Chapter 163 Ledesma's Gambling

Mourinho's countermeasure is to let Eto'o and Sneijder team up to pinch Modric, and if necessary, they can foul. M

Anyway, it is to compress Modric's space and ask Modric to go wherever Sneijder and Eto'o will withdraw.

In this way, when Modric advances, the three midfielders don't have to come up to defend, but let Sneijder and Eto'o defend Modric.

The main task of the three defensive midfielders is to limit the performance of David Silva and Gotze.

After all, the positions and functions of David Silva and Gotze are no longer like two wingers...

※ ※ ※

This response can be regarded as very targeted.

It not only made up for the shortcomings, but also continued to limit Lazio's offense.

It can be said to be a very good response.

but……

Mourinho may not be clear that Lazio's offense is not driven solely by Modric, David Silva and Gotze...

The role of the new tactic is to break the deadlock and win for the team at this time!

Chang Sheng walked to the sidelines and gestured to Ledesma.

Ledesma's gesture can be seen clearly, which means to let him actively participate in the offense.

His current position is on the central midfielder. When the team is attacking, his position will be advanced to a position close to the midfielder.

This position is indeed very conducive to participating in the offense.

Ledesma was watching the game while he was playing.

He found that Inter Milan responded quickly, which should be related to the level of the opposing coach.

Mourinho's name is well-known throughout Europe.

Some media even compared Mourinho with his boss.

Of course, in Ledesma's mind, Mourinho is absolutely impossible to be compared with the boss, but he admits that Mourinho is a capable head coach.

Second only to the boss...

For every adjustment made by Lazio, Inter Milan will soon make the right one.

For example, Lazio asked Modric to retreat, and Inter Milan immediately asked Eto'o to defend Modric, and almost scored a goal.

Now Lazio took advantage of the gap in Inter Milan's defense in front of the penalty area and scored an equalizer goal.

Inter Milan also made adjustments immediately. They let Eto'o and Sneijder team up to defend Modric, and the three midfielders retreated...

So I should become a surprise soldier in this game...

Ledesma pondered for himself.

He should hide his strength, wait for the best opportunity, and kill him with one blow!

So although the boss let him actively participate in the offense.

But after analyzing the overall situation, Ledesma decided not to actively participate in the offense. Actively participate in the offense only when he thinks it is the best time...

※ ※ ※

The game continued, and Chang Sheng returned to the coach's bench after giving instructions, and began to watch the game with his arms folded.

But he didn't see any response from Ledesma to his arrangement...

He was not actively involved in the offense!

"What's going on here?" The assistant coach Di Matteo next to him also saw it. "Didn't Ledesma see your gesture?"

He asked Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng shrugged: "No, he saw it, and he also responded to my gestures."

"Then this is..."

Chang Sheng also frowned.

He didn't know what was going on.

There was no way Ledesma didn't understand his gestures. He also knew what he wanted him to do.

Then why didn't he listen?

Chang Sheng couldn't figure it out.

Chang Sheng decided not to think about it so much. If he loses this game, he will definitely make Ledesma realize how wrong it is to go against his will.

Even if the team wins the game, he has to ask Ledesma to explain, this thing is endless!

※ ※ ※

Ledesma didn't know that he had overwhelmed the boss, and he was still acting according to his plan.

Offensively, he's involved very little. It is just some ordinary transfer passes and running positions.

Instead of taking heavier and greater responsibilities in the offense, as Chang Sheng hopes, making some final passes, and when necessary, decisively plug in and threaten the opponent's goal with a long shot-in short. He should do what an all-around midfielder should do.

During this time, Modric had a hard time being defended by Eto'o and Sneijder, and David Silva and Gotze were also under the tight seal of the opponent's three midfielders. No decent chance.

Inter defended well and then they wanted to attack.

After all, this is their home field. If it's just a draw, it's a defeat for the home team.

Therefore, Inter Milan will definitely pursue victory in this game.

It is precisely because Ledesma knows this that he knows what Inter Milan will do next.

All he needs now is patience.

When Inter Milan began to attack aggressively, it was his chance.

In fact, Ledesma didn't know whether it was right for him to do so, but he thought about it carefully and felt that this was the approach with the highest chance of scoring.

If his team loses the game or draws the opponent, he knows that the boss will definitely make him responsible, then he will be responsible, at worst, he will play in the reserve team...

But Ledesma thinks that if he doesn't even dare to take such a responsibility, then what is the core of the midfield?

※ ※ ※

There is nothing wrong with Ledesma's analysis. It is absolutely impossible for Inter Milan to accept a draw with Lazio at their home court.

