Chang Sheng was applauding Handanovic's wonderful save, but he was also thinking.

He remembers the season when Jose Mourinho's Inter won the treble, and Eto'o was often used as a defensive player. Eto'o can often be seen in the game returning to the corner flag to get involved in defence.

No wonder some joked that Samuel Eto'o used Jose Mourinho as a wing-back.

But in his current day, Eto'o is still a serious centre-forward at Inter Milan, scoring goals is the most important task, and he has not contributed much to the defensive hills.

He was still wondering if this was one of the things that his arrival had changed.

Unexpectedly, it returned to the original trajectory.

Could it be that Samuel Eto'o was the one who discovered Mourinho's defensive potential?

That's really hard to say......

For now, Chang Sheng is not worried much about Eto'o's comeback.

Samuel Eto'o wasn't really good at defending, and he was able to cut off the ball because Modric didn't expect Eto'o to pull back.

This time, Eto'o was tantamount to catching the whole Lazio team off guard.

But next time they won't have such a good chance.

Luka Modric will always pay special attention to his side when he has the ball, and other Lazio players will also take care to protect him. It will be difficult for Eto'o to break the ball again.

Therefore, when Eto'o did not score, Mourinho and Eto'o regretted it so much.

Because they all know how difficult this opportunity is......

※※※

Chang Sheng shouted Modric's name on the pitch.

Modric heard the boss's shout, and he quickly made a gesture to indicate that he heard it and would pay attention.

Chang Sheng then called out the names of David Silva and Gotze.

Both also said they knew what to do.

Although Modric will not let Eto'o snatch the football from his feet again, at the same time, because of Eto'o's harassment, he can no longer calmly deploy quality attacks from behind.

Lazio have to pick up the tempo. Luka Modric is going to get the ball out right away.

To whom?

Give the two midfielders in front of him, then he will cut forward to attract the opponent's fire, and then pass the ball to Gotze and David Silva, who are dropping back.

Make the most of the space between Inter's midfielders and centre-backs.

Lazio is about to start fighting back!

※※※

The game resumes. Inter fans are still reeling from the regret of missing a great opportunity.

Lazio are already planning a counterattack.

Modric was much more concise after taking the ball. Hardly any more frequent observations, just send the football forward. Then he himself ran forward to meet his teammates.

In this way, isn't the distance between him and Sissoko and the others close?

Yes, that's the way it is.

Only when Modric comes up can he attract Sissoko, Cambiaso and Muntari.

In this way, there will be a gap between the back line and the front line that is needed to win constantly.

That's where David Silva and Gotze can get the most out of it.

Really. Seeing Modric pressing forward, Sissoko felt a burst of excitement in his heart - Damn, you coward has finally come up!

He stared at Modric and saw Modric pass in front of the two midfielders, Ledesma and Meireles, and he stepped forward from behind to intercept Modric.

Ledesma gave football to Modric, and even made Inter Milan's midfielders identify Modric as the most important central figure.

As a result, Sissoko and Muntari had not had time to surround Modric, who had already passed the ball again.

He passed to Mereles on the other side.

Mereles didn't pass it back to Modric this time. He knew what he had to do.

He gave the football to David Silva.

※※※

David Silva is not as dazzling as he was before his injury, and his role and threat up front are not as high as Gotze's.

But this is judged by the standards of the striker.

David Silva is not a standard winger right now.

He's more akin to a frontcourt libero.

Do you want to say that he has any specific tasks?

No.

Chang Sheng never gave David Silva specific tasks, just let him watch on the court.

That's the offensive routine anyway. David Silva, who is familiar with these routines, is experienced, and he naturally knows what to do in what situations.

Routines, some people hate him deeply, thinking that it is boring and dull.

But that's just that they don't know how to use routines.

Chang Sheng is now trying to do one thing, which has to do with new tactics.

That is to let the team practice a variety of offensive routines in training, and when they are familiar with all the routines, let them gradually play freely on the court.

The so-called free play is actually based on routines.

If you're not familiar with the routines, don't talk about any free play.

※※※

After David Silva got the ball, he was given a relatively loose space.

That's because Modric pressed all the way up front, forcing Inter's back three to focus on him.

