Chapter 686: Attack Another City
The ball flew over in an arc. Milito, who was running in a straight line, stopped forward with his chest. He stopped the ball just in front of the top of the arc in the penalty area, and accelerated in a few steps to catch up.
Milito used the right amount of force to stop the ball. Because Gao Xiaodong's pass was too weird, goalkeeper Van der Sar did not attack at the first time. The ball fell to this position. Van der Sar was very embarrassed. He had no time to rush out to save the ball and could only Attack to block Milito's shot angle.
For the goalkeeper, if the opponent is allowed to form a single goal, he has already lost more than half.
This stop also gave Milito a great advantage. He hardly had to slow down, avoided being caught up and interfered by the Manchester United center back, and could focus on dealing with the goalkeeper.
Facing the desperate goalkeeper Van der Sar, Milito did not make any fancy moves. He confidently pushed the ball with his right foot. The ball flew past Van der Sar's feet. The distance was too close and goalkeeper Van der Sar fell to the ground. It was too late, and he stretched out his foot to block the ball without touching it. The ball flew directly into the lower right corner of the goal.
2:0
After scoring, Milito raised his arms high, took off his jersey and ran towards the stands.
Regardless of miracles, this was almost the goal that sealed the victory.
The Inter Milan players were so excited that they chased Milito towards the stands.
“Well done rice!”
"Beautifully done, Xiaodong!"
“Excellent combination!”
Teammates gathered around Gao Xiaodong and Milito, beating their chests, patting their heads and shoulders, and expressing their excitement and gratitude in various ways.
Mourinho's nerves became tense after Gao Xiaodong passed the ball. After Milito scored, Mourinho exploded. He raised his hands in the air and ran wildly on the sidelines shouting "goalgoal".
Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti is even crazier than Mourinho. The almost 70-year-old man jumped three feet high, shouting crazily about win, win, while hugging everyone around him.
Mendes can be said to be the calmest player on the Inter Milan frontline. Florentino even stood up and cheered and applauded, but Mendes just applauded calmly and smiled, looking like he was in control.
Mendes is the person who has the most confidence in Mourinho. After Gao Xiaodong scored, he did not believe that Manchester United could reverse the situation. Now Milito's goal only confirms his thoughts.
During the halftime break, Ferguson was afraid of Inter Milan's strong offensive power, so he did not immediately replace Park Ji-sung and replaced him with Nani. Unexpectedly, he still failed to defend. Gao Xiaodong's weird outside instep ripped open the defense. Milito struck out. The foot breaks the goal.
Ferguson was shocked, scared and anxious, but after all, he was a person who had experienced big storms. He had defeated Bayern in stoppage time in the Champions League final. After a moment of panic, Ferguson immediately calmed down.
If Manchester United could still patiently organize a counterattack when trailing by one goal, then now Manchester United must race against time to attack.
"Giggs, Berbatov, get ready to play."
Ferguson called over a winger and a center, explained the tactics to them, and asked them to warm up and prepare to play.
Five minutes later, Giggs and Berbatov came on at the same time, replacing Park Ji-sung and Fletcher.
Manchester United began to strengthen their attack.
Berbatov is nicknamed the handsome brother. He is a player who would rather take a walk and lose the ball than run wildly and mess up his head. He has superb shooting skills and often has brilliant strokes. However, because he did not run aggressively enough and could not force the opponent's back line, he was let go by Ferguson. On the bench.
Now Manchester United is in urgent need of scoring goals, and it no longer matters whether the defense is good or not. Even if Berbatov stands in the penalty area and cannot come out, as long as he can score goals, Ferguson will send him on.
The veteran Giggs was able to beat Nani to play, not because Nani was inferior in strength, but mainly because Nani was too independent. Facing Inter Milan's reinforced concrete defense line, Giggs' wisdom was more effective than Nani's breakthrough.
After Giggs and Berbatov came on the field, Manchester United had an extra striker in the middle, flying from both sides, greatly increasing their attack power and putting a lot of pressure on Inter Milan's defense.
Seeing Manchester United continuously creating threats, Berbatov, Rooney and Scholes all got shooting opportunities.
Inter Milan fans and players suddenly became nervous.
Mourinho's on-the-spot commanding ability is extremely strong, and he soon discovered the key to improving Manchester United's offensive power, which is Scholes's tandem role and Rooney's surprise role.
Rooney and Berbatov forced Inter Milan's defense into the middle, while Scholes delivered the ball to the weakest position of Inter Milan's defense.
Although Stankovic and Cambiasso took turns to guard Scholes, due to Rooney's strong personal ability, Stankovic and Cambiasso had to help defend Rooney, and it was difficult to focus all their energy on Scholes. on Erles.
After Mourinho found the crux, he immediately made substitution adjustments.
Sneijder had just actively challenged Sneijder and was replaced. He replaced Pandev. Gao Xiaodong retreated and played as a defensive midfielder to mark Scholes. Sneijder played as an attacking midfielder. Inter Milan's formation also changed to 4312.
Gao Xiaodong specially marked Scholes, but Scholes was immediately frozen. Not only was the series effect lost, but also the forward penetration and long-range shot were lost.
Without Scholes' connection, Manchester United's attacks on the left and right sides were blocked and could only pass back to the midfielder or defender before moving to the other side. After they moved, Inter Milan had already made up for the loopholes in the defense.
Mourinho's substitution adjustments were very targeted and very effective, directly weakening Manchester United's offense by 30%.
The offense was contained, and Ferguson was very anxious on the sidelines, but there was nothing he could do. This was already the strongest lineup he could put together. If he added a forward, he would be desperate, but his offensive power could not be improved much. It is not that time yet.
Gao Xiaodong dropped back to play as a defensive midfielder, but did not give up the offense. When he didn't have the ball, he immediately started to organize the offense, transporting the ball to the frontcourt, and quickly advanced to assist.
In the 65th minute of the game, Rooney dribbled the ball and was intercepted by Samuel. Samuel immediately passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong.
When Samuel passed the ball, Scholes was not far away from Gao Xiaodong. If Gao Xiaodong wanted to counterattack quickly, he had to pass the ball quickly to the frontcourt. However, Gao Xiaodong received the ball sideways and could not see the ball in the frontcourt. In this situation, only by picking the ball out can we find more passing points.
But Scholes will definitely take a tactical foul to prevent Gao Xiaodong from counterattacking.
It is not difficult for Gao Xiaodong to get rid of Scholes, but it is too difficult to prevent Scholes from fouling.
Gao Xiaodong was very cunning. He guessed that Scholes might use a foul to stop him. When the ball came over, he parked the ball behind Stankovic, bypassed Stankovic, and used Stankovic to Veach did a basketball pick-and-roll.
When Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball, Scholes quickly rushed over to steal the ball, preparing to foul if he couldn't steal it. He didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to use Stankovic as a pick-and-roll. He couldn't stop the car and bumped into Stankovic. On Qishen.
Gao Xiaodong got rid of Scholes, and Sneijder came back just in time to respond. Gao Xiaodong passed the ball to Sneijder and moved forward quickly.
Sneijder didn't stick to the ball. He didn't even turn around. He knocked his heel and passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong immediately.
This was a very beautiful pass, but Gao Xiaodong had no time to praise it. He had to launch a counterattack as quickly as possible to seal the victory as soon as possible.
After Ferguson replaced Fletcher, only Carrick was left as Manchester United's defensive midfielder. After Gao Xiaodong received Sneijder's heel pass, Inter Milan's frontcourt immediately formed a three-on-three situation: Gao Xiaodong, Eto'o, Milito vs Carrick, Ferdinand and Vidic.
