After the score was equalized, there were only five minutes left in the first half of the game, Hoffenheim, who had just scored a goal, wanted to use these five minutes to score another goal while the iron was hot.

As a result, the game became one-sided, Hoffenheim launched a counter-attack across the board, even Ibertsberg assisted the midfield, and Inter Milan were forced to retreat to their own half with three strikers. Use dense defensive tactics to deal with the opponent's overwhelming attack.

The situation changed so quickly that the home team's fans were dumbfounded, 30 minutes ago Inter Milan still had the absolute upper hand, 30 minutes later Inter Milan was suppressed by Hoffenheim in the half, even their strongest right attack was contained by the opponent, almost no chance to get the ball, the ball flew everywhere in the Inter Milan penalty area, although most of them were cleared by Inter Milan players, but which pass was grabbed by Hoffenheim's striker and hit the range of the goal, the threat to the Inter goal was fatal.

The fans of the home team were frightened, and the cheering was much quieter, and the voices of the Hoffenheim fans on the Meaza stadium gradually became louder, which greatly overshadowed the momentum of the international Mulan fans.

Mourinho's face is cold, not too worried about the situation on the field, although the opponent has an absolute advantage, but Inter's defensive formation is not chaotic, the defense is clearly layered, even if Hoffenheim is given a few more minutes, they may not be able to break through the door of Inter Milan. It's just that now the front court must not give Hoffenheim a direct free kick opportunity, Li Huan just showed a free kick skill that Mourinho was extremely shocked, he now does not doubt giving Cesar another chance, Cesar still has no possibility of saving Li Huan's shot, this Chinese's free kick is too fast and accurate, Mourinho just saw the ball flash, and then the net moved, simply not human can react.

However, Mourinho also has some regrets, he shouldn't let the team recycle, if Inter Milan continues to press, Li Huan will definitely not have too many opportunities to get the ball, maybe that free kick will not happen, such a powerful free kick kung fu is really his nemesis of defensive tactics, he can't give the opponent a chance to take a free kick in front, Li Huan will score when he has the opportunity, this is really difficult to deal with. Jose Mourinho felt it was time to think about how to plan the tactics for the second half.

The fears of the Inter fans did not last long, and the first half of the game was soon over, Inter Milan really deserved to be the Italian team, although they did not really understand Mourinho's defensive tactics, but only with the Italian style of defense also withstood Hoffenheim's crazy attack in the last few minutes.

After returning to the locker room, Rangnick and the coaching staff immediately followed up, although Hoffenheim had the upper hand in the last ten minutes of the first half of the game, but it was related to Inter Milan's initiative to recover after taking the lead, if Mourinho did not recover, maybe Hoffenheim would continue to be passive, and it was possible to be scored by the opponent again.

As soon as Rangnick walked into the dressing room, Sarihovic said: "Coach, if Inter Milan continue to attack like in the first half in the second half, I don't know if it can hold on until the end of the game, I have already received a yellow card, I think we should be like Inter Milan, send a striker to suppress McCann's ball." ”

Ibertsberg also said: "McCone is faster than me and has better technique than me, it's too difficult to defend a player like that, you have to limit the number of times he can get the ball. ”

Even if the two disciples don't talk about it, Rangnick knows that it may be difficult to support the opponent's offense by blindly using foul tactics to support the end of the game, and Sarihovic himself is not a player who is good at defense, he is more focused on offense. But the key now is that Hoffenheim lacks a defensive left midfielder, Weiss can play on the left side, but I don't know how the effect is, even if it can be defended, the attack on the left side will be completely useless. Sarihovic's suggestion was also considered during the game, but now it is a bit difficult to support the two midfielders in the middle, and it may be even more difficult to block the impact of Ibrahimovic and Ade with the next one, both of whom are among the best in the world.

Rangnick thought of this and said: "I didn't expect the opponent to change the formation so much, our pre-match preparation did not work, fortunately we equalized in the end, you support it first in the second half, if the opponent's attack is really fierce, I let Weiss come on the field to replace Sarihovic." ”

At this time, Zeidler suddenly said: "If it is not good to change the formation, it is better to transfer Li Huan to the position of left back, Baker plays right back, Zanetti is older, the attack will definitely not be as sharp as McConn, Baker has performed very well in the game recently, Li Huan's left and right foot skills are very balanced." ”

Zeidler has always been straightforward and fast-talking, not as smooth as Marco, his words made Ibetzberg's face sink, because Li Huan's ability is too outstanding, his performance in the left-back position is definitely not bad, if Baker performs very well in the right-back position, his main position is not dangerous.

