Chapter 439 Lightning Join

On July 22, Inter Milan ushered in their fourth warm-up match. They will face the heroic Chelsea in the Rose Bowl. ≈

Although it was just an ordinary pre-season warm-up match, there were many things to watch.

Mourinho, who once wrote a legend at Stamford Bridge, faced his old club for the first time after get out of class, while Ancelotti, who has recently joined the Blues, met again with Inter Milan, his city rival who had fought fiercely for eight years.

Gao Xiaodong, who is worth up to 50 million yuan, is playing against a giant for the first time. What position will he appear in? Central defender, defensive midfielder, attacking midfielder, forward, or even a new position.

Is Ancelotti playing 4-3-3 or his favorite Christmas tree formation?

Will Mourinho continue the 4312 formation from last season, or play the 433 formation that he likes and is good at?

Fans and reporters all over the world hope to find the answer in this warm-up match.

This is the first heavyweight contest after the training camp of the five major European league teams. The game also attracted almost 80,000 fans to watch the game.

Almost everyone thought that Mourinho would definitely attach great importance to this game. However, after the lineup came out, fans and reporters were disappointed to find that the goalkeeper was Belek. The first goalkeeper Cesar and the second goalkeeper Toldo were both there Sit on the bench.

The four backs are Chivu, Cordoba, Burdisso and Thornton.

Maicon, the world's number one right back, sat on the bench. Gao Xiaodong, who performed well in the first two cameo games, did not play as a back, but returned to the position of the attacking midfielder.

The other three defensive midfielders are Cambiasso, Stankovic and Vieira, and the double forwards are Milito and Eto'o.

Chelsea has also changed a new formation, neither 433, nor a Christmas tree, but England's traditional 442 formation.

Goalkeeper Cech, four defenders: Carvalho, Terry, Cole, Belletti, four midfielders: Lampard, Essien, Mikel, Malouda; two forwards: Drogba, Ane Alka

Facing the powerful Chelsea, Inter Milan's defense has a substitute lineup, which makes it difficult for the fans to understand. Cordoba and Burdisso, one is 1.73 meters and the other is 1.83 meters. Soon, but how to defend Chelsea's high-altitude bombing? The housekeeping skill of the English team is aerial bombing. Could it be that Mourinho is not prepared to win at all?

Sure enough, from the first minute of the game, Chelsea frequently threatened Inter Milan's goal with headers.

Veteran midfielder Vieira became the most photogenic person,

He kept fighting for headers with his opponents in the back line, making header clearances, while Cordoba and Burdisso seemed to disappear from the field, and no one knew where they were.

In the first 8 minutes, the fans of Inter Milan could bear it. They felt that Cordoba and Burdisso's air defense ability was not good, but the speed was not bad, and the recovery ability was excellent.

However, in the 9th minute, Lampard moved forward with the ball in midfield, and Cambiasso came to block it. Lampard made a long-range shot, evaded Cambiasso, and suddenly inserted a straight ball. .

It was a very penetrating pass, the ball went through the Inter defense, Drogba put in high, threw away Cordoba and Burdisso, and swayed past the attacking goalkeeper in the penalty area Bellec, crosses the ball from the baseline.

This was already an empty goal, but Gao Xiaodong, who was about to retreat, shoveled the ball out of the baseline in front of the goal, dissolving a must-goal opportunity.

Faced with such a defense, Inter Milan fans were very angry, thinking that Chelsea should not have been given such a good opportunity at all.

However, the head coach of Inter Milan, Mourinho, has been sitting firmly on the coaching bench, and has no dissatisfaction with the situation on the field, and has been talking about something with Villas-Boas next to him.

When Chelsea took a corner kick, Inter Milan's penalty area was in chaos again. In the end, Gao Xiaodong headed the ball out of the penalty area.

However, such a passive situation will certainly not last long. In the 14th minute of the game, Drogba shot a long-range shot with his right foot from a meter away from the goal. Belleci, who was inattentive, reacted too slowly, and the ball bounced into the dead corner. , the score became 1-o!

The blame for this conceded goal must be shared by Inter Milan's midfielders and goalkeepers, because after Drogbala came out, the division of labor between the central defender and the midfielder was not clear, and Drogba's shot was not blocked immediately.

Conceding a goal made Gao Xiaodong very unhappy. Although this conceding had nothing to do with him, it was his first time representing Inter Milan against a giant team, and Gao Xiaodong didn't want to lose.

Although Inter Milan launched a counterattack, Gao Xiaodong first tested Cech, the Chelsea goalkeeper, with a long shot. Gao Xiaodong's long shot was of high quality, but Cech was tall and long with long arms and quick reaction, hitting the ball with both fists.

Soon after, Gao Xiaodong used his body to hold the ball and crossed it to Vieira who was in the middle. Vieira shot a long shot and was saved by Petr Cech again.

Inter Milan's most threatening cooperation was when Gao Xiaodong leaped high and flew the header behind the Chelsea defender, but Eto'o ran a little too fast and was ruled offside by the referee.

Then Chelsea used more tacit and familiar cooperation to occupy the initiative on the field and began to press down on Inter Milan's offense.

In the first half, Inter Milan was completely passive, with only sporadic counterattacks. Although the score in the first half was only 0:1, it seemed that the scene was not on the same level as Chelsea.

After the intermission, both sides made extensive adjustments. Inter Milan replaced Eto'o on the front line, replaced Balotelli, replaced Cordoba, replaced Samuel, and replaced Stanko. Vecchi, replaced by Quaresma, made adjustments in the front, center and back.

However, the goal was conceded again in the first three minutes of the second half. It was Sturridge's cross that hit Burdisso. The referee awarded a penalty kick. Lampard made the penalty and the score became 0:2. .

This conceded goal hit Inter Milan quite a bit, and the defensive action became bigger, and then the smell of gunpowder on the field between the two sides gradually intensified. First, Vieira shoveled Mikel, and then Lampard elbowed Burdisso for the top. Xiaodong almost pretended to faint Carvalho with a header. Seeing that the players on both sides were not in the game, the referee increased the penalty scale, and it took three yellow cards to calm the players down.

Chelsea lead by two goals, but they are not conservative. They have a solid defense and fight aggressively. Inter Milan's offense is very chaotic. Gao Xiaodong has just arrived and can't pinch his teammates together. Cooperating, under Chelsea's tacit defense, they have few opportunities.

Mourinho saw the situation on the field very clearly, but he never made any adjustments. In the end, Inter Milan lost the first warm-up match of the season at the Rose Bowl Stadium 0:2.

However, at the press conference after the game, Mourinho did not mean to be unhappy at all. After briefly commenting on the game, Mourinho announced a big news to reporters. Inter Milan.

Almost at the same time, the news of Lucio's 8 million euro transfer to Inter Milan has spread on the Internet. Most people are shocked by this. First, they are shocked that the transfer fee is so low. The speed of the meeting was so fast, there was no sign at all, and Lucio suddenly moved to Inter Milan.

Gao Xiaodong saw Mourinho revealing Lucio's transfer in the locker room, and immediately understood Mourinho's seemingly confusing intention of forming a formation. It turned out that it was to attack the Argentine gang. Put Lucio on top. 8
