The King of World Football Chapter 274: The Spark of Competition

The venue of the final, the Stade de France, is located in Saint-Denis on the outskirts of Paris. It is not a pure football stadium, but a comprehensive stadium suitable for various track and field purposes.

The stadium can accommodate 80,000 spectators. The 1998 World Cup final was held here, and the 2003 World Athletics Championships also ended here perfectly.

For the spectators, the feeling of watching the game in this stadium is relatively bad, because the lawn and the stands are separated by laps of runways, but it does not affect the fans rushing to the scene to cheer.

The fan bases of the two teams are very large, and their looting has made it hard to get tickets for the final. Many locals in Paris complained on the Internet.

In the luxury box on the top floor, Barcelona chairman Laporta is drinking red wine calmly, chatting with the assistant next to him from time to time, in stark contrast to Inter Milan chairman Moratti, who is walking around anxiously , The Nerazzurri have come to this point, whether they succeed in realizing their dream or fall short, depends on now!

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

The defenders are Mikhailovich, Cordoba, Samoel and Materazzi.

Back midfielder Zanetti, Makelele, Pizarro, front midfielder Ribery and Wang Feng.

Forward Adriano.

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

The defenders are Oleg, Marcos, Puyol, Van Bronckhorst.

Midfielders Deco, Edmilson, Van Bommel.

Forwards Giuly, Eto'o, Ronaldinho.

When Ronaldinho saw Wang Feng's eyes brighten, he greeted with a smile and said, "Wang, since the battle between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan, we haven't fought any more, right?"

"After losing to you last time, I am looking forward to the next match. God has treated me well and given me a strong team. I will definitely win this time!"

Facing this confident new World Footballer of the Year, Wang Feng responded stiffly: "My teammates are also very good. I believe that with their full support, I will have the last laugh!"

The spark of competition erupted in the eyes of the two, until other players reminded them that it was time to enter the stadium, the two turned their eyes away and followed their teammates into the stadium.

.........

Barcelona took the lead in the first half. Ronaldinho and Eto'o had already stood in the middle circle. Following the whistle of the Norwegian referee Hauge, Eto'o kicked the ball to Ronaldinho. The player then turned around and passed to the backcourt.

Adriano, Ribery and Wang Feng approached the front court, waiting for an opportunity to steal the ball from the opponent.

Puyol stopped the ball, adjusted it, and distributed it to Marcos on the side, and then to Deco. Seeing that there was no chance, the three of Inter Milan retreated to the center circle.

Watching Barcelona's passes and receptions from a close distance is really pleasing to the eye. Every player stops the ball very steadily.

However, Inter Milan's tactics do not require possession of the ball. They only need to hold fast while tearing apart the opponent's defense with quick counterattacks.

Deco passed the ball to Ronaldinho on the wing. Ronaldinho took the ball and immediately played a role. He used a smart oxtail to get rid of Zanetti and went straight to the Inter Milan penalty area.

The rhythm on the court suddenly became faster, Eto'o and Giuly on the horizontal line stepped in one after another, while Wang Feng and Ribery in front of them quickly returned to defense

When he came to the edge of the penalty area, Ronaldinho used a wide range of body swings to deceive Samuel, and then suddenly shot. Materazzi, who was nearby, reacted quickly and blocked the ball sideways at the first time. The ball hit him The body bounced back to the frontcourt.

At this time, Wang Feng rushed to control the ball, and Eto'o wanted to fight back on the spot, but he couldn't find any chance under his tight ball protection.

Although this attack was unsuccessful, it also exposed a problem, that is, no one in Inter Milan's defense could stop Ronaldinho in a one-on-one situation!

Mancini anxiously walked to the sidelines and shouted for the midfielders to make up for the defense in time, so that Ronaldinho could no longer pass through Inter Milan's defense as easily as crossing the road.

Ten minutes later, Barcelona had three shots, while Inter Milan still had zero shots. They were almost beaten by Barcelona on the scene.

In a blink of an eye, the Spanish giants organized another attack. It was still Ronaldinho's breakthrough from the side, and the ball was still passed into the penalty area under the siege and interception of Zanetti and Samuel.

Eto'o was responding in the penalty area at this time, and Materazzi next to him stuck him firmly, while interfering with secret small movements. This is a common trick used by defenders. As long as it is not too obvious, the referee generally does not see it. arrive.

The Cameroon striker didn't force himself. Although he is very powerful, he will definitely be able to shake off the Italian defender when he bursts out with all his strength, but after he shakes off, his shot will become non-threatening.

I saw him go back against the ball, Edmilson from the outside of the penalty area just arrived, there were no other defenders around him, Cordoba and Mikhailovich were defending Giuly from behind!

The Brazilian centre-back did not miss the opportunity, sending a volley with his right toe ~www.readwn.com~ The ball went over the head of goalkeeper Toldo and into the net.

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

"Eighty percent of the credit for this goal should be credited to Ronaldinho. After being double-teamed, he still sent the ball to Eto'o in the middle."

"The other 20 per cent is due to Eto'o's return and Edmilson's brilliant shot."

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

"Passivity in the situation and goals conceded drove the Nerazzurri to a corner."

.........

After Barcelona took the lead, they did not change their tactics and style. They still controlled the ball without haste and used pass control to penetrate the defense line. The overall appearance was very stable.

"Look at this attack, Ronaldinho pushed the ball forward, he was really flexible, passed Zanetti, and passed it to Eto'o on the side."

"Giuly, Edmilson, and Deco have all come up, and Barcelona's offense looks like a tide!"

"Eto'o returns a pass to Ronaldinho and hits the goal! The goal is in!"

"This time, it was Eto'o who entered the penalty area to lead the defense to pass back in an inverted triangle, followed by Ronaldinho and shot angrily at the ball!"

"Barcelona's offensive firepower is really too strong. With the bright trident in the frontcourt, Deco and Edmilson go forward from time to time to threaten the opponent. Inter Milan can't stop it at all!"

"As expected of the team known as the second dream dynasty, the Nerazzurri are drifting away from the championship."+Add to bookmark+
