Meazza Stadium.

The match between Inter Milan and Newcastle United is in full swing, with the players on the pitch running actively and playing with each other attractively.

Inter Milan had more time on the ball and could be said to dominate the game.

Newcastle United were not bad either, with high morale and confidence as the number on the scoreboard was '0:2', giving Newcastle United a two-goal lead at home and away.

In football, one goal is a huge advantage, let alone two.

The advantage of two goals also gave the players on the pitch a lot of confidence, and they were fully committed to the game, and they were still very positive when they were suppressed in a row.

Inter Milan continued to attack, and their coordination was smooth and threatening, but the lack of goals for a long time also made the players on the pitch a little anxious.

Sidelines.

Jose Mourinho, known as the 'magic bird', is staring at the field with burning eyes, and the attack in the front court is not too worried, he is still very confident in the team's offensive ability, and he mainly looks at the middle position.

Newcastle United No. 13 Zhen Shaolong!

Mourinho's expression was very solemn, and at the same time revealed a little confused.

I am dignified and am worried about the game.

Jose Mourinho considers himself a very hard-working manager, and every game he leads the team to play, he will carefully study the opponent, and the Champions League is very important, and he will pay more attention to every opponent.

Newcastle United are the ones who need to be taken seriously.

Inter Milan's Group C is considered the 'Group of Death', and because of Newcastle United, the media commented, "They are the spoilers of Group C." ”

Spoilers have the ability to defeat strong teams.

Newcastle United were last season's Premier League champions and will not be underestimated by the European media.

Mourinho has carefully studied Newcastle United, and he found that Newcastle United won the championship, and the most important thing is No. 13 Zhen Shaolong, the opponent has too many goals, and it can be said that he relied on goals to lead Newcastle United to the league championship.

Mourinho also has a careful study of Zhen Shaolong, he found that the opponent's shooting is extremely good, but there are many personal technical defects, the easiest thing to target is the foot technique, most of the dribbling is the use of explosiveness, speed, ball control, dribbling is much worse.

So he developed a combination of central and defensive approaches.

Now it turns out that the targeting strategy failed.

The opponent continued to show amazing breakthrough ability, especially just now to break through the three in one breath, it is a little unimaginable, the opponent has such excellent foot skills, the combination of defense in the middle and back will be ineffective, and even have the opposite effect.

At the same time, Mourinho is also a little confused.

The opponent was so good, so good that he seemed to find an opportunity and was able to score the ball, even if he didn't have a chance, he was able to create his own chances.

Such a player can really decide the outcome of the game.

Jose Mourinho has always believed that the direction of football is to lean towards tactics, coordination determines everything, and every player will be an integral part of tactics, and he also said, "No one is indispensable in my team." ”

"Except for myself......"

Listen up!

How domineering!

Mourinho has always believed that tactics are the most important thing, and no matter how good a player is, he can only 'function', not 'decisive', so the players he introduced have the technical characteristics that match the tactics.

Now Mourinho is suddenly confused because he has found that a player who performs well enough can also play a decisive role in the game, even making the opponent's tactics useless.

It turned his perception of football on its head.

Mourinho kind of understands the reason why Newcastle United can win the championship, the opponent has this kind of performance in every game, even if Newcastle United is weaker as a whole, it will definitely be able to win the league title.

What is happening in front of us is in direct conflict with Mourinho's football philosophy.

He was a little confused.

After thinking about it for a while, Mourinho clenched his fists and took a deep breath to make a decision, "My football philosophy is the right one!" ”

"That's right!"

"This game is a test chance!"

While Mourinho was firm in his belief, he also turned his head and glanced at the Newcastle United bench, half-white haired Kevin Keegan, who was sitting there relaxedly.

The corners of Mourinho's mouth showed a touch of disdain, "Tactics are the most important thing!" ”

"What does it make if Keegan only relies on players to win, and doesn't coach or not?"

"If it's a player, what else do you need a manager to do?"

After a brief moment of disdain, Mourinho quickly approached Zivo and whispered to him what to do when he returned to the game.

————

Christian Zivo is a talented defender in Romania who studied football with his father from a young age and soon showed his talent.

Zivo made a name for himself at his hometown of Universitario Craivo, before quickly joining Dutch giants Ajax before joining Roma in Serie A after four years.

In his four seasons at Roma, Zivo's consistent and excellent performances have attracted the ideas of many big clubs.

Finally.

Zivo joined Inter Milan last season and helped them win the league title with solid performances.

