Chapter 685: The Coquettish Outer Instep

After Inter Milan shrank, Manchester United turned from defense to attack, but it failed to pose much of a threat. Five minutes later, the first half ended, and both sides retired and returned to the locker room to rest.

Gao Xiaodong, who scored a goal, became the favorite of Inter Milan fans. When he came off the field, he received a standing ovation from the fans. Inter Milan players also loved Gao Xiaodong very much, such as Zanetti and Eto'o. The old players came over to touch Gao Xiaodong's head and pat his shoulders.

Back in the locker room, Mourinho took the lead in praising all the starting players, and then deployed the tactics for the second half of the game: defend the counterattack, fight for the midfield, and do not press out to attack.

Finally, Mourinho made a move that confused all the players. He turned off the lights in the dressing room and started playing the video.

Gao Xiaodong was surprised and whispered to Stankovic: "Does Mourinho want to show us a short movie?"

"This..." Stankovic said with a wry smile: "Mourinho wants to play music for us."

Soon the screen was played, and it turned out to be an interview. On the screen, an old black man was being interviewed at home, speaking a language that Gao Xiaodong could not understand. Just when Gao Xiaodong felt confused, he suddenly heard Eto'o burst into tears. Gao Xiaodong suddenly realized that this old black man was Eto'o's father, and the person holding the microphone was not a reporter, but a staff member of Inter Milan.

The parents of the players who subsequently entered the 18-man roster appeared on the TV screen one after another, expressing their blessings to their children and hoping that they would win the final victory. The players in the Inter Milan dressing room were all extremely excited, and many even Cried loudly.

Gao Xiaodong has been nervously looking forward to it, not knowing whether his parents will appear in the picture.

Finally, his parents did appear on the TV. They were sitting in their courtyard talking to Gao Xiaodong thousands of miles away.

Father Gao: "Xiaodong, I'm very happy that you reached the finals. You are worthy of being my son. Play hard and come back with a championship. Fans all over China are waiting for you to return with honor."

Gao Mu: "Don't worry about us. We are fine. We eat well and sleep well. You play well, don't worry about winning or losing, and go home early!"

"Dad! Mom! Don't worry! I will definitely bring the championship home!"

Gao Xiaodong finally couldn't help it anymore, and tears flowed out as if they were free.

After the interview screen was played, Mourinho looked at the time and said: "Everyone has seen it. Now, everyone is waiting for us to win the game and win the Champions League. I don't want to say anything more. In the second half, It will definitely be more difficult, but I believe in you, you will definitely win this Champions League trophy for the team and yourself! Let’s go!!”

This may be the least time Mourinho talks in the locker room all season, but the players are in excellent mental condition, and they all walk to the court with high spirits like clockwork.

The game restarted and Inter Milan continued its defensive counterattack tactics. With only 45 minutes left, Manchester United had to press out and attack in an attempt to equalize the score early.

As soon as Mourinho returned to the coaching bench, Sneijder left his seat and came to his side, whispering: "Coach, let's defend now. Xiaodong can play as a defensive midfielder. Let me play as an attacking midfielder."

Sneijder was on the bench because he was injured in the Coppa Italia match against Roma. When healthy, he usually starts, assisting Gao Xiaodong in the offense.

Although Sneijder has not fully recovered yet, this is the Champions League final at the Bernabeu. Sneijder was kicked out of the Bernabeu like a dog by Real Madrid last season. Now he is extremely eager to play and beat Real Madrid in person. s face.

Mourinho understands Sneijder's thoughts very well, but this is a Champions League final. With 1:0, he cannot let Sneijder, who has just recovered from injury, take risks unless the team secures victory.

"Wesley, don't worry, you will definitely have a chance to play, but not yet."

Mourinho patted Sneijder on the shoulder.

Let him return to his seat.

Sneijder had no choice but to return to his seat and continue to be a spectator.

