Li Ang and Inter Milan were not the only ones who thought that Zebina would be Juventus' weakness. The Turin people also seemed to be quite worried about it.
Turin Sport expressed their concern that they hoped Zebina could give a wonderful performance in this game. Otherwise, Juventus' right flank would be in danger.
In this regard, the player himself stood up and made a strong statement: You will see a different Zebina in this game!
November 4, 2007, Turin, Stadio Alpi.
The away game between Inter Milan and Juventus had been going on for more than ten minutes.
"Ranieri is still a little too conservative. When the game started, Juventus gave up the initiative. Now, Inter Milan basically has the initiative on the field. Juventus may want to play a solid defensive counterattack. This tactic may be effective against other teams, but Li Ang's team is also good at defensive counterattack. How can he let Ranieri's tactic succeed?" Ferrari said.
"Most importantly, I don't think Juventus can hold on," Rossi said. He looked from the commentator's seat to the field. Inter Milan's new round of offensive was coming.
"Zebina goes forward to defend against Modric … Beautiful!" Ferrari shouted excitedly.
The moment Zebina pounced on Modrich, Modrich gently tapped his foot on the ground. Not only did this trick trick Zebina, but it also greatly improved his surroundings, allowing Modrich to obtain the space he needed.
Juventus' defensive efforts immediately went up in smoke.
Then, Modric turned around, pulled the football back, and passed the football to Mai Kong behind him.
*****
It did not matter that Zebina pounced on nothing. More importantly, after Nocerino was led away by Silva's running position, Zebina lost his defense. The Juventus team's backfield was disconnected, and there was a wide empty space in the middle!
"Modric's beautiful tap and subsequent pass directly caused a big gap to appear in Juventus' seemingly solid defensive line!"
The Juventus players fully implemented Li Ang's tactical intentions and attacked Zebina's position. He knew that Juventus would also judge his tactical intentions, but what could they do?
This was where Juventus' weakness lay!
Mai Kong did not waste any time and directly passed the football to Mata, who had already rushed to the front.
Mata got the ball, made a feint, and then directly passed the ball to Silva.
"Inter Milan is advancing very quickly!"
When David Silva stopped the ball, there were only three Juventus defenders in front of him. Inter Milan's two strikers and Mata, who had just completed the pass, had already rushed to the front of the penalty area.
Modric also pressed forward.
Only Carlos was still firmly guarding near the midfield, ready to curb Juventus' possible counterattack opportunities at any time.
*****
In this match, Li Ang's tactics were very clear. He would use offense to crush Juventus, and the breakthrough point he chose was Zebina!
David Silva did not stop after receiving the ball. Instead, he passed the ball out horizontally. Agüero, who had retreated, received the ball and then passed it to Mata.
Just now, Juventus' left back, Grygera, rushed up and was ready to participate in the team's counterattack. At this time, he was still running back to defend.
As for Zebina?
After he was played by Modric, he was also running back to defend.
Mata did not hold back. After receiving the ball, he directly cut inside and plugged into the penalty area!
Juventus' center back combination was Legrottaglie and Chiellini, an experienced veteran and a young defender. It looked good, but it was very difficult for the old Legrottaglie and the young and inexperienced Chiellini to stop Inter Milan's skillful and delicate attack!
Legrottaglie was originally defending against Adriano, and Chiellini was also defending against Agüero. They thought that Mata would pass the ball to the two strikers, but they did not expect Mata to dribble the ball directly. They also did not expect Mata to be so determined to go into the penalty area without any hesitation …
After Mata rushed into the goal, he swung his leg and pretended to shoot. At this time, Zebina came back in an unusually embarrassed state. He hurried up to intercept. He made a blocking action, but Zebina was easily fooled.
Then, people saw the Spanish star player take the football back and then pass it horizontally to Adriano in the penalty area …
*****
"Beautiful ball distribution! Adriano! He is unmarked now … He shoots … "
How could Adriano miss such an opportunity?!
He directly volleyed the ball!
The football flew straight to the goal. Juventus' goalkeeper, Buffon, flew to save, but the distance was too close. Adriano's shot was very powerful, and the angle was very tricky. Even Buffon could not do anything about such a shot …
“Goooooaaaaal！”
“Goooooaaaaal！” The commentator, Ferrari, jumped up from his seat and roared loudly. Inter Milan's attack this time was really beautiful. Juventus' seemingly stable defensive line was torn apart by Inter Milan's three passes and two kicks. The coordination was beautiful, and the final assist and shot were so wonderful! Such a goal deserved the commentator to release his enthusiasm.
Along with him, the Inter Milan fans in the visiting team's stands at the scene did the same. They jumped up, raised their arms high, and cheered loudly for the goal.
At the same time, in the city of Milan, in bars big and small, there were loud cheers from Inter Milan fans.
Adriano ran to celebrate. He knelt on the field again and murmured, dedicating the goal to his father. This had become Adriano's classic celebration, and it also touched countless fans.
On the sidelines, Li Ang and his assistant, Banderas, high-fived each other in celebration. Their tactics were very correct, and they quickly achieved results. This goal was the best reward and reward!
The game between Juventus and Inter Milan at home received a lot of attention. Many countries and regions around the world chose to broadcast it live. At this moment, the commentators on the television stations of various countries were also excitedly commentating, announcing that Inter Milan was leading Juventus by 1: 0 in the away game.
*****
On the field, the Inter Milan players were also excitedly celebrating the goal.
Mata, who had provided the assist, rushed up to pull down Adriano, who was celebrating. Then, more Inter Milan players pressed forward. Even the goalkeeper, César, ran up from behind. It showed how excited the Inter Milan players were. Games against Juventus never required mobilization.
Yes, they were very excited, not only because they scored and took the lead, not only because their opponent was Juventus, but also because this goal was the result of their hard work on the training ground. It showed that the manager's tactics were very correct, which made them very happy. There was a kind of joy and satisfaction that came from the bottom of their hearts.
It also made them very confident about winning the game.
