Chapter 588: Tough Confrontation

At 7:40 pm, Spanish referee Gonzalez called the players from both sides out of the locker room.

When Drogba, Terry, Mikel and other Chelsea players saw Mourinho coming out, they all came over to say hello to Mourinho.

"Hello Mourinho!"

"Mourinho! Finally I see you!"

"I will definitely visit you at home after the game!"

…

Drogba and others hugged Mourinho tightly, and their closeness was palpable.

Ancelotti looked at it with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Mourinho saw Malouda and couldn't help but smile. He knew he had guessed right. Ancelotti indeed sent Malouda to play left back.

When Gao Xiaodong saw Malouda, he felt confident. Although the French international Malouda was strong and his attack from the wing was very sharp, he was not a full-back. Gao Xiaodong believed that his defensive ability was definitely better than Malouda, and It shouldn't be a problem for his offensive ability to break through Malouda, who has never played as a full-back, not to mention there is Zanetti behind him.

Coming out of the mixed tunnel, the players from Chelsea and Inter Milan were shocked by what they saw.

Amidst the thunderous applause and shouts, a huge screen slowly came down from the first, second and third floor stands in the north of Meazza. On the huge banner was painted a 100-meter-high statue of the patron saint of Milan City, Anbu. The Roggio image, the giant screen pattern is majestic and impressive, and thousands of flashlights are flashing at this moment.

Fans held colored strips to form two red cross flags representing the city of Milan, and then read "Who will dominate the city of Milan today?" on a blue and black background.

Who doesn't want to be a hero?

Who doesn’t want 70,000 to 80,000 fans chanting his or her name together?

Who doesn’t want fans to worship them?

The players of Inter Milan are excited. The turf they have walked on countless times seems to have become completely different today. The shouts of the fans seem to be full of magic. They are all excited at this moment. Everyone wants to be the master of Milan and Meazza.

After taking a group photo and shaking hands, captains Zanetti and Terry exchanged team flags and emblems and challenged the ball. Inter Milan's players raised their hands to greet the fans in the stands.

At this time, reporters from all over the world focused their cameras on the superstar players of both sides and took pictures non-stop. The commentators began to introduce the starting lineups of both sides to the fans.

"Inter Milan has a 4-2-3-1 formation today: goalkeeper 1-Toldo; back four 13-Maicon, 25-Samuel, 6-Lucio, 4-Zanetti; double back Waist 19-Cambiaso, 8-Motta; three-forward 20-Sneijder, 9-Eto'o, 10-Gao Xiaodong; lone forward 22-Diego Milito

Chelsea deployed a 4-3-3 formation today: goalkeeper 1-Cech; back four 2-Ivanovic, 6-Carvalho, 26-Terry, 15-Malouda; three midfielders: 13-Barack, 12-Mikel, 8-Lampard; three forwards 39-Anelka, 11-Drogba, 21-Kalou

There are not many changes in Inter Milan's starting lineup today. The commonly used 4231 formation, all the main players are on the field. The only thing that makes people worry is that Inter Milan's double midfielders are not strong enough. I don't know if they can stop the monsters Drogba, Lampard and Ballack. , Mikel and other fierce players' impact.

Chelsea’s starting lineup today is actually very different from before. Ancelotti rarely starts Anelka, Drogba and Kalou together. It seems Chelsea is bound to win away goals..."

Before the commentators had finished their introduction, the pre-match ceremony was over. Inter Milan picked the goal near the North Stand and kicked off first.

In the VIP box, Moratti was a little nervous, but only Blanca was beside him to talk to him to relieve his pressure.

Chelsea owner Abramovich doesn't like to watch games with outsiders. Instead of sitting with Moratti, he found a separate box to sit in.

"Can we win this game?" Moratti asked Blanca.

Blanca said cautiously: "Chelsea lacks a left-back.

We lack the main goalkeeper, and both sides are evenly matched. It depends on the performance on the spot. "

Moratti sighed: "Our record against Premier League teams is so bad, I don't know what to do."

Branca said: "President, don't worry, Mourinho has made good adjustments to the team, not to mention we have strong reinforcements such as Xiao Donggao and Sneijder joining us. It's not certain who will win."

While Moratti and Blanca were talking, Spanish referee Gonzalez blew the whistle to start the first half.

