Chapter 447 Foul Tactics
"In the 45 minutes of the first half, everyone performed very well. It's just because of luck that we didn't expand the score to two goals. But don't be discouraged. I believe that after the second half, Inter Milan will definitely step up their offensive efforts. Then it will be our chance!" Flores named Albelda, Baraja and Ayala respectively.
"In the second half, don't rush to attack, but defend first. Roberto, your experience is a very valuable asset for the team, so you have to remember to help Raul fill up the position. Also, Ruben... When intercepting in the midfield, pay more attention to restricting the opponent's players who take the ball. Don't take the ball lightly. Just stand in the defensive position and wait for the support of your teammates. And... Captain, your task is the most heavy. The work of assisting defense and transitioning from defense to offense will be entrusted to you. Arrange your work..."
Albelda nodded heavily. This is Flores' affirmation of him. Whether it was in the previous Ranieri era or the previous Benitez era, there were great restrictions on his performance, but now Flores is different. He is very important to him. While completing his job, he is allowed to improvise.
Therefore, his state this season is very good, and at the same time, he also handed in the best answer sheet since his career.
After Flores finished talking about the tasks on the defensive end, he began to assign offensive players.
"David, you should pay more attention to retreating in the middle to respond. Of course, if you have the opportunity, bring the ball forward. Ai and David will respond to you. At that time, pay attention to the efficiency of the pass and the speed of the counterattack..." After a slight pause, he looked at Ai Luo.
"I believe that after the start of the second half, our opponents will definitely pay more attention to you when you switch from offense to defense, so you have to be more careful, because they want to attack without any spare power, so they will definitely take a more direct way when restricting you, and they are very likely to take extreme measures. While paying attention to protecting yourself, you must also seize the opportunity to counterattack. A one-ball lead is not safe enough!"
Ai Luo nodded half-understanding.
But he didn't fully understand what Flores meant.

away team locker room
The 11 people present have changed from the 11 people in the first half. He has made up his mind to remove Italy's magical left-back Grosso in the second half and replace him with an offensive midfielder - Figo.
But when he set up the midfield, the first thing he mentioned was defense. "We have no way out, so we can only choose to attack in the second half, but at the same time we can't ignore defense... So we can't take that much into account. When we should foul, we should foul. Don't hesitate. If we lose this game, we will lose most of the hard work of the season. Only when we win can we have a chance to advance, and history is written for the winner!!"
Although Mancini didn't make it clear, which of the players present was not a good person?How can you not understand what he said?Among them, Materazzi is the most excited, because Mancini's words are equivalent to letting him release all his passions!
……
In the 15 minutes of the midfield, most of the commentators on the scene were discussing Ai Luo's goal in the opening 10 seconds.
And the intermission of the other three UEFA Champions League 1/8 final second-leg contests at the same time was also discussing this game.
Because in the second round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena in Germany, Bayern Munich also passed a mistake by Real Madrid. In the opening 10 seconds, forward Ma Kai knocked on the door guarded by Casillas.
So surprise all the narrators.
It is not uncommon to score goals at the same time in games that kick off at the same time, but what is strange is that the goals are all blitz goals.
Finally, after careful and rigorous analysis by the computer, the goal scored by Ai Luo was 0 seconds ahead of Ma Kai's goal scored by Real Madrid.
In other words, Ai Luo's blitz goal was 10 seconds ahead of Ma Kai's 01 seconds and became the fastest goal record in the history of the UEFA Champions League!
That's quite an achievement.
On the Chinese Internet, all kinds of praises were given to Aiello, who once again left a strong mark in the history of the Champions League, because he broke the record of scoring goals in a single season of the Champions League last year, and this game broke the record for the fastest goal in the Champions League. He is simply a player born for records!
What makes them proud is that this player born for the record is their compatriot!
……
Of course, the useless performance of Inter Milan in the 45 minutes of the first half was also constantly analyzed by the commentators in the studio of the Mestalla Stadium. Let’s not talk about the score behind, and even huddled in the backcourt, which is a waste of fans and sponsors.
***
It wasn't long into the second half that Aiello figured out exactly what Flores was saying at half-time, when he was knocked down by a force behind him just as he was passing the ball back from his feet.
So Ai Luo understood in an instant, this is really too straightforward!
At the same time, it also illustrates a truth that practice is more real than theory.
This... how long does it take for the game to start?
Inter Milan invaded Valencia's half-court offense by fouling.
