Chapter 87 Seeds

As Mourinho expected, Leonardo's team did not shrink and defend at their home court, but actively attacked and sought all opportunities to score goals. This is their home court, they are familiar with every inch of turf here, and they can also receive the support of tens of thousands of home fans.

These helped them quickly gain an advantage in the start of the game.

In fact, Inter Milan is basically not moving when he won the triple-champion last season. Leonardo's adjustments are focused on the defense line. Everything starts with defending. Last season, Inter Milan often loses big scores because of unstable defense. After the "rock" Samuel was injured, Lucio's condition plummeted, but there is really no one else to use except him. Matrazi is old and his condition is not as good as Lucio. Ranokia is Leonardo's biggest discovery. If it weren't for him, he would probably have to lose more goals.

Ranokia is a new defensive star in Italian football. At a young age, he is known as the "New Cannavaro", but he has a natural advantage over Cannavaro, that is, his height is 1.95 meters, which is something Cannavaro never possessed. He is strong, has obvious air advantages, and has a steady defensive style. When he was still playing in Genoa, he was once loaned to Bari. In the 17 games he played, Bari conceded only sixteen goals. On the contrary, in the 21 games he did not play, Bari conceded 33 goals, and Ranokia's role was clear at a glance.

Leonardo plans to build Ranokia into the future leader on Inter Milan's defense line. It can be seen from the training that he has been letting Samuel and Lucio take turns to coach Ranokia.

Inter Milan's defense line is now seriously aging. Except for Ranokia, all other defenders are over 30 years old. If they don't change the product, they will have to pay a very heavy price. Now Inter Milan has snatched Ranokia, and the defense line is basically worry-free.

In the match against Real Madrid, Ranokia had a very heavy task. He had to defend Higuain, C. Ronaldo and Kaka's successive attacks, and even defended Chu Zhongtian and Alonso who suddenly inserted into the back.

Fortunately, he has Hummels, a young man in German football, has now become the backbone of the German national team's defense.

The basis of all offense is defense. If the defense is not good, the offense will not be much better.

Therefore, Inter Milan was able to suppress Real Madrid at home, and to a large extent, the central defender partner formed by Ranokia and Hummels.

When Alonso passed the football to Higuain for a long time, the football was pushed out by the tall Ranokia in the air.

Not long after, Chu Zhongtian divided the football into the side, and C. Ronaldo crossed it, and the football was pushed out by Hummels.

In the air, there was almost no way to cross the defense of these two people.

Duan Bin praised Hummels and Ranokia as the mobile Great Wall.

So it won't work just by walking the side lane. A simple cross from the side lane is simply ineffective against this line of defense.

Chu Zhongtian did this on purpose, he wanted to test and see how Inter Milan's defense was.

The conclusion now is that crossing from the wing is impossible to penetrate, so how about a strong attack on the middle lane?

Although Chu Zhongtian had an idea in mind, he still needed to check and see if other methods could work.

Real Madrid attacked again. After Chu Zhongtian made a fake move to pretend to pass the ball to the side, he suddenly passed the ball to Higuain in the middle, and then ran forward by himself, trying to cooperate with Higuain.

But Chu Zhongtian encountered problems here. Not only the central defenders were defending, but Inter Milan's midfielders also participated in the defense. Almost all of their fronts in the penalty area were people. When Higuain passed the football to him, before he had time to catch the ball, the football was stabbed away by a cross-legged kick.

When Chu Zhongtian looked down at the football, all the feet caught his eyes.

It seems that in Inter Milan's middle lane, there are heavy troops to guard it. It is full of people here, with clear defensive levels, and the cooperation between the midfielder and the central defender is very tacit. It is very difficult to break the deadlock directly from here.

If you can't cooperate, what about long-range shooting?

Chu Zhongtian continued to try different cracking methods by taking advantage of Real Madrid's offensive opportunity, and he wanted to find the most efficient one.

How to gather in the side? Is it so easy to just divide the football into the side lane?

Obviously not.

Long shots are definitely a very effective way. Just like a three-pointer in a basketball game, the defensive teams stock up on the basket and strictly guard against the inside. At this time, the offensive side pulls out and uses the three-pointer to score frequently. The defense side has to adjust its defensive strategy and pushes out to defend the outside three-pointer. Otherwise, they can only watch the opponent use the three-pointer to widen the gap. Once the defense side pulls out to defend the outside, there are many amenities in the inside that can be used by the offensive side to break into the inside and play the basket.

In short, it is to use three-pointers to mobilize the opponent's defense. Three-pointers can both become a scoring weapon and a strategic weapon.

The same is true for Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot.

He believes that Inter Milan players must be deeply impressed by his long-range shots, especially goalkeeper Cesar, who scored goals in both knockout matches against Inter Milan, and they all scored in the form of long-range shots.

※※※"Inter Milan is attacking, and Sneider passes the football, it's so dangerous!"

