After Gao Jun returned to the national team, he also continued his excellent form in the club competition, and he scored a hat-trick again to help the national football team defeat visiting arch-rival Iran 4-2 at home to reach the finals of the 2010 World Cup two rounds ahead of schedule. So far, the Chinese national team has defeated the former bitter master three times in this top 10 match, and both the process and the score show that the strength of the two sides is not on the same level, which shocked the entire Asian football world. In a certain way, it was in this top ten that the national football team fully established their position as the hegemon of Asia
The national team advanced early, allowing Gao Jun to negotiate with the new Football Association to forgo the next two inconsequential games, so as to devote more energy to the club's games. However, it is difficult to find an opponent in Italy now, and the Serie A championship has been obtained in advance, so Gao Jun's goal now is actually only the Champions League championship, as long as he can win this honor, he can become the undisputed number one in the world!
After reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Inter Milan finally ushered in a more weighty opponent, that is, Arsenal, whose tactical play is unique in the Premier League. Due to the butterfly effect caused by the crossing of the high army, the current Arsenal team is even stronger than the same period in history, and Colgne, who has fully matured in terms of skills, body and mind, is now the best midfielder in France, and he is even more comprehensive than Zinedine Zidane back then.
With Corgne replacing the soft-hearted Cesc Fabregas as the on-field leader of the Arsenal team, Arsenal's record in the past two years has been significantly better, and with the replacement of Thierry Henry's Xie Wenjun maturing, this season's Arsenal team is only one step away from the world's top team. And Arsenal have several former teammates in the Arsenal squad. They are very familiar with the characteristics of Gao Jun, which cannot be ignored either, so many media believe that Gao Jun, who is invincible this season, will not be able to suffer from this opponent from the Premier League. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Inter Milan has a home and away schedule, which is relatively a loss
Even the "madman" Mourinho was extremely cautious before this game, and he even gave up the temptation to continue to break the Serie A winning streak. There was a strategic abandonment of the Serie A game two days before the Champions League game, leaving only the three most important players to move up after 70 minutes of the second half. As a result, Inter Milan were held to a 1-1 draw away from home by Udinese, and the terrifying record of 28 consecutive wins came to an abrupt end. And since Mourinho has paid such a price, he is naturally determined to win the Champions League promotion!
Huang Jianxiang, who has not been back to CCTV for too long, was fortunate to get the opportunity to host and explain the game, and at the beginning of the show, he asked a very interesting question to the guest Zhang Lu, "Director Zhang, there are our players on both sides of this game, which side do you support?" ”
Zhang Lu immediately replied without thinking, "I think." It's still Arsenal, if it's just Gao Jun alone, it doesn't mean that Chinese football has really risen, so I prefer to see other Chinese players grow up fully, hehe. ”
At this time, Gao Jun, who was preparing to enter the field, did not know that he had lost support from China for the first time, but no matter who the opponent was, he would definitely not release the water. However, Arsenal's unique style of play made Inter Milan very uncomfortable after the opening, and they were almost invincible in recent months, and they were quickly pressed by the anti-visiting Arsenal team after the opening. This couldn't help but give some of the home fans in the stands a worried look on their faces
However, Mourinho has always been a staunch supporter of the "uselessness of possession", and he does not care much about passivity on the field. In fact, even during the 28-game winning streak, Inter Milan have had a number of games where they have lost possession of the ball, and the real scary thing about this team is not the control of the game, but the unrivalled strength of the two penalty areas
'Mourinho's attacking pairing today was Gao Jun and Samuel Eto'o, both of whom were extremely fast players, obviously even on their home turf. Jose Mourinho is still hoping to play Arsenal's counter-attack. With the speed and ability of these two strikers to take chances, it only takes a few scoring chances to create a chance to win the game, as they did in Serie A, and Arsenal have always been good at attacking football. It should be right for Mourinho's appetite. Huang Jianxiang analyzed the starting list of Inter Milan.
