Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 201 Take the ball into the empty goal
Under Zivo in midfield, the bad boy Balotelli came on the field, Inter Milan played a three-striker, and the formation changed from 4312 to 433, Snyder's position was still convex, and behind Sneijder, there were defenders Cambiasso and Mota to protect him, so that Sneijder could show his attacking talents to the fullest. However, in order to prevent Arsenal's quick and sharp counter-attacks and quick preparation of central penetration, Mourinho dropped Eto'o and Balotelli back to take on the role of part of the midfield.
Inter Milan's players were uncomfortable being suppressed by Arsenal, and they had long wanted to attack, but Mourinho's dominance of the team was very domineering, and the players did not dare to disobey his orders. Jose Mourinho's substitution was an obvious attacking signal, and the Inter players who had followed Mourinho for two years understood it, and immediately changed from defense to attack, starting from the strikers to press and counterattack Arsenal.
The world knows that Mourinho's defense is the first in Europe, but Mourinho's offense is also very powerful, when he won the Champions League with Porto, Chelsea has repeatedly entered the quarterfinals, this is not something that can be done by defense alone, Sneijder, Milito, Eto'o, Pandev (Balotelli) combination of Inter fans, with speed, awareness, cooperation, experience, and completely the four youths of the new era, their attacking combination can bring threat and damage to Arsenal.
Although after 06 years, Inter established a dominant position in Italian football, but its results in European competition have not been satisfactory, which has also made Inter Milan be labeled as "in the nest". The eagerness to get rid of this hat has become the most urgent desire in the hearts of the Inter soldiers. That desire made Inter's attack even more aggressive.
The game suddenly became exciting in the 70 minutes, no longer Arsenal's half-time attacking and defensive drills, the game became a back-and-forth battle and tug-of-war.
In the 71st minute, Zanetti assisted, seeing Almunia standing close to the far end and choosing to hit the near corner of the goal with his left foot, the ball bounced off the ground and hit the right post and popped up, scaring Arsenal fans into a cold sweat.
A minute later, Arsenal immediately returned the color, Cesc Fabregas split the ball to the right side, Li Huan took the ball and broke through to the cross near the bottom line, Bendtner fell to the ground with his left foot under Samuel's close attention, Reina, who was standing in front of the goal line, was shaken and the ball was not pounced, but was cleared by Lucio on the goal line, and the Inter Milan fans were almost scared of a heart attack.
In the 74th minute, Cambiaso's long-range shot from 30 meters out hit Campbell's body and almost caused an own goal.
In the 76th minute, Motta made a mistake in the backfield and was stealed by Walcott, Fabregas and Nasri shared the ball to Li Huan on the left side of the penalty area after cooperating in the middle, Li Huan cleverly dodged McConn's shovel cross, Fabregas shoveled from 7 yards, and the ball bounced off the bottom line after touching Reina......
The game was played in a very fast and tense pace, and the midfield could be seen from time to time with people turning on their backs, with both sides having a shot every minute or so, but because the opponent pressed very quickly, the players shot in a hurry, and neither Arsenal nor Milan broke through the opponent's goal.
As the game time became less and less, Inter Milan's mood became a little impatient, Mourinho couldn't sit still, he made another substitution, Cambiaso was replaced, striker Pandev came on, and Inter Milan frantically played a four-forward tactic. And in the absence of the upper hand in the game scene, a large-scale adventurous attack was launched.
In the 79th minute, Arsenal had a chance to counter-attack.
When Milito and Pandev were working together in the frontcourt, Pandev's pass was a little less powerful, and Vermaelen suddenly grabbed the ball, destroying the ball, and the ball rolled right in front of Cesc Fabregas.
Cesc Fabregas picked the ball and flashed Milito, who was counter-robbing on the spot, and volleyed to Li Huan on the right side.
At this moment, Inter Milan's midfield defense is not completely laid out, Mourinho smelled danger, he rushed to the sidelines and shouted for his players to stop Li Huan, not to let Li Huan form a breakthrough on the side.
Cesc Fabregas's volley is a difficult one to catch, but it's the most time-saving way to pass the ball, and a quick or slow pass can make all the difference in the outcome of a counter-attack. Of course, the main thing is that Fabregas believes that Li Huan will be able to control it, and if it is passed to Nasri, Fabregas will definitely stop the ball and pass again.
Li Huan showed extremely solid basic skills at this time, he jumped sideways during the run, and unloaded the ball with his right chest, which flew very fast, in front of Li Huan, the ball was like an obedient child, obediently falling two or three meters in front of Li Huan and rolling forward, almost not affecting Li Huan's running.
The applause in the stands thundered!
Although Li Huan's unloading this time is not as shocking as a passing shot, senior fans know that this kind of basic ABC of football is the best way to see the skill of a player, and Li Huan can easily control this difficult pass, which is by no means something that ordinary players can do.
