Chapter 482: The Game

In fact, it is not very difficult for the manager to observe from the sidelines - it is not as intuitive as watching live TV, being able to see all kinds of details intuitively, and even less intuitive than the fans looking down from the stands - because their line of sight is parallel to the stadium, and from this angle of view, of course, there will be a lot of things that will be missed, which Dick also suffered a lot when he started to coach the team, after all, he was born from the grassroots and had no experience in this area, but fortunately he adapted quickly.

From this point of view, it is also very difficult to see what you want to see, and football coaches generally have good eyes, and even if they are short-sighted, they will wear the best glasses.

The two sides are entangled in the midfield, with the current state, anyone is likely to score in the next game, and both sides do not dare to easily change their defensive strategy, otherwise it will be easy to be caught by the opponent when they change.

And at this point, shortly after the start of the second half, luck seemed to be on Chelsea's side.

After receiving a pass from Essien, Lampard quickly passed the ball to Duff on the wing, Duff began to break through from the right side, and it was Zanetti who came up to defend him - Zanetti is of course very good in defense, whether it is in position or turning, it is not easy to break through his defense, and he has a lot of stamina, and he can show his ability smoothly in the game, which is also an advantage for him.

However, Duff is not without advantages - that is, his speed, now Duff is at his peak, his speed is very fast, and Zanetti is also very good despite his long-distance running ability, but he can never be compared with his youth in terms of explosiveness, how to say that he is also a thirty-two-year-old person, and in terms of explosiveness, he still has to suffer a little loss.

So after Duff saw Zanetti coming up, he didn't plan to use his skills to shake the other party, after all, the other party is experienced, and any feints may be difficult to hide from the other party's eyes, and Zanetti's center of gravity is very stable, no matter how much he eats feints, he is unlikely to lose his balance, so he used the simplest way, kicking, accelerating, and rushing!

This kind of brutality, usually seems very unwise, but at this time the effect is good, because Chelsea's counterattack is also very good, Inter Milan is also guarding their own areas in the defensive line, Zanetti has no one behind him to help fill the position, when seeing Duff rushing with the ball like this, Zanetti quickly turned around and wanted to catch up, but it was already destined to be unable to form any block before Duff passed......

However, Zanetti is not in a hurry, although he can't block his cross, but if Duff wants to break through to the penalty area, then he still has time to block, although a center forward like Drogba is quite strong in grabbing points, but Inter Milan also has a tall defender like Materazzi in the penalty area, the two are entangled, and Drogba may not have a chance to grab a point.

Just when he saw Duff catching up with the ball, Duff did not choose to cross, but dunked the ball inward, and Zanetti immediately accelerated and rushed up to block Duff's inward cut!

At the same time, Inter Milan's defense has been recycled, this is a strategy to prevent Duff from really cutting inside, if Duff cuts inside, it is easy to mess up the entire penalty area, strengthen the number of defenders in the box, block the opponent's attack, this is what should be done.

However, just as Zanetti pounced, Duff stopped cutting inside and raised his foot to cross directly!

The cross was fast, there was no curvature, and the landing point didn't seem to be very good - but this half-high ball flew directly to the edge of the penalty area, just when the entire Inter defense was recovering at the same time!

Robben ran sideways from the sideline, and in the sprint he shook off Córdoba, at which time Mascherano also noticed that something was wrong, and he began to move sideways to block Robben's grab, but he was still a step too slow!

When Cordoba and Mascherano were about to form a flank, Robben picked up his right foot at the top of the arc at the edge of the penalty area, and then leaned over and shot at the first time!

As soon as the ball was shot, Cordoba and Mascherano were on their feet – and if he had stopped the ball, Córdoba and Mascherano would have been able to block it!

It is very difficult to shoot directly from such a volley without stopping, and there are many people on both sides in the penalty area, but it is such a shot, flying diagonally into the penalty area, flying in front of Materazzi, and then passing by Cesar, who is struggling to jump, and flying directly into the door of Inter Milan by grazing the far post!

Such a sideways volley actually bypassed the heavy figures in the penalty area, and then flew into the gate from a dead corner!

"The ball is in! Robben's shot was ...... You said he was messing around, but he got in...... It can only be said that this goal is too exciting, and his luck is too good, presumably even he may not be able to score such a goal again! Chelsea equalised! This is a huge blow for Inter Milan! Are they going to continue like this now? They don't have the lead right now, and their previous attacks didn't work well against Chelsea's defence......

