Chapter 680: Insidious

After Milito and Eto'o fell to their feet, the ball was passed back to the forward midfielder Gao Xiaodong, who saw the Manchester United player quickly press through the center circle to press, Gao Xiaodong passed back to Cambiaso, and quickly retreated to meet his own backline.

In Mourinho's tactical arrangement today, Gao Xiaodong's attack is the front midfield, and the defense is the back midfield.

Switching between the front and back midfielders at any time, although the line is a double back midfielder, in fact Inter Milan is now two and a half midfielders.

Wayne Rooney, Valencia and Park Ji-sung were all players who spared no effort, and the Inter players passed back to the back line, and they quickly chased after them.

Manchester United's right midfielder Valencia was the fastest, Zanetti just received the ball, Valencia pounced, Rooney in the middle also tirelessly ran to the right, cutting off Zanetti and the central defender, Scholes also ran towards Cambiaso with great momentum.

Manchester United's pressing was really fast, the ball just passed to the backline, and Zanetti's passing line was almost blocked.

Zanetti and Cambiasso are old teammates in the national team, and they worked together so well that he immediately passed the ball to Cambiaso and quickly cut forward along the flanks around Valencia.

Cambiaso understood, he didn't stop the ball, played a ball to the wing, and played a wall-hitting one-two with Zanetti.

It was a beautiful combination, Cambiaso only had to stop the ball and Scholes arrived, and it was difficult for Cambiaso to make sure that it was not broken or cut off if he wanted to pass the ball out.

Ferguson started today with a strategy of playing fast and slow, and wanted to make full use of the fast-paced characteristics of the Premier League to drag down Inter Milan.

Scholes was extremely good at reading the game, and immediately after Cambiaso's pass, he got stuck between Cambiasso and Zanetti, and Fletcher in midfield quickly pulled the side to cut off the link between Zanetti and full-back Pandev.

After receiving the ball, Zanetti suddenly found that he was a Man United, and he could only make a long pass to his centre-forward Milito.

On the pitch, the only line is definitely the line left to you by the opponent, and with Milito's header ability, Zanetti's pass is probably Ferdinand and Vidic's.

Just when Zanetti was thinking about whether to make a long pass, he suddenly found that Gao Xiaodong appeared in his sight, and the position was between Scholes and Fletcher.

After Gao Xiaodong was promoted to the professional S level, the awareness of each position has been greatly improved, he returned to the backfield and the general front waist back defense is different, his defensive awareness is very strong, he can guess the opponent's pressing run and teammates' possible passing line, Zanetti ran forward to respond, he judged that Zanetti may be surrounded, and appeared on Zanetti's passing line in time.

Zanetti was overjoyed, immediately passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, and continued to cut forward.

It didn't seem very reasonable for the full-back to be so fierce at the beginning, but this stemmed from Zanetti's trust in Gao Xiaodong, who believed that Gao Xiaodong could control the ball and would not be tackled by the opponent and counterattacked.

When Ferguson played Gao Xiaodong for the first time, he suffered a loss with man-to-man defense, and this time Ferguson gave up the man-to-man tactics and adopted the tactics of zone defense and bagging.

After Gao Xiaodong got the ball, Scholes quickly came back to press, while Fletcher kept a certain distance from Gao Xiaodong and did not let Gao Xiaodong break through with the ball at high speed.

Although Gao Xiaodong is young, he is very experienced in advance, he did not take the ball forward like a stunned young man, or directly look for a striker, seeing Valencia catching up with Zanetti, he easily turned and passed the ball to Cambiaso.

At this moment, Manchester United's frontcourt players have retreated, and after Gao Xiaodong passed the ball back, the back line was already very safe, and Cambiaso could pass to any player at will.

Ferguson saw this scene, his brows were deeply locked, although Gao Xiaodong only had two passes at the beginning, but two passes destroyed Manchester United's fast pressing, this performance also confirmed a bad judgment in Ferguson's heart, that is, this Gao Xiaodong's ball skills have indeed improved again, although it is no longer as rampage as before, running like flying, but the rhythm is better, the overall situation is better, it can be fast or slow, so it is obviously more difficult to play.

This kid is really a monster, he is improving all the time, and if he continues like this, I'm afraid it won't be a problem to catch up with Ronaldo and Messi, Ferguson thought in shock.

Manchester United forced a circle, but the ball was still under the control of Inter Milan, Manchester United was not discouraged, and continued to press, but this time it was still led by Gao Xiaodong in the middle, and Manchester United's pressing was resolved.

It was a bit demoralizing that the two consecutive presses didn't touch the ball, and although the Manchester United players continued to press, the applause and shouts of the Manchester United fans were much quieter, and they were suppressed by the Inter Milan fans.

Gao Xiaodong is obviously not satisfied with playing with Manchester United, ball control is not a characteristic of Inter Milan, if there is a little problem with the pass, it will be a big trouble.

When the ball was passed to Gao Xiaodong's feet again, Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball and turned around and dribbled the ball forward.

This was already an area controlled by Fletcher, and he quickly came over to force Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball and turned around unhurriedly, as if he wanted to protect the ball with his back, but his hand was still pointing to the side of the court, and it seemed to be passing back to the defender who was inserted, but at the moment of turning, Gao Xiaodong suddenly knocked the ball with his supporting foot, and the ball rolled past Fletcher, Gao Xiaodong also turned around and assaulted like lightning, and quickly passed by Fletcher.

This time from slow to extremely fast, the rhythm changes so fast, not to mention the opponent, even the eyes of teammates are a little unable to keep up.

Fletcher was deceived by Gao Xiaodong's gesture, and when Gao Xiaodong accelerated, he was too late to stop it.

Gao Xiaodong shook off Fletcher and rushed forward quickly.

Carrick quickly moved sideways to intercept, but Gao Xiaodong was too fast, and before Carrick could move to Gao Xiaodong's forward path, Gao Xiaodong had already overtaken him and entered the thirty-meter area.

After entering the shooting range, Gao Xiaodong waved his hand again, as if directing his teammates to run, but after waving, Gao Xiaodong suddenly shot from a distance, and the ball roared straight towards the goal.

At this moment, just 50 seconds have passed in the game, Manchester United has not touched the ball, Inter Milan hit the 30-meter area for the first time, and Gao Xiaodong shot directly from a distance.

The shot was definitely cold, and the angle was tricky, and it flew straight to the right post of the goal. Before shooting, Gao Xiaodong also raised his hand despicably to deceive, and changed to a goalkeeper who was not experienced enough and did not concentrate enough, and I am afraid that he will be deceived this time.

But Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar is 40 years old, twice as old as Gao Xiaodong, and his experience cannot be richer, he studied Gao Xiaodong very carefully before the game, knowing that this is a lewd and despicable guy, he was not deceived by Gao Xiaodong's feints, all his attention was focused on Gao Xiaodong's feet, and when Gao Xiaodong got up to shoot, he reacted to the save as soon as possible.

The 40-year-old Van der Sar is a little old and does not react as well as the young goalkeeper, but he is 1.97 meters tall and has a long arm span.

Seeing the ball fly out of the bottom line, Gao Xiaodong shook his head and praised Van der Sar, "This old guy reacts so fast!"

Van der Sar broke out in a cold sweat, scolding Gao Xiaodong for being insidious and despicable, and at the same time secretly glad that he was not fooled, otherwise he might have lost the ball.

Ferguson's heart jumped sharply, and he was relieved after the ball was saved, this kid's skills have improved, but it is also more insidious, Mourinho is shameless enough, plus this sinister and obscene boy, Ferguson's can't help but be a little apprehensive.
