Chapter 169 One to One
Cagliari still seized a chance to counterattack. After stealing the ball from the backcourt, he passed the ball to the frontcourt with a big foot. Aquafresca returned the header.

Then Inter Milan defender Cordoma made a header error in the middle. The opponent's midfielder Biondini inserted into the penalty area and 9 meters away from the goal. A small-angle half-volley volley missed the near corner of the goal.

"Cagliari played a wonderful teamwork in front of Inter Milan's goal! A few consecutive passes passed through Inter Milan's defense, but it was a pity that the midfielder Biondini finally completed the goal, and his footwork was a little bit meaningless."

"Hey, this Cordoba made a mistake in his judgment and shouldn't be on the top, but it is true that Cagliari's cooperation is very good. Inter Milan should pay attention to it. They can't patronize the offense and give the opponent a chance when there are loopholes on the defensive end."

In the 15th minute, Ibrahimovic's pass from the left was blocked by the opponent's central defender Canini, and Inter Milan won a corner kick.

Chivu took a corner kick with his left foot. Ibrahimovic beat Cagliari's central defender Astori with a header in the front point, but the opponent's goalkeeper Marchetti reached out to get the ball.

Samuel also suffered injuries during the summit fight with Acquafresca. The Nerazzurri central defender's right brow bone was knocked open by the opponent, bleeding profusely, and he received emergency treatment from the team doctor on the sidelines.

Inter Milan could only temporarily fight with 10 people again, and "The Rock" then returned to the field with a bandage on his head.

Fans who like Samuel gave the Argentine defender a nickname - Rock.

What does that mean?The rock symbolizes that his defense on the field is rock solid and unshakable, which can be said to be a very high evaluation of a defender.

Today, after being injured and bleeding on the brow bone, he still returned to the court indifferently, showing his true qualities of a man of iron and blood. This scene made Nerazzurri in the stands not hesitate to applaud him.

It is very interesting that the Cagliari striker Acquafresca who confronted Samuel just now was loaned to Cagliari from Inter Milan's youth team.

Born in Turin like Zhu Hantao, the 21-year-old young Italian striker began to make his mark in Italian football as early as the 2005-06 season. He was once regarded as the hopeful star of Italy
Acquafresca's excellent speed, cool head and keen sense of goal all show that he has the potential to become the next superstar.

At that time, Inter Milan even transferred half of the ownership of central defender Bonucci, who would become the iron gate of Italy's defense in the future, to the Treviso team where Aquafresca played for him.

However, due to the abundance of striker talents in the Nerazzurri team at the time, Aquafresca was unlikely to get the opportunity to play for Inter Milan and could only be loaned out all the year round. As all Inter Milan players, he never represented Inter Milan in official games.

国家队方面，年少成名的阿夸弗雷斯卡更是入选过意大利的U17、U18、U19、U20、U21、国奥等各个级别的国字号球队，并在去年随队参加了燕京奥运会。

Zhu Hantao had played against him once at that time, and in Italy's 3-0 victory over Honduras, Acquafresca scored a goal on behalf of the team.

But it's a pity, maybe it's because of wandering around for many years that Aquafresca can't get a more stable growth environment, or maybe it's because playing for small and medium-sized teams all the year round has killed his fighting spirit, and in the end this former future star can only disappear.

Today against Inter Milan, it can be seen that Acquafresca wants to perform well and hopes to get the favor of coach Mourinho and return to the Nerazzurri.

It's just that no matter from which angle you look at it, the Italian striker's strength is still a bit weaker. Not to mention the main players such as Ibrahimovic and Zhu Hantao, even the other substitute players are not competitive compared to him.

In the 25th minute, Zhu Hantao got the ball in the frontcourt. Facing the opponent's defender, Zhu Hantao tried to step on his bicycle a few times, and successfully swayed past Canini, who was about to break into the penalty area. Yeda, who was back on defense, shoveled to the ground from behind.

The referee Pierre Paoli showed a yellow card and Inter Milan won a free kick in a good position.

"Oh? We saw Zhu Hantao show off his footwork twice in front of the opponent's penalty area. This is rare. Judging from the two strokes just now, it seems that Zhu Hantao's bicycle is not bad?"