The exclaims of Inter Milan fans sounded in the stands, because Sneijder had just passed the football, and Chu Zhongtian had just flew to the ball. If he hadn't passed the football, he would have been kept by Chu Zhongtian now.

Chu Zhongtian did not tackle the ball, so he immediately got up from the ground and turned around to chase him back.

Sneider raised his hand in front, and it was obvious that he planned to use Chu Zhongtian's chance to tackle the tackle and cooperate with his teammates.

Just as Stankovic passed the ball back, Chu Zhongtian shoveled again. This time he did not shovel the ball, but stabbed the ball back before Sneijder received the ball!

Central defender Carvalho received a football from Chu Zhongtian's tackle.

Inter Milan's offense is over.

"Beautiful! Chu Chu Zhongtian's two consecutive flying tackles seemed to be very dangerous, but the effect was very good! His second flying tackle destroyed the football to his teammates, ending Inter Milan's attack! Very decisive!"

After tackled the ball, Chu Zhongtian quickly got up from the ground and threw himself into Real Madrid's attack.

Carvalho passed the football to the retreating Kaka.

Kaka turned around and rushed forward with the ball. Chu Zhongtian followed him firmly.

Kaka took a distance and encountered Inter Milan's block. He did not break through the middle, but instead dribbled the ball from the diagonal to pull the Inter Milan midfielder who intercepted him, and Chu Zhongtian directly inserted it through the gap.

Kaka also encountered problems with dribbling on the slash, and he soon had to face the defense of two Inter Milan players. If he continued to lead, he would most likely lose possession. Real Madrid's counterattack ended.

So Kaka stopped urgently, then turned around and swept the football into the middle.

Chu Zhongtian, who was inserted in the back, received the ball, which was just right.

"Chu!"

When Chu Zhongtian received the ball, there was Inter Milan's defensive player - Cambiaso in front of him.

Cambiaso stood in front of Chu Zhongtian, intending to stop Chu Zhongtian's breakthrough.

Chu Zhongtian did not stop the football directly. Before receiving the ball, he made a move to move the center of gravity to the left, as if he was going to directly wade the ball and break through from the left. After causing Cambiaso to adjust the center of gravity, his right foot suddenly pushed the football forward to the right, breaking through from the opposite direction from the fake move just now!

Cambiaso's reaction was really fast. Seeing Chu Zhongtian breaking through from the other side, he immediately adjusted his center of gravity and chased him again.

However, Chu Zhongtian did not continue to get entangled with him, but suddenly shot from a long time before he could force him!

"Chu—Far-range shot—!!"

"Greater Chinese Cannon!!"

The football shot by Chu Zhongtian is flat and fast, unlike other people's long shots that have a very obvious rise. If Chu Zhongtian's long shot is half-high when he shoots, then it will be a half-high when he flies to the goal. This kind of ball is the most popular and best for goalkeepers to pounce, but many people will never have this idea after personally experiencing Chu Zhongtian's Greater China Cannon. Because... the speed is too fast and the power is too great!

With a shout, the football crossed the penalty area line and flew into the penalty area. Cesar hesitated for a moment, because he didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to shoot directly at the opening angle. He originally thought Chu Zhongtian would forcefully break through the middle and then pass the ball or something, but he didn't expect that he would shoot directly... After he hesitated, when he jumped to the ball again, it was too late. The football went straight through his fingers and flew towards the left post.

Then, with a "bang", it hit the door frame hard and flew out of the bottom line... A lingering scream came from the stands of the Meacha Stadium.

Many Inter Milan fans didn't have time to react when they saw Chu Zhongtian kicking up, but before they could react, they saw the football hitting the goal post. The exclamation was entirely caused by conditioned reflexes - they didn't even know what was going on, and their brains were not keeping up with the speed of the football flying!

"Ah-ah-it's a pity!! Chu's long shot hit the post! This is really a long shot with great strength! Cesar can't reach it at all! As long as he hits within the goal frame, he must be a goal! What a pity! In the 17th minute of the game, Real Madrid missed their chance to lead in this game!"

Inter Milan fans in the stands were still stunned, while Real Madrid fans were already cheering for Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian was also a little regretful, and he waved helplessly.

Although it's just a test, if you can score football this time, that's great... Does anyone like to score goals and lead?

Kaka gave Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up. Although he didn't score, it is undeniable that this was a very beautiful long shot. Such a long shot can boost morale and also undermine the opponent's confidence.

※※※After Chu Zhongtian's long shot hit the post, Inter Milan is now facing a multiple-choice question - was Chu Zhongtian's long shot very lucky, or was he really capable?

Although Chu Zhongtian is good at long-range shooting, not all players who are good at long-range shooting can score a goal or hit the post in the game. Sneijder is also a person who is good at long-range shooting. His long-range shooting ability is quite powerful, so he understands the abilities of players who are good at long-range shooting. Even he cannot achieve such a level in every long-range shooting.