"David Silva! He doesn't have a defender around him! What's going on?! ”

Inter's defenders have also taken note of the situation.

David Silva gets the ball, but the Inter defenders are still about ten metres away from him.

And Inter's midfielder is five or six meters behind him.

And in a state of turning, the speed can't be raised.

Lucio saw David Silva make a long-range stance, and reflexively rushed up.

It's too dangerous to have David Silva in this position to get the ball!

Anyway, his partner Samuel is keeping an eye on Cavani, and he has no defensive tasks around him for the time being, so he should step forward to fill in at this time.

He rushed on the first hand, but David Silva didn't shoot, it was just a feint, and he sent the ball to the empty spot after Lucio came up.

Cavani wasn't in that direction, and Lucio was reassured.

Just when he looked back. Only to find that there was a sky blue figure that appeared there!

"Mariogertze!"

※※※

When David Silva got the ball, Inter's defensive attention was on him, and Gotze was unguarded for the time being, but he didn't rush forward immediately.

If he runs forward right away. It is clear that he wants to cooperate with David Silva. That would redraw Inter's defensive attention to themselves.

Why should he bother?

He's just trying to keep his opponent out of sight......

So he waited.

And David Silva didn't pass the ball to him right away, he rushed forward with the ball. made a posture of wanting to shoot from a distance, and this time it made everyone only have him in their eyes for the time being.

Forcing Lucio to rush out.

At the same time, Gotze suddenly activated, cutting forward at high speed. Straight to the void left by Lucio.

David Silva also turned the shot into a pass, and with a cross of his right foot, he pushed the ball over.

The timing of the pass was just right.

Gotze received the ball and went straight into the box!

Facing the attacking goalkeeper Cesar, Gotze made a curling shot!

The ball went around Cesar's hand from the side and flew into the goal from the far end!

※※※

"Beautiful! Lazio equalised! ”

"Mariogertze! Super Mario!! ”

“l！！！ Gotze! Gotze! A brilliant teamwork for Lazio! From the launch of the attack to the final goal, Inter Milan did not even touch the shadow of football! ”

Constant wins on the sidelines see the ball fly into the goal. Clenched his fists and pounded hard.

Perfect!

That's his tactical manifestation!

As a coach, it is still very rewarding to see the tactical coordination that exists in my mind finally being played by the players on the field.

This sense of accomplishment is much better than playing FM games......

※※※

"!" Jose Mourinho saw that the big Gotze seized the space behind Lucio's forward press and scored the ball. His frustration was palpable.

He turned around and looked up at the stands and began to chatter.

But no one could hear what he was saying.

He can't complain about Lucio for this ball yet, because it wasn't Lucio's mistake.

If Lucio doesn't go up to fill in the position, who knows what David Silva will do.

Although David Silva has not scored so far this season. But what if he breaks the goal drought in this game?

No one dares to bet on this kind of thing.

Whoever gets the ball is the most dangerous player, and that's always the top priority in defence.

Samuel was keeping an eye on Cavani, and only Lucio could press on that area of the goal.

How did you concede the ball this time......

It was entirely because the three midfielders in the midfield let Lazio pull out, causing a gap in front of the backline, which gave David Silva a chance to take advantage of!

To say that there is a problem, he should first scold himself.

I didn't even want to play Lazio, and the tactics of the second half were like this!

One ring after another.

Double midfield, back in front, the attacking core retreated, attracting the attention of the three backs, and the two wingers retreated to respond, and finally from Lazio's backfield to Inter Milan's goal, they opened up a highway!

That's how they used the highway to send the ball into the Inter goal.

Now Chang Sheng has a problem for himself.

The three midfielders drop back to control the area in front of the back line. But it would lose control of Lazio's midfield.

If the current high-pressure situation is maintained, it will lead to increased pressure on the back line.

In fact, there is another way, that is, the back line follows the overall forward pressure of the back waist to create offside in defense.

But...... Offside is not so easy to build, there must be special targeted training, and it must be arranged in advance.

There has never been a sudden adjustment to the offside tactics in the game, and such a hasty offside will only make the backline continue to give big gifts to the opposing striker.

ps, this is today's eighth update, and there will be a single chapter later.

Thank you!
