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

Chapter 225 Confrontation!Mourinho's heart hate!
Mourinho originally did not want to implement this plan so quickly.

This was originally a plan to be used next season when playing against strong teams for the Champions League and the league.

The name of this plan is "Superstar Project".

And this superstar is Chen Xiaoliang.

Since sending Chen Xiaoliang to Rangers, Mourinho has been watching his growth.

Like Gerrard, he is very aware of the talent contained in Chen Xiaoliang, and this season, he has witnessed the transformation process of a defensive midfielder into an all-around midfielder.

He is well aware of Chen Xiaoliang's offensive ability, long-range shots from outside the penalty area and headers from behind. , and definitely belongs to the level that can be obtained
But he has been useless, but according to the characteristics of the opponent, Chen Xiaoliang is constantly changing positions between the central midfielder and the midfielder, using his defensive ability and passing ability.

It's not that he doesn't want to use it, but that he deliberately suppresses it.

Because once a player's ability is fully demonstrated, he will become the object of careful study and rigorous targeting by opponents.

Even ordinary fans know this, facing those superstars, which point should we focus on defending them.

For example, you need to double-team against the peak Messi to prevent him from protruding. Facing the peak Ronaldo, you must find a way to cut off the passing route for him in the midfield. Facing De Bruyne, the first thing to distinguish is the De Bruyne in Belgium or the one in Manchester City.

Once Chen Xiaoliang fully unleashes his offensive ability this season, it means that the opponents will definitely arrange special defensive arrangements for him next season.

But Mourinho did not expect that he would have the opportunity to compete for the league championship in his first season in Rome.

And it's so tight.

He thought for a long time, and finally decided that instead of looking forward to winning the championship next season, it is better to seize the opportunity that is close at hand!

So he specially arranged the opening scenes of the game.

Long shot, long shot, long shot.

Of course, he also has an element of gambling. If the first few long-range shots are ineffective, not only will he not be able to deter his opponents, but he will also give away the ball in vain and damage his own confidence.

But he was right.

Although Chen Xiaoliang failed to score a goal with three consecutive long-range shots, each kick made the entire Inter Milan team sweat.

If a goal is compared to death, then sometimes what scares opponents more than death is that they are hovering on the verge of death but don't know when they will die.

It's like a person walking on a glacier, every time he steps down, the ice surface makes a crackling sound. When he is glad that he didn't fall in this step, he is afraid that the next step will make himself irreparable.

Like walking on thin ice, like facing an abyss.

In this way, everyone in Inter Milan knows that in addition to defensive abnormalities, Chen Xiaoliang can also play through balls and pull side passes, can directly threaten the goal outside the penalty area by himself, and can even rush into the penalty area to compete for headers .

Even more tricky, what separates him from the usual playmakers is that his speed, confrontation, running and stamina make most midfielders unable to prevail against him one-on-one.

This will raise a question for the head coach of all teams, how to use marking and space compression in the midfield to limit his performance.

And those who can "enjoy" this kind of exclusive and targeted arrangement are naturally the treatment only those superstars have.

This was the case with the free kick just now.

Chen Xiaoliang's running outside the penalty area involved the defense of two opponents and the attention of four people, which greatly reduced the pressure on his players in the penalty area when facing the opponent's defense.

This can be said to be Mourinho's "unplanned" trick launched in order to compete for the championship.

Of course, he is also very satisfied with the role played by this "accidental" effect.

Even Mourinho sometimes wonders whether Chen Xiaoliang's short-range shooting and small technical defects are deliberately hidden by himself.

However, Inter Milan, as the defending champion, is also sitting at home, and obviously won't mess up because of a conceded goal.

Although the defense has not been fully adjusted due to Chen Xiaoliang's "mutation", but in the offense, they still carried out the established tactics in an orderly manner.

In the 29th minute, Pellegrini cut in from the right and a long-range shot was blocked by Handanovic. De Vrij directly scored the ball to the left. Dimarco dribbled forward and Zaniolo chased after him. .

Next, Inter Milan played a very exciting set of cooperation.

