The Day I Played with Ronaldo

During the intermission, Mancini praised the team. After the praise, he himself fell into deep thought.

Now the team is actually playing 3 forwards, but since the team is leading, it stands to reason that the defense should be strengthened.

Of course, Ricardo and Adriano can also be allowed to return to defense more, but the defensive level of these two people is really not flattering.

After thinking about it again and again, Mancini still didn't make a substitution, but let Ricardo retreat to play the left midfielder, and Stankovic acted as the right midfielder.

At the beginning of the second half, Mancini was forced to use up a substitution. Favalli was injured, Zemalia came off the bench to play right back, and captain Zanetti went to play left back.

It seemed that every time Zanetti went to the left, nothing good happened.

In the 52nd minute, Zambrotta transferred a long pass from the left. After stopping the ball in the chest, Camoranesi leaned on Davis, took a horizontal step and turned around. Davis did not have the demeanor of the rampant "wild boar" in the 98 World Cup, and was easily passed.

After Camoranesi made a breakthrough, he quickly went straight with his right foot. Nedved had already burst to the front of the penalty area. goal. However, by coincidence, Sarajeta appeared on the flight path of the football. The football hit Sarajeta's leg and refracted. After rubbing on the turf, it got into the near corner of the goal.

"Sarajeta goal! It was a passive goal, Nedved's long shot hit his leg and changed direction and flew into the goal. Juventus equalized the score! This goal was a ball of luck, but also The efforts made by Juventus cannot be ignored."

Inter Milan was obviously not convinced by such a goal to equalize the score. They quickly ramped up their attack, with Ricardo back on the left wing again and Stankovic back in the middle.

In the 53rd minute, Cambiasso received a horizontal knock from Ricardo in front of the goal and shot with his left foot, but the kick was too straight and the football was confiscated by Buffon.

In the 55th minute, Mikhailovich took a corner kick on the left, Cordoba headed ahead and scored the goal, and the football slid out.

In the 57th minute, Riccardo broke through and was brought down by Camoranesi who returned to the defense. Camoranesi received a yellow card. Mikhailovich took the free kick 31 meters away from the goal. His free kick was very tricky, but it was punched by Buffon.

The continuous mad attack was fruitless. Under the command of Mancini, Inter Milan continued to aggressively press the attack, and the defense began to strain.

In the 64th minute, Juventus hit Inter Milan's goal through a series of cooperation. Ibrahimovic's low shot with his left foot from 16 meters in front of the goal was confiscated by Toldo.

In the 65th minute, Thuram made a clearance at the front of his penalty area. Ibrahimovic responded on the right sideline of the front field. Under the pressure of Cordoba, he chose to knock back. At this time, Inter Milan's defense was in chaos. The three defenders gathered on the same side. Camoranesi saw the flaw and immediately passed the ball diagonally to the center with his right foot. Sarajeta succeeded in countering offside and broke into the penalty area single-handedly. Tripped after dunking Toldo.

"Sarajeta single-handedly! Toldo chose to trip him in desperation. Penalty, no doubt penalty! The referee showed Toldo a yellow card. This is mercy, this kind of It's normal for the ball to be given a red card."

Zlatan Ibrahimovic took the penalty. He confidently crossed his hips, glanced at Toldo coldly, and after a run-up, pushed with his right foot to the lower right corner. Although Toldo judged the right direction, the ball still entered the net from his armpit. Juventus reversed 2-1.

Inter Milan seems to be on the verge of death. Mancini made a desperate choice at this time. He replaced Davis, who was underperforming, with Vieri and played a 4-forward tactic.

Soon, he replaced Adriano with Recoba,

In this way, Ricardo and Recoba separated to the left and right, focusing on playing for Ronaldo and Vieri.

Adriano looked unhappy when he was substituted, but Mancini had no time to soothe him.

In the 78th minute, the two players who came off the bench cooperated. Recoba dribbled the ball from the center line for more than 20 meters. Under the blockade of the opponent, he cleverly passed it to the left with his left foot. Vieri rushed to the football like a tank in the penalty area. drop point. He seemed to be blocked by Thuram, but he didn't make any adjustments. From 12 meters from the goal, he used a half-volley with his left foot.

"Vieri goal! This is a super goal. Vieri showed his killer instinct and scored this difficult goal! Inter Milan equalized the score and the score is now 2:2."

Mancini clenched his fist and his adventure succeeded.

Capello shook his head. As soon as you fall behind, you will play 4 strikers... Mancini is really not a technical coach, but luck is too good...

Inter Milan, which has resorted to a 4-forward tactic, has no way out. Even if they want to defend, they can't defend. They can only continue to attack and press down on the attack.

In the 81st minute, Recoba made a diagonal pass from the right, and Vieri's header from the corner of the small penalty area was confiscated by Buffon. In the 83rd minute, Ricardo fought for the top in the penalty area and fell to the ground. There was an uproar in the stands, but Inter Milan failed to get a penalty. Ricardo was not in the mood to argue with the referee, although he knew that Thuram had made a small move just now, but there is no need to waste time at this time. He quickly continued to throw himself into the game.

Capello quickly replaced Camoranesi with Pesotto and replaced an attacking player with a defensive player. He wanted to hold a draw and continue to maintain his lead against Inter Milan in the standings leading edge.

However, a minute later, Mihajlovic played a long pass from the backcourt for Inter Milan. Vieri scored the ball from the center and gave it to the left. Ricardo took the ball and made a pass, and Ronaldo also started to run. position, diverting the attention of Cannavaro and Thuram.

Ricardo quickly smashed the ball, passed Zebina, and was about to break into the penalty area. Since Cannavaro and Thuram have been attracted by Ronaldo, he will directly face goalkeeper Buffon. In desperation, Zebina kicked Licardo down from behind.

This foul was so obvious that the referee Rodomonti could not turn a blind eye even if he wanted to favor Juventus, so he could only blow his whistle and then gave Zebina a yellow card.

Two yellows turned one red, Zebina was sent off!

There were deafening boos from the stands as Zebia walked off the field like a hero as he disrupted a high-threat attack. Capello patted him on the shoulder to show comfort and encouragement.

Mikhailovich ran over, held the ball and put it away, ready to take the free kick.

"I'll take the penalty." Ronaldo walked over.

As the boss of the team, even if Mikhailovich is Mancini's direct descendant, he still has to stay away. "OK, you come." Mikhailovich backed away.
