Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 173 Take the initiative to change formation!The goal is victory!
Inter Milan quickly took the lead in the away game, which made the Korean media collectively climax.

"Chen Xiaoliang lost in the Nerazzurri's midfield strangle"

"The Reds are completely defeated in the confrontation with Barella"

"Europe's Wateriest Golden Boy?The Golden Globes may lose credibility! "

"Nothing for a full 14 minutes, Mourinho flattered Chen Xiaoliang, Roma is facing defeat"

A large number of negative headlines with similar meaning appeared on the social accounts of Korean media, and many Korean fans are still leaving messages:

【That's it?I don’t even deserve to lift shoes for Son Heung-min]

[If this can win the Copa Award, then Sun Xingmin will definitely win the Golden Globe Award]

[Playing against two weak teams and racking up some statistics, you want to call yourself a first-tier star? 】

Of course, there are also sensible Korean fans who refute them:

[Before playing Tottenham in London, Chen Xiaoliang fought with Sun Kai for a whole game, at least under his defense, neither of them had a chance]

[Chen not only has statistics against weak teams, but also performed very well against Lazio, Fiorentina, Milan and Juventus, not to mention that the two games against Manchester United last season were also one of the best players on the field]

The discussion outside the court became more and more heated, and the game on the court seemed to have really started.

Roma's advance speed has become faster, and Inter Milan's overall defensive formation has also shrunk tighter.

But Brozovic and Barrera kept running, sweeping, and intercepting in the midfield, so that the two wings of Rome were still unable to effectively transmit the ball into the penalty area.

There was loud thunder and little rain, and the data of the shots on goal stayed at "0" embarrassingly.

Can't even touch the goal, where's the goal?
Vinia and Wellertu's frequent high-ball passes did not work. Under the dual air defense system of Bastoni and Skriniar, Cesko was hard to beat with two fists and four hands, even if he could barely compete. To the top, it is impossible to make a powerful header shot or a precise ferry.

Zaniolo, who is not good at competing for headers, can only wander around. Either he can't pass the ball, or he is targeted by Barrera or Brozovic as soon as he catches the ball.

Although he is 190 cm tall, he is fast and good at dribbling, but these are all based on the premise that there is a certain amount of space, and although he looks tall, he has no advantage in physical confrontation.

In the already compressed space in Inter Milan's backcourt, and the closest of the two aggressive midfielders stepped up to defend closely, Zaniolo's characteristics and abilities could not be reflected at all.

Obviously, Inter Milan's coaching staff and analysis team have done sufficient research, not only on the tactics of the Roma team, but also on each player.

However, Mourinho is not an ordinary person, he is still one of the head coaches who have won the most important championships in the history of Europe.

In terms of being a head coach, Inzaghi, who only started as a first-team coach in 2016 and has only won two Italian Super Cups and one Coppa Italia, may not be qualified even if he wants to be Mourinho's apprentice .

Although the past few years have been unfavorable, Mourinho has gradually fallen behind in the number of trophies competition with his old rival Guardiola and has a tendency to never catch up, but the aging Portuguese madman has a slightly restrained personality. But the number of hearts and minds in the stomach has skyrocketed geometrically.

Inzaghi will study his team, and he has naturally made detailed preparations for Inter Milan.

On the sidelines, after a cross from Viña was destroyed, Mourinho raised his right hand and compared a number of 4.

Rome began to change.

In the 18th minute, Binia threw the ball out of bounds on the left side, Wei Letu stepped forward to catch the ball, Chen Xiaoliang suddenly started and sprinted to the left side of the ribs!

Barrera followed closely!
Weiletu goes straight!
The more Barrera chased, the farther he was, and his speed was obviously not as good as Chen Xiaoliang!
Seeing that he was about to catch the ball on the left side outside the penalty area, D'Ambrosio, who was the right center back in this field, came up to defend.

Chen Xiaoliang catches up with the ball and passes directly with his left foot!

Bastoni and Skriniar in the penalty area are ready!
They knew very well that Chen Xiaoliang and Sesco's side-to-center connection was the most threatening offensive method for Rome!

But this ball... how did it fly outside the penalty area?
Cesco retreated from the penalty spot facing the ball, Bastoni stayed in the penalty area, and Skriniar still followed Cesco closely.

