Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven: Key Points of Early Offensive
After Dick made such a gesture, the Inter Milan players on the field saw it and immediately understood what Dick was thinking.
The main direction of attack now is the opponent's right back Oleg!
Since Rijkaard wants to increase the height of the defense, he must bear the consequences of increased pressure from ground attacks on this side!
In fact, it's not that Rijkaard didn't take it into consideration, but because he first believed that his team could create enough offensive pressure to prevent Inter Milan from taking advantage of this, and the second point was that on this side of Inter Milan's
The starter is Perrotta. Perrotta's forward penetration ability and ability to score in the penalty area are top-notch, but his ability to control the ball is only average. As long as Inter Milan does not successfully break through, he can still rely on blocking position.
Able to defend pretty well.
This is also the reason why Dick didn't arrange the attack like this from the beginning. He first had to see if his defensive formation could prevent Barcelona's offense from benefiting to a large extent. He had already seen it in the few offensive and defensive dialogues just now.
Well, I can’t say that my defensive lineup can give Barcelona no chance at all, but it can also prevent Barcelona’s offense from being too much of a threat to a large extent!
Now that the first problem is solved, the second one needs to be solved.
Dick cannot let Perrotta's breakthrough ability suddenly strengthen, and Perrotta will not hide his breakthrough ability for more than ten years just for this game. His way to solve this problem is very simple, that is, the two full-backs switch positions
!
Inter Milan's wide midfielders are all players who can display their abilities on both sides. Figo, Perrotta, and Stankovic are all players who can play both sides and in all three positions in the frontcourt.
players.
After his gesture, Figo and Perrotta immediately changed positions on the field. Figo came to the left and Perrotta came to the right. In this way, Oleg's pressure was immediately eliminated.
It has increased a lot.
When Figo came to the left, Inter Milan increased the number of passes to this side. Although this intention was obvious and Barcelona also paid attention to the defense on this side, Inter Milan's offense still began to become fierce.
!
In the fourteenth minute, Sneijder suddenly dribbled the ball forward after receiving the ball. Then, under the attack of Xavi and Deco, he still passed the ball beautifully diagonally to Figo. Figo stopped the ball in the air, and then quickly made a change.
The slash is about to rush past Oleg!
Although Figo is older now, his explosive power and offensive ability are still quite outstanding. The action just now was almost as good as the one in his peak period. Oleg was completely unable to react immediately.
After turning around, he saw that Figo had already occupied half of his position. In desperation, he quickly tackled Figo from the side and knocked Figo to the ground!
This foul was very smart. Figo was knocked down before Figo could completely get rid of him. Moreover, the tackle was not very big, so even if it was called, there would be no penalty.
Although the Inter Milan fans booed hugely, the referee was not affected by this. He called Oleg a foul and did not give Oleg a yellow card. He just gave Inter Milan a goal near the sideline.
Free kick.
Dick didn't yell outside the court. This penalty was actually quite correct. Although Figo looked very embarrassed when he fell out, he did not suffer any substantial damage.
"Facing such an attack, Oleg's fouls will definitely increase... If this happens, I don't believe you can continue to support it like this!" Dick sneered in his heart.
Rijkaard's brows furrowed tightly. Although Dick didn't think he was such an outstanding head coach, he still had a lot of experience in the past two years, and now he can still see
It can be seen that Inter Milan is currently attacking on this side. Even if they attack in other places, they rarely directly hit high-altitude balls, but hit the ground!
If Inter Milan plays on the ground, it obviously won't have much effect if he arranges for Oleg to play. But he can't replace Oleg now. What should he do if Inter Milan starts to play high in the air again after he replaces him?
At this time, Rijkaard couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known better, he would not have let Oleg play. If Belletti was honest, the high-altitude ball defense in the middle of the penalty area would not necessarily suffer too much, and Belletti would not suffer too much.
If Leti is on this side, he won't be too embarrassed by the opponent's breakthrough...
But it is too late to regret at this time. If a substitution is made within ten minutes of the opening, it will not only hurt the player, but also be a blow to him - this proves that he was not well prepared before the game!
While Rijkaard's mind was changing rapidly, Inter Milan began to prepare for this free kick. This free kick could not be shot directly, but it was not a troublesome thing to score a header after passing the ball. Materazzi and Cole
Doba rushed forward, and together with the two centers, these four people brought huge pressure to Barcelona's high-altitude ball defense.
However, Barcelona’s height in defending high-altitude balls is not bad now. Puyol is not tall but has excellent bounce. Marquez and Van Bommel both have pretty good heights. Together with Van Bronhorst and Oleg, they are not too disadvantaged.
.
Figo fired a beautiful curve ball, and the ball went directly to the center. Valdes, who was attacking, wanted to catch the ball, but was knocked to the ground by Materazzi. The referee's whistle sounded, and Materazzi rushed.
goalkeeper.
