He saw the Inter Milan players celebrating the goal. The Roma manager, Luciano Spalletti's face was gloomy. He reached out and scratched his bald head. Under the floodlights, it was like a glowing light bulb.
He did not expect that just as he made the adjustment to ask Pizarro to control the game's rhythm, Inter Milan would seize the opportunity. After a successful steal, they directly attacked!
Spalletti looked at the home team's technical area next door. He was not sure if this was an 'accident' or if the Chinese man had made a targeted deployment for Pizarro.
It should not be a special deployment.
Spalletti did not believe that Li Ang could successfully see through his adjustment and respond so quickly. Such keen observation and decisiveness was simply impossible!
Spalletti judged that it was just an accident.
Pizarro's steal was also an accident. It could only be said that Carlos's ability to intercept was too strong. Even from the perspective of the opponent's manager, Spalletti had to admire Carlos's super intercepting and intercepting ability.
Therefore, this goal concede should be regarded as an accident.
The goal concede had already happened, so there was no need to dwell on this' small problem. '
Spalletti focused on how to change the situation on the field. The Roma team was already behind by 0: 1. If the Roma team wanted to win this game from the Meazza Stadium, they urgently needed to equalize the score before the end of the first half.
In this way, when the second half began, both sides would still be on the same starting line.
With a score of 0: 1 and a score of 1: 1 to start the second half, it would make a world of difference to the team's morale and the team's tactical formulation.
*****
Spalletti was considering: there were still about ten minutes left in the first half. If the Roma team could seize the opportunity, they might have a chance to equalize the score before the end of the first half.
The only concern was that Inter Milan's offense was very fierce. Spalletti's biggest concern was that Roma could not equalize the score. Instead, Inter Milan scored another goal. That would be a real crisis.
Spalletti had a strong desire to win this game.
He knew that it was basically impossible for the Roma team to catch up with Inter Milan. Inter Milan's league title was basically in the bag, but Roma, as the second-placed team in the league, had to do something.
At this moment, in Spalletti's mind, this was to create trouble for Inter Milan. To be precise, it was to defeat Inter Milan in this direct confrontation. Inter Milan had won twenty-four consecutive matches in Serie A so far. Never mind losing, they had not even drawn a single match. If his Roma could defeat Inter Milan in a direct confrontation, then Spalletti and Roma could leave Meazza with pride. Even at the end of the season, they could proudly say that they were the first team to defeat Inter Milan in any competition!
Spalletti subconsciously looked at Inter Milan's technical area.
Li Ang sat in his seat with his legs crossed. He seemed to be a little absent-minded. In fact, his mind was thinking about Inter Milan's arrangements and plans for the second half of the season. Inter Milan needed to fight on three fronts. How to reasonably allocate energy and implement rotations was a very important topic.
At this time, Li Ang's heart, even though it was only the first half of the game, he had confidence in his players and his tactical deployment. The Roma team could not make any waves.
Naturally, he did not know that in the technical area next door, Spalletti actually had the "great" goal of defeating him …
Crossing his legs! Looking extremely relaxed …
In such an important game, he was still in a daze! This was even more unforgivable!
Li Ang's attitude was seen by Spalletti. He was enraged!
We must defeat Inter Milan!
Defeat Li Ang!
Let this bastard have a taste of Spalletti's power!
Attack!
Attack!
Equalize the score before the end of the first half!
This was the minimum requirement!
Score a goal!
Spalletti gritted his teeth and gave the latest order.
*****
Following Spalletti's order, the Roma team also changed their style of play. They began to try to strengthen their offense and no longer huddled in defense.
The Roma players actually welcomed this change. Although they were a Serie A team, the Roma team was really not good at defense. Their advantage in Serie A was their offense, especially the wolf pack tactics that Spalletti had tailor-made for the Roma team.
In Spalletti's 42-3-1 formation, Taddei was a chess piece that Spalletti relied heavily on. He could play a role in both offense and defense on the right flank. Taddei could be said to be Spalletti's magic weapon to maintain the team's balance of offense and defense.
In addition, Perrotta's short sprints in the middle, Pizarro's movements in the middle, Mancini and Taddei's breakthroughs in the flanks, and Totti's retreat in the middle were important features of Spalletti's 42-3-1 formation.
Li Ang immediately noticed this change in Roma.
"It looks like Spalletti is not willing to fall behind at half time," Banderas also said.
Li Ang nodded. He glanced at Spalletti's side and saw that Spalletti was standing on the sidelines, pacing back and forth, looking a little anxious.
Obviously, Spalletti had 'ideas' for this game.
However, at this time, Spalletti let the Roma team press forward and attack, which could be said to be what China Milan wanted.
*****
Li Ang shook his head. In his opinion, Spalletti's adjustment was not wise. In terms of offense, Roma was not Inter Milan's opponent at all. After two seasons of adjustment, Inter Milan could be said to have done a good job of balancing offense and defense.
On the defensive side, they combined the Italian football's chain defense with Li Ang's Lion strategy's pressing, passing, and control very well. It could be said that they were one of the best defensive teams in the five major leagues.
On the offensive side, Inter Milan's offensive power was strong, and it was now one of the most powerful teams in European football.
When the Roma team wanted to attack, it was inevitable that there would be an imbalance on both ends of the offense and defense, and it was easy for the opponent to seize the gaps and loopholes.
The teams that attacked Inter Milan did not have a good ending.
This was even more so with Spalletti's lineup and playing style.
Li Ang got up and walked to the sidelines. He glanced at the field, then raised two fingers to signal his players.
Then, the Inter Milan manager put his hands in his trouser pockets. In the night wind of Meazza, his trench coat was flapping. It was very stylish.
