Now Inter Milan can’t attack to reduce the pressure on defense, and at the same time, they can compete for the initiative. The possibility of losing the ball is increasing!
In the 29th minute, fortunato quickly gave the ball to the German in effenberg after stealing it from the backcourt, and immediately sent it straight-this time it was a middle-distance ball that fell directly to Ronaldo’s foot. After half a year, the aliens finally got the starting opportunity. They were unambiguous in the face of paul ince and Fresi, and they rushed out of their encirclement with the ball. After attracting the attention of Bergomi, they shook their ankles and gave the ball to batistuta on the other side of the penalty area!
After catching the ball, batistuta is in a state of being watched by people. Seeing him directly swing his right foot is a powerful attack!
Pagliuca quickly moved a flank to save the ball from the baseline and Florence got a corner kick.
Due to various reasons, the performance of the Argentine God of War is not particularly outstanding this season, especially after he scored an amazing 30 goals this season. So far, Batty has scored 15 league goals, and the goal efficiency is far lower than that of the same period last year.
There are many reasons for this situation, the most important of which is that Batty played more in the European Champions League last season, which made him miss a lot of league games. It really depends on the feeling that Batty can score goals no matter how he shoots in the season, which is the best evidence.
Therefore, when Batty saw that his shot was actually saved by pagliuca, he shook his head and then honestly ran to the penalty area to prepare for the coming corner kick.
It was Baggio who was in charge of the penalty corner kick. After hearing the referee’s whistle, Baggio observed the players in a restricted area and stepped back two steps, then raised his right foot and directly threw the ball out!
Baggio’s corner kick is very fast, but the arc is relatively high. Even if pagliuca is 1.9 meters tall and bounces well at the same time, he can intercept the ball halfway!
When the ball flew to the restricted area, effenberg, who had helped batistuta to clear the surrounding obstacles, rushed to the back point, while batistuta, who had been covered, held paul ince, who had been stuck beside them, behind him with a horizontal body!
Inter Milan’s two central defenders reacted quickly. Bergomi and Cordoba rushed to effenberg, who had already rushed to the back point, because it was obvious that Baggio’s ball was directed at the back point!
However, they are still one step behind. After all, they are slower than effenberg by more than one beat. At the same time, the Germans’ height of one meter is not a lost opportunity. They can stop it!
Take-off effenberg just met the falling ball. However, instead of directly throwing his head at the goal, he headed the ball to the middle of the penalty area again!
The defense in the restricted area of Inter Milan has become quite fragile after being tossed by effenberg and Batty. batistuta leans against the back and Ince nudges the ball three meters away from the opponent’s door!
In the face of shooting at such a close distance, pagliuca can look at the ball and sigh this time even if there is something going on.
A match! Florence leads away!
Chapter 22 Fight Inter Milan (2)
With a set-piece opportunity, Florence took the lead at the Meazza Stadium. Although this way of leading seemed to be a formula for the weak team to win against the strong team, before the first goal, she boasted that Viola would lose after a long attack, but the commentators fell silent at this moment.
After all, after watching the 30-minute game, the away game against Florence has dominated the absolute wind. Apart from this goal, they had several good scoring opportunities before, but they only seized this corner kick.
Before the game, the Italian public opinion was quite optimistic that Inter Milan believed that the Nerazzurri had the ability to stop Florence, which suffered a series of fierce battles, but now it seems that this wish is so unrealistic.
So far, this game is a solo dance by a team in Florence. At both ends of the attack and defense, they have an absolute advantage in the wind scene and a score advantage. These are all real advantages.
Although Florence now has a goal lead, it is this goal gap that is enough for Viola to take the three points she needs at Meazza Stadium. After all, it is not easy for one party to accumulate absolute score advantage in a strong dialogue. Of course, once the score advantage is accumulated, it is even more difficult for the opponent to get it back.
This is why the three-goal lead of AC Milan at half-time in the 5-year Champions League final was magically equalized by the Liverpool people, which caused such a big shock. If it is a basketball game, two teams can play a few rounds of good luck and make a small wave of high tide.
After gaining the lead, the pace of commanding Florence in Ranieri became slow. After all, the whole game has only passed by one third. Before Florence besieged its opponents for a long time, it also caused a lot of physical strength. Considering that the players could not be kept in such a high-intensity state all the time, and there was a fierce battle in the team three days later, the tinker thought it was time for the players to save some of their physical strength.
After Florence consciously contracted the formation, Inter Milan’s attack improved. However, there was not much for the Nerazzurri who had turned to defend Florence Hodgson. Blanca and Gunz were very active but lacked the ability to attack. They did not pose any threat to Florence’s gate.
In the last ten minutes of the half-time, Inter Milan still created some opportunities, but these opportunities were all created by set pieces. It seems that Hodgson has made a lot of efforts in this respect after taking over the coach of Inter Milan, but compared with Florence, Inter Milan’s luck is much worse. The two corner kicks all grabbed the first point, but they were interfered by Lala and Stada by a small margin. In the 42nd minute, Bertie took a long-range shot from the left side of the stadium 25 meters away from the goal. This shot was very threatening, but it was blocked by toldo.
When the referee blew the half-time whistle, the score was one ahead of Florence.