However, Rangnick rejected Zeidler's suggestion, saying: "This is too risky, Baker did not participate in such a level of competition, and he was afraid that it would be inappropriate to rush on the court to defend Zanetti, and Li Huan had not played in the position of left back, the effect is difficult to say, it is better to replace Weiss to strengthen the defense on the left side, Li Huan forced Zanetti's left side." I think we still have a chance. ”

The away team's plan has been decided, and the home team is also deploying the tactics of the second half, Mourinho's pre-match deployment has not changed much, in his opinion, the score was equalized is not a problem with his arrangement, it is Li Huan's personal ability is too strong, and a free kick within 30 meters is directly scored. If you change to another team and give him ten chances like this, you may not be able to score one.

Therefore, in addition to defending Li Huan and replacing Balotelli with the faster Quaresma, Mourinho mainly pointed out the details, focusing on the defense of the 30-meter area in the middle, analyzing the referee's penalty scale, and what kind of fouls to take to avoid giving the opponent a chance to take a free kick. In the study of the details of the game, Mourinho is more meticulous than Lennick.

After the start of the second half, Hoffenheim did not make substitutions, they had the advantage at the end of the first half, and did not want to make adjustments to the lineup, but Inter Milan changed a person at the beginning, Balotelli was replaced, replaced by Quaresma, this is Mourinho felt that Balotelli could not keep up with Li Huan, so he changed to a more flexible winger, Mourinho had no intention of letting Quaresma and Li Huan compete, as long as Quaresma could interfere with Li Huan to take the ball and hit Li Huan's back when counterattacking.

Hoffenheim wanted to start attacking Inter Milan like in the final stage of the first half, but Inter Milan also suddenly made a force and launched an attack with Hoffenheim, with great intention to set off another wave of offensive in the first half.

However, now Hoffenheim is ready, seeing McCone active again, repeatedly attacking two yellow card players, Rangnick decisively replaced Sarihovic with Weiss to strengthen the defense on the left side. Arshavin on the right side also retreated more to get the ball, and Li Huan cooperated, two players with extremely outstanding personal ability after cooperating on the side, Stankovic and Quaresma could not form an obstacle at all, especially Quaresma, who did not meet Mourinho's requirements at all, with empty speed, not only could not keep up with Li Huan's pace in defense, but also was robbed by Simunic and Li Huan continuously because he was too fancy, Quaresma was not even as good as Balotelli on the field, at least Balotelli still has a good body, made Li Huan a little jealous.

Quaresma's performance made Mourinho's face a little feverish, because this was what he asked for when he was coaching, and Moratti also bought Quaresma with close to 40 million euros, but now Quaresma looks like a parallel import. Jose Mourinho can imagine what the media and fans will think.

With the strengthening of Hoffenheim's defensive ability on the left, Inter Milan could not suppress Hoffenheim's attack on the right, and Hoffenheim gradually gained the upper hand, but this advantage was also very weak, not enough to break through Inter Milan's defense. Now both sides are waiting for the opponent to make a mistake in the defense, or to have a flash of inspiration in their own attack, after all, they have a lot of talented players on the field, and if one person shines, the trend of the game may be changed.

The time of the game is slowly passing, the score of 1-1 seems to be frozen, it has not changed at all, the draw away Rangnick is completely acceptable, and now Hoffenheim has a slight advantage on the field, so he does not want to change. Michelle is now over the game, and Rangnick couldn't agree more.

But Mourinho definitely doesn't want the opponent to get out of Meazza in the whole body, now it seems that the position of the boss of Group B is Hoffenheim and Inter Milan, and the other two teams are just accompanying the prince to study, if you can't win Hoffenheim at home, the first position may have to go to Hoffenheim's home stadium to decide, which Mourinho is unwilling.

Jose Mourinho was no ordinary person, and just 20 minutes into the second half, he immediately turned to his assistant coach Giulipe. Baresi said: "Let little Mancini and Cruise warm up. ”

Although he was a little surprised to hear that Baresi had two strikers warm up together, he knew the manager's surname and immediately warmed up Mancini Jr. and Cruise.

Five minutes later, Mourinho called Mancini Jr. over and said to Mancini Jr.: "You replace Quaresma, keep an eye on Li Huan, where is he going." ”

Baresi looked at Mourinho in disbelief and said, "Quaresma has only been on the pitch for less than 20 minutes. ”

Mourinho snorted and said: "20 minutes is enough time for a player to prove himself, but I am disappointed with his performance, very disappointed. ”

Mancini Jr. knew that if he didn't please the manager, maybe he could be humiliated like Quaresma, which was not impossible.

I don't know what stimulated me, after little Mancini came on the field, he ran frantically with Li Huan, and he followed Li Huan wherever he went, just like a marker striker.

Tao Wei looked inexplicable and said, "How does Mu Shuai use people?" I've seen him turn a striker into a defensive striker, but now he's a marker again? ”

Zhang Lu smiled bitterly: "No one can guess the madman's intentions, Quaresma can be replaced just now, and it is not impossible for little Mancini to become a marker striker, but now it looks like the effect is good, Li Huan has few opportunities to play with Arshavin with the ball, and Inter's offensive is gradually rising." Although it is only about 20 minutes, maybe Inter will be able to score again. ”

After Mourinho sent a man-marking striker to target Li Huan, Inter Milan pressed the attack, without Li Huan's support on the right side, Hoffenheim's advantage was greatly reduced, and Inter Milan began to gain the upper hand, but Inter Milan also had a slight advantage and could not really threaten Hoffenheim's defense.