Milito and Eto'o kicked off the ball in the center circle, and the ball was passed back to Sneijder, who then passed it back to Lucio. At this time, Chelsea's three forwards had already rushed to press the ball.

Lucio passed the ball across to Zanetti, who without hesitation passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong who was retreating to receive the ball.

Inter Milan's current thinking is very clear. In positional battles, pass it to Gao Xiaodong, who can attack Malouda. In counterattacks, pass it to Sneijder, who can pass the ball to the forwards.

The opponent was extremely strong, and Inter Milan was playing at home again and would never allow a goal to be conceded. Gao Xiaodong did not press forward after the start of the game today, but stayed in his own half to support his teammates.

Gao Xiaodong had already retreated to his own half. Obviously Malouda, who was playing full back today, would not be in this position. To defend Gao Xiaodong at this time was Chelsea's German midfielder Ballack, the famous Sanya King.

Ballack, who is 1.90 meters tall, is not clumsy. He is tall and strong, and his speed is not slow. The key is that he is physically good enough and can run in the two penalty areas. He, Lampard and Mikel form a defensive midfielder group. Excellent offensive power and strong defensive ability.

Gao Xiaodong received the ball with his back from the wing, and Ballack came from behind to press for him. Gao Xiaodong did not dare to be careless, and passed the ball to Motta, and quickly turned forward.

Motta, who was born in Barcelona, ​​has good awareness and can pass the ball accurately. When he saw Gao Xiaodong passing it to him, he turned around and moved forward, and immediately did a one-two and passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong.

Ballack is very experienced. When Gao Xiaodong turned around and pushed forward, he knew that he was going to play a one-two and immediately turned back to defend.

Left back Malouda also saw that Gao Xiaodong and Motta were going to cooperate with each other. He moved forward quickly to prevent Gao Xiaodong from breaking forward after receiving the ball.

Gao Xiaodong was so fast that before Barak's body could turn around, Gao Xiaodong was already passing by him like the wind.

But Malouda stepped forward in time. After Gao Xiaodong received the ball, Malouda appeared in front of him. He had no room to dribble. Sneijder in the middle was guarded by Mikel again, and Ballack was behind him. In hot pursuit, the situation is very serious. If you don't handle it well, you will be intercepted and counterattacked.

However, Gao Xiaodong is not a pure wing player. Seeing that the wing is not easy to play, he immediately dribbled the ball across to the center.

Gao Xiaodong had a long shot. Malouda did not dare to let him go and quickly followed Gao Xiaodong to the middle.

Although Gao Xiaodong's task today is the right midfielder, Mourinho said that when Gao Xiaodong changes positions, his teammates must assist him. Sneijder saw Gao Xiaodong coming to the center, so he had to run to the wing and switch with Gao Xiaodong. Bit.

This change of position by Sneijder was beautiful and took away Mikel.

Just as Mikel left the center, Gao Xiaodong immediately seized this opportunity and passed the ball straight to Milito.

Milito was about to use his three-point shot, but center back Terry was very close to Milito. After the ball came, he immediately made a fierce shovel, destroying the ball from Milito's feet, and Milito was also brought over. On the ground.

There was a round of applause in the stands. Although the ball did not result in a shot, facing the toughest Chelsea in Europe, in the first minute of the opening game, the ball was hit into the opponent's hinterland and almost created a shooting opportunity. This is very good. .

The ball fell to Lampard's feet. Lampard bullied Inter Milan's aging goalkeeper Toldo and directly lobbed a long pass into Inter Milan's penalty area, looking for his forward Drogba.

Warcraft Drogba is Chelsea's center forward and bridgehead. His role in the front is to ferry the ball to his teammates and directly attack the opponent's goal.

Because Drogba's body is extremely strong, with him in the opponent's penalty area, Chelsea never worry about how to dribble the ball through the midfield, and go over with a big foot to find Drogba. Drogba leans on the defender and passes the ball to his teammates. , the shot can be formed immediately.

However, Lucio, the captain of the Brazilian team who was guarding Drogba today, saw the ball coming. Drogba tried to pass the header to Anelka as if there was no one around him. Lucio rushed over without showing any signs of weakness and scored. He pushed the ball away with his header, and his body moved forward with inertia, knocking Drogba's head.
