Chapter 426 Advance to the top eight on

Herrera was lucky. Cruyff Jr.'s corner kick was really hit by him, but Herrera's header was obviously not his strength. At a close distance, he actually pushed the ball into the arms of goalkeeper Frey, and he rushed into the net himself.

Frey quickly threw the ball to the full-backer Sanetti and wanted to launch a quick counterattack. The opposing goalkeeper could not return to position for the time being. At this time, it was most appropriate to launch a counterattack.

Sanetti also understands that the fastest speed advances to the front court, and the opportunity to form a shot is the most important, because the referee will whistle at the end of the first half of the game at any time.

So Zanetti's long pass to Vieri, who was at the front court, wanted to create an opportunity for Vieri to shoot directly, but Sanetti's long pass was not on the same level as Pirlo's. His long pass was directly to the control of the opponent's defender and was relieved by Bigfoot.

The referee Barber saw that it was impossible for both sides to form a chance to shoot in a short time, so he blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

2:2's score is acceptable to both sides. Although Inter Milan played at home, they lost one player and led by one goal in the first round, so the fans still applauded the players back to the locker room.

Intermission is the best opportunity for Jiang Mu to get in touch with the players. He came to the locker room from the stands accompanied by supervisors.

Standing at the door of the locker room, Jiang Mu smiled and said to the UEFA regulator, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"

The supervisors shook their heads, turned to the mixed channel and stood, waiting for Jiang Mu to come out.

Entering the locker room, Jiang Mu's expression became grim. He first thanked the players and then made self-criticism.

"Thank you. Your performance is excellent. You are worthy of the applause from the fans. The 2:2 score makes us firmly take the initiative. I want to apologize to you. Today, Blanco and I are too impulsive. As the head coach and veteran player, the two of us have brought trouble to the team. If let You have taken on the great responsibility of losing outnumbered people.

Jiang Mu's apology won warm applause from the players. It has been almost two months since everyone contacted Jiang Mu. They all know what kind of person Jiang Mu is. Jiang Mu doesn't like to show off. He practices are natural and even a little unobstructed. It makes the players like to be with Jiang Mu very much. They can feel Jiang Mu's apology at this moment is sincere.

After apologizing, Jiang Mu shifted the topic to the game. Jiang Mu praised the players' self-regulation ability on the court, and pointed out their shortcomings in detail handling and their conservatism in the face of opportunities.

Jiang Mu said that the current score still can't make the opponent give up. If you want to win the opponent easily, you must score again, and you have to score early. In the knockout match, the more you drag on to the final battle, the greater the risk, the more variables there are, and the risk is not allowed to be brought to the front.

This is Jiang Mu's consistent style, that is, not to give the opponent the last hope, kill the opponent in advance, so that the game will not be unexpected when leading, reduce variables, and increase variables and chance when lag behind, so Jiang Mu's team can maintain the record of Europe's winning streak and no loss.

The visiting team Alaves has also adjusted its halftime. They replaced the only defensive midfielder and attacked forward Pablo to improve their ball control and breakthrough ability in the front court, aiming to break Inter Milan's heavy defense at the front of the penalty area.

After the start of the second half of the game, Alaves continued to maintain the fast-paced confrontation in the final stage of the first half, hoping to defeat Inter Milan in physical fitness and overwhelm Inter Milan in fighting spirit.

However, Inter Milan did not show weakness. Although they did not let go of the attack with Alaves, they boldly invested almost all their troops in the counterattack to decide the final result of the game in the first 15 minutes.

In the fifth minute of the second half of the game, Alaves wanted to attract Inter Milan's defenders by long-range shots without finding a breakthrough in the penalty area of Inter Milan.

But Cruyff Jr.'s shot was blocked in front of Dibbiao with his body by Simic. Dibbiao opened the ball with his big foot and flew to Alaves' half.

Although Vieri and Robi Kean knew that it was difficult to get the ball before the goalkeeper, they still ran forward very actively to chase the ball.

The game attitude of Vieri and Robi Kean has won enthusiastic applause from fans. In the eyes of the fans, it is really valuable for big stars to be able to do this. Diligence and hard work cannot guarantee victory, but success must be hard work and hard.

However, in the eyes of senior football players, the attitude of Vieri and Robi Kean is not purely diligence and hard work, but shows that Inter Milan's team spirit has reached a new level, because if Vieri and Robi Kean don't grab the ball this time, the next time their teammates may not pass such a back ball to them. They have fewer opportunities to attack. It is unrealistic for Pirlo to transport shells alone. The opponents now know how to block Pirlo.

The diligence of Vieri and Roby Kean has won an opportunity for themselves.

