Chapter 622: Retire After Success
After 65 minutes of playing in the second half, Inter Milan still could not expand the score. Mourinho couldn't wait any longer. He called Thornton up and asked him to warm up and prepare to play.
When Thornton was warming up, fans began to discuss who Thornton would replace when he came on the field.
"It must be Pandev, he has the lowest status."
"Maybe it was Sneijder, who didn't break down Army's defense in the attacking midfield position."
"Maybe replace Stankovic and let Gao Xiaodong play as a defensive midfielder."
"It would be nice if Chivu doesn't get hurt."
…
Seeing Thornton warming up, Inter Milan's frontcourt players also have a sense of urgency. They run more actively and fight more fiercely. They hope to perform better and avoid being substituted in such an important game.
During this period, Inter Milan had a small climax. Sneijder and Pandev both had shooting opportunities, but no one could break the goal guarded by CSKA goalkeeper Akinfeev.
In the 70th minute of the game, Thornton finished warming up and went back to change clothes and prepare to play. At this time, Inter Milan was launching a wave of attacks. Gao Xiaodong quickly assisted the midfielder and continued to advance.
Entering the 30-meter area, Sneijder finally saw Gao Xiaodong and passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong. Then Aldonin defended to the side to prevent Gao Xiaodong and Eto'o from attacking the right back Shenikov.
Gao Xiaodong dribbled the ball and accelerated towards the baseline. Eto'o quickly wandered towards the penalty area, leaving Gao Xiaodong with space on the wing.
Gao Xiaodong stepped on the ball with his right foot and made an emergency stop. Aldonin stretched out his foot to sweep the ball out of the sideline while rushing forward, but Gao Xiaodong stepped on the ball with his right foot and then pulled with his experienced left foot. Aldonin swept the ball away. Got an empty one.
Aldonin suddenly stopped and turned around, and Gao Xiaodong accelerated his sprint again. Aldonin's footing was not stable and he was unable to follow, so he had to reach out to pull Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong suddenly lowered his head and accelerated, broke away from Aldonin's pull, rushed to the baseline and passed into the penalty area.
The ball did not pass center back A. Berezutsky headed the ball towards the sideline.
On the sidelines, Thornton had already changed his clothes and was ready to play, but the ball was always on the field. Now seeing Berezutsky heading the header towards the sideline, Thornton felt that it was almost done.
However, although the ball went out of the sideline in the air, Gao Xiaodong jumped up from the sideline and headed the ball back into the court, passing it to Eto'o.
With Shenikov's defense, Eto'o passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong again. Gao Xiaodong saw that Sneijder was open, so he passed the ball to Sneijder and quickly crossed to the penalty area.
When Sneijder received Gao Xiaodong's pass, he observed Gao Xiaodong's cross-cutting. He used the arch of his foot very selflessly to lift the ball to the ribs of the penalty area.
Goalkeeper Akinfeev saw Gao Xiaodong passing the ball to Sneijder and was a little distracted, because Sneijder was capable of long-range shots. After Sneijder lobbed the ball, Akinfeev rushed forward quickly. Go out and grab the landing spot.
Gao Xiaodong was farther away than Akinfeev, but he started first, and the two of them arrived at the landing point almost at the same time.
Gao Xiaodong jumped up high and smashed the ball towards the goal with the overwhelming momentum of a mountain.
Akinfeev is a little slower, but he has the advantage of using his hands.
The Russian goalkeeper jumped forward, clenched his fists and hit the ball.
Gao Xiaodong used his head, and Akinfeev hit him with both fists. This was too dangerous for Gao Xiaodong. If Akinfeev's fist did not hit the ball, but hit Gao Xiaodong's face, he would probably Gao Xiaodong would be directly hit with a concussion.
"Danger!"
"Too dangerous!"
"Forget it!"
"Hide!"
…
There were constant screams in the stands, and some female Inter Milan fans were afraid of seeing the blood splattering, so they covered their eyes and did not dare to look.
However, Gao Xiaodong didn't want to give up. Scoring this goal would seal the victory. He felt that the risk was worth taking.
Akinfeev couldn't tell who would touch the ball first, but no matter who touched the ball first, he and Gao Xiaodong would definitely collide.