"Hey, many good forward players will ride bicycles during one-on-one, especially Brazilian players, such as Denilson, Ronaldinho and Robinho who are familiar to everyone.

What is the function of cycling, mainly to confuse the opponent's defensive players to achieve the goal of successfully breaking through.

Just now Zhu Hantao's bicycle was very good. It completely fooled Cagliari's central defender Cannini. If Yeda, who came back from the frontcourt to help the team's defense, hadn't made a decisive foul, Zhu Hantao would have broken into the penalty area and formed a single goal. "

"Let's take a look at this free kick. Inter Milan handed over the penalty to the Portuguese Figo. Zhu Hantao seems to have entered the penalty area and is ready to grab a point."

Figo's free kick from the left rib was passed obliquely, and it was still looking for Ibrahimovic. The Swede overwhelmed the opponent's two central defenders in front of the goal.

Three minutes later, Inter Milan made a comeback. Figo wanted to force a sudden attack on the right and was brought down by Cagliari midfielder Biondini. The home team once again won a free kick in a good position.

Cambiasso took a free kick at the corner of the penalty area. The ball rolled into the penalty area against the turf. Inter Milan central defender Samuel, with a bandage on his head, still rushed to grab the point.

Ghana midfielder Muntari's left-footed volley from the outside of the penalty area hit the opposing defender's leg and missed the left post.

Subsequently, Cambiasso took a corner kick on the right, and Inter Milan's central defender Cordoba in the penalty area lobbed a header over the crossbar.

In the 42nd minute of the game, there was not much time left in the first half. The home team had not been able to break the deadlock. Captain Zanetti cut inside after breaking through from the right side of the court.

Less than 1 minute later, it was Zanetti who volleyed vigorously with his right foot 20 meters in front of the goal and was pushed out of the crossbar by Marchetti.

The Nerazzurri soldiers who had been unable to attack for a long time gradually became a little impatient, and even the usually calm captain Zanetti played a little irrationally.

"Inter Milan kept on attacking, but there seemed to be no particularly threatening shots, either they missed or were directly accepted by the Cagliari goalkeeper.

Could it be that the weather in Milan today has affected the performance of Inter Milan's players? "

"It's possible. You can see that the coaches and players on the sidelines are wrapping their jackets tightly. If the weather is too cold, the players will definitely be stiffer in their movements, and if they work too hard, they will be easily injured.

Although Inter Milan has been attacking, and the number of shots is far more than the opponent, but in fact the threat caused is not great. It is still too casual to shoot from such a distance from the goal outside the penalty area.

I think Mourinho needs to blow the wind to the players at half-time, and he can't play like that in the second half. "

"Eh? Why hasn't Zhu Hantao appeared in the camera for a while?"

The host asked a very profound question, and Zhu Hantao was also thinking about what happened.

During this period of time, Inter Milan was basically holding the ball and attacking. Why didn't Zhu Hantao, who is an Inter Milan striker, even have many chances to get the ball?

The opponent's defensive players are too annoying. There are always two people to deal with Zhu Hantao alone.

So whenever a teammate wants to pass the ball, seeing Zhu Hantao entangled with two opposing players, he will definitely not pass the ball to him. However, although Zhu Hantao attracted the defense of many opposing players, it is reasonable to say that it should be for his teammates. Create space, why didn't they score a goal?
It's very simple, because Cagliari has placed a bus in the penalty area. Once Inter Milan hits the ball into the penalty area, they will fall into the opponent's defensive quagmire. They can only shoot some long-range shots from outside the penalty area, which cannot threaten Cagliari's goal at all.

In the first half, two Inter Milan players were injured and left the field to receive treatment, which delayed a lot of time. The referee Pierre Pauli gave 5 minutes of stoppage time.

Just before the end of the first half, Zhu Hantao passed through the gap between the two opponents and hit the goal with his left foot. Unfortunately, the opponent's goalkeeper Makhetti reacted very quickly and pressed the ball under him.

The visiting team immediately launched a counterattack. Marchetti threw the ball vigorously to the right-back Pisano. The young Italian full-back dribbled the ball in. After passing Maxwell, he made a high pass from the right.

