On the evening of the end of the match, Wang Feng did not attend the celebration dinner but returned directly to Milan, because Inter Milan would face AC Milan, the key rival of the championship, in the next round of the tournament. champion.
In the first round of the championship clash, the two teams were tied. Ancelotti's four-three-two formation left a deep impression on Mancini and Inter Milan. Their rookie Kaka also showed that he will not lose to Wang Feng. potential and resilience. Although Kaka went through a period of silence after this match, the club and fans gave him a lot of patience and time.
For Serie A rookies, ups and downs in performance are normal. It can only be said that there are very few situations where Wang Feng's strong and stable performance is possible.
Kaka did not meet everyone's expectations. After adapting himself, he unleashed another explosive wave. He has scored 10 goals so far. This data allowed him to enter the top 5 scorers.
Before the match, Mancini gathered the coaching staff to discuss tactics with the AC Milan team. Since the last confrontation, he had been thinking about breaking the game.
"I thought about it for a long time. The four-three-two formation is too dependent on a penetrating attack in the middle and it is almost difficult to form an effective wing attack," Mancini analyzed.
"This squad also depends a lot on the impact of the striker, midfielder as well as the quality of the shooter. Currently, AC Milan's Andriy Shevchenko and Kaka are very suitable for this characteristic, so they can exert great strength. my best."
The technical coach now added: "But AC Milan will still have some attacks on the sideline, mainly supported by long passes from the full-back to the front of the field. Do we have a chance to counterattack?"
Mancini frowned when he heard these words. While watching the video of the last half, his eyes gradually brightened and said excitedly: "Yes, we can take advantage of the space behind the full-back to counterattack. .attack quickly!"
"After passing the ball from the wing to the defense, use Adriano and Wang Feng's techniques to proactively win points. At the same time, the central players also quickly form a localized area to play less and less." . In this way, the horizontal defense they deploy will be more effective. It doesn't work at all!"
Mancini excitedly jumped up from his seat and continued: "Defense can also be like this. Arrange personnel densely in the middle so they cannot penetrate easily. Not only can this block their threatening middle attack, but it can also block the force using a weak attack. Wing, please give us another chance!
Everyone nodded, and the assistant coach said: "So what should we do with the heavy army in the middle?" Let Vuong Phong retreat to the front midfielder?
"No problem. Use a four-year squad. It's not like Vuong Phong has never played quarterback before. He will make us happy."
.....
Before the match started, Mancini announced the tactical arrangements for the Inter Milan soldiers. Although many people do not understand the specific principles, this does not prevent them from taking the head coach's requests seriously.
Therefore, Ancelotti was surprised to discover that the squad he had carefully considered was found by Mancini using certain restraint methods. Kaka and Rui Costa have difficulty in the attacking midfield.
I wanted to attack from the wing, but the front and back yards were a bit far apart, creating a relatively large space. Once you change the ball, it's easy to cause trouble. Like when Zanetti stole the ball in the backfield and threw it straight to Wang Feng on the right wing, he then easily penetrated the wing. Fortunately, Adriano failed to score a goal after a cross and was caught by goalkeeper Dida.
Thanks to the ability to deploy excellent tactics, Inter Milan gradually took the initiative in the match. AC Milan realized that the situation was not good so they did not blindly accelerate the attack but focused on stability.
After a fiery first collision and 30 boring minutes, there was finally a change on the field. In the 37th minute, Chivu made a long pass into the home half, Wang Feng denied Gattuso, and Nesta passed between two AC Milan defenders, caught the ball offside and took advantage of that situation to kill To. right side of restricted area.
In his eyes, there was a big gap between defender Cafu, AC Milan goalkeeper Dida and the left goal. If they hit directly, they will be unstoppable!
Therefore, without waiting for his teammates in the midfield to chase him, he directly launched a powerful volley with his right foot. The ball entered AC Milan's goal and went into the net.
"Goooooooooooooooooooo! The game deadlock is finally broken, a world wave of Wang Feng!"
"He penetrated the opponent's goal with a long shot full of thought and power. We can see Cafu making a save and goalkeeper Dida also making a save but neither of them touched the ball.
"We have reason to believe that this is definitely not a coincidence. Wang Feng's shot selection was very wise and his shot execution was very precise. The combination of both two created this goal."
.....
Although AC Milan is reluctantly falling behind, they can only speed up their attack. Kaka's impact in some areas will often require the help of two or three people. After all, he doesn't have perfect tricks like Vuong Phong, so faced with this situation, he can only choose to turn back.
Towards the end of the first half, the Rossoneri tried to attack further, but Materazzi stole the ball from Rui Costa and fired a long shot forward.
At this time, Inter Milan's personnel have all had their share. Costacurta scored the first point and then passed towards Nesta. Wait for the ball to roll. There were no other players near him anyway, Nesta was thinking that when she suddenly saw the guard Dida scream in horror and point at him ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ He reacted immediately That's right, someone from Inter Milan came forward!
So he hurriedly ran towards the ball but it was too late. During a few seconds of delay, Vuong Phong quickly crossed the halfway line and chased the ball.
Nesta only felt a flash of light next to him, the ball disappeared from his eyes, leaving only the backs of the players wearing number 10 shirts.
After successfully stealing the ball, there was nothing left in front of Vuong Phong. AC Milan's defense has not yet returned to its correct position. In the blink of an eye, he reached the penalty area and faced the goalkeeper directly.
The next thing is very simple. If he could miss this opportunity, he wouldn't be a world football player who won the European Golden Shoe twice. Wang Feng deceived the ground keeper with a pendulum and pushed the empty goal to increase the score to the advantageous team.
In the second half, Ancelotti changed the formation in desperation and sent Inzaghi to increase the attack in the hope of coming back to score, but Inter Milan's defense played very well and they did not miss any opportunities until the end of the match. game. 2:0! Inter Milan won the Derby and took another solid step on the road to the championship.
On the other hand, AC Milan continues to rank behind Rome. It seems like it will be difficult for them to get 2nd place on the rankings this season.
.....
After the match, Ancelotti went to Inter Milan's training area and had a simple conversation with Mancini: "It's really not easy for you to find countermeasures so quickly."
"No matter what, you can come up with such a tactic, it's really powerful, especially the core operations department that continues to grow at a high rate," Mancini laughed. I can't wait to compete with the full Christmas tree."
Ancelotti was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile when he realized that. Four Three Two One really looks like a Christmas tree with a thick bottom and narrow top.