Now Zivo has become the pillar of Inter Milan's defense, after Mourinho took over Inter Milan, he also has a lot of trust in Zivo, Zivo is the kind of player who performs steadily, his performance is not very good, but the defender does not make mistakes, which is the most reassuring.

Mourinho just let Zivo run all over the field to keep an eye on Zhen Shaolong.

It's a helpless choice.

When it was found that Zhen Shaolong had excellent breakthrough ability, he could only start from the direction of the incoming ball if he wanted to restrict, let Ziwo mark closely, and limit the opponent's reception, which could directly have a limiting effect.

Zivo did a good job.

After Zivo used to mark closely, it was obviously much more difficult for Zhen Shaolong to catch the ball.

Meantime.

Inter Milan also finally played the game.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Inter Milan's continuous offensive finally played the desired effect.

Zanetti's cross from the edge found Ibrahimovic and the Swede's prolific striker forced a way out of Taylor to send the ball into the Givens goal.

1 to 2!

Inter Milan chase back a goal!

The cheers of the surrounding stands resounded in the sky, and the Inter Milan fans were cheering wildly, releasing their suppressed emotions in their hearts.

They were all excited.

From the beginning of the game, Inter Milan played an advantage, but the goals continued to belong to the opponent, and the performance of the opponent's No. 13 made the fans a little desperate, and even difficult to win.

Now seeing Inter Milan score, they are all relieved and have renewed their confidence in the game.

Ibrahimovic's goal was also the last of the first half.

Half-time came.

Inter Milan and Newcastle United have returned to their dressing rooms.

Newcastle United players are in a good mood, leading Inter Milan at half-time, which is beyond pre-match expectations, they dare not say that they can win, but it should not be difficult to remain unbeaten, the opponent's attack is fierce, and only one goal was scored at half-time, and the game is favorable to Newcastle United.

Head coach Kevin Keegan is conflicted.

It's also very tangled.

Leading Inter Milan at half-time was indeed beyond expectations, but he had to face a choice: should he keep his tactics the same in the second half, or should he strengthen his defence?

The former is utilitarian and does not fit his philosophy.

The latter is easier to win.

It's a battle of wins and losers and ideas!

Keegan is a fan of flashy attacking football, and he believes that playing a good football is more important than winning a game.

That's how he saw it before.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not right, because he leads the team of Fulham, Manchester City and other teams, and the goal of each team's season is just 'relegation', since it is a relegation team, win a game, lose a game, and the impact is not big, the most important time is to lead England to participate in the European Championships, and the final stage defeated Germany, which has not won for 30 years, which made him famous, but only four months later, England lost 0-1 to Germany, because the team's results were too poor, and he had to resign.

Keegan reminisced in detail and found that he had not led the team to a tournament.

Now leading Newcastle United to participate in the Champions League is already the peak of his coaching career, and the peak means facing huge pressure, "If you continue to play like this, the opponent may catch up, or even overtake." Champions League can't be played...... Still resigning? ”

Keegan was a little unacceptable.

In the end, between football philosophy and coaching results, Keegan still chose the latter, he really didn't want to experience another failure, because failure means that the outside world will not recognize his coaching of a strong team, and he can only choose a relegation team in the future.

Any manager is aggressive, he wants to coach a big club, he wants to win a championship.

The same goes for Keegan.

He can only abandon the 'football philosophy' for the time being and develop a more winnable style of play.

He comforted himself, "This time there is no way! ”

"Inter Milan are too strong, the team has played a good first half!"

"So ......"

————

The second half began.

Inter Milan fell behind by one goal and continued to work hard to put themselves into attack, and after two or three successive waves of attacks, they found that Newcastle United had stepped up their defence.

Newcastle United have shrunk their formation.

The effect of shrinking the formation is to make the front of the penalty area more dense, and if Inter Milan wants to break through the penalty area, the difficulty will rise to a notch.

After encountering a stubborn defense, Inter Milan can only slow down the tempo slightly, otherwise the continuous steals may become opportunities for the opponent.

Meantime.

Zhen Shaolong was still standing in the front court, and Qi Wo followed him closely.

Ziwo's defensive role has been revealed, and he has been by Zhen Shaolong's side for a long time, making it much more difficult for Zhen Shaolong to retreat and receive the ball.

This greatly reduced Zhen Shaolong's chances.

Newcastle United's attack is already less, and it is difficult for Zhen Shaolong to receive and pass the ball, and the chances become even fewer.

