"This is a good opportunity for Lazio... Oops! Belletti! Crucial moment!"
"The ball was not passed well..."
The commentator couldn't wait to say it just after Belletti passed the ball.
In the eyes of these self-proclaimed professionals, Belletti's passing of the ball was terrible, absolutely terrible!
If Lazio failed to win this game in the end, then Belletti's poor cross at the critical moment must be one of the main reasons!
Maybe, there is not one of them yet...
※ ※ ※
The Inter Milan fans in front of the TV were relieved when they saw this scene.
It seems that Lazio's attack will end in vain again...
Also relieved was Mourinho on the sidelines.
It's already the 79th minute. If Lazio's attack doesn't score, the game will enter the 80th minute.
By then, the Lazio players, who have seen many opportunities being squandered, will definitely become more impatient as they play...
Everything is going according to plan.
Although there were some small twists and turns in the middle, which made people shocked, overall, it went quite smoothly.
※ ※ ※
On the court, Inter Milan's players also breathed a sigh of relief.
I feel that with a ball of this height, they will be able to clear it easily.
But within a second, they no longer thought so...
Because Belletti's goal was not what they imagined!
At first, everyone thought that Belletti's pass was not high enough and that it would be easy for the defenders to clear the ball.
But they discovered that it was far from that simple.
Because Belletti did not sprint to the baseline and then pass the ball, when he passed the ball, the back line moved backward as a whole. There was still a distance between them and the goal. There was a blank space between them.
Then Belletti made a cross.
But his ball didn't fly directly to everyone's heads, but had an arc!
This arc just bypasses the entire back line.
Between the defenders and goalkeeper Cesar.
And the most important point is, why is the height of this ball not high?
Because it's fast!
In order to pursue the speed of the cross, Belletti sacrificed height.
For high-altitude balls, the speed will be slower, so people in front of the goal can be prepared.
But this kind of half-high ball is very fast!
The defenders did not expect that the speed of the ball was much faster than they thought, and they could not hit it.
And what about goalkeeper Cesar?
He didn't dare to attack either.
On the one hand, the ball is too fast, and on the other hand, the ball has an arc. It is right between him and the defenders, but it is far away from him. He has no confidence that he can hit the ball.
If you don't hit the football...then you're in trouble!
So Cesar now finds that Belletti's seemingly broken cross has posed a problem for everyone!
Keep them from moving!
※ ※ ※
The person who appeared in the front spot was not Giroud, but Cavani.
Cambiasso, who plays as a central defender, is following him.
In terms of height, Cambiaso has no advantage at all. But he is still better.
But neither he nor Cavani has ever touched football.
Because the football is really fast, when they rush over, the football has already rubbed their scalps and flew over!
It was like a car whizzing by, leaving nothing but blowing in their hair!
"I didn't get it!" the commentator, who still didn't know the situation, shouted.
Inter Milan fans, who were also unaware of the situation, let out a burst of cheers.
※ ※ ※
The eyes of people on the field are closely following the football.
The football that crossed the front point quickly passed through the middle and reached the back point.
At this time, its height is already very low...
How low is it?
It's so low that it's no longer suitable to hold it up with your head!
Belletti's pass was really low.
Even if the defenders just now could hit the ball, they probably wouldn't dare to hit it. Why?
Because of this height and speed, they hit the football and had no time to make other head-shaking movements. They could only head the football into their own door...
But the football is so low now. If it’s not about heading the ball, who is the one in the back?
Not Balzaretti, not Modric. Not Gotze, not Cazorla.
But...high center forward Giroud!
Giroud, who is 1.94 meters tall and excellent at heading the ball, appeared at the back point.
What is he going to do?
With your feet?
Materazzi, who was following him, had already made a decision in advance - use his feet!
He leaned back and stretched his right foot forward, intending to kick the football directly!
In his opinion, the height of the ball is naturally the most convenient and natural to use with your feet.
But some people don't see it that way.
※ ※ ※
To be honest, Giroud was not stuck in the position during the competition with Materazzi.
When the two rushed towards the football, Materazzi was half a body ahead of him.
He is 1.94 meters tall and Materazzi is 1.93 meters tall.
The height of the two people is almost the same, and the natural length of their legs is also almost the same.
He was already lagging behind his opponent in terms of position, so it was naturally impossible to get the first shot with his long legs.
At this time, if you still have to shoot the football, what should you do?