But at this time, another accident happened, because McCone was entangled by Weiss, Ibrahimovic suddenly pulled to the left side, and Muntari cooperated, Ibertsberg was not suitable for Ibrahimovic's defense, and wanted to break Ibrahimovic's ball, and was forced by Ibrahimovic to pass with his body, Ibertsberg saw that Ibrahimovic was going to enter the penalty area, and had to reach out and pull down Ibrahimovic, referee Michel saw clearly not far away, and sent a second yellow card, two yellows and one red to send Ibetzberg out of the field.

This time, the coaching staff of Rangnick and Hoffenheim were panicked, they were about to fall into the disadvantage, and now there is one less person, and the next game is simply impossible to play, Rangnick quickly let Yankel prepare to play, replacing striker Saviola, victory is impossible, as long as the current score can be maintained. The back line must not be crippled and must be replaced immediately.

But Zeidler said: "Ralph, I think it's better to temporarily change Li Huan to the left side, he is completely able to suppress McCone alone, and Baker has been performing very well recently, and you also know Baker's role in the future." ”

Cedler's words made Rangnick hesitate, he understood the meaning of Cedler's words, with Li Huan's current performance, it is really difficult to say whether Li Huan can be retained next season, Baker is actually a spare thing to prevent Li Huan from leaving, Li Huan will naturally be fine if he does not leave, if Li Huan leaves, Baker can be on top, and now Zanetti is suppressed by Arshavin, and it is not dangerous for Baker to play.

After a few turns of thought, Rangnick made up his mind to let Jankel come back and call Baker to play, Baker didn't expect to send off the left-back, he actually had a chance to play at a right-back, and he was overjoyed and hurriedly changed his jersey.

"You play at right-back, let Li Huan go to the left, your task is to defend, don't attack if you don't have a good chance, we are aiming for a draw now......" Rangnick commanded.

Baker nodded excitedly, turned around and ran to the field, it was a great opportunity for him to be able to play in such a game, just as his agent told him, Hoffenheim couldn't stay with Li Huan for long, the Bundesliga has declined, Hoffenheim can't give Li Huan a higher annual salary, as long as he can play, the future is not far away, as soon as Li Huan leaves, isn't the main right-back his.

Baker's appearance caused a lot of discussion among senior fans on the field, and Mourinho was also very puzzled, sending off a left-back, Rangnick actually replaced a right-back substitute, is it the wrong person? Confused? However, Mourinho didn't have time to think about what Rangnick thought, he waved his hand to bring on the warm-up Crews and replace Muntari, the opponent was one less, Mourinho needed to attack with all his strength, and one more defensive midfielder was of little use. Mourinho has always been very bold when it is time to fight for his life, and this is an important factor in his success.

However, when Inter took a free kick on the side, everyone understood what kind of medicine was sold in Rangnick's gourd, and it turned out that Li Huan actually became a left-back. The youngsters who had just come on were at right-back.

Immediately, the fans in the stands were excited, and the chatter was like a bee buzzing.

"Ahh Li Huan went to the left side! ”

"It's pretty! Now we can know who is the world's number one right-back! ”

"Two of the best defenders go head-to-head!"

Li Huan's coming to the left side was certainly beyond Mourinho's expectations, but he was not worried, Mourinho felt that it didn't matter if McCone was suppressed, now Inter Milan has one more person, can't he still take Hoffenheim, besides, Li Huan went to the left side, Zanetti has a chance to step forward to assist, can that kid block Zanetti and Stankovic.

McCone saw Li Huan come to the left side of the heart couldn't help but have a trace of anger rising, it turned out that he has been considered by the media to be the world's No. 1 right-back, but this year, Hoffenheim's Chinese defender has risen very fast, last season someone compared him to himself, this season even more think that this Chinese is the world's No. 1 right-back, which makes McCone very angry, he played so well in this game, just to let the media see, who is the world's No. 1 defender.

He is now very satisfied with his performance, but did not expect that after the opponent's left-back was sent off, Li Huan actually came to the left side, "Does Rangnick actually think that this Chinese can block my attack in the left-back position?" We'll let you know who's the number one defender in the world. McCone sneered, determined to give Li Huan, who had crossed the border, a powerful blow.

The commentator at the scene said: "Hoffenheim was sent off a player, but the game is more exciting, more eye-catching, Li Huan and McConn's first defender dispute, now you can compare a result, just ended 70 minutes, McCone and Li Huan each scored a goal, regardless of victory or defeat, if Li Huan can suppress McCone in the left-back position, it is self-evident who is the first defender." ”
