Chapter 1163 Sprint (4)
PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~
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.
"Hey, guys, you all heard the enthusiastic cheers of the fans in the stands?" Cooper was doing the final pre-match mobilization in the home team's locker room. "Maybe our record is far less dazzling than Fiorentina, nor have rich experience in the Champions League game like them (Note: At this time, Matrazi blinked at Tordo, but Cooper glared back hard). But please remember that football games cannot simply compare who has more experience in the competition. If you can decide the outcome by relying solely on these things, what else should we do in the game? Isn't it over to directly compare which side has more experience?"
Cooper can be said to attach great importance to this game. After all, this is his third time leading the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League, which is only one step away from the final. He does not want to fall in this place again, pick up the Big Ear Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of European clubs, and join the ranks of top European coaches. (Note: Due to Fiorentina's relationship, Cooper in this life only led the team to the Champions League final once during his coaching in Valencia, and the other time stopped in the semi-finals.)
The reason why Cooper in his previous life quickly disappeared from the top coaches after being fired by Inter Milan is, on the one hand, because his coaching style is not so likable, and most wealthy families are unwilling to let such a conservative head coach harm their team; on the other hand, because his experience of passing the championship trophy for many years has greatly hit Cooper's confidence and has also lost the motivation to continue moving forward, so he chose to return to Mallorca to coach after leaving Inter Milan and quickly faded out of people's vision.
Now, after leading Inter Milan to win a long-lost league championship trophy last season, breaking the halo of the "millennial second" shrouded in his head, Cooper has new ambitions and goals, as well as motivation to continue moving forward.
So, in this game, Cooper, who was determined to win a home game, set off his best 4-4-2 defensive counterattack formation. The goalkeeper was Francisco Toldo, with the two full-backs being Coco and Cordoba, Cannavaro and Matrazi as the starting center back; in the midfield, Dibiagio and Zanetti formed a double midfielder, Turkey international Emre moved to the left, and Zanetti was pushed to the right forward position; as for the starting front line, Cooper chose the combination of Crespo and Mutu without hesitation, and Recoba, who holds the world's first annual salary, sat on the bench waiting for the arrangement.
After talking about Inter Milan's lineup, let's take a look at Fiorentina's starting eleven players. Since he has had many confrontations with Valencia and Inter Milan led by Cooper in the past few seasons, Heinx has a very in-depth understanding of Cooper's coaching style and personality. Therefore, the German coach, who concluded that the opponent would definitely adopt a defensive counterattack tactic in this game, decisively chose the same style of play as his opponent.
So Heinx decisively sent a starting lineup composed of eleven players including Buffon, Robert Carlos, Stam, Nesta, Zambrota, Marklele, Barack, Pirlo, Vincent, Dinatale and Vieri, and prepared to compete with Cooper tonight for patience.
Anyone who has watched football games knows that the most attractive thing about the defensive counterattack tactics is the moment when the defense successfully intercepts the ball and launches a counterattack. Therefore, the game is often very good when the opponent of this team is an offensive team. But if both teams fight defensive counterattacks on the court, then the dullness of the game can naturally be imagined...
"Ha~ It's so boring, Antonio." In a high-end VIP room at Meacha Stadium, Groz yawned a big yawning sleepyly, not caring about the so-called lady's image, and muttering boredly, "If you continue to play at this pace, it's probably a zero-to-zero game."
"Hey, I said Rebecca, this is the Meacha Stadium, not at our home, so you should pay attention to your image." Looking at Little Groz who didn't care about his image at all, Zhuang Mingge pulled his lips and said, "If the media of good things were photographed, they might not have any news tomorrow."
"Hey hey, I will pay attention next time." Little Groz, who realized that the occasion was wrong, tilted his head and showed off his cuteness to Zhuang Mingge, and said, "But, then again, coach Heinx wouldn't really want to spend the game with Inter until the end of the game, right?"
"Well, this is very likely." Zhuang Mingge nodded, affirming Groz's speculation, "Everyone knows that no matter whether the opponent is strong or weak, Cooper will never change his defensive counterattack tactics. With this determination, coach Heinx must first ensure that Inter Milan cannot win at home. After all, if Inter Milan wins a victory in the first leg, then what awaits us in the second leg of the Frankie Stadium will be more inhumane and strict defense."
"So that's how it is." After hearing Zhuang Mingge's explanation, Groz nodded in a clear way. "That's right, Cooper's defense is really annoying. If he really wins at home, then our game in the second leg will definitely become more difficult."
At the same time, Cooper, who was standing on the sidelines to command the game, was depressed and wanted to vomit blood. He never expected that Heinx would be like this, and he actually adopted the same tactical arrangement in this game as they did - was he so confident to win a victory at home?
On the other side of the field, Heinx looked calm and had no intention of changing the game strategy. As long as Inter Milan could not win the game as he wished, his goal would be achieved. The Germans had never considered winning the game in Meacha from the beginning.
Although Heinquez did come to the game with the idea of getting a draw, the Fiorentine players on the court really gave the German a surprise. In the 34th minute, Dibiagio's cross pass to Emre was intercepted by Dinatale, and was transferred to Vincent on the left side through Pirlo. The latter flexibly got rid of Cordoba's marking and then dribbled into Inter Milan's penalty area. After attracting the attention of Cannavaro and Toldo, he passed back to the middle, and assisted Vieri who was circulating to score, 1-0!
If Crespo hadn't been in danger at the last moment and turned an opportunity that was not an opportunity into a goal, Fiorentina would have really taken away a victory.
Chapter completed!
