348 Authoritarianism and disobedience of all kinds
There is a very famous saying in the Chinese art of war, one blow is vigorous, then it declines, and three times it is exhausted!
There is also a saying that if things are too rigid, they are easy to break!
If these two sentences are put on the football field, they can very well describe the current situation of Juventus.
The opening attacking tactics did greatly suppress Inter Milan in terms of momentum, but it could not be maintained for a long time, once the opening game failed to score in one go, the next morale will be affected, and the team's own flaws will be exposed.
The lack of control in the midfield caused Juventus to quickly lose control of the game, and Lippi's side had to start moving from attacking to defending, and one thing must be admitted, that is, they did a good job of switching from attack to defence, and several counter-attacks by Inter Milan failed to achieve results.
Yang Cheng saw that the team's continuous attack was frustrated, and immediately waved his hand, signaling Pirlo and Deco to control the rhythm.
A mature team must be fast and slow, not too fast and not too slow!
Both too fast and too slow teams have proven to be easy to beat.
"Let Emerson retreat a little more!" Yang Cheng commanded.
Bergomi immediately conveyed Yang Cheng's instructions to Emerson and knew that the Brazilian immediately retreated steadily.
As soon as the midfielders retreated, the backline and midfield followed suit.
Juventus immediately felt the pressure on their defence, and the players were relieved that their biggest fear was that Inter Milan would break their own goal when they transitioned between attack and defence, and now it seems that they have survived.
However, in the distance, Lippi's expression became extremely grim, and he was even more worried than ever.
"Lift your spirits, concentrate and be careful!"
If Inter Milan continues to attack, Lippi is not worried at all, because he knows very well that Inter Milan under the attack is actually not terrible, the terrible thing is that they do not attack wildly, but look for opportunities slowly.
Pirlo and Deco, plus an Emerson combing midfielder behind him, Inter Milan's set of pure technical midfielders is really different, Emerson is a very special midfielder, excellent technique, strong defensive ability, full of positional sense, it is too difficult to find such a back.
But what's even more difficult is that playmakers like Andrea Pirlo and Deco will always be able to anticipate the situation before their opponents.
When the other person knows the next step before you, then he can easily beat you!
In the past, when Yang Cheng emphasized prediction, many people didn't know why, but now, everyone has to admit that he is right.
"The center of gravity is too far to the right, let Iulianor pull over a little!"
Zambrotta on the left side of Inter Milan moved forward, and Juventus' defense immediately leaned to the right, but Lippi frowned when he saw this situation and immediately asked his assistant to give a warning.
But a Ronaldo in front, Thuram may not be able to guard against it, plus a Nedved who is running all over the field and almost everywhere, it is too dangerous, Iuliano doesn't dare to be careless, and his attention is all on the right side.
Suddenly, the ball was passed back to Pirlo from Nedved's feet, and the Italian suddenly crossed the ball from the left to the right with a big foot, and it was a very precise cross.
Zanetti ran forward, stopped the ball with his chest and dribbled forward, Ruud van Nistelrooy burst forward from the edge of the box, and the Argentine got ahead of Billindelli and sent the ball behind Billindeli into the box.
Fortunately, Iuliano just now got a reminder from Lippi and immediately made up for it, but the Dutchman, under the interference of Iuliano, still forced his feet, and finally failed to play with his strength and was obtained by Van der Sar.
"Be careful, don't be fooled by their attack!"
Lippi shook his head, it was too dangerous, and if Iuliano's position had been a few meters to the right, Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal would have been impossible to avoid.
A lot of people are worried about Inter's attack, but those who really know tactics know that what is really scary is not when they are attacking, but when the tempo slows down before the attack is launched.
Their slowness is actually confusing the opponent, but also pulling the opponent's defense, so they set up a suspicious formation, and when they find a loophole, they will directly speed up and destroy you in one fell swoop.
It's as if just now, Inter Milan retreated, but in fact, it was to make Juventus think that they were holding on, and the three lines began to loosen, and then they pretended to attack the left side, forcing Juventus' defensive center of gravity to the right. ,
The width of the pitch meant that any team, when the centre of gravity was tilted to one side, must be loose on the other side, so Pirlo suddenly shifted his big foot, Zanetti cut in and tucked straight behind him, and Ruud van Nistelrooy reached in to receive the ball and shot straight at goal.
It's overwhelming!
Lippi was not relieved to see that he had survived, but continued to be cautious, reminding the backline players to pay attention to the adjustment of the opponent's attack, and the midfielders to pay attention to the protection and protection of the side of the center of gravity, so as not to rush to the same side.
The Silver Fox is the Silver Fox, as soon as it is adjusted, although Juventus' defense is still full of holes, at least there are three players in the midfield, and they can hold it for a while and a half, but the game is still controlled at the feet of Inter Milan.
…………
............ "This old guy looks like he's done his homework!" ”
Seeing that Juventus stabilized the situation, Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled.
