Chapter 59 The Beginning of Wall Defense

Mourinho did not play against Lazio away.

Although some media wanted him to do so, he insisted on his own opinion. In this game, he sent three midfielders to come up. And did not let Zlatan Ibrahimovic start the game.

This was beyond the expectations of many people, even Chang Sheng's.

The three midfielder Chang Sheng wanted to get it, but Ibrahimovic was not allowed to play... Chang Sheng really didn't expect it.

What he does know is that it was when Mourinho coached Inter Milan that Ibrahimovic was officially promoted to the top of the ball. In Mourinho's team, he has many privileges that help He scored 25 goals in a season and became the league golden boot.

It also has something to do with his self-expansion in the future and running to Barcelona.

But in any case, Ibrahimovic is Mourinho's favorite general.

Mourinho made him a substitute...

Isn't the relationship between these two people as good as I know?

But Chang Sheng had to admit that Mourinho was right not to let Ibrahimovic play.

If Zlatan Ibrahimovic plays, he will be restricted to death by Jose Passarella.

In this way, it means that Inter Milan has consumed an offensive spot in vain.

Played as a center forward, but it didn't work. Isn't Inter Milan playing ten against eleven?

So instead of going to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who will definitely be stared at and frozen, he went to Cruise, who looks very ordinary.

Compared with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cruise has no star flavor at all.

But that's exactly what Mourinho needs.

Twenty-five minutes into the game, Lazio's offensive was strong, but they were not able to break through Inter Milan's goal.

The commentator Caresa also believed that it was 25 minutes. Although Lazio's offense was as sharp as ever, Inter Milan's defense was obviously better.

"I think. Chang really met his opponent!"

When he said this,

The telecast happened to give Mourinho a close-up.

In the camera, Mourinho stands on the sidelines, watching everything that is happening in the stadium with a serious face.

His team suffered wave after wave of attacks from Lazio, but he did not appear anxious.

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng turned his head and glanced at Mourinho who was standing on the sidelines like himself.

He thought of those games Mourinho played at Real Madrid.

Guardiola's dream team is very strong, who is the only one who can suppress them?

It's Mourinho.

Even earlier, when there was no constant victory in the world, who could deflate Rijkaard's dream team two?

It's Mourinho.

When he was at Chelsea, Mourinho once said that "in the case of eleven against eleven, Barcelona will never beat us."

At Inter Milan. Mourinho's team eliminated the Dream Team 3 in the semi-finals of the Champions League, broke into the Champions League final held at the Bernabeu, and finally succeeded in winning the cup, achieving the first real 3rd team in his career. Crown glory.

At Real Madrid, 0:5 from the start. And finally ended the dream team's monopoly on La Liga. Mourinho deserves the most credit for it. When Real Madrid played Barcelona in the past, everyone, including the players, always seemed to lack confidence. Although the slogans on their mouths were louder and louder, it was difficult to hide their inner weakness.

It was Mourinho who made Real Madrid get rid of Barcelona phobia, and it was he who made Real Madrid fans feel at ease watching the national derby.

Having said so much, I just want to explain. To deal with his own set of tactics similar to Barcelona, ​​the man in front of him has a set...

Tough defense and super mental willpower, coupled with sharp counterattacks, this is Mourinho's magic weapon.

The most representative is the game where Mourinho's Inter Milan eliminated Barcelona at the Nou Camp. In the case of one person missing early on. Inter Milan shrunk their defense, gave up possession of the ball, and gave up all Kong Jiaen outside the 30-meter area to Barcelona, ​​and finally defended a 0:1. Only allowed Barcelona to score one goal, and finally eliminated Barcelona with a total score of 3:2.

That game was a typical example of parking a bus in front of the goal.

Now. Chang Sheng has already seen the embryonic form of this tactic.

The match in front of him was similar to the one in Chang Sheng's memory.

Of course, what Inter Milan did was not that extreme. They still have offense, that is, defensive counterattack.

In this game, Mourinho played a defensive counterattack.

Play solid defense, then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

If there is no good opportunity to counterattack, I would rather continue to defend.

In short, everything is based on not conceding the ball.

As long as the ball is not conceded, the game will still be played.

If you lose the ball...it's hard.

Although Mourinho's Inter Milan has much better willpower than Mancini's Inter Milan, Lazio is a different opponent.

To be scored first by a team like Lazio would be difficult for any team.

Even Mourinho's Inter Milan is no exception.

Moreover, he has coached this team for less than half a season, and Mourinho does not believe in his team very much.

Even so, Inter Milan's tough defensive counterattack still gave Lazio a headache.

They can't hit the line.

Because they may be counterattacked by Inter Milan.

