Chapter 238: You are Inter Milan players! (Part 1)
"Anelka! goooal! I really didn't expect that Nottingham Forest scored the first goal away game, leading the home team Inter Milan!"
The Nottingham Forest fans who were attracted to a corner of Meacha Stadium cheered and their voices became almost the only voice in the stands of Meacha Stadium at this moment.
As the visiting team fans, there are only 2,000 people. They have been suppressed by the crowded Inter Milan fans, and now they are finally proud.
The two thousand Nottingham Forest fans sang their team songs. The Forest players rushed to the stands and shouted with the group above below.
Meanwhile, in Nottingham, England, in those red bars, countless Nottingham Forest fans sang with them.
"In the 27th minute, Nottingham Forest led 1:0, with goal scorer Nicholas Anelka!" The name of the goal scorer was reported in a routine manner on Meacha's live broadcast. This time people finally heard booing from the home team fans.
Tony Donn and his assistant clenched their fists and celebrated the goal with the others.
The game was unexpectedly smooth to be able to score a away goal in such an important game.
With a away goal in hand, everyone's hearts calmed down. As long as the opponent is not winning by a big score, it will be considered a victory.
Of course, Tang En would not be satisfied with this. It is good to score an away goal, but if he can score more away goals, he will not refuse.
"Dimi!" Done called out Albertini, who was running back to the sidelines to drink water, and gave him a thumbs up. "Beautiful job!"
"You're not just talking about this, boss?" Albertini took a sip of water and smiled.
"Of course. Tell them to continue playing like this, defend and counterattack!"
"OK. "
Back at the coach's seat, Done murmured to Chris Lack as if he was talking to himself: "We are ahead, and the defensive counterattack is more at ease..."
"I think it's quite interesting, I'm playing defensive counterattack in front of the Italians. Hehe