Chapter 665 Defending the Italian Cup

The most disappointing team this season is Rome. Although before the season, everyone understood that there was no investment in the transfer market, but only the seller Roma must have no hope of the championship, but no one expected that the result did not even win a place in the UEFA Cup. As one of the best coaches in Serie A, Ka Perot can only look at Jiang Mu, Lippi, Ancelotti and other people fighting. There are thousands of feelings in his heart, and the only thing he doesn't have is joy.

If Capello and Prince Totti of Rome have any other sustenance, there is only the Coppa Italia. They reached the final against the giant Inter Milan, who has won the league championship and reached the final.

Although there is a gap in strength, everyone knows that Capello has always been good at defense. If there is another team that can hold back Inter Milan, then this team can only be Roma.

It can be said that Rome not only fights for itself, but also fights to break the hegemony of Inter Milan. If they win, Inter Milan will have no chance to win the Triple Crown again. If they lose, it can almost be said that the whole Serie A has lost. La Gazzetta dellowing that this is a match between Serie A and the Italian Super League.

In the face of his old enemy Inter Milan, Capello was in a good mood. Before the game, he said that Rome's state had returned to its peak.

"We have the essential qualities of modesty, and we have found confidence again. I believe that we will win the Coppa Italia, and Inter Milan will not be able to win the Triple Crown again. Tonight, I believe we will have a great performance and beat Inter Milan, although it is very difficult.

In the face of aggressive Roma, Inter Milan was more cautious before the game. Jiang Mu even banned the players from mentioning the Triple Crown, because Jiang Mu did not want more external factors to affect Inter Milan's players. Now the players have worked very hard. They need to rest, and their body and mind need to rest.

The first leg of the Coppa Italia final between Roma and Inter Milan was on the evening of May 21. Inter Milan and Rome opened at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. Because the impact of this game was not small, he not only attracted many well-dressed business stars, but also some club officials and coaches came. I went to the scene to watch the game.

The Roma team's appearance in this game is 352, and the lineup is like this: goalkeeper No. 1 Antonioli, defender:

15-Zebina, 19-Samuel, 6-Aldair, Midfielder: 2-Kafo, 17-Tomasi, 8-Asonsan, 5-Emosen, 32-Candela, Forward: 10-Totti, 24-Delvicio.

Inter Milan's formation in this game is 433, and the lineup is as follows: goalkeeper Toldo, four-backs: Simic, Cordoba, Cannavaro, Materazzi, three midfielders: Pirlo, Dibbiño, Ronaldinho, three strikers: Vieri, Robben, Adriano.

Both coaches are cautious about platooning, first of all, strengthening the control of the midfield. Capello formed a 3-5-2 formation, and Cassano did not even enter the list due to illness. Delvizio and Totti formed a front line, and Jiang Mu formed a 4-33 formation. In front of Vieri and Adriano, Ronaldinho responded behind them, Cannavaro and Materazzi formed a central defender partner, Pirlo and Di. Bianio builds a double back.

At the beginning of the game, the Roma team, who started the ball first, kept passing back and then passed back. Suddenly, Totti turned around and passed a high-altitude ball in his half-time.

Delvecchio, who had been actively inserting, jumped high to catch the ball. He headed the ball to his companion Candela, but at this time, the referee's whistle sounded. It turned out that the referee blew the foul when he grabbed the ball.

In the 3rd minute, Inter Milan's winger Robben broke through near the penalty area and passed the ball into the penalty area. Vieri jumped to the top but did not touch the ball. He quickly withdrew from the penalty area and took the ball again and passed it out. Roman midfielder Candela, who returned to defense, cleared the ball.

Robben is very active on the right side. Ronaldinho spends more time in the midfield. Inter Milan is very patient in controlling the ball. If there is a chance, they will launch a quick attack. If there is no chance, they will patiently control the ball and wait for the opportunity.

Inter Milan's attack is sharp and fast. The Roma team knows that it is powerful. After continuous losses, they are not willing to take any more risks. They do not take the whole game to grab, and let Inter Milan control the ball when it is far from their own penalty area. However, once the ball hits its own dangerous area, Roma immediately speed up the fight. The rhythm.

The Roma team played so patiently and did not rush to achieve success. It seems that losing to Inter Milan in recent seasons has indeed given Roma a lot of lessons. Now the players patiently play according to the tactical requirements of head coach Capello. If they have a chance, they can attack quickly. If they don't have a chance, they will strengthen their defense and don't give their opponents. Opportunity.

After five minutes of the game, Inter Milan felt the difficulties of the game. Under Capello's careful arrangement, Inter Milan's side attack could not find a chance, and there was no side pull. Ronaldinho's drap and Pirlo's long pass in the middle was not enough to threaten the gate of Roma.

At this time, Inter Milan wanted to break the deadlock. Only from the backcourt assist, Pirlo can assist in the middle. However, Pirlo's speed is not fast, and there is no way to come back when the assist is up. As soon as the opponent attacks fast, the defense will immediately face difficulties.

The players in the front court alone can't break the opponent's defense line, and the players in the back court can't trust it. Inter Milan is passive. Because they can't threaten the opponent's goal, the opponent has the opportunity to threaten Inter Milan's goal. In the football field, there is such a contradiction that you can't break through the opponent's goal. The opponent will break through your goal.

