Chapter 562
A very beautiful goal, Valdy's scalpel-like straight pass assisted Figo to score the first-time goal.
Inter Milan fans in the stands screamed in excitement. This is the cooperation between two world footballers. Although one has entered the end of his career and the other is rising, they are so compatible.
Figo hugged Vardi excitedly and thanked Vardi for his assist. Vardi could obviously come directly, but chose to pass it to him, and he finally lived up to him.
Figo has entered the time to enjoy football, and being able to score a goal in the highly anticipated Milan derby is definitely the most perfect feast at the end of his career.
Although Vardy was celebrating with Figo, he was also reflecting whether he should also improve his ability to pass the threatening ball.
Although his straight pass just now looked very beautiful, he knew very well that he had passed the ball a little too much.
If the strength is right, Figo didn't need to have any extra moves just now, and could shoot directly, but because he passed a little bit, Figo could only choose to spike the ball and wipe the opponent's defensive player and then shoot.
Sometimes opportunities are fleeting, and a redundant move may lead to the end of the attack.
If Milan's defense line was more alert just now, or someone quickly made up for defense, which led to Figo's inability to shoot, wouldn't Inter Milan waste this excellent opportunity to score?
Therefore, improving the ability to pass threatening balls should also be put on the agenda.
After the celebration, the game started again, Inter Milan's morale expanded rapidly due to the goal, directly hitting Milan's halftime. The stormy attack made Milan breathless.
At this time, Kaka could only go back to participate in the defense because his "Big Strike" could no longer play a role.
Although Kaka's long-distance running was amazing, it was not as good as Vardy's explosive power. Under Cambiaso's close-up, it was not so easy for Kaka to get the ball away, and it was difficult for Milan to get the ball.
In the 19th minute of the first half, while Cambiaso was full-time guarding Kaka, Vieira rushed up and made a long shot, but this long shot ended up hitting the plane;
In the 22nd minute, Vardy threw a grenade ball outside the boundary, Ibrahimovic headed in the penalty area, and the ball was punched by Dida alone. Stankovic grabbed the second landing point and shot with a fierce shot, but the ball was blocked by Yankulovsky;
In the 24th minute, Inter Milan made a comeback. Vardy and Figo walked out of the wall and collided on the left to cooperate, breaking into the small penalty area from the ribs and shooting low at a low angle. However, what made Vardy hold his head straight was that the ball hit the crossbar again.
Seeing this scene, Inter Milan fans in the stands were exactly the same as Vardy, holding their heads and looking incredible.
In fact, fans have concluded that on the court, it is not the opponent's player, but the red card or the opponent's goal frame that can prevent Vardy from scoring.
Needless to mention red cards, Vardy has received more red and yellow cards than most professional players have received throughout their careers;
The number of hits on the door frame is even more exaggerated, and in one season it exceeds the sum of other people's entire careers.
If all these shots that hit the goal frame scored, then Vardy's goal count would definitely double.
I really don’t know where Vardy got involved in the door frame, so I have never seen a door frame with a good relationship with Vardy.
Others pray before the game are asking God for blessing, but Vardy doesn't need it. He just needs to pray that the door frame will not make trouble with him.
With several attacks back in vain, Milan successfully wiped out Inter Milan's high morale, and then slowly began to press forward in formation, and began to compete for the midfield with Inter Milan.
In high-end battles, everyone knows the importance of controlling the midfield, and the most powerful part of Milan is the midfield. How could they give up the control of the midfield?
Ancelotti changed his strategy, the midfielders strengthened their running sprints, and frequently mobilized Inter Milan's midfield defense. Although they might not have seen obvious results for a while, Ancelotti actually did not put his bets on the present.
Compared with Milan's midfielder, the average age of Inter Milan midfielders is not low. Cambiaso is not bad. In his year of playing, Stankovic is 30 years old and is considered to be strong in R&F. However, both Figo and Vieira are perfect veterans. It is difficult to stick to the whole game in daily games, not to mention the faster pace and more intense derby battle.
Now Ancelotti has to increase their consumption and then decide the outcome in the second half. I believe that by then, both old guys can no longer run.
Even if Mancini makes substitution adjustments, the substitute players are not as strong as the two former superstars. It is also a chance for Milan to make good use of them.
Inter Milan did not realize Ancelotti's plan, but simply meant that Milan fought so hard to equalize the score as soon as possible, so she just accelerated the pace to confront it.
