Chapter 273

The venue for the final, Stade de France, is located in Saint-Denis on the outskirts of Paris. This is not a pure football stadium but a complete stadium suitable for many different sports purposes.

The stadium has a capacity of 80,000 spectators. The 1998 World Cup final was held here and the 2003 World Athletics Championships also ended here.

For the audience, the feeling of watching the match in this stadium is relatively bad, because the field and the stands are separated by laps, but this does not affect the fans flocking to the scene to applaud. The fans of both teams were huge and their looting made it difficult to get tickets to the final. Many Parisians complained on the Internet.

In the luxury box on the top floor, Barcelona president Laporta is calmly drinking red wine, occasionally chatting with his assistant next to him, unlike Inter Milan president Moratti who is walking around nervously. At this time, whether they succeed or fail in realizing their dreams depends on the present moment!

Players from both sides lined up on both sides of the player tunnel waiting to enter the field. Inter Milan's squad is 4321. Goalkeeper Toldo

The defenders were Mikhailovich, Cordoba, Samoel and Materazzi. Back midfielders Zanetti, Makelele, Pizarro, forward midfielders Ribéry and Wang Feng.

Move forward Adriano.

Barcelona played in a four-three-three formation with Valdés as the goalkeeper.

Defenders are Oleg, Marcos, Puyol, Van Bronckhorst.

Midfielders Deco, Edmilson, Van Bommel. Strikers Giuly, Eto'o, Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho saw Vuong Phong's eyes light up and smiled and greeted: "Vuong, since the Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan match, we haven't played again, right?

"Last time I lost to you, I'm looking forward to the next match. God has treated me well and given me a strong team. This time I will definitely win!"

Facing this confident new World Player of the Year, Vuong Phong stiffly replied: "My teammates are also very good. I believe that with their full support, I will be the one to say the word." Final!"

The fire of competition flashed in both of their eyes, until other players reminded them that it was time to enter the field, so they both looked away and followed their teammates onto the field. .....

Barcelona took the lead in the first half. Ronaldinho and Eto'o were in the middle ring. After the whistle from Norwegian referee Hauge, Eto'o kicked the ball to Ronaldinho. The player then turns around and moves back to the backfield. Adriano, Ribéry and Wang Feng approached the front court, waiting for an opportunity to steal the ball from their opponents.

Puyol blocked the ball, adjusted, then passed to Marcos on the wing, then to Deco. Realizing there was no longer a chance, the Inter Milan trio retreated to the center circle.

Seeing Barcelona's passes and receptions at close range was really exciting. Each player stops the ball very often. However, Inter Milan's tactics do not require possession of the ball. They just need to hold out and tear apart the opponent's defense with quick counterattacks.

Deco passes the ball to Ronaldinho on the wing. Ronaldinho received the ball and immediately took effect. He skillfully used the cow's tail to escape from Zanetti and then went straight into the Inter Milan penalty area. The pace on the field suddenly became faster, Eto'o and Giuly on the line stepped in one after another, while Wang Feng and Ribéry in front quickly returned to defense.

When approaching the edge of the penalty area, Ronaldinho used many body movements to deceive Samuel and then suddenly took a shot. Materazzi, who was nearby, reacted quickly and blocked the ball from going sideways on the first shot. The ball hit him. The body bounces towards the front area.

At this time, Vuong Phong rushed to control the ball, Eto'o wanted to fight back on the spot, but he could not find any opportunity against his tight ball protection.

Although this attack failed, it also revealed a problem: no one in the Inter Milan defense could stop Ronaldinho in a one-on-one situation!

Mancini nervously stepped aside and shouted to the midfielders to catch up with the defense so that Ronaldinho could no longer get past the Inter Milan defense as easily as crossing the road. Ten minutes later, Barcelona had three shots, while Inter Milan still had no shots. They were almost defeated by Barcelona on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, the Spanish giant launched a new attack. It was still Ronaldinho who broke through to the sideline, the ball still entered the penalty area under the siege and blocking of Zanetti and Samuel.

Now Eto'o is responding in the penalty area, Materazzi is next to him, pinning him down, while hindering small secret movements. This is a trick often used by defenders. As long as it's not too obvious, the referee usually doesn't see it. arrive.

The Cameroonian striker did not force himself. Although he is very powerful, he can definitely use all his strength to shake the Italian defender, but after shaking himself, his shot will become less threatening. I see him backing up to block the ball, Edmilson has just come from outside the box, there are no other defenders around him, Cordoba and Mikhailovich are protecting Giuly from behind!

The Brazilian midfielder did not miss the opportunity, volleying with his right toe ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The ball went over goalkeeper Toldo's head and into the net.

"gooooooooooal! The goal has been scored! In the tenth minute of the match, Edmilson opened the scoring for Barcelona!"

"80% of the credit for this goal must go to Ronaldinho. After double-teaming, he still gave the ball to Eto'o in the middle."

"The remaining 20% ​​is thanks to Eto'o's return and Edmilson's great shot."

"What is Inter Milan's defense doing? Why are Mikhailovich and Cordoba surrounded by Giuly?"

"The passivity of the situation and the goals conceded pushed the Nerazzurri into a corner."

.....

After Barcelona took the lead, they did not change their tactics and style. They still control the ball slowly and use their ability to control passes to penetrate the defense. The general appearance is very stable.

"Look at this attack, Ronaldinho pushes the ball forward, he's really fluid, gets past Zanetti and passes to Eto'o on the side."

"Giuly, Edmilson and Deco have all arrived, Barcelona's position is like the tide!"

"Eto'o returned the pass to Ronaldinho and hit the target! The goal was scored!"

"This time it was Eto'o entering the penalty area forcing the defense back into an inverted triangle, Ronaldinho followed and kicked the ball furiously!"

"Barcelona's offensive firepower is really too strong. With the trident shining on the front line, Deco and Edmilson occasionally step forward to threaten the opponent. Inter Milan is basically unstoppable!"

"As expected from the team known as the second dream dynasty, the Nerazzurri are slipping away from the championship."
