Chapter 215 Stopping in the Semifinals
Chapter 215 Stopping in the Semifinals
"Quagliarella almost just a little bit worse" San Elia Stadium, the second round of the Coppa Italia is in full swing.
The youth of Cagliari also showed their vigor and strength. After returning to their home court, these young players of Cagliari played more tightly and calmly, and even faintly suppressed Lazio in the scene.
Quagliarella's shot just now was the interpretation after the opening. Now that the game has progressed to 10 minutes, Cagliari has already had six shots, while Lazio has only three.
However, the score on the field was only 0:0. Although Cagliari had the advantage, it was always a little short of the goal.
As for Quagliarella's shot, Peruzzi had already given up, but the ball did not fly to the goal in the end, and it flew out of the baseline after rubbing against the goal post.
Before Quagliarella, Milito also had a good shot. The Argentine's pass from his teammate in the penalty area was passed by Stam and he pushed the far corner to the post.
"Cagliari's young players have proven how good they are." The Coppa Italia has played so far, and the growth of Cagliari's young players is obvious to all.
Gaining power without scoring, Cagliari still had the advantage in the following time, but it was still a little short of scoring.
Whether it is a long shot or a strong shot in the penalty area, or even a header from a corner kick, there is no way to break through Lazio's goal.
Moreover, Lazio's old goalkeeper performed very well in this game. Although there were two waves that failed to react in time, the other attacks were all blocked by Peruzzi to block Cagliari's shot.
Compared with Peruzzi's bright performance, Pantanelli on the other side is much quieter. Of course, the main reason for Pantanelli's silence is that Lazio does not have many offensive opportunities.
But when Lazio attacked the hinterland of Cagliari again, Pantanelli became the background board of Lazio's attack, in the No.205 minute of the game.
An unreasonable long-range shot came from Stankovic. Lazio scored in the hinterland of Cagliari. Fiore broke through from the side and passed back to the center. Stankovic directly shot an angry shot without making any adjustments.
Although Pantanelli reacted well, in fact his reaction was still a step slow. While completing the save, the ball had crossed the goal line and flew into the goal.
Suddenly, Stankovic's goal was so sudden that Cagliari couldn't react to it, and Li Yi was still talking to Cardinic.
But even if he reacted, Li Yi was helpless. After all, long-range shots like Stankovic sometimes couldn't be stopped at all, so the most important thing for Cagliari was to bring the situation back in the next game.
"You're still young," Li Yi commented to his disciples after the game restarted.
In the last game, Cagliari was able to stabilize the goal because there was still a second round, but now there is no way out, and this is the semi-final. For young players, the final of the Coppa Italia is a dream stage.
But now, they are on the trailing side. If they can't recover the score, then there will be nothing for them in the final.
So in this case, the young players of Cagliari were anxious, eager to recover the score quickly, so that the offense on the field began to become chaotic.
What is the result of this?The offensive efficiency was greatly reduced. From the restart of the game to the next 10 minutes, although Cagliari counterattacked very violently, in fact there was no chance to really threaten Lazio's goal.
And that's not counting, Lazio took the opportunity to play a wave of offense. If it wasn't for Pantanelli's concentration, he might be 0:2 behind now.
Although no ball was conceded in the end, at the end of the first half, Cagliari failed to recover the conceded ball, and in the last ten minutes, the two sides also reversed the situation. Cagliari played more and more chaotically, while Lazio played more and more smoothly.
"Guys, take it easy. You still made it to the semi-finals. No matter whether you make it to the final or not, you have done a good job. It's so good that most Serie A teams would be ashamed." After returning to the locker room, Li Yi persuaded.
Substitution?
It's not that Li Yi didn't think about it, but in the end he gave up on this idea. From the first round of the Coppa Italia, Li Yi saw the progress of these young players. This is also the reason why he repeatedly broke his original idea and still did not change the main force in the semi-finals.
And the current situation is still a rare experience for young players. After all, this group of young players has won too much so far this season, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to lose a game now.
As for the final and championship of the Coppa Italia, it doesn't matter if Li Yi's eyes are higher than the top, he really doesn't like it, especially after seeing hope in the league, he doesn't care about the Coppa Italia even more.
Besides, even if no adjustments are made, as long as Cagliari's players on the field can calm down, they will have a chance in the end. After all, their performance has been very good before.
"Oh Surprisingly, the head coach of Cagliari didn't make adjustments." What is Li Yi's impression on the long side?
The reaction was quick, as long as there was any bad sign on the field, Li Yi would immediately stand up and make adjustments.
In the first half of the game, there was no need to say anything about Kayaria's situation, but Li Yi didn't make any moves.
You know, during the halftime break, almost everyone believed that Li Yi would replace with one or two veterans, especially the midfielder who controlled the team's rhythm.
"It seems that the young man in Cagliari is very confident in his players" This is the final explanation of everyone.
Afterwards, the performance of the Cagliari players did not disappoint Li Yi. Although they didn't want to take the initiative in the first half, they were not chaotic, and they were not at a disadvantage.
But as time passed and Cagliari couldn't score a goal, the Cagliari players became eager again.
At this time, Lazio seized the opportunity. In the No. 706 minute of the whole game, Lazio played a quick counterattack.
Stam broke the ball off Quagliarella before launching a quick counter-attack that sent the ball to Albertini, who sent a long pass to Corradi.
The header was ferried, and Corradi overpowered Gamberini and pushed the ball outside the Cagliari penalty area. At this time, Pantanelli hesitated, and he did not choose to attack at the first time.
This also made him miss the best time to attack. Inzaghi went on the field quickly, and finally grabbed the ball before Lamy, and then directly dribbled the ball into the penalty area and kicked hard.
