Chapter 189 The Tinkerer

"Nedved! Flying tackle! Marchisio! Oh oh oh! Avoid it! He shoots from a long distance----!!!"

Marchisio kicked the football hard with his right foot, and the ball roared towards the upper right corner of the goal like a shell!

Football drew a beautiful arc!

Buffon reacted very quickly and flew to pounce. He tried his best, but he still missed a little. In the air, the Italian national goalkeeper watched the football and his arm barely pass by and flew into the goal...

"Gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!"

The football was hit in the upper right corner of the goal. From the perspective of the stands, it seemed like it hit the side netting. The fans were even shocked for a moment, but they soon realized that the ball had gone in.

Huge cheers soon followed!

"Beautiful long shot! Beautiful offensive coordination from Inter Milan! Inter Milan leads Juventus by one goal!" Ferrari shouted.

"The change of positions between Muntari and Marchisio created a wonderful chemical reaction! The movement of Aguero and Milito acted as a cover, Mata's distribution was beautiful, and Marchisio's shot was beautiful! Beautiful.

The goal! From the beautiful on-the-spot command of the head coach Li Ang to the performance of the players, it is extremely beautiful! They are ahead!" Rossi was full of praise.

Marchisio did not celebrate after scoring the goal. He was born in the Juventus youth team. No matter what, the captain of the Juventus youth team has deep feelings for Juventus, so he chose not to celebrate.

, to show respect for the old club.

Marchisio did not celebrate, but his teammates did not have so many scruples. Marchisio stood there with his hands pressed down, and then Muntari rushed over and hugged him. Then more teammates

They rushed up and surrounded them both to celebrate the goal.

Li Ang stood on the sidelines and saw the ball go in. A smile appeared on his face, and then he clapped his hands and applauded. He was hugged by his assistant, and then he calmly returned to the coaching bench and sat down. The strength of this Juventus team

It's hard to mention how excited he was.

***********

Ranieri's expression was a little solemn. The biggest problem for Juventus right now is its tough performance under adversity. When facing a strong team, once the score falls behind, it will be difficult to come back.

Ranieri knows that this is the most direct impact of the 'Calciopoli' on Juventus. The tenacious Bianconeri now need to regain their former pride and unyieldingness.

This is one of the reasons why Juventus attaches great importance to the Coppa Italia. With the league championship gradually drifting away, the Coppa Italia is the only championship honor they can compete for.

However, now, facing Inter Milan, they fell behind again. This is a huge test for Juventus!

They must make a difference in the face of adversity!

When the players of Inter Milan celebrated the goal, Ranieri called Juventus captain Del Piero to the sidelines for a face-to-face discussion.

In the stands of the Meazza Stadium, Juventus manager Marotta looked gloomy, dissatisfied with the team's current situation of falling behind 0-1.

Then, his eyes were fixed on Marchisio who scored the goal.

This is Juventus’s lost treasure!

Marotta's eyes flickered...

***********

Huge boos rang out from the stands of Meazza Stadium, and the boos were loud in the sky above the huge stadium.

There is no need to say more about the feud between Inter Milan and Juventus. The reason why the home fans let out huge boos is Nedved.

He had just knocked over Aguero who was dribbling the ball at high speed during a defense.

This is a beautiful offensive cooperation by Inter Milan. Marchisio transfers the ball laterally, Mata passes the ball without stopping, and Aguero moves forward at high speed and drives the ball forward.

Nedvěd knew that the conventional defense could no longer stop the Argentinian, so he came up and directly bumped into him from the side.

Just like a car speeding at high speed, it was suddenly hit and Aguero flew out directly: Aguero fell directly to the ground and rolled several times on the ground at the same time. It looked very scary, but precisely because

The cushioning of rolling prevents injuries.

Li Ang suddenly stood up from his seat and waved his arms angrily.

The reason for his anger was the same as that of the Inter Milan fans in the stands. The referee only gave Nedved a verbal warning and did not show a yellow card.

"Mr. Li Ang, please control your emotions." the fourth official warned the emotional Inter Milan coach.

"My mood? I'm very calm!" Li Ang sneered, "Such a serious foul directly stopped our attack, but it was just a warning! You tell me to calm down!!!"

When the fourth official was about to call the referee with a dark face, Li Ang had already snorted and walked away. He is not stupid, and he will not be so straightforward with the referee now. After two or three years of accumulation, he has become more and more interested in Serie A.

I understand the 'style' of league referees very well, and they are no longer the upright boys they were back then.

"The referee is blind and is indulging in the old Czech guy!" Li Ang muttered as he returned to the coaching bench, away from the 'monitoring' of the fourth official.

From a fan's perspective, Li Ang somewhat likes Nedved, a tough guy, but as an opponent's head coach, he hates Nedved with a passion.

One Nedved is nothing to fear.

Li Ang is worried that Nedved's tough style will stimulate other Juventus players and encourage Juventus to fight hard.

In this game, Li Ang's goal is not only to win at home and lay the foundation for advancement to the second leg of the quarter-finals, but also to avoid injuries as much as possible. Unlike Juventus, who only have the Coppa Italia champion to compete for.

, Inter Milan wants to fight on three fronts and must ensure the health of the players and the integrity of the lineup to the greatest extent.

And Li Ang has been keenly aware that after Juventus lost a goal, Ranieri's team style suddenly became tougher. Juventus did not rush to equalize the score, but instead focused on defense, obviously to avoid losing the second goal.

ball.

I have to admit that Ranieri's choice was right. Facing Inter Milan, which had just scored a goal and was gaining momentum, this was the most prudent strategy.

‘Tinker’ Ranieri still has two brushes.

***********

Thirty-nine minutes into the game, the score was still 1-0, with Inter Milan leading by one goal at home.

Muntari's long shot was saved beautifully by Buffon, and Inter Milan got a corner kick!

Mata took a corner kick, Milito headed the ball too high, Buffon knocked the ball out of the air, Chiellini then headed the ball out of the penalty area.

The second spot was taken by Inter Milan.

Mata spiked the ball, avoiding Nocerino, and then directly pushed the football horizontally.
