Chapter 860 Mourinho Guessed Right!

As is customary, the head coaches of both sides announced the starting roster before the game.

The lineups of both teams are very neat, and there is no cumulative suspension of players, so they all play with the strongest lineup.

Inter Milan is the home team tonight, with Mourinho in a four-three-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Cesar, the back line is from left to right are Chivu, Lucio, Samuel and Maicon, the midfield is Thiago Motta, Cambiasso and Zanetti, the front It was Pandev, Diego Milito and Eto'o.

It is said to be four, three and three, but in fact, from the perspective of Inter Milan for most of the season, Pandev should be positioned further back, while Diego Milito and Eto'o are more cruising on the two sides. and aggressive retracement.

In the counterattack, Milito's tactical role and Eto'o's speed, are quite terrible.

This was on full display in the first leg of the semi-final against Barcelona.

Real Madrid is the visiting team tonight, and Benitez still adopts a four-three-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Casillas, the back line is Marcelo, Fermaelen, Ramos and Abeloa from left to right, and the midfielder is Mascherano and Xavi Alonso behind. , Sneijder is in the middle, and the frontcourt is the trident combination of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben.

In the selection of the starting lineup, Benitez replaced Maxwell with Marcelo, who has stronger attacking ability, which also represents Real Madrid's attitude in tonight's game and shows that the team wants to actively seize the offensive idea. .

As for Kaka not starting, this is not surprising, because Kaka has been injured for half a year, and his performance is not stable enough after his comeback. In such an important final, it is not appropriate to rashly start him.

…………

After a brief Champions League final ceremony before the game, Real Madrid and Inter Milan players, led by England referee Webber, walked into the stadium one after another when the St.

Nearly two-thirds of the Real Madrid fans in the audience have an advantage in terms of momentum, which is also Real Madrid's home advantage tonight.

However, although the fans of Inter Milan are at a disadvantage in number, they are not too much in terms of momentum.

Obviously, the duel on the field also extends to the stands.

When Yang Yang walked behind the team, led by the captain Casillas, shaking hands with the referee team and the Inter players one by one, he clearly felt the hostility and fighting spirit in the eyes of the Inter players.

In the current European football, all the defensive players of the team are proud of freezing Yang Yang, let alone in such an important and crucial final.

Mourinho has always been known for being cautious, and this game was no different.

In addition to arranging Maicon on the right, he also made the Argentine veteran Zanetti, who used to play as a right back, appear in the position on the right of the third midfielder. This is obviously to hope that Zanetti and Maicon can both At the same time freeze Yang Yang.

In addition, Eto'o's counterattack in the front will also be a headache for Real Madrid, especially for Marcelo's side, which must be something Real Madrid needs to pay attention to.

However, for these, Yang Yang is also used to it.

After returning to their respective half, the two sides set up a battle, Casillas and Zanetti guessed, and Real Madrid lost the right to serve.

...

When the referee Webber blew the whistle, Inter Milan kicked off quickly.

Milito passed the ball to Eto'o, and the Cameroon striker quickly returned to the back line.

Yang Yang, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Robben rushed forward at the same time, approaching Inter Milan's backline.

Former Real Madrid central defender Samuel chased the ball all the way back, grabbed ahead of Yang Yang, and was assigned to Maicon on the right.

Yang Yang immediately changed direction and chased after Maicon.

The Brazilian right-back sent the ball to Eto'o up front, but as soon as Eto'o got the ball, Real Madrid had already finished controlling the situation around him. A moment, steals by Mascherano.

Yang Yang turned his back to the attacking direction in the frontcourt and raised his hand for the ball.

When the ball arrived, he immediately passed it back to Marcelo who was plugged in from the left, and turned around and quickly chased behind Maicon.

Marcelo understood and quickly made a long pass over the top, sending the ball to the direction of Yang Yang's sprint.

Maicon stayed behind Marcelo, Zanetti chased Yang Yang all the way back to defense, and blocked on the inside, not giving Yang Yang a chance to cut in, but Yang Yang's left foot was also very flexible, stopped the ball after catching up, and just accelerated to the bottom line. , forcibly used speed to get rid of Zanetti and made a cross with his left foot.

In the penalty area, under the interference of Lucio behind him, Ibrahimovic raised his right foot and pushed Yang Yang's pass to a higher position, trying to get behind him. Point to Robben.

But at the critical moment, Qi Wu took the lead to clear the ball and defused Real Madrid's first attack after the opening.

The entire Bernabeu stadium is also a sigh of regret.

...

"Real Madrid attacked very resolutely after the opening, but Inter Milan's defense was also very good, leaving no flaws for Real Madrid."

"It can be seen that the players of both teams have done their homework before the game, and their state has been adjusted well. From the beginning of the game, they went directly to the theme. I believe this will be a very exciting duel."

