Chapter 59: The Prototype of Wall Defense (First Update)
Jose Mourinho did not play against Lazio on the road.
Despite the media wanting him to do so, he stuck to his guns and sent three midfielders up for this game. And did not start Ibrahimovic.
This is all unexpected by many people, even the winning ones.
The back three often wanted to win, but did not let Ibrahimovic play...... I really didn't expect Chang Sheng.
What he does know is that it was during Jose Mourinho's time at Inter Milan that Ibrahimovic was officially promoted to the top of the game, and within Mourinho's team he had many privileges that helped him score 25 goals in one season and become the league's Golden Boot.
It also has something to do with his self-aggrandizement in the future and running to Barcelona.
But in any case, Ibrahimovic is Mourinho's favorite general.
Jose Mourinho put him on the bench......
Isn't the relationship between these two as good as they know?
But Chang Sheng has to admit that Mourinho was right not to let Ibrahimovic play.
If Ibrahimovic plays, he will be limited to death by Jose Passarella.
In this way, it is equivalent to Inter Milan consuming an attacking place for nothing.
went to the center, but it didn't work, so isn't Inter Milan playing 11 with 10?
So simply don't go to Ibrahimovic, who will definitely be stared at and frozen, but go to a Cruise who looks ordinary.
Compared to Ibrahimovic, Cruise is simply starless.
But that's exactly what Mourinho needs.

Twenty-five minutes into the game, Lazio were on the offensive but could not find the back of the net against Inter.
Commentator Careza also thinks it's 25 minutes, and although Lazio's attack is as sharp as ever, Inter's defense is clearly better.
"I think. I often really meet opponents! ”
As he said this, the television broadcast gave Mourinho a close-up.
Mourinho is shown on the sidelines, looking at everything that is happening inside the stadium with a serious face.
His team was suffering from wave after wave of Lazio attacks, but he didn't show any agitation.
※※※
Chang Sheng turned his head to look at Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines like himself.
He thought of Jose Mourinho's games at Real Madrid.
Pep Guardiola's Dream Three is very strong, who is the only one who can suppress them?
It's Jose Mourinho.
Even earlier, when the world was not always winning, who could make Rijkaard's Dream II team deflated?
It's Jose Mourinho.
When he was at Chelsea, Jose Mourinho once said: "Barcelona can never win against us in a situation of eleven against eleven." ”
At Inter Milan. Jose Mourinho's side knocked out the Dream Three in the semi-finals of the Champions League to reach the Champions League final at the Bernabeu, where they won the trophy for the first time in their career.
In Real Madrid, from the very beginning of 0:5. and finally put an end to the monopoly of the Dream Three teams in La Liga. Jose Mourinho has a great deal to do in it. In the past, when Real Madrid played Barcelona, everyone, including the players, always seemed to lack confidence, although the slogans on their mouths were shouted louder than the other, but it was difficult to hide the weakness in their hearts.
It was Jose Mourinho who freed Real Madrid from Barcelonaphobia, and it was he who made Real Madrid fans feel at ease watching the national derby.
Having said all this, I just want to illustrate. Dealing with his own set of tactics similar to Barcelona, the man in front of him has a set......
Tough defence and super mental will, coupled with sharp counter-attacks, this is Mourinho's magic weapon.
The most representative is Mourinho's Inter Milan's elimination of Barcelona at the Camp Nou. In the case of one less person early on. Inter Milan contracted their defense, gave up possession, and conceded Kong Jiaen, who was outside the 30-meter area, to Barcelona, and finally defended a 0:1. Barcelona scored only one goal and eventually eliminated Barcelona with an aggregate score of 3:2.
That game was simply typical of stopping a bus in front of the goal to defend.
Right now. Chang Sheng has already seen the rudiments of this tactic.
The game in front of me is similar to the game in Chang Sheng's memory.
Of course, Inter Milan is not so extreme, they still have attack, that is, defensive counter-attack.
In this game, Mourinho played a defensive counterattack.
Defend solidly, then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
If there is no good chance of counterattacking, it is better to continue to defend it.
In short, everything is about not conceding a goal.
As long as you don't concede a goal, this game will still have to be played.
If you concede the ball...... It's hard.
Although Mourinho's Inter Milan is much more willpower than Mancini's Inter, Lazio is a different opponent.
Being scored first by a team like Lazio is going to be difficult for any team.
Even Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan is no exception.
And he has been in charge of this team for less than half a season, and Mourinho does not believe in his team very much.
Even so, Inter Milan's tough defensive counterattack still gave Lazio a headache.
They can't press it all in.
Because they could be counter-attacked by Inter.
Ibrahimovic didn't play, and Inter Milan's attack was much faster.
