Chapter 592: Obscene
"What?" Mourinho, who was full of worries, thought he heard wrongly. But then I remembered that Gao Xiaodong also had good goalkeeping skills.
However, Gao Xiaodong is the key figure in charge of the team's offense. If he is the goalkeeper, then who will score the goals and who will organize the game.
At this time, goalkeeper coach Silvino said: "Gao's goalkeeping skills are similar to Orlandoni's, but Gao's reaction and speed are fast, and Orlandoni has a greater height advantage."
Every on-the-spot adjustment by the coach is extremely risky, which is like the concept of opportunity cost in economics, unless it is really a real desperate situation or a good situation like 0 to 3 or 3 to 0.
There are only so many resources (the total number of 11 will not change), and the ratio between resources is also limited (it cannot be all defenders or all forwards). If you replace defensive players with offensive ones, the attack power will increase. , the defensive strength on the field will inevitably be weakened, and vice versa.
At this time, it depends on the coach's experience and luck. If you bet correctly, you will be a model of on-the-spot command. For example, Le Maire in the 2000 European Cup finals. Whether Trezeguet was replaced on the spot or carefully arranged, in short, it is Miraculous to the extreme, Trezeguet scored the winner.
And a slightly wrong substitution will be a lifelong regret, just like what mistake did Hitzfield make in the 1999 Champions League final? It was nothing more than replacing Matthäus, the core of the defense. From a sentimental point of view, this was a chance for the veteran to receive applause from the audience. Logically speaking, Manchester United was indeed waiting to die at that time, and the game was all over. It’s been 90 minutes, what else could be wrong? However, Manchester United miraculously reversed the situation.
At this time, it was difficult for Mourinho to make an immediate decision. 1:1 was equivalent to half a half behind, with one player missing, and the opponent still had a penalty kick. Should he attack or defend at this time?
At this time, tactical coach Morais said: "There are still more than 50 minutes in the game. We have one less player. It is almost impossible to win."
One sentence reminded the dreamer, and Mourinho quickly made a very realistic decision. The goalkeeper is really too weak. No matter how tall he is, it is useless if he has slow reactions and slow speed. Just like Toldo, he has no skills. It has to be said, but if the reaction is slow, it will be a red card penalty, if it is quick, it will be an excellent save.
Letting Gao Xiaodong guard the goal can strengthen the defense, and Sneijder can partially replace him offensively. But if Orlandoni guard the goal, there will be no solution for problems in front of the goal.
"Okay! Xiaodong, I'll leave the goal to you!" Mourinho patted Gao Xiaodong on the shoulder and said to Silvino: "Find a set of goalkeeper clothes for Xiaodong."
Silvino said: "There are no such small goalkeeper clothes."
Gao Xiaodong suddenly said: "No need.
I have it in my bag. "
Mourinho, the coaches and the substitutes were all shocked that this kid was actually ready for this.
Goalkeeper Orlandoni returned to the bench and sat down again, and Gao Xiaodong began to change his goalkeeper clothes.
Everyone in the audience was shocked when they saw Gao Xiaodong changing into goalkeeper clothes.
"God! What happened?"
"Why did Orlandoni go back?"
"Xiao Donggao changes into goalkeeper clothes. Does he want to guard the goal? He can guard the goal."
"Oh my god! Does Xiaodong want to guard the goal? Has he practiced goalkeeping?"
"This is simply ridiculous! How tall is Xiaodong?"
"Oh my God, has Mourinho been beaten stupid by Chelsea?"
…
Inter Milan's main goalkeeper was in a car accident. Although substitute goalkeeper Toldo performed poorly, he was sent off in the 42nd minute and awarded a penalty kick. At this time, Inter Milan fans gave up and felt that the game was lost. It depends on how much you lose.
However, at this time, Mourinho did not replace the third goalkeeper, but asked Gao Xiaodong to guard the goal. Inter Milan fans could not understand it. It was unbelievable that such a substitution would not happen even in football games.
The on-site commentator Reka covered his head, "God! What on earth does Mourinho want to do? Is he crazy? Or is Xiaodong crazy? Xiaodong actually went to guard the goal? No matter how bad Orlandoni is, he will not be better than Gao Xiaodong. You're a poor gatekeeper, are you thinking with your feet?"
CCTV commentator He Hui couldn't understand this most bizarre scene in football history. He couldn't believe what it was like for Gao Xiaodong to play as a goalkeeper. "Is Mourinho so imaginative? But Xiaodong actually agreed. After a few days of closed training, could it be that Xiaodong is just practicing as a gatekeeper?"
The Chelsea players' eyes almost popped out of their heads. They couldn't believe what was happening in front of them. The opponent didn't change the goalkeeper. The most attacking full-back actually went to guard the goal. God, Inter Milan's head coach is Balot. Possessed by Lee?
Ancelotti was speechless. He had played football, watched football and coached for almost fifty years, but he had never seen anything like this before. However, Ancelotti believed that if you take the strange thing, you will be defeated. Anyway, I have a lot of experience. If I beat one player, even if I don't score a penalty kick, I can still beat you. No matter who you replace, I'm not afraid even if Mourinho comes on.
In the VIP box, Abramovich couldn't help laughing when he saw Gao Xiaodong guarding the door, "It's fun! It's so fun! Only Mourinho can do such a thing, and only Xiaodong and Gao can accept such an arrangement!"
In another VIP box, Moratti was sent off because of Toldo and was awarded a penalty kick. He was sitting there in a daze. At this time, he finally couldn't help but got angry and said, "Nonsense! It's just nonsense! Can Gao Xiaodong guard the goal?" "
Blanca also said very displeased: "It is indeed nonsense. The outside world says that Mourinho is going to Real Madrid. Is he breaking the rules?"