After Inter Milan took the lead, Gao Xiaodong retreated at least ten meters, positioning himself in front of the two midfielders Stankovic and Cambiasso, mainly to keep an eye on Manchester United's midfield commander Scholes. .

Gao Xiaodong has flexibility, strength, speed and cunning. With him beside Scholes, it is difficult for Scholes to get the ball, let alone organize the offense. Manchester United's central attack is almost completely blocked except for long passes. strangle to death.

Fortunately, Manchester United has never been a team that relies mainly on penetration from the middle. Their impact style of play relies more on the two wings.

However, after Inter Milan's formation shrank, the full-backs Eto'o and Pandev completely withdrew to protect their full-backs. Due to Gao Xiaodong's retreat, the defensive pressure on the two midfielders was greatly reduced, and more energy was used to support the wingers. Defensively.

Manchester United's main attack point is Valencia.

Valencia, who has space, is very powerful, but without space, under double-teaming, Valencia's role is greatly reduced. Not only is it difficult to get the opportunity to pass from the bottom, but once it is intercepted, Pandev will immediately counterattack.

Although Pandev's speed is not as fast as Eto'o on the other side, he is much faster than Gary Neville. After several counterattacks, Gary Neville's position became deeper and deeper, and he was even less able to support Valencia.

In the 55th minute of the game, Manchester United changed the direction of their attack and passed the ball to Evra, allowing Evra and Park Ji-sung to attack.

Evra passed the ball to Park Ji-sung and quickly set the edge himself.

Park Ji-sung saw Eto'o following Evra closely. He did not pass the ball. He rushed towards Maicon with the ball, changing directions continuously, trying to break through Maicon.

Maicon is known as the world's best right back. He is good at both offense and defense. He has no fear when facing players like Park Ji-sung. He responded calmly and suddenly stepped forward to steal the ball when Park Ji-sung changed his focus.

Maicon passed the ball to Stankovic and moved forward quickly. Stankovic passed the ball over again. Maicon had already thrown away Park Ji-sung and dribbled the ball towards Manchester United's half at high speed.

Behind Maicon, Park Ji-sung and Evra desperately chased back, Eto'o also ran forward desperately, and the four people started an offensive and defensive pursuit on the wing.

Seeing a chance to counterattack, Gao Xiaodong in the middle immediately left Scholes and ran forward to meet him.

Milito took the lead and went straight behind Vidic and Ferdinand.

Maicon's speed is not slow, but he was running with the ball and could not use his extreme speed. He was caught up by Park Ji-sung just after entering the 30-meter area.

Maicon heard the gasping behind him and knew that it would be difficult for him to get rid of Park Ji-sung's entanglement, so he passed the ball directly to Gao Xiaodong in the middle.

Under normal circumstances, Gao Xiaodong should put the ball in a straight line and then continue dribbling forward. However, Gao Xiaodong has Fletcher in front of him and Scholes behind him. If he stops the ball and then dribbles it, it will be difficult to get rid of the entanglement of these two people. .

At this moment, Gao Xiaodong had an idea. He didn't stop the ball. He flicked the outside instep of his left foot against the ball coming horizontally. The ball drew an extremely beautiful arc and bypassed Fletcher in front, and then crossed over. The head of center back Ferdinand fell between Ferdinand and Vidic.

This was a very imaginative pass from the outside of the instep. None of the Manchester United players had thought of it. However, Milito and Gao Xiaodong cooperated tacitly and were eager to score. They did not stop running. After Gao Xiaodong passed the ball, he happened to hit it at high speed. Sliding between Ferdinand and Fletcher, he grabbed the spot before the two defenders.

"pretty!"

"So imaginative!"

"It's so beautifully passed on!"

"This coquettish outer instep!"

"More sexy than Quaresma!"

…

Before the goal was scored, Gao Xiaodong's pass made the Inter Milan fans at the scene couldn't help but praise him. Quaresma even stood up and shouted: "Study my trick, I want the copyright!"
