Chapter 143: Stalemate
Among Inter Milan's starting 11, only Forlan and Shi Hao are not familiar with each other, and when Forlan joined the team, Shi Hao had just left for a day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The other 10 people all greeted Shi Hao, and some seemed friendly and warm, such as captain Zanetti, Shi Hao's teammate in the U20 echelon Falaoni, and Nagatomo Yuto, who is also Asian. There are also some who are a little cold, such as the team's thigh Sneijder, veteran Lucio, etc.
Shi Hao's mood calmed down, and he wanted to burst out all his enthusiasm after the game started.
As soon as the game began, Bologna pressed heavily and engaged in fierce scrambles in every corner of the pitch, preventing Inter Milan from getting through the midfield.
After watching the game for a few minutes, Duan Wenxuan finally saw the situation clearly: "It seems that Inter Milan is playing in a 4231 formation in today's game, with Yuto Nagatomo at left back, McCone at right back, and captain Zanetti and Cambiaso in the position of midfielder. A little in front of the two of them, from left to right, are Forlan, Sneijder, Faraoni, and then in front of the lone striker Pacini. I have to say, this arrangement is a bit strange. But there is no way, Stankovic, Alvarez and Milito are all injured, and Ranieri is also a good woman who has no rice to cook. ”
His partner Wang Tao said: "Bologna's formation today is a bit like 361, with the two full-backs Moleo and Goric standing very high up and assisting their midfielders to press high together. Perez and Mudingai are still in the back, and Shi Hao is on the left, Diamanti is on the right, but the two of them are closer to the middle than usual, and they usually cut inside after taking the ball, which is to give the wing to Moleo and Goric to attack. ”
Duan Wenxuan sighed: "Stefano Pioli's tactics are very bold, they are going to be anti-guest-oriented." Regardless of the fact that they are in a 361 formation, they have more troops than Inter Milan when they go into attack. ”
Wang Tao said: "Yes, judging from the opening minutes, Inter Milan played relatively passively and couldn't hold the ball at all. ”
Shi Hao knows Inter Milan very well, and his opponent today is also known to him since he was at the U20s. Falahoni played at right-back at Under-20s, which is a decent fit for his age, but a little slower. His tackling skills are okay, but his defensive positioning is poor, so it's no wonder that Ranieri promoted him to the right winger position in order to allow him to act as a-stirring stick up front, pressing high up front.
It just so happens that Bologna is also accustomed to an oppressive style of play, and is accustomed to pressing from the high post. In the collision of this pair, Faraoni was completely blown up by Shi Hao, and in less than 8 minutes after the opening, he was broken through by Shi Hao twice.
Noticing that Shi Hao's side was in a state of flux, Bologna deliberately tilted the direction of the attack towards his side.
In the 9th minute, Shi Hao took the ball on the right side again, his right foot shook a shot on the ball, and then suddenly accelerated along the sideline and rushed forward.
Before, Shi Hao cut inside every time he took the ball, and Falaoni had already formed a fixed thinking, and he didn't react a little this time. When he hurriedly wanted to chase Shi Hao, he fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Shi Hao kicked the ball out of the sideline.
Falahoni was lifted off the pitch for treatment, and Inter Milan's new signing this season, Castenho, began to warm up on the sidelines. Shi Hao felt a little reluctant, he was eager for revenge, but he didn't want his friends to be hurt.
However, it does not appear that Franconi's injury is too serious, and he returned to the pitch after a brief treatment.
In the 14th minute, Inter Milan, who had been under pressure, kicked out their first threatening attack. Sneijder's corner kick from the right was sent straight to the front post, and Pacini jumped up to volley at the side netting from Antenson's interference, sending Gillet into a cold sweat.
The shot seemed to awaken Inter's morale, and they began to gain the upper hand with their individual strength. In the 18th minute, Sneijder took a free-kick from the right and Ranocchia jumped high to stand out from the crowd and snatch the spot from six yards in front of goal. But his header was babbed by Raj and just over the crossbar.
Sneijder continued to take a corner, this time it was McCone who fought for the spot, and his header was about to hit the back of the net, but Gillet subconsciously stretched out his left leg to block it, and there was chaos in front of Bologna.
"If you continue to play like this, Bologna will be dangerous," Duan Wenxuan judged, "After all, Inter Milan was the treble winner two years ago, although it is starting to decline a little, but the tiger is dead, once they are smooth, Bologna may not be able to parry." ”
Pioli was clearly aware of the problem, rushing to the sidelines and waving his players to step up the defence a bit.
As a result, the tempo on the pitch has slowed down a lot under the tacit understanding between the two sides, and the fans can see more exciting combinations, but the chances of both sides to be dangerous have also decreased.
Although Shi Hao was burdened with the task of scoring three goals, he was not in a hurry. He was patiently waiting for his opportunity.
He didn't even have a shot on goal until the start, and today he didn't want to waste the ball, unless he felt confident, he didn't want to go out blindly.
And Faraoni, who is opposite him, is also very cautious. Falaoni was well aware of the difference in strength between him and Shi Hao, and did not try to dribble the ball in front of Shi Hao, playing very succinctly. Despite this, he still had two passes that Shi Hao predicted in advance.
In the 26th minute, Shi Hao cut off Faraoni's pass, passed it back to Mudingayi, and continued to run forward. Mudingayi passed the ball to Diamanti on the right, who took a step after receiving the ball, and then made a long diagonal pass to Shi Hao, who was inserting at high speed.
Shi Hao stopped the ball on his chest on the left side of the penalty area, stepped on his bike twice and broke through to the baseline, but did not shake off McConn's defense, so he handed the ball to Mudingayi, who was plugged in in the back row. Mudingayi stopped the ball and shot straight at goal, but it was blocked by Cesar.
In the 29th minute, Sneijder's cross from the right was pushed out by Portanova, he grabbed the ball at the second drop point and crossed again, and McConn, who was inserted at some point, suddenly appeared in front of the goal and headed the ball! Gillet didn't have time to react as the ball went just wide of the near post.
In the 31st minute, Mudingayi returned the ball with a header from the backfield, and the vice-captain Portanova made a serious mistake, he didn't touch the ball, and the ball slowly rolled towards the goal! A player in a blue and black quiver pulls in at high speed, receives the ball almost to the small penalty area, and shoots with his feet!
"Fran, Fran got the ball! He shot! Oops, Gillett blocked the ball with his left foot. This goal shouldn't be, for a striker of Forlan's level, it is unforgivable to miss such an opportunity! ”
Many Inter fans made a gesture of hugging their heads, and Forlan himself was so annoyed that he knelt on the lawn for a long time and did not want to get up.
Shi Hao breathed a sigh of relief. If Inter take the lead, they will have to go on the defensive, and it will be even more difficult for him to score a hat-trick. (To be continued.) )
