On the afternoon of February 2, when Inter Milan played against Turin, Juventus also ushered in the challenge of Atlanta.
Only three minutes into the game, Thuram made a mistake in the backcourt of Juventus. The ball was intercepted by Atlanta winger Shodati.
Atalanta, which led by one goal, retreated across the board. Juventus attacked for a full 90 minutes, and finally Trezeguet scored a goal in stoppage time to equalize the score.
This result made Lippi, the head coach on the sidelines, very depressed. Since the second half of the league, both Inter Milan and AC Milan have made great strides.
On the other hand, Juventus, after the game was tied, the gap with the leading group was further widened. It is no exaggeration to say that Juventus is getting farther and farther away from the Serie A championship trophy this season.
Assistant coach Ralph reminded from the side: "Mr. Lippi, shall we have a meeting today to decide on the list of semi-finalists in the Coppa Italia in the middle of the week?"
Lippi woke up like a dream, and quickly said: "Yes, we have to do this." Since there is little hope of winning the league title, he will work hard in the Champions League and Coppa Italia. There are also high-level explanations from the club.
The technical coach on the side reminded: "I have collected the videos of Inter Milan's recent rounds, and I have to study them carefully. Compared with the beginning of the season, their lineup has undergone many changes, including Zambrotta on the back line and the striker. Franck Ribery."
"Looks like I'm going to stay up all night, I'm going to prepare coffee." The assistant on the side said.
The first round of the contest between the two sides was held at the Meazza Stadium. From the beginning of the game, Juventus showed unparalleled pressure. Their momentum of breaking the boat made Inter Milan terrified.
In the 5th minute, the Juventus goalkeeper took a goal kick. Inter Milan's backcourt Cannavaro and Del Piero were fighting for the top, but Piero took the lead to grab the first goal, and then he flew the header to the left. .
Trezeguet stepped up and took the ball away like a ghost, kicked a low shot in the penalty area, the ball pierced the gate of Toldo's handle, and Juventus took the lead.
In the 21st minute, Juventus shifted a wide range of frontcourt. Nedved received the ball from the wing and made a cross near the baseline. Materazzi and Cordoba in front of the penalty area failed to touch the ball and flew to The unguarded Del Piero easily headed the ball into the goal of Inter Milan, 2:0!
In just 20 minutes, Inter Milan fell behind by two goals, which made the players on the field and the coaching staff off the field feel unbelievable.
Cooper frowned. He noticed that Lippi had adopted an extremely clever tactical arrangement against Inter Milan. He focused on targeting Cannavaro on the defensive end, and cut off the connection between Wang Feng and others on the offensive end. Inter Milan's play!
Cannavaro has always been one of the weaknesses of Inter Milan's defense. In addition to off-court factors, it is more because he has always been incompatible with Cooper's tactical system.
You know, at the beginning of the season, the defensive player Cooper was thinking about was Nesta, but unfortunately he was intercepted first by AC Milan, so Moratti had to get Cannavaro for him.
After knowing this, Cooper was so angry that he wanted to curse. Cannavaro and Cordoba completely overlapped in tactical roles, and one was an absolute main force, and the other was a big-name star. Varo was placed in the unfamiliar full-back role.
This arrangement has seriously affected Cannavaro's performance. After the introduction of Zambrotta, the problem has been alleviated to a certain extent, but how to decide the starting lineup has become a big trouble. Cooper can only rotate now and try to balance the players. relationship between.
As for the front line, it is easier to understand. At present, Wang Feng is the only one who can actually play. There were several mistakes.
Still too immature, Franck Ribery needs time to hone, like Wang Feng, an evildoer who stands proud of the crowd as soon as he lands in Serie A, he is the only one in European football.
Wang Feng on the field also felt Juventus' hard work and the subtlety of Lippi's tactical arrangements at this time. If this continues, the teammates may become more and more frustrated, and they may give up in their hearts. After all, it is just a cup match.
But Wang Feng didn't want to do that! Now that he has reached the semi-finals, how can he give up lightly, his eyes have gradually become sharper, and now he needs to "desperately" himself, and must win a goal before halftime to boost the morale of the team!
Afterwards, Wang Feng expanded his range of activities and was very active on both offense and defense. In the 41st minute, he finally took a chance!
It was a midfield dropback to catch the ball. Wang Feng looked at the Juventus defense in front of him. Although they were very dense, they seemed a little lazy, because so far, Inter Milan has not been able to pose a particularly dangerous threat. The mentality of the players is inevitable. relax.
It's now! Wang Feng suddenly dribbled the ball into motion and passed Tacchinardi and Davis like the wind, startling them and chasing him quickly, but how could he catch up.
Seeing this, Tudor stepped forward to block, Wang Feng made a sudden right move, passed by his side, and went straight into the penalty area. From the midfield to the penalty area~www.mtlnovel.com~ Wang Feng only took a dozen seconds That's all.
Defender Thuram and goalkeeper Buffon in the penalty area hurriedly double-teamed him one after another, but Wang Feng fell to the ground and shot the far corner of the goal at the critical moment. The ball flew out of the blocked gap and entered the goal. Juventus' gate.
"The goal is scored! It's beautiful! Wang Feng has done a great job!"
"Towards the end of the first half, Wang Feng successfully scored a goal for Inter Milan! This goal can be described as smooth and flowing." In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Zhang Jun explained impassionedly.
This season, Inter Milan successfully entered the final four of the Coppa Italia. In order to convey Wang Feng's cup results to domestic fans as soon as possible, the sports channel and the Italian Football Association reached an agreement to broadcast the next three matches of Inter Milan. If they successfully enter the final .
"Inter Milan's performance in the first half can only be described as horrible, but our international footballer Wang Feng has shown a strong will not to lose to anyone, and he can be seen on both offense and defense."
"But this time, it was his active retreat and superb foot skills that forced out opportunities that did not exist before."
"Looking at this one-stop goal again, Tacchinardi and Davis didn't react at all, and Tudor was easily escaped. The timing of the shot in front of the goal was just right, it was perfect!"
After scoring the goal, Wang Feng pointed to the sky to celebrate, and then hugged the teammates who rushed over one by one, saying: "Guys, we haven't lost yet, there is only one goal left, cheer up!"
When everyone heard the words, they all nodded heavily. They were also infected by Wang Feng's fighting spirit, and their depressed mood was swept away.