DiMarco cut in along the left flank and passed the ball forward just as Zaniolo was about to catch him.

Perisic, who played as a left midfielder, didn't catch the ball, but put his left foot on the pad, and directly picked the ball to Barrera's feet not far in front of him.

Chen Xiaoliang blocked, Barrera didn't dare to procrastinate for half a point, and directly passed the ball back to Charhanoglu who was plugging in.

The Turkish midfielder's subsequent kick on the run proved to everyone watching this game why he can firmly occupy a main position in the Nerazzurri.

His through ball rolled forward quickly about 35 meters, passing through the gap between Wellertu and Matic, and accurately found the man who had run to the middle and succeeded in anti-offside beside Mancini De Vries.

When the ball was passed forward from the backcourt just now, Lautaro had already advanced in the middle. His run directly attracted the attention of the two central defenders in Rome.

No one expected that an opponent's right midfielder would be killed in the diagonal stab.

De Vries ran all the way at the moment, caught up with the wonderful pass that was passed just right on the penalty area line, and then took a step to make a slight adjustment. Before the attacking Patricio jumped in front of him, he shot with his left foot!

The ball went between Patricio's legs and rolled into the far corner against the turf!

Lou Yichen: "I didn't expect it at all! In less than 4 minutes, Inter Milan evened the score in a high-speed counterattack!"

Liu Yue: "The backcourt continued to rely on hitting the wall to quickly guide the ball to the midfield, and then Calhanoglu's deadly through ball directly tore through Roma's seemingly unfocused defense."

"De Vries was also very calm with that last push, and it hit Patricio's wicket."

Lou Yichen: "Oh, the replay shows that Ibanez, who was delayed by the ball, was too far behind, and the other two defenders, Malaysia and Mancini, retreated 3 meters in front of him. There was no offside pressure on Inter when Calhanoglu passed the ball."

Liu Yue: "The central defender has always been a shortcoming for Roma. It is okay in positional warfare. Relying on the number advantage, the filling of the midfielder and the retraction of the full-back, as well as the height of the central defenders themselves, they can be relatively calm. But once it comes to the stage of quick retreat, the shortcomings in speed and reaction are repeatedly caught by the opponent."

Lou Yichen: "Lautaro, who wasted an empty goal just now, has made up for it. In this counterattack, he alone attracted the attention of the opponent's two players, creating a huge space for De Vries' sudden appearance."

On the sidelines, Mourinho, who was complacent half a minute ago, became frown again at this moment.

No matter how fiercely a genius fights in the frontcourt, he can't stand up to a few idiots who are embarrassing in the backcourt.

However, it was only the 30th minute, and the score of 1 to 1 just meant that it was back to the starting point.

Sesco kicked off from the middle circle and the game continued.

Inter Milan, which has tasted the sweetness in the quick counterattack, continues to make all possible attempts to speed up. When one of the two wingers gets the ball, the other side will come over to support it, increasing the receiving points in the center to move forward as soon as possible. advance.

Although Perisic's speed and breakthrough ability are not as good as his peak with age, but facing Celik, who is also not good at speed, and even Rome's slow central defender, his dribbling can still be played. Make a certain threat.

In the 32nd minute, Barrera received Dzeko's header from the line of the penalty area, and was caught by Patricio.

Immediately after the 33rd minute, Roma immediately counterattacked with a long pass. Zaniolo, who did not return to defense, got the ball from the right side of the front court and directly rushed into the penalty area. The ball had already rolled over when Scott fell to the ground and poked the shot.

The two sides continued to engage in rapid offensive battles almost in such an undefended situation, and there would be quick pushes between each other every few minutes.

In such a situation, the fans were elated and excited, and the commentary was spitting and dry.

In the 37th minute, Barrera fouled Celik in defense, and Roma got another free kick on the right front.

This time, Charhanoglu stood directly beside Chen Xiaoliang, and behind him was Varela who was ready to help defend at any time.

The penalty area is still crowded, and Wellertu, who was ignored last time, has also been closely guarded by Perisic this time.

