Chapter 190: Alvarez Appears
El Shaarawy's goal hurt Inter's morale badly, and the reaction of the Inter players did not look like they had conceded a goal, but rather as if they had lost the Champions League final because of it. Under Leonardo's leadership, there is an atmosphere of sadness in the current Inter Milan team, and they often have extremely strong negative emotions because of a goal conceded, although this reaction seems good to Leonardo, but in fact, it has greatly reduced the team's combat effectiveness. Just like now, the score is only 1-2 and they have more than 50 minutes to change the scoreline, but the Inter players are clearly decadent......
Until halftime, Inter Milan, whose main striker was physically exhausted, was unable to launch any decent offensive. However, AC Milan relied on the goal of El Shaarawy to launch a crazy attack, and almost rewrote the score again. When the half-time whistle blew, Leonardo was the first to stand up and return to the dressing room. The young Coutinho stuck out his tongue and looked like an angry spell was inevitable for the main players.
He Xu didn't have time to think about this, he just stood up quickly and took off his long-sleeved robe. Ran onto the pitch to warm up, he didn't think that the disadvantage of a ball would lead to any serious consequences, just chase it back!
Elena in the stands, like Li Yuncong, saw He Xu running onto the field, and involuntarily picked up the camera to take pictures, although Chen Bo's performance was very good, but in the eyes of most fans, He Xu was the more reassuring one on the team's front line. Maybe now the whole Milan City looks at He Xu unpleasantly, only AC Milan and Leonardo! Oh. Forget that Leonardo is also an AC Milan man at heart.
He Xu stepped on the ball at his feet, turned his head to look at Pato who was warming up over there, and couldn't help but think of the previous martial arts fight between himself and Pato, He Xu was secretly ruthless, wait! Brazilian, if you play today, I'm going to beat you up again on the pitch, of course, in terms of goals scored and performances on the pitch.
Think so. He Xu turned around and pumped the ball towards the goal vigorously. In fact, after Pato on the other side felt He Xu's gaze, he was also secretly competing in his heart, if the coach let me play! I'll let you know I'm awesome, you bastard. Let's see the gap between us. Visitors to the Football Wasteland......
He Xu shot the balls towards the goal one by one. Feel the changes in your body. Adjust the state and feelings of the body as soon as possible, waiting for Leonardo's arrangement.
In the dressing room at Inter Milan, Leonardo still has a trademark black face. Criticizing his players. After venting the anger in his heart, he finally said the first useful words, "Okay! Now we're only one goal down, it's not difficult to get it back, we have to make changes from the second half, so I'll lay out the tactics for the second half. As he spoke, he picked up his marker pen and prepared to draw it on the tactics board.
Chen Bo, who had been drinking with his head down, raised his head at this time, "Wait, coach!" The tactics of the second half, you call He Xu back! In the second half, I probably won't be able to keep playing! You let him come on as a substitute for me! β
Leonardo talked to Chen Bo, and he has always been kind and pleasant, but today maybe because Chen Bo kicked that excellent opportunity to play a small angle single knife, Leonardo didn't have a good face for him, but said coldly, "It's up to me to decide who to play!" I'm the manager! Right? β
Chen Bo was stunned, there are only two centers in your squad, I'm out, you don't let He Xu play? Should CΓ©sar be allowed to play as a striker?
Just when he was suspicious, Leonardo said to his assistant coach: "You go, call Ricardo back and let him listen to my tactical setup for the second half!" β
Chen Bo listened to Leonardo's words in surprise, suspecting that something was wrong with his ears. Alvarez is indeed a good player, with a unique distinction between his breakthrough and ball control ability. But in this kind of battle, what is the use of a winger who has average shooting ability and is not very physical?
Alvarez returned to the dressing room, he was chatting with Coutinho on the pitch, and he even felt that he had no chance to play in this game, so he was relaxed.
As soon as he entered the locker room, he felt that everyone looked at him strangely, and he subconsciously reached out and touched his face, could it be that there was something wrong with my appearance? Just as he was standing at the door, he suddenly heard Leonardo say to himself, "Come in!" Ricardo, listen to the tactical set-up of the second half! β
Ricardo. Alvarez opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Ah...... Yes? What the? β
Leonardo said impatiently, "Ah what? I said that in the second half of the game, you should come on as a substitute, you have to perform well and try to help the team equalize as soon as possible! Remember?! Come in and listen! β
Alvarez felt that the coach must be joking with himself or mocking himself, at this point in a season, when did he make the coach have such strong confidence in himself when he only scored six goals in total, besides, shouldn't it be He Xu's kid who replaced Chen Bo? How could it be me?
