Chapter 164 Learn from Liverpool first, then learn from Arsenal! Since the ball was saved by Buffon, Inter Milan got another corner kick. This time, Juventus players obviously learned their lesson and began to arrange a defensive player at the top of the penalty area line, specifically targeting the opponent's players who were advancing to participate in the header, especially Cordoba. Although he is not tall, his jumping ability is really outstanding, and the threat he poses to Juventus' goal is no less than those tall players. But unfortunately, Inter Milan does not intend to continue using the previous tactics this time. Seeing Lin Feng's gesture representing the corner kick tactics, Inter Milan's players all ran into the small penalty area. Seeing this, the Juventus players who let go of them were forced to follow them into the small penalty area. The area of the small penalty area was originally limited, and with so many players pouring in at once, it suddenly became crowded. This made Juventus goalkeeper Buffon feel very uncomfortable. The dense crowd greatly affected his range of movement, and his attack was also blocked by the crowd, making it very difficult. Moreover, there are so many people in the small penalty area. When the opponent's ball comes over, it may hit anyone and cause refraction or something. At such a close distance, even a god may not be able to save the situation. Who came up with this tactic? It's so disgusting!
Seeing Buffon's constipated look, Lin Feng laughed secretly: Is it uncomfortable? It’s okay to feel uncomfortable! He learned this trick from Liverpool! Before his rebirth, when he saw Liverpool adopt this corner kick tactic in the league and the Champions League, the expression on the opponent's goalkeeper's face was exactly the same as Buffon's at this moment. After the corner kick was taken, Lin Feng kicked it directly to the place where the crowd was the most dense. A certain amount of force was used when kicking the ball, which made the ball go faster and more conducive to refraction. In that case, even if a teammate fails to win the header, it is easy to create an own goal if he encounters other players. There was chaos in the penalty area. Players from both sides saw the ball coming and some pulled the ball, some confronted the ball, some jumped, and some even fell to the ground during the confrontation. But no one cared about these at this time. Samuel in front of Inter Milan jumped high and grabbed the landing point, but his header was accurately blocked by Buffon. Although obstructed by the crowd, Buffon still showed his great strength, accurately predicted the landing point of the football, and completed the save. But the crowd in the small penalty area still had a certain impact on him. He saved the ball hastily, his hand shape was slightly wrong, and he didn't have time to lift the ball over the crossbar, so he could only hit the ball out. But the small penalty area was packed with people, and the ball he saved hit Chiellini's back, bounced back and fell into the goal. The deadlock on the field was broken and the score became 1:0. The goal for Inter Milan was scored by Juventus defender Chiellini! After landing, Chiellini felt self-blaming, sad, and a little bit panicked. He held his head, a look of disbelief on his face, at a loss as to what to do! It’s over, it’s over. The head coach finally promoted me and I became a main player. But he actually scored an own goal in such an important game. Will this make him lose the trust of the head coach and be put on ice by the team from now on? Buffon swore, but not at Chiellini. Chiellini was innocent. He jumped to compete for the landing point. When he fell, the ball hit him and he had no way to avoid it. If you want to blame someone, blame the person who designed this corner kick tactic. This tactic is really disgusting. With such chaos in the small penalty area, the probability of the opponent scoring a goal and the goalkeeper scoring an own goal is very high, and the goalkeeper's ability is greatly limited. Many Juventus players also felt that Inter Milan's corner kick tactics were fouls, and ran to the referee to protest, wanting the referee to cancel the goal. The referee obviously rarely encountered such a situation, but he carefully reviewed the process of Inter Milan's goal and did not find any obvious fouls in the process.
