Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 184 In Meachaza
It was Arsenal who kicked off first, with Walket and Bendtner pit the ball on and Walcott passed the ball to Cesc Fabregas, who was standing in front of the midfield, who led the attack, and he joined the two strikers to cut into Inter's half.
Cesc Fabregas passed the ball to Li Huan without hesitation, allowing Li Huan to control the ball and wait for the opponent to save in the half. When the opponent is all in his own half, no matter how talented a midfielder is, he can't find a gap in attack.
Inter Milan's players were very fast, Li Huan just got the ball, and the very cheetah Eto'o came up.
Eto'o, the African cheetah, has always been known for his speed and hard work, as a world-class striker who has won the top three superstars of the world Footballer of the Year, Eto'o's aggressive running in every game has put some blue-collar players to shame, which is why Eto'o has a big mouth but is still liked and valued by many managers.
In the face of the cheetah attack, Li Huan behaved very calmly and bravely, he knew that the initial performance of the game would determine the trend of the whole game, in Li Huan's memory, in the previous life, because of this volcanic ash, the Champions League and the Europa League four teams did not win the game, three losses and one draw, and the record was poor. Now, after more than 20 hours of long journey, the team has consumed a lot of physical energy, and the morale must not be damaged again, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
Cheetahs are getting closer! Li Huan smashes the ball!
Eto'o was detained from Li Huan's side, Li Huan wanted to speed forward to open the distance between him and Eto'o, and the African cheetah was very alert and pulled Li Huan, so that Li Huan's speed did not add up.
missed the best opportunity, Milito and Sneijder had already come over and formed a trap on Li Huan.
Just like the madman said before the game, he did not send someone to mark Li Huan, and used a player to stare at the opponent's arrow figure all over the field, and he did not need to assume the responsibility of zone defense. This tactic was used by Mourinho during his time at Chelsea and Porto. However, it is really inappropriate to deal with Li Huan, a defender, with this kind of trick, the weak team may take it, Inter Milan is also a giant, and it is impossible to wipe this face.
However, Mourinho did not let Li Huan do whatever he wanted, he adopted a cage tactic against Li Huan, closing his left space, and several players formed a trap on Li Huan, trying to foul Li Huan in turn in the front court, so that he could not advance to the front court.
Li Huan's overall view and ability to judge the situation is very strong, seeing so many people coming up from the opponent, he immediately passed the ball to Fabregas again, if it is in the front court, Li Huan may try to make a surprise, but if there is a mistake in the backfield, it is very fatal, and the counterattack of the madman Mourinho is very fatal.
Although Li Huan lost the opportunity to break forward, Li Huan did not give up the morale of the team, he continued to press forward after passing the ball, maintaining the pressure on the left side of Inter Milan.
Mourinho's team adopts the defensive tactics of the whole team, and the forwards also have defensive tasks, and Li Huan's forward pressure directly attracts most of Inter Milan's midfielders back, reducing the pressure on other teammates in the backline.
Campbell, Vermaelen and Klich themselves were out of pressure, and they also pushed the defensive line forward by ten meters, directly suppressing the Inter Milan striker to 30 meters outside the danger zone.
Before the opening, everyone thought that Arsenal, who were physically impaired, might play conservatively, at least not adopt the stormy style of play in front of them, and Arsenal's violent and passionate style of play was very physical. But after the opening, Li Huan led the team to subvert the public's understanding, which also confirmed the professor's statement before the game that Arsenal would not change.
Just two minutes into the game, Li Huan made the first shot on goal for Arsenal.
Cesc Fabregas distributed the ball to the side in the middle, Li Huan was surrounded by Sneijder and Eto'o to steal, and unexpectedly decisively raised his foot on the side to volley, and the ball flew straight to the far corner of the goal, fortunately, goalkeeper Cesar was very sensitive and did not relax at all, saving the shot that seemed to be a pass and shot off the bottom line.
The exclamations at the scene continued. Inter Milan fans once again experienced Li Huan's amazing imagination.
Mourinho stood on the sidelines with a serious expression, looking impassive, but in fact, the madman's fists were clenched tightly.
Cesc Fabregas took a corner kick from the right side of the penalty area, and Samuel, known as the rock, pushed the ball out of the box, and Arsenal's midfielder, Denilson, a long-range shooter, lifted his foot and hit the ball wide of the goal.