Coming to the top of the arc, there is also his teammate Brozovic.

Sesco leaps high, ready to head the ball!

Skriniar did not take off.

In this position, so far from the goal, there is still no inertia bonus for retreating to fight for the top. It is impossible to form a threatening header.

As a 26-year-old main central defender worth 6500 million euros, his judgment is not wrong at all, and as he expected, Cesco's header did not have much speed.

But the one with the speed is a figure that inserted obliquely in the penalty area!
Cesco's retracement turned out to be for the header ferry!
"In the box, it's Zaniolo!"

"Only Bastoni is guarding him!"

"Zaniolo adjusted the ball to his left foot"

"Bastoni blocks with his foot!"

"Shoot!"

"Handanovic saves the ball!"

"The 37-year-old Slovenian goalkeeper saved the team!"

"Roma won a corner!"

On the left, Wellertu chose a quick tactical corner kick. In order to prevent Inter Milan from playing a quick counterattack, Roma's defense high points did not step forward to participate in the attack in this corner kick attack.

The ball was passed back to Binha to reorganize the attack.

Cesko, who was originally active in the restricted area, completely withdrew from the restricted area.

Although Skriniar was still following him, Bastoni couldn't find an object to defend for a while.

Just now Zaniolo's shot flew to the left of the goal, and Handanovic made a sideways save.

Inter Milan, who almost lost the ball, realized that Roma's offensive routines had changed.

The director cut the camera to Zhang Kangyang in the auditorium, accompanied by club director Ausilio.

Zhang Kangyang's expression was serious, and he completely lost the excitement of raising his arms and shouting when his team scored a goal.

The authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. At this time, Inzaghi Jr., who is on the sidelines from the perspective of "God", and his assistant coach Faris seem to have seen the routine of Rome's evolution.

But it's just a threatening attack, they have to look again to confirm what medicine is sold in Mourinho's gourd.

On the wing, Binia, who received a tactical foot ball, returned the ball to Christante who was further back.

The Italian took possession of the ball and waited for a while, then kicked a long pass directly forward.

This time it's Sesco!
He retreated to the top of the penalty area again, and with Zaniolo's shot that almost missed the ball just now, this time Skriniar did not dare to rush out of the penalty area uncontrollably to press against the defense, but Stayed in the penalty area and watched Cesko's every move.

Although Brozovic, who defended Sesco, is not short, he is 181 centimeters, but he looks particularly petite next to Sesco, who is 195 centimeters.

And as a defensive midfielder who regards endurance, running and interception as housekeeping skills, handling high-altitude balls is not his strong point.

Cesko hardly encountered any obstacles, so he easily leaned against Brozovic and returned it to Chen Xiaoliang who had been waiting for a long time with his head.

Chen Xiaoliang hit the ball with a straight kick!
The ball went through the narrow gap between Brozovic and D'Ambrosio!

Wellertu, who did not retreat to the midfielder after the tactical kick just now, ran back and received the ball on the left side of the penalty area!

Seeing that the line of defense was torn apart in an instant, Inter Milan's defensive players in the midfield immediately returned to the goal as if the tide was ebbing!

Seeing that D'Ambrosio and Dumfries were about to rush to his side, Weilertu didn't dare to stick the ball, and took the angle to pass the ball in an inverted triangle!
Zaniolo again!

He specifically selected the area defended by D'Ambrosio to insert, and Barrera nearby had to take care of Chen Xiaoliang while retreating. Brozovic's speed couldn't keep up with him. D'Ambrosio blocked Weller just now. Tu didn't have time to turn around, the area seemed to be a vacuum!
Zaniolo adjusted to his right foot this time, aimed at the upper right foot of the goal, flicked his ankle, rubbed his arch, and kicked a curved ball!
Handanovic didn't react!Watching the ball draw an arc in front of him!
The cheers of the Roma fans in the stands have already poured into their throats!

"Ugh!!!"

The cheers suddenly turned into sighs!
The ball hit the post and flew out of the baseline!
The substitutes and coaches on the sidelines were all sympathetic, and Zaniolo himself frowned.

Zhan Jun: "Brother Jianxiang, Mourinho's gesture just now seems to be clearly asking the players to change their tactics. Sesco on the field at this moment reminds me of a player Mourinho once coached!"