So Lazio didn't dare to press all over the board easily.
But if you don't press it, you can't put more pressure on Inter.
This Inter Milan team will be difficult to get rid of them if they don't put enough pressure on them.
So Lazio began to try to press.
They didn't score, giving Inter a great chance!
In the thirtieth minute, when Lazio was attacking, there was a passing error.
When Modric was transporting the football forward, Inter Milan's central defender Samuel guessed the intention of passing, moved up in advance, and grabbed the football.
Inter then launched a successful quick counter-attack.
In the end, it was McCone who completed a world-class shot from the edge of the penalty area.
The football blasted through Handanovic's guarded door!
McConn!! World Wave - !! Narrator Caresa was stunned for a moment. Then he yelled.
When McCone got up, he was still complaining that McCone's shot was too reckless and that he should have passed the ball to Cruise in the box.
But now, he's cheering for McConn.
"Nice long shot! What a bold gamble! He did it, he succeeded! ”
After the goal, the Brazilian ran with his arms outstretched.
And his teammates also seemed excited.
It seems like it was a remarkable thing to be able to take the lead at Lazio's home turf......
Of course, for them, who have always been the underdogs in the clash with Lazio, it is a good idea to be able to lead Lazio in the game.
Especially in the context of the change of manager and the resurgence of league results, this lead seems to be more symbolic......
This seems to be ...... A precursor to the collapse of an old pattern.
Does this mean that Inter Milan will completely rewrite and reverse their embarrassing situation of not being able to win against a winning Lazio?
It was a lead that excited the Inter players. It also excites the fans of Inter Milan.
There was a huge cheer from the stands, even briefly overpowering the voices of the Lazio fans.
The ecstatic Inter Milan players and the somewhat gloomy Lazio players were in stark contrast.
The language of the footage of the TV broadcast is also interesting.
Deliberately selected some shots of players from both sides in one frame to show this contrast in front of the audience in the most intuitive situation.
So it is easy for fans watching the game to come to the conclusion that now Inter Milan has the upper hand, and Lazio seems to be collapsing!
This is also because Lazio is a public enemy of Italy, so they can enjoy such treatment.
Otherwise. It is impossible for a professional TV broadcaster not to know that now in addition to the goal, other statistics are dominated by Lazio, and it is an all-round advantage.
Judging by these numbers, it is Lazio who has the upper hand, not Inter Milan.
But football is such a wonderful thing.
It is impossible to derive a correct answer from the statistics.
It is impossible to say that a team with a high percentage of possession deserves to win, nor can it be said that a team with fewer shots deserves to lose.
There are a lot of chances and coincidences in football games.
These things are one of the charms of football.
So. Even if they dominate the game, Lazio could lose at home to Inter Milan.
And it's fair, no one can make irresponsible claims.
That's football.
※※※
Chang Sheng slowly squatted down.
He began to think very seriously.
Mourinho's defence has given him a problem.
Now they're one goal ahead and they're going to defend to the extreme. More extreme.
Perhaps, he will give birth to Mourinho's bus tactics?
What if Mourinho does park a bus in front of goal by then?
Chang Sheng frowned and pulled a piece of grass from the grass. Stuff it in your mouth and chew it.
At that time, the Dream Three team was in full swing in the face of Inter Milan's defensive tactics, and there was nothing they could do, what about themselves?
Now I want to get the surprise of the scene from other people. It doesn't seem to work anymore......
Now, he's on his own.
How to break the dense defense, he knows, but how to break the wall defense?
That's an interesting question.
Changsheng's brain is running at a fast pace, like a high-speed hard drive.
He remembers in his mind what he knew about this Inter Milan team.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles must first understand the opponent.
Then let's see what weapons I have on my side......
Under Jose Mourinho, Inter Milan are a team that plays both offensive and defensive.
In fact, Mourinho's team is not conservative, the so-called conservative is just a label put on him by the media.
They are capable of playing beautiful attacks, as evidenced by Inter Milan's 3-1 home win over Barcelona in the first leg of the 2009-2010 Champions League semi-finals.
But when they are determined to defend it, it will be difficult to break their goal.
And what about your own side? Gotze and the rest of the group's individual breakaways have been limited by the opposition's wall defense.
Faced with a wall, the ability of the individual seems somewhat insignificant.
Generally speaking, a long-range shot would be a good idea.
However, Chang Sheng did not use the long-range shooting skill in this game, so the effect of long-range shooting should be reduced.
It can be used, but you can't expect a long-range shot to be a decisive weapon in turning the game around.
Chang Sheng thought about it and decided to start with what his team was best at.
There is a wall that can't be crossed, what should I do?
Build a ladder and cross it!
How easy!
