Chapter 557 The Crucial Battle

During the two-week national match day, the erosion of the FIFA virus made the players' bodies extremely tired.

Especially for clubs like Real Madrid that output a large number of players, the situation is not optimistic.

After the players returned to the team, it was followed by another month of consecutive double matches, and the pressure was extremely high.

In the absence of Ramos, Modric and Kroos, Real Madrid was tied 1:1 by Villarreal.

The league has not won two rounds, and it is already 5 points behind the top Atletico Madrid, ranking fourth in the standings.

Real Madrid executives can use the current defeat as a boost for the Champions League.

After all, it is only the 10th round of the league now, and the gap of 5 points is not too big, which is enough for Real Madrid to make efforts in the later stage to recover the gap.

Going to the Meazza Stadium in the middle of the week is related to the future of Real Madrid in the European war, and it is also a key battle that determines whether Zidane can continue to coach Real Madrid.

This is not an exaggeration.

Although he led Real Madrid to the league and Champions League titles last season, they also won the European Super Cup at the beginning of the season.

But failing to qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage is absolutely intolerable to the club.

Benzema, Kroos, and Valverde entered the royal ward, and Zidane must use new tactics.

Fortunately, Casemiro returned in time to relieve the pressure on Real Madrid's defense.

The situation of their opponent Inter Milan is also very grim.

The performance in the league is like two teams. In the first three rounds of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan only scored 2 points.

Among the opponents in the same group, Borussia Borussia has 8 points, Real Madrid has 7 points, and Shakhtar has 4 points. The difference between them is not too big. A victory can completely change the ranking.

They are also the most competitive of all groups.

This is why Conte is still full of confidence.

As long as they win two of the remaining three games, they will qualify safely.

After Lukaku's comeback, Conte has more confidence in the team's forward attack power.

At the beginning of the game, Inter Milan stormed towards Real Madrid's goal by virtue of their home court advantage.

The double defensive midfielder dominated by Kroos and Modric can hardly resist the impact of Inter Milan.

In the first half, the defense line composed of Mendy, Nacho, Varane and Carvajal was directly exposed to the opponent, and there was jitters in front of the goal.

In order to stabilize the line of defense, Real Madrid retracted their formation and built a line of defense outside the penalty area to block the opponent's initial onslaught.

Although Zidane is a French legend, he has the essence of traditional Serie A defense, and he is not ambiguous at all if he really wants to set up a bus.

It's just that it doesn't match the name of a giant like Real Madrid.

In the first 20 minutes, Inter Milan took the initiative, the offense was simple, the defense was fierce, and they were one step away from scoring.

In the 10th minute, Lautaro, who is 174cm tall, received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area, took off high, shook his head and hit the goal, and was dragged out of the crossbar by Courtois with a single palm.

Five minutes later, Lukaku, who weighed 5kg, dribbled the ball past several people in the third area of ​​Real Madrid's half, and shot angrily, wide of the near post.

Inter Milan's "one high and one fast" combination is full of killer qualities.

Conte's command off the court was extremely excited, running around like a lunatic, roaring loudly, with a maverick in his eccentricity.

Zidane, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. The calm demeanor of the Frenchman, combined with his scolding Fang Qiu, makes his gestures elegant and calm.

One word, steady!

Kroos still appeared near the left defense zone, forming a back five.

Not only does it guarantee the defensive width, but once there is a chance to counterattack, his long pass from the backcourt can go directly to Inter Milan's defense.

Another key figure in Real Madrid, Modric became active, orderly sorting out the team's offense.

Zidane requires players to be purposeful when passing the ball, and Modric's role is to simplify the purpose of his teammates.

Teammates only need to think about how to pass and receive Modric's ball, that's enough.

In the 23rd minute, Real Madrid players continued to pass and cooperate in the backcourt, making Inter Milan's press futile.

It is worth noting that this is Real Madrid's 20 consecutive passes.

This number is still rising.

Passing the ball non-stop, allowing Inter Milan to maintain a closely linked defense, began to waver.

This is Zidane's purpose, to use pass control, master the rhythm, and let the opponent follow his own rhythm.

boom!
In a seemingly ordinary return pass, Real Madrid had the ball forward by Odegaard, and it fell behind the opponent's defense.

Rossi, already kicking into high gear, sprints toward the ball.

Vidal, as Rossi's Bayern teammate and the No. [-] bodyguard of Tianzihao, finally handed over.

Resolutely tackled the ball, shoveling with the ball.

drop!
Foul tackle, yellow card.

Perhaps some fans will question Vidal. This is just past the middle circle, and it will not be worth the loss to shovel rashly.

But only those who really know Rossi know clearly.

Tackle, as early as possible.

Real Madrid set the ball in the frontcourt, and Nacho hoisted the ball directly into the penalty area.

As one of Real Madrid's few high points, Varane leaped high, overwhelmed De Vrij under him, and scored with a header.

With just one chance, Real Madrid hit within the range of the goal, which made the Meazza stadium suddenly scream.

The ball went between the legs of Inter goalkeeper Handanovic, bounced off the ground, and went straight to the goalkeeper's face.

The inescapable Handanovic stuck his neck out, caught the ball with his face and turned it away.

The Inter players, who thought they could sit back and relax, were taken aback when they saw the back of the white number 7.

[Real Madrid's attack still exists! 】

[Rosie! 】

[Push into the empty door! 】

[Real Madrid is ahead! 】

[1:0! 】

【My goodness! 】

[While everyone was still shocked by this wonderful save, Rossi was already on his way to grab points! 】

[Everyone knows that Rossi will grab two penalties! 】

[But I just can't prevent it! 】

[This has become Rossi's iconic way of scoring goals! 】

【Labor-saving, efficient and chic! 】

boom!
Kong Er's idiot vented his anger again on the water bottle on the ground.

He has emphasized many times that Rossi must be strictly guarded.

But still missed.

Leaked so much.

The Real Madrid players were extremely excited, and they all came over to cheer.

With captain Ramos absent and Casemiro on the bench, Real Madrid's defense is under tremendous pressure.

If this pressure continues for another 10 minutes, Real Madrid's defense will collapse.

Rossi's goal, to a certain extent, eased the defensive pressure of his teammates and boosted morale.

Next, it was the Inter players' turn to be anxious.

Assuming they won't win this game, it is really possible for them to go home directly after the group stage.

The game continues.

Inter Milan continued to strengthen their offensive and stormed towards Real Madrid's goal.

But the change in mentality also affects the performance on the court.

Real Madrid players played more calmly and confidently.

In the 38th minute, in a set-piece opportunity for Inter Milan, Vidal fell to the ground under the double-teaming of two Real Madrid defenders, but the referee did not give a penalty.

Feeling innocent, Vidal quickly got up and complained to the referee.

Although the referee has warned him, Vidal is still chattering.

drop!
yellow card!

Two yellows turn one red!
Right hand pointing out!

The referee sent off Vidal with a red card!
The sudden change caused an uproar in the stadium.

This is the first half of the game, Inter Milan was sent off, how to play the next game?
This is obviously favoring Real Madrid.

The disputed penalty caused the game to be interrupted.

But the referee resolutely maintained his authority and warned other players not to question it.

This time, Inter Milan was one goal behind and had one less player.

Win or lose, there is no suspense!
