Jiang Mu shut up. The other Inter Milan players did not dare to say anything more. They could only silently accept the reality that the penalty kick was awarded. The team was already lagging behind so far. It would be even more dangerous if the referee was angered and received red and yellow cards.
.
The penalty kick was taken by Alaves' top scorer Moreno, who had previously scored a header.
Moreno is 1.80 meters tall and weighs 84 kilograms. He is an all-around shooter. He has good head and feet, a strong body, and a strong ability to seize opportunities. Speaking of Moreno's experience, he is also a legend, leading the La Liga scorer list.
Sheep's resume can only be described as "dismal". At the age of 15, he failed to try out for Real Madrid. When he was playing in the La Masia team, he met the well-connected Cruyff. At the age of 22, he entered the professional circle through the latter's relationship.
But after being confused in the Barcelona reserve team for a while, he was sold to a third-division team. In the same year, he was loaned to Alaves, but only scored one goal. In 1999, Alaves was promoted to Serie A, but Moreno was playing for Alaves at this time.
After the team was upgraded, the coach remembered the cheap Moreno and called him up again. In his first season in La Liga, Moreno played 37 times and scored 7 goals. In the 2000/01 season, Moreno
It broke out. He has already scored 16 goals before the league is halfway through, more than twice the total number of goals scored last year. Now it is rumored that Serie A giant AC Milan has reached a private agreement with him. After this season, Moreno will
Join the Rossoneri and become the enemy of Inter Milan.
Inter Milan's scouts also suggested Jiang Mu to grab AC Milan's prey, but Jiang Mu did not agree because Jiang Mu did not have much impression of him. He only knew that he failed in the Rossoneri and only played for one season.
So he returned to La Liga, and later he became very miserable.
Although Moreno's strength is average, he is indeed unstoppable this season. When his confidence and condition are all up, ordinary forwards can also shine like superstars.
Moreno's penalty kick was very solid. He paused slightly and then pushed hard into the lower left corner of the goal.
At this moment, Moreno is simply playing as hard as he can. The phrase "God's help" can be applied to him.
Bang!
The ball hit the goal post and flew into the net.
Moreno watched the ball hit the net, jumped up excitedly, jumped in the air, and waved his fist fiercely.
3:0!
The Alaves fans were almost crazy excited by this score. They all stood up, clenched their fists, looked ferocious, and roared desperately, venting their joy of turning around. The huge sound almost filled the Mendizorosa Stadium.
Alaves' coach Mane seemed to feel that the overall situation was decided at this time. He hugged the coach and substitutes one by one with a relaxed smile on his face. He also looked at Jiang Mu's reaction from time to time. For him, the game
It was over early, and after the first half, he made substitutions to fight back and defended the 3:0 victory.
In the VIP box, Alaves chairman Anton smiled from ear to ear. He never dreamed that he could score such a score. Even the most conservative chairman absolutely believed that Alves was invincible at this time.
Really, it is the dream of a small club like Alaves to win against Inter Milan. Such a record will definitely make them famous. Now Anton even has the fantasy of reaching the final.
Inter Milan president Moratti has not been this unhappy for a long time. He frowned and stared at the numbers on the electronic scoreboard. He couldn't believe that the 3 belonged to his opponent. His trust in Jiang Mu was restored at this time.
There is a little doubt, it seems that Jiang Mu will also make mistakes, Moratti thought with some regret, but he thought that Jiang Mu should be given time, after all, Jiang Mu is the most impressive coach he has ever seen.
Three goals were conceded in less than 30 minutes. Such a situation had never happened even when Lippi and Tardelli were in office. Inter Milan commentator and die-hard fan Scarpini was very disappointed. He didn't even
Know how to evaluate Inter Milan's performance at the moment.
"...This is not a gap in strength, nor is this a tactical failure. This is not a problem of state, but a problem of attitude. Inter Milan underestimated the enemy and became proud, so such a magical scene occurred.
Inter Milan and Jiang Mu adhere to the consistent principle of not taking the usual path. Even if they lose, they must produce a trick. Falling behind 0:3 in 30 minutes, what else do we expect next? Score a face-saving goal.
Or two goals to equalize the score? A super reversal? All this is in the hands of Inter Milan and Jiang Mu. At least the fans are almost desperate now. If Mr. Tardelli coaches, it will probably be a classic 6
The ball was defeated. If it was the highly respected Lippi, the result would undoubtedly be a small loss of 1:3, but because of Jiang Mu, the fans still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts, because he is a magical coach..."
Everyone thought Jiang Mu would make adjustments to the starting lineup, because Jiang Mu has always been known for his bold and eclectic substitutions.
However, today Jiang Mu had no intention of substituting. Apart from giving a few words to captain Zanetti, he stood on the sidelines like a sculpture, with his body standing unyielding like a javelin, as if he was insisting on something.