Pellegrini kicked off, and this time he still lobbed the ball into the penalty area.

Lou Yichen: "It's still the last point! Cesko appeared there again!"

"De Vries and Skriniar double-team defense!"

"Break the ball!"

"Dumfries rushed out to chase the ball!"

"Get the ball before Zaniolo!"

Liu Yue: "It seems that Rome's set-piece tactic has been practiced many times in training, but Inter Milan is obviously also strengthening their response."

Before Liu Yue finished speaking, Inter Milan's counterattack had already passed halftime!
Lou Yichen: "Hey! Let's see!"

"Dumfries dribbled the ball and saw Chen Xiaoliang rushing towards him, and immediately distributed the ball to the left!"

"Lautaro catches the ball! An emergency stop on the run! The point goes to Brozovic who comes in from him!"

"5 against 5 in the frontcourt! Roma's retreat speed is also much faster than before!"

"Brozovic in the box!"

"There is Mancini in front of him!"

"Cut inside!"

"Pretty!"

"beautiful!"

"The 39th minute! Inter Milan scored another goal from the Croatian midfielder Brozovic! The score was reversed to 2 to 1!"

Liu Yue: "Roma's defense has problems again. Mancini retreated quickly this time, and Weiletu in front of him has also retreated into the penalty area, but after Brozovic swayed in front of him, Mancini retreated quickly. Chini puts his foot in the air and at that moment, Brozovic flicks the ball to the right and shoots it straight into the far corner."

"It's a beautiful ball, it hits the side netting and it's hard for the keeper to react at such a close distance."

Lou Yichen: "Little Inzaghi, he raised his arms and celebrated excitedly on the sidelines! But Chairman Zhang Kangyang Zhang still looked expressionless in the camera, and it seemed that he did not respond to the team's excellent counterattack performance. Not the slightest bit of satisfaction."

Liu Yue: "He is under a lot of pressure now. I heard that the club's debt repayment work is imminent."

Lou Yichen: "Competitive sports are always cruel. I remember that after Inter Milan won the championship last season, Zhang Kangyang was regarded as the savior by Inter Milan fans. But this season, because he is still struggling for the Champions League seat at the end of the season, there has been a new emergence on the streets of Milan. He got off the club banner."

On the sidelines, Mourinho turned around and said to Foti: "Let Smalling, Spinazzola, and Zalewski warm up."

Foti nodded and complied immediately.

He knew Mourinho was under tremendous pressure.

From a goal lead in the 25th minute to being pulled twice in the 39th minute, only 14 minutes have passed, and Mourinho's mood plummeted like a roller coaster.

This game gave up the three central defenders who had a good effect against strong teams before and played four defenders. On the one hand, I hope to use full-time full-backs to strengthen the side defense. defense.

However, Inter Milan played fast and fast after the opening, so that the two defensive lines of double central defenders and central midfielders arranged by Mourinho failed to play the expected role.

Inter Milan's repeated rapid advances from the side often caused the ball to enter their own penalty area, and Matic has not been able to run back.

But now is not the time for substitutions, Mourinho must hold his breath.

He turned his head and asked Foti, "Ask Pinto, what's going on with Wijnaldum."

Foti nodded and returned to his seat to send Pinto a text message.

Since Wijnaldum was on Roma's loan target list, Mourinho must have been very concerned about this matter.

Compared with other alternative targets, Wijnaldum, who has won the Premier League and the Champions League, can assist Chen Xiaoliang in the midfielder position, allowing the latter to play more of an offensive role.

Compared with Matic and Cristante, he is faster, covers a larger area, and has more physical fitness;
Compared with Weiletu, his defensive ability is much stronger;
As for the two teenagers Volpato and Dalbo, they are still completely incomparable with the double main force of the Dutch national team and Liverpool.

This season, in the big-name Paris Saint-Germain, Wijnaldum only played as a rotation player, and nearly half of the games were second-half substitutes.

This obviously goes against the original intention of his transfer.