Leonardo ignored the reaction of the players, and did not have the heart to deal with Alvarez, who was still in a daze, and quickly laid out the tactics for the second half. When Alvarez heard that he allowed himself to shoot more and break through more, he almost didn't cry.
I want to shoot, but you're going to give me that chance!" Let me protect the ball by myself, dribble by myself, and shoot against the defense like Chen Bo? Oh my! It must be that the coach got the wrong script today, I'm not a center!
He Xu, who finished the halftime warm-up, was wiping his sweat with a towel, he was waiting for the coach to arrange for him to play, and it could be seen that Chen Bo had reached the limit, Chen Bo's physical condition must not allow him to exceed the limit, so the coach will definitely let him play, waiting for me to beat you! Milan, you will regret your choice......
"As far as I can see, He Xu will definitely be allowed to play in the second half of the game, Chen Bo's physical condition seems to be unbearable, and He Xu is naturally the best choice to come off the bench, and with He Xu's strength, maybe he can really create a miracle and help Inter Milan overtake the score!" Duan Xian said.
Just when He Xu was looking forward to it, the second half of the game began. Chen Bo came out and sat on the bench, and the coach did not find his own tactics for the second half of the game.
He Xu still thought to himself: Does the coach trust me so much now? Don't even need a tactical setup to just let me play? So if you don't win for him, I'm a little sorry for him!
But then the sign raised by the fourth official made He Xu almost swallow his saliva, Inter Milan, No. 18, No. 11. When Coutinho stretched out his hand to pull He Xu, did He Xu come to his senses? Substitute Chen Bo, not me? But Ricardo? Ricardo to play center? This......
"Wait, we saw Leonardo make a substitution, oops, that's weird, it's an unexpected substitution! After Chen Bo got off the field, he was replaced by Argentine Alvarez, which made me a little incomprehensible, why didn't He Xu play? Could it be that the fourth official was mistaken? Oh no, Alvarez was already in the line. Leonardo is a manager like no other......"
He Xu didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just walked to the bench with an expressionless face and sat next to Chen Bo. His calm appearance made Chen Bo a little scared.
Chen Bo lowered his voice and said in Chinese: "You...... Are you okay? What do you want to say? β
He Xu shrugged, "It seems that it won't be long before Elena retires, and she has successfully cultivated a new reporter from where she lives." β
Chen Bo listened to He Xu's ridicule, pouted and said, "What? Feeling upset? β
"It's alright! It's just a little unexpected and worried, you said that in this game, can our team still win? β
"It should ...... Yes! After all, it's just a goal behind, it's not that serious. There's still plenty of time. β
"I'm afraid that this time is not ours, but the opponent's." He Xu said meaningfully.
As if to satirize Chen Bo's words and confirm He Xu's statement, another goal occurred on the field, and this time it was Ibrahimovic who scored. The Swedes, who had been helping El Shaarawy in the first half, got away from shooting in the box after a trademark catch to give AC Milan a 3-1 lead.
Chen Bo was dumbfounded, while He Xu spread his hands with a look of "Look at what I said".
'At the start of the second half, Milan scored again, which was a bit of a surprise.
Alvarez, who had just come on the pitch, was disoriented in the Milan penalty area and he simply struggled to resist Thiago. Silva's strong body was only able to rely on running to find opportunities, and as soon as he received the ball, Thiago. Silva clung to it and broke the ball off with his long legs.
After the break, the brother and daughter-in-law just faced their own goal and knocked the ball backwards to Pirlo's feet.
After Pirlo received the ball, he calmly passed the ball out, Pirlo's long pass scheduling ability can be regarded as the world's top in a few years, and this kick fell to Xiao Luo's feet with extreme accuracy. Xiao Luo passed with his heel, the ball reached the feet of Shaarawy, after receiving the ball, Shaarawy reciprocated, and finally sent a good ball to the big brother Ibrahimovic who had been helping him make the ball, after Ibrahimovic received the ball, his body turned, relying on the agility that did not match his height to avoid Samuel's clumsy steal, and hit the ball into Cesar's goal......