It was Arsenal's second shot on goal.
Two shots in two minutes! The tone was immediately set for the game, with Arsenal attacking and Inter defending.
Arsenal's attack lasted ten minutes, and Inter Milan were suppressed and could only keep defending and defending.
This scene made the scene of Nerazuri stunned, in their hearts think that Meazza is Inter Milan's territory, Mourinho's team will not let the away team go wild, but now it seems that the opponent does not put Mourinho in his eyes, especially the opponent's Chinese, almost a winger, completely ignoring the threat of the backfield, the Nella group can't figure out where Li Huan's strong confidence comes from, doesn't he know that Mourinho's counterattack is as vicious as a wasp tail needle?
Mourinho is nervous, Mourinho scratches his head, the biggest disadvantage of playing with this Chinese is that there are too many unplanned things, this Chinese is the biggest variable on the football field, which makes Mourinho very troubled by the tactical arrangement accurate to every second and every action.
Wenger is also nervous, the game is a little unexpected to him, although he said that he will continue to attack, but the team's physical reserves have indeed decreased a lot, this is not a small half-day rest can be recovered, the professor hopes to attack slowly, so that Inter Milan also has the opportunity to attack, preferably against the attack, so that Arsenal has a greater chance.
But Li Huan took a violent approach, which is just like **, the professor and Li Huan both think that they should take the initiative, but the specific posture is decided by Li Huan on the court, and the decision is a little different from the professor, but these are not controllable by the coach, after all, they can't go on the court to play the game in person.
Jose Mourinho's side are by no means a fish belly, and Inter Milan have their own glory.
In the 10th minute, amid the cheers of the 80,000 nera group on the scene, Inter Milan began a counterattack.
Dutch midfielder Schneider, nicknamed by Chinese fans, took the ball in a roundabout way, and suddenly passed to striker Samuel Eto'o, who returned to the vicinity of the midfield, and Arsenal's midfielder Cesc Fabregas rushed over to steal.
The African cheetah, who has always liked to attack and is more frizzy, suddenly learned to put his former teammate Xavi in front of him with his delicate left foot, and picked it up with his right foot, giving Milito, the real only striker, a through ball over the top.
Argentine striker Milito quickly cut forward from Campbell's side and formed a one-on-one momentum.
The Meazza Stadium suddenly fell silent, and more than 80,000 fans suppressed their hearts that were about to jump out of their chests and looked at Milito, who was dribbling the ball quickly, waiting for the result of this counterattack.
"Force!"
The referee's whistle blew for Benlenka, and it turned out that the linesman raised his flag to signal that Milito was offside.
"Black Whistle!"
"Bitch! How to blow the whistle! ”……
There was a clamor in the stands.
Mourinho shook his fist in anger and said the decision was unacceptable.
Subsequent slow motion showed it to be a miscalculation, with Milito and Campbell parallel as Campbell was too slow to react and not keep up with the Argentine striker.
However, it soon proved that he was not Arsenal's referee, he was just a mediocre referee.
In the 13th minute, Li Huan played Inter Milan's "most advanced defender" Eto'o in his own half, and the Chinese received the ball and continuously picked the ball over the top to stun the African cheetah.
Then Li Huan played an exquisite cooperation with Cesc Fabregas and Nasri, and Li Huan drove straight into the face of Inter Milan's captain, the ageless evergreen Zanetti.
Zanetti, who has played for Inter Milan for 15 years, is the spiritual leader of Inter Milan, and is a banner for Inter Milan to compete with AC Milan's Maldini, the 37-year-old Argentine is still physically fit and sharp, but today in the face of Li Huan, he is a lot quieter, of course, there is Mourinho's arrangement, and his own cherishing of feathers is also a very important aspect.
Li Huan has great respect for Zanetti, but on the court, he will never show mercy.
Li Huan knew that such a good old player was not easy to deceive, and he didn't have to feint to deceive Zanetti at all, he directly kicked the ball forward, and directly ate it with speed.
In a short distance of less than ten meters, Zanetti was eaten by Li Huan raw, and the 37-year-old veteran was helpless to find that the distance of ten meters was so far away.