Huang Jianxiang: "Who is it?"

Zhan Jun: "Belgium's air fighter, Fellaini, the explosive head in Everton and Manchester United!"

Huang Jianxiang: "It's very similar when you put it that way. I remember that Mourinho was at Manchester United for a while, as long as he couldn't start the offensive, he would send Fellaini on the field.

Let him receive a long pass from the backcourt at the front of the penalty area, use the header ferry to create opportunities for the striker, or if it doesn't work, just rush into the penalty area to compete for the top like a center forward and score with a header. "

Zhan Jun: "That's right! Facing Skriniar's defensive dominance in the penalty area, Cesko took the initiative to withdraw from the hinterland and played aerial work with Inter Milan's midfielders. But Brozovic and Ba Leyla's biggest weakness is the high-altitude ball.

If Skriniar follows up, there will be a vacuum in the penalty area; if he doesn't follow up, no one will limit Cesko's powerful aerial capabilities!
Both attacks were almost broken!If Zaniolo's shooting skills were a little better, I am afraid the score would not be 0 to 1! "

Huang Jianxiang: "Look at how Inzaghi Jr. changes."

On the sidelines, Inzaghi Jr. was discussing with Faris how to deal with it.

The method has been put into the plan long ago, and the players have been specially trained, but whether it will have other negative effects has to be weighed.

Faced with Faris's strong suggestion, Inzaghi finally nodded in agreement.

Instead of thinking about potential threats, it's better to address the big ones that are imminent.

When Handanovic was about to take the goal kick, Faris yelled, and the Inter players immediately understood.

They're not new recruits, they're defending champions.

Although the two hits just now were quite dangerous, they couldn't scare them away.

The defense has encountered some troubles, and the offense has to continue.

Handanovic made a short pass to Brozovic, who passed it to Barella.

The hot Italian midfielder was watching, and Chen Xiaoliang charged towards him.

This is a head-to-head confrontation!
Then the system beeps!

【dong dong dong】

[Old Enemy Detected: Nicolo Barrera]

[Enemy Mission: In this game, the enemy's passes, steals, interceptions, headers, and assists are all less than the host's and no goals are scored]

[Restrictions: After the game, the player's score, the enemy's score is lower than the host's score]

[Mission Reward: 1 legendary star cards of the team where the enemy belongs]

The content of this task is obviously different from the previous match against Vlahovic and Chiesa!

It is no longer required that the opponent has no goals and no assists, but that all five statistics are lower than yourself!

After all, a midfielder is different from a striker. He will not score or assist in every game. It would be unreasonable to use the same task content as the previous two rivals.

And the requirements of this task are also equivalent to comparing the two midfielders who is more comprehensive and who plays a greater role on the field!

Take the mission!

Chen Xiaoliang's already high fighting spirit rose several percent in an instant!
This kind of confrontation is interesting!
In the past, the confrontation between two forwards was more of a confrontation between offense and defense, but now, it is a contest between two midfielders in the same position, similar style of play, and similar style!
Although he felt Chen Xiaoliang's menacing approach, Barrera did not panic.

He pulled the ball back, ready to pull a safe distance to the right and distribute it to Dumfries on the right.

Chen Xiaoliang had already predicted Barrera's actions through the phantom produced by the man-marking attribute. He stretched his left leg and tackled the ball that Barrera passed out silently!
"what?!"

Barrera's heart was shocked!
His sudden and unsloppy short pass was actually destroyed by him firmly!
Fortunately, he did not have physical contact with Chen Xiaoliang, and immediately retreated to control the rolling ball, while Chen Xiaoliang got up as quickly as possible and chased it again.

Varela dribbled to the middle, trying to get rid of Chen Xiaoliang's defensive range. Chen Xiaoliang pressed close, and the skill of "good at close defense" automatically took effect!
Varela and Chen Xiaoliang fought hard and refused to give in to each other.

Chen Xiaoliang withdrew his force, and Barrera's force suddenly lost its support. He staggered and slowed down a step. He hurriedly poked the ball back to Brozovic before he fell to the ground. Pass the ball to the left.

Inzaghi couldn't help shouting from the sidelines: "Don't stick to the ball! Pass the ball as soon as possible!"

Barrera felt depressed, and wanted to refute a few words, but held back.

