Chapter 567 Perfect Center

Emotion is a very scary thing. It does not affect only one person, but even affects his surroundings.

When Inter Milan scored the equalizer goal, every Liverpool player felt a crisis, from their desire to win, to their fear of losing, and even surpassing their confidence in seeking a draw.

This is directly reflected in the game field, that is, every Liverpool player's pass, interception, and steal are all cautious, for fear that he will accidentally make a mistake, for fear that he will accidentally become the sinner who will be reversal of the team.

But Inter Milan's morale was greatly boosted and began to launch a threatening offensive.

Benitez made a quick decision and replaced Hepia and Finan to further strengthen the team's defense.

Aveloa performed very well in this game, almost perfectly frozen Cristiano Ronaldo, but the price he paid was also obvious, that was, he would not be able to participate in the second round of the two teams. At the same time, he exhausted his physical fitness early and was forced to replace the game early.

The other player who was substituted was Cen Deng.

The Dutch player's performance in this game was indeed quite good, especially in Liverpool's goal, playing a crucial role and working very hard in the game, but it also caused his legs to cramp and he was replaced.

After being replaced by Hypia, Liverpool began to play as a three-center-back. In addition, Finnan and Riser formed two wings, five defenders and three midfielders, Liverpool arranged eight players in the entire midfield and backcourt, which was a heavy army.

But even so, under Inter Milan's fierce attack, Liverpool's goal is still in danger.

After the substitution adjustment, the Red Army calmed down, and every player did not reserve at all. He tried his best to stop every attack from Inter Milan. Gerrard returned to the goal many times, and Carragher even blocked Inter Milan's shot with his body.

With such tenacious willpower, even Gao Han, who is the opponent on the sidelines, has to admire him.

This has already tied the score. If Adriano hadn't scored just now, the game would have been even more difficult.

"After the game, I must have a good drink with Benitez." Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He is still very sure of Benitez's colleague. Whether he was in Tenerife or later coaching Valencia, he admired Benitez's coaching ability very much.

In this game, Liverpool's performance further strengthened his view.

Benitez is definitely one of the top tactical masters in European football today.

"He may not necessarily be willing to drink with you."

Guardiola, who was beside him, replied with a wry smile after hearing Gao Han's words, "I heard that he is not particularly sociable."

Gao Han also knew this.

Benitez's personality is indeed a bit too strong, but this is normal. Any head coach like him who is addicted to tactics and persists in his pursuit will inevitably be more strict with the players. They even want the players to be just a robot, have no feelings and only know how to execute.

But this did not hinder Gao Han's affirmative evaluation of Benitez.

"Liverpool was able to win the Champions League and this season is where Benitez makes a great contribution. They are not without the strength to compete for the Champions League, but..."

The cruelty of the Champions League knockout stage is that it is not possible for a team with strong qualifying to advance, or even laugh to the end.

After all, this is a life-and-death knockout match. Only teams with better performance on the spot can stand out and advance smoothly.

"Stop talking about that stubborn guy, you should think about how to break through Liverpool's goal first." Cantalero reminded.

The game is still tied one-to-one. Although it is very beneficial to Inter Milan to end with this score, Gao Han's ever-winning golden body is broken, and it will definitely become the front-page headline of the world's media tomorrow.

This is the first time Gao Han has been tied for coaching in these years.

Seeing Cantalero so nervous, he was more concerned than himself, Gao Han shook his head amused.

"Don't be nervous, Carlos, isn't there still more than five minutes?"

"It's weird if you're not nervous." Cantalero replied angrily.

After following Gao Han for many years, he also knew that he had not experienced such a thrilling victory in the past.

But the opponents tonight are obviously different. That is Benitez and Liverpool. Can they be the same?

Gao Han smiled, entered the coaching system, and glanced at the skill card. The offensive card on Ibrahimovic was only less than two minutes left, while the assault card was on Cristiano Ronaldo, and the assist card was on Recoba, and the time was the same as the offensive card.

Gao Han knew this. If the time came and he hadn't scored a goal, he would upgrade his skill card and strengthen his offensive.

After glanced at the court, Gao Han failed to get the ball and was forced to pass back after seeing Cristiano Ronaldo getting the ball. The Portuguese looked a little depressed.

Tonight, he was first frozen by Aveloa, and then replaced with Finnan, but his performance did not improve, and he probably felt depressed.

"Let Pandev go warm up and be ready to play at any time."

After joining Inter Milan this season, Pan Dev performed well in many games. He is a qualified substitute player, which makes Gao Han attach great importance to it.

Cantalero nodded and agreed, turned around and went to make arrangements.

But at this moment, Yaya Toure passed the ball to Rekoba who cut in from the right. As soon as the latter received the ball, he passed the ball with a low left foot and sent it directly to Ibrahimovic's feet in the penalty area.

