Chapter 621 Four-game winning streak to advance to the quarter-finals (2)
Update time:2013-04-18
2:1 is a score that makes both the leader and the laggard feel entangled!
The leader's defense is unsafe and the attack is not cost-effective. The laggard's aggressive attack is afraid of the opponent's counterattack. If it does not attack aggressively, it is difficult to knock on the opponent's goal. It can be said that no matter how you play, it is not very comfortable.
The more tangled the situation, the more it tests the coach's coaching art. At this time, Jiang Mu and Iluleta also made corresponding changes.
Jiang Mu replaced Vieri with Ronaldo and resolutely launched a defensive counterattack. Although Jiang Mu knew that the Riazor Stadium was terrifying and defense alone could not guarantee the final victory, they had Ronaldo and Robben in the frontcourt.
With players like Ronaldinho and Conceição who are good at speed and dribbling, it is almost impossible for Deportivo to avoid being counterattacked by Inter Milan when Deportivo attack aggressively.
Iluleta couldn't accept the result of losing at all. He rushed to the sidelines and yelled at the dejected players: "Attack! Keep attacking. If you don't want to be a coward, attack me!"
The fans in the stands also woke up from the blow. They sang the team song in conjunction with Iluleta's roar and encouraged the players to attack Inter Milan's position.
Deportivo played very proactively and quickly reversed the situation when Inter Milan retreated. It also restored its usual skillful ground cooperation. The passing success rate was extremely high, and the ball was always in Inter Milan's half.
However, there were not many opportunities to break into the penalty area. Inter Milan defended very tightly around the penalty area, leaving no room for Deportivo to move and cooperate. Deportivo's offense was slow to break into the opponent's position.
Threats can only be made from the outside and long shots again and again, wasting time.
Time passed minute by second, both teams needed to score again, but neither scored again, but Inter Milan, who had the advantage, had an easier time than Deportivo, and time was the rope they slowly tightened around their opponents' necks.
Looking at the 75th minute of the game, Iluleta couldn't keep calm. He signaled forward Amaviska, who had been warming up for a long time, to come on and replaced defensive midfielder Silva. Silva is not young.
The physical energy was exhausted. At this time, Deportivo needed to attack the opponent's defense. They replaced Silva and replaced him with the young Amaviska, who was just in time to fight the opponent.
Inter Milan was mentally prepared for Deportivo's counterattack, but after 75 minutes, when Deportivo pounced on them like a gambler who had lost their sights, Inter Milan's players understood why.
Riazor is a hell stadium, why can Deportivo La Coruni compete with giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona without falling behind?
Encountered a bunch of crazy dogs!
This is the most intimate feeling that Inter Milan people have for these 11 Deportivo La Coruña players on the field.
The game has reached 75 minutes, and even professional players have exhausted their physical fitness, especially in such an intense game, but Deportivo's players can fly all over the field at this time, surrounding Inter Milan.
Pressing and grabbing, Inter Milan couldn't even deliver the throw-in, let alone organize the pass.
Almost all of the ball was taken by Deportivo's players, and Inter Milan could only retreat and defend with all its strength, otherwise it would not be able to cope with the stormy attack from the opponent.
Jiang Mu saw that only defense was left in the defensive counterattack, so he had no choice but to replace Conceição and replace him with Farinos, who had played in La Liga. He continued to strengthen the defense, hoping to defend the last ten minutes.
The game has become very difficult for Inter Milan. Jiang Mudu had to change his original tactical design. This made the Inter Milan fans a little worried about gains and losses. They sat there holding their breath and watched intently.
On the field, I kept praying that the game would end soon.
Deportivo saw the hope of an equalizer, and more than 30,000 fans in the audience shouted "Go one" in unison. The sound was like a mountain and a tsunami, and the entire audience could not hear anything except the shouts of the Deportivo fans.
.
Although Deportivo's offense was extremely ferocious and reduced Inter Milan's ball possession ratio to 20 to 80, it was impossible for them not to give Inter Milan a chance, let alone them, even if they were one level stronger than them.
It is impossible for a team twice as strong to prevent Inter Milan from even touching the ball, and with their full siege, it would be fatal for Inter Milan to get a chance. Inter Milan has been waiting patiently for such an opportunity.
In the 85th minute of the game, Inter Milan finally had an opportunity. Deportivo's cross from the wing was deflected by Inter Milan's midfielder Materazzi, and the deflected ball fell into Robben's control.
Within the range, Robben was facing his own goal, but he did not have time to stop the ball and observe before passing the ball. The opponent's players pounced on him very quickly. He would be intercepted or fouled later. Robben almost turned his head to watch.
In the frontcourt, use the outside instep to lift the ball.