They just want to win.

This is what Mourinho specifically explained.

If they can't win this game, all their previous preparations will be meaningless!

Seeing that Lazio's offensive was contained by them, they naturally began to consider attacking.

In fact, even if they don't consider it, our head coach Mourinho will let them consider it.

Mourinho waved them on from the sidelines.

Ledesma knew that his chance had come.

※ ※ ※

Sneijder was caught between Ledesma and Meirelles at the front of the penalty area, and he sent the football away in a stumble.

He wanted to pass to Milito, but the ball was blocked by Jose Passarella, who had already seen through his pass attempt.

When Ledesma saw Passarella take the ball, he immediately turned and sprinted forward.

The fast one doesn't look like a midfielder, but a winger...

He knew that Jose Passarella would not pass the football to him from the start. He must run to attacking position.

Sure enough, Jose Passarella passed the football to Modric.

Inter Milan's counterattack was also very strong. Seeing Modric with the ball, Eto'o rushed forward immediately. Modric did not delay the matter, sent the football to the side with the outside of his instep, turned around and left.

The football fell to full-back Azpilicueta.

Azpilicueta sends the ball forward again.

Meireles receives the ball.

Eto'o still followed Modric, and Meireles didn't give him the football, but gave it to Ledesma.

Everyone understood the gesture of the boss before, and let Ledesma organize the attack.

But I don't know why Ledesma didn't hit it.

But now I still have to pass the ball to him, because there is no one to pass it to...

Both David Silva and Gotze are being watched by Inter Milan's midfield trio. Only Ledesma is still a reliable target.

※ ※ ※

"It's Lazio's counterattack! Can they get up to speed?"

Ledesma received the football. He looked left and right, and there was no better target for the pass.

So he decisively continued to dribble forward!

He dribbled the ball from near the center circle towards Inter Milan's goal.

It didn't take long to meet Sissoko.

Cambiasso is watching David Silva and Muntari is in charge of Gotze. It happened that Sissoko was empty in the middle.

Just when Sissoko came up, Ledesma passed the ball.

He didn't pass to David Silva, and he didn't pass to Gotze. Not to mention passing to Modric and Cavani, these people are man-marked and not the best passing targets.

Since this opportunity is hard-won, it cannot be wasted easily.

Ledesma was very risky when he decided on his plan, but he was calm and cautious when implementing the plan.

He doesn't have a good point of attack. This is the purpose of Inter Milan's defense, which is to prevent Lazio from having a good point of contact when attacking.

This forces the players with the ball to play against Inter Milan's midfield meat grinders.

But Ledesma has a passing target.

That is……

Meirelles!

He flicked the back of his foot. The football was passed to Meireles who was diagonally behind him.

Almost everyone in Inter Milan has goals, but the two defensive midfielders Ledesma and Meireles, their marking strength is not strong-who will focus on the two defensive midfielders?

If it was a defensive midfielder like Mota, they would definitely come up to contain it immediately.

After passing the ball. Ledesma continued to move forward.

Sissoko turned his attention to Meireles.

Both Mourinho and Meireles are Portuguese, and he attaches great importance to his compatriots, and he is quick to attack Sissoko. Meireles has a long shot, if you give him too much space. He may choose to shoot from a distance.

This is something to be aware of.

So Sissoko rushed forward.

As a result, Meirelles did not challenge him one-on-one, and passed the football back to Ledesma.

Ledesma is already approaching Inter Milan's back line!

After receiving the ball, he passed the football again, this time to Cavani.

After passing the ball, he didn't continue to rush in, but ran sideways.

Cavani saw his run and knew what he was going to do.

It's not just Meireles who has the ability to shoot from a distance!

Cavani used himself as a fortress and returned to football.

It just passed to the front of the running route of Ledesma.

Of course, Ledesma is good at long shots. How could Mourinho, who attaches great importance to intelligence collection, not know?

He knew it, and so did the Inter Milan players.

Even an idiot can see such an obvious back pass and direct shot!

This time, because it happened to be in the ribs, it was Maicon who rushed up to defend.

Ledesma did make a long-range shot. He adjusted his pace while running, and seemed to be planning to shoot directly.

But when his left foot swung high and fell, he poked the football with his toe!

Straight plug!

The football slipped between Maicon's legs, the Brazilian full-back looked back, and Lazio's No. 11 high-speed plugged in and caught up with the football!

"David Silva!!"

Lucio went around to grab Silva, but the distance was too far, he was only halfway, and David Silva had already kicked with his right foot!

The football arced in the air.

It just passed Julio Cesar's glove, then fell, and flew into the goal of Inter Milan!