All the Chelsea fans are in good spirits, and now the score is a draw - to be honest, they are not dissatisfied with a draw away from home, and this time it is really a draw, there is no doubt that it means that Chelsea can occupy a little more advantage next, they have a good defense, and then hold well, wait for the opportunity to counterattack, at least they can get a draw, if they are lucky, they can sneak attack again, and it is not too difficult to pick Inter Milan off the road!

Chelsea's performance last season has given them a lot of confidence, and the semi-final defeat to Liverpool only made them even more unconvinced, and this season, they will be aiming for the Champions League title again, and Inter Milan is also the first target they will step on! At this point, their ideas are not different from those of Inter Milan.

They now admit that Inter Milan are indeed very strong in attack, but compared to Chelsea, Inter Milan is still a little bit worse!

Dick shook his head, there was really nothing to do with this ball, and no player made a mistake, and the opponent just scored: "Robben, this guy, is really a nerve knife, such a goal can be scored......"

After sighing, Dick stood up, and then made a slightly calmer gesture to the field, from the current situation, Chelsea has changed some compared with the first half, but the changes are mainly reflected in the attack, there is still no change in the defense, then their tactical arrangements are still effective, at this time, it is not time to be in a hurry.

The players of Inter Milan also understand that such a conceded goal is not enough to make them waver, but only to make them unconvinced!

After the restart, Inter Milan immediately launched an attack, and Chelsea also began to defend step by step, Mourinho did not think about losing his team's best place in this game, using defense to counter the opponent's attack, is what they are best at, although Inter Milan also controlled their counterattack very well, but the character burst brought such a goal, and then of course they must make good use of it!

Chelsea's steel midfield is still constantly intercepting, and Inter Milan is not in a hurry to attack, but still continues to pass, looking for holes in the backline, showing enough patience.

Mourinho also nodded secretly, Dick's adjustment to Inter Milan can be said to have been quite effective, at least this mentality is very different from before, Inter Milan has never been so calm before.

Sneijder and Figo continued to organize in the midfield, and Adriano began to constantly retreat to break through with the ball, which began to bring more pressure to Chelsea's central defense, plus Figo also went to the side from time to time to attack, as well as Perrotta's wandering on the side, which also shocked Chelsea's side can not support the middle well, and Inter Milan's attack gradually became smooth.

Mourinho naturally observed this, Essien and Makelele are strong, but in the face of the opponent's Sneijder, Figo, Adriano in turn is still a bit bad, after Lampard returned to the defense, Mascherano is tough on the top, continue to maintain a strong pressure on the Chelsea in the middle.

Mourinho is starting to feel that something is wrong, Inter Milan's attack in the middle is getting more and more fierce, is Dick playing the idea of attacking the middle? It's really not surprising, after all, Inter Milan has been paying more attention to attacking in the middle, and now they have a few attacks in the middle with various characteristics, they can shoot and pass and cooperate, if they continue to play like this, Makelele and Essien's physical energy is also very large, Essien is okay, this guy can run like a buffalo, and Makelele is not young, he may not be able to withstand it, and Makelele is the most important link in the Chelsea defense, if Makelele goes down for physical reasons, Can Chelsea's backline maintain such an impregnable defence?

After thinking about it for a while, Mourinho finally made a decision, he instructed Carvalho to go up to midfield to help defence, and Galla to return to the box to help defend - this is also something that cannot be helped, Galla is physical, and it is no problem to go back and forth between the middle and the wing, as long as he does not make mistakes......

The Inter players felt the change at Chelsea immediately – it gave them more confidence and sure enough, with our attack down the middle, Chelsea started to loosen up their defence on the flanks, and that's what the boss said at half-time!

The next thing we have to do is look for opportunities and complete the killer goal!

Dick looked at his watch, Chelsea's equalizer was in the 55th minute, and now it has been 70 minutes, Mourinho is indeed very calm, if it were not for Inter Milan has not shown any intention to play on the wing, he probably would not have made such a decision!

Now, it's up to the players on the pitch to take their chances!

The Inter players did not disappoint them.

In the 73rd minute, Sneijder's forward cut attracted the attention of the opponent, and at the same time as he stepped forward, there was Mascherano behind him, Adriano in front of him, and Perrotta also came to the middle to respond, in this case, Figo quietly switched to the wing......

After attracting enough attention, Sneijder sent a beautiful mid-long pass from 15 meters, and the ball fell to the feet of Figo, who received the ball on the wing and began to break through in one go!

Galla rushed up to defend him, but Figo sent a beautiful curling ball before he came up, Toni jumped up the middle to attract the attention of Terry and Carvalho, and Adriano, who was inserted in the back row, picked up his left foot against the falling ball and fired a powerful shot at goal, so that Cech didn't react at all!