Giroud chooses to use his head!
His upper body is naturally no longer than his lower body.
But there is an advantage to heading the ball... he can shoot his body out like a torpedo!
So while running, Giroud rushed forward, exerted force on his legs, and almost flew out close to the ground!
He successfully grabbed the football in front of Materazzi's feet!
Bang!
The football changed direction and flew towards the goal.
Giroud's cheek was also hit firmly by Materazzi's instep...
※ ※ ※
When Materazzi swung his foot forward and missed the football, but hit Giroud in the face, he was shocked!
Of course, it's not because he kicked Giroud, which may cause Giroud to be injured.
Not just him, the entire Olympic Stadium in Rome was chanting this word!
This is Italian for goal!
The ball went in!
The football was headed into the goal by Giroud!
"Seventy-ninth minute! Lazio completed the reversal! They lead Inter Milan 2:1!"
※ ※ ※
Chang Sheng and the people around him rushed out of the coaching bench. They raised their arms and cheered together.
Giroud got up from the ground, opened his arms and rushed towards the corner flag area.
There was an obvious shoe print on his face, but he didn't care!
After joining Lazio for so long, he has not had many chances to play. After all, he is the sixth choice on the striker. He has nothing to complain about. It is already very difficult to come to Lazio. It is like a dream. How can he expect to start?
?
But he is a forward, and like other forwards, he is eager to score goals and contribute to the team.
Now, this is his first official match goal for Lazio!
He finally proved that he was not here just to make up numbers!
He is indeed a useful part of the team!
Even though his cheeks were burning and his head was still a little dazed, he couldn't care less.
He just wanted to vent his emotions.
In such an important match between Lazio and Inter Milan, when the team and Inter Milan were in a stalemate, he was substituted. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as being called upon in a critical situation.
And he did not disappoint the boss who replaced him!
This goal might enhance his status in the team, but he didn't even think about it.
All he wanted to do was run wild and roar.
His teammates swarmed over. They wanted to celebrate the goal with him and wanted to hug her.
However, he broke away from them arbitrarily and rushed to the camera lens in the corner flag area. Then he turned around and pointed with his thumbs at Hao Mo and his name behind him.
No. 44, Giroud!
He wants the whole world to know his name!
He is not a nobody!
※ ※ ※
When everyone in Lazio celebrated the goal crazily.
Mourinho kicked the mineral water bottle away from his feet.
Damn it!
All he wants now is to curse and use foul language.
Just one minute away!
Just one minute away!
In just one minute, his team can make the opponent anxious!
It only takes one minute to implement your plan!
In just one minute, Inter Milan will be able to defeat Lazio. And he will also complete his revenge for the victory!
Just one fucking minute!
Mourinho was furious.
He even felt that this was planned by Chang Sheng. Just when he was about to reach the other side of success, he came forward to kill Inter Milan and himself mercilessly!
Of course, this is definitely impossible. Chang Sheng does not have such precise control ability. He can control time and everything about the team.
But Mourinho's mind was filled with anger at this time, and he could no longer think calmly.
He has encountered many defeats in his career, and perhaps the most painful defeat was when he was defeated by Chang Sheng in the 2004 Champions League final.
But his anger level at that time was not even one-tenth of what it is now!
He felt like he was being tricked and deceived.
This is what makes him the most angry.
Seeing the Lazio players celebrating, the anger in his heart burned even more intensely.
The Inter Milan players stood stunned on the court.
They didn't expect the ball to fly into the goal in such a way.
Cesar made a save but was unable to do anything.
It is really difficult for him to fly from the front to the back, and he has to jump over a distance of more than seven meters in one bounce...
Giroud's diving to the top was very tricky.
Even if Cesar did his best, he still wouldn't be able to recreate a century save.
Looking at the excited Lazio players, Materazzi looked even more annoyed.
He felt that he should have been more ruthless just now, maybe the opponent wouldn't be able to score the goal?
But now, no matter what I say, it's useless.
There are no ifs in football.
The score is there, Lazio leads Inter Milan 2:1, they are guaranteed to win!
There are ten minutes left on the clock, plus injury time, maybe thirteen or four minutes.
But the morale of both sides has changed.
Lazio's morale is rising rapidly, while Inter Milan's morale is falling...
Besides, this is Lazio’s home ground!
In the remaining ten minutes, can Inter Milan turn the tide?
