Chapter 297: Anxious Hulk
This time, Handanovic was genuinely nervous. Should I strike or not?
He Xu didn't give him a chance to think further, he made a mistake at his feet, and knocked the ball towards the goal with a very fancy scissor foot, this trick was learned by He Xu and Di Maria, as a left-footed player, Di Maria is very dependent on his left foot, it is hard to imagine that he is a world-class star and it is difficult to have a foot that can have any effect. It is precisely because of this that Di Maria practiced this superb scissor kick.
Of course, He Xu used this trick at this time to completely catch the opponent off guard, and the balance of his left and right feet is well known. He was also one of the few players in many later soccer games who could achieve a perfect score with both feet and no backfoot.
Handanovic saw that the ball was on He Xu's left side, and thought that He Xu would choose to push the ball to his right side with his left foot, so Handanovic, who did not attack, kept his focus on that side. But when He Xu's right foot suddenly went around the back of his left foot and hit the ball to his right side, Handanovic could only soften his feet and sit on the ground, unable to do anything.
He Xu's kick is indeed a stroke of genius, in fact, it is fair to say that even if you don't count his "bullet time" ability with some supernatural ingredients, he can be regarded as a relatively good striker today, even though he is only eighteen years old.
This shot was quite imaginative, but it was a pity that Meacha's column did not give their rebels this face. Just when many people thought that He Xu was going to open the scoring for Real Madrid again, the football actually hit the inside of the front of the post. Bounce out!
"Ball in...... Yes?! The ball is denied by the post! Inter Milan escaped again! It seems that today's God is wearing a blue-black jersey! Real Madrid's formidable attacking line has created chances countless times so far in this game, but has not been able to score a single goal, and now that the first half is coming to an end, Mourinho's midfield will have to make adjustments, otherwise he will fall on the doorstep of his former club in the Champions League. Duan Xian said.
In fact, Duan Xian's heart doesn't know who he supports, Inter Milan? It was indeed his favorite team, and there was such a Chinese player as Chen Bo. But what about Real Madrid? This team was once a supreme honor. There will also be a team that will create new brilliance. And He Xu is indeed an unforgettable player......
Duan Xian opened his mouth and did not speak. He was looking at the field intently, and the football that hit the post was cleared by the big foot of Qiwo, who was chasing back in time, leaving only He Xu, who was chasing the football but could not succeed, stomped his foot hard.
All Mourinho can do off the field is to raise his hands and sigh helplessly at the night sky of Milan. I lamented that my disciple was really unlucky today.
Good fortune did not favor He Xu and Real Madrid throughout the first half. At halftime. He Xu could only look at the score on the LCD screen unwillingly, 1-0, and the scorers below the score. Chen Bo.
He Xu felt that he had suddenly returned to not long ago, he was still playing here, and at halftime of every game, the scorers generally had their own names on them, but today the goal here seemed to be a pot lid on himself.
Sitting in the dressing room, Mourinho did not get angry with his players, after all, such an ending in the first half can only be said to be the bad luck of his own team's players. It's not a problem that can be solved by getting angry on your own.
Mourinho said to his players, "Good job, boys! Except that there were no goals, but why didn't they score? I can't blame you for that! I can only say that their luck today is really good! Then, in the second half, we can only continue to fight against their luck......"
These words made the dull atmosphere in the locker room a little relaxed, and a player like He Xu, who played reasonably well in the first half, had already stood up and was ready to play a big game in the second half. But there are still a lot of players sitting there with their faces low, their faces ugly.
This naturally includes C. Ronaldo, who missed a penalty in the first half, and the penalty he missed in the first half was his own judgment and psychological problem, but I don't know if it was because he thought too much. In short, after missing this penalty, C. Ronaldo suddenly felt that his previously injured leg also became uncomfortable, could it be that my old injury has recurred?
The question of where exactly he should shoot the penalty bothered him for a moment. It's just that that problem only bothered him for a few seconds, and now this problem made Cristiano Ronaldo very nervous in the first half just now.