Inter Milan's players rushed back like a tide. Dick didn't care about the foul. Although Barcelona doesn't suffer much from set pieces now, they still suffer from collisions. In the past two years, they have suffered a lot.
The center who poses the biggest threat is Drogba, and now, we need to add Tony!
Tony ran silently on the court. He knew that most of the opponent's attention must be on Adriano. However, he also knew that the focus of Inter Milan's offense should be him now, because this is what Dick said before.
of……
If there are adjustments in the first half, then Figo and Perrotta will change positions. At the same time, the focus of Inter Milan's offense is on Toni, and even Adriano will provide assists for him!
Adriano may not have any complaints about this arrangement, but he also knows that before such a game, he must completely obey the head coach's instructions, otherwise, it will only have a huge impact on the team!
At the same time, Dick also told him that Tony was only the main target of attack in the first half, and he would still be the main target of attack in the second half, which also made Adriano less complaining.
Barcelona quickly launched a counterattack. Now their defense is under great pressure, and only by attacking can they reduce the pressure on themselves.
Deco quickly passed the ball to Harvey. Harvey did not pass the ball forward directly, but passed the ball to Van Bommel who came in from behind. Van Bommel passed the ball to Van Bronhorst who came in from the left. Van Bronhorst led the way.
The ball crossed the midfield and was passed to Ronaldinho.
Faced with Inter Milan's defensive line, which was already in place, Ronaldinho failed to break through. After taking a few steps, seeing Inter Milan's heavy troops hoarding in the penalty area, he raised his foot and passed the ball to the edge of the penalty area, inserting
Deco suddenly took a long shot before Mascherano could grab the ball!
The quality of this long-range shot of about thirty meters was also very high, but Cesar did not reveal any flaws. He dived sideways and firmly pressed the ball under his body.
"Attack!" After getting up, Cesar threw the ball hard.
The ball fell to Sneijder's feet. The Dutchman caught the ball and turned around. Before Xavi came up to defend, he raised his foot and sent a through pass to Adriano near the center circle!
When Adriano started dribbling the ball, the entire Barcelona defense also began to become nervous. After all, Adriano's performance this season is indeed top-notch, and his dribbling is also very lethal.
After all, where his body is, it would be difficult to stop him from moving forward in a normal confrontation. If you want to intercept his ball without fouling, it may be more difficult than intercepting Ronaldinho's dribbling...
When Van Bommel and Puyol came towards him from both sides at the same time, Adriano did not continue to force the ball down. Instead, before they formed a circle, he passed the ball diagonally to the left to follow up.
Figo!
After this pass came out, Inter Milan's offensive suddenly became clear!
Figo stopped the ball with the outside of his instep, moved the ball forward, and began to break through along the wing. He was moving very quickly. He knew that at this time, Barcelona's defense had not yet been able to fully return to defense. If he could break through Barcelona,
For Legg, it is very likely to be a goal!
Oleg also knew this. The breakthrough just now made Oleg completely unable to ignore the existence of this old guy. He knew that his turn was slower than the opponent's breakthrough. In this case, he should delay the opponent's attack.
…
Figo moved forward step by step with the ball, while Oleg slowly retreated, slowly delaying Figo's progress. Looking at such a cautious opponent, Figo seemed to have no choice but to slowly
go ahead……
However, when Oleg retreated close to the corner of the penalty area, Figo quickly pulled back, dodged the distance between him and Oleg, then raised his left foot and passed the ball directly.
!
Beautiful curve ball! Figo was just waiting for his teammates to come up!
The ball drew an arc and then flew directly to the penalty area. The ball arced from the air. Puyol, who was returning to defense, jumped hard and tried to intercept the ball midway. However, he was still a step slower.
It flew over his head!
After passing over Puyol's head, the ball began to fall downwards. Tony, who had already reached the position, used his body to resist Marquez. Although the Mexican defender was desperately interfering with Tony, Tony's strong body was still not affected too much.
Much influence, but still blocked Marquez behind him!
The Inter Milan fans in the stands held their breath, while the Barcelona fans started making noises loudly, hoping to influence Tony...
However, at this moment, Tony had completely entered the state of the game. No matter the shouts or boos in the stands, they could not have any impact on him. Feeling the interference of Marquez behind him, Tony watched the ball heading toward him.
Falling forward, then facing the falling ball, he raised his right foot and shot the ball directly!
With the help of the impact from behind, Tony raised his left foot and ejected directly with the outside instep of his left foot!
Close shot, perfect touch.
When Valdes rushed over, Tony had already shot the ball out. The ball flew diagonally towards the lower right corner of the goal. Before Valdes could fully extend his hand, it flew into the goal against the far post!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL——" the commentator let out a long roar, and at this moment, the Inter Milan fans went from silence to an erupting volcano!
