Chapter 513: Fighting for the Initiative

The opening attack, which was a tactic devised by Shevchenko and Gazaev before the game, believed that Inter Milan, even if they were prepared, would never focus on Dynamo Kiev's initiative. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

As for how effective the anti-away attack can be at the beginning, no one knows before the game, after all, Inter Milan is a team that can beat Milan by 7 goals, beat Barcelona by 2 goals, and lose 0:1 to Rubin Kazan.

Luck was on the side of Dynamo Kyiv, and a refraction gave Dynamo Kyiv the lead.

It was a fantastic start against the underdogs Dynamo Kyiv away from home.

Thousands of Dynamo Kyiv fans jumped up and applauded the team's efforts and bravery at the moment of the goal.

Dynamo Kyiv coach Gazaev clenched his fists and roared at the court, and his nervousness instantly turned into joy.

The eighty-thousand-nera group was dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.

Is this still the same Inter Milan team that beat Genoa by five goals in the league? Is this still the Serie A title that beat Barcelona by two goals?

Stunned followed by fear, the last time Inter Milan were out of the Champions League group stage was in the 03/04 season, and that season, Inter Milan were in a group that also had a team from Russia and a team from Ukraine, and that Ukrainian team was none other than Dynamo Kyiv.

Mourinho's face suddenly turned ugly, he lashed at the pitch and slammed the mineral water bottle to the ground.

Mourinho can imagine that when the game starts again, Dynamo Kyiv will definitely shrink and counterattack, this Ukrainian team is fast and very able to run, let them play counterattack, Inter Milan's aging midfielder has to run back and forth in the two penalty areas, and the scene is "good-looking".

In addition, Mourinho never wanted to be beaten by Shevchenko, at Chelsea, he pressed Shevchenko to the bench, saying that he was a traitor of Abou, and Shevchenko also told his friends when he returned to Ukraine that Mourinho ruined him, and the relationship between the two was by no means as unrelated as stated in the press conference.

Moratti in the box looks even more ugly than Mourinho, if this one loses again, the next three games, Inter Milan has two away games, it will be too difficult to qualify, Moratti fired Mancini, who won three consecutive championships, and invited Mourinho with the highest salary in the world, just to win the Champions League, Inter Milan was eliminated in the round of 16 in the first season, Moratti is barely acceptable, after all, it is the first year, but if the second season can't even get out of the group, Moratti can't bear it, because a team that can win the championship can't even enter the quarterfinals for two consecutive seasons。

The game started again, and Dynamo Kyiv really recovered into their own half to play Inter Milan on the counter-attack.

Facing the strong, active running and tacit cooperation of Dynamo Kyiv, the pressure is all on the Inter Milan players.

Inter Milan is not Barcelona, the characteristics of players and coaches determine their style of play and style, even after buying Gao Xiaodong, this Inter Milan is best at defending and counterattacking, but now in the face of the shrinking defense of Dynamo Kyiv, Inter Milan has to give up their best counterattack play, improve the rhythm of attack, from the high-frequency attack mode of fast passing, fast falling, and fast shooting, looking for the vacancy of the Dynamo Kyiv who shrinks the defense.

As the forward of Inter Milan and the key figure who launched the fatal pass, Gao Xiaodong was closely watched by the Kiev Di people, and Mihalik, known as the 'Ukrainian Gattuso', followed Gao Xiaodong like a shadow, not letting Gao Xiaodong take the ball, not letting Gao Xiaodong turn around, not letting Gao Xiaodong break through, and not letting Gao Xiaodong shoot.

In short, Dynamo Kyiv's tactic today is very clear, that is, not to let Gao Xiaodong, as a forward midfielder, transition the ball, but let the other players of Inter Milan make a long pass to the striker, or dribble the ball in.

Eto'o is a speed striker, the control of the high-altitude ball is very poor, Dynamo Kyiv is now shrinking the defense, there is no space, if Inter Milan plays a long pass, Eto'o is basically useless, and if Inter Milan's backfield players step forward to assist, Dynamo Kyiv can slam the gap inserted in the backfield of Inter Milan after breaking the ball.

Mourinho can see the intentions of the Kieves at a glance, which is his forte, but it is useless to understand it, because the initiative is not on Inter Milan's side, the Kieves are now ahead, and Inter Milan can only follow the rhythm of Dynamo Kyiv.

In the 9th minute of the game, McCone assisted the front court with the ball, he saw that the line under the bottom was blocked, and wanted to pass the ball horizontally to Stankovic in the middle, but the passing power was a little less under the interference of the opponent, and the ball was cut off by Kiev's midfielder Vukojevic and passed to Shevchenko, Shevchenko did not give Inter Milan time to return to the defense, and quickly passed diagonally to his teammate Yarmolenk who was inserted behind McConn, and he stepped forward to respond.

Shevchenko's ability to read the game was so strong that his pass cut through Inter's defence, and Yarmolenk crossed the ball across the middle with no one to find Milevski and Shevchenko.

It was a very dangerous pass, and the fans in the stands were in their throats, but Lucio chased after two steps, risked an own goal, and shoveled the ball off the line.

In the 14th minute, Stankovic stepped forward, and Gao Xiaodong went straight to the ribs of the Dynamo Kyiv penalty area, but the ball was cut off by the defender, and Dynamo Kyiv launched a quick counterattack again.

Kiev captain Milevsky faced left-back Zivo feint to cut into the ribs of the penalty area, and suddenly turned down to shake off Zivo's cross to Shevchenko, who received it in the middle, but Cambiaso broke the ball in time.

In the 17th minute of the game, after Gao Xiaodong received the ball, he turned 360 degrees and shook off Ukrainian Gatusomi Halik, and shot angrily at 26 meters, but the ball was desperately blocked by defender Almeida with his body.

Qiu was grabbed by Kiev midfielder Maranger, Maranger had excellent skills, quickly launched a counterattack with the ball, Gao Xiaodong quickly chased back, destroyed the ball with a flying tackle, and was verbally warned by referee Atkinson.

Maranger took a free kick and passed into the box, Lucio's header went out of the box, Motta counterattacked with a long pass, Eto'o finally had a chance to play his speed, but Eto'o ran past the defender but not past Kiev goalkeeper Bohush, and was kicked out of the touchline by Bohush.

Then the game alternated between Inter Milan's attack and Dynamo Kyiv's counterattack, the more fierce Inter Milan's attack, the more fierce Dynamo Kyiv's counterattack, both sides had chances, but neither had an absolute chance, and no one was able to score.

Such a situation is not good for Inter Milan, Inter Milan players pressed to the Kiev Dynamo half of the attack, back to defend to their own half, such repeated back and forth sprints to Inter Milan players is a major test of physical fitness, Inter Milan players are mostly around 30 years old, it is impossible to run for 90 minutes, they want to win the game, they must hurry up to score, the initiative and rhythm in their own hands.