After all, it is the head coach!

As a midfielder with a strong sense of teamwork, he has never been a stickler for the ball, but he also wanted to pass the ball just now, but Chen Xiaoliang didn't give it a chance!
Huang Jianxiang: "The two fought! Both of them tried their best in the back and forth just now! One tried to steal the ball, and the other tried to control the ball!"

Zhan Jun: "In the past when Barrera transferred the ball, I seldom saw such a scene. Under Chen Xiaoliang's close pressing, he seemed a little embarrassed. If it was replaced by Pogba, who likes to stick to the ball, it would be no surprise. !"

On the left, Perisic received the ball, and Ibanez turned sideways to calculate the distance, preventing him from protruding inward and blocking his route to the bottom.

It has to be said that Ibanez's unexpected appearance in this position has indeed had a considerable impact on Inter Milan's left attack, especially Perisic himself.

The Serbian is not young anymore. At the age of 32, his physical condition is not as good as that of Dzeko and Pedro. Although he still runs at full speed, his speed is still excellent, but for a breakthrough winger, the first few steps are not as good as those of Dzeko and Pedro. His peak years have slowed down a lot.

Facing Ibanez, if he chooses to wade through people one-on-one, he is not sure.

But luckily he has help.

In Inter Milan's midfield trio, apart from Brozovic's solid midfielder in the middle, Barrera and Calhanoglu have no specific restrictions on their offensive positions.

Especially the Turks, who are elusive in the frontcourt, wandering around, always ready to play their super last pass ability.

Perisic encountered difficulties today, and he appeared much more frequently on the left.

At this time, Perisic slowly pushed forward a few steps, and then pushed with his right foot to Charhanoglu who came to support him. The latter turned around and made a push to the middle. This is the defense zone of Christant.

Christante's speed is slow, but Charhanoglu's speed is about the same as him, on par.

Kristante didn't go up for the grab, but just blocked Charhanoglu's passing space.

I saw Charhanoglu suddenly send a through pass to the bottom line of the penalty area. Ibanez and Kristante were taken aback, and Perisic was still in place.

This is not two over one... who is it passed on to?
to whom?Pass to their offensive core!
Lautaro rushed diagonally, and Mancini couldn't catch up with him at all!

He is the veritable fast among Inter Milan's strikers, one high and one fast!

Lautaro received the ball 1 meter inside the penalty area on the left, and Mancini was still chasing him with long legs!
The Argentine striker adjusts the ball to his right foot, which is in his favor.

Seeing the teammate in the middle, that is, the "high" plug in, he directly kicked the ball and passed it!
"Lautaro kicks in and crosses!"

"Middle road Dzeko keep up!"

"There was Smalling in the front and Kumbra in the back!"

"Dzeko takes off!"

"The ball was passed a little low, and Smalling touched the ball first, pushing it out of the penalty area!"

Lautaro sighed "Oops" when he saw that his pass was just a little bit short of an assist.

He looked towards the restricted area.

Maybe my kick just now was not a low pass, but just the moment it spread, what I was thinking of was the little black fat guy hidden in the deepest part of my heart.

His height is 2 centimeters shorter than Dzeko's, and his cross is probably 2 centimeters shorter.

I can't help it, I'm used to it, and I still can't help but follow the muscle memory of last season when I kick.

It's just that the little fat man still doesn't seem to be used to returning to London this time, and the fans there don't love him very much.

Also, the Brits in London are not as amiable and tolerant as the folks in Milan.

Every time I contact him, when I hear him say that everything is fine, I always think of the scenes of last season, and I feel a little sad.

If he was still here at this time, he would definitely turn around in the restricted area, show his white teeth to me, and then show a strong thumb.

Although the veteran transferred from Roma is also a long-established figure, the three-month run-in is still a bit short.

In order to help him adapt here, I had to pull to the wing frequently, pass the ball and assist him like the little fat man.

I don't know if there is a chance to reunite with the little fat man. He is not in the team, my assists have dropped a lot, and the happiness after scoring a goal has also decreased a lot.

But life has to go on, and this ball must be won.

In this way, when the little fat man is having a bad time in London, I can say to him:
"Go home, let's fight again hand in hand, I'll catch your backfoot kick-off, and I'll see your burst pass."
