They didn’t even take a single shot.

Much ado about nothing.

Finger looked at the stalemate, suddenly missing last year’s Talista.

Even without a chance, as long as the ball was given to Talista, he would create opportunities.

Then the teammates would move forward, and everyone would be threatening.

One begets two, two begets three, and three begets everything without difficulty.

Inter’s difficulty now is this process of going from zero to one.

This is also the so-called ”first million is the hardest to earn” theory in economics.

Bang!

Seeing no opportunity, Finger prepared for a long shot.

However, Kaint’s defensive awareness was too strong.

His brain’s sensitivity to defense far exceeded normal people, and his main consciousness was very willing to trust his brain’s judgment.

Kaint went down early with a sliding tackle, successfully intercepting the ball without touching Finger.

Finger dived, but Kaint dodged Finger’s body impact.

This was almost a textbook example of a clean robbery!

The main referee couldn’t possibly call a foul on Kaint, no matter how much pain and anger Finger showed on the ground.

Kaint passed the ball to Morici.

Bang!

Morici didn’t even turn his head, directly side-footed a super-fast pass shot!

His move was becoming more and more skillful, and this speed-up ability was precisely what Finger envied most—the ability to break the zero-to-one stalemate.

In the front field, Talista smoothly received the ball under the opponent’s defense.

Inter’s defenders were getting goosebumps.

Damn!

They had been teammates with Talista for a year.

No other group of defenders in the entire Italian League knew Talista better than they did.

These players would rather play back-to-back league matches than play internal training matches against Inter.

Because facing Talista was just too disgusting.

This sly player used every trick in the book, from hard-hitting collisions, invisible pinches, elbows, trash talk that made people sick, to close encounters that made straight males feel uncomfortable...

Sure enough!

Talista carried the ball slowly, completely different from Bai Zhami who just wanted to break through with speed whenever he got the ball.

Bai Zhami felt like he was saying: Don’t come over, get lost, I’m overtaking!

While Talista seemed to say: Come on, come over, I dare you to come over!

Seeing Talista about to enter the penalty area, Inter’s center-back could only rush out.

Talista had already half-turned and was ready for the confrontation.

After a collision, Talista executed a fine move by heel-flicking the ball through the legs and passing the opponent.

Truly, a fierce tiger beneath a cherry blossom.

Talista charged into the penalty area.

Another Inter center-back also rushed over, as did the full-back.

But Talista wasn’t intimidated at all.

Quick shot?

No way!

If you can play bumper cars, why play a shooting game?

Next, Talista began his ball protection saga.

The opponent was afraid of committing a foul in the penalty area and didn’t dare to exert force, so Talista almost steamrolled through, anyone who collided with him was knocked away.

Moreover, Talista had excellent footwork and ball control.

It seemed like a long time, but actually, it was just Talista having the chance to shoot in the penalty area but choosing not to, opting to showcase his skills instead.

Damn it.

Missing one or two tackles could be understood.

But as it happened more, Inter’s center-backs lost their temper.

Cut the crap!

You think you’re Real Madrid’s Lima or Barça’s Moreira?

Plus, with Talista’s occasional elbow strikes.

Who could hold back their anger?

Bang!

An Inter center-back executed a decisive slide tackle, intending to kick the ball away with a bold move and tell Talista, this is Meazza!

”Ah!”

Talista fell to the ground with a cry.

The Inter center-back instantly knew he was in trouble.

That bastard!

He actually had the energy to accelerate and kick the ball away first!

”Oh! Talista was brought down! And this is in the penalty area!”

”Talista is rolling on the ground, he seems to be in great pain!”

”Frankly, his actions are a bit exaggerated.”

”But the Inter center-back did not hit the ball, he hit Talista’s ankle.”

”The Inter center-back tried to pull Talista up, but Talista forcefully slapped his hand away and continued to clutch his knee... huh, wasn’t it the ankle that got kicked?”

”Doesn’t matter, Talista did put on a show, but the foul by the Inter center-back was solid, the main referee saw it all clearly.”

”Penalty! The main referee awarded a penalty! It’s a deserved call, Inter can’t dodge this penalty, the main concern now is what punishment the center-back will receive.”

”What! Red card! The main referee actually showed a red card! The Inter center-back has been sent off!”

”No! This penalty is too harsh! Is the main referee influenced by Talista’s performance?”

”Not influenced, such a move warrants a red card in the penalty area without any problem. But Inter’s fans and players all think the main referee was influenced by Talista.”

”Listen, the whole stadium is cursing Talista.”

”Inter players rushed over, surrounding Talista.”

”The sent-off Inter center-back seemed to have said something nasty, Talista jumped up from the ground, menacingly pointing at the opponent, seemingly threatening him to say it again!”

”San Remo’s players also came over, causing chaos in the penalty box.”

”Finger also rushed over, directly knocking Talista to the ground! Oh, that’s definitely a card-worthy action!”

”Lu also arrived, pushing Finger to the ground with both hands, before turning to block Talista, who wanted to retaliate against Finger.”
