Chinese champion

Chapter 353

Mancini would not be indifferent to seeing Wenger bring out the last three strikers. Samuel came on the field and replaced Ibrahimovic. This freed Materac to deal with the tall and strong Argentine. For Debayor, Cordoba and Samuel will be given the job of dealing with Henry.

On the surface, Mancini's move was a little conservative, replacing a striker with a defender. In fact, although there was one missing striker, it happened to liberate Pei Wei, so that he didn't need to return to defense. Pei Wei took Ibrahimovic's place. With his speed and impact, Inter Milan's counterattack not only did not weaken, but strengthened.

The essence of defensive counterattack is not in "defense", but in "counterattack".

No team can rely on defense to never allow the opponent to score, because players are human after all, and humans will make mistakes. Unless there are 11 robots playing on the field, there will never be a goal. ball team.

"Chain defense" is a tactic that is very helpful to defense on the football field, but it is also a tactic that consumes a lot of energy. As mentioned earlier, the essence of "chain defense" is to form a superior force in the area where the ball is present. Players who come to encircle the opponent, one can't play two, two can't play three, when the opponent uses continuous passes to leave this part, it has to rely on the hard work of the players to make up for it, so that the physical strength of the players Consumption is obviously staggering.

Even the Italian team can only use this tactic in a relatively small number of games, otherwise the physical reserves will be exhausted in less than half of the season, and Mancini's use of this tactic in this game is only in the game. It was only in the second half, and it was still used because the two goals were in his hands. Mancini's idea was to solve the opponent as much as possible in the away game, and then he could play in a more labor-saving way at home.

Five minutes after replacing Samuel, Mancini replaced the vice-captain Cordoba with Burdisso. Although the Colombian is tenacious, he is old after all, and he is not the same as Zanetti. Physical strength is good, so when the game lasted for more than 5 minutes, he already had cramps.

However, Arsenal's physical strength is not much better. Such a high-density attack not only caused the physical strength of Inter Milan's defenders to drop very quickly, but even their offensive players' physical strength was also exhausted. Now both sides are gritting their teeth and struggling. The most important thing is to see who can't hold on first.

Henry ran to the midfield to get the ball, and after a quick run away from Cambiasso, it was passed to Van Persie on the wing, who then passed it back to Rosicky, who again crossed the ball to Bapp in front of the penalty area. tista.

A series of exquisite cooperation made Inter Milan's defense a little loose. As I said just now, the fear of the chain defense is that the opponent will pass the ball back and forth. The defenders on the defensive side cannot create a numerical advantage so quickly.

Baptista raised his foot to hit the goal, and Vieira rushed over, but Baptista just dunked the ball, and then suddenly and skillfully passed the ball to Henry who happened to be inserted into the penalty area.

Henry didn't even make any adjustments. He didn't want to give Inter Milan's defender any time to pounce, so he directly raised his foot and volleyed the far corner of the goal!

The ball flew towards Inter Milan's goal against the turf, and Cesar flew to save it, but because Henry's shot was too sudden, he only had time to touch the side of the ball with his fingers, and the ball still flew firmly to the far corner of the goal !
Wenger almost stood up and raised his hands to cheer. Unfortunately, luck seems to be on the side of Inter Milan today. The ball touched by Cesar's hand changed its direction slightly, and it just hit the post and bounced back. Cesar Er turned around just in time to see the ball rolling towards him, and hurriedly pressed the ball under his body.

"Damn it!" Wenger covered his face and yelled. No matter how accurate Inter Milan's shots were, no matter how accurate his shots were, he couldn't score!

Too much luck!This is the thought in the mind of almost all Arsenal fans.

However, if a team wants to succeed, in addition to strength and mentality, luck also accounts for a large part. If it were not for bad luck, the Dutch team would not be called the "uncrowned king".

Take the recent World Cup champions as an example. Although they won the championship with their strong strength, if luck had not favored them at a critical moment, they would not have become the final victors.

