Chapter five hundred and forty second storm

"Welcome to watch a game in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in 2006-07! This game was played at the Meazza Stadium, against both sides, the home team Inter Milan and the visiting team Valencia! Inter Milan has set the longest record in the league this season in the league, and Valencia's recent situation is not particularly good. They have almost no hope of winning the league championship! Inter Milan has almost no opponent in the league... but this game

Inter Milan took the lead in playing at home, which was a relatively unfavorable situation for them. In this game, Valencia sent all their main players, goalkeeper Canisales, the defender Miguel and Moreti on both wings, the center back was the team of captain Ayala and Albiol. In terms of midfield, Marchena and Alberda were paired with two midfielders, Angulo on the right, and the attacking midfielder on the left was young local midfielder David Silva. The forward partner was Morientes and Billy.

Asia's local forward partner, this lineup is already Valencia's strongest lineup, while Inter Milan also sent a 442 formation, goalkeeper Cesar, right back Macon, left back Zanetti, and center back were sent by Matrazi and Cordoba's partner, Cannavaro was slightly injured and unable to play. In the midfield, Mascherano, Sneider and Stankovic formed three midfielders, Figo broke through one, and the forward partner was Ibrahimovic and Tony! This is also an international one

Milan's main lineup, except for Perrota sitting on the bench, all the other main players are on the court. Inter Milan is sitting on the bench with Tordo, Chiellini, Aberoa, Yaya Toure, Perrota, Cruz and Dinatale! From the thickness of this bench, it can be seen that Inter Milan this season is indeed unprecedentedly strong. They have no opponents in the Serie A! Although they play at home first, it is estimated that Inter Milan will also attack from the beginning..."

Amid the commentator's shouts, players from both sides entered the field - the commentator's words were not wrong. Inter Milan did attack from the beginning, while Valencia focused on defense, allowing Marchena to appear in the midfield to strengthen defense, and the offensive player was only four frontcourt players. Angulo involved Inter Milan's offensive pressure through running, Silva was responsible for organization and breakthrough tasks, Morientes interfered with Inter Milan's defense line at the forefront, and Villa was ready to find opportunities at any time - such a lineup is a standard defensive counterattack lineup.

For teams with excellent offense, breaking the iron barrel formation is a difficult problem, not to mention that Valencia is famous for her strong defense. This kind of strength has begun since the Cooper era. Cooper, Benitez, and Ranieri are all head coaches who focus on defense. It has formed a tradition that they cannot lose, but are often difficult to lose because their defense is difficult to break.

For Inter Milan, this is a test, and it is a strict test that has not been truly tested before. In this season in history, Inter Milan lost the game in a very good situation when facing Valencia. The lessons of the past are there, and it can't help but make Dick be wary.

Even if Dick is arrogant, he is only strategically arrogant. In terms of specific tactics, he has never underestimated any opponent. Sixteen consecutive victories cannot be achieved by simply sending a few people to the court. Targeted tactical arrangement is one of the reasons why he has been able to become the world's top head coach until now.

Valencia's defense is indeed very good. Portuguese defender Miguel and Italian defender Moretti are both players who are better at defense. Although Albiol performed poorly in Real Madrid later, that was caused by Real Madrid's tactics - he is a player with excellent frontal defense ability, but he turned slowly. Such players can perform well in defensive tactics, which seems to be a bit insufficient in open tactics. Valencia uses defensive tactics - these three defenders are not top defenders, but they all have excellent defensive abilities. With the experienced Ayala's organization, their defense line is quite stable.

With the defensive fill-up of Alberda and Marchena in front of him, it is very difficult to break such a formation, which is also a test of Inter Milan's offensive system.

After the game started, Inter Milan was not in a hurry to attack. Facing Valencia, who had a defensive posture, they attacked patiently.

"Inter Milan should be confident. After Dick took over, they were unbeaten in the knockout stage of the European game! In Inter Milan's history, they have never lost to La Liga teams at home. Even Real Madrid lost one-to-three at Meacha Stadium. Whether in terms of strength or state, they are above Valencia. We can look forward to seeing a victory."

Through back and forth, Inter Milan quickly created an opportunity. After Ibrahimovic got the ball, he quickly passed the ball back. After Figo received the ball, he passed it to the left. After assisting, Sanetti forced his breakthrough through Miguel's defense and made a cross. Tony inserted in the middle attracted the attention of two opponent's defenders, but the ball flew over from their heads. Stankovic, who was inserted in the back row, headed directly to the goal against the falling ball!

Amid the sighs of Inter Milan fans, Stankovic's header missed the near post, and this header Stankovic was slightly tilted.

