Chapter 572: Ned Appears

Although one less player was beaten, the scene fell into a disadvantage, but Inter Milan was not completely passive. They were also using the few opportunities to counterattack to deter AC Milan's goal.

Before Gao Xiaodong and Pandev came, Inter Milan’s counterattacks lacked technical content. They often launched a long pass from the midfielder to hit the back of the opponent’s defender. There is little chance of passing through the opponent's defense.

But now Inter Milan's counterattack rarely hits the back of the defender like this. More often, Gao Xiaodong passes the ball to Pandev in the backcourt, and Pandev organizes it again and passes it to Milito.

Pandev is not a pure attacking midfielder, but he is good at passing the ball. More importantly, his technique is very delicate. The timing, weight and insight of the last pass are not inferior to Gao Xiaodong in Inter Milan.

Before Materazzi's handball, Gao Xiaodong, Pandev and Milito had a connection. Gao Xiaodong passed directly to Pandev, who had his back to the goal. Pandev took the ball back and turned around quickly. , The ball was passed to Milito.

As soon as Milito made a smooth pass, he surpassed his defender Favalli by half a body. Favalli had to take the risk of shoveling and uprooted Milito, but the referee Rocky did not say anything about it.

At the last moment of the first half, Ronaldinho forced Materazzi, but Gao Xiaodong quickly snatched the ball from Ronaldinho's feet from behind.

Ronaldinho followed up to fight back, Gao Xiaodong quickly passed the ball diagonally to Zanetti, Ronaldinho became annoyed, and when Gao Xiaodong turned around and ran past him, he patted Gao Xiaodong's leg Kicked.

Gao Xiaodong staggered a bit, but did not fall down. This was a good opportunity to counterattack, Gao Xiaodong did not choose to flop.

Gao Xiaodong rushed out of the penalty area and received a pass from Zanetti again. Gattuso ran over from a distance and shoveled fiercely, trying to force Gao Xiaodong to pass the ball again.

Faced with the opponent's threat, Gao Xiaodong was very calm. He calmly passed the ball with his big feet, and then jumped up in a hurry to avoid Gattuso's flying shovel.

Gattuso's flying shovel drew boos from the Inter Milan fans in the stands.

"This action is fierce!"

"The feet are off the ground!"

"Isn't this a warning?"

"If you can't shovel, you won't give the card?"

...

Amidst the condemnation of the fans, the ball flew over the midfield and came to Pandev.

Before Pandev stopped the ball with his chest, he turned his head and looked behind him. He saw Milito started to activate, and the opponent defender also stuck to him. Pandev stopped the ball forward with his chest, jumped up with a step, and passed the ball to behind the defender.

Milito has already started when Pandev handles the ball. The moment Pandev passes the ball, he is already level with the defender, but the defender is turning around, but Milito has already started to accelerate. When the ball is passed, Milito throws the defender out instantly. More than one meter away, when the defender turned around, Milito had already thrown the defender more than two meters away, forming a chance to go to the meeting alone.

The fans of Inter Milan cheered in unison, thinking that this is almost the same, and Milito's one-handed goal is very stable.

However, at this time, the linesman raised the flag, indicating that Milito was offside, and the referee Rocky immediately blew his whistle to suspend the game.

Milito was very annoyed, he ran to the sideline excitedly and asked the lineman loudly, where is the ball offside?

Mourinho on the sidelines became even more emotional. He rushed out of the coach's bench and yelled at the court again, "This is not a good goal, what is a good goal!?".

But the blind line referee had already raised the flag, and all protests were of no avail, and no one could change the referee's decision.

At this moment, there was another booing in the stands, this time the boos were for the referee.

"Damn it! You can be a referee even if you are blind!"

"Is there no selection criteria for referees? Can you be a referee even if you have vision problems?"

"It's not that he has a problem with his eyesight, he has a problem with his heart."

"Damn! This is our home stadium! Being hacked like this! There is really no one left!"

"It's clearly coming with a political mandate.

"

"What suspense and excitement, the most important thing in football is fairness!"

...

The fans in the stands talked a lot, and the focus of the conflict was on the referee, even the fans of AC Milan. They believed that the referee missed a penalty.

The first half of the game ended after AC Milan opened the backcourt. The players of both sides returned to the locker room to rest, waiting for the start of the second half of the game.

home team locker room

Mourinho has regained his composure. He analyzed the gains and losses in the first half to the players, and told the players that the referee's penalty is biased towards the opponent, but the players must remain calm. The referee protested, but there must be restraint and no excesses.

Mourinho showed the players his game records again, and the diary was full of memories, "Although we played one less player, the opponent didn't have a good chance to get a shot. They only had one really threatening attack. , and we had two times, if the last one-handed goal is not misjudged, we can even expand the score, so don’t worry, the 10-man Inter Milan will not lose to the 11-man AC Milan.”

Then Mourinho made substitution adjustments and tactical adjustments. Pandev went off and Sneijder came on, replacing the second striker Pandev with a pure midfielder.

There is no problem with this substitution. Now Inter Milan is playing a defensive counterattack. Sneijder's position has little connection with the players in the backcourt and frontcourt. He just makes the last pass after receiving the ball, or directly attacks the goal.

As a pure defensive midfielder, Sneijder has better passing skills and vision than Pandev, and has a long shot. The most important thing is that Sneijder has also played as a defensive midfielder and can contribute to defense. At this time, Sneijder Clearly better than Upper Pandev.

And in a big battle like the Milan Derby, no one wants to stay on the field, only the newcomer Pandev has no status, and he dare not complain when he is replaced.

After the start of the second half, AC Milan also made substitutions and adjustments. The pure defensive player Gattuso left the field, and the old Dutch monster Seedorf entered.

Both sides changed one player each, but the situation of the game did not change. It was still AC Milan's onslaught and Inter Milan's defensive counterattack.

The presence of Seedorf has improved AC Milan's frontcourt attack a lot. The old demon has a good sense of handling the ball and can complete personal breakthroughs from time to time. Inter Milan's defenders are tall and slow to turn. It's hard.

Fortunately, AC Milan's forward line is Boleno, and it is Ronaldinho without speed. If it is Pato or Huntelaar, it is estimated that they have already conceded the ball.

Because Inter Milan is a defensive counterattack, Sneijder's role on the field is not as great as that of Seedorf. He did not get a ball for several minutes, and he managed to get it once, and was immediately destroyed by the defender.

On-site commentator Reka commented: "Sneijder still needs to adapt to the defense of Serie A defenders! Serie A defenders are much more ruthless than La Liga defenders, and they are also more accurate. They will not give you too much space to handle the ball."

Sneijder is also a smart player. He quickly adapted to the defense of the Serie A defenders. He was faster when handling the ball and passed more passes to Gao Xiaodong, Cambiasso and Stankovic on the midfielder.

Sneijder handles the ball more safely. If he passes it back to him, he can deal with the defender better. But because Cambiasso, Stankovic, and Gao Xiaodong don’t trust him, he passes Not many balls were returned, so being safe became a waste of opportunities, which made Mourinho a little dissatisfied. He waved Sneijder to try his best to pass forward instead of passing back.
