As Valencia's most dangerous attacking man, Mancini naturally has to work extra hard when asking his players to defend him, with experienced captain Zanetti playing at the back to be responsible for the closeness and harassment of Ello, while the Brazilian McConn, who is very physical and fast, is responsible for waiting for the opportunity to break the ball next to him.

This defensive mode makes Iroh very uncomfortable, and he feels like he can't use his strength.

In fact, it is no wonder that Inter Milan is so attentive to his defense, who makes him Valencia's number one star?

And he won last year's World Footballer of the Year, becoming the second youngest World Footballer in history, many of the players present did not have this honor, so they were naturally even more unhappy with him, anyway, they are all veteran players who have been galloping football for so many years, why can you easily win the World Footballer at a young age?

Am I worse than you? So in this game, Inter Milan's midfield defenders worked extra hard to defend Elo, as if to prove something.

So every time he gets the ball, he's always surrounded by a lot of things, and no matter what position he is, it's the same!

After all, Iroh is a person, not a god, and he can't take the ball out in the midst of a lot of surrounding.

Despite this, Iello did not fully fall into the quagmire of Italian defence, and his frequent acceleration and reckless running made it equally uncomfortable for the veteran Zanetti who followed him.

Because Iro, both in terms of explosiveness and speed, is enough to throw off Zanetti for several streets.

And what's even more boring is that in the running without the ball, Iroh will always come to a few quick stops to accelerate and then stop urgently, plus the attackers always occupy the active side, so Zanetti is destined to fall into the rhythm of Iroh's frequent starts and emergency stops, and consume the body.

Flores originally thought that Ailo would fall into the defensive quagmire of Inter Milan and be depressed, but what he didn't expect was that Ailo would use frequent runs and intersperses to lead the Inter Milan backline, and by the way, he would also wear down the physical fitness of Inter captain Zanetti, who defended him, which was really a double win.

The ball quotient is really scary!

……

Mancini was still complacent about his defensive line to keep Elo in the early stages of the game, but after ten minutes, Elo was not completely dead.

Although Iello spent most of the 10 minutes running without the ball, he felt like he could help the team more than when he had the ball.

For example, in the 9th minute, Ballack won the ball in the middle, and Iroh accelerated forward violently, Zanetti, McCone and central defender Materazzi all subconsciously shrank to this side to prevent Iroh from participating in this wave of attacks.

It's just that what they don't know is that Iello has invisibly opened the defensive attention of central defender Materazzi for Balaclah, so that Ballack has plenty of time to shoot from a distance, so he changed his pass to shoot, and suddenly shot from a distance of twenty-five yards from the goal, if it weren't for the goalkeeper Cesar's concentration and one-handed slapping the ball out of the bottom line, it is really difficult to say whether he could hold the ball.

In the ensuing corner kick attack, Iello also beat Materazzi and Crespo to orient the ball to the goal, but under the interference of the two, the force was not enough, and the football was easily obtained by Cesar.

***

Three minutes later, Inter Milan organised an attack, Cesar drove the ball out, and Ibrahimovic and Albiol competed for space in Valencia's half, but Ibrahimovic, who was more prepared to judge where the ball would fall, swung the ball to Crespo next to him, and then turned and ran.

Because of Elo's saving of Zài, Mancini, for the sake of insurance, did not involve McConn, who has excellent assist ability, in the attack, so when Crespo got the ball, Figo was pulled to the side to respond.

Inter's entire formation was also slowly moving towards Valencia's half, with Cambiaso staying near the centre circle and Stankovic following Ibrahimovic to the left, looking for opportunities to pass or shoot.

When Figo was still 30 meters away from Valencia's goal, he suddenly passed the ball to the front of the penalty area, and Crespo, who was still running slowly, suddenly accelerated his speed and ran to catch it, a change that Valencia's defenders did not expect that it was a little too late by the time Baraja and Ayala stepped forward.

Crespo feigned a shot that scared his international team-mate Ayala to block sideways, and taking advantage of the time difference, he passed the ball horizontally to Ibrahimovic, and then quickly stepped forward to lead Baraja towards the penalty area.

Although Ibrahimovic was holding the ball with his back, Albiol did not dare to underestimate it, and hurriedly pasted it, using both hands and feet, trying to interfere with Ibrahimovic, who had excellent physical qualities.