The first half is not over yet, right? There is still a home game, right? Even if we lose, so what, we have won five games in a row!
After conceding three goals in a row, Inter Milan's players almost collapsed. Jiang Mu asked captain Zanetti to pass the words to the players, and Jiang Mu's calmness standing on the sidelines were like a reassurance, making the players gradually calm down. Delighted
The crazy Alaves slowed down the pace of pressing and attacking at this time, which also gave Inter Milan a chance to breathe.
At this time, Brocchi, arranged by Jiang Mu, began to play an interception role. He and Di Bianho teamed up to block Alaves' center.
Last season, Alaves's style of play was to stick to 70 minutes, and use Moreno's speed and physical strength to rush into the battle in the last 20 minutes. This season, Moreno has become the main center. If Alaves' goals last season were often at the end of the line,
In the first 20 minutes of the game, the goals this season tend to be in the 20 minutes after the opening. The most sharp thing about Alaves is the penetration of Moreno and Cruyff in the middle. Bu Luji and Di Bianho blocked it
Once outside the penalty area, the two sharpest swords of Moreno and Cruyff lost their edge.
On the left, Zanetti blocked the opponent's offensive with unremitting running. After signing the contract, Recoba, who had a stable mentality, retreated to the attacking midfielder position, while Seedorf helped defend Simic on the right. Inter Milan
The whole team worked together and finally stabilized the situation. Although there were not many offenses, they did not concede any more goals for at least ten minutes.
Forty minutes passed in a blink of an eye. Inter Milan, which had stabilized, began to organize a counterattack. The players began to move forward, forcing the opponent's two centers, Moreno and Alonso, to leave the penalty area.
Jiang Mu also felt that the time was ripe for a counterattack at this moment. He decisively replaced the defensive Brocchi and replaced him with the veteran Zamorano, switching to a three-forward position.
This was a very decisive substitution, and the timing of the substitution was also very accurate and in place.
Although Zamorano is very old, he runs very actively. After coming up, he clearly conveyed Jiang Mu's intention to his teammates. Inter Milan's counterattack horn started to be officially sounded from Zamorano.
However, the commentator Scarpini did not fully understand Jiang Mu's intention at this moment. He thought Jiang Mu was correcting his mistake.
"Brocchi shouldn't have started at all. His appearance on the field did not have any effect on the defense, but conceded more goals. But now that Inter Milan's defense has just stabilized, Jiang Mu is eager to correct his mistakes and replaces Bu
Does Rocky need careful discussion?"
Scarpini obviously thought too much. After stabilizing, Inter Milan quickly took control of the midfield. The striker's pressing in the frontcourt also affected the quality of Alaves' ball. The whole battle began to improve little by little.
The direction is changing in favor of Inter Milan.
At this moment, Alaves coach Mane is obviously still like a frog in warm water. He feels the heat of the water, but does not realize how big the danger is. He sees that the team is struggling to control the midfield and the pressure on the defense is increasing.
, he made another wrong choice, asking the players to give up the fight for the midfield and recycle to counterattack.
Inter Milan is an emotional team, just like its boss Moratti, because before Jiang Mu coached, Inter Milan had only one real soul, and that was Moratti. Moratti's spirit has been affecting the ball.
Team. Jiang Mu has not completely changed this team after taking charge, and the players are still emotional.
But sometimes emotions can play a positive role. Just like now, after the opponent shrinks and counterattacks, Inter Milan's mood immediately rises. They attack more fiercely, and their confidence gradually increases in the first five games.
's reply.
In the 41st minute of the game, Recobala passed the full-back and made a pass. Vieri rushed into the penalty area and headed the ball towards the goal, but the ball missed the goal post.
Two minutes later, Seedorf sent a diagonal pass near the penalty area. Zamorano took a long shot near the ribs of the penalty area and the ball bounced off the goal post.
The most regrettable thing is that in the injury time of the first half, Pirlo had already reached within 30 meters of Alaves' penalty area. He, Seedorf, and Recoba continued to make clever cooperation near the penalty area.
, and finally the ball was pulled by Pirlo to the left side of the penalty area and passed diagonally. Vieri once again forced his way into the opponent's defender circle and headed the ball towards the goal. The ball hit the opposite side of Alaves' goalkeeper.
Herrera, the talented goalkeeper, reacted very quickly, but it was already too late when he rushed to save the ball.
But at this time, the goalpost helped Alaves again. The ball hit the goalpost again and flew out. Inter Milan did not even get a corner kick.
Then Alaves goalkeeper Herrera took a goal kick. Before the ball hit the ground, referee Yars blew the whistle to end the first half. The score was still 3:0, but in the last few minutes, Inter Milan
The state shown by the players gave Alaves fans a hint of worry.
