Perugia is a small city in central Italy. The Perugia club located in this small city is also a small club. They have a long history, but they spend most of their time in low-level leagues. They have won the second and third championships, but they have never won the Serie A championship. Their best result was the runner-up in Serie A in the 197879 season, and created a season of unbeaten history. Zhongtian's AC Milan took the championship title.

Under the leadership of Cosmi this season, Perugia has successively defeated veteran teams such as Parma and Lazio. It became apparent that the team's performance had been declining all the way, and finally almost fell into the relegation circle.Although it rebounded in the later stage, it is more than 1 kilometers away from the Champions League seat, basically losing the ability to compete for the European qualification.

This match against Inter Milan is very important to Inter Milan. For Perugia, it is one of more than a dozen games. Whether you win or lose, it is irrelevant and has no practical significance, as long as you don’t keep losing Just go down.

But even so, because there are many things to watch, the Guli Stadium, which can accommodate 27663 people, is full of seats, and the grand occasion can catch up with Perugia's relegation and promotion.

Perugia's starting lineup for this campaign has attracted a lot of attention, but when the players came out, the fans found that Ahn Jung-hwan and Ma Mingyu, who were hyped before the game, did not appear in the starting lineup. Perugia's starting lineup is the traditional 532 , Goalkeeper: Mazzantini; Defenders: Rivalta, Loreto, Zemaria, Blasi; Monaco, Midfielders: Tedisco, Riverani, Pieri; Forwards: Busch and Frieza s.

Inter Milan's lineup for this game is relatively stable 442, goalkeeper Frey, four defenders Zanetti, Materazzi, Cordoba, Gresco; four midfielders: Pirlo, Dibia Neo, Seedorf and Dalma, striker Recoba partner Vieri.

After the players appeared on the field, the commentator Scarpini compared the starting lineup and said: "The two coaches did not play tricks on the starting lineup. There is no difference between the list and the 22 players on the court. Jeonghwan and Ma Mingyu were not able to appear in the starting lineup either, but they were all sitting on the bench. If Inter Milan leads by a large score in the game, or when the situation cannot be opened, maybe Cosmi will let the two Asian stars Try the ball on the court, but Cosmi does not trust Asian players, whether Ma Mingyu and Ahn Jung-hwan can play depends on how much pressure Perugia chairman Gucci puts on Cosmi."

force!

With the whistle of the referee, the game started.

The voices of the commentators were one-third higher than when they introduced the starters of the two sides just before the game, "The game has begun! This is the 18th match between Inter Milan and Perugia. Perugia has 1 win and 7 draws. 10 losses are completely at a disadvantage, including 1 win, 4 draws and 4 losses at home. Although Perugia is known as a giant killer, they did not have much glory against Inter Milan. In the first two seasons when Inter Milan was in a low tide, they Still losing at home, the current Inter Milan has swept Serie A and the UEFA Cup under the leadership of Jiang Mu, and the state is in full swing. Although Perugia is fighting at home, the possibility of victory is not great..."

It may be that there is no burden. After the opening, Perugia took advantage of the home court to attack Inter Milan.

Since former teammate Materazzi and midfield partner Liverani were both selected for the national team, midfielder Tedisco performed particularly well. After the opening, he was very excited and kept asking for the ball from his teammates, breaking through and Running is the most active in the team.

Under the leadership of Tedisco, Perugia got the first chance to attack the goal.

Perugia got a corner kick, Tedisco sent a beautiful arc, Greek striker Frizas beat Materazzi to the top, but the ball missed the goal under the interference of Materazzi column.

Inter Milan is not polite to play underdogs. After resisting Perugia's three axes, the three technical players Pirlo, Seedorf and Dalma have managed Inter Milan's midfield in an orderly manner and completely controlled it. According to the rhythm of the game, they also created a lot of threats at the front of Perugia's penalty area.

In the 6th minute of the game, Pirlo stepped in and drew a rapidly falling arc ball from the instep outside the front of the penalty area. Fortunately, goalkeeper Mazzantini reacted quickly and saved the ball to the bottom line, preventing Pirlo from slamming his opponent.

One minute later, Dibbianho made another big shot 1 meters away from the midfield, but Mazzantini, who was in excellent form, made a wonderful save when his sight was blocked. Foot blocked Di Bianho's shot.

After moving Perugia's defense outward with two long shots, Inter Milan immediately organized a fine short pass penetration. After a series of cooperation that dazzled the Perugia people, seeing Perugia's back The line of defense was somewhat disordered, Seedorf suddenly thrust a straight ball, Recoba quickly made a diagonal thrust, caught up with the ball and shot the goal.

