Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 137: A Little Higher, a Little Higher (Second Update, Please Vote for Me!)

Chen Yingxiong's idea is to use his own heavy blows to hit Inter Milan again and again. Let's see how long they can last.

So no matter what method it is, as long as the football comes to his feet, he will not hesitate to choose to shoot. He has tried long shots, headers, and grabbing points in the penalty area.

But the old guys at Inter Milan are really tougher than he thought.

In Chen Yingxiong's eyes, these Inter Milan players all transformed into figures like Huang Jiguang, blocking every shot he made with their bodies.

So until the end of the first half, he failed to score, and neither did anyone else in Liverpool.

The score is still 0:0

"Every time we get to the final, the game becomes ugly, and this game is no exception. Previously, Liverpool was a team that promoted offensive football, and they could score many goals in every game.

But like this game, they didn't score a single goal in the first half, which was the first time for them! "

"Inter Milan's tactics were very successful. They contained Chen Yingxiong. But it also killed the enjoyment of this game. That's why many people don't like this kind of football... What we want to watch is the wonderful goals, Rather than a dull clinging to it!”

"Inter Milan did a great job! They managed to keep Liverpool from scoring a goal in the 45 minutes of the first half! As long as they stick to this style of play, I believe there will be their moment in the second half!"

"The performance of the old guys at Inter Milan is admirable! They are united! We have rarely seen them work so hard and desperately... Come back with a championship!"

The commentators in England and Italy had completely different attitudes towards this first half.

From the perspective of Liverpool, the English commentator certainly hopes that the game will be more open, so that Liverpool will have a chance to score. The Italian commentator certainly hopes that the game will follow Inter Milan's rhythm, compressing space and time, and preventing Liverpool players from easily getting a chance to score.

It's just that England has to raise some big flags, and it can't look too ugly, so it has to bring out the ornamental and artistic qualities. In fact, if Liverpool had to defend to win the championship this time, they would not hesitate to support Liverpool to retreat and defend. They didn't care whether it was too utilitarian or not aggressive enough...

So to put it bluntly in football, winning is the most important thing, and any means must serve victory. Even for a team like Barcelona, ​​which insists on attacking football and controlling the ball, it is not because it looks good. The fundamental reason is because they firmly believe that they can win by doing so, and facts have proven that their choice is correct.

But Barcelona's model is completely unsuitable for other teams, only for themselves. Therefore, if other teams also follow Barcelona's method to compete for the championship, they will die miserably. They are completely imitating others.

During the halftime break, Villas-Boas seemed very happy. He hugged or high-fived the players one by one at the door of the locker room, as if he had won the game.

Although he didn't play that game, he saw hope of winning the game from this first half.

As long as they continue to hold on like this, Liverpool will definitely become restless, especially Chen Yingxiong. In his impression, Chen Yingxiong was a player with a bad temper. A bad temper meant that he had poor patience. If Liverpool fails to score in the second half, Chen Yingxiong will have an impatience that affects his performance. At that point, Inter Milan will have a chance.

"Guys, you did a good job!" After all the players returned to the locker room, Villas-Boas clapped his hands and said.

"From the faces of the Liverpool players, I can already see the anxiety in their hearts. There is only one half, so they did not show it too obviously. We continued to do this in the second half. If the hero does not score, Liverpool will not be a threat. !”

Meanwhile, in the Liverpool dressing room, Martin O'Neill was comforting his players.

"It's nothing, we are just a little unlucky. The initiative is still in our hands... However, we must be especially careful about their counterattack in the second half."

This is what Martin O'Neill is most worried about. He is afraid that in the second half, the Liverpool players will become more anxious because they can't score. They will play higher and higher, leaving a lot of space behind them, and then ask Inter Milan to play a defensive counterattack. It was completely ruined, so he kept comforting the players and calming their emotions, telling them that in fact, their performance was great, but they were just unlucky. Maybe things would turn out better in the second half? Score a goal sooner or later, don't be too anxious...

The head coaches of both sides ended the halftime break with different mentality, and the players of the two teams changed sides to fight again in the second half.

The game starts again.

In the future, this Europa League final will definitely not be the kind of great matchup that can go down in history like the Istanbul night between Liverpool and AC Milan.

But this does not hinder the fierce competition between players from both sides.

After all, not many people actually care about being famous in history, they just want a championship, it's that simple.