So he still insisted on his judgment and determined that the goal was valid. This penalty was applauded by tens of thousands of Inter Milan fans at the scene! "Well done to the referee!" "This is what a fair referee should look like!" In the last Italian national derby, many of the referee De Santis's decisions were extremely controversial, which made the outside world focus the spotlight on the law enforcement team. If the referee team makes any obvious mistakes or misjudgments in this game, they will definitely be criticized by the outside world and become the focus of public opinion attacks. When this happens, their jobs and futures are ruined. Facing the protests of Juventus players, the referee pointed firmly to the center circle. When the opponent was about to continue to pester them, he even made a gesture of taking cards out of his pocket, which scared the Juventus players so much that they scattered like birds and beasts and dared not continue to surround the referee. The game has just begun. Getting a card for protesting the referee's decision will be very disadvantageous for the rest of the game, especially for defensive players, who cannot afford to get a card easily. Filled with frustration and anger, Juventus players increased their offensive intensity after the restart, trying to quickly equalize the score. But after Inter Milan took the lead, they quickly contracted their formation, making it difficult for Juventus to counterattack and forced them into a positional battle. Italian teams are good at defending, and so is Inter Milan. Although the team's defense was not very good last season, Inter Milan's defensive strength has improved visibly this season. Facing the attack of a strong team like Juventus, they were still able to hold on, and even take advantage of the opponent's mistakes and launch a counterattack. In the 18th minute, Zanetti successfully intercepted Ibrahimovic and was about to launch a counterattack when he was tripped from behind by the Swede. Ibrahimovic was very smart. After committing the foul, he smiled apologetically and reached out to quickly pull Zanetti up. Seeing that Zanetti did not seem to be injured, the referee gave up the idea of giving Ibrahimovic a card and only gave him a verbal warning. Ibrahimovic only bullies Zanetti because he is a good guy. If it were someone else, with the foul he just committed, he would have to roll on the grass with his feet in his arms. How could he get up so easily? Inter Milan won a free kick in the backcourt, Samuel passed the ball to Cordoba, who took a few steps along the middle and passed it to Cambiasso who retreated to receive the ball. Cambiasso had Nedved behind him and he couldn't turn around, so he passed the ball to Samuel again. Seeing that he couldn't penetrate the middle, Samuel passed the ball to the player on the wing. Zanetti took the ball a few steps forward and was also under pressure from the opponent's forward line. He wanted to pass the ball back to Samuel, but when he saw Lin Feng near the center circle reaching for the ball, he passed the ball diagonally to him. Before Lin Feng received the ball, he felt several Juventus players surrounding him, but at this moment, he used his God's vision to see Veron's position move. He suddenly had an idea and deliberately ran towards the ball, preparing to receive it, attracting three opposing players to double-team him. However, he did not receive the ball when passing by, but deliberately let it slip, passing it to Veron who was diagonally behind him. "nice shot!" "This leak is very essential!" "Lin Feng has a really broad vision. How did he find out that Veron was in that position?" Because Lin Feng took away the nearby Juventus players, when Veron received the ball, no one around could interfere with him. For a classic attacking midfielder like Veron, as long as you give him a safe space, his strong passing ability will never let you down! Veron received the ball, observed, passed the ball, aimed at his own striker in the penalty area, and sent a deadly through ball.
The ball accurately found Adriano. Adriano's explosive power was fully demonstrated at this moment. Even though he was half a body length behind the opponent's defender, he relied on his powerful explosive power and speed to overtake his opponent. He received the ball, dribbled, accelerated to get rid of it, and by the time he broke into the penalty area, it had become a one-on-one opportunity! But it is too early to be happy now. Even if he passes the Juventus defender, there is still a big devil guarding the gate in front of him. Buffon chose to attack the moment Veron passed the ball. By the time Ade got rid of the defender and entered the penalty area, the distance between the two was less than five meters. How did it come so fast? Seeing Buffon suddenly appear in front of him, Ade was shocked. He didn't have the confidence to get past Buffon, nor could he continue forward, as that would cause him to lose all shooting angles. In a hurry, he chose to push the ball into the far corner. But Buffon anticipated his choice and stretched out his left leg to block the ball the moment he shot. Juventus' goalkeeper once again stood up and saved the team. If it weren't for his attack, the score on the field would probably have been 2:0! Having missed a one-on-one