In France in 98, the quarter-finals were about to be dragged into overtime by Paraguay. If it weren't for Blanco's classic strike, I'm afraid even French fans would be unsure about overtime and penalty shootouts. In the quarter-finals against Italy, if it wasn’t for Baggio’s volley and Italy’s inability to take penalty kicks, France would have been in bad luck. In the semi-finals against Croatia, they also relied on full-back Tula in the case of conceding a goal first. Tom's two goals overtook the final, and the final was outrageous. Brazil's absolute core Ronaldo actually fell ill before the game and finally led to France's three-goal victory!
Although Brazil won the championship in 02 without any controversy, except for England, they did not encounter any traditional strong team before entering the final, while the final opponent Germany lost the core Ballack before the game!
Not to mention Italy in 06, if it weren't for Grosso's "soul possession", they might have been eliminated without even reaching the quarterfinals.

Can you say that there is no element of luck in the above?

At least in this game, Inter Milan's luck is indeed good.

After Henry's shot, Rosicky made another sudden shot after getting rid of Cambiasso in front of the penalty area. Cesar didn't even have time to react, but unfortunately the ball almost touched the goal post and flew out of the baseline. The Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium let out another big sigh.

Wenger is getting more and more anxious. Now Arsenal has abandoned everything and is attacking. Only Senderos and Toure are left behind to defend. The others are pushing up, but they just take it all. Gaining an advantage but not scoring a goal, if the opponent counterattacks again... Wenger dare not think about it anymore.

But what is respectable is that Arsenal has never given up on offense. If they change to another team, they may give up on offense and pin their hopes on a miracle in the next game.But Arsenal are still putting strong pressure on Inter Milan's defense, and the whole team has only one thought: attack!attack!Attack again!Goals are the first goal!As for the outcome of the game, we will wait until the game is over.

With this mentality, Arsenal's offense was still fierce even at the end of the game. Wenger was also infected by this momentum. He replaced the full-back Eb with the young player Walcott, and the four forwards!Wenger is crazy.

"Counterattack! Counterattack!" Mancini, who had been very calm since the start of the game, began to stand on the sidelines and commanded. He shouted loudly: "Use counterattack to suppress their attack! Do you understand?"

Now Arsenal's offensive momentum is too crazy. If they don't dispel the opponent's arrogance, even if they have a two-goal advantage, they may disappear in an instant.

Now the defenders are supporting themselves completely with one breath. If a ball is lost at this time, it is likely to cause a chain of vicious circles, and many giants will suddenly collapse.

Fabregas rushed up with the ball. He first shook Vieira, who was already out of breath, and then passed the ball straight to Henry's feet in front of him!
A figure suddenly rushed over from the side, stealing the ball!
Wang Xiaomin appeared where he should be, and immediately passed the ball to Pei Wei in front!

At the same time, Zhuang Feng and Xiao Luo also activated at the same time!

Pei Wei rushed to Arsenal's half in the blink of an eye from Toure. Toure was taken aback. He didn't expect that Pei Wei's speed was much faster than he imagined.

But he seemed to have overdone it, and behind him, the ball was falling downwards.

"It's okay." Toure comforted himself in his heart. Under such circumstances, Pei Wei could only turn around first to control the ball, and then he could stick it to prevent him from turning around. choose to foul.With such a buffer time, our team members should be able to be in place.

But he immediately saw a scene that horrified him. Pei Wei suddenly kicked his heel while running and swung the ball sideways to the other end of the field!
In high-speed running, he can accurately judge the landing point of the ball and make such an unimaginable pass, which can only be described as "magic and miraculous"!

Zhuang Feng's running in the middle attracted Senderos' attention. After receiving the pass from Pei Wei, Ronaldinho was completely unguarded, and rushed into the penalty area with a few strides!
Facing Lehman who was attacking, Ronaldinho took the first step and stabbed the ball in front, and the football immediately rolled over under Lehman who had not had time to throw it down!

Ronaldinho jumped up and avoided Lehman's body, then caught up with the ball and kicked the empty goal hard!
The Emirates Stadium is silent again!

3: 0!

"3:0! Gentlemen! There is no suspense in the game! At Arsenal's home court, [-] fans were humiliated! Inter Milan only used three counterattacks to give Arsenal three loud slaps! And Every time they counterattacked, only three or four people participated! Today Inter Milan played the essence of Italian football's defensive counterattack to the fullest! The game ended early!"

The ESPN commentator shouted frantically, and with his shout, the same cheers broke out in various bars in Milan:

"Long live! Inter Milan! Long live! The era of the great Inter Milan!"
