Mancini crossed his arms and stood upright on the sidelines. Although the temperature was close to 30 degrees, he was still wearing a neat suit and a blue and black Inter Milan scarf. Bookmark this site┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛

His face was stern and his eyes were deep, and no one could see a trace of secret from his eyes. People who don't know think that his team is falling behind or at a disadvantage.

In fact, it is Inter Milan who are bombarding Liverpool indiscriminately.

At this time, the game time has come to the 35th minute. Inter Milan has already had 9 shots, 4 shots on target, and Liverpool has 4 shots, all of which are long-range shots, and only 1 shot is on target.

Inter Milan accounted for 57% of the ball possession rate. In fact, Inter Milan is not a team that is good at ball possession. They have been used to relying on super forwards to solve problems in the past few seasons. It is only after the arrival of Mancini and Veron After that, the possession of the ball was increased.

However, just one season of training has not been able to brand ball control into the genes of Inter Milan. Most of the Nerazzurri's games this season are still passing through the midfield quickly and looking for super forwards to create threats. Except at the beginning of the season Outside of the Valencia game, it was rare to see them patiently maneuvering the ball in midfield.

When you have super forwards like Ronaldo, Vieri, Adriano, and Ricardo on your front line, a through pass can solve the problem, why waste time by playing around with the ball? Don't blame Inter Milan's simple, rude and impatient style of play. It is true that the Inter Milan attack group headed by Ronaldo is too strong.

In this game, because Liverpool was fully suppressed, almost all the players except Smicer and Baros were huddled in the penalty area to resist Inter Milan's offensive with difficulty, so Inter Milan's ball possession rate naturally increased .

Mancini looked at it for a while, then turned his head and waved at Ricardo. Licado immediately jumped up like a spring on his buttocks and rushed over.

"Look at the current game situation. If I replace you, how do you think you can play to open up the situation?" He seems to be interested in testing Ricardo.

Ricardo said without hesitation: "Breaking the dense defense is nothing more than using the high center forward to make a fuss, or finding space to hit a long shot through pass scheduling on the outside, or using the player's personal ability to create a set kick. We don't have a high center forward, so we can That leaves only the latter two options, and I happen to be good at both."

Mancini looked at Riccardo quite unexpectedly, obviously he didn't expect this young man who was not yet 19 years old to say such sharp words.

He nodded: "But Adriano's long-range shooting and personal dribbling ability are also very good, so why should I send you on the field? And his height, weight and post-handling skills are also enough to be a high center forward .

"

Ricardo smiled: "Although Adriano is tall, he is not good at playing the ball. In terms of height and headers, Liverpool's tall defenders will not give him a chance. He is really good at High-speed rush outside the penalty area, use speed and strength to throw off defenders, violently crack the opponent's defense, and is not good at fighting the opponent's muscular defenders in the penalty area."

Mancini couldn't help nodding again and again. Ricardo's words were very thorough, almost reaching his heart.

At this time, the commentator also saw this scene on the sidelines, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "Did Mancini plan to send Ricardo out so early? Now the game time is only more than 30 minutes, the substitution is too early. And Inter Milan now has an absolute advantage, and it has not yet reached the point where it must take the initiative to change."

However, Mancini seemed to just want to hear Ricardo's understanding of the game. After asking Ricardo another question, he asked him to go back and sit down, without any intention of sending him out.

Riccardo was a little frustrated, but he soon cheered up and continued to watch the game.

The time quietly came to the 41st minute.

Liverpool made a counterattack. Harvey Alonso made a long pass from the front of the penalty area to find Baros. Baros and Cordoba failed to reach the ball. However, when turning around to chase the ball, Cordoba firmly stuck in his position, ran to the football first, and made a barb clearance.

But the ball was not kicked far, and it happened to be in front of Smicer.

Smicer jumps up to stop the ball with his chest, flicks across to avoid C. Zanetti's tackle, and then dribbles forward.

C. Zanetti immediately pursued, using both hands and feet to interfere with Smicer's dribbling. Smicer's dribbling speed is not particularly fast, but his physical confrontation ability is very strong. He carried C. Zanetti, entangled with the ball and ran for more than ten meters. At a distance of about 30 meters from the goal, he Suddenly kicked a long shot.

The ball flew past Mikhailovich and seemed to have a physical contact with Mikhailovich, causing refraction. Toldo had already jumped to his left, but the ball bounced to his right. He could only look at the ball and sigh, watching the ball into the net.

1:0, the Liverpool people who have been suppressed took the lead in breaking the deadlock!

All the players on the Liverpool bench jumped up to celebrate, and the "You never walk alone" fluttering above the pitch was even more passionate and full of power.

"Smichel's goal! He gave Liverpool the lead with an unexpected long shot," the commentator sighed, "This is the unpredictability of football. During the pre-match analysis, everyone believed that Inter Milan was stronger and had a higher chance of winning. This was also confirmed in the first 35 minutes of today's game. Inter Milan has been suppressing Liverpool. It seems that Liverpool will lose sooner or later. But surprisingly, it was Liverpool who broke the deadlock first !"

"Smichel is still young, and his long-range shots are still so threatening! His contract ended at the end of the season and has not been renewed yet. After this season, he will leave on a free transfer. Seeing this scene, I don't know Will the Liverpool management change their minds and renew his contract?"

Inter Milan's players were a little swollen and couldn't believe it. Obviously our side has an absolute advantage, leaving Liverpool powerless to fight back, why did they suddenly fall behind?

"It doesn't matter, one goal behind is nothing, we will equalize soon. Let's cheer up, continue to attack, and try to get back before the end of the first half!" Captain Zanetti clapped his hands and loudly encouraged the players.

Ronaldo stood near the middle circle with his hands on his hips, without making a sound. He is more used to speaking with actions than words on the court.

You can rarely see Ronaldo complaining or appealing to the referee after being kicked down by the opponent. He is always silent and returns to his opponent with a goal.

Ricardo stared at the silent Ronaldo and clenched his fists. Dadado, let's break out, let's bring the Champions League trophy back to Milan!
