Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Split-Second Decision
readx;
"It was an Inter corner...... Ranocchia and Hummels were both in front of Real Madrid's goal, ready to battle for the top ...... Sneijder's corner! Clear! He got ahead of Ranocchia and pushed the ball out! …… This is Real Madrid's counterattack! Ronaldo passed the football to Kaka and made a beautiful pass...... Kaka! Kaka dribbles! He's pretty fast! He's been through Mota! He's waded through Mota!! ”
The narrator shouted excitedly, and the TV camera followed Kaka as he ran wildly, and everyone else focused on the Brazilian. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Whoever is at the feet of the football is the only protagonist on the field.
Now in the backfield of Inter Milan, in addition to goalkeeper Cesar, there are only two full-backs Yuto Nagatomo and Aguilera, and the two central defenders Ranocchia and Hummels, although they are strong and have strong header ability, but their speed is not fast, and it will take a long time to rush back from the Real Madrid penalty area.
The only thing that can barely be considered "advantageous" for Inter Milan is that there are only two attackers on Real Madrid's side.
But this is not necessarily "favorable" news. Because of these two people, one is Kaka with the ball, and the other is C. Ronaldo on the other side.
The two former world footballers have joined forces, and Yuto Nagatomo and Aguilera have expressed a lot of pressure...... Of course, none of these people noticed that another world footballer was coming from the back at high speed...... In order to avoid Mota, Kaka dribbled diagonally and rushed from the middle to the side, and now his opponent is Yuto Nagatomo.
Nagatomo Yu didn't rush up to break Kaka's ball, he had already seen the end from Mota just now.
He fought and retreated, and he was stuck on the inside anyway, not allowing Kaka to break through the sideline easily. If Kaka is going to break through himself, he will stop the Brazilian with a foul at the cost of a red card!
Kaka did accelerate towards Yuto Nagatomo.
"Yuto Nagatomo is facing the impact of Kaka! It was a test for him! Come on, Nagatomo-san! The Japanese commentator got carried away and shouted to cheer for his compatriots.
Kaka suddenly accelerated, and Yuto Nagatomo tensed violently, and he realized that the Brazilian midfielder might be about to force his way through...... But just when Kaka's body bullied him, he suddenly passed sideways!
The ball passed directly from the right rib to the feet of C. Ronaldo on the left rib!
This is a more dangerous figure than Kaka...... "Kaka passed the football to Ronaldo......" The Brazilian commentators were clearly disappointed, and they were going to watch Kaka take on the Japanese full-back. Of course, according to their own preconceived scenario, Kaka should easily wade past Yuto Nagatomo, then burst into the penalty area, put on a good duel with his attacking national team team-mate Cesar, and finally hit the ball into Cesar's goal.
Now their dreams have come to naught, and the limelight has been stolen by that pesky Portuguese kid.
Sure enough, seeing C. Ronaldo get the ball, the Portuguese commentator was excited. Although Portuguese is spoken in Portugal and Brazil, relations between the two sides are by no means as friendly as one might think. There was one game to prove this – at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Brazil and Portugal were drawn into a group stage, in which the two teams met not in the style of samba football and European Latinos, but with constant physical contact, bumps and fouls, as well as chatter and bickering after the fouls. Pepe, who came out of Brazil, showed no mercy in the face of his compatriots in his home country, and repeatedly violated Brazilian players.
Brazil was once a Portuguese colony, and with this history, it is not difficult to understand the hateful relationship between Brazil and Portugal.
The Portuguese commentator's mouth is already open, ready to make a series of brilliant commentary for C. Ronaldo's brilliant performance, like a machine gun.
"Cristiano! He received the ball! Now there is only Aguilera in front of him, and this Uruguayan will certainly not be able to stop Ronaldo's breakthrough! It's time for Ronaldo to make a difference for Real Madrid! ”
The Portuguese commentator was extremely excited.
But C. Ronaldo didn't break through Aguilera as easily as he said, he passed the ball straight to the middle and ran forward on his own...... Knowing this time, everyone noticed the third Real Madrid player who suddenly rushed into the front of the Inter Milan penalty area - Chu Zhongtian with the rolling football.
"Aha! It's Chu Zhongtian! "It's Duan Bin's turn to get excited." He received the ball in the most dangerous place!! ”
C. After Ronaldo passed the football to Chu Zhongtian, he ran straight forward, and Kaka did the same, when he saw Chu Zhongtian receiving the football, he himself suddenly cut inside.
Now Inter Milan's two full-backs are in a dilemma - if they both go to Chu Zhongtian, then the huge space behind them will be used by Chu Zhongtian and C. Ronaldo and Kaka, because there is still a certain distance between the two sides, they can be sure that as long as they move, Chu Zhongtian will pass a through ball to threaten their back.
They're not stupid.
