Chapter 1212 Battle of the Top Leaders (4)

PS1: Today's update is here. I hope that all book friends don't care too much about the update time. I will guarantee that I will not stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

Although he was scored by Fiorentina away, Inter Milan's players did not feel panic on the court because of this goal. Under the leadership of captain Zanetti, Inter Milan focused on maintaining stability for the rest of the first half, no matter what flaws the opponent deliberately exposed,

"You guys, you played very well in the first half. Although we only scored one goal, we can't blame you. After all, in the past forty-five minutes, we hit three posts and two crossbars in total. In this case, it is already a great achievement to be able to get a lead of one goal. What's more, you've managed to suppress your opponents in the first half, so as long as you continue to perform like this in the next time, the victory of the game will definitely belong to us."

"Boss, don't say that." As Heinx finished speaking, Nesta stood up. As the captain of Fiorentina, he must summarize the team's performance in the first half at this time, and at the same time keep these teammates alert to their opponents to avoid appearing in the second half. "Don't forget that Inter Milan was suppressed by us in the first half, largely because the opponent made a mistake in the arrangement of the lineup. Not only did he take Kili Gonzalez, who was in a state, as the starter, but also let Abidal, who was not good at assisting, destroy his left off attack, which gave us a chance to gain such a big advantage in the first half. However, I think Cooper, who realized that the wrong person would make substitution adjustments in the midfield to regain the disadvantage in the first half."

"Nesta is very good, no wonder Stefan (Effenberg) decided to take over as captain before retiring. Now it seems that Nesta is indeed very suitable for the captain." When Nesta saw Nesta take the initiative to stand up and speak up and warn players not to take Inter Milan lightly because of his temporary lead, Heinx is quite satisfied with Nesta's performance. After all, although Heinx, as the head coach, has enough prestige in the team, in many cases, such words must be more convincing. Because in this way, the players will execute more thoroughly. Therefore, when Heinx arranges tactics, he often gives captains such as Effenberg and Nesta a certain right to speak, so that they can seize the opportunity to instill these ideas in the players, so as to achieve their goals.

Sure enough, as Nesta said, after the fifteen-minute halftime break, Cooper made a substitution adjustment to Inter Milan's lineup. Kili Gonzalez, who made no achievements in the whole first half, was Keelli's Argentine compatriot, Mattias Almeida. Obviously, Cooper planned to let Emre, who was more skilled, ensure the team's attacking power on the left, and at the same time, use Almeida and the two to strengthen the midfield defense and protection of the defense line, so as not to be seized by the opponent to make a quick counterattack that made them extremely troubled.

Although Cooper's substitution adjustment did not have an immediate effect, for example, Inter Milan scored two goals shortly after the second half to overtake the score, it also successfully allowed the Nerazzurri to regain their disadvantages in the field and fought a tug-of-war with Fiorentina in the midfield.

Faced with Inter Milan's counterattack, Florence was calm. Under Nesta's command, Florence's defense was organized in an orderly manner. Most of the shells sent by Emre and Van der Mede for the front were destroyed in time by them, and they did not give Crespo and Mutu a chance to shoot!

It can be said that after Emre changed to the left, he effectively strengthened Inter Milan's offensive power on this side, forcing Fiorentina to split up some forces to strengthen the defense on the right, avoiding the situation where Zambrota was beaten by the opponent due to a disadvantage in numbers. However, Cooper's move also made the Nerazzurri lose one commander in the midfield, making Inter Milan's offensive only rely on the tacit understanding between the players on the two wings and Mutu, who played the organizer. In this way, Inter Milan's offensive organization seemed much more messy.

The reason for this problem is mainly because of Cooper's conservative approach to using people. You should know that after coaching Inter Milan, Cooper likes to accumulate a large number of defensive engineers in the midfield and hand over most of the offensive tasks to Crespo and others on the front line to solve them by themselves. This simple and crude offensive routine can certainly allow Inter Milan to defeat most teams that are not as strong as their own, but when they face teams of the same level or even better strength, such as the current Fiorentina, it has become a fatal injury to the Nerazzurri. Their serious lack of scoring ability in this strong dialogue allows the opponent to devote more energy to the offense.

Although Inter Milan has various shortcomings in its offense, they are focused on stabilizing the defense line on the defensive end, but they also make Fiorentine players trying to expand the score feel helpless. Almeida and Zanetti blocked the front of the penalty area to be airtight, destroying many Fiorentine midfield passes; Abidal and Zanetti on both sides are also defensive lines, making Fiorentine players who are trying to open a breakthrough from them again and again return to the Fiorentine players who are trying to open a breakthrough from them; although Matrazi and Cordoba, who are partnering with the central defender, are somewhat similar in defense style, but this combination of one high and one fast is also reliable.

However, when the score is behind, it is obviously far from enough to defend Fiorentina's offensive, and Inter Milan needs to have more performance on the offensive end.

Therefore, the impression left by the fans by the performance of both sides in the second half was more like a half-court offensive and defensive drill. Inter Milan, who was weak on the offensive end, kept retreating in the tug-of-war, and became a style of playing with steady defense, occasionally slapping cold hands to fight back several times; while Fiorentina, which had the advantage in the situation, gradually occupied the midfield under the command of Pirlo, staring at Inter Milan's turtle shell, looking for opportunities to whine.

The players of both sides fought wits and courage on the court, and the two head coaches on the sidelines were not easy. They not only had to make tactical adjustments based on the situation on the court, but also had to grasp the opportunity for each substitution, so that the balance of victory was closer to their side.
