Even Mourinho didn’t think Lazio’s attack was a big deal.
Although this is a counterattack, most Inter Milan players are all in their defensive positions. What’s the use of such a counterattack?
He didn’t even get up from his seat.
It is a constant winner, standing up from the squatting situation and staring at the stadium nervously.
He was keenly aware of the opportunity.
He hopes that his players can also perceive this opportunity.
That’s because Lazio is fighting back, and they have the space to sprint and run. Although this space is not much, it is enough for Lazio to use.
As long as you run, you can create a goal opportunity that belongs to Lazio!
Other teams may only run more and more disorderly, but Lazio won’t!
Constant victory has such confidence.
……
Modric received a pass from the backcourt. He turned around and gave the football to the front. At the same time, he also completed the turning adjustment.
Just after he turned around, he saw the Inter Milan players in front of him. It was obvious that Inter Milan was divided into two lines in front of him, an avant-garde line and a defender line.
But these two lines are not closely related, and there is a gap between them.
Maybe this is Lazio’s chance?
Modric thought in my mind.
But how to take advantage of this opportunity?
He saw cavani pulling from the peak position to the rib.
He passed the football.
But whether cavani thinks so or not, he doesn’t know, so he has to take a gamble.
Cavani pulled back to catch the ball in order to be as close as possible to his teammates.
But in this way, he also turned his back to the attack direction, and there was no way to turn around. Because behind him is Inter Milan captain Sanetti, who is keeping a close eye on him.
Zanetti is experienced and not easy to cheat.
I want to fight alone with the ball on my back, and it is too difficult to pass Zanetti.
Cavani chose to pass the ball.
But he didn’t pass the football to modric, who was cutting forward.
Modric’s side followed by Cambiaso.
When Cambiaso saw modric’s forward insertion after passing the ball, he knew that he wanted to play one-on-one with cavani. Naturally, he could not easily catch the ball and pass it, so he had to follow him.
So he followed.
But cavani didn’t pass the football back to modric, but to cazorla nearby.
After passing the ball, cavani turned and ran forward, and Sanetti went to pounce on cazorla.
Cavani gave it to the central defender behind him.
Cazorla didn’t stop the ball, but before Sanetti could get in front of him, he passed the football out again.
This time it was a 15-meter oblique pass, and the football was stolen from the middle.
After cavani pulled at the ribs, Gotze made up the middle.
At the same time, balzaretti cut into the rib from the side.
Lazio moves as a whole, whether attacking or defending, and it is necessary to ensure that the distance between each player cannot exceed 15 meters at the farthest.
You can never see the frontcourt players running forward while the backcourt players are standing still.
Every player can have at least three tees on the court.
Therefore, Lazio players are not afraid of encirclement.
After passing the ball, cazorla moved sideways and moved closer to Gotze.
It seems that he wants to establish more contacts with Gotze.
Cambiaso followed modric for a while, but he didn’t continue to follow.
Because he was afraid of being taken out of his zone by modric.
Now cazorla leans towards the middle, which makes him sure that the real purpose of modric’s forward insertion is to take him away from the position of the lower back and provide opportunities for cazorla.
So he stopped tracking modric and turned to cazorla.