At this point, the first half of the game ended at the referee's whistle, and Inter Milan and Cagliari temporarily drew [-]-[-] at home.

When they left the field, the players and coaches of the home team didn't look very good, while Cagliari was full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit. After all, they successfully defended the half and did not allow the defending champion to score first.

After the game, according to reliable sources, in the locker room of the home team, Inter Milan coach Mourinho scolded the players in the midfield, then made some tactical adjustments, and cheered for the players, asking them to win the game.

After half-time, Mourinho replaced Cordoba with a back injury for Quaresma, and Chivu returned to the defense.

"The news we got was that Cordoba was unable to continue the game due to injury, so Mourinho made substitutions and adjustments so early."

"Cordoba is off the field and Quares is on the field. This is not a match-up substitution. It seems that Inter Milan's formation has changed. Judging from the current positions of the players on the field, it should be 4-3-3 formation again."

"Yes, Quaresma formed three arrows with Ibrahimovic and Zhu Hantao in front, while Chivu, who originally appeared in the midfield, returned to the back line. I wonder if this adjustment can help the Nerazzurri change the situation on the field?"

Not long after the start of the second half of the game, in the 49th minute, Quaresma received a pass from his teammate in the middle, and after a slight adjustment, he hit the goal 26 meters in front of the goal with the instep higher than the crossbar.

Two minutes later, it was Quaresma again. The Portuguese cut in from the left and his long shot missed the back post.

"Quaresma, who just came off the bench in the second half, performed very positively and got a few chances to hit the goal, but it seems that the effect is not ideal."

"Hey, the Portuguese's personal ability is unquestionable, but it seems that he still can't play well with his teammates on the field. When the ball comes to him, he shoots a long shot, and he doesn't hit the target. He directly wastes the opportunity to give the ball to the opponent.

I think this kind of performance does not satisfy the head coach. Let's see if Quaresma can improve later. "

Inter Milan created a good opportunity in the 54th minute. Figo launched an attack from the right and sent a through ball. Zanetti knocked back before the ball crossed the baseline.

Three minutes later, Quaresma dribbled past Pisano from the left side beautifully, kicked the ball into the penalty area, and Ibrahimovic made a header 3 meters away from the goal.

"Beautiful! The goal is scored! Zhu Hantao's iconic volley! Inter Milan finally scored the first goal with Zhu Hantao's goal in the 7th minute of the game."

"This attack was the cooperation of the trio of Inter Milan's strikers. First, it was launched from Quaresma. The Portuguese passed the ball into the penalty area. Ibrahimovic grabbed the header from the front point, but he did not choose to head the ball directly.

The quality of Zhu Hantao's volley was also very high. It hit a dead corner, and the opponent's goalkeeper had nothing to do. "

After scoring the first goal of Inter Milan in 2009, Zhu Hantao ran all the way to the corner flag area, raised his hands, and enjoyed the cheers of more than 4 Inter fans who came to San Siro today to watch the match.

I just like this feeling, that's why I like playing football. Suddenly, several people rushed out from behind and hugged Zhu Hantao.

It has been too long to break through the opponent's goal. The players on the Inter Milan field are actually under some pressure. Zhu Hantao's goal also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Cagliari was intercepted by Muntari after the kick-off, Figo instigated the attack from the left, Maxwell broke through to the bottom line and made a low pass, Ibrahimovic fell to the ground in the front of the penalty area and shot with his left foot was confiscated by Marchetti.

The Swede got up from the grass and shook his head in dissatisfaction. He didn't have the strength to hit the ball. If he ran faster, he would have a chance to score.

Cagliari did not let Inter Milan be proud for too long. The visitors unexpectedly equalized the score in the 65th minute of the game. Italian midfielder Fini dribbled the ball forward and sent a cross.

Inter Milan central defender Samuel slipped and failed to intercept the opponent's pass. Acquafresca successfully stopped the ball with his chest and entered the penalty area. He volleyed with his right foot in the penalty area. The ball slipped into the goal from the left armpit of Inter goalkeeper Cesar. The score was one to one.