The last thing he wants to see is that the situation becomes a positional war, which is simply a war of attrition, but now it seems that Juventus is clearly guarding in front of their own penalty area, and it depends on what means you Inter Milan has to attack.
"Don't keep pressing, keep the current momentum, take your time!"
If the team continues to press and attack, then Inter Milan will become Juventus.
Fans like to see the most is undoubtedly a hearty and fast attack, but for a team, the offense can't be too fast, can't be too hearty, and there has to be some leeway for everything, that's a strong team.
On the contrary, it was a crazy attack like Juventus at the beginning, and Yang Cheng had long expected that they would be difficult to last, so he was not worried at all.
"This old fox is very well calculated, as soon as he sees that the situation is wrong, he will hold it firmly, and make it clear that the carriage and horses will fight a positional battle with you." Benitez laughed, he felt that if this game was purely tactical, Lippi really did a good job.
"So what?" Yang Cheng asked rhetorically, "Eat him the same way!" ”
He has full confidence in his team, not only because he has Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo, the sharpest forward combination in the world, but also because he has a set of authoritarian and various disobedient golden midfielders, who disagree, kill him!
…………
…………
Nedved was sweating profusely, but he was still running.
When he saw the ball fall at Ferrara's feet, regardless of whether Ronaldo in front of him wanted to lean over or not, he rushed up as soon as possible, causing Ferrara to stop the ball and pass the ball immediately.
But the Czechs didn't stop there, he saw Ruud van Nistelrooy pressing towards Iuliano, and immediately ran to Tudor who came back to answer, as soon as Iuliano passed, Tudor took the ball, and Nedved pressed him, causing the Croatian to frustrate and send the ball to the left to Billindelli.
Ruud van Nistelrooy leaned in and Billindelli passed the ball to Iuliano, but Nedved was already pressed up, and Iuliano had no choice but to knock back.
The ball circled Juventus' own half before returning to Van der Sar's feet.
"Damn, this damn Czech, can't he run to death?"
I believe that at this moment, there are countless Juventus people who are depressed and scolded in their hearts, because he started to press from the front, and wherever the ball goes, he follows it, and it really doesn't fall for a moment.
This game is different from the previous ones, Nedved knows it!
Yang Cheng told him before the game that he could play completely according to his own wishes in this game, Yang Cheng would only give him some framework requirements, and would not restrict his play, and the implementation details would depend on him.
Nedved was a very simple man, he never felt that he had the talent to play, or rather, he never felt that he was better than others.
As a midfielder, in terms of technique, he is not as good as Pirlo, Deco, Veron and other teammates, in terms of creativity, he is not comparable to these teammates, in terms of positional sense, in terms of the ability to sort out the midfield, in terms of the ability to read the game, he is not as good as Emerson.
What can he rely on?
So he works hard every game, because he knows very well that if he doesn't work hard when he doesn't have the talent to compete with his competitors, then he can't play professionally at all, which was the case before and still is. Provided by Qihang Huolongjun
So he is always very diligent, very hard-working, and always running, grabbing, and fighting with a humble heart! ,
He tried his best in this game, because he felt that Yang Cheng had given him trust, and he would repay him.
It's a very simple equivalence formula, just like Nedved's people, it's not complicated, it's real!
Someone once asked Yang Cheng why Nedved appeared in the forward position of Inter Milan, and Caesar's answer to this was very simple, "Without him, I wouldn't dare to put Pirlo and Deco behind me, nor Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy in front!" ”
"Every time I see Nedved, I feel like this is a player who doesn't need praise, because any praise is a demeaning for him!"
The likes of Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy are also full of praise when talking about Nedved, and even the Brazilian himself admits, "Every time I see Nedved playing, I feel ashamed. ”
As his playing intelligence improved, and as he gained experience in the game, Nedved's running became smarter.
He no longer runs blindly like he used to, but always runs one step ahead of his opponents.
In many talented players, this ability seems to be innate, but for Nedved, he played football for decades, played in his early thirties, and ran an unknown number of kilometres before he began to understand it.
And in running, he always holds his head up, holding his head high, whether he is ahead or behind.
This allows him to never face criticism and blame, and it also allows him to better observe the opponent's ball.
It was as if this time, when Zambrotta was cut off on the left side and launched a counter-attack on the spot, Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy immediately pressed the two centre-backs, and Ferrara had no choice but to knock the ball back to Van der Sar. The Dutch goalkeeper saw that Ronaldo was about to harass him and immediately shifted the ball to the left.
Nedved, who had been in the middle just now, was the closest and immediately ran over to entangle Billindeli.
The Italian defender also saw Nedved coming, but he felt that Nedved was rushing so quickly, so he wanted to deceive the opponent, so he pulled the ball and made a sharp stop, as if he wanted to play his skills.
But who knows, after Nedved rushed up, he was not deceived by his tricks, wrapped his body around him, kept squeezing his back, and kept harassing him.
