Chapter 1106: Stubborn Spalletti

   "Spalletti didn't make any personnel adjustments. At this time, some personnel changes should be made!"

  The Italian commentator couldn't help frowning.

   In his opinion, Spalletti is a little indecisive. The current Inter Milan is already behind. At this time, it is no longer a question of trusting the players, but a problem with the overall lineup.

  Needs to be supplemented with personnel changes.

  But Spalletti doesn't seem to intend to do this, but is still in a wait-and-see posture.

   But can you really continue to look at it like this?

  Inter Milan has been suppressed to death.

   Looking further, the situation will only get worse.

  However, Spalletti is not a head coach known for on-the-spot adjustments. Even when personnel are transferred, he often misses opportunities because of his indecision.

  Just like the current situation, Spalletti is still in a wait-and-see attitude when Inter Milan loses the ball and the game begins to go to a disadvantage.

   Nobody knew what he was thinking.

   Even because of his bald head and constant wait-and-see attitude, many people gave Spalletti a friendly nickname.

  'Lighthouse'!

  The situation in the arena is still under the control of Arsenal.

  After taking the lead, Arsenal's offensive began to slow down.

  But they still firmly control the ball. Although the offensive strength is not as oppressive as before, they still control the rhythm of the game.

  The ball frequently passes under Lucky's feet, and Arsenal relies on Lucky to form control over the whole.

   Lucky doesn’t see much control of the ball, or holds the ball for too long, but often after the ball comes to Lucky’s feet, he can handle it very cleanly.

  Whether it is transfer or offense and defense, Lucky can give a clear instruction.

   Based on this instruction, Arsenal as a whole can operate extremely smoothly.

   Lucky is undoubtedly an existence that the entire Arsenal trusts in the midfield.

  Based on this trust, Arsenal is also constantly relying on Lucky to control the game.

   On the other hand, Inter Milan is a little passive.

  The frontcourt simply doesn't get enough support.

  The two World Cup runner-up midfielders were even more oppressed.

   Brozovic and Perisic, these two Croatian players felt such tremendous pressure in the midfield for the first time.

  On the eve of the World Cup, they played a warm-up match with China, and also played against Lucky.

   But Lucky at that time did not bring them much oppression.

  The main reason is that the Croatian midfielder has to overwhelm the Chinese team as a whole, and under the deployment of Modric, everything is so smooth.

  But after returning to the club, Lucky’s surroundings were all world top players, and under the background of such teammates, Lucky’s ability was fully stimulated.

   Brozovic and Perisic also felt this huge sense of oppression.

   "Damn it!"

   Brozovic immediately turned around and returned to his position when he failed to grab the ball, for fear that Arsenal would suddenly shoot back.

   Vecino's situation is similar.

   Lucky and Wilshere, the two in front of each other, put great pressure on their midfield line.

  The pressure is not just at the back, but also in midfield.

   It can be said that so far, except for the frontcourt where the ball cannot be received, Inter Milan has been suppressed as a whole.

   At this time, the game time has entered 44 minutes, and there is not much time left before the intermission.

  "Arsenal is going to keep a goal for the intermission. After they scored, they didn't press the offense, but controlled the situation, mostly involving involvement."

  "Inter Milan wants to fight back, but every time they press, they need to retreat to their position immediately. After all, Arsenal's counterattack is not a joke."

  The Italian commentator sighed; "The counterattack dare not invest too much force, and the press cannot be fully implemented. Inter Milan is completely suppressed."

  After the Italian commentator finished speaking, the referee just blew the whistle for halftime.

   Throughout the 45 minutes, Arsenal took the lead in scoring a goal.

  Although it was a goal, it was a huge blow to Inter Milan fans and players.

  The main reason is that this goal made them completely irresistible.

  Even that time, everyone knew that Arsenal wanted to score goals through this attack, but they couldn't prevent it.

  This kind of defense that they know but cannot interfere and restrict makes them feel extremely frustrated.

  The Inter Milan fans in the arena are still shouting loudly.

   "Brace yourself!"

   "It's just a lost ball, let's find it together!"

   "Come on! Guys!"

   "Don't be discouraged! Heads up!"

  Inter Milan fans still give the players confidence. If the players on the field lose confidence, then this game will be meaningless.

  At the same time, the fans are also shouting at the head coach.

   "Hey! You should be more decisive!"

   "Substitution! We need to add some midfield strength!"

   "Stop watching, we need change!"

   "Do something, Spalletti!"

  Spalletti walked into the player tunnel silently, his expression didn't change in any way, but his slightly frowned brows indicated that he didn't really like fans giving him opinions.

  After returning to the locker room, Spalletti began to make tactical arrangements for the second half.

  "We need to increase some pressing strength in the frontcourt to relieve the pressure on the midfield and backcourt."

   After Spalletti finished speaking, the Inter Milan players looked at each other.

   "Are you sure? Not to increase the defensive strength of the midfield?"

  Icardi also looked shocked.

  Let the frontcourt go for a press?

  Of course, this is a key direction of pressure, but the problem is that they are a Serie A team.

  Inter Milan has never played a high press.

   They are new to this tactic.

  High pressing is not about running around in the frontcourt, but a coordinated and organized pressing to exert pressure.

  Suddenly take out this set of tactics, whether it can be kicked out is another matter, and it may even be kicked.

   "Should we increase the defensive strength of the midfield?"

   Even Perisic couldn't help but speak out.

  Arsenal's daring to press like this is entirely based on the strong attributes of the midfielder.

  Inter Milan used the defense of the midfield to create some troubles for Arsenal. Although it cannot be said to completely block Arsenal's offense, it can form a counterattack after all.

   But Spalletti was clearly unhappy.

"I need you to understand that I am the head coach, and you just need to play according to my tactical arrangements." Spalletti said in a deep voice: "Our problem is not in the midfield, but in the frontcourt. To make an effect, when there is no counter-attack opportunity, the strikers also have to participate in the defense and press."

  "We need to make full use of all available things in the field to create a counterattack gap."

   Spalletti said loudly; "That's it! Everyone rest!"

   Seeing that Spalletti had made up his mind, everyone had no choice.

   If you press at a high position, you can press it. Anyway, run a little more to see if you can run out of opportunities?

   On the other hand, Arsenal's tactics mainly focus on a constant response to all changes.

  "We are already ahead, so we don't need to take the initiative to make tactical changes. We can observe the changes in Inter Milan's tactical configuration and make adjustments."

  "The entire first half performance was very good, but it needs to be maintained all the time without any slack. There are 45 minutes left to win the first game of the Champions League!"

   Mourinho's voice is powerful.

  Everyone nodded.

   The first victory is inevitable.

  For the current Arsenal, they have never thought about any disturbances in the group stage. Even though it is a bit harder for this reason, they have not come up with tactics that are close to the offensive and defensive ends.

   In order to be stable in the group stage.

   After all, for Arsenal, their goal has always been to reach the top of Europe.

  Although this process will be difficult, they have sufficient confidence in this after having the experience of last season.

   In the preparation of both sides, the intermission phase ends.

  The two sides returned to the field.

  Inter Milan still has not made personnel adjustments, and Arsenal is also watching the changes.

  However, after the start of the second half, Inter Milan's sense of oppression in the frontcourt was sufficient.

  Icardi, Perisic and other players also ran hard in the frontcourt. Icardi even took the initiative to retreat many times to help the team reduce the defensive pressure.

  The overall press seems to be effective, but in Arsenal's view, this is the stability obtained by exchanging physical energy, without much substantive significance.