"On the whole, Hodgson is still not a top manager …" Zhuang Ge thought to himself at halftime.
Looking at Hodgson’s coaching experience, we can find that the Englishman can get good results in some weak teams, but when he coached the giants, this rigid and lack of change in tactical arrangement became his fatal flaw. Whether he coached Inter Milan, Liverpool or England, Hodgson was always ugly and always won the game, but when it came to that crazy moment when he needed a lot of goals, he couldn’t get crazy.
That’s why he did well in coaching small and medium-sized teams, but it was disappointing when he arrived at the giants.
……
After half-time, Inter Milan did not continue the offensive momentum in the last ten minutes of the half-time as expected by the fans. After a fifteen-minute break, Florence regained control of the situation. Inter Milan’s tragedy was once again suppressed by the opponent’s attack!
After winning the initiative, Florence continued to attack Inter Milan!
Although Fiorentina players don’t get many shots, they are patiently looking for opportunities, and every time they create opportunities, the fans of Inter Milan in the stands of Meazza Stadium are frightened.
In the 49th minute, effenberg scored the ball in the middle of the road. After catching the ball on the left, Ronaldo drove straight into the continuous direction, swayed by Ince and Sadie, and then broke into the restricted area. He shot the ball directly from the bottom line and was confiscated by pagliuca.
In the 56th minute, it was effenberg who launched the offensive again. The Germans gave the ball to Baggio Baggio, then inserted the ball into Zambrotta, who was in charge of defending Zambrotta. Carlos was still nearly ten meters behind the Italian teenager …
After receiving the ball, Zambrotta didn’t hesitate to kick directly. The ball drew an arc in the middle, jumped high and tried to clear Fresi, then fell to Batty’s foot. The Argentine god of war greeted the ball and shot angrily, but the ball hit the bottom line of the column heavily …
"Buddy’s luck today is really not very good. How many times did people interfere with the shooting? They either hit the post or were blocked by pagliuca?" Zhuang Ge saw this scene. After all, it is strange to score goals, and luck accounts for a lot of weight in it.
For example, in the final of the 19 th European Cup, Van Basten scored a goal in that century against the Soviet goalkeeper Dasayev at a certain angle, and it was not necessary for him to kick the ball into the door a hundred times, but it was that time that Van Basten succeeded that it was also due to luck.
Although Florence was unlucky in attacking several times and failed to score goals, they were not discouraged, but they were still looking for opportunities to score goals.
When the game went on for the 69th minute, Florence’s good luck finally came.
Ronaldo dribbled the ball on the left, passed three Inter Milan players in a row with his excellent skills and explosive power, then broke into the restricted area, and after attracting the attention of Bergomi and others, he left his foot!
Follow-up in the middle of the road batistuta knocked the unlucky Fresi to the east and west in the process of forward charge. Against the backdrop of the Argentine God of War, this new star defender, who is highly expected by Inter Milan, seems so capable.
Fresi was left behind, and batistuta met Ronaldo’s goal and shot again from the penalty spot!
The ex-Argentine was once blocked by the goalpost. Although he scored a goal in the 30 th minute, Batty was still very unhappy. After all, no striker would think that he scored too many goals.
In the face of Batty’s shot, neither pagliuca nor the goalpost can save Inter Milan this time.
Batty shot the ball directly into the front door without giving pagliuca a response!
2-0!
Chapter 23 Fight Inter Milan (3)
On the spot, when the score was rewritten to 2-0, Hodgson gave up completely with a sigh, hoping to equalize the score. He changed veteran Manko and paganin successively, and two offensive players, Gunz and Kanu, announced that they would give up the game, which also made the game completely chicken ribs with more than 20 minutes left.
After seeing the hint that the other coach raised his hand to surrender, Liranelli also changed hands when he came. First, in the 73rd minute, tommasi changed effenberg to strengthen the defensive range of the midfield, which also meant that the Germans could take a rest for a while, and at the same time, they would reserve some physical strength after three days of fierce fighting. Five minutes later, vieri changed the game and scored twice. batistuta let him enjoy the honor of cheering thousands of Florence fans alone. Finally, filippo inzaghi, the tinker, replaced Ronaldo. After all, the Brazilian’s knee injury is good. Ranieri doesn’t want to let his general miss for a long time again because of fatigue soon.
After three substitutions, some changes have taken place in Florence’s tactical play. After all, Inzaghi is not as good as Ronaldo and Baggio in dribbling. He is a pure striker, so the position of Roberto Baggio, who was hidden behind the center as a shadow striker, further moved to the front waist. He took over the Florence organization from effenberg. On the substitute tommasi, Davis and Tachinadi together formed a tight defensive barrier in front of the back line.
After changing two attacking players, Inter Milan strengthened its defense and didn’t give Florence too many opportunities. Although Manko’s competitive state has slipped greatly, he still helped Inter Milan’s midfielder stabilize his position with his own experience. It seems that the international midfield defense is no longer in name only; Paganin’s number of defenders in the Nerazzurri increased by three, and Bergomi moved back to the position of sweeper, which was responsible for cleaning up the ball leaked from the defence.
Hodgson has made it clear that he has admitted the defeat of the game. Now the main thing is to strengthen the team’s defense as much as possible and not let the game turn into a complete defeat.
