Chapter 118: One More Thing
With Alvarez on the pitch, Zanetti stepped onto the right wing-back, a veteran captain who could adapt to multiple positions and was a model for the modern footballer. While having strong adaptability, he also has the physical strength to run, and is the most perfect captain in the minds of countless coaches.
At this time, Inter Milan's line-up became a "4-4-2" in parallel positions, with goalkeeper Julio Cesar, two central defenders Lucio and Samuel, right wing-back Zanetti, and Japanese Yuto Nagatomo on the left. In midfield, Thiago Motaga Cambiasso was present, with Alvarez and Sneijder appearing behind Pazzini and He Xu.
When He Xu scored a brace, his performance had conquered the fanatical Nerazuri to a certain extent. Inter fans shouted "Down with Fiorentina" on the sidelines and shouted at He Xu "One more!" One more! One more! ”
In their opinion, He Xu is not just a striker of the team, they regard He Xu as the best weapon against their sworn rival AC Milan. The better He Xu played, the more it seemed that Milan's decision-making was stupid.
He Xu didn't have the heart to think about what other people thought, what he wanted to do now was to score goals. In fact, for He Xu, the declining Serie A can only be regarded as a springboard, his final destination. It's either La Liga with a technical stream, or the Premier League. Bayern's dominant Bundesliga is not very popular with He Xu, it's okay to watch the game, let me go there to play? I don't want to play in Bayern's back garden.
Fiorentina were cautious after the kick-off, and although they were more expecting to score, the goal was to close the gap, so defending well was the most important thing. They passed the ball in the backfield, and they were on guard against He Xu's surprise attack again.
This time, He Xu didn't grab the ball, but just ran to the penalty area to settle down. He Xu's position is higher than Pazzini's, and in Benitez's eyes, Pazzini's ability to respond may be better than He Xu's. Therefore, he chose to throw He Xu, who had a stronger impact, in front, and Pazzini, who passed the ball a little better, in the back.
Fiorentina's passing at the back is not killing Inter's time, but their own time, and Benitez is even more happy to see them wear themselves out in the pass after pass. The Purple Lily's players seemed to be aware of the problem, and they finally couldn't hold it anymore and passed the ball forward, trying to find an opportunity.
Cambiaso's attacking ability is average, but his defensive ability is enough to occupy a starting spot at Inter Milan.
He put an end to the Purple Lily's attack on several occasions as it was at Inter's home stadium, and the fans in front of him cheered loudly for the home team to continue to score. Sneijder and Alvarez, one is good at passing, the other is more adept at breaking. Under the onslaught, Fiorentina's backline was already struggling.
If it weren't for the tacit understanding between Pazzini and He Xu, Pazzini, who had a good pass, might have been able to give He Xu a few wonderful assists.
With ten minutes remaining, Biabiani replaced Pazzini. Pazzini, who has played for Milan at the same time, hugged He Xu before getting off the field, "Come on, boy, one more one!" ”
He Xu patted him on the back, "Since everyone is looking forward to it so much, I will work hard!" Ha ha. ”
The relaxed expressions of the two people and the uncontrolled volume naturally caused dissatisfaction among the Fiorentina players, plus He Xu can speak multiple languages, and Italian is very round. A few words were clearly heard by the arrogant Purple Lily player.
They don't need to communicate, just look at each other to understand what they mean each other, this game, no matter what, can't let this kid score again.
After Pandev came on the pitch, he was on the same line as Sneijder and Alvarez. Three midfielders passed the ball to He Xu, which allowed He Xu to continue to get opportunities, but also faced a lot of defensive pressure. Fiorentina's players also seem to have their eyes on this Chinese kid who just said a big thing, knocking him down again and again in the siege.
Benitez was worried that this guy who was not yet an adult had fallen into the trap of his opponent and made some irrational move. However, to his surprise, He Xu's performance was very mature, he neither put pressure on the referee, nor did he have too much contact with the opponent. But if you take a closer look at He Xu's eyes, and then look at the animal world, you can find that He Xu's eyes are very much like snakes ready to choose people to eat.
At this time, it seems that it should be regarded as a period of temptation, and then wait for the opportunity to move, and kill with one blow.
As the minutes ticked by, there was less and less time left for Florence. And their forward line is really difficult to pose any threat to Inter, so in the attrition of the other, the Fiorentina players seem to have slowly changed their thinking, from equalizing to not allowing that damn Chinese to score......
The Meazza fans were still unrelentingly shouting, "One more!" One more! One more! ”
Benitez believes in He Xu's physical strength, and at the same time seems to expect He Xu to fulfill the wishes of the fans, so he has not been replaced.
The fourth official held up a sign and gave four minutes of stoppage time. The fans didn't seem to have been worn away by time, and they still shouted, "One more!" One more! One more! ”
Sneijder looked at the number nine shaking in front of his eyes with some incomprehension, the owner of this dress was also his closest companion last season, but the fast black man had never given the young man in front of him a feeling. It's a feeling that I can't explain, but it's very comfortable. Of course, this is by no means because He Xu is more handsome.
He rubbed the ball under his feet, and the football fell over everyone's heads to He Xu, He Xu's physical strength is indeed very good, and he can still run around the whole court now.
He had retreated from inside the box to the outside of the box and received the ball at the top of the arc. Many defenders feel that as long as they can keep the opposing offensive player from turning, they can cut his threat in half. Therefore, Fiorentina's central defender tightly stuck He Xu from behind, he thought that he had done a good job and could achieve the purpose of making He Xu unhappy, but it was a pity. Because He Xu didn't plan to turn around at all.
When the ball fell, He Xu's chest thrust forward and stopped the ball, and in the process of the ball falling, he stretched out his right foot without resistance at all, and easily hooked the ball behind him.
He Xu looked back at Purple Lily's goal with the corner of his eye, "Since the fans are looking forward to it so much, let's have another one!" This time, number 2! ”