Dick clapped his face and sat back. Zanetti's breakthrough was very beautiful, but the cross was still somewhat deviated, otherwise this header would be more threatening - but don't worry, the game has just begun, Inter Milan has opportunities, as long as they can seize such an opportunity...

However, Valencia's defense is indeed quite strong. After this attack in the first three minutes, Valencia kept allowing Inter Milan to find another shot in the tenth minute - Sneijder, who inserted it, passed the penalty area diagonally after receiving Ibrahimovic's pass from the left, Tony flew to the bottom line before the opponent's two central defenders, and the ball flew out of the baseline against the near post.

In the eleventh minute, Sneijder's shot at the front of the penalty area was blocked by Ayala on the goal line. Albiol's big foot cleared the ball and flew towards the midfield. Mascherano intercepted the ball in front of Silva and handed it to Stankovic. Stankovic forced a breakthrough along the right and made a cross!

The ball drew an arc and flew straight to the back point. Ibrahimovic inserted it from the back row and headed directly to the falling ball!

With a "clang" sound, the ball hit the inside of the goal post and then bounced into the penalty area. Tony followed up and planned to shoot, but Ayala, who was back in time, cleared the ball out with big feet!

"It's so dangerous! Inter Milan's offense is too fierce. They created three or four good opportunities in more than ten minutes! If it weren't for the problem of luck, they would have scored a goal long ago. Although Valencia's defense is excellent, it seems that it can't stop Inter Milan's offense... If Inter Milan scored first, then Valencia would be in danger..."

Flores clenched his fists on the sidelines. He didn't expect Inter Milan's offense to be so powerful. Even though Valencia used defensive tactics from the beginning, they still created so many opportunities - this is enough to bring goals! If this continues, let alone strive to win away games, I'm afraid that even if I lose less away games...

However, the game has only been more than ten minutes, and if you adjust now, the players are at a loss. They have not lost the ball before, which is also Valencia's luck. Inter Milan's next attack may relax, after all, no team can maintain the pressure of high speed...

Sure enough, after a few minutes, Inter Milan's offense began to gradually slow down. The next two shots were long shots from outside the penalty area. Ibrahimovic and Zanetti respectively fired guns outside the penalty area and were rushed one by one by Canisales, and Valencia's offense also began to gradually start.

Villa and Silva each had a shot that threatened Inter Milan's goal, but Inter Milan had very strict protection in the penalty area. Both shots came from outside the penalty area. Silva's shot missed the baseline, while Villa's shot was saved by Cesar. Morientes was unable to create any opportunity under Matrazi's defense, and could only continue to fight Matrazi in the penalty area...

After a period of adjustment, Inter Milan launched a fierce attack again after the 25th minute of the game! Now there are two players in the frontcourt who can get the ball. Whether Ibrahimovic gets the ball or Figo gets the ball, other players will run back and forth to create opportunities. Behind them is Sneijder continuously sending passes to the frontcourt, which is the core of Inter Milan's offense.

Figo intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and cut inside and was knocked down by Ayala. Ibrahimovic shot with a free kick directly and was over.

Macon made a corner kick through the breakthrough, Figo took the corner kick, and Matrazi headed the ball and was saved by Canisales.

Figo got the ball on the wing again and was knocked down by Alberda. Alberda received a yellow card. This yellow card made him miss the next round of the game. Dick nodded slightly - the advantage was accumulated little by little.

Figo stood in front of the ball, while Inter Milan players rushed into the penalty area one by one, ready to grab the spot at any time.

Figo took a deep breath. His appearances this season were a little less than last season. This was because his physical fitness had begun to decline, but now he is in good condition.

The right foot touched the ball and exerted force. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew straight to the front point!

Ibrahimovic rushed to the front point and used his body to withstand Albiol who was defending him. Although Albiol was desperately defending Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic still hit the ball at the first time. He used an irregular shot and hooked the ball directly towards the goal!

Canisales made a wonderful save and blocked the ball with one hand on his side!

As Inter Milan fans began to sigh, a figure appeared in front of the rolling ball and shot directly in the air against the ball!

The ball flew into Valencia's goal without any suspense! Sneed scored! Under the cover of so many big men in the penalty area, the short Sneed appeared accurately at the landing point of the ball and directly filled the ball into Valencia's goal!

The cheers of Inter Milan fans suddenly rang out in the stands. After waiting for half an hour, Inter Milan's offense finally tore open Valencia's defense! Such a goal may bring victory to Inter Milan!

"The ball was scored! Wesley? Sneider! Beautiful goal! Inter Milan took the lead! Valencia is in trouble now! Their defense has not been able to block Inter Milan's attack. What will they do next?"