"Inter Milan's attacking efficiency is really terrible now, Gao Jun is probably the most powerful penalty killer in the history of world football, and next to him, there is the world's top fast horse Eto'o to help him share the pressure, and behind him, Sneijder, an excellent forward player to provide passing support, the offensive opportunities created in the game are generally not too few, even in those games where possession is lost. Although the Arsenal team is known for its attack, it is still much worse than the current Inter Milan in terms of the configuration of front-court players. "And Inter Milan is not only highly efficient, their defensive ability is also the world's top, and there is not much doubt about it even being called the world's No. 1, after all, Mourinho is one of the best defensive coaches in the world, and Inter Milan's backline this season is indeed outstanding, take Serie A as an example, 30 games have only conceded a total of 23 goals, and the average number of goals conceded per game is less than 0.8, which is definitely solid."
"Yes, so the biggest attraction of this game is the collision between Arsenal's midfield passing and Inter Milan's toughness and efficiency at both ends. I think everyone must be looking forward to it as much as I do", just in the expectation of Huang Jianxiang's face, the whistle finally began in this game with a broadcast rating of more than 100 million people
At the beginning of the game, Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho's expression was very relaxed, but as one of the best football managers in the world, he soon found that something was not good on the field, which made his brow gradually wrinkle, and he began to think about how he should make a move
Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger knows that the current Inter Milan is extremely strong, his team pays attention to the offensive but does not have the terrifying dominance of Barcelona, and even because of the pursuit of speed and easy to make mistakes to give the opponent more opportunities to counterattack, in fact, he is quite afraid of the tough and efficient Muhammad style of play. But fortunately, now the Arsenal team has a rare team of three players who are both offensive and defensive and can be qualified for the back position, so Wenger unexpectedly put out a very defensive 451 formation in this game, there is no forward midfielder in this formation, but three back players, Wenger's purpose is obviously to make up for the Arsenal team's back line, especially the slight lack of central defender strength (in fact, it is not all about the ability of the defender, mainly Arsenal's style of play often has to be defenders, Especially the central defenders carry the black pot. ). And once the opportunity arises, the three players of Corne, Cesc Fabregas and Yu Hai are all capable of passing lethal balls, and even cutting forward to create lethal opportunities that can tear apart the Inter Milan backline. Overall, it's a conservative strategy, but this is Inter's home game, so even if it ends up being a draw, Arsene Wenger is perfectly acceptable.
But obviously, Mourinho was completely unacceptable to the draw in this game, and he was expecting Inter Milan to tear apart the Arsenal defense step by step, but after nearly 10 minutes of play, Inter Milan did not even have a chance to attack the danger zone of the front 30 meters, and Mourinho naturally found the problem.
In this game, Mourinho discharged a diamond-shaped 442 formation, which was almost killed by Gao Jun at the beginning, and was later improved by Mourinho, and the full-backs were actively supplemented by the full-backs to fully release the power of the two full-backs to assist forward, coupled with the addition of Sneijder, a forward player who likes to pass, making this formation more useful than the defensive 433 that was a temporary emergency. But today, in the face of the Arsenal team's three back 451, Inter Milan's formation has put the team's organizational core Sneijder into a one-to-three disadvantageous situation, his ability to get rid of it is not particularly strong, and after being surrounded by three defenders whose defensive ability is not at least not weak, he suddenly didn't want to use any ability. Although the two fullbacks of the Inter Milan team have no worries about attacking, the defense of the Arsenal team on the side is still relatively strong, and Wenger knows that the attack threat of Inter Milan's full-backs is not big, so he let his wingers focus on Inter's two fullbacks who have strong forward assist ability, and immediately blocked more than ninety percent of Inter Milan's offensive ability.
Mourinho still knows more about the characteristics of the two absolute main forces of the Arsenal team, Corgne and Cesc Fabregas, but he has somewhat ignored Yu Hai, who is only used as an "all-round patch" in the Arsenal team, and did not expect that this Chinese boy, who could not play the main force in the Arsenal team, could make a qualitative change in the midfield of the Arsenal team, although strictly speaking, this cannot be fully attributed to Yu Hai himself, and the pressure on Sneijder when he was 1-2 and 1-3 was not of the same level
Mourinho quickly made amends after realising his mistake, and in his opinion, Arsene Wenger's Chice worked well, but it was not difficult to crack (to be continued......