The ball was pushed by Carmona to Alaves goalkeeper Herrera, and Herrera passed it to the Romanian defender Contra, who pulled to the side. Contra directly kicked the ball to the penalty area of Inter Milan, trying to continue to launch a fast attack when his player did not come back and the opponent pressed it out.

But Contra's pass was intercepted by Materazzi again in the midfield. Materazzi's height of 1.93 meters was like a huge screen, firmly controlling the sky above the Inter Milan penalty area, leaving Alaves players without any air support.

Materazzi headed the ball to the side again to find the captain Sanetti without interference. Sanetti did not blindly open his feet this time. He passed the ball to his midfield teammate Farinos.

Farinos is one of the four ace midfielders of La Liga team Valencia. With Cooper's fame in Europe, Farinos came to Inter Milan with a value of 18 million US dollars this season.

Among the many big names of Inter Milan, Farinos' talent is definitely not outstanding. The status is also not prominent. Neither Lippi nor Tardelli used him again. After Jiang Mu came to power, he always used the original formation and playing style for stability at the beginning, so Farinos did not get many opportunities to play, but Farinos did not give up. He was diligent and serious on the training ground. He desperately proved that he was worthy of Inter Milan. If he had a little time to play, he would run all over the field, trying to grasp every minute and every second of the game.

This is a rare quality for Spanish players. Farinos' diligence also moved Jiang Mu. In games that need to be conservative, Jiang Mu often arranges Farinos and Dibbiño to start together to increase the defensive ability of Inter Milan midfield.

Farinos's passing skills can't be compared with Pirlo, and he is not as demonic as Sedorf, but after all, he is a midfielder and comes from La Liga. Defenders like Pisaneti are many times stronger. After receiving the ball, he immediately passed the ball behind Alaves's defender.

At this time, Vieri and Robi Kean, who had just returned from the position, were overjoyed. They immediately turned back and inserted into Alaves' half like two arrows.

The faster Robi Keane grabbed the ball first, but when he stopped the ball, Contra and Camona also returned to the defense.

Roby Kean took advantage of his opponent's unstable foothold, he very shrewdly passed the ball to Vieri and ran forward quickly.

Vieri is also an old man. I don't know how much he has played with 2 out of 2 cooperation. He directly lifted the back of his foot, and the ball flew behind the two defenders of Alaves.

The defensive ability of Contra and Camona is not bad, but the defenders have a natural disadvantage against the striker, that is, they can only attack back and must make corresponding actions according to the opponent's actions. When the opponent's cooperation is too tacit, they can't react.

Before Contra and Carmona turned around, Robi Kean rushed past them, forming a situation of going to the meeting alone.

Herrera, who was standing in the penalty area to observe the situation, saw that Roby Kean had formed a breakthrough and immediately continued to retreat to prevent Roby Kean from hanging the door.

Robi Kean's speed was faster than Vieri's. He didn't have to worry about the opponent's defender catching up, so he was not in a hurry to shoot, but entered the penalty area with the ball at high speed.

Seeing that Robi Kean did not shoot directly, Herrera could only retreat to goal and hit the ball under Robi Kean's foot.

There is a lot of space on his side. He turned the ball to the left, passed Herrera, and then shot at a small angle before Carmona returned to the defensive position.

3:2

Rosby Keane helped Inter Milan complete the reversal.

There was a tsunami-like cheering in the stands again. The fans saw the victory in sight and played the banner of "entering the quarterfinals and winning the UEFA Cup again".

"GOALGOALGOAL... Roby Kean scored! Inter Milan led by a total score of 7:5. Although one player is missing, Inter Milan is fully capable of grasping the fruits of victory with a two-ball lead... Jiang Mu can rest assured to watch the game, and now Alaves may have nothing to do..."

Jiang Mu in the stands was not as easy as Skapini thought. At this time, he still passed a small note to Baresi, so that he continued to stick to his current style of play and strive to score another goal to completely defeat Alaves.

Mane, the head coach of Alaves, is pale. Every time he changes a person, Inter Milan returns with a goal, which makes him extremely embarrassed. This means that every substitution is caught by his opponent. In the on-the-spot command, he lost to Jiang Mu, who was sent off the stage, which made the coach Mane angry.

Scapini was furious. He raised his hand to let all the players fight to the death with Inter Milan.

Scarpini is not losing his mind. As long as he scores two more goals and scores 4:3 away, he will be able to equalize. There is a chance to play overtime. That is to say, whether Roby Kean doesn't score this goal or not, they have to score two goals. Now it is the best choice to score a goal with the opponent, no matter the opponent. No matter how many goals they score, as long as they can catch the gap of a goal, they can advance.