The Swedish center received the ball from behind, and the ball that was directly passed in front of him seemed to be a well-behaved and obedient child, and he could stabilize as soon as he stopped.

Karag was blocking behind Ibrahimovic, and Hypia assisted in defense, both of them were facing a great enemy.

After Ibrahimovic caught the ball, he suddenly took a step back, as if he was going to take out of the penalty area.

Carragher was afraid that he would turn around and get rid of it, so he didn't dare to stick it too tightly.

But unexpectedly, Ibrahimovic suddenly turned around and faced Karag.

Both Karag and Hypia were shocked, and the former was even posted on the first time, trying to block Ibrahimovic's shooting angle, but unexpectedly Ibrahimovic gently thrust the ball to the right.

It was these two shots that confused Karag and Hypia, making them mistakenly think that Ibrahimovic wanted to control the ball, and even everyone in the game, including Gao Han on the sidelines, felt this way.

But suddenly, Ibrahimovic took a big step forward without any warning, and then chased after him and directly volleyed.

The whole process was born in an instant, and neither Carragher nor Hepia could react in time.

The ball quickly passed by two Liverpool defensive center backs and slung straight into the upper right corner of the goal.

At this time, Reina suddenly realized, but it was too late.

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!"

"In the 85th minute, my god, in the 85th minute, Ibrahimovic suddenly shot."

"This is definitely a reflection of the player's personal ability. We really can't believe that while Carragher and Hypia and Reina behind them almost blocked all shooting angles, Ibrahimovic suddenly hit a dead corner."

"This goal is very similar to Adriano's goal just now. The Brazilian striker played in the upper left corner, while Ibrahimovic hit the upper right corner, but both times they were blind spots."

Ibrahimovic didn't look excited at all after scoring the goal, but just walked to the sidelines with a very flattering look, spreading his arms to the stands, and his expression was calm, as if he had just scored a tiny goal.

But his teammates rushed forward and hugged him.

No one would have thought that suddenly, the goal came.

Gao Han was also stunned and surprised when he watched the scene.

Of course he knew that this was a six-star offensive card at work, but the problem was that the premise for the offensive card was that Ibrahimovic had to have this strength and this idea.

Faced with such a sudden goal, he could only say that Ibrahimovic's thinking logic was a bit different from others.

"I guess he doesn't want to enter the ball without difficulty." Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Are Guardiola and Cantalero also feel helpless?

As early as Chelsea, Gao Han was very familiar with Ibrahimovic and knew the guy's personality, but later under Gao Han's training, he really changed a lot.

But there is a saying that it is easy to change the country and nature is hard to change. This kid still creates some news from time to time and gives some fresh and exciting things.

However, his heart is indeed very big.

As the game was approaching, he received the ball in the penalty area and dared to do it alone by himself. This definitely requires courage and confidence.

"He's really like a perfect center template," Guardiola praised.

In Guardiola's career, he had an inseparable emotion for centers, especially high centers like Cruivet and Ibrahimovic, who are more obsessed with the skills under his feet.

The reason is also very simple. They all conform to Guardiola's football philosophy, but at the same time they can provide the tactical advantages of traditional high center forwards, and their role in the game is indeed quite large.

In the current center, Adriano has strong impact and excellent scoring ability, but his tactical fulcrum is weak. Chelsea's Drogba's strength is excellent in confrontation, but his feet are rough.

Only Ibrahimovic, this kid is perfect.

The moment I stopped the ball against Carragher just now, it was very stable, and then I turned around and was very agile. Suddenly, I was able to catch up and hit the ball directly, which was beyond the surprise of Hepia and Carragher.

In response to the results, both central defenders have problems, especially Karag, who did not have close protection against Ibrahimovic.

But the question is, even if Carragher is close to her body, can he defend against it?

Ibrahimovic has many precedents of defensive players scoring goals after getting the ball in the penalty area.

I can only say that facing a player like Ibrahimovic is definitely a nightmare for defensive players.

…………

…………

After Ibrahimovic scored a goal, the game has basically come to an end.

Gao Han then replaced Pandev and Marcisio, and used two substitutions to delay the time.

But Liverpool suddenly used Inter Milan's substitution to disrupt the rhythm of the Nerazzurri, broke away from Inter Milan's control, and still stubbornly wanted to win opportunities and equalize the score.

The Reds fought tenaciously until the moment the whistle sounded at the end of the game. After the whistle sounded, many players such as Gerald and Carragher collapsed on the grass.

They have exhausted their last bit of energy, but they still cannot change the ending.

But in the stands at Anfield Stadium, tens of thousands of fans sang the grand occasion.