In the second half of the game, Chen Yingxiong did not change his strategy. He still shot when he had the ball. This was a good sign in the eyes of Villas-Boas. This means that Chen Yingxiong's temper is getting irritable little by little. It is like this now. In the future, he will definitely not be able to see his teammates in good positions and will only shoot wildly by himself.

If he keeps doing this, Liverpool will be doomed and Inter Milan will have their chance, just be patient...

Suarez tried to break through into the penalty area, but couldn't find any space for a long time. He wanted to pass to Chen Yingxiong. There were two Inter Milan players in front of him and Chen Yingxiong. They were stuck on the most critical passing route. If the ball is passed, it will definitely be lost.

Helpless, in the end he had no choice but to take a long shot, and in a hurry the football flew directly to the stands behind.

He looked at the missed shot and spat in displeasure: "Damn it!"

Chen Yingxiong ran up and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Lewis. We have plenty of opportunities."

"They defend so intensively, where are our chances?" Suarez didn't believe it.

Chen Yingxiong pointed to himself: "Here I am.,,

Suarez rolled his eyes: "Just brag!" "Don't believe it, Luis. I can already feel that their wall is cracking. Although they are indeed tenacious enough, they have a fatal flaw! "

Seeing what Chen Yingxiong said was so passionate, Suarez was also curious: "What's the fatal flaw?"

"Their turn has been huge." Chen Yingxiong replied.

"What's this? I have a lot of experience. Didn't you see that my positions are very good? You don't need to run at all, you just need to position yourself. Basically, you have no better choice whether you are dribbling or passing. Already..."

"No matter how hard they get stuck, they can't stand and defend, Louis." Chen Yingxiong said confidently. "They will always be tired. Even if they are tenacious, their bodies cannot keep up with their spirits. Of course, to accelerate their collapse, we need to put pressure on them." "What are you going to do?"

Chen Yingxiong patted his forehead: "Use your head as a hammer and smash it to pieces with one hammer!" Louis slapped his hand: "I understand, after saying so many words, you just want me to pass the high ball to you!" Chen Yingxiong Give him a thumbs up: "Whoever knows me is like a cannon!"

"You just say it's not good to ask me to pass the high ball. It's useless to talk so much."

"It's not that simple! It's not just a high ball, it's a higher ball than the previous high ball!" Chen Yingxiong made a gesture to indicate that the football should be as high as possible.

"Aren't you afraid that you can't stand it?" "You pass it over. If you can't stand it, that's my problem. Just pass it on!" "

After Chen Yingxiong finished speaking to Suarez, he turned around and ran to Sanchez. He told Sanchez the same meaning again, but without so much nonsense, he directly gestured to Sanchez to give him a higher score than before. The ball comes.

He was going to break through the old guys' defense from the air.

For a championship, he plans to maximize his jumping ability!

In fact, Liverpool also had high balls before, but the entire Inter Milan team was united. Whether it was blocking crosses from the wing or restricting Chen Yingxiong in the middle, they did a good job. In addition, these old guys from Inter Milan are very familiar with Chen Yingxiong’s headers. When Chen Yingxiong was in Naples, he relied on his head skills to beat all the invincible opponents in the world. Inter Milan suffered a loss on his head. It’s not just once or twice.

Therefore, Inter Milan's players paid special attention to guarding against Chen Yingxiong's header.

Therefore, Chen Yingxiong did not have any good header opportunities before.

But experience shows that competing with Chen Yingxiong for a header is a very physically demanding thing, because you have to jump with all your strength every time to ensure that he doesn't easily push the football on your head.

So there is a situation where even if a central defender does not run the whole game and just stands in front of the goal and competes with Chen Yingxiong for the top position, after fifteen minutes of the second half, he will be out of breath and feel exhausted.

In fact, the body does not have multiple noses, but the huge psychological pressure will make his body breathless and make his body feel very tired...

This is why we all say that Chen Yingxiong's header is a "strategic deterrent weapon." Even if he doesn't score, as long as he jumps up, you will be terrified, and then force yourself to use all your strength to compete with him. Because you don’t know if he will score a goal this time when he takes off, you don’t dare to neglect it, you don’t even dare to take a chance, so you have to try your best every time, keep taking off, taking off, and taking off again...

How can we not get tired if things go on like this?

Not to mention that Liverpool now deliberately increase the height of the pass when passing the ball, which makes them have to work harder than before to jump to the specified height.

On the one hand, this is to bypass the Inter Milan defender who intercepts them on the wing. On the other hand, it is naturally to maximize Chen Yingxiong's height and jumping ability. This will definitely bring a great burden to the two old guys of Inter Milan! .