Li Huan's action of stopping the ball was done in one go, like flowing water in the same way, and it was extremely enjoyable! McConn didn't have time to step forward to interfere, and after the ball fell to the ground, McConn had no chance to steal at all, he could only retreat to the bottom line, not giving Li Huan a chance to eat with speed.
Inter Milan's only remaining midfielder, Mota, quickly supported the wing, and the African cheetah Eto'o was also on his way to help, and Inter Milan formed a sandwich defense against Li Huan on the left, middle and right.
The fans in the stands once again watched with bated breath as Arsenal watched this important counter-attack, and as long as this counterattack was successful, Inter Milan basically did not even qualify for fantasy.
Li Huan didn't even glance at Mota who was forcing over, passed the ball with one kick and stuffed it diagonally forward!
The red figure flashed.
Nasri took it in place, made a wall fit, and hit the ball on the route that Li Huan was running.
After two-by-one, Li Huan easily broke through Mota's defense.
After Li Huan received the ball, he passed it to Nasri who was running to receive it, and he cut cross-cutting to Inter Milan's ribs, Nasri made a wall again, and the ball returned to Li Huan's feet. In a few breaths, the three players of Inter Milan have not even touched the ball with one foot, Li Huan easily entered the big penalty area, and completed all this, with only two people, a simple tactic of two-by-one! And it was such a simple and skillful one-on-two tactic that easily tore apart Inter Milan's defense!
"Not good! Dangerous! Inter Milan are in danger...... If a long-range shooter like Li Huan is allowed to find a chance to get up in this area, it is no different from suicide! Huang Jianxiang, the commentator who prefers Serie A, also exclaimed loudly.
"Chance, you can shoot!!" The on-site commentator shouted.
Li Huan didn't shoot, but shook Lucio like a swimming fish.
"Shoot! ……”
"Shoot! ……”
The Arsenal fans at the scene were anxious, and they stood up one by one and urged Li Huan to shoot.
Li Huan still didn't shoot, and after another buckle, he passed Samuel again.
When Li Huan dunked Samuel, goalkeeper Cesar attacked in time, he flew to save the ball at Li Huan's feet, but Li Huan did not pause at all after deducting Samuel, and continued to cross in the penalty area.
Seeing Li Huan disappear from his field of vision, Cesar knew that it was over, and the ball would undoubtedly be scored. With a huge empty goal, amateur players can also score the ball.
However, Cesar heard no applause and shouts, he subconsciously looked back, and almost fainted with anger, he found that Li Huan actually rushed into the empty goal with the ball.
3:1.
Li Huan expanded the score gap to two goals.
Rumble! The scene was like an explosion, and nearly 60,000 fans shouted wildly. At this moment, it was like the ground was shaking, and the stadium seemed to tremble.
“goalgoalgoal…… Li Huan! Li Huan brought the ball into the empty goal! Li Huan completed an incredible goal, he shook the Brazilian captain Lucio in the penalty area, deducted the Argentine rock Samuel, and flashed the goalkeeper Cesar, and brought the ball into the empty goal under the tackle of Schneider, who returned to the defense, Li Huan was calm like a machine in the penalty area, and the reinforced concrete defense line built by the madman Mourinho collapsed......"
Arsenal's players frantically ran to Inter Milan's penalty area, wanting to hug Li Huan, but Lucio rushed to Li Huan angrily, reaching out to grab Li Huan's neck, he thought that Li Huan was deliberately humiliating Inter Milan by bringing the ball into the goal, in fact, after Li Huan waded past Cesar, it was already very close to the goal, and Schneider was still shoveling from behind him, Li Huan dribbled forward to avoid Schneider to avoid injury.
"Do you want to die?" Lucio yelled through gritted teeth.
Li Huan didn't want to clash with Lucio, a sideways dodge Lucio's throat claw, Arsenal still has a final to play, if he gets a red card at this time, it will be worth the loss.
Lucio chased Li Huan and barked, but was blocked by the rushing Arsenal players, Bendtner waved his arm and yelled at Lucio, "What do you want to do?" Stupid donkey! ”
"Who are you talking about, stupid donkey!" Lucio roared, saliva splashing all over Bendtner's face.
At this time, the referee Debrec rushed over in time to stop Lucio and restrain the possible outbreak of conflict.
Mourinho on the sidelines shook his head and walked slowly to the dugout. "Two more and we still have a chance to play overtime!" Baresi said in a low voice, in fact, he also knew that it was impossible, not that there was no time, but that Inter Milan simply did not have the ability to break Arsenal's goal.
"It's over!" Jose Mourinho to assistant coach Juppe. Baresi said, his face showing a hint of loneliness.
