When Dick and Mourinho met in the tunnel, both sides were stunned for a moment.
Although the two teams enter the stadium at about the same time, the chance of the two coaches meeting in the tunnel is not very high, because the head coach can appear in the coaching bench half an hour before the start of the game. Yes, some head coaches are used to waiting in the locker room until the game is about to start before coming out, and some head coaches are used to coming out earlier. Moreover, the intersection of the player channels is only such a short distance away, so the probability of encountering them is not Extremely big.
At this time, Dick and Mourinho happened to meet at the intersection
"What a coincidence, Mr. Mourinho" Dick raised his hand to greet Mourinho, and Mourinho also laughed: "What a coincidence, Mr. Dick."
After two sentences, both sides fell into silence at the same time - in the current battle, although these two are very eloquent head coaches, they could not find anything to say at this time. After a few seconds of silence, both sides discovered at the same time Knowing that it was not a good idea to remain silent like this, Mourinho stretched out his hand and gestured for Dick to go first. Dick nodded and walked to the exit unceremoniously, while Mourinho He followed silently.
"Oh, Dick and Mourinho walked out of the tunnel one after another. Judging from the time, they met in the tunnel I wonder what kind of sparks this meeting will create? The two sides were at loggerheads. Or is there a real-person PK in the player tunnel? This is something that people are looking forward to seeing But they look very neat, and it doesn't look like a real-person PK. Next, it's Let¡¯s see what kind of sparks their players will create on the court!¡±
Amidst the ridicule of the not-so-serious commentator, the two head coaches returned to their positions, and the fans in the stands began to cheer, waiting for the players from both sides to appear.
In this game, Mourinho sent out a 4132 formation, with Petr Cech as the goalkeeper. At the right back position, he sent Lars Diarra, a French player who was originally a defender. However, because of his comprehensive characteristics and Chelsea's numerous injuries this season, he is more often placed in the right back position - playing right back with his left foot is a rare example ¡
The left back Ashley Cole and the center back are the partners of Terry and Carvalho. In the midfield position, Makelele serves as the midfielder. Essien, Lampard and Ballack form a strong midfielder and striker. The partners are Adriano and Drogba - Shevchenko sat on the bench. Shevchenko's condition has not been good since the beginning of this season, and there seems to be no sign of improvement, although Murry Neo gave him a lot of opportunities, but he has never shown the form he had in AC Milan. Although Adriano was not in good form at the beginning, he has recently begun to gradually regain his form. In the last seven league games, he has He scored five goals and formed a strong striker with Drogba, which also made him Mourinho's second choice on the striker.
Joe Cole and Wright Phillips are both on the bench. Robben and Duff are injured and unable to play. Chelsea's extremely terrifying winger group last season is now almost completely paralyzed - from a certain perspective, this is true. A good thing is that Mourinho no longer has to worry about who to play and who not to play
Inter Milan also fielded a 4-4-2 formation, but unlike Chelsea, their formation was strictly 4-3-1-2 - goalkeeper Cesar, defenders Maicon, Zanetti, and Cannavaro With Materazzi, midfielders Mascherano, Sneijder and Yaya Toure trailed behind, Figo advanced alone, and the strike partners were Ibrahimovic and Toni.
With almost a similar formation and similar types of players - two high center forwards, four midfielders who can run, plus a defense with strong assist capabilities, this kind of confrontation will definitely be extremely fierce from the beginning.
??In fact, this is also the case. From the beginning of the game, the two sides started running back and forth in the midfield to press. Inter Milan quickly passed the pass through the midfield, while Chelsea began to block Inter Milan's pass.
Although Chelsea's midfielder steals very fiercely, Inter Milan's offense this season is not able to score so many goals casually. Figo quickly passed the ball to Sneijder, and then moved forward himself. Sneijder was beautiful A direct pass was passed to Figo. Figo was running and passed the ball to Ibrahimovic before Makelele came up to press. Ibrahimovic stopped the ball and turned around, and suddenly took a long shot before Diarra came up!
This was a shot 28 meters away from the goal. The ball roared into the penalty area. When Cech struggled to save it, he found that he was still a little away from the goal
The next moment, the ball flew off the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line. The Chelsea fans in the stands booed, and IbrahimovicHe shook his head. The long-range shot just now felt good to him, but it was a pity that it was so high
Dick gave a thumbs up off the court. He would not criticize Ibrahimovic for no reason. In the attack just now, Ibrahimovic had a chance to shoot. Neither shooting nor passing the ball can be said to be wrong choices. Naturally, he won't criticize this. What he criticizes is that he managed to shoot when there was little possibility of shooting and there was a passing route. Even if such a shot was scored, it was purely a matter of luck. Only then will he be criticized.
Inter Milan fired such a shot just over a minute into the game, and Chelsea's players quickly launched a counterattack - they are also one of Europe's top teams, and naturally they don't want to be led by Inter Milan at their home court. Walk.
