Chapter 593 Fight for Dignity Next
After a 1-0 lead, Inter Milan did not slow down the pace of attack. They still stared at Leverkusen's left side and attacked fiercely, and they were really not as good as the rest.
Leverkusen was beaten painfully. Their overall strength can definitely be called first-class. Head coach Top Mueller is not an incompetent person, but Inter Milan's tactics make their advantages in other positions unable to play out, and they can only constantly make up for the defensive shortcomings on the left side, and the game is extremely cowardly.
This is not a humiliation caused by a huge difference in strength, but a grievance that is powerful. They were ignored and despised by the media before the game and despised by the fans of Inter Milan. They tried to prove their existence in Meacha, but 20 minutes later, they found that it was so difficult to prove their existence. Difficult, the opponent is indeed more powerful than they think.
Top Mueller admitted it. He knew that it was difficult to play dignity in Meacha. If he continued to fight like this, maybe what was waiting for them was a massacre without dignity. In order to leave with dignity, maybe they could only temporarily put down their dignity and honestly stay behind to make up for the shortcomings of the left. However, Then look for an opportunity to break the door.
Topu Mueller thought of doing it, and he came to the sidelines and gave his player an order to shrink the defense.
The German's ability to execute tactics will always make the rest of the world feel embarrassed. Although it is a little puzzling to shrink the defense when they are backward, the players of Leverkusen have no objection and all retreat unconditionally and continue the game according to the head coach's arrangement.
Inter Milan's live commentator couldn't help sighing: "It's really happy to be the head coach in Germany. The player's execution ability is absolutely first-class. At this time, it is ugly to shrink the defensive face, but it is the best way to stop Inter from attacking. Leverkusen has extremely fast Neuville and experience. Rich Kirsten has more opportunities to fight back against them.
Leverkusen's contraction really made up for the short board on the left side, and the midfielder's defense made up for the gap in individual ability on the sidelines. Leverkusen stabilized the situation and began to use long passes to play behind Inter Milan.
Although Inter Milan is facing a difficult situation, they are not in a hurry to score a goal, because Cannavaro and Materazzi's turning and chasing speed are not fast. Inter Milan boldly adopted anti-offside tactics, making Leverkusen's several counterattacks fall into the offside trap.
The first half of the game passed quickly. Leverkusen didn't get any good shot in the away game. The score was behind, and the scene was also very passive. After the referee Tiger blew the whistle at the end of the first half, they all lowered their heads from the court into the locker room.
After the half-time break, neither side was replaced, but Leverkusen was obviously more motivated and more fighting spirited. Although they contracted their defense, as long as they had a chance to counterattack, they would definitely overwhelm the army and resolutely beat Inter Milan.
However, luck is still on this side of Inter Milan. In the second half of the game, it has just been played for five minutes. Inter Milan turned the ball back and forth at the front of the penalty area of Leverkusen, and did not find a chance to penetrate. The midfielder's Recoba suddenly accelerated the horizontal belt, and then pulled his foot and shot about 27 or 18 meters away from the goal. The ball hit After changing the direction of defender Ramello and flying into the net, Leverkusen's goalkeeper Bute saved in the wrong direction and had no way to score such a goal.
After the 2:0 lead, the Inter Milan players seemed to be a little more vigilant, the passing was a little careless, and the personal performance increased significantly, which brought a lot of pressure to the back line.
Jiang Mu frowned on the sidelines. There was no sign of underesthee the enemy in the first half. As soon as he scored a goal in the second half, the players slacked. If it goes on like this, the opponent will definitely have a chance to score. Jiang Mu looked at the time. In the 65th minute, he decided to close the net in advance and try to control the rhythm of the game and not let the opponent see it. A little hope of equalization.
Jiang Mu asked Farinos to warm up and prepare to replace Vieri and strengthen the defense of the midfield, but at this time, Leverkusen suddenly launched a fierce counterattack.
This is Leverkusen's central defender Novotoni who cut off Ronaldo's tape at the front of the penalty area. The ball fell in front of Basturk. Basturk quickly inserted a very penetrating and lethal score near the middle circle, which made the erratic Neuville swim to Inter Milan's left wing. The chance to get the ball.
It was Cordoba who blocked it the first time.
After more than 60 minutes of the game, the 2:0 lead made the Inter Milan players full of confidence in the face of Leverkusen's players, and Cordoba almost rushed to shovel the ball under Neuville's feet almost without thinking.
Cordoba grabbed a lot of time, and the timing was also good, but Neuville was obviously more prepared. After more than 60 minutes of polishing, Neuville, who had experience in the hands of Inter Milan's players, played the ball and dodged Cordoba's tackle, and then Neuville used a very simple fake. The fake action of plucking the ball to the bottom and then suddenly cut the middle horizontally, shaking the center of gravity of the midfielder Di Bianio who followed him.