"Look at this time, it's still Real Madrid's attack, or it's passed to the left and handed over to Yang Yang."

"Yang Yang took the ball and faced the left and right flanking attacks of Maicon and Zanetti, and Sneijder came to respond."

"Beautiful two-to-one, Yang Yang dribbled the ball to the middle..."

"Zanetti fouled decisively, and the referee gave Real Madrid a free kick in the frontcourt."

"This time it's a bit farther and it's on the left."

"It should be said that Zanetti's fouls are very decisive and very experienced. He knows very well under what circumstances he will not give the opponent a chance. I believe Mourinho must have focused on the foul area of ​​the team before the game. Yang Yang's direct Free kicks are also a very important scoring weapon for Real Madrid."

"This time, Marcelo will take the penalty. It seems that Yang Yang also feels that he is not sure and wants to cooperate."

"Real Madrid took a free kick, and at the back point, Qi Wu grabbed the first point again."

"The ball is still under Real Madrid's control, handed over to Xavi Alonso, and the long pass goes to the front of the penalty area to find the center."

"Ibrahimovic grabbed the first point with Lucio, and the Brazilian central defender made a header and came back."

"Sneijder grabbed the point, took it forward, and shot from a long distance."

"Taller!"

"It was the first shot of the night by both teams, from Real Madrid midfielder Sneijder."

"It took more than three minutes to take a shot. Inter Milan's defense tonight was very tight, especially in the flanks and the middle. It can be said that they deployed a lot of troops and did not give Yang Yang and Robben the slightest space."

...

"It's still an attack for Yang Yang."

"Marcelo came up to answer, and then passed it back to Yang Yang..."

"Yang Yang dribbled the ball and forcibly broke through Maicon..."

"Maicon is chasing behind, and the two are competing for speed."

"Yang Yang entered the penalty area, made an emergency stop, then buckled, and crossed to the middle, there is a chance..."

"Oh, Ibrahimovic fell in the penalty area of ​​Inter Milan, the Swedish center is a little bit worse."

"The referee Webber signaled that Samuel's defense was not fouled."

"We looked at the slow-motion replay and it was indeed a very timely tackle. Samuel and Lucio flanked Zlatan Ibrahimovic one after the other and did not give the Swedish center a chance to shoot. ."

"Yang Yang's forcible breakthrough this time is very beautiful, but unfortunately, Real Madrid's attack is still a little worse."

...

"Look at this time, Xavi Alonso scored the ball to the right and handed it to Robben."

"Robben lined up on the sidewalk, one-on-one, picked the ball very well, Robben was very fast, got rid of Qiu, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, faced Cambiasso, and made a beautiful cross from the bottom …”

"The ball goes to the middle, Ibrahimovic..."

"Lucio blocked Zlatan Ibrahimovic's shot at a crucial moment."

"Real Madrid has been very aggressive during this period of time."

"In the first ten minutes, Real Madrid can be said to have the advantage, and Inter Milan is very passive. We have seen such scenes in the two rounds between Inter Milan and Barcelona in the semi-finals, but the final results of the two games are amazing. Surprisingly, Inter kept the goal and won."

"Let's see if Inter Milan continues to beat Real Madrid tonight? Or will the Galaxy battleship win the 10th Champions League at its own home?"

...

The trend of the game is basically the same as the commentator's comments and the guesses of the pre-game critics.

Real Madrid had the advantage from the very beginning, while Inter Milan was passively beaten everywhere.

But just like the two-leg match between Inter Milan and Barcelona in the semi-final, the Nerazzurri relied on tenacious defense to make the 30-meter area in front of their own goal almost monolithic, leaving no space for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid hit a furious attack in the first ten minutes of the opening, and created opportunities one after another.

It was not until the 14th minute that Inter Milan made a counterattack, but Diego Milito made a cross from the left side of the penalty area.

The Nerazzurri's first shot took place in the 24th minute. It was a long-range shot from Pandev, which also failed to create a threat, but Real Madrid also failed to shake Inter Milan's defense.

Yang Yang was as active as ever on the left side. Even if Maicon and Zanetti joined forces, they could not freeze Yang Yang's performance. They could only isolate him as much as possible without giving him a chance to face the goal directly. Try to cut off the cooperation between Yang Yang and his teammates.

This style of play is the same as when Inter Milan restricted Messi, and even Mourinho invested more defensive forces.

Real Madrid changed tactics many times to play on the right, but Robben also did not have much advantage over Zivor.

With four backs, three defensive midfielders, and a frontcourt trident that actively returned to defense, Inter Milan almost blocked any space for Real Madrid that might threaten the goal through this tight defensive formation.

Mourinho doesn't even care about the disparity in ball possession. He only cares about one thing, and that is whether the team can hold it.

Because he believes that as long as the team can hold on, with Real Madrid's unstable back line, the flaws will be exposed sooner or later.

And it turns out that Mourinho was right!