Shhhhhhh-
Immediately, the home team fans in the stands uttered deafening boos at Cruz who fouled.
But Cruz doesn't care, as long as it can help the team win this game, he will do it without hesitation. Football games are modern warfare. If they continue to be as weak as before, elimination is an inevitable result!
At this critical moment, only the brave who meet down the road wins!
For the referee's warning, Cruz accepted it humbly, but what to do afterwards depends on the opponent's players.
Although Cruz's foul ostensibly handed over the control of football to the home team Valencia, he won the opportunity for the team to enter the opponent's half, and he can quickly deploy the defense near the midfield.
As Inter Milan's offensive players moved forward, Valencia's backcourt players were passive in order to make a short pass to prevent the opponent Inter Milan's players from intercepting, so they could only choose to pass the ball forward with big feet, so the football changed hands quickly, and Inter Milan's players began to organize the attack.
"Julio's foul was very worthwhile. He didn't get a yellow card warning, and the opponent had to hand over the control of football to his own players. It seems that Roberto Mancini's ambition is not small..."
Many commentators were very surprised to see the wolf nature of Inter Milan in the second half.
Fortunately, Flores had an in-depth prediction of Inter Milan's possible tactics during the intermission, so he was not in a panic at the beginning of the second half.
***
Mancini has his Zhang Liangji, and Flores also has his wall ladder.
Inter Milan's frenzied organization of offense and counter-grabbing fouls immediately after losing the ball, so the Valencia players got used to the defensive strength of Inter Milan's players, and quickly adapted.
And reducing the amount of time the football spends underfoot is the best way to deal with the tactics that Inter have adopted.
Therefore, in the next period of time, Valencia's players in the midfield or midfield basically passed with one kick, and did not let the football stay under their feet for more than a second.
As a result, the Inter Milan players had no choice. Whoever made the Spanish players have very good skills, let alone the ability to pass and control.
Mancini soon realized that his side should increase the control of the midfield. Three to five minutes later, that is, in the 5th minute of the second half, Mancini decisively used the second substitution, replacing Cruz, who worked very hard, with Recoba, who has excellent ball control and passing skills.
Recoba's playing also made Inter Milan's midfielder's ability to hold the ball stronger, so it is normal to make the offense more threatening, and Recoba also has a very precise free kick, so Valencia's defenders do not dare to foul easily at the front of the penalty area.
***
As Inter Milan's offensive opportunities increased, Valencia's counterattack opportunities also increased.
In the 62nd minute, Recoba made a through ball in the middle. Ibrahimovic understood it, but Albiol's defensive prediction was very accurate. He fell to the ground and intercepted the ball. Baraja quickly passed the ball to Albelda.
Then Albelda directly made a long pass to Aiello on the left. However, Ailuo took the ball a few steps before being shoveled to the ground by Cambiasso from behind. The referee hesitated, but did not give a yellow card warning.
Two minutes later, Valencia got another chance to counterattack. Ballack broke the football at Stankovic's feet 2 meters away from his goal, and then passed the ball directly to Aiello in front of him. But what he didn't expect was that Zanetti's defense was very firm, and he directly knocked Aiello who received the ball to the ground.
The referee still didn't give the card, but only gave a warning once.
The two consecutive fouls also made the fans on the scene and Flores on the sidelines become dissatisfied.
The most dissatisfied are the fans in the stands. In their minds, Ai Luo is like a god!
In the 70th minute, Valencia once again found a good opportunity to counterattack. Ai Luo had the previous encounter, and became more careful when dribbling the ball, passing more with one kick, and also guarding against the opponent's intentional foul.
David Villa, who retreated to support the midfielder, spotted Aiello's running position and passed a through pass with a considerable amount of advance, which happened to pass between Materazzi and Cordoba.
Burdisso and Zanetti had been thrown away by Aiello's emergency stop and start earlier, so Ailuo was the most free since the beginning of the second half, but Materazzi did not give him this opportunity. His vicious eyes looked at the moment Ailuo moved the ball forward, and wanted to shovel Ailuo's ankle directly at high speed.
In order to avoid this blow, Ai Luo quickly touched the ground with the toe of his right foot and retracted after wading the football. The whole person jumped up a few centimeters nimbly and escaped. However, he was still brought to the top of his foot by the toe of Materazzi's shoe, lost his balance in the air, and rolled forward several times before losing his strength after landing.
Shhhhhhh-
beep beep beep~~~~
Along with the boos from the stands, a hasty whistle sounded from the referee's mouth.