Pinto had previously told Mourinho Wijnaldum that he was interested in loaning to Roma as the main force, but the specific terms still need to be agreed between the two clubs.

Recently, the focus has been on the championship, and he has nothing else to do. It wasn't until he witnessed the misery of the defense again on the field that he thought about it again.

But far can't quench the near thirst, the most important thing right now is to win the game.

Taking advantage of the kick-off in the middle circle, he yelled at the back line, and when the players' eyes were attracted, he danced and made some tactical gestures.

As the head coach, there is only so much he can do on the spot. As for whether the players can understand it or do it, it is really beyond his control.

"Beep!" The game continued!
After 40 minutes, Inter Milan's advantage became more and more obvious, especially Dumfries on the right, which made everyone's eyes shine.

The director searched for various extension positions in the stadium for a long time, and sure enough, he saw the head coach of the Dutch team, Van Gaal, also sitting in the stands!
As for Roma, the left-back Malasia, who is also Dutch, actually performed very well, but he encountered very little pressure on this road tonight. Dumfries moved to the center to participate in support and direct attacks most of the time.

In the 43rd minute, Inter Milan attacked from the left. Perisic dribbled the ball about 15 meters past the midfield line and then made a flat fast pass with his left foot. Dumfries again inserted directly into the penalty area from the right. Take off in a high-speed sprint, glide in the air for a while, and then hit the ball.

Although he missed the right post, Ibanez, who was defending him, also took off to fight for the top during the retreat, but was completely defeated in the mid-air physical confrontation, and fell on his back after landing.

Mourinho couldn't help it, lowered his head and took a few steps.

He secretly scolded Madfak in his heart!
Spend all your energy on solving the midfielder, what about the central defender? !

How much budget there is in the summer depends on how "good-looking" the financial statements of the season can be, and whether UEFA approves this "good-looking" statement.

You know, even ordinary fans know that the so-called Financial Fair Play Act does not work for very few clubs.

For example, Paris Saint-Germain, which itself has inextricable cooperation with UEFA, they firmly stood on the side of UEFA in the UEFA incident. The 12 UEFA founding clubs were all registered by the European Club Association. Immediately after the removal, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, chairman of Greater Paris, was elected as the new chairman of the association at the re-election meeting, while Geringer, the legal director of Bayern Munich, another giant boycotting the European Super League, was appointed as the first vice-chairman .

Football has never been about fighting and killing, football has always been about the ways of the world.

Rome has neither such influence nor such background, nor does it have the finances supported by national sovereign funds.

Although Dan Friedkin is indeed a good boss, from spending 1.99 million euros to acquire the club, to the transfer and acquisition of 1.26 million euros in the summer window, to repaying the club's previous debts and filling losses and daily expenses, he has never lost his reputation. The Riedkin family have committed a fee of 5.34 million euros to the club.

This is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

Especially after being the head coach of Manchester United and Tottenham, Mourinho understands how rare such a boss is...

The boss of these two clubs, the former is a famous vampire.The Glazer family has never spent any more money after taking over Manchester United. Manchester United's super purchasing power is entirely based on his unparalleled business operation ability. buy players.

And the latter's boss, Levi...

Don't talk about it, Mourinho feels like vomiting when he thinks of this name.

A boss who can fire the head coach a few days before the English League Cup final, and a businessman who can do such things that harm others and benefit himself, what kind of thing can he be?
"Forti." Mourinho turned around and called Forti again.

"Let Pinto figure out a way, get a central defender, and if he tells you he doesn't have a clue, or the scouting team doesn't have a good option, let him go to Riise!"

"Yeah." Foti nodded like a pounding garlic.

On the court, Roma had already transferred the ball to the middle, Chen Xiaoliang took the initiative to retreat to his own half to get the ball, and Calhanoglu followed.

Chen Xiaoliang glanced at the big screen above the court:
41 minutes and 03 seconds...

He looked again at Charhanoglu.

The first half is not over yet!Then start with you guy!
　Thanks to the senior director of the club [Sister Yousan is as stable as poi] for the monthly pass!

　　During this time, directors, pay attention to your health and protection
