Chinese champion

Chapter 367

"Go and instruct the players, don't attack again for the time being, back down a little." On Chelsea's coaching bench, Mourinho sighed, and said to the assistant coach beside him: "Return to the tactics at the beginning of the game. Defensive, counter quick."

"Huh?" The assistant coach turned his head suspiciously: "Didn't they be asked to strengthen their offense just now? And the few offenses just now were very effective, maybe they can expand the score... Changing tactics so quickly will make the players at a loss. Yes."

"At this moment, at that moment." Mourinho closed his eyes: "The morale of Inter Milan was at a low point just now, we were able to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and maybe we could expand the score, but now..." Mourinho looked at Looking at Zanetti on the field, he pouted: "That guy has already started to boost morale, it's better to be careful."

"One player can boost the morale of the entire team with a few yells? Impossible?" The assistant coach shook his head disapprovingly.

"Of course ordinary players can't, but... Don't forget, Zanetti is the spiritual pillar of Inter Milan. Although he is old, his prestige among players is not ordinary! Even the head coach Mancini He is not as prestigious as him, even if there are many undisciplined stars who are worth much more than him in the team, they still have to be convinced in front of him." Looking at the assistant coach who still has some disbelief, Mourinho has a deep meaning Added: "Just like our Terry."

******************************************
"Not enough, not enough..." Mancini looked at the game on the field with his chin in his hand, and murmured, "Not enough strength..."

After a few yells from Zanetti, as expected by Mourinho, the Inter Milan players regained their spirits and began to fight with Chelsea in the midfield, but Chelsea's defense remained the same. Stable, no matter how fierce Inter Milan's attack is, it will not move, not to mention that Inter Milan is still worried about the opponent's quick counterattack, and dare not make a big push?

"Robbie, tell me, why can't you make it in?" Mancini frowned and asked Baggio. Now the field is already the strongest lineup that Inter Milan can field now, and they are short of a suspension. Ronaldinho did not play, but there is nothing to do with Chelsea's defense. Chelsea's defensive ability is certainly strong, but Inter Milan is not a vegetarian. Even in Serie A, they score almost every game. Defense is not a vegetarian. Inter Milan can have such an offensive power in Serie A. How could it be that they have no choice but to take Chelsea's goal?
Besides, the frontcourt players are all in good condition. Pei Wei's breakthrough organization, Ibrahimovic's dribbling and Zhuang Feng's shooting are still sharp, but they just can't show the invincible momentum in Serie A. It's really good. Ghost.

"I don't know..." Baggio shook his head: "These two games were really awkward. Even seven days ago at Stamford Bridge, although we scored two goals, we couldn't play in our usual style. The second goal was a bit of luck, if the players are not in good shape...it doesn't look like it, what is it because of?"

On the field, Pei Wei swayed twice in a row, shaking Essien staggeringly. Just as he was about to move on, Ballack came from the side and blocked Pei Wei's advancing route.Pei Wei slowed down a bit, seeing Essien doggedly chasing from behind again, Pei Wei had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​continuing to carry the ball down, and passed the ball to Ibrahimovic's feet.Ibrahimovic picked and pulled the ball while catching the ball, avoided Carvalho's upper grab, and then sent the ball into the penalty area at the first time. Zhuang Feng took the ball in the penalty area, shook it and forced it under the defense of Terry Kicking the goal, Cole rushed up from the side, stretched out his foot and rubbed on the ball, the slowed down ball was firmly hugged by Petr Cech, and Inter Milan's attack came to an end.

Carvalho's long pass was blocked by Materac, and Cambiasso took the ball and gave it to Wang Xiaomin on the wing. Wang Xiaomin suddenly put in an assist from the back row. Chelsea's defense seemed to be caught off guard by him. He went straight to the bottom without any hindrance, and then passed the ball into the penalty area. After the pass, Wang Xiaomin didn't even have time to see the effect of the pass, and immediately turned around and ran back as if flying - he was afraid that Chelsea would make a quick counterattack.

"I know!" Seeing this scene, Mancini's mind flashed, and he punched his palm heavily: "God, I'm the biggest fool!"

"What's the matter? Robert?" Startled by his actions, Baggio turned his head and asked curiously.

"Our full-backs don't dare to step forward to assist, and even if they step up occasionally, they have to worry about the impact behind them, so how can they attack with confidence? And in the midfield we don't have pure full-backs, which leads to side The offensive ability of the road is not enough, only Pei Wei and the three of them are attacking in the frontcourt... How can such an attack be powerful? I am so stupid. I always emphasize being careful of the opponent's counterattack, but give up that we can compete in the Serie A vertically and horizontally. A losing tactic!" Mancini said regretfully.

Baggio suddenly realized that, indeed, in modern football, the role of full-backs has been greatly weakened, and their responsibilities are divided more by full-backs, and Inter Milan has almost abandoned the tactics of full-backs. The side attack depends on both sides!Now that the assists of the full-backs are limited, and the offense only relies on a few players in the frontcourt, wouldn't it mean that the angels have lost their wings?
Even if Inter Milan's front trident is powerful, it is only three people. Chelsea's crowd tactics alone in the penalty area are enough to trap them to death. Just like in the previous attack, Pei Wei and the other three were in In a one-on-one confrontation with the opponent, they have the upper hand, but Chelsea have a lot of people in the backcourt, and one will come up immediately after being thrown away. Even if all three of them are Maradona, I am afraid that they may not be able to find a good opportunity.