Fortunately, Mourinho quickly solved the problem, saying to his assistant coach: "Tell Jing to warm up, and he will replace Cristiano at the beginning of the second half!" ”
Although Cristiano Ronaldo was a little unhappy with the coach replacing him in midfield, he didn't have the heart to think about it now, he just wondered if he should go to the team doctor to see his leg after the game.
Jing Yu, who continued to warm up on the field, was very excited to learn that he could play in the second half, and his mental state was much better than when he sat on the bench.
Before the start of the second half, He Xu was pulled aside by Mourinho, and he said to He Xu: "He, Cristiano has been left on the field, my purpose in doing this is to let you act as the main point of attack, and the cooperation between Jing Yu and you on the field is also the most skilled, you just need to think about how to score goals to help the team win!" After all, those people are also old acquaintances of yours, so I think you should have a way to deal with them, right? ”
He Xu nodded, he didn't expect Mourinho to trust him so much, just when he was about to express his determination, Mourinho suddenly smiled and said again, "Actually, they are also my old acquaintances......"
He Xu was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything more and twisted his face. C. Ronaldo sat on the sidelines, watching the situation on the field with some nervousness. He is actually conflicted in his heart, he really hopes that his team can win, but he doesn't want He Xu, who has a good relationship with him, to score.
In the midst of this contradictory reflection, the second half of the game has begun.
Duan Xian was surprised to find that the scene he was most looking forward to had appeared, Jing Yu and He Xu appeared together to confront Chen Bo on the opposite side. It's a pity that Chen Bo is now a little exhausted.
When they were on the field, Jing Yu and Chen Bo, teammates who were already familiar with each other in the National Olympic team, also said cruel words to each other.
It's just that what Jing Yu said still has the possibility of being fulfilled, and Chen Bo, whose physical condition has reached the end of the crossbow, can only brag about himself.
Chen Bo stood in the center circle with Hulk, the Brazilian was a little dull in the first half, hardly any excellent play, and he didn't even show his face a few times. Alpha is showing some activity. broke through Real Madrid's wing defense many times, and even provided an assist for Chen Bo.
"We saw that both teams made changes at halftime, with Real Madrid coming on for Cristiano Ronaldo who missed a penalty in the first half, and Inter Milan replacing Stankovic with Cambiasso."
Zhang Lu took Duan Xian's words, "It can be seen that Inter Milan feels that the advantage of a goal is not cool enough!" After this substitution, they should have played the more aggressive '4-2-2-2', with Cambiaso and Thiago. Motta was in the middle of the midfield position, while Alvarez returned to the flank of the midfield that was more capable of making the most of his attacking ability. Alpha echoes left and right. Although this squad does not seem to have a traditional midfielder, it is the most suitable for Inter players in terms of their technical characteristics. ”
For Leonardo's change, Mourinho didn't know whether to be happy or laugh at him. Gave up the middle lane and wanted to play with me on both sides? It's as simple as you think.
In fact, after changing to Jing Yu, Real Madrid's formation has also changed, from the previous "4-5-1" to "4-3-3", because Jing Yu is not like C. Ronaldo, who has a strong body and can be comfortable in the midfield. Jing Yu is just an ordinary winger, and it is too difficult to fight his way out of the world in the midfield with his not outstanding body and not so amazing skills.
For the sake of balance, Di Maria's position was moved forward a bit, to the right winger's position.
Hulk was actually very angry in this game, he is a winger who is good at cutting inside and shooting, so he would like to see more help from the midfielder behind him, rather than a midfielder like Ben. Alpha compresses his space again and again. Coupled with the fact that after conceding a goal, his national team team-mate Marcelo has become cautious and no longer attacks as fearlessly as before, which makes him very uncomfortable.
In particular, Marcelo knows himself very well and can be said to know his roots, so he is very effective in his defense, so that he can't find any opportunities at all.
"We see that Hulk still habitually puts the ball forward, far away! Marcelo was caught in position and passed the ball back to Casillas, and Inter's first attack from the start of the second half came to naught. ”
As one of the world's top left-footed players, Hulk has rarely been confined to such an extent, so he is a little impatient to get rid of his national team team-mate and score a goal. (To be continued......)
