Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy First Cesar Meritorious Service

Penalties and red cards are irreversible. After a while, Inter Milan accepted this fact. When AC Milan was about to take a penalty kick, Mourinho asked Materazzi to warm up and prepare to replace Balotelli.

This is also a no-brainer. Milan is very strong and the score is behind. It is conceivable that no matter whether the penalty can be scored or not, they will attack vigorously. Inter Milan must maintain the integrity of the defense.

Mourinho has considered letting Gao Xiaodong play as a central defender, but it is too risky to play Sneijder, who has just been transferred for a day, at this time. Mourinho can only let Materazzi play. Consider letting Sneijder play again in the second half.

field

Ronaldinho stood in front of the penalty spot, and there was a tsunami of boos in the stands.

Inter Milan fans don't hate Ronaldinho, but this penalty angered Inter Milan fans, and they transferred this anger to Ronaldinho.

Facing his compatriot Cesar, Ronaldinho showed full confidence. After a small run-up, he directly kicked and shot the lower left corner of the goal.

Cesar was also full of confidence when facing his fellow player Ronaldinho. As soon as Ronaldinho's foot touched the ball, he flew and threw it. The direction was the left side when the national team and Ronaldinho were training together.

Boom!

The ball hit Cesar's outstretched palm and bounced off the baseline.

Cesar excitedly got up from the ground, raised his arms and shouted towards the court.

The Inter Milan players were all ready to concede the ball. Unexpectedly, the penalty kick was saved by Cesar. The ecstasy flooded everyone's minds. All the players ran to Cesar together, throwing Cesar Thrall hugged tightly and pressed against the turf.

The players on the bench also rushed out excitedly. Everyone clenched their fists and roared, venting their dissatisfaction with the referee's decision just now.

Mourinho was more excited than the players. He punched the air fiercely, as if he was going to hit someone, "Cesar! Good job! It's not so easy for us to lose!"

Ronaldinho smiled wryly and shook his head regretfully. He had already made a tricky penalty for this ball, but Cesar still threw it out unexpectedly.

Leonardo on the sidelines covered his face. He regretted that he did not change the order of penalty kicks before the game. Ronaldinho and Cesar are fellow countrymen, and both sides are familiar with each other. The pressure of penalty kicks must be great. If Let Pirlo take the penalty, maybe the goal will be scored.

The penalty kick saved by Cesar has greatly improved the morale of Inter Milan. Originally, due to consecutive unfair penalties, the Inter Milan players were very angry and their mentality was very unstable. Now they still have a one-goal lead. The mentality of Milan's players has stabilized a lot.

When AC Milan was about to serve a corner kick, Inter Milan made a substitution adjustment. Materazzi came on and replaced Balotelli.

Balotelli was very dissatisfied with being replaced, but the person who replaced him was his big brother Materazzi who was frightened and frightened. Balotelli couldn't express his grievances to Materazzi. After arriving at the bench, he took off his combat boots and fell hard to the ground.

Mourinho saw Balotelli clearly, but he deliberately pretended not to see it.

AC Milan's corner kick was taken by Beckham. Although Beckham's full-moon scimitar was sharp, Inter Milan's air defense ability was not weak.

Ambrosini grabbed the landing point, followed by a long shot, but Ambrosini didn't hold it down, and the ball flew high into the stands.

Cesar kicks in and the game continues.

After Lucio was sent off, Inter Milan played one less player and took the lead. Gao Xiaodong also retreated from the position of the front midfielder to the position of the midfielder to assist the defense. The positions of Pandev and Milito Changes have also taken place. Milito is at the top, and Pandev is behind Milito, playing in a nine and a half position. Inter Milan's formation has changed to 4311.

Although AC Milan did not score a penalty kick, they had one more player, and their strength was slightly weaker than that of Inter Milan.

Now the strength has surpassed Inter Milan, and the offense is even more unscrupulous.

As Inter Milan shrank the defense, the ball was mainly at the feet of AC Milan. They passed continuously around Inter Milan's 30-meter area, constantly tugging at Inter Milan's defense, trying to find loopholes in Inter Milan's defense, but Inter Milan's defense is very tight, and the formation is constantly changing with the passes of AC Milan players. AC Milan has never been able to find a flaw in Inter Milan's defense.

In the 35th minute of the game, when the ball was passed to Beckham's feet, Beckham was tired of his teammates harassing the pass around the perimeter, so he directly passed the ball to the penalty area to find his striker Boleno.

Beckham's simple, direct and accurate pass suddenly changed the rhythm. Inter Milan's players were caught off guard and were robbed by Boleno.

Gattuso's offensive power was terrible, and no one in Inter Milan defended him, but he rushed to the front of his penalty area unexpectedly.

No matter how weak Gattuso's offensive power is, he is still a world-class player. In any case, he cannot be allowed to kick at the front of the penalty area, let alone penetrate into the penalty area. Cambiasso decisively shoveled Gattuso at the front of the penalty area.

The referee Rocky blew his whistle, showed Cambiasso a yellow card, and awarded a free kick.

After missing a penalty, Ronaldinho gave up the right to take the free kick and handed it to Pirlo and Beckham.

Beckham saw that he was too close to the goal and there was no room for the curve ball to fall, so he gave up the penalty and handed the ball to Pirlo.

The ball was just one step ahead of the goal line. Even Pirlo couldn't kick the deciduous ball he is best at, so he could only ask Ronaldinho to dial it for him, and he volleyed vigorously.

Ronaldinho dialed it and shook the wall, but Pirlo's vigorous volley still hit the defender and bounced out.

AC Milan has a lot of people, the second point still falls into the hands of AC Milan players, AC Milan continues to attack.

Because Beckham's long pass created a threat just now, AC Milan's players also began to try to find Boleno with high-altitude balls, causing chaos in Inter Milan's penalty area.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Pirlo made continuous adjustments from left to right, and then Beckham suddenly made a long pass across the half to find the full-back Abate on the other side. The ball is passed to the penalty area.

When Abarth passed the ball, Ronaldinho suddenly stepped forward in front of Materazzi, shaking his head and attacking the goal.

Ronaldinho's header skills are limited, and no one would have thought that he would head the ball. Materazzi couldn't dodge it, and the ball hit Materazzi's hands again.

Ronaldinho immediately raised his hand to signal Materazzi's handball.

The referee Rocky also saw Materazzi's handball, but he had previously awarded a red dot package, and now if he is awarded a yellow dot package, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get out of the Meazza Stadium today.

Although the handball was more obvious than Lucio's, Rocky pretended not to see it and let the game continue.

The booing against the referee in the stands was less, but the AC Milan players quit. They all came over to say that Materazzi had handballed and asked the referee Rocchi to give him a yellow card and a penalty, but the referee Rocchi ignored it. .