opportunity, Ade held his head and knelt on the grass in the Juventus penalty area. Such a good opportunity was wasted by myself! Ade, ah Ade, what are you afraid of? Why don’t you speed up and pass this guy? Are you afraid just because the opponent is the world's best goalkeeper? Adriano fell into deep self-blame. He felt that if Lin Feng was here just now, the other party would definitely not be afraid! "It's a pity that there was nothing wrong with Ader's handling of the ball, but Buffon's performance was obviously better!" "He is worthy of breaking the goalkeeper transfer record and becoming the most expensive goalkeeper in history. This transaction just now reflects Buffon's keen sense as a top goalkeeper." In the commentary booths of major TV stations, the commentators were either amazed or regretful, but the vast majority of them praised Buffon's performance. This guy is really terrifyingly strong. On the court, seeing Buffon step up again to help the team resolve the danger, Lin Feng and his teammates couldn't help but sigh: It really deserves to be called the Wall of Sighs of Juventus! Not sure if it was his illusion, but Lin Feng felt that Buffon’s figure seemed to have become taller. Maybe it’s the psychological effect of momentum! The game on the field continues, and Inter Milan has pushed the battle to the opponent's half. In the 22nd minute of the first half, Inter Milan's two wingers made a cross-position switch. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's defensive players were rotating, Figo suddenly sped up, took a few steps toward the baseline, and then sent a cross from the left. The original intention was to pass the ball half-high so that teammates in the middle of the penalty area could score. But the ball was a little too fast and neither player was able to catch it. The football slid past the goal and landed near the back post. And here, there appeared a person who shouldn't be here—Lin Feng! "Lin Feng!? Why is he here?" Juventus' defensive players, including Buffon, were all shocked when they saw that the person with the ball was Lin Feng. Buffon smelled danger and immediately chose to move towards Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng's shooting angle is very small, close to zero, this does not guarantee that the opponent will not shoot. If the opponent really kicks the ball and he is not prepared, he will most likely not be able to save it. Buffon is a very stable person and doesn't like to be a gambler.
But his choice was completely within Lin Feng's expectations. Seeing Buffon moving towards him, Lin Feng did not choose to shoot, but passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area. It’s up to you, Ade! As soon as I called out Ade's name in my heart, I saw a tall figure rushing over and knocking the ball out of the baseline. The one who cleared the ball was Juventus's midfielder - Vieira! After Vieira completed the clearance, he looked back at Lin Feng. We are all top midfielders, I still don’t understand your intention? Ade looked depressed. He missed such a good opportunity. Am I destined to miss a chance to score a goal today? But Inter's attack was not over yet, as Vieira's clearance gave them another corner kick. This time, Lin Feng stretched out three fingers. "The third set of corner kick tactics?" "How does Inter Milan want to play this time?" "Were their corner kick tactics designed by Mancini? Why are there so many tricks?" Seeing Lin Feng's gestures and the Inter Milan players' positions in the penalty area that were obviously different from the previous two times, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, as well as the commentators from various countries who were explaining the game, couldn't help but become curious: How many corner kick tactics does Inter Milan have? In the Juventus coaching booth, Pedro looked at the Inter Milan coaching booth next to him with some fear. This kid Mancini doesn't seem to be as stupid as he imagined. He still has some knowledge. I can study the corner kick tactics used by Inter Milan in depth and see if I can use them for my own benefit. Even if it is of no use in the league, it may be used in the Champions League. The Champions League is not a stage for AC Milan to perform alone. Juventus is also very interested in the Champions League. Mancini didn't know what the old man next door was thinking, and he didn't really understand corner kick tactics. But as long as someone understands it, that’s enough! As for where Inter Milan's various corner kick tactics came from, he didn't know. It was all thanks to Lin Feng. God knows how so many clever ideas come out of his little head? In the corner area, after Lin Feng positioned the ball, he took a few steps back and looked up to observe the positions of the players from both sides in the penalty area. The positioning of Inter Milan players was very unique. They did not deliberately leave a large area in the penalty area as before, nor did they swarm into the small penalty area. Instead, they arranged two people near the top of the penalty area and five tall players at the back position. As for the front point, there was no one. The corner kick tactic that Inter Milan used to score the goal just now was learned from Liverpool, and this time, Lin Feng plans to learn from Arsenal's tactics! (End of this chapter)