Li Huan made a cross from the bottom, Bendtner and Walket outflanked in the middle, and Samuel, who was fighting for a position with Bendtner, suddenly fell to the ground, and Bendtner stabbed and shot.
But!
The referee's whistle blew again, and he decided that Bendtner had just made a push and the goal was invalidated. Bendtner angrily came over to argue over the unwarranted foul, but received another yellow card from Benkulenka.
Soon the slow motion came out, and it turned out that Samuel had slipped in a hurry, and Bendtner didn't even touch him.
"Misjudged twice in a row! Such referees are not suitable for blowing a penalty on such an important occasion, but tall players are often mistaken for fouls by the referee because they appear more aggressive. ”
The Italian commentator at the scene was clearly biased in favour of the home team, as Milito's solo goal was not necessarily a goal, while Bendtner had already scored the goal.
However, Inter's troubles are not over.
5 minutes later, Fabregas in the middle began to exert his strength, and after Li Huan's arrival, the Spaniard, who was silently responsible for organizing and distributing the ball, suddenly took the ball forward, and the players of Inter Milan were a little uncomfortable and immediately came up to surround them.
Fabregas calmly discovered Li Huan's running line in the midst of the encirclement, and he immediately made a long pass with his big foot and passed the ball between Li Huan and Zanetti, but Fabregas knew that Li Huan must have gotten the ball before Sanetti.
Fabregas gave Zanetti a problem, he didn't know whether to go up to steal, or wait for Li Huan to catch the ball in place, the ball was closer to him, waiting for Li Huan to take the ball was too conservative, it would give the fans a sense of timidity, and went up to steal, Zanetti was worried that he couldn't run Li Huan, Li Huan's speed was too fast.
Just a flash of thought, Zanetti decided to steal, after all, he often plays the defender of the forward, and the sense of attack is stronger than that of the average defender.
But Zanetti regretted it after running a few meters, because Li Huan was so weird, it seemed that he had run fast, and he didn't expect to be able to accelerate again, but Zanetti had to run hard.
Li Huan accelerates! Accelerate again! Speed is pushed to the limit!
Li Huan's header was a little, and the ball changed direction and crossed Zanetti! Seeing that the two people were about to collide, Li Huan staggered his body by a half-position with Zanetti in a drift-like action, and because of the movement, the two of them staggered by, and no one touched anyone.
Horror! Zanetti's eyes were only filled with horror! He couldn't figure out how Li Huan changed the direction of his body anyway.
Li Huan quickly cut inside and directly attracted central defender Lucio and defender Cambiaso.
Inverted triangle backpass!
Li Huan was not greedy, decisively passed the ball back, and accurately found the inserted Fabregas.
The Spaniard had just been inserting the ball quickly after passing the ball, and he believed in Li Huan, even more than he believed in himself.
Cesc Fabregas shot directly with his left foot without stopping the ball, the ball flew straight to the lower right corner, goalkeeper Cesar just went to block Li Huan, and he didn't have time to move at all, so he could only watch Fabregas shoot the ball in like an empty goal.
"Forcing ......"
Benben Lenka finally couldn't make any more low-level mistakes this time around, and there was no doubt about the goal.
1:0, Arsenal leads away.
The 87,000-seat Meazza Stadium was silent, and there was no singing, no boos, no applause, only an almost frozen expression of helplessness.
Cesc Fabregas ran frantically towards Li Huan.
Li Huan, who completed the nanny's assist, rushed to the corner kick area frantically, pulled up the corner flag and held it in his arms and fired like a machine gun, acting extremely arrogantly.
“goalgoalgoalgoal……”
“…… Cesc Fabregas scores! Li Huan assists! Arsenal took the lead away from home, a lightning attack, a great goal, Li Huan expressed his excitement with the action of machine gun strafing, in fact, he is not a machine gunner, his arsenal nuclear warhead ......"
Mourinho's expression was very strange, shrugging his shoulders, as if he was laughing, but it was a wry smile, he really didn't have a good way to concede such a goal, the players did everything they had to do, but the opponent was too cunning.
Wenger jumped up excitedly, waved his arms and shouted, this goal is too beautiful, too advantageous, to get an away goal, even if there is no physical strength to concede the goal, it is also very cost-effective. In the eyes of the professor at this moment, it is not a rolling ball in the net, but a road to the final of the Bernabeu.
