Chapter 1025 Leading and Choice
? Near the end of halftime, just when everyone thought the first half would end in a draw, Notts County suddenly pushed up and stormed the Inter Milan penalty area. The terrifying momentum made the Inter Milan players quite uncomfortable , had to retreat to defend.
However, Notts County's attack was full of suddenness. Kaka and Messi's continuous small-scale pass cooperation made Inter Milan's defense on the left completely useless. After Kaka attracted a central defender, Messi did. Suddenly he cut inside and shot at the far corner of the goal. The ball bypassed several players on both sides in the small penalty area, and also bypassed Cesar's outstretched hands, and flew into the goal by rubbing the crossbar.
The two teams fought against each other for almost half of the game, and neither of them could do anything to the other, but it was this sudden attack that broke through Inter Milan's goal lightly. This unexpected ending caused the entire Magpie Stadium to fall into chaos. There was a brief silence.
It wasn't until Messi scored the goal and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal with Kaka in his arms that the Magpies Stadium was filled with cheers.
The Inter Milan players couldn't believe the scene in front of them. The ball was lying quietly in their goal. This means that they conceded the ball?
In fact, in the first half of the game, Inter Milan's performance was completely evenly matched with Notts County, and they did not fall behind, but they never thought that when the first half was about to end, they would be beaten by Notts County. The threat to attack, and then the goal was directly broken.
Sudden heavy blow, no one can stop it, not to mention the players who have worked hard for half the time to break the goal, such a strong gap, it is really difficult to recover for a while.
In fact, both sides created a lot of chances in the first half, and they each really threatened the opponent's goal, but when the goal really came, especially Inter Milan was still the one that scored the goal, it was not so easy to accept!
Mourinho shook his head expressionlessly. Speaking of it, he was careless. Notts County had a very high scoring rate at several time points. At the beginning of the game and the end of the game, Notts County's raids often It produced good results, but Mourinho thought that Notts County would not dare to use such a tactic in front of Inter Milan. After all, a large-scale attack could not win, and in turn, Inter Milan would counterattack. This tactic is a double-edged sword.
But now, Notts County won the bet, winners and losers. After the game, everyone will say that Notts County's tactics are superb, and Inter Milan was caught off guard. If the situation is reversed, right will also become wrong!
When Notts County ended the celebration and the game restarted, the referee did not delay too long, and soon blew the whistle to end the first half of the game. With a score of 1:0, Notts County returned to the locker room.
When the strength of the two teams is evenly matched, it is still necessary to compete for details on the field, and it is possible for anyone to beat the other.
Although Notts County's current lineup configuration is somewhat inferior to that of Inter Milan, it is not surprising that they can take the lead at home.
When they walked off the pitch, the Notts County players had a relaxed expression on their faces. Notts County, who are now leading, can face the game more calmly in the second half of the game.
David could imagine Moratti's expression in the box at this time, even if he wasn't out of breath, he would definitely not be smiling. How depressing it is.
It doesn't matter if he is depressed, if he is not depressed, he should be depressed himself!
Although David went back to sympathize with an old man, but when it comes to the two sides being on opposite sides, it's better to make the other party unlucky!
The current situation is very clear. The task of Notts County, which has already taken the lead, in the second half is to focus on defense and not give away goals to the opponent. It would be better if they can score again, so Notts County’s tactics have More leeway.
This is his experience sitting on the bench for a long time. Although he can't fully understand Heynckes' tactical thinking, but if he were replaced by himself, he would definitely fight back in the second half!
Sure enough, from the beginning of the second half, from the players' positions, David knew that Heynckes thought the same as himself. Although giving up the midfield may give the opponent more offensive opportunities, as long as the counterattack can threaten Inter Milan's The goal, then Inter Milan dare not put all their energy in the oppressive attack. More importantly, Notts County leads the score, and Inter Milan should be anxious.
Although there were many players under Mourinho in the previous life, they lamented Mourinho’s utilitarianism, claiming that Mourinho never taught them to set up the bus to practice defense in training, they were all training offense and tactical cooperation, But in fact, this still cannot change the fact that the offense of the team coached by Mourinho cannot achieve great success.
As long as the ball is given to Mourinho's team, then they are likely to become unable to play, especially when Notts County puts more attention on defense, it is difficult for Inter Milan to continue to pass A head-on threat to Notts County's goal.
Inter Milan's style of play is relatively one-on-one, especially in the face of dense defense. Usually, Drogba repeatedly penetrates the loopholes in the penalty area through his strong body, and then either attacks the goal by himself, or hits the vertex with a long-range shot from the outside.
Vidic can't restrain Drogba alone, but with the timely help of top central defender Carvalho, it is not easy for Drogba to do something.
As for the long-range shots outside the penalty area, first of all, the dense crowd in the penalty area reduces the success rate of long-range shots by more than half. Yaya Toure and Kaka's protection of the midfielder in the penalty area also makes it difficult for Sneijder and others to be comfortable. Even sometimes Villa can come out from behind and counter-rob, disrupting Inter Milan's offensive.
In the opening 10 minutes of the second half, although Inter Milan took the initiative on the scene and had a frighteningly high ball possession rate, there was actually only one truly threatening shot, which was caused by a set kick.
On the other hand, Notts County’s counterattack was quite threatening. The Inter Milan players also felt the desperate speed of the three players in the Notts County forward line. If two defensive players lag behind, I am afraid that Inter Milan's goal has already been pierced again!
David sometimes thinks like a head coach. If he is Mourinho now, what would he do?
Is it to choose a desperate attack to fight for an equalizer and away goals, paving the way for the next game?
Or choose to die down, end the game with this score, and then place the bet on a home game against Notts County in one fell swoop?
I don't know what choice Mourinho will make, but if he is allowed to choose, he may choose the latter!
