Chapter 701: Inter Milan (2)
PS: First of all, I want to ask for a recommendation vote here, I hope you can support it a lot, thank you~
Carlos took two steps back and received a ball from Toldo. However, before he could adjust his posture, Zanetti, who had just withdrawn from the penalty area, rushed towards Carlos, and he didn't want Fiorentina to play a wave of quick counter-attacks.
Since the players on both sides have not completely withdrawn from the Fiorentina penalty area at this time, Carlos did not dare to pass the ball back to Toldo, in case he was accidentally intercepted by the Inter Milan players halfway, it would be a lot of fun.
So, Carlos relied on the advantage of strength and center of gravity to force out of Zanetti, who stepped forward to press, and then quickly passed the ball to Redondo, who rushed to answer.
Redondo took the ball and turned around, and then a through ball passed the ball to Ronaldo, who had advanced to the front!
After more than a year of continuous efforts by Simeone, Inter Milan has initially established a fairly solid defensive system. The reason why I say this is preliminary is because for a team's defensive system, the most important thing is to be stable in terms of personnel, but with Inter Milan under the control of Mo's boss, this is obviously very difficult to do - the Nerazzurri's population movement every summer is always one of the hot topics in Italian football.
Therefore, when he saw that the aliens were about to get Redondo's through pass, Aaron Winter, one of Inter Milan's two midfielders, immediately rushed over to defend Ronaldo, and his task was to use all means to slow down the home team's advance, so as to prevent Fiorentina from playing this quick counterattack; Another midfielder, Diego Simeone, remained in the middle, firstly to fill in for the scrambling Winter, and secondly, to prevent Effenberg in the middle from taking advantage of the opportunity to follow up - in many previous games, Fiorentina used Ronaldo to attract a lot of attention from defenders on one side of the pitch and then suddenly knocked back, and then Vieri and Effenberg in the middle completed the final blow, which Simeone couldn't help but accidentally deal with.
But Ronaldo didn't bother to pay attention to Winter who rushed towards him, and the continuous acceleration and change of direction gave the Dutch defender a clean pass! However, after getting rid of Winter's defense, Ronaldo did not choose to continue to advance with the ball, worried that the Dutch midfielder would jump over the wall and sacrifice some lethal tricks, and the alien chose to pass the ball diagonally to Vieri, who had run to the line of the Inter Milan penalty area, so that he could be responsible for the next attack.
I don't know if it's out of respect for Batistuta's master, in the face of Gallant's defense (the 34-year-old Uncle Bergomi is impossible to defend the strong Vieri, because that is tantamount to suicide), Vieri squeezed the opponent with his body like a gourd, and at the same time controlled the ball with his left foot to turn on the spot, and then directly shot at the top of the arc of the penalty area!
Pagliuca, who had been focused on Vieri, also made a very good save, although Vieri's strong shooting power made him get out of his hands on the first pounce, but Pagliuca, who reacted quickly, immediately pressed the ball firmly under him when the ball bounced back towards the small penalty area, which made Vieri, who was about to follow up with a follow-up kick, extremely disappointed.
"At the start of the game, both teams contributed three very dangerous shots! In two cases, the ball was given directly to the centre-forward, who formed a one-on-one situation with the centre-back, and then relied on the centre-forward's strong individual ability to complete the shot...... Simeone and Capello's tactical arrangement, although a bit monotonous, is indeed a very effective offensive means. Although Stam will not fall behind in the face of Batistuta in his prime, the Argentine god of war can indeed make Stam unable to take care of defending other areas in a large way, and in the case of similar ability, Batty as an attacker obviously has more initiative; Of course, in comparison, Fiorentina is obviously more dominant in this kind of big discovery, because Vieri's height and strength advantage is a huge deterrent to Inter's backline, Bergomi and Gallant are not as tall as Vieri in height, and they can't be compared to them in terms of strength, so if they can't effectively control Vieri, Inter Milan can only pray that Pagliuca can have a good performance in this game......"
Obviously, with the quality of the attack and the ability to create scoring chances, the commentator clearly thinks that Fiorentina, who are playing at home, have a better chance of winning this game. Because compared to Inter Milan, who can only hope for Pagliuca's appearance, the defense is more solid and stronger, and Fiorentina, who also have such a top goalkeeper as Toldo, obviously have more advantages.
Due to the failure of the opening attacking strategy, he was almost counterattacked by Fiorentina, so scared that Simeone asked the players to quickly recycle the formation and tighten the fence, leaving only a few people such as Baggio and Batty in the front court, wanting to play Fiorentina's counterattack.
It is precisely because Inter Milan gave up the initiative to attack, and in the following time, Fiorentina began to launch an all-round three-dimensional offensive!
In the sixteenth minute, Fiorentina's continuous inverted feet and switching attacks in the midfield successfully disrupted the Inter Milan defense, Vieri, who retreated to get the ball, distributed it to Ljungberg in time, and the Swede relied on his body to cut the ball horizontally against Colonnese's defense, and then shot low into the far corner directly at the edge of the penalty area, Pagliuca quickly fell to the ground to seal the ball off the bottom line, corner kick.
Redondo took a corner, Vieri grabbed the first spot on Gallant's head and flicked his head at goal, but his ball escaped Pagliuca's defence, but it flew slightly over the crossbar.
After Fiorentina threatened the safety of their own goal twice in a row, Inter Milan also launched a counter-attack. Simeone got the goal kick from Pagliuca in the middle and passed the ball directly to Baggio, who retreated to organize the attack, who received the ball and tried to get rid of Redondo's pressing laterally, but at this time, Makelele, who was ambushed behind Redondo, suddenly came out and broke the ball!
After breaking the ball, Makelele passed the ball directly to Redondo next to him for the first time, and the Argentine prince was worthy of his name as the most elegant midfielder, facing the menacing Baggio and Djokaeve, his left foot flicked and buckled, breaking out of the gap between the two, and then sent a straight plug without the slightest pyrotechnics!
Redondo's long left-footed pass instantly pierced the entire midfield, and the ball flew between Winter and Simeone and landed exactly at the feet of Ronaldo, who was on the left side of the field!
Ronaldo, who got this opportunity ball, did not hesitate at all, and he took the ball directly towards Inter Milan's goal, and used his powerful explosive power and dribbling skills to force through the central defense composed of Bergomi and Gallant, which caused a burst of exclamations from the Fiorentina fans in the stands!
Next, the alien didn't choose to even pass Pagliuca with him, because Bergomi was not far behind him and didn't have that much time to delay. Therefore, in the face of Pagliuca, who took the initiative, Ronaldo directly sent the ball into the near corner of the goal with a curling ball!
Florence, 1 to 0!
