Super Marshal

Figo is gone!

This is the conclusion agreed by fans all over the world when Figo transferred from Real Madrid to Inter Milan.

Galaxy Battleship is the focus of attention of fans all over the world. After leaving this platform, and at the age of 32, no one would believe that Figo can still perform much. Serie A pension.

Can't afford to buy popular superstars, dig some outdated superstars, which is also in line with Inter Milan's consistent transfer strategy.

For example, the original Batistuta.

But at the first press conference after joining Inter Milan, Figo publicly stated that he did not come to retire.

"Both Gao Han and Guardiola told me that in Inter Milan, I can regain the feeling of playing football when I was young."

At that time, everyone thought it was just a polite talk, and no one would believe him.

But in the end, after a few games, Figo shattered everyone's glasses.

From the original winger to the central midfielder in the middle of the midfield, Figo almost didn't need any running-in, and he completed the entire transformation naturally.

Without the fast and frequent back and forth sprinting and running back and forth on the side, after moving to the middle of the midfield, Figo's performance did not decline but increased. important one.

After several outstanding performances in a row, some people even began to comment that the 32-year-old Figo and the 30-year-old Veron together formed Inter Milan's dual-core midfielder and became the soul of the Nerazzurri.

Now, no one will say that Figo is dead!

Figo is also very fortunate that when he decided to leave Real Madrid, he chose Inter Milan and Gao Han.

Gao Han understands him and trusts him.

In Inter Milan's tactical system, the position of central midfielder can maximize Figo's exquisite assists, outstanding reading ability of the game, and his amazing one-on-one success rate.

More importantly, he has become very complete, whether it is defensive or offensive, can contribute, and even his amazing free-kick skills can be used from time to time.

Figo really has a feeling that this transition will greatly extend his career, and he can continue to play like this in the next few years until he can't play anymore.

Yes, he is old and his body is not as good as it was then, but he has become smarter.

He has a sharper tactical sense than anyone else. He appears on the court and watches the game situation where you come and go. He knows everything better than anyone else.

Even if the opponent is the powerful Juventus, even if he is facing top players like Nedved, Vieira and Emerson.

Before coming to Inter Milan, Figo was very puzzled why Guardiola would be so determined to learn from Gao Han. With Guardiola's achievements and status, as long as he speaks, some teams will train him, but Guardiola Are you afraid that you will not be a successful head coach in the future because of your football achievements?

But after coming to Inter Milan, Figo understood.

Gao Han is indeed different, he can always see things that others cannot see, some trivial details.

Just like Vieira and Emerson, everyone says that they are the strongest double midfielders in the world, but in Gao Han's view, although the combination of these two players is very comprehensive and balanced, they are not complementary.

Emerson always lags behind, but Vieira's position is more flexible. Going forward, he can play as a central midfielder, or even a midfielder, and invest in the frontcourt attack; lagging behind, he can form with Emerson. Double defensive midfielders consolidate the team's defense.

This looks perfect, doesn't it?

However, when Vieira moved forward, Emerson dragged himself to the end, defense was a problem, but when Vieira retreated, the defense was solid, but offense became a big problem.

Capello's intention is very clear, with Vieira to determine Juventus' offense and defense.

But in Gao Han's view, this is very problematic, because when two people think about things, there will always be times when their thinking is not unified.

Even if it is two players who have a good understanding of each other, when encountering an emergency, it is impossible to respond as efficiently and uniformly as one person's decision-making.

Therefore, Figo's role in this game is to be a nail that is firmly nailed between the two players.

After the opening, Juventus pressed very tightly, hoping to compress Inter Milan's ball possession space as much as possible and prevent the Nerazzurri from creating a threat. Staying in Juventus' defense line, the midfielder took advantage of pass control and firmly grasped the possession of the ball and the situation of the game.

Moreover, they maintain a compact formation in the midfield all the time. Once they switch to defense, the midfielder immediately actively presses down. Figo is in the front position, threatening Emerson, and Veron is holding Nedved and compressing Juventus. The space for the two core players of Sri Lanka to hold the ball suddenly made it more difficult for Juventus' poor passing and receiving cooperation, and they kept losing the ball.

In order to avoid Inter Milan's strangulation in the midfield, Juventus had to frequently launch long passes to find Trezeguet and Del Piero in the frontcourt, but under the joint marking of Vidic and Cannavaro, the long pass Biography loses almost all effect.

As a result of the constant loss of the ball, Inter Milan's ball possession advantage is more obvious.

Cambiasso, the Redondo II, dragged in the backcourt and became the starting point for the team to organize and plan the offense. At the same time, he was out of the range of Juventus' midfield oppression. Vieira and Emerson did not dare to take it easy. Leaving the defense zone and pressing forward, Capello can only let Nedved and Camoranesi control Cambiasso.

But in this way, Inter Milan's winger is alive.