This ball is related to the life and death of CSKA. Akinfeev will not consider whether Gao Xiaodong will be injured.
Instead, he yelled, "Get away!" and punched forward with both fists.
"Bang!" Gao Xiaodong's head hit the ball.
"Bang!" Akinfeev's fists hit Gao Xiaodong's cheek almost simultaneously.
The ball bounced from under Akinfeev into the net, and Gao Xiaodong and Akinfeev also collided solidly.
After being hit twice, the tough Gao Xiaodong finally suffered a big loss. He was almost limp and knocked out a meter away by Akinfeev.
Seeing the way Gao Xiaodong landed, experienced team doctor Kong Bi knew something was wrong and shouted: "The stretcher is coming in, Gao Xiaodong fainted."
"Quick, quick, quick." Mourinho also saw that something was wrong. Gao Xiaodong was his team's treasure. He rushed into the court anxiously with the team doctor.
Milito was very experienced. He quickly ran over and held Gao Xiaodong's mouth with his hands to prevent him from biting his tongue and choking. Eto'o was also pressing down on Gao Xiaodong.
"God bless Gao Xiaodong!"
"Gao Xiaodong must not get hurt!"
"If this is injured, how will Inter Milan fight from behind?!"
"We shouldn't have fought for the goal just now. If we didn't score the second goal, Inter Milan would still win!"
"Don't be like Ronaldo the Alien."
"Crow's Mouth!"
…
The Nella team in the stands were all anxious, worried and panicked. Gao Xiaodong had only been in Inter Milan for more than half a season, but he had already conquered the picky Inter Milan and became a hero in their hearts. At this moment, they saw Gao Xiaodong unconscious. At the stadium, the young fans had no choice but to think of Ronaldo, and of course they also thought of the season that fell short due to Ronaldo's injury.
Xiao Le, who was on the court, turned pale with fright and burst into tears. She quickly left the stands and ran towards the court.
At this time, team doctor Kong Bi and a stretcher also came over as quickly as possible. After simple treatment, Gao Xiaodong woke up, but he was still too soft to move. The medical staff quickly carried Gao Xiaodong out on a stretcher and sent him to him in an ambulance. Go to the hospital in Milan for examination and treatment.
The score became 2:0. Thornton came on to replace the injured Gao Xiaodong. The captain's armband was temporarily worn on Cesar's arm.
At this moment, Inter Milan's players and fans were not interested in playing, half of their thoughts were on Gao Xiaodong.
However, CSKA Moscow saw the opportunity. After the kick-off, they attacked Thornton's side with all their strength, hoping to score an away goal while Inter Milan was in chaos.
Krasic returned to the right wing. Facing the rookie Thornton, Krasic made a successful breakthrough for the first time and passed the ball to the penalty area. However, Nezid failed to grab the spot and was kicked by Lucio. Get out.
Keisuke Honda grabbed the spot and fired an angry shot. The ball went over the crossbar.
Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar kicked the goal kick, but the ball was grabbed by the Russian and he continued to attack Inter Milan's left wing.
Krasic failed to forcefully attack Thornton this time, and Thornton stole the ball. However, when Thornton assisted with the ball, Krasic stole the ball from behind again.
Krasic made a pass from the right rib, and A-Berezutsky passed a ground ball. Fortunately, Samuel scooped the ball out of the baseline.
Mourinho was very anxious and angry when he saw Inter Milan playing in such chaos. He took advantage of the dead ball opportunity and made another substitution. Pandev came off the field and replaced Muntari to strengthen the defense in the middle.
At the same time, Muntari also brought Mourinho's words, "Defend with all your strength. If you can't defend the 2:0 score, you are sorry for the goal that Gao Xiaodong desperately scored!"
Mourinho's substitutions and explanations were very timely. He allowed Inter Milan to wake up from the chaos, unify their thinking, and stick to the backcourt to beat CSKA Moscow's counterattack.
Although Gao Xiaodong's end damaged Inter Milan's strength and morale, they defended with all their strength. Muntari was almost always on the wing to help defend Thornton, and CSKA Moscow had no good solution.
After the 85th minute of the game, Mourinho replaced Motta and replaced Milito. Inter Milan set up an iron barrel formation. CSKA Moscow had no chance anymore and finally had to accept the result of a 2-goal defeat in the away game.