Ibrahimovic didn't play, and Inter Milan's offensive speed was much faster.

So Lazio did not dare to press across the board easily.

But if you don't press it, you can't put more pressure on Inter Milan.

It is difficult for this Inter Milan team to deal with them without exerting enough pressure when they are defending.

So Lazio began to try to press.

As a result, they didn't score a goal and gave Inter Milan a great chance!

In the 30th minute, when Lazio was attacking, there was a pass error.

When Modric passed the football forward, Inter Milan's central defender Samuel guessed the intention of passing the ball, moved ahead of time, and grabbed the football.

Inter Milan then launched a successful quick counterattack.

In the end, Maicon completed a world-like shot from the edge of the penalty area.

The football blasted through the gate guarded by Handanovic!

"Maikon!!! World wave——!" The commentator Caresa was taken aback for a moment. Then he yelled.

When Maicon took the kick, he was still complaining that Maicon's shot was too reckless, and he should have passed the football to Cruise in the penalty area.

But now, he was cheering for Maicon.

"Beautiful shot from long distance! What a daring gamble! He did it, he did it!"

After the goal, the Brazilian ran with open arms.

And his teammates seemed excited too.

It seems that it is a great thing to be able to take the lead at home to Lazio...

Of course, for them who have always been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Lazio, it is indeed very happy to be able to lead Lazio in the game.

Especially in the context of the change of head coach and the recovery of league results, this lead seems to be more symbolic...

This seems to be...a precursor to the collapse of the old pattern.

Does this mean that Inter Milan will completely rewrite and reverse their embarrassing situation that they can't win the ball against the ever-victorious Lazio?

This lead excited the players of Inter Milan. It also excited the fans of Inter Milan.

There was a huge cheer from them in the stands, even briefly overwhelming the voices of the Lazio fans.

The ecstatic Inter Milan players and the somewhat sad Lazio players formed a stark contrast.

The lens language of the TV broadcast is also very interesting.

I deliberately selected some shots of players from both sides in one frame to present this contrast to the audience in the most intuitive way.

So the fans watching the game can easily draw such a conclusion: Now that Inter Milan has the upper hand, Lazio seems to be about to collapse!

This is because Lazio is the public enemy of Italy, so it can enjoy such treatment.

if not. It is impossible for professional TV broadcasters not to know that apart from scoring goals, Lazio has the advantage in other statistical statistics, and it is still an overall advantage.

Judging from these statistics, Lazio has the upper hand, not Inter Milan.

But football is such a wonderful thing.

It is impossible to deduce a correct answer from statistics.

It is impossible to say that the team with more ball possession deserves to win, nor that the team with fewer shots deserves to lose.

There are many chances and coincidences in football games.

These things are part of the charm of football.

so. Even if the whole game has an advantage, Lazio may lose to Inter Milan at home.

And it's fair, no one can make irresponsible remarks.

This is football.

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng slowly squatted down.

He began to think seriously.

Mourinho's defense gave him a problem.

Now they are leading by one goal, and they will do their best to defend. more extreme.

Maybe, I will give birth to Mourinho's bus tactics?

If Mourinho really parks a bus in front of the goal, what will he do?

Chang Sheng frowned, and pulled a piece of grass from the grass. Put it in your mouth and chew.

At that time, the Dream Team 3, which was in full swing, had no way to face Inter Milan's defensive tactics. What about myself?

Now want to get live surprises from other people. It doesn't seem to work anymore...

Now, he's on his own.

He knows how to break dense defense, but how to break wall defense?

That's an interesting question.

Chang Sheng's brain is running at high speed, just like a high-speed hard drive.

He recalled in his mind what he knew about this Inter team.

The so-called know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. First of all, you must understand your opponent.

Then look at what weapons you have here...

Inter Milan under the leadership of Mourinho is a team with both offense and defense.

In fact, Mourinho's team is not conservative. The so-called conservative is just a label that the media put on him.

They have the ability to play a beautiful offense, as evidenced by Inter Milan's 3:1 home defeat against Barcelona in the first round of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the 2009-2010 season.

But when they are determined to defend, it is difficult to break through their goal.

And what about myself? The personal breakthroughs of Gotze and others have been restricted by the opponent's wall defense.

Facing a wall, one's ability appears somewhat insignificant.

In general, a long shot would be a good way to go.

But Chang Sheng didn't use long-range shooting skills in this game, so the effect of long-range shooting should be discounted.

It can be used, but the long shot cannot be expected to become the decisive weapon to reverse the game.

After much deliberation, Chang Sheng decided to start with what his team is best at.

There is a wall that cannot be passed, what should I do?

Take a ladder and get over it!

How simple!