But if they don't pounce on Chu Zhongtian, then the middle road is empty, isn't this just opening the gate for Chu Zhongtian to rush in? Whether it's a breakthrough or a long-range shot, he's enough to threaten Cesar's goal. Especially long-range shots. You must know that he almost scored with two long-range shots before, but this time without interference, if he is allowed to shoot from a distance, I am afraid that he will score an ironclad goal...... The seeds planted in the hearts of the Inter Milan players before Chu Zhongtian have blossomed.
You can't go up to defend Chu Zhongtian, and you can't let him go...... Both Yuto Nagatomo and Aguilera are in a dilemma.
It was Nagatomo Yudu who made the choice first, he chose to rush to Chu Zhongtian, as for the vacancy and Kaka behind him, he couldn't care about it, whoever took the ball naturally had the greatest threat, and the defense of course had to deal with the ball that posed the greatest threat to the goal first.
But just when he was about to grab it, he saw Chu Zhongtian's body deviate and made a move to pass the football to Kaka.
At this moment, Nagatomo Yu hesitated and was stunned.
Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian's right leg was kicked out, but he didn't pass the football out, but hooked his ankle, wrapped the football and hooked it back...... Feints!
When Nagasomo You found out, Chu Zhongtian had already rushed between him and Aguilera!
"Chu Zhongtian! Pretty! Nice break! He broke through the defenses of Yuto Nagatomo and Aguilera very easily! Duan Bin shouted.
In the eyes of outsiders, Chu Zhongtian's extraordinary person was just a blink of an eye, very relaxed and casual, as if Nagatomo Yudu and Aguilera had specially put him in.
By the time Aguilera and Nagatomo Yu both found out about the problem, it was too late to stop Chu Zhongtian, so they could only watch him rush to the penalty area...... And C. Ronaldo and Kaka are still continuing to run, and the three of them are advancing in unison, like a tidal wave rushing to Inter Milan's goal.
After it was too difficult for junior high school to break through Aguilera and Yuto Nagatomo, it was Cesar's turn to do the multiple-choice questions.
attack, then Chu Zhongtian can pass the football horizontally to C. Ronaldo or any one of Kaka, the three of them run in a straight line, and Cesar is the last defender, so there is no offside when Chu Zhongtian crosses.
If he doesn't attack to block the angle, Chu Zhongtian can shoot directly, and the huge goal, he can score any matter how he hits, there is no suspense.
So to attack or not to strike?
Fortunately, Chu Zhongtian didn't continue to annoy him, and directly gave the answer - he shot from a distance!
Twenty-five meters from the goal, he shot straight from distance!
"Chu-!!"
"Chu Zhongtian...... Long - Shoot !! Oh-" Duan Bin shouted.
The ball flew straight towards Cesar's goal like a cannon shell.
Because he didn't attack at the first time, the angle that Cesar could block was very limited, and Chu Zhongtian deliberately chose a more tricky angle, so the final result can be imagined...... Cesar pounced on the ball as much as he could, trying to stop it. Chu Zhongtian's angle was so awkward that he couldn't block ...... "gooooooo!!oo The Spanish commentator looked up and roared. Real Madrid took the lead, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground!
"Beautiful! Nice long shot! The ball is in! Real Madrid scored an away goal away from home and took the lead! ”
“goooooooool!! goooooooool!! gol! gol! gol! goooooooool!!! This time the commentators from Portugal and Brazil were all standing together and they were chanting at the same time to announce the goal.
Cesar fell to the ground, the ball fell from the net to the ground, and then slowly rolled out and stopped beside him, as if deliberately mocking his incompetence in front of him.
But in fact, you really can't blame him for this lost goal, from the corner kick was Chu Zhongtian's ceiling, Inter Milan lost in all links.
Especially since none of them noticed Chu Zhongtian, who was plugged in at high speed...... "Wonderful!" Wonderful! It's so exciting! A classic quick counter-attack that is enough to write in a football textbook! A classic example of a midfielder inserting in the back! A great example of the perfect combination of individual heroism and team spirit! Real Madrid's goal was brilliant! ”
"Kaka's burst completely disrupted Inter's defensive rhythm! His breakthrough was too sharp! It was he who made it clean through Motta in the middle and gave Real Madrid a numerical advantage on the counter-attack! ”
"Cristiano. Ronaldo's decisive pass was the turning point! If it weren't for him judging the situation, Chu's back plug would only be wasted! It was clear that Aguilera didn't expect Ronaldo to pass the ball so quickly! ”
The commentators of Brazil and Portugal immediately began to praise their respective players separately after reaching a consensus for the time being.
In their opinion, the most crucial part of this goal must have been done by their own players. This is obviously a little unfair to Chu Zhongtian, who scored the goal, but Chu Zhongtian doesn't care at all, he is celebrating the goal with his teammates.
It was his fourth goal against Inter Milan, the first three of which were all scored at Hoffenheim.
