Chapter 64: That's Pretty Much! (Guaranteed second update)

"Because that's the kind of guy I am, Robert."

After Chang Sheng finished speaking to Di Matteo, he got up and walked to the sideline.

He was chanting Modric's name.

"Luca! Luca! ”

Luka Modric heard the roar of Chang Sheng, and turned his head to look at Chang Sheng on the sidelines.

Then he saw Chang Sheng make a gesture.

He understood the meaning of the gesture.

The boss signaled that the side passage could be opened.

Like it was said at halftime.

First, the attack in the middle is strong, and once the attack in the middle allows Inter Milan to put the focus of their defense in the middle, they can consider moving to the wings.

Now that Lazio have scored a goal in the middle, Inter Milan have completely shifted their defensive focus to the middle.

This can be seen in the last two minutes of the game.

Modric knows what to do.

※※※

After Chang Sheng arranged Modric, he turned to assistant coach Rudy and shouted: "Rudy, let Giroud come back from the warm-up area!" ”

Rudy Gonzalez was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what Tsuneki was going to do.

He's going to play simple and rough!

So he ran to the warm-up area.

Di Matteo has another question: "You want to replace Cavani? In this way, our offensive routine is too simple, and it is easy to be limited by the opponent......"

Chang Sheng smiled: "No, I won't change Cavani." ”

'Then you let Giroud play......

"Who said that the last center was going to replace the next center, Robert?"

As he spoke, Giroud had already run back, and he was still gasping a little, and it was obvious that he had rushed back.

For being able to come off the bench. He's looking forward to it.

Chang Sheng looked at him with an excited look of anticipation, and said to him, "Are you too tired from warming up?" Olivier? Look at your panting...... Calm me down, I'll let you go up to be the ultimate, not to experience the competition. Hold your horses. ”

Giroud immediately shut his mouth. The expression is serious. The breathing was also even.

Chang Sheng nodded: "Very good." You go up and play as a center forward, at the front. It's the position you do best, and then do what you do best. Chang Sheng pointed his fingers.

Giroud understands what that means.

Header!

He is 1.94 meters tall, and he is really good at doing this.

※※※

After Giroud explained, Chang Sheng whistled on the pitch.

Ledesma, who was holding the ball, heard the whistle. Turn around and kick the ball right out of the sideline. Of course, the place where the football goes out of bounds is not far from Inter Milan's bottom line.

This is one of Lazio's small tactics, and it is required to win constantly.

When Chang Sheng had to make a substitution, he didn't have the patience to wait for the ball to die naturally.

That might make Lazio unrelenting for a few minutes. In Chang Sheng's view, the situation in football is changing rapidly, and a few minutes of inaction may miss an opportunity to decide the outcome of the game.

So he told his players. If in a game, his team needs to make a substitution, unless the opportunity is good, just kick the football off the sideline. Let him be replaced. Especially near the end of the game.

The signal is his whistle.

It's close to the end of the game and Ledesma doesn't think he had a good chance to score when he got the ball.

※※※

When Careza saw Giroud standing on the sidelines, bouncing around and moving his body, he wondered: "Do you always have to replace Cavani? However, although Cavani did not score, he did a good job in the attacking fulcrum of the front...... What's the point of replacing Cavani with Olivier Giroud? Attacking in the middle, Giroud is of little use other than making a wall for his team-mates. But Cavani has done the job......"

The commentator of China Central Television will not question Chang Sheng, but try to follow Chang Sheng's idea and say: "Maybe Chang Sheng wants to let the center go deeper and go to the small penalty area to do the wall cooperation?" In that case, Giroud would be a better fit than Cavani......

But when the fourth official held up the sign, everyone realized that they had guessed wrong.

It's not Cavani who wins the game, it's Motta!

A centre-forward replaced a midfielder, and this is definitely not a counter-substitution!

"Upper double center...... What is often this? "This time, even Caressa couldn't see through it.

The CCTV commentator only said one word: "Uh......"

※※※

The television broadcast gave Chang Sheng a close-up, and it seemed to express their doubts.

Olivier Giroud and Edinson Cavani are both centre-forwards, and they are not 'centre-forwards' in the broad sense of the word – any player who shows up in the box to score is called a centre-forward.

This type of center forward is a "center forward" in the narrow sense, a center forward who can stand in front of goal, rely on his body and technique to make the ball for his teammates, and can also shoot and score on his own.