Next, Inter Milan's left defense was empty. Before Cannavaro came to grab it, Neuville went down at high speed and returned to the front of the penalty area. Leverkusen's right-back Schneider suddenly pulled out his foot and shot in the 45 corners outside the penalty area, and the ball drew a beautiful arc! Fly straight to the far corner of the goal.
With an amazing spinning speed, the ball flew to the goal in the screams of Inter Milan fans and the panic of Inter Milan fans!
The goalkeeper Tordo struggled to provoke, but his desperately open fingertips could not touch the ball.
"Wow, Schneider's shot, dangerous!!" Scarpini couldn't help roaring.
"The ball scored... God, I hit the goal beam... There is still a chance!! Ah! Enter, enter, enter... Kirsten! Veteran Kirsten grabbed a make-up shot! The goal is scored, 1:2............"
After the veteran Kirsten hit the ball, he jumped up excitedly and punched at the stands, but then he was pressed on the turf by his teammates. Leverkusen's players were extremely excited. Except for Bout, they all ran over and folded Kirsten on the ground.
Head coach Top Mueller jumped up and hit a few consecutive hooks on the court. The sulking he has received in the past two days since he came to Milan was all vented at this time. They did not dare to expect to beat Inter Milan away, but the losers also have dreams, not to mention Leverkusen, a middle class, now they are not Dare to say that they can overtake the score, but this goal has greatly increased their confidence. At least they can leave Meacha with their heads held high.
Jiang Mu's face is gloomy. The preparation for substitution just now has to be changed. Now the score gap between the two sides is only one ball, and the opponent's morale is booming. Isn't changing to a defensive player fuel the opponent's offensive arrogance? At home, in the face of a strong and famous It's not as good as your own team. It's a sign of weakness to send a defensive player in such a situation. Even if you win, the fans will definitely be unhappy. If it is an opponent of the same level, Jiang Mu will certainly not pay attention to the feelings of the fans, but in the face of an opponent who is not as good as himself, Jiang Mu certainly hopes that it will be perfect from the process to the result.
Falinos returned to the bench again. Robben was replaced, Concesan was replaced, and Inter Milan continued to strengthen their breakthroughs on the side or play Placent.
The Leverkusen people tasted the sweetness of defensive counterattack. They continued to shrink their defense, tightened the fence in front of their goal, grasped the loopholes in the Inter Milan defense line, and tried to take a point from the Meazza Stadium.
Inter Milan then fell into a bitter battle. Breaking through the intensive defense is a problem for any team. This has become the truth of the football world. Moreover, the German team has excellent tactical discipline and good physical fitness. It is really not easy to break through their defense, but Inter Milan never want to leave hidden dangers to the most. After that, who knows if the opponent will go through the shit, just like Inter Milan's second goal.
Leverkusen is also not easy. Inter Milan has a strong center like Vieri in their penalty area, as well as a breakthrough master like Ronaldo. On the periphery of the penalty area, there is also Dibiao, who has strong long-range shooting ability, and the Matla in the back row also has a strong ability to bomb at high altitude. The most important is Inter Milan. The road can also pass the ball. It can be said that every second after they scored a goal, Leverkusen's penalty area is in a bloody wind. Any negligence may be broken by Inter Milan. At this time, they are fully immersed in the game. Everything in the outside world, even the head coach shouted on the sidelines.
This is the test of the willpower and luck of the players on both sides. Whoever can stick to the end, who can not make mistakes, can laugh to the end.
In the 80th minute of the game, Leverkusen finally got a good opportunity to break the goal. After replacing Kirsten's Berbatov got Barak's pass, he shook the card's Cannavaro and went straight into the penalty area of Inter Milan. Tordo's attack was also shaken by Berbatov, but in the face of the empty goal Berbatto. The husband actually hit the ball on the goalpost, which made the whole audience in an uproar.
After Inter Milan escaped from death, it continued to launch a brave and fierce attack, and Inter Milan's unremitting efforts paid off in the 85th minute.
Robben used his speed on the sidelines to break through the defense of two Leverkusen's two players. In the bottom line pass, the ball accurately found Vieri. After countless efforts, the Inter Milan center finally defeated Novottini in front of him. He scored a powerful header and broke through Bout. Gate, rewrite the score to 3:1.
The ecstatic Vieri rushed to the corner flag area and pulled out the flag and waved it, as if he had occupied the enemy's position.
All the pressure of the Inter Milan fans who had been nervous for 20 minutes at the scene were released. They expressed their joy and gratitude to Vieri with rainstorm-like applause.
Vieri's goal shattered the Leverkusens' dream of scoring, but the Leverkusen's goal today is to fight for dignity. They did not give in. Top Mueller also changed to Brydarić and Inter Milan at the last minute, but the game still depends on strength to speak in the last 7 minutes of the attack. In the war, Inter Milan scored another goal, and finally defeated the German team 4:1, ushering in a good start in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