Billindelly was so entangled that he slipped while dribbling the ball, and the ball was stabbed to the touchline by Nedved.
Instead of looking at Billindley, the Czech rushed straight to the touchline and headed straight for the ball.
Seeing that the ball was about to go out of bounds, the linesman had already grabbed the flag, and it looked like Nedved was going to be unable to catch up.
Who knows, the Czechs gritted his teeth and rushed over, stopping the ball directly on the sideline, and he rushed out of the sideline as a whole, directly knocking down the billboard on the sideline and the caddie sitting on the stool behind the billboard.
But soon, Nedved jumped up from the ground, turned around, and saw that Iuliano in the distance and Camoranesi in front of him were coming to get the ball, and he ran back.
The billboard next to the Meazza Stadium was very close to the touchline, and Nedved got ahead of all of them, kicked the ball to the baseline, and chased after it with all his might, and it was hard to imagine that this guy had just hit so badly.
"Good chance, Nedved opened up a situation with his tenacity!"
At this moment, Inter Milan has two contact points in the middle, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo, plus a Nedved who leans into the penalty area, which is directly 3 to 1, Ferrara alone, there is no way to deal with it.
After seeing Nedved enter the box from the right side, he calmly looked at Van der Sar and Ferrara, who was defending Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The Dutchman came to a sudden stop at the penalty spot, and Ferrara, with some hesitation, followed suit.
Nedved seized the opportunity and immediately kicked the cross.
The ball rolled past Van der Sar and Ferrara in the middle of the area, neither fast nor slow, followed by Ronaldo, who had already arrived and was waiting in front of the goal.
The Brazilian met the incoming ball and easily pushed it, if he couldn't score such a ball, he should really be killed directly on the left post, directly living up to his alien name! Provided by Qihang Huolongjun
"Goal!!"
"Inter Milan pressed in front, Nedved's tenacious defense made Juventus's Billindelli make a mistake, the Italian was too careless, and he actually played with his skills in his own critical area, and was directly cut off by Nedved, which became a counterattack, which directly created Ronaldo's goal!" ,
"Pretty, so pretty!"
"If the hero of this goal is Ronaldo, then Nedved must take at least 80% of the credit, and Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy each occupy 10%, because if there is no Nedved's unremitting running and pressing, even if the ball is about to go out of bounds, he still refuses to give up the chase, even if he knocks down the billboard, but immediately stands up, and re-enters the game with the fighting spirit and tenacity, it is impossible to form a 3-on-1 situation, there is no such goal!"
"Nedved, let's reacquaint ourselves with this player, the Iron Man from the Czech Republic, Pavel? Nedved! ”
The Inter Milan fans all know how to watch the game, they all know how to analyze, who is the hero!
So after the team scored, although many people shouted Ronaldo's name, more, the loudest shouting in the audience, it was Nedved!
Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy also rushed over for the first time and hugged Nedved directly left and right.
"You kid, I thought you were going to bang the door yourself!" Ronaldo hugged Nedved all over.
"I wanted to hit the goal, but Van der Sar stepped up, the angles were blocked, and in the end, I thought about it, it was a pass!" Nedved laughed and said that, in fact, he never thought of scoring by himself because he felt that Ronaldo was in a better position.
Just like Ruud van Nistelrooy, the Dutchman stopped immediately when he saw that there was no defender next to Ronaldo, interfering with Ferrara's judgment and directly creating an opportunity for Ronaldo to face an empty goal.
The rarest and most terrifying thing about a group of players is not their strength, but their cooperation, and the selflessness they show on the court.
The Inter trident raised its hands in the air and shouted excitedly at the fans in the stands.
"It's a spelled goal!"
"Inter Milan are really amazing, they can play hearty, technically delicate attacking football, but they can also play exhilarating and bloody football when the attack is weak, this is a team that people have to convince!"
After celebrating the goal with Ronaldo, Nedved looked up at the time, it was only 39 minutes!
'We still have time, we still have a chance, keep trying to score!' Nedved shouted with his right hand raised.
This is undoubtedly a slogan that makes the opponent collapse, especially when I saw Nedved pressing so hard and running so much in the first half, I didn't expect him to have this strength.
"Is this guy really cast in iron? Wouldn't he be tired? ”
The Inter Milan players seem to have long been accustomed to Nedved's situation, and although they always feel that the Czechs today are playing harder and harder, they also feel normal.
Perhaps, until one day, the Czechs suddenly become Ronaldo, they will think, how is this guy abnormal?
Yang Cheng chose Nedved as the captain of the team in the first place, and he took a fancy to Nedved's diligence and hard work, as well as his tenacious fighting spirit and never-say-die spirit on the court.
He believes that Nedved can become a qualified captain and infect all Inter players with his own spirit, and thus become a part of the Inter spirit.
Under the call of Nedved, after Juventus restarted, Inter Milan launched a crazy pressing and encirclement of Juventus from front to back, trapping Juventus firmly in their own half...... )