Therefore, based on Chu Zhongtian's long shot hit the goal post, it is believed that his long shot in this game is threatening, and there are several major possibilities to break through Inter Milan's goal.

But on the other hand, what if he really relaxed his defense against Chu Zhongtian because of this, and let him take the opportunity to score the goal, whether it was based on strength or luck, he was scored, in short, he was scored, what should he do? Does anyone dare to promise that Chu Zhongtian's next long-range shot will not enter the goal? Facing a player who is good at long-range shots, the defense will ignore it, indulge the opponent to correct the heart one after another in dangerous areas, and then let the fatal one kick. What a stupid defense... So Inter Milan faces such a multiple-choice question. Do you need to strictly guard Chu Zhongtian and curb his long-range shots?

Sneider glanced at the coach's seat on the sidelines. It should be the time for the head coach to make a decision.

Leonardo was also doing multiple-choice questions in his heart. The analysis process was as above, and in the end he chose to curb Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot. After all, Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot is a threat that is visible and tangible at present, and the rest cannot be taken care of for the time being.

He could clearly feel that Real Madrid was a lot excited by Chu Zhongtian's long shot. He couldn't let it go, otherwise Real Madrid would be very motivated because of this long shot. Morale is very important in football.

If Chu Zhongtian's momentum can be curbed, then Real Madrid's momentum can be curbed.

Leonardo made an order off the court, and he passed it to others on the court through players close to him.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian soon discovered that if he wanted to shoot from a long time, he would face the opponent's press.

Now he has almost no room or time to shoot.

When he gets the ball at the front of the penalty area, he will face Cambiaso's defense. At the same time, behind Cambiaso, Hummels is also waiting for an opportunity to move. Once he plans to shoot from a long time, the time to prepare for the foot will give them the chance to intercept the ball.

But this is in Chu Zhongtian's prediction, so he was not surprised.

In fact, his goal has been achieved. He has quietly planted a seed in the hearts of everyone in Inter Milan, which is the fear of his long-range shooting. This seed takes root in the hearts of Inter Milan players, and will consciously or unconsciously affect them when making judgments.

What he has to do next is to shoot one or two high-quality long shots to consolidate this impression - my long shot is very awesome, so awesome that you can break your goal at any time. If you continue to let me go... Although Inter Milan has already defended him, if only such a kick, Inter Milan will soon think that he has been frozen and will not invest too much energy in him. As the core of the midfield organization, the biggest difference between Chu Zhongtian and other colleagues is that other colleagues always like to defend the players as far away as possible, while Chu Zhongtian hopes to be like a magnet, attracting all the defensive players to his side, so that his teammates will be left unmarked, and no matter how they pass it, it will be fatal... Inter Milan players must believe that at least if they relax a little, he will use long shots to blow the goal of Inter Milan.

Therefore, despite facing heavy defense, Chu Zhongtian still forcibly shot from a long shot!

Just like those three-pointers who still make moves and hit the target when facing the opponent's foul defense, they can not only get three points, but also get a free throw opportunity and succeed in playing three plus one.

This is what Chu Zhongtian has to do.

In order to save time and prevent the opponent from taking advantage of his own foot to steal, Chu Zhongtian shortened his shooting preparation time.

From his feet to shoot, the time it took for the football to go out was very short, and his legs were not fully swung.

He relies on the rapid swing of his calf, just like a whip, so the football kicked out is more concealed, faster, more striking, and more threatening.

"Chu is here again!!"

After Chu Zhongtian got the ball at the top of the road, facing Cambiaso's entanglement and Hummels' eyeing, he still forced his feet and twitched his calf quickly, hitting the football like a whip, and then the football flew straight to the goal!

Cesar did not dare to be careless this time. When he saw Chu Zhongtian's foot hit the football, he made a save move and hit the football sideways!

"Julio Cesar! He made a wonderful save!"

The commentator is praising Cesar, which is equivalent to praising Chu Zhongtian, because if Chu Zhongtian cannot shoot such a high-level ball, how could he force Cesar to make such a wonderful save?

This kick was shot out before Cambiaso reached out to steal the interference, bypassing Hummels and accurately hit the door frame.

Chu Zhongtian's long-range shooting ability and state have been confirmed - he is really very likely to score with long-range shooting in this game, and maybe this is the tactic specially arranged by Mourinho.

Inter Milan's midfielder's long-range shot against Chu Zhongtian was strengthened under the name of the name.

In order to avoid Inter Milan's defense, Chu Zhongtian pushed the long-range shot position a few meters behind and was further away from the goal. In order to continue to curb Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot, Inter Milan's defense line had to push forward as a whole, especially the central defenders.

The seeds that Chu Zhongtian planted in the Inter Milan defender's heart have sprouted and are growing vigorously.

Now that the foreplay against Inter Milan is ready, let’s look at Chu Zhongtian’s performance on the spot…