After being tested by two consecutive long-distance shots, Mazzantini's alertness was extremely high. He also attacked quickly when Recoba fired. When Recoba shot, Mazzantini used his body to push Reco Ba's shot was blocked again.

Then Cosmi saw that Inter Milan's advantage in the midfield was too strong, and the three midfielders he arranged seemed to be alone in defense and offense, so he ordered the players to retreat and use dense defense to deal with Inter Milan. Milan's attack was stronger than wave.

Breaking through the dense defense is an international problem, and Inter Milan is already mentally prepared for this. They are not in a hurry to score, but quickly reverse in the midfield, looking for flaws in Perugia's defense.

The rhythm of the game eased down, and the reporter's cameras no longer stared at the field all the time. From time to time, they pointed the camera at Ma Mingyu and Ahn Jung-hwan on the bench, hoping to see from the faces of these two Asian players order something.

Ma Mingyu and Ahn Jung-hwan sat next to each other, but because of the language problem, the two didn't talk much, they just applauded together when the team showed color, and Ahn Jung-hwan shook his head from time to time, as if He disdains Perugia's striker, but looks helpless.

Look at the fact that Inter Milan still hadn’t scored a goal after nearly 20 minutes in the first half. This made the Inter Milan fans a little anxious. They kept shouting “Go in!” and “Go in!” to cheer for their players. .

The commentator Scarpini appreciated Cosmi's tactical arrangement, "Cosmi is very smart and he adopted a pragmatic style of play. Although their offensive is not threatening, but this season, they are playing against Inter Milan. What is the result of the team? They all lost. Of course, the defensive players also lost, but judging from the videos of past games, Inter Milan is also a bit of a headache to deal with this kind of intensive defense... Today Perugia is positive Containing Inter Milan's wing, Pieri and Ze-Maria did a great job. As long as Inter Milan has the ball, there will be Perugia's players pressing, using physical fitness for technical balance. This is to prevent strong teams The only way, but it takes great perseverance to help them accomplish such a difficult task..."

Apart from Ma Ming-ok and Ahn Jung-hwan who were sitting on the bench, Materazzi who appeared on the court was the most concerned player. After he returned to the Guri Stadium, the Perugia fans did not regret his departure, but I gave him applause and welcomed him back to Perugia as a guest.

Materazzi also showed great professionalism against his old club. Apart from giving his former teammate Frizas a chance to score in the opening stage, his defense was impeccable and never let his old team down again. The striker had a chance to shoot the goal.

On the other side, Loreto, who replaced Materazzi, also performed extremely well. Except that he couldn't compare with Materazzi in offense, his fierceness and precision in defense were not inferior to Materazzi's. .Perugia sells core players every season but can always produce new stars. Cosmi cannot be regarded as the best coach in Serie A, but he is definitely the best scout in Serie A.

The game continued, and Inter Milan still played at a leisurely pace. It seemed that they had made up their minds to compete patiently with Perugia. The other absolute protagonist, Jiang Mu, was leaning on the coach's bench all the time, looking unmoved. , Occasionally, if there is something to explain to the fans, it is also carried out by the assistant coach Baresi. Obviously, it is difficult to arouse Jiang Mu's interest in this level of competition. Although Perugia has a good defense, it is also known as a giant killer. , but Jiang Mu is very confident in defeating Perugia. Under his strong attack, no team can last more than 90 minutes.

However, when the game reached the 28th minute, there was a good news and a bad news from another arena. The good news is: the first match between Juventus and Brescia was an upset, and Brescia, who played away, turned out to be 1: 1 drew with the powerful Juventus; the bad news is that in the Rome match with Inter Milan at the same time, the leader Rome has already led Verona 10:3 in 0 minutes, and basically got three points.

These two pieces of news made Jiang Mu unable to sit still any longer. With joy on his face, he stood up and said to Baresi: "Our chance has come, Juventus has been tied."

Baresi was equally excited and said: "Yes, as long as we win, we can catch up with two more points, and the gap will become three points, one game."

Jiang Mu smiled slightly, and said: "Juventus is finished, he can no longer be our obstacle, after two rounds, we will kill them in the away game."

That's what Baresi wanted to express, but he didn't dare to say it. Seeing Jiang Mu's blunt words, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Lazio may lose this round, if AC Milan loses again The goal is to enter the relegation circle, and they must not lose this game."

Jiang Mu chuckled, and said, "It would be even better if Lazio lost, then we can be promoted to second place within three rounds, and we can directly pk Rome."
