Chapter 200 The Great Harvest of Christmas

After the game restarted, the Piacenza team's offensive continued unabated.

Fortunately, Inter Milan is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and was not intimidated by the opponent's momentum...

However, as the home atmosphere of the Piacenza team became more and more intense, the kicking movements of the Piacenza players also tended to develop more and more violently.

The room leaked and rained continuously, Inter Milan midfielder Pirlo, who is actually still a young player, made a mistake.

He reached out and knocked Gaultieri, the Piacenza midfielder.

Godieri's free kick, over the heads of Inter Milan's crowd, unexpectedly hit the far corner.

This made Toldo, who was standing near the goal, caught off guard...

The score on the field became two to one, and Piacenza overtook Inter Milan by one point.

Seeing that the atmosphere on the field was getting tense, Yin Yang took advantage of the dead ball to call the team captain Zanetti over and scolded: "You are an Inter Milan team, not a newly promoted Serie A team, let alone an amateur team! What kind of football do you think you play?"

Yin Yang's words were very loud. In fact, Zanetti didn't need to tell them, the players had already heard it.

In fact, the Inter Milan team, which has stabilized its mentality, is really not difficult to deal with Piacenza, a grassroots team.

At about the 65th minute of the game, Inter Milan veteran Di Biagio made a cross from the right, center Vieri headed the ball and Ronaldo scored with a header from close range.

It was a beautiful header relay and Ronaldo equalized the game.

Gradually, due to the decline in physical fitness, the Piacenza team gradually became unable to support the galloping style of play, and the rhythm of the game finally fell under the control of Inter Milan.

Although the Piacenza team has some defensive experience, but the Inter Milan team also has a lot of means to break the dense defense!

In the 83rd minute of the game, Vieri received a pass from Ronaldo. With his back to the goal, Vieri cleverly passed the ball with his right foot, leaning on the substitute defender Martagliati and turned to shoot.

With a strong shot from his left foot, the ball went straight into the lower left corner, scoring the winning goal for the Inter Milan team, and the score on the field became two to three.

This is before the Western New Year, Vieri finally became No.1 in the Serie A scorer list.

In this game, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. The score was still [-]-[-]. The Inter Milan team narrowly beat Piacenza in the away game.

After this round of competition, the first half of the 01/02 season of the Italian Serie A came to an end. The Serie A was suspended due to the Christmas holiday and ushered in a rare intermission.

Although the Serie A season schedule is only one game away, the Inter Milan team's points have surpassed No.
William Hill, a well-known British bookmaker, immediately adjusted the odds of winning Serie A this season. Inter Milan topped the list with odds of 11 to 13.

The reason why William Hill believes that Inter Milan has become the favorite to win the championship is not only because the cooperation between Inter Milan's striker Vieri and Ronaldo has become increasingly powerful, but also because they believe that Inter Milan has an excellent defense.

And William Hill also stated that if Inter Milan continues this state beyond the New Year, then Inter Milan will undoubtedly win the championship in the end. At that time, they may close the game and no longer accept betting on Inter Milan's championship...

Of course, the Italian media was not to be outdone. After the No.16 round of Serie A, they immediately launched the best team in the first half of Serie A: 4-3-3!

In the position of the goalkeeper, the media chose Toldo, the goalkeeper with the most stable performance and the fewest mistakes in the first half of the league.

Media explanation: In contrast to Juventus goalkeeper Buffon this season, perhaps leaving the familiar Parma, without the help of the combination of Caravaro and Thuram, the stability shown is slightly worse, and there is also a lack of magical saves in the first half of the game. Therefore, the media gave Serie A leader goalkeeper Toldo!

On the defensive line, Roma's Argentine Samuel and Lazio's captain Nesta occupy the positions of the two central defenders in the best team.

But Inter Milan's Materazzi and Stam were not selected, which caused Nerazzurri to complain.

Media explanation: This is caused by the fact that the three central defenders of the Inter Milan team played too many times and played too few games, and the weak team can better highlight the strength of the team's defense...

In fact, Yin Yang understands that this is the media trying to balance things out.After all, the media can't let all the positions be given to Inter Milan players, can they?

Sure enough, in the choice of right back, the media chose Inter Milan's captain Zanetti.

However, this choice was brutally attacked by Roma fans.

In fact, in the eyes of Italian football practitioners, Zanetti's selection is not entirely the reason for Inter Milan's excellent record.

Media explanation: This season's Inter Milan team captain Zanetti's defensive performance is indeed solid, and Zanetti's assists are quite sharp, which is not much compared with last season's Cafu.The most important thing is Cafu this season. After winning the Serie A championship in Rome, he seems a little distracted.

However, the choice of the left back position surprised Yin Yang, but thinking about it carefully, the media's choice was not wrong.

By the end of the Serie A season, the left back seems to have become the "weakness" of the Serie A teams.

AC Milan's Maldini Jr. is old, injured and has fewer appearances. Moreover, in the era of Coach Trim, AC Milan's left back has always been guarded by Serginho, who is strong in offense and weak in defense. Maldini Jr. is more of a central defender.

But in the central defender position, not to mention the selected Samuel and Nesta, even the three major central defenders of the Inter Milan team, it is rare to compare, isn't it?

In the same way, Roma's Candela and Juventus's Pesotto, their performance at the left back position is not satisfactory.In contrast, the Inter Milan team with excellent performance, Grosso, who has always occupied the main position of left back, has been working hard and playing normally.Especially in the Milan city derby, Grosso performed particularly well.

In the end, Grosso was the biggest winner of the left-back position in the best team in the first half of Serie A hyped by the Italian media.

The choice of defensive players in the best team in the first half of Serie A is not controversial, but the selection of defensive midfielders made the Italian media a headache.

Chievo's Corini, Roma's Assuncao, Inter Milan's Zanetti, Di Biagio, and Juventus' Taccinati all have the strength to compete for this position, but the Italian media finally chose Corini.

Seedorf on the left midfielder.He has excellent physical fitness and skilled ball skills, and is the golden thread connecting Inter Milan's midfield and frontcourt.

Roman Prince Totti appeared in the position of the midfielder of the best team. This selection is still undisputed.

In the selection of the 4-3-3 formation striker of the best team in the first half of Serie A, it was much more lively.

Inter Milan's Vieri, a latecomer to dominate the top scorer throne, there is no problem in being selected.

Ronaldo, who scored two goals less than Vieri, was selected... In fact, the aura of Alien Takayama's reputation for playing drums made his selection no problem at all.

However, the third forward of the media chose Parma's striker Di Vaio first, which immediately dissatisfied the fans and players.

First of all, the most popular player this season, the 35-year-old Piacenza veteran Hubner, who has been leading the [-]th round of Serie A, lost the election, which makes people unhappy.

The media explained that although Di Vaio and Hubner both scored twelve Serie A goals, the media believed that Piacenza's offense basically revolved around Hubner, and Hubner's goals included 3 penalty kicks...

At this time, AC Milan's nuclear warhead, Shevchenko, who has scored eleven goals this season, is of course not convinced.Ronaldo, who also scored eleven goals, why can he be selected?

When congratulating all the players on the team for the new year, Yin Yang patted Ronaldo on the shoulder and said, "Fatty, I said a long time ago that you don't need to score goals to prove yourself now..."

Before Yin Yang finished speaking, Ronaldo jumped up and said, "Don't call me fat! Also, Christmas is here, it's time to pay back the money!"