In the 8th minute of the game, Simic assisted, Pirlo's long pass from the backcourt, Seedorf ferry, Simic passed into the penalty area 45 degrees on the right side of the penalty area, Vieri headed the ball to the goal, but under Samuel's defense, there was no top strength, the ball was like a return to the goalkeeper, by Roma goalkeeper Antonio It's easy to get.

Roma goalkeeper Antonioli threw the ball and launched a quick counterattack. Defender Zebina cooperated with Cafu on the right side. The side wing Cafu inserted forward at high speed, getting rid of the defense of Robben and Cordoba. In the bottom line position, Delvicchio's far goalpost grabbed the header, but under the blockade of goalkeeper Toldo, the ball was pushed by him. It's on the Internet.

In the 10th minute of the game, Cafu once again hit the front of the penalty area. He dunked the fierce Cordoba and passed the ball to the penalty area to find Delcio. Delcio fell to the ground when he fought with Cordoba. Delcio complained to the referee with dissatisfaction, but the referee ignored it.

In the 12th minute, Roma made a long pass in the backcourt, Prince Totti of Rome stopped the ball on the chest, and Cafu inserted the right side to receive it, but it was blocked by Italian international Cannavaro, and the ball was relieved by Dibianio.

A minute later, Del Vício missed the excellent opportunity. Looking at the back, Totti, who was gradually active, passed the ball in the midfield. Cafu sent the ball into the penalty area again. Del Vio suddenly swam to the side and grabbed the side, and shot near the post before Cordoba. The goalkeeper Tordo stood better. He saved the ball with great thrillingly. Out of the bottom line.

Then Roma made a corner kick, and Totti grabbed the point in the middle. The ball hit Materazzi's shoulder and bounced on Delvicio's body and flew out of the bottom line.

The series of attacks of the Roma team made Inter Milan frightened. Jiang Mu frowned on the sidelines. He called Dibianio to the side and asked him to pay attention to the defense.

Defensive and offensive are different. Inter Milan strengthens the sidelines, and the defensive weakness of the midfield is completely exposed. Roma has set up five players in the midfield. Although Cafu and Candela's defensive tasks are not small, Totti, Delvicchio, Lima and Tomasi are by no means fuel-efficient lights. Under the continuous attack, even Vieri and Adriano may not be able to hold on when they come back.

Rome is gaining momentum and attacking fiercely. The situation of Inter Milan is very serious. If you are not careful, you may be broken by Rome.

Capello has been frowning on the sidelines. He has been paying attention to the development of the game and is satisfied with Rome's performance, but the delay in scoring goals makes him full of worries. Inter Milan has a strong ability to seize opportunities. In many important games, the opponent's opportunities are no less than Inter Milan, but The final result often ends with a big victory for Inter Milan.

Roma is now only a layer of window paper away from the goal, but Capello is just a player who dares to use his own guard line. Maybe the defender can act as the straw to crush the camel, but he may be caught by the opponent, and a counterattack will change all the passive situation. Capello is a conservative person. When the situation is favorable, he never wants to risk gambling with his opponent. Ensuring that his goal will not be broken by his opponent is Capello's first choice.

In the 25th minute of the game, Cafu, Tomasi and Totti played a continuous pass. Totti broke through the defense of Dibbiao and Pirlo and passed the ball to Eerson, who passed the ball to the unguarded Del Vicio. Delvizio received a pass and missed the goal with his left foot.

Then Rome launched an offensive again. Dibbiao put down Totti from behind and was also warned with a yellow card. Assonsan made a free kick and was blocked out of bounds by Toldo. Totti opened a corner on the left side. Simic headed the ball out. Asonsan shot 20 meters in front of the goal. Toldo grabbed the ball and ended the opponent's fierce wave. Fierce offensive.

Jiang Mu chose to attack instead of defense when the team was passive. The game has only been played for 30 minutes, and now he starts to defend. How can he win? Therefore, Jiang Mu did not change the original intention of the pre-match tactical arrangement, but still uses attack instead of defense.

In the 38th minute of the game, Robben, who contracted to the midfield, quickly grabbed Rome's middle pass and quickly dribbled the ball along the bottom of the side road. Under the close attention of the opponent, Robben hit the ball back to Adriano. Ade dribbled the ball horizontally and shook the two interceptors vigorously. Test shot, the ball hit the crossbar and popped up. Vieri followed up with the make-up shot, but the ball missed the post.

There was an exclamation in the stands, and tens of thousands of Roman fans exclaimed at the moment of Vieri's supplementary shot. It was an empty goal. If it was more accurate, the goal would have been scored.

......

Capello smelled the danger. He hurried to the court and shouted at the players.

In the 43rd minute, Dibiao's right foot shot caused Antonioli to get rid of his hand. Ronaldo and Vieri both came forward to grab a make-up shot, but Antonioli quickly got up and hugged the ball.

Although Inter Milan's attack is very fierce, Rome's defense is their greatest capital. It is difficult for Inter Milan to easily knock on Rome's defense. In the last few minutes of the first half, Inter Milan's offensive continued, but finally failed to break the door. The two sides had to go back to the locker room first and prepare to change sides. Let's fight again.
