Chapter 572: Sneijder Appears
Although they played one less and fell into the bottom of the game, Inter Milan were not completely passive, and they were also using the few counter-attacking opportunities to intimidate AC Milan's goal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before Gao Xiaodong and Pandev didn't come, Inter Milan's counterattack lacked technical content, often launching a long pass from the back position to hit the back of the opponent's defender, when the opponent's defender and goalkeeper cooperate tacitly, there is little chance of using a long pass to penetrate the opponent's defense.
And now Inter Milan's counterattack rarely hits the back of the defender like this, and more often Gao Xiaodong passes the ball to Pandev in the backfield, and Pandev organizes it again and passes it to Milito.
Pandev is not a pure forward midfielder, but he has a good foundation in doing ball passing, and more importantly, his skills are very delicate, and the timing, weight, and insight of the last pass are not inferior to Gao Xiaodong in Inter Milan.
Before Materazzi's handball, Gao Xiaodong, Pandev and Milito had a connection, Gao Xiaodong passed directly to Pandev with his back to the goal, Pandev took the ball back, turned quickly, and before his body was completely turned, the ball was passed to Milito.
Milito cleared the ball and overtook his defender Favali by half a position, and Favalli had to take the risk of putting a tackle and bringing down Milito, but referee Roki did not say anything.
In the final moments of the first half, Ronaldinho forced Materazzi, but Gao Xiaodong quickly snatched the ball from behind Ronaldinho's feet.
Ronaldinho followed up and counter-robb, Gao Xiaodong quickly passed the ball diagonally to Zanetti, Ronaldinho was annoyed and angry, and when Gao Xiaodong turned and ran past him, he kicked Gao Xiaodong's leg.
Gao Xiaodong stumbled, but did not fall, this was a good opportunity to fight back, Gao Xiaodong did not choose to fake fall.
Gao Xiaodong rushed out of the penalty area and received a pass from Zanetti again, and Gattuso ran over from a distance with a fierce flying tackle, trying to force Gao Xiaodong to pass the ball again.
Gao Xiaodong was calm in the face of the threat of his opponent, he calmly passed the ball with his big foot, and then jumped up between the in-between shots, avoiding Gattuso's flying tackle.
Gattuso's tackle drew boos from the Inter fans in the stands.
"This action is ferocious!"
"Your feet are off the ground!"
"Isn't that a warning either?"
"If you can't shovel it, don't you give a card?"
……
Amid the condemnation of the fans, the ball had flown over the midfield and in front of Pandev.
Pandev turned his head to look behind him before stopping the ball with his chest, and saw that Milito was starting to start, and the opponent's defender was also close to him, Pandev chested the ball forward, jumped up with a step, and an upside-down golden hook passed the ball behind the defender.
Milito has started when Pandev is handling the ball, the moment Pandev passes, he is already level with the defender, but the defender is turning, and Milito has begun to accelerate, when the ball is passed, Milito instantly throws the defender out more than a meter away, and when the defender turns around, Milito has thrown the defender more than two meters away, forming a chance to go to the meeting alone.
The Inter fans cheered in unison, feeling that this was almost the time, and Milito's one-on-one ball was very stable.
However, at this time, the linesman raised the flag and signaled that Milito was offside, and the referee Rocchi immediately blew the whistle to stop the game.
Milito was very annoyed, he excitedly ran to the sideline and asked the linesman loudly, where is this ball offside?
Mourinho on the sidelines was even more emotional, and he rushed out of the dugout again and yelled at the pitch, "This is not a good ball, what is a good ball!?"
But the blind linesman had raised his flag, and all protests were to no avail, and no one could change the referee's decision.
At the moment, there was another boo in the stands, and this time the boos were given to the referee.
"Damn! you can be a referee even if you're blind!"
"Isn't there a selection criterion for referees?
"He's not having a problem with his eyesight, he's having a problem with his heart. ”
"Damn! This is our home field! It's hacked like this!
"This is clearly coming with a political mandate. ”
"What suspense is exciting, the most important thing in football is fairness!"
……
There was a lot of talk from the fans in the stands, and the focus of the conflict was on the referee, even the fans of AC Milan, who felt that the referee missed a penalty.
The first half ended after AC Milan kicked off at the back, with players from both sides returning to the dressing room to rest and wait for the start of the second half.
Home team dressing room
Jose Mourinho has regained his composure, he analysed the first half for the players, telling the players that the referee's decision was biased in favour of the opponent, but the players must remain calm and protest to the referee when faced with unfair treatment, but they must be restrained and not act aggressively.
Jose Mourinho showed the players his record of the game, and the diary was full of memories, "Although we played one less, but the opponent was not able to get a good chance to shoot, the really threatening attack, they only had one, and we had two, the last one-man goal was not misjudged, we could even extend the score, so don't worry, 10-man Inter Milan will not lose to 11-man AC Milan." ”
Then Mourinho made substitution adjustments and tactical adjustments, Pandev went down, Sneijder went up, and replaced the second striker Pandev with a pure midfielder.
There is nothing wrong with this substitution, now Inter Milan is playing defensive counter-attacks, and Sneijder's position does not have much contact with the players in the backfield and frontcourt, that is, after receiving the ball and making the last pass, or directly attacking the goal.
Sneijder, as a pure midfielder, has better passing skills and vision than Pandev, and has a long-range shot, and the most important thing is that Sneijder also plays at the back and can contribute to the defense, at this time Sneijder is obviously better than Pandev.
And in a big battle like the Milan derby, who doesn't want to stay on the field, only the newcomer Pandev has no status, and he doesn't dare to have any complaints if he replaces him.
After the start of the second half, AC Milan also made substitution adjustments, pure defensive player Gattuso went off, Dutch old demon Seedorf came on, AC Milan formation changed from 433 to 4231, ready to attack Inter Milan and equalize as soon as possible.
The two sides made one substitution each, but the situation of the game did not change much, it was still AC Milan who attacked and Inter Milan defended and counterattacked.
Seedorf's play has improved AC Milan's frontcourt offense a lot, the old demon has a good sense of handling the ball, and can complete individual breakthroughs from time to time, Inter Milan's defenders are tall and slow to turn, and it is very uncomfortable for Seedorf's legend and insertion.
Fortunately, AC Milan has Borino on the forward line, Ronaldinho who has lost his speed, and if it is Pato or Huntelaar, it is estimated that he has already conceded the goal.
Because Inter Milan is a defensive counter-attack, Sneijder's role on the field is not as big as Seedorf's, he played for several minutes without getting a kick, and it was easy to get one, and he was immediately destroyed by the defender.
Reka, the on-site commentator, commented: "Sneijder still needs to adapt to the defense of the Serie A defenders! The Serie A defenders are much more ruthless and accurate than the La Liga defenders, and they don't give you much space to handle the ball. ”
Sneijder is also a smart player, as he quickly adapted to the Serie A defenders' defence, handling the ball faster and making more passes to Gao Xiaodong, Cambiaso and Stankovic in midfield.
Sneijder handles the ball more securely, and if he passes it back to him after passing it back, he can better deal with the defender, but because Cambiaso, Stankovic, and Gao Xiaodong don't trust him, he doesn't pass the ball back much, so it becomes a waste of opportunity, which makes Mourinho a little dissatisfied, and he waved his hand to let Sneijder pass forward as much as possible, instead of passing back.
