155. Chievo's Logging ...... and muscle show (3 more finishes, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription)
In the next game, Chievo began to implement "logging" tactics against Chu Ge.
The so-called logging tactic is when the defender uses a rough foul and takes turns to contain the opponent's most threatening player.
This is a classic tactic in football and is often used to hit the strong with the weak.
When a weak team encounters a superstar-level player, it can only use foul means to make up for its lack of ability and achieve the purpose of limiting the opponent because conventional means cannot limit the opponent's play.
Obviously, the Chievo players already think that it will be difficult to defend against Chu Ge through conventional defensive means. Therefore, they began to use foul tactics.
In just ten minutes, Chu Ge was brought down six times by the Chievo defender.
For this, their defenders received three yellow cards and two verbal warnings in quick succession.
Mancini burst into flames on the sidelines.
Every time Chu Ge was put down, he felt that his heart was dripping blood. He was babbling complaints from the fourth official on the sidelines, and the fourth official's ears were already filled with Mancini's saliva, and he looked helpless.
Actually, Chu Ge is fine.
This is not the first time he has been subjected to "logging".
As early as last season, in the La B League, many teams used logging tactics against Chu Ge.
On the football field, players with good skills will always be subjected to rough fouls, and players who do not know how to protect themselves will have a great impact on their careers.
In this regard, Zidane taught Chu Ge a lot.
As a master of ball control and a superstar-level midfielder, Zidane's career is a "history of blood and tears" that has been logged. In the face of fierce or ferocious tackles from defenders, Zidane summed up many small tricks against logging tactics as his hair went from the Mediterranean to a hair.
He taught Chu Ge all his life's experience.
Except for top people and baldness.
In the face of the fierce pressing of the Chievo defenders, Chu Ge took the initiative to reduce ball control, increase contact with teammates, and his running position became more erratic.
Once he encounters a defender's relatively large defensive move, he will use his footwork to protect the ball, and then fall to the ground, forcing the opponent to foul while avoiding injury.
This fall to the ground is not diving.
The opponent did foul the opponent, and Chu Ge did not roll on the spot for three and a half weeks after he fell to the ground.
Therefore, the emotions of both sides are also under control.
For the referee's foul penalty, the defender is at most BB a few words and walks away.
In Serie A, this is the first time that Chu Ge has encountered logging by his opponents on the field. That's not a bad thing for him.
First, this proves that his strength has been recognized by opponents, and some teams have begun to target him as an effective means of restraining Inter Milan.
Second, as the league progresses, sooner or later there will be teams that use such tactics to limit him. It's not Chievo, there will be other teams as well.
Well, it's better to adapt to the foul tactics of the Serie A team early and find a solution slowly than to be limited by the opponent all of a sudden.
Anyway, Inter Milan are already ahead in this game, Chu Ge has scored a goal, and their mentality can be very relaxed now.
Chievo's foul tactics slowed down the pace of the game. On the one hand, this limited the attacking rhythm of Chu Ge and Inter Milan, and on the other hand, it also made their attacks less fluid.
In the rest of the game, Chu Ge frequently retreated and began to help the team control the ball, not in a hurry to attack.
And Mancini also replaced Ranocchia and D'Ambrosio, two defensive players, to stabilize the team's defense.
The rest of the game got a little dull.
……
Referee Tagliavento blew the whistle and the game ended.
With Chu Ge's beautiful goal in Longtan alone, Inter Milan had a thrilling goal away from home to win Chievo and curl up for three points.
The moment the final whistle blows.
Mancini was visibly relieved.
With his head down, he walked briskly into the players' tunnel.
Chievo coach Malan stood on the edge of the field, refusing to leave for a long time, with a depressed face.
Obviously, he was not convinced by the defeat in this match.
Equally lost are the Chievo fans.
Before Chu Ge comes on the pitch, they can even expect an upset to knock Inter Milan down and become the first place in the league. In fact, they came close to achieving their goal.
However, they still lost.
"If it weren't for the number 7's goal......"
The fans were talking in the stands, all feeling sorry for the team.
The fans of the away team Inter Milan were very excited, and they shouted the name of Chu Ge in high spirits.
Hearing the applause of the fans, Chu Ge, who had already walked halfway, turned back again. He smiled and took off his shirt and threw it in the fan stands as a way to thank the fans for their support throughout the game.
Chu Ge's move immediately caused a commotion in the stands.
Some fans rushed to pick up the jerseys.
That's when the singles test their hand speed.
Another part of the fans picked up their mobile phones and cameras and shot at Chu Ge.
This is the first time Chu Ge has taken off his shirt in the court.
The effects of his long-term fitness were fully demonstrated at this time. The powerful abs, the perfect vest line, the angular handsome face, and the sweat after intense workout, this picture is so beautiful that the fans keep pressing the shutter.
……
After the game.
Chievo head coach Malan was unconvinced by the defeat.
'I don't think the scoreline reflects the progress of the game, I think the team should have at least a draw because we only allowed Inter to win by one goal.
'Even though the defeat was very bitter, the players did really well and we were able to leave with our heads held high.
'Inter are favourites to win the league and the fact that they were able to get a very difficult win shows that we are doing very well.
Mancini, on the other hand, laughed.
"It feels very good to win."
(Is the team too reliant on Chu?) I don't think that's a problem. Two months ago, you were questioning the deal and saying it was worth it for us to spend so much money on a youngster from the Real Madrid youth team. Now you're saying we're relying too much on him. I think it's a compliment to us for being more than a transfer deal. ”
"I also need to protest that Chievo fouled Chu too much in this game. Chu's kicking is like art, and the rude destruction of art should be condemned. Our league should protect skilled players like Chu, not allow defenders to rudely disrupt them. Only in this way can we make our league more attractive. ”
……
At the end of the game, although he only came on as a substitute for 31 minutes, Chu Ge still scored 8.1 on the hoscored website, and once again became the best in the game.
It was the fourth consecutive game in which he was named Man of the Match.
The goal of six goals in four games also allowed Chu Ge to overtake Sampdoria's Eder and occupy the top spot in the scorer list.
After the victory over Chievo, Inter Milan won all four league games in the new season, reaching 12 points and topping the Serie A table.
This season, they're going very well so far.
In another game at the same time.
Juventus won 2-0 away from home against Genoa. In this game, Genoa scored an own goal, was sent off and awarded a penalty to the Bianconeri.
With a win, Juventus are slowly finding their normal rhythm of the game.