The pass of the ball is not bad. If it is a normal game, it would be difficult for Ronaldo in front to get the ball because the distance between the players is very close. But now there is a large blank area in the backcourt, and there is a gap between offensive players and defensive players.
The distance between them was very long. Ronaldo was fast and explosive. He got the ball off before defender Naibet. When Naibet came over to tackle, Ronaldo changed the direction of the ball and turned it around.
Naibet walked over.
The only defensive player left is Donato. If Donato cannot stop Ronaldo, Ronaldo will directly face goalkeeper Molina.
At this moment, the choice became very simple for Molina. He would rather get a red card to save the chance of equalizing than let Ronaldo score the third goal.
But Donato was thinking of Ronaldo, and of course he was unwilling to give Donato this opportunity. When there were only six or seven minutes left, the advantage of personnel could not be shown at all. Single-handed goals were Ronaldo's best
choose.
Seeing Donato running towards him without any scruples, Ronaldo gave up dribbling the ball and kicked the ball far away from the goal to prevent the goalkeeper from attacking and getting the ball. Then he accelerated and ran around Donato.
Chase the ball.
If Ronaldo walked away with the ball, it would be very easy for Donato to commit a foul. But after Ronaldo kicked the ball out, there was no longer any fetters. Donato had no way to catch Ronaldo. He chased further and further away.
When Ronaldo got the ball on one side of the penalty area, he was at least five meters away from Ronaldo.
Molina saw Ronaldo running to one side of the penalty area and felt a lot more relieved. The one-on-one ball formed on one side was easier to defend than the one in the middle, because the opponent's shooting angle became smaller. After he blocked the near corner, Ronaldo's shot angle
Very small.
But Molina was too happy too early. For a striker of Ronaldo's level, no matter where you meet him, he can kill you. The only difference is the difficulty.
Since Donato was still chasing after him, Ronaldo didn't make any complicated fake moves. He just feinted on the ball with his feet, then lifted the ball with his toes and let the ball pass over Molina's head.
In Molina's various preparations for saves, the lob shot is always the last one, because at this time, the forward has a 50% chance of winning when hitting the far corner or the near corner, but the difficulty of the lob shot is obviously a little greater.
, but Ronaldo chose the most difficult one among several options.
Molina didn't have time to jump up and reach out to hit the ball in a hurry, but he didn't hit it. The ball went over his head and fell into the back corner of the goal into the net.
3:1
Ronaldo helped Inter Milan seal the victory.
In the last period of time, Ronaldo only got such a good opportunity, and he seized it and could change the situation of the game in an instant. This is the difference between superstars and ordinary players.
The people of Inter Milan were in a state of carnival. Everyone was celebrating. There were only five minutes left. They knew that Inter Milan had already qualified from the group and reached the quarterfinals.
All Deportivo people were speechless, with a look of despair on their faces. Some people even covered their heads and lay on their seats. This was not only a defeat, but for them, this defeat also meant that they would not be able to compete in the quarterfinals.
Hopes may well be dashed.
This goal was a big blow to Deportivo, but the Deportivo people did not give up. They launched a more violent attack after that, and in the 90th minute, Tristan broke through the door of Inter Milan again. It is a pity.
They ran out of time. After that, although Deportivo continued to pursue and fight fiercely, Inter Milan remained as stable as a mountain and firmly held on to the one-goal advantage. Riazor had a near miss at 3:2 at the Devil's Stadium.
Defeated Deportivo.
As Arsenal defeated Bayer Leverkusen 4:1 at home in another game, Inter Milan, with 12 points, has qualified from the group two rounds in advance, and they have also locked in the first place in the group.
After four rounds, Inter Milan ranked first with 12 points, Arsenal ranked second with 4 points, Leverkusen and Arsenal shared 4 points, but they had a smaller goal difference and ranked third, while Deportivo La Coruni
Asia ranks last with 3 points, but they are not out yet, just because Inter Milan has already qualified. Both Leverkusen and Arsenal are likely to win against Inter Milan, so Deportivo will qualify.
Hope becomes very small.
In the subsequent matches between Group A, Group B and Group C, Real Madrid in Group C also achieved four consecutive victories and qualified. After Panathinaikos defeated Sparta Prague, they had 3 wins and 1 draw, almost locking in the qualification.
One qualifying spot.
In Group B, after Juventus defeated Barcelona 3:0 and Alkmaar drew with Liverpool, the situation became more complicated. Anyone of the four teams may qualify or be eliminated.
Bayern and Manchester United in Group A both won this round and both have 8 points. They are expected to qualify. However, after Roma and Porto lost this game, their hopes of qualifying are already slim.
Although the Champions League group stage is not a league, and having more points is of little use, Real Madrid and Inter Milan have two rounds of rest time after qualifying two rounds in advance. With the very tight schedule this season, they undoubtedly account for a lot of