Figo, who is in the front position, can participate in the attack of the frontcourt at any time according to the situation on the field, especially the attack of the ribs.

In the eighth minute, it was a cooperation between Figo and Adriano in the ribs. The latter shot a long shot from 20 meters in front of the goal and hit the right post, scaring the entire Alpi Stadium. All trembling.

But just three minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled in from the left, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic made a low shot with his left foot 18 meters in front of the goal, but the ball was not strong and was easily confiscated by Buffon.

In the 14th minute, Figo swung his sleeve and went up by himself. After dribbling the ball in the middle, he suddenly hit the goal, but was blocked by Thuram. After that, Figo dribbled the ball on the right rib and was stretched by Vier Leg tripped, the latter was also given a yellow card by the referee.

Since the opening, Inter Milan has firmly grasped the situation of the game and firmly suppressed Juventus in the half.

Even in the 15th minute, the Bianconeri didn't even take a shot, which is a shame.

But the fans at the Alpenstadion didn't complain at all, because they were more worried.

Although Inter Milan mostly shoot from long range, Ibrahimovic, Adriano, Cristiano Ronaldo and Veron are all good long-range shooters. Who knows when they will be blasted into a goal?

But as an opponent, Figo likes this feeling very much and enjoys this kind of game very much.

He clearly knows his responsibilities, trusts his teammates very much, and at the same time changes the trend of the game according to his own understanding, which gives him a great sense of accomplishment.

He had a hunch that the team was only a little short of scoring a goal.

As long as you can enter the penalty area, you can score a goal!

…………

…………

"We have to strengthen our defense on both sides, and the opponent often gets two-on-one opportunities."

In the coaching area of ​​the home team, Galbiati frowned and reminded.

Inter Milan completely suppressed Juventus after the opening and decided the trend of the game. Juventus just blindly responded passively.

Why doesn't Capello know?

"Figo's position is too lively!"

Garbiati felt a little helpless.

Regardless of the large number of people in Juventus' midfield and backcourt, Inter Milan has also invested a lot of troops. It looks very crowded, but Figo is like a cunning loach. He can shuttle freely in the crowded crowd and always appear in the deadly place.

Why are Inter Milan's wingers often able to gain a two-to-one advantage?

The decisive factor is Figo!

In the Juventus team, there are only two people who really have one person to change the situation of the game.

One is Mutu, who is now on the bench, and the other is Del Piero, but he didn't perform well in this game.

Nedved and Camoranesi are both offensive and defensive players, but not strong one-on-one.

In contrast to Inter Milan, the personal abilities of the players are too strong.

Ibrahimovic sits in the middle of the frontcourt, Adriano plays on the right, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Figo are even more one-on-one weapons, making Juventus very passive.

Ten minutes into the game, there was not even a single shot. This is the best proof.

"Let's retreat!" Capello said reluctantly.

As an experienced head coach, he clearly sees that Juventus' defense has retreated to the front of the penalty area. Once the opponent enters the penalty area, they may lose the ball at any time.

He is very clear that, with the characteristics of Juventus, conceding the ball first means completely losing the initiative.

If you don't want to lose, you have to press out to play, but once you press out to play, Juventus will only expose more loopholes.

Therefore, he chose to retreat.

…………

…………

"It's just a little short!"

In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Gao Han squinted his eyes, paying close attention to the situation on the field.

It has been 20 minutes now, Juventus has fully retreated, Inter Milan has the upper hand, and the two sides are facing each other offensively and defensively.

"As long as we can break into the penalty area, our chance will come." Cantarero judged.

"Yeah." Guardiola also agrees with this judgment, "but Juventus' defense is too tenacious. We attacked Adriano's point before, but they quickly deployed and stabilized. position."

This caused a stalemate between the two sides.

Everyone knows that as long as Inter Milan's offense can advance by one more point and enter the penalty area, the Nerazzurri will score a goal, but Juventus is sticking to the last line of defense to prevent the Nerazzurri from rushing.

At this time, the situation is unpredictable and may be reversed at any time.

Inter Milan really scored, that is a goal, but if they can't attack for a long time and there is a mistake, it is very likely that Juventus will seize the opportunity to fight back.

All in all, very worrying.

"Then fight them!"

Gao Han walked directly to the sidelines and gestured towards Cristiano Ronaldo, signaling him to move to the left as far as possible to pull away the Juventus defenders, and at the same time let Figodo penetrate to the left side to gain a chance .

After explaining, he immediately entered the coaching system and started using skill cards.

With a six-star attack card and a five-star assault card, he can't beat Juventus' goal if he doesn't believe it!

And Gao Han's every move on the sidelines immediately affected the thoughts of all the fans in the audience.

Everyone knows that Gao Han's golden signature is his unpredictable on-the-spot command, scoring goals as soon as he adjusts.

This time, facing the impregnable Juventus, will it still work?
