ronaldinho in that game. Even so, they scored two goals in England and even forced England into a desperate situation. Now the three players in Inter Milan's frontcourt may not have enough coordination in cooperation, but from their personal abilities and characteristics, they can fully replicate Brazil's offensive combination...

Faced with Inter Milan's back and forth attacks, and the cooperation between several people in the frontcourt, Lyon's defense line was a little overwhelmed.

The tactic they originally set was to stare at Tiger and cut off the connection between Tiger and his teammates. This tactic played a good role in the first half, but at this time, it completely shifted their defensive center of gravity.

They are still strengthening their focus on Tiger, but most of the time they are organizing it is not Tiger, but Recoba or Ronaldo who retreats to the midfield. When concentrating their troops to guard Tiger, their control of others will naturally be a little relaxed. Recoba and Ronaldo are more comfortable to organize!

The sixty-eighth minute.

After receiving the pass from Koco who assisted forward, Recoba made a two-pass-one cooperation with Ronaldo from the left outside the penalty area. Then, after receiving Ronaldo's pass, he broke into the penalty area and immediately shot with his left foot. The ball passed between Kakapa's legs and was blocked by the sensitive Kupei fell to the ground and had one hand blocked it. However, Tiger, who was inserted in the back row, intercepted the ball before the ball rolled out of the baseline, and immediately passed the ball with his right foot!

Facing the excellent landing ball from Tiger, Recoba rushed forward and before Cupe could stand up and Kakapa could not defend him, he jumped up and headed the ball into the empty goal with a header he was not good at!

Draw 2-2! Inter Milan equalized the score!

Recoba waved his arms and rushed to the sidelines. He was greeted by the crazy cheers of Inter Milan fans in the stands!

From falling behind two goals to equalizing the score, this process is undoubtedly extremely crazy!

"It's still early! Keep some strength to cheer later! When winning, it will make people feel even more crazy!" Amid the huge cheers, Tiger waved his arms and shouted loudly. Although his voice was drowned in the cheers, the Inter Milan players and Lyon players around him heard it. Looking at this extremely confident guy, the Inter Milan players couldn't help laughing, while the Lyon players could only feel despair and humiliation!

Diyala and Doraso made a decision almost at the same time, and they must keep an eye on this guy. However, after making up their teeth and making up their minds, they were a little confused. Staring at Tiger? Not to mention that they can't do it, even if they can stare at him, Inter Milan now has three people! Tiger can take them around and leave an empty front of the penalty area for Recoba and Ronaldo to bombard! Isn't this the ball just now? Tiger ran to the right and attracted both of them, and then was successfully shot by Recoba and Ronaldo at the front of the penalty area. Although Tiger was still the one who completed the assist in the end, even if Tiger failed to get in, Recoba might have directly scored the ball - this time it was Kupe who blocked Recoba's first shot, what about next time?

Regon made a substitution, and a defender replaced the forward Anderson who could no longer run, leaving only Gowu to cruising and restraining him in the frontcourt - although it was a very disheartening thing to be equalized after leading two goals, judging from the current momentum, it would be a good result to be able to save a point... However, such a substitution cannot save even a point!

Although the score is still a draw, the draw that equalized the score by two goals behind is definitely different from the 0-0 draw at the beginning - Inter Milan's morale has now been completely played. They thought Lyon's defense was a tough bone, but now they can tear open Lyon's defense as they please!

In the 72nd minute, Recoba was knocked down at the front of the penalty area. Under Tiger's cover, his free kick passed through the wall, but was saved by Kupe.

In the 75th minute, Matrazi made a long pass from the backcourt, Ronaldo made a forward shot and shot directly, but Cupe saved the ball from the baseline. Recoba took a corner kick. Cordoba beat the opponent's central defender Kakapa to head the ball. The ball hit the back post heavily, and Lyon escaped.

In the 79th minute, Recoba took the free kick again, but the free kick missed the baseline.

Cooper replaced Koko with young player Pasquale. The young full-back was better than Koko in offensive ability, and Koko was also a little unable to run at this time. Then Cooper replaced Almeda with Concesan and continued to strengthen the attack - at this time Cooper was not satisfied with more than one point!

Although the substitution strengthened the attack, Inter Milan's two midfielders defended Inter Milan's middle lane like iron clamps, which also allowed Inter Milan's frontcourt players to attack as much as they want.

In the 87th minute, the moment that made the fans in the audience burst into the biggest cheers, finally came!

Kong Sesan, who was on the bench, broke through on the side and then passed the ball to Tiger at the front of the penalty area. Tiger swung his right foot and when the two opponents defenders rushed over to block it, he directly knocked the ball back with his heels!

Sanetti, who was inserted in the back row, swung his right foot and shot from a long distance without stopping!

The ball hit the ground, rubbed the closest to the door post, and flew directly into the net!

"Konsesan broke through the side... Ah, he dunked the ball back and passed it to Tiger at the front of the penalty area! Tiger kicked off, is he going to shoot a long shot? No! He passed the ball back, and Inter Milan's captain Sanetti was inserted in the back row! Direct long shot - the ball entered! Beautiful long shot! With a slight arc, he flew directly into the dead corner against the close post! Although Kupe made a save move, he still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net! Three to two! Inter Milan took the lead! From zero to two to three to two, a beautiful big reversal! It is worth mentioning that these three goals were all assisted by Tiger, assisting hat tricks!"

Zanetti rushed to the bottom of the stands with his fists and turned to the right back. After Sanetti's goal number began to be infinitely close to zero. This time, the forward insertion was enough to score such a beautiful world wave, which made Sanetti excited, not to mention that it was a reverse goal!
Chapter completed!
