However, no matter how strong the defense is, there will always be loopholes under the opponent's extremely fierce attack - Inter Milan's defense is based on shrinking defense. This approach will certainly give the back line enough manpower, but But it can also easily make the opponent's attack become more unscrupulous!
Although they persisted tenaciously for 40 minutes, after entering the 43rd minute, Atletico Madrid's top scorer Jardel seized a valuable opportunity.
Vicente's forced breakthrough on the left created a corner kick. Belleron stood at the corner kick point. Jardel was naturally the target of the opponent's focus. However, his height allowed only one person on Inter Milan's defense to keep track of him. He is Blanco, the former captain of the French national team. However, in the previous confrontation, although Blanco successfully targeted Jardel, his physical fitness and confrontation ability were rapidly declining.
Precisely because of seeing this, Belleron's corner kick was obviously aimed directly at Jardel!
Jardel and Blanco rushed to the landing point at the same time, but Jardel relied on his own strength to seize the favorable position at the front point, and jumped high to face the falling ball!
Although Blanc also jumped up, he was unable to stop Jardel from completing the header - the ball pushed out by Jardel quickly flew to the front of the goal. Although Frey made a save. , but still one step away from touching the ball!
When the net was shaken violently by the ball hit by Jardel, the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands began to cheer loudly - they had been waiting for this opportunity to cheer for forty-three minutes. !
Dick on the sidelines also let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he scored before the end of the first half. Otherwise, if such a fierce attack failed to score, it would also be very damaging to morale - Jardel is still very good. Although he didn't score a goal in two rounds of league games, he found the feeling of scoring goals again in this game!
Such a shooter who can score goals is indeed very important to the entire team.
Atletico Madrid's players were also celebrating crazily. They knew that as long as they took the lead, there wouldn't be much of a problem. Inter Milan would be forced to attack in the second half, and they would be able to get more scoring opportunities. .
All the Atletico Madrid players have overlooked one point. Although it is already forty-three minutes, the first half is not over yet. Inter Milan is not without a chance. Although they were exhausted in defense before, the two top players The forwards did not consume anything, they were also waiting for the opportunity
Dick ignored the psychological changes of the players. He still underestimated Inter Milan. This was also a kind of disadvantage caused by later memory, because he knew that Inter Milan was very difficult this season, so he subconsciously underestimated it. They have forgotten that Inter Milan is still a top powerhouse, and they still have a few stars in the team who are very dangerous when they break out.
??For example, Vieri, and another exampleRecoba.
After the game restarted, Inter Milan began to move back and forth in the midfield, while Atletico Madrid players began to press in the midfield. They wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to score another goal, so their advantage in the second half It gets bigger - after finally scoring, they start to feel like scoring another goal won't be that difficult.
The Atletico Madrid players pressed very hard, making Inter Milan's passing a little difficult. This made their pressing begin to press harder. Unknowingly, they left a huge gap in the backcourt
Baraja¡¯s flying tackle almost intercepted Farinos¡¯ pass. Just when he felt a little regretful, Seedorf received the ball in a more dangerous place
Thuram still remained alert enough. When he observed that Seedorf was able to send a beautiful through ball and Recoba had begun to advance forward, he knew that he could not directly prevent the completion of this attack. Lahm decisively directed the back line to move forward to avoid offside. However, at this time, the young Marchena made a mistake. His press seemed a little slow
Seedorf¡¯s direct pass passed Atletico Madrid¡¯s defense, and Recoba stepped in at the right time!
Thuram raised his hand to indicate that Recoba was offside. However, when he saw the linesman who did not raise the flag but followed Recoba running forward and Marchena who was slightly delayed, he knew that this was the case. It's a little dangerous!
Thuram began to quickly return to defense, but after all, he was a step too slow. Recoba was also quite fast. He quickly received Seedorf's pass and then started to go straight in!
??For a forward with excellent skills like Recoba, such a single knife isThe simpler one - he didn't give Thuram a chance to catch up with him. Recoba quickly dribbled the ball into the penalty area and faced the attacking Molina. He made a clever lob and the ball flew over Molina's head. , and then flew into Atletico Madrid¡¯s goal!
In the stoppage time of the first half, Inter Milan quickly equalized the score through a beautiful counterattack!
The excitement of Atletico Madrid fans only lasted three minutes!
When Recoba started running on the court, the entire Calderon Stadium fell silent, leaving only the cheers of more than a thousand Inter Milan fans who came from afar - in such a passive situation in the first half , they still equalized the score, which made all Inter Milan fans extremely happy!