"Javier!" Taking advantage of the chance of the ball going out of bounds, Mancini stretched out his hand and called over Captain Zanetti: "Go and tell the king that the assists of the full-backs must be strengthened! Don't worry about what's behind you, let Esteban and Javier Jr. will fill your seats! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Zanetti nodded heavily. He was indeed playing very depressed. Who wouldn't be a full-back who didn't step forward to assist?Dribbling the ball five meters in the backcourt and kicking it off - that's what anyone can do!If you only need to do this kind of thing, you will be too sorry for his current worth, and it is also different from his habits.

****************************************
Just after Mancini gave this instruction, Mourinho suddenly found that Inter Milan's attack was almost twice as strong!
Zanetti, who put in an assist, took the ball from the right. Neither Terry nor Zhuang Feng could touch the middle of the penalty area. The ball flew straight to the back. Inserted from behind, stretched out his foot and intercepted the ball that was about to go out of the sideline.

After Wang Xiaomin intercepted the ball, he didn't pass it again, but dunked the ball and went straight to the penalty area!
Bolarouzi rushed up to stop Wang Xiaomin from moving forward, but Wang Xiaomin made a false bottoming move and suddenly poked the ball between his legs, and then rushed past him quickly—— Pass!
"Damn! Stop him!" It seems that Cech is not familiar with Wang Xiaomin. He doesn't know that Wang Xiaomin is a full-back who can play everything except shooting. If it is a player who has played against Wang Xiaomin in La Liga, Surely the defenders will be allowed to stare at the other players and let this guy shoot, no matter how he shoots, he won't hit it.

It's a pity that Wang Xiaomin had been playing in Mallorca before he moved to Inter Milan, and he didn't have much chance to let the major European teams know his characteristics, so Carvalho left Ibrahimovic, who he should have defended, to welcome him. Go up to stop Wang Xiaomin's possible shot.

Of course, he is not worried about leaving Ibrahimovic, because according to the tactics, when he pulls out, Ibrahimovic will be defended by Terry, and Cole will also come from outside the penalty area to top Zhuang Feng.

But Wang Xiaomin didn't pass the ball to the two of them. Instead, he dunked the ball back after Carvalho came up, and then sent the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Pei Wei was tightly entangled by Essien and couldn't get the ball, but Wang Xiaomin passed the ball not to him, but to Stankovic.

Stankovic adjusted his pace while running, so that he could lift his foot to shoot immediately after approaching the rolling ball, and immediately volleyed after the ball flew over!
Terry, who found he had been fooled, tightened his body to block it. At the same time, Cech also quickly blocked the near corner and flew out.However, the ball missed the goal post slightly, flew out of the baseline, and then hit the billboard behind the door heavily, making a bang.

There was a loud sigh in the stands, and then the fans of Inter Milan began to applaud enthusiastically. Although the goal was missed, they saw Inter Milan's familiar offensive style, which was more important than anything else.

2 minutes later, Inter Milan made a comeback. Cambiasso directly dropped the ball into the penalty area in the midfield. Terry headed the ball to make a clearance. Pei Wei pretended to cut inside, and after attracting Cole's attention, he suddenly knocked the ball to Zanetti who was on the back. The ball flying towards the center circle was pushed down by Materazci again, and then directly handed over to Wang Xiaomin on the left. Inter Milan continued to attack.

"Very well, let's keep playing like this." Mancini extended his thumb to the field.

********************************************
In the rest of the first half, Inter Milan's attack became more and more fierce, and Chelsea's defense began to be a little bit too much. When Luck's pass was ready for a quick counterattack, Mascherano rushed up from the side immediately, a fierce tackle, and the ball was shoveled out of the sideline.

Although the defenders left by Inter Milan are only Materac and Burdisso, two players who are not fast, but Mascherano and Cambiasso, the Argentine midfielders, have not made much progress and have been behind. Those who are ready to fill the position, especially Mascherano, he is young and has good physical fitness. Under such circumstances, he can be better than Vieira in the position of filling the position, not to mention his speed is not slow.

When Chelsea counterattacked, all he had to do was destroy, try to destroy the ball as much as possible, as long as he could delay the opponent's attack for a short time, it was enough for his teammates to return to defense.

As long as Chelsea's quick counterattack is prevented from fighting, Inter Milan is really not afraid of the opponent in the positional battle. Whether it is fame or strength, how can Inter Milan's defense line be among the top few in the world, right?

What?You said that the goal just now was scored in a positional battle?Hey, that's a typical volleyball, isn't it?If it didn't happen that the ball flew to Shevchenko's feet...

Inter Milan attacked very hard, and Chelsea couldn't fight back. The midfielder's pass to Drogba and Shevchenko was completely blocked by Inter Milan. Most of the time, the midfielders were blocked by Inter Milan. The offense was suppressed in his own half, basically unable to pass any good balls for the forwards, even if they were passed, they were just long passes. Going back, Drogba, who is ten centimeters shorter than Materac, can still compete with Materac by grabbing the position in advance, but in the frontal high-altitude ball competition. He is far from Materac's opponent. Although Ruben has speed, he basically can't get the ball-what's the use of such a fast speed?

When the full-backs added assists, Inter Milan's offense began to become more layered. If one attack fails, there will be two, and if two offenses will fail, there will be three times——Chelsea's defense is almost unable to support, and it begins to be shaky and precarious. ——But at this time, the referee's life-saving whistle sounded, and the first half ended, Chelsea got a precious breathing time.

It wasn't until the referee's whistle sounded that Mourinho's tense nerves were relieved. Just now Inter Milan attacked too hard and almost scored goals several times. If it wasn't for Petr Cech's brave performance and luck With the help of Chelsea, the gate has been breached long ago. For the first time, Mourinho felt that the scene was out of control. If it hadn't been for the precious intermission, he didn't even know that Chelsea's defense could last for a few more minutes.