In the nine minutes of the second half, Zhen Shaolong failed to touch the ball once.

Many people are starting to worry.

When the camera camera pointed to Zhen Shaolong, BBC commentator Lineker said, "It seems that Zivo's defense has caused Zhen Shaolong a lot of trouble." ”

"The situation is not good for Newcastle right now!"

"If Zhen Shaolong wants to perform, he must get rid of Zivo's defense!"

Zhen Shaolong is not worried.

If it was two years ago, he didn't have anything to do with Zivo, but now it's different, and any defender alone can't try to limit him, because he has a lot of skills, and his basic ability has improved a lot, and he has a lot of ways to get rid of defense.

Now he's just waiting for an opportunity.

Qi Wo didn't know Zhen Shaolong's thoughts, and when he saw that the other party would occasionally stand in place and not move, he felt that the other party had given up.

"That's giving up?"

"The quality of my mind is too poor...... However, this guy seems to be in his early twenties! ”

"What a horrible guy!"

Zivo couldn't help but think of Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic is recognized as a talent in the attack, but compared to the opponent's ability, that is, he is physically stronger, and the individual threat ability is not small.

While Zivo was still thinking, Newcastle United completed the ball at the back.

Jean kicks Barton.

Barton prequel to Owen.

Owen rushed forward with the ball, and when he shook off Cambiaso, he was entangled by the opponent, and he had no choice but to pass the ball.

Prequel!

Zhen Shaolong was in front of Owen, because his teammates were all in the backcourt, he did not rush forward at the first time, but stuck the position in advance, so that Ziwo could only follow behind.

The football rolled towards Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong glanced at Qi Wo behind him, knowing that stopping the ball might delay time, and it was not easy to break through the opponent, so he suddenly decided to use skills.

"Assault"!

When the football reached about a meter around, Zhen Shaolong forcibly turned around and jumped over Qiwo and rushed forward.

Zivo was stunned.

He didn't see the opponent's stoppage.

After reacting, Zivo was shocked to find that the football was under the control of the opponent, and he did not expect to be thrown away so easily.

He's catching up!

It's late!

Zhen Shaolong didn't need to control the ball at all, the advantage of accelerating first was very obvious, he immediately threw Ziwo three or four meters away, and continued to run in the process, the distance was still widening.

At this time.

The only thing that Inter Milan can intercept at the back is Samuel.

Samuel ran towards Zhen Shaolong, he knew that he couldn't wait in place, he had to limit the opponent in advance, not to mention grabbing the ball directly, but also to slow down the opponent.

He has experience with this.

It is too difficult for a fast player to really rush up with the ball, because the opponent's speed is too fast, unless it is a foul action, the opponent does not need to feint, a change of direction is enough to continue to move forward, and it is unlikely to keep up if you want to.

Samuel's approach is to try to stick to Zhen Shaolong in the process of stepping forward, and then use his body to constantly interfere, looking for opportunities to complete the ball halfway.

Zhen Shaolong didn't give Samuel a chance at all.

After discovering that he couldn't get around Samuel, he went to the left to get a little cheaper, slowed down a little and got close to Samuel, and immediately used the temporary "Forced Breakthrough" skill when "Assault" failed.

And then.

Zhen Shaolong continued to ignore the football, and rushed forward as he accelerated.

He's running like he's running without the ball.

Samuel obviously didn't expect that Zhen Shaolong would slow down and accelerate so quickly with the ball, and it was impossible to stop it when he thought of it, he could only watch the other party get farther and farther away from him.

Goalkeeper Cesar strikes!

When Zhen Shaolong and Samuel passed by, they had already run twenty meters in front of the big penalty area, Cesar accurately judged the time to attack, and he rushed towards Zhen Shaolong.

However, it is completely useless!

This kind of long-distance single-knife ball couldn't be easier for Zhen Shaolong, he glanced at the goal at the right time, and after slowing down slightly, he swung his foot to shoot.

The ball went around Cesar's head and crashed into the net behind him.

1 to 3!

The audience was in an uproar!

BBC commentator Lineker couldn't help but shout excitedly, "The ball is in!" The ball is in! ”

"Zhen Shaolong! Zhen Shaolong! He finished a dragon from the middle line all the way to the goal! He shook off Ziwo and Samuel in a row, faced the attacking goalkeeper Cesar, and calmly picked the ball into the net! ”

"Zhen Shaolong!"

"He was only playing in the Champions League for the first time, against the mighty Inter Milan, and he scored three goals and scored a hat-trick!"