But Ibrahimovic is not a player who allows bullying, he takes a big step on the left side of his left foot, and pulls Albiol's shirt with his left hand to prevent him from touching the football, and then the arch of his right foot throws the ball to the left side of his body, and with the help of the left hand that is in contact with Albiol's body, he pushes his body flexibly and shakes the angle, and shoots with his foot.

Canizares didn't expect Ibrahimovic's shot to be so decisive, and his reaction was half a beat slower, so he could only subconsciously turn his head to look at the football.

Bang dang -

This was followed by the sound of the football hitting the post, which shocked Canizares into a cold sweat.

****

Whew-w

At the same time, the fans at the scene also subconsciously held their heads with their hands and dragged their hair, with an incredible look on their faces, and let out a burst of exclamations.

When Mancini heard the 'clang', he roared over the Estadio Meazza and was clearly complaining about the home goalposts.

Del Orno, who was in position, was quick with his eyes and kicked the football off the touchline with one kick.

"Raul, look out for that big man! Don't let up the slack!! ”

The terrified Canizares roared at Albiol at the same moment that the ball flew off the sideline, obviously unhappy with his defense just now, how could he make this damn Swede take his feet lightly?

Albiol could only wave his hand in the face of angry former captain Canizares to show that he understood, and threw himself into a new round of defense, after all, it was his defensive mistake just now.

……

Ibrahimovic tugged at his hair in annoyance, his expression was very painful, he felt very good at the moment of shooting just now, but he didn't expect to hit the post, it was incredible.

What a great chance to get ahead of Valencia!

Also, a chance to get ahead of that Chinese was wasted!

Ibrahimovic spat out in displeasure, then turned his head to look in the direction of the goal, as if to remember where it was.

***

With the danger just now, Albiol became more cautious when defending against Ibrahimovic, and there were more small defensive moves, but because both of them were players with outstanding figures, they cheapened the other defender Ayala when fighting for positions.

As a result, Inter's attack was also hampered, and the game fell into a period of relative calm.

"After 10 minutes of probing each other, the two sides fell into a calm and no one dared to let go," commented Sky TV commentator Andy Gray.

Soon, his commentator took over, "After all, this is a knockout game, any goal conceded is likely to affect the final result, and it is normal for both sides to choose a relatively safe way of playing......

"If you want to break this situation, then you have to be the first to break the opponent's goal and break the balance." Andy Gray took over.

And his guest partner just nodded, kind of agreeing with him.

Indeed, as the two Sky commentators said, one side had to be the first to break the opponent's goal in order to break the temporary balance.

……

At that moment, Stankovic's eyes were on Figo's right, but he passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, who pulled out of the box, which frightened the Valencia defenders.

Sound east and west!

But fortunately, Albiol was very focused on defending Ibrahimovic, and when Ibrahimovic suddenly pulled out of the penalty area, he felt that something was wrong, so he followed out with doubts, and at this time, Stankovic just passed the football over, Albiol didn't care about 3721, and lowered his body weight at the same time, leaned against Ibrahimovic, and stretched his right leg, and poked the football out before Ibrahimovic.

Stankovic saw the football rolling to his side, so he naturally wanted to come over and grab this point and reorganize the attack, but how could Ballack, who was defending him, let him take the ball again so lightly?

The two started at the same time, chasing the ball, and eventually Ballack took advantage of his leg length and fell to the ground to tackle the ball to right wing-back Moretti.

Moretti, who spent two years at Valencia's main right-back, knew the team's most dangerous tactics, and the ball didn't stop for even half a second, passing the ball straight to David Silva in front of him.

At the same time, David Villa and Iello sprinted towards the opposing half like two sharp arrows.

David Silva spun to the ball, and Burdisso waited solemnly and put David Silva to the ground at the slightest mistake.

But David Silva didn't give him the slightest chance to face Burdisso, and directly passed the ball with his right foot to the unmarked feet of Albelda behind him on the left side of his body, and then accelerated forward.

Albelda didn't have any defenders within a three-metre radius, so he had plenty of time to look up, and during this time, Inter Milan's captain Zanetti grabbed Elloh's shirt and didn't let him start lightly.

And directly in front of Iroh there was also a McConn and Materazzi eyeing each other.

However, in the first time of Valencia's rapid counterattack, Ailo directly attracted the attention of the three Inter Milan defenders.

So Albelda didn't turn the ball towards his own attacking left, but instead went straight to the open space behind Burdisso, and in the pre-match understanding, the Argentine defender's speed was a clear disadvantage for him as a centre-back and wing-back.