Moratti said angrily: "If we are stopped in the top 16 again, let him go."
Gao Xiaodong changed his clothes and returned to the stadium in front of the surprised eyes of all fans, no, fans all over the world.
At this moment, he is the focus of the entire world of football. There is no way, this kind of thing never happens in a century.
The players of Inter Milan still knew Gao Xiaodong's goalkeeping ability. In addition to his height, he completely defeated Orlandoni. They all came over to hug Gao Xiaodong and cheer him up. After all, the first thing Gao Xiaodong faced was to save penalty kicks.
Gao Xiaodong had a relaxed expression when he walked towards the goal. Saving a penalty kick depends on luck. The goalkeeper is not under much pressure, but the person who takes the penalty kick is under a lot of pressure.
When he was about to reach the penalty spot, Gao Xiaodong suddenly had a bad idea. He stood on the penalty spot and bowed to the fans in all directions, while stamping hard on the turf with his feet.
Gao Xiaodong weighed a lot and was strong. After he made this bow, the turf near the penalty spot had been twisted to pieces, as if the ground had been turned over.
But the eyes of the whole audience were attracted by Gao Xiaodong's gesture of bowing. Some people felt that Gao Xiaodong was showing off, and some felt that Gao Xiaodong was timid, but they did not expect that Gao Xiaodong was causing trouble.
Chelsea's first penalty kicker is Frank Lampard. At such a critical moment, Drogba will not compete with Lampard.
The pressure on Lampard is not great. After all, he is already half a half ahead and there is one more player. This penalty is life or death for Inter Milan, but not so important for Chelsea.
When Lampard came to the penalty spot with the ball in his arms, he was dumbfounded. Damn it, who made the tackle here? The turf was almost twisted together, the ball was not stable, and the front of the penalty spot was also used. The spikes slipped into a few grooves.
Just when he was confused, Lampard saw Gao Xiaodong smiling at him, and he immediately remembered that it turned out that this kid was causing trouble while bowing.
Seeing Lampard let the ball go for a long time and then stepping on the turf, the fans in the stands booed loudly and shouted, "Delay time! Yellow card! Delay time! Yellow card!"
Lampard did take a long time to prepare. The referee had just sent off Inter Milan's goalkeeper and awarded a penalty kick. Naturally, he had to find some balance and immediately showed Lampard a yellow card and asked him to start the penalty kick immediately.
Gao Xiaodong originally wanted to make Lampard's free throws more difficult, but he didn't expect that Lampard would get a yellow card. He couldn't help laughing.
Lampard was furious. He said angrily to Gao Xiaodong, "It's better to punish you before laughing. Your shameless methods are useless."
Gao Xiaodong smiled disdainfully and pointed to the left side of the goal, "Welcome to shoot!"
After watching the psychological battle between Gao Xiaodong and Lampard, the on-site commentator Reka said happily: "Xiaodong Gao is very experienced. He is putting pressure on Lampard. Lampard just received another yellow card and his mood fluctuates greatly. , maybe Xiaodong Gao can create miracles. Which angle should we see Lampard shoot from? Low ball or high ball?"
The eyes of Inter Milan fans were all focused on the goal. Countless people painted crosses on their chests, praying to God to bless Inter Milan and help the guy who had never guarded the goal save a penalty kick.
Lampard's penalty kicks are very stable. Against West Ham this season, he took three heavy penalties and scored all three times, beating the opponent's goalkeeper to submission.
Gao Xiaodong was engaged in psychological warfare with Lampard, but Lampard just hit the lower left corner.
During the run-up, Lampard was very careful, fearing to make the mistake of Terry slipping. Fortunately, the run-up went smoothly. However, when he ran in front of the ball and pushed the ball with the arch of his foot, Lampard clearly found that the ball was coming from behind. The center rolled to the side of the penalty spot.
It was too late to change. Lampard bit the bullet and pushed hard. When his foot touched the ball, Lampard felt a chill in his heart. He could clearly feel the ball hitting the instep.
Sure enough, after the ball flew out, it did not touch the ground, became a half-high ball, and deviated from the expected trajectory.
When Lampard touched the ball, Gao Xiaodong took a decisive step across and dived to the left. He believed that the impetuous Lampard would play on the left.
If Lampard hits the right side, it can only be said to be bad luck, and the penalty kick depends on luck.
Sure enough, the ball flew to the left. It turned out to be a half-high ball with not much power. Gao Xiaodong saved the ball from the baseline with one palm when it was about to hit the goal post.
Seeing the ball flying out of the baseline, the whole audience was excited.
All the Nella players jumped up instantly, and many people had tears in their eyes. They clapped and cheered: "The penalty was missed! The penalty was saved! Lampard missed the penalty! God! bless!"
Mourinho ran excitedly to the sidelines for more than ten meters, then jumped up and shook his fist fiercely to vent his frustration.
Commentator Reka was stunned, "Oh God! What happened to Lampard? He actually missed a penalty kick. He faced Gao Xiaodong, who had never guarded a goal before!"
Abramovich in the VIP box was dumbfounded. He sighed: "The penalty kick was awarded like this."
Moratti, who had been standing all the time, sat down on the sofa with a look of disbelief on his face, "This must be great luck."
Ancelotti was dumbfounded. Lampard actually kicked such a poor penalty kick. Gao Xiaodong, who had never guarded a goal before, actually saved a penalty kick. Is it possible that Inter Milan had to change their fate against the odds?