Cech took a goal kick and the ball flew towards the front court. Drogba jumped up in the center circle and then tipped the ball down. After Ballack got the ball, he passed it to Lampard and then moved forward himself. At this time, Inter Milan's The defenders began to defend like a tide to prevent Chelsea's counterattack.
Lampard passed the ball to Ballack. Ballack did not slow down the offensive rhythm, but directly passed the ball to Adriano. Adriano took the ball and faced the forward who came to defend him. Teammate Mascherano began to accelerate and dribble the ball!
Inter Milan's defenders naturally know very well the lethality of Adriano's dribbling. Not only is Mascherano defending him, Cannavaro also moves his position forward to prepare for a pincer attack. Arnold did not continue to carry the ball, but made an emergency stop and turned around and passed the ball back to Ballack's feet again. Ballack quickly split the ball diagonally!
The ball flew diagonally to the left wing, and Ashley Cole stepped in-Inter Milan and Chelsea both have full-backs on one side with strong offensive capabilities. In this game, they happened to be opposite each other-just watch Who blasted whom, or they blasted each other during the game.
Cole accelerated past Maicon's defense and then passed the ball to the center. Materazzi and Drogba were entangled. However, Drogba's strength was terrifying to him, and the two collided. , Materazzi's forward momentum was blocked, and Drogba rushed towards the ball's landing point. However, Materazzi's collision was not without effect. Drogba's follow-up was slightly slower. Unable to touch the ball, the ball flew six meters in front of the Inter Milan goal and was quickly cleared by Zanetti who returned to defense.
"Chelsea's attack almost scored a goal Although both sides are not bad in defensive ability, they are still very difficult to defend. Drogba and Toni are both powerful centers. Such centers It is difficult to defend, and with Adriano's breakthrough and Ibrahimovic's organization, both sides have extremely powerful strike partners! In this case, it may depend on who can score first to occupy more points! Advantage! But looking at the current situation, it seems that there will be a lot of goals in this game, because for both sides, it seems easier to score goals than not to concede goals. Even if they both have excellent defenders, it is still very difficult. It¡¯s hard to resist the opponent¡¯s attack!¡±
To put it bluntly, both Inter Milan and Chelsea have strong forwards. Even if their defense is very good, it is difficult to resist the attack of the opponent's forward. Materazzi still has a hard time keeping track of Drogba. Cannavaro can't deal with Arsenal. Deliano is also somewhat difficult to resist. For Chelsea, Carvalho and Terry also have great difficulty in blocking the attacks of Ibrahimovic and Toni. Ibrahimovic's running range and Toni's ability to grab points are difficult for them to control. Yes, the two sides can be entangled in the midfield, but at this time both sides are more directly overlying the frontcourt to create opportunities.
After Ballack received the ball in the middle, he planned to pass it directly to Ade in front. Cannavaro went around to defend and intercepted the ball with a beautiful tackle.
Ibrahimovic made two consecutive breakthroughs and created two corner kicks. However, Chelsea's ability to defend against high-altitude balls was quite good. Figo's two corner kicks failed to create any threat. Toni once grabbed the first shot. However, under Ballack's close defense, he was unable to withstand the force and the ball went over the crossbar.
After a back-and-forth struggle, Chelsea almost scored in the tenth minute. Drogba took the ball but was blocked by Materazzi. The ball fell behind Adriano. After Adriano stopped the ball Suddenly he turned around and fired a volley. The ball hit the crossbar hard and then bounced off the baseline!
"It's so dangerous! Adriano's long-range shot was too sudden. It was a pity that it was a little too high. He himself felt it was a pity His condition has started to get better recently. This is a good match for Inter Milan." It¡¯s not a good sign! The shot just now almost scored a goal"
Chelsea fans sighed, but they quickly cheered up. They were just a little bit behind, wouldn't they score next?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??After five minutes, they were actually sighing!
Inter Milan launched a counterattack without saying a word. After Sneijder got the ball in the midfield, he passed it to Yaya Toure. Yaya Toure dribbled the ball forward. When Essien rushed toward him, he passed the ball to In front of Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic stopped the ball and turned around. He quickly moved his feet back and forth, dodged Makelele who came up to press him, and then suddenly passed the ball diagonally.
It was Maicon who stepped in from the right. Before Ashley Cole could come to defend him, he took a step forward with the ball, and then suddenly took a long shot!
This long-range shot was a full twenty-eight meters away from the goal. When it first flew up, you couldn't see anything, but before it flew into the penalty area, there was a big arc change, and it flew straight towards the goal. Far corner!
Cech judged the arc of the ball's flight, but his take-off was a step too slow. Even though he stretched his arms in the air, he still failed to touch the ball!
When the ball hit the dead center of the goal, the entire stadium was filled with cheers from more than a thousand Inter Milan fans who had come from afar!
Although the situation did not have an advantage, Inter Milan unexpectedly scored first!