"What a hell!"
Dick waved his hand fiercely, extremely annoyed at this lost ball.
He didn't blame Marchena. After all, if you want to use such a young player, you have to bear such a price. What annoyed him was the timing of conceding the goal - he conceded a goal not long after taking the lead. It was really annoying. So depressing!
When Atletico Madrid players were preparing to kick off, Dick had already left the coaching bench first and walked into the player tunnel at the lead.
"Dick left the field early before the referee blew the whistle to end the first half! It seemed that he was very, very annoyed This seemed to be a normal thing. After all, the goal Atletico Madrid conceded made people feel too Depressed Dick is a person who doesn't mind expressing his irritation. I don't know what he will do in the locker room. Will he yell at the players like Ferguson? It's a pity that we can't know the Atletico Madrid locker room. What kind of situation will it be here"
In the commentator's ridicule, Atletico Madrid had just kicked off and the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. Inter Milan's goal originally occurred in stoppage time, and it would have been a waste not to end it immediately. Something that feels weird.
This time, Atletico Madrid players were not too scared to enter the locker room like last time. Instead, they asked Torres to explore the way because they were also very angry about the ball. Even if Dick yelled at them, they felt it was right. matter¡¡
At the same time, they also have a bit of luck - maybe Dick will not get angry at all like last time, but consider the countermeasures for the second half in advance
"Unfortunately, they guessed wrong.
After entering the locker room, Dick's face was so gloomy that the temperature in the locker room seemed to have dropped several degrees. Seeing Dick's face, the Atletico Madrid players knew that they had guessed wrong. One by one, they Bite the bullet and walk into the locker room, and then prepare to face the baptism of the storm.
Sure enough, when Torres, the last one to come in, closed the door with his backhand, Dick's roar came to mind in the locker room.
"Damn it! Such a conceding goal is so disgusting! We attacked for forty-three minutes and finally scored a goal, but because of a moment of negligence, our efforts were wiped out by the opponent! This kind of bastard thing is absolutely unacceptable to me. Absolutely unbearable! Do you understand? Absolutely, absolutely unbearable! Yes, we failed to take the offside, which was Carlos's mistake, but how did we let Seedorf do it easily? How did he get the ball so easily? Just scored a goal! Are you starting to feel elated? You know we are only in the top 16 of the UEFA Cup! We are still four, five, six, seven steps away from the championship! We have just reached the top of the La Liga standings, and we haven¡¯t won the championship yet! Are you starting to look down on your opponents? Do you think you are already an honorable player? Come on, let¡¯s talk about your proud club results! Is it the top 16 in the UEFA Cup or the 13th in La Liga? What the hell is that worth? Proud? We look down on Inter Milan? They are one of the three strongest teams in Italy! We have less than double digits in the UEFA Cup! What right does a strong team have to look down on others? I said after the winter break that we are not a very strong team. Our strength is outstanding, but compared with most of the giants, ours is The strength is not strong enough to form a suppressive situation! We have to try our best in every game so that we can laugh better after the season! You have done well before, especially in the last round of the league. We maintained a good concentration from the beginning to the end of the game, which made me feel happy and felt that we could get something this season. But just after we reached the first place in the standings, you showed up like this. The situation, you guys, makes me very disappointed, very very disappointed.¡±
Dick¡¯s tirade made all Atletico Madrid players look a little ashamed on their faces - he??It was indeed a bit arrogant. Although they maintained an excellent state and continuous offensive ability when they were not leading, however, after taking the lead, it was as if all the tasks had been completed, and they completely forgot that the game was not over yet. The first half of the game is not over yet, at least the whistle has not sounded yet!
"Now that you know what's wrong with this, I won't say anything more Use offense to kill them in the second half! Our offense in the first half was not ineffective, at least their defense has been almost dragged down by us. Yes, as long as we attack, it will definitely have a good effect, do you understand?"
Dick knew that continuing to scold would only lower the morale of the players, so he stopped in time, and then slowed down his tone and began to explain the tactics: "Their central defender has tried his best to deal with Jardel. , we need to use two more wings. What we need is containment on the side guarded by Zanetti, and on this side Belen, Mauro, you must increase the number of attacks in the second half, hit their left, and let They have more flaws on this side Their defensive actions are not small. You have to understand that this is our home court, let them foul more! This can also accumulate the advantage in the second round and combine the two games. Play it like a game, understand?¡±