The excitement of this ball may not be understood by many ordinary people, after all, in their opinion, Chu Zhongtian's breakthrough is too simple and easy, and Nagatomo Yudu and Aguilera did not cause him any trouble, so they watched Chu Zhongtian break through. To put it mildly, it was also the defensive mistakes of Yuto Nagatomo and Aguilera, not the level of Chu Zhongtian.
But only the parties themselves know best what happened at that moment.
At the very least, Changyouyoudu's eyes were different when he looked at Chu Zhongtian's back.
If last year, when the Japanese national team met the Chinese team in the semifinals of the Asian Cup, Yuto Nagatomo was not very convinced, then he lost convincingly just now. It was just a moment of careful thinking, but Chu Zhongtian saw through it and used it to the fullest...... A feint of passing the ball deceived his body for a moment, maybe it was just a matter of a second, which was enough for Chu Zhongtian to use it to break through. The calculation is too clever and the technology is too mature...... Is this the strength of the new World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or?
※※※ Chu Zhongtian and his teammates celebrated the goal, but Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho did not say anything. After Chu Zhongtian scored, the assistant coach Karanka next to him rushed out excitedly, but he didn't say anything, just stood on the sidelines like a wooden statue.
It was his way of apologizing to his former club, just as he did not celebrate at Stamford Bridge after Samuel Eto'o's goal.
This is clearly very popular, and there are Inter Milan fans chanting Mourinho's name.
But it didn't sound like it to Leonardo, who felt that it was Inter fans calling for Jose Mourinho to replace him. This shows that he has worked hard in this team for more than a season, but he is still not as good as Mourinho, who has left the team for almost two years. He is likely to continue to live in Mourinho's shadow...... It's definitely a future that he doesn't want to face, so he has to win against Mourinho at home no matter what. Don't worry about what to do in the second round, and if you can't even win the first round, don't think about the second round.
What should I do if I fall behind now? It's simple, attack!
Leonardo quickly called Sneijder to the sidelines and lectured him in person.
On the other side, Real Madrid's players celebrated their goals and didn't care how long they had to celebrate. The situation is too favourable for them now, first they take the lead in the game and that sets the stage for the win, and secondly they get a goal away from home that will likely play a key role in the second leg.
There are many teams that play such knockout rounds, and even the purpose of the away game is to score away goals, not to win...... "Good job, Chu!" ”
"Well done, Chu!!"
"We must take the victory from here!!"
Everyone cheered each other on, patting each other's shoulders and backs.
Today's Real Madrid team is indeed much more united than before.
Chu Zhongtian caught up with the best time, if it was Real Madrid a few years earlier, I am afraid that no matter how high Chu Zhongtian's level is, coming here is equivalent to falling into a quagmire, and it is difficult to move an inch. A team that is not united, no matter how many of the world's top players are piled up, will not help and will not win any championship.
After the celebration, the Real Madrid players ran back to their own half, while the Inter Milan players placed their football in the center circle and waited for kickoff.
Sneijder has returned to the pitch, and he has Leonardo's latest wishes and has told his teammates about them.
Leonardo's new will was simple - to attack.
It was important to equalise as soon as possible, especially to try to equalise before the end of the first half.
How to attack?
Leonardo told Sneijder to press Real Madrid up front.
He can see that the Real Madrid players are under too little pressure at the back, and if they are pressed, they can be left scrambling and making some mistakes themselves, so that Inter will have a chance.
If Inter Milan want to score, there is only one way.
He felt that whether it was Barcelona or Real Madrid, they were afraid of being pressed.
After the restart of the game, Real Madrid did get up and down for a while because of Inter Milan's pressing.
Because they didn't expect Inter Milan to suddenly change their tactics and choose to press all over the field.
Originally, Real Madrid planned to take advantage of the momentum of the lead to continue to strengthen the attack and strive for another goal before the end of the first half. As a result, Inter Milan's pressing tactics disrupted their wishful thinking.
It was not possible to extend the score until the end of the first half.
This is certainly a failure for the Real Madrid players, but for the Inter Milan players, it must not be regarded as a success. You must know that Leonardo's intention is not to stop conceding goals, but to equalize. Now there was no goal until the end of the first half, which is obviously a failure.
It's a pity that their momentum is amazing, causing the Inter Milan fans in the stands to shout and cheer one after another, but they can't convert it into goals.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the Inter Milan players could not hide their disappointment on their faces.
Real Madrid's players were much more relaxed.
After all, they're ahead now.
This halftime was much better.
When the first half ended, the TV camera was firmly focused on Chu Zhongtian, who was the most active and best player for Real Madrid in the first half, and was also the key figure in Real Madrid's ability to score an away goal and temporarily lead on the road.
Even Chu Zhongtian's performance directly affected Real Madrid's results in the second half, and whether they can finally take away a victory from the Meazza Stadium depends on the commander of Real Madrid.