Although Giroud also has foot skills, but he relies more on his body, he is 1.94 meters tall and weighs 88 kilograms, such a body is not comparable to Cavani, who is 1.84 meters tall and weighs 71 kilograms.

What is the use of a center forward with overlapping roles in both positions on the pitch at the same time?

In the close-up, Tsunemi has returned to the dugout and is seated in his place.

He also picked up a bottle of water, unscrewed the lid, took a sip, and then kept it in his hand, pinching it crackling.

Mourinho didn't really want a draw, he had to win.

Then the reason why he still let the team stick to it is very simple, it is nothing more than to drag it out until there is little time left, and Lazio is starting to be impatient.

That's when Inter's chance.

And all I have to do is not let him succeed.

As long as Lazio takes the lead, Mourinho's wishful thinking will naturally fail.

In fact, this time is a game against time, whether it is Lazio or Inter Milan, the opponent is time.

Lazio had to score first with little time left before the end of the game.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, were to keep Lazio unable to score until then.

Chang Sheng raised his head and looked at the big screen at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, which showed the score and time.

In the 73rd minute, Lazio drew 1:1 with Inter Milan.

When is the time for Inter Milan to be victorious? There's no point in knowing that. Anyway, Lazio just need to score as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

So he was on a Giroud.

Isn't it very simple to match the wing tactics with a high striker?

※※※

'Cazorla picked up the ball on the flanks and he faced McConn's defence. McCone was about three meters in front of him. Stuck in Cazorla's path to break in...... "Caresa told the crowd about the current situation on the pitch.

Everyone, including McConn, thought Cazorla would either break through or pass to Modric, who came up to pick it up. Then he used a cross back pass to tear through Inter's defence, and finally passed straight into the penalty area.

But unexpectedly, Cazorla did not break through on his own, nor did he make a short pass to Modric, who came up to pick him up. Or something else.

He crosses with a straight kick!

Cross from a 45-degree angle!

The football flew from the air to the penalty area!

The commentators, fans, and reporters all looked at the soccer ball in amazement and couldn't say a word.

If their memory wasn't in a collective problem, this high ball cross would have been the first of its kind in the game!

"Olivier Giroud!!" Caressa's exclamation was like a thunderclap, exploding over the Stadio Olimpic!

I saw that Giroud had already jumped high in the air, and there was not a single Inter Milan player beside him!

Because no one would have thought that Lazio would actually go the air route!

Giroud is in such a situation that he has put up with the football!

※※※

When Giroud pushed the ball towards goal, the Inter fans in the stands and in front of the TV were in despair.

The high striker made him jump up near the penalty spot and head the ball into the goal. And there is no one to defend ...... What's that concept?

The football flew to the goal of Inter Milan!

Just when everyone was desperate, Inter Milan's Brazilian goalkeeper Giulio Cesar stepped up and jumped into the air and almost stretched out his right hand.

Smack. The ball hit his palm, then bounced off, went over the crossbar and flew off the baseline......

Everyone was stupefied.

It took about two seconds for someone to react.

"Ahhhh World-class saves! Giulio Cesar! He saved Inter!! ”

Caresa leaned out, holding the headphones in one hand and the microphone in the other, screaming as hard as she could.

At the same time, a loud burst of air came out from the stands of the Olympic Stadium.

It was a sign of regret from Lazio fans after seeing the football not score.

※※※

"Beautiful! If it weren't for Cesar, Inter would have gone to hell at this time! ”

"Amazing save! San Giulio!! ”

Commentators everywhere were praising Cesar in their own way.

Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, looked like he was in a state of collapse for the rest of his life.

Just as Giroud leaped high and headed the ball towards goal, he really thought he was dead......

But in less than a second, Cesar saved his heart.

After congratulating himself and his team that were still alive, he turned his head to look at Chang Sheng next door.

On the contrary, Chang Sheng held his head in his hands and bent his body, looking very annoyed.

Yes, he had reason to be so upset.

Because just now he almost did the best in the team.

It's just the last little bit......

Mourinho thought so in his heart.

Even if it were me, I would do it.

But unfortunately, since you're just a little bit close, then I won't give you another chance!

I've seen through your plan.

It's nothing more than using a cross from the side to let high school striker Olivier Giroud fight for the header......

Now on the pitch, Inter Milan's main centre-back duo of Córdoba and Samuel are not very tall, so it is understandable to let Giroud head the ball.

But there's Materazzi on my bench!