In the rest of the first half, the two teams seemed to be ignited firecrackers, crackling and thunderous, making it so lively. In the last second, Inter Milan might be besieging Milan's penalty area, but the next second, Inzaghi might have completed a shot in front of Inter Milan's goal.
The pace is so fast that it's overwhelming, and even the cameraman is a little tired.
However, the defense of both sides was quite excellent, and no one scored another goal, and the score of 1:0 remained until the end of the first half.
However, at this time, Mancini had already noticed some clues.
There was no way. Figo and Vieira were already sniffling and gasping when they walked off the court. They were obviously seriously exhausted. Even after a brief rest and adjustment in the midfield, I am afraid they won't last long in the second half.
On the other hand, because their players are young and strong, they do not show any physical weakness.
Being fooled!
Mancini's heart slammed and cursed the old fox inwardly.
If he had noticed Ancelotti's plan earlier, he would have tried his best to delay the pace in the first half and play slowly.
But it's too late to say anything now.
After all, ginger is still so spicy!
Back in the locker room, Mancini asked concern Vieira and Figo.
"How long can you two last?"
Vieira and Figo are no longer passionate young men in the second grade. They know very well that they should tell the truth at this time, otherwise they will be irresponsible to the team.
They don't have the energy in the comics that they have obviously exhausted their physical energy but can still burst out at any time.
As expected, Vieira and Figo's answers were both 20 minutes. In other words, they had to replace the two in the 65-70 minutes of the second half. At that time, they should be unable to hold on to the game.
He should think carefully about who should be replaced to maintain an advantage over Milan!
Soon, Mancini had already had a draft.
Vardy is not too worried. Inter Milan's substitute lineup is also quite luxurious, and Mancini is not unavailable.
At the beginning of the second half, Milan continued its strategy in the first half, and continued to accelerate its defense against Inter Milan, hoping to defeat veterans such as Vieira earlier.
However, since Mancini has seen through Ancelotti's routine, it is naturally impossible to make Milan proud, so Inter Milan's rhythm has changed, just like an old man and an old lady walking their dog in the park, which is extremely comfortable.
However, hidden dangers are hidden dangers after all. There will always be times when they break out. Just after 70 minutes, Figo had already cramped, and Vieira also sat on the ground, looking weak all over.
A replacement must be made!
Mancini called back Balotelli and Maxwell who were warming up, and whispered around them for a long time, obviously being assigned a task for them.
Soon, the fourth official raised the substitution sign, and Balotelli and Maxwell came on the field, replacing Figo and Vieira who had already reached the limit.
When the two veterans left the court, the applause from Meacha stadium was thunderous, and the fans were thanking the two veterans for their efforts in this way.
At the same time, fans were also thinking how good it would be if they were five years younger. Inter Milan would probably retreat with such a god.
As for the two players who just played, their positions were soon clear.
Maxwell appeared in the left back position, while Sanetti moved from the left back to the midfielder to fill Vieira's position;
Vardy pulled to the left, and Balotelli stood in the front.
The formation has not changed, but the details have been greatly adjusted. The most eye-catching one is naturally Vardy who pulled to the left.
Vardy likes to act on the left side, so there is definitely no problem letting him play as the left forward. He can beat all opponents' fullbacks on the wing, and suddenly they can't find North. Even if there are multiple double-teams, it will be difficult to limit him.
Of course, staying away from the goal will significantly reduce Vardy's shots. The reason why Mancini sent Balotelli was naturally because he hoped that he could form multiple encirclements with Ibrahimovic and make good use of the opportunities created by Vardy.
Of course, if Balotelli can continue to be the magic of Super Mario, then Milan will be really sad.
Seeing Inter Milan's substitution adjustment and looking back at the two or three kittens sitting on the bench, Ancelotti was already extremely envious of Mancini.
After adjustment, Inter Milan's strength has not decreased significantly, because Inter Milan's bench bandits are actually not bad at all.
But when you look at your bench, there is no player who can stand out at all.
Sure enough, people die better than others!
The depressed thug waved his hand and attacked wildly. If you don’t attack, you will have no time!
In any case, Ancelotti's routine took effect. After difficult planning and implementation, it finally got a reward and Milan scored a goal.
In the 74th minute of the second half, Maxwell stepped forward and assisted but couldn't get back. Milan launched a quick counterattack, breaking through the defense line on this side from Inter Milan's left. In the end, Kaka shot and broke through the goal guarded by Cesar.
Ancelotti was filled with tears. After planning for so long, he finally scored a goal. It was not easy!
Chapter completed!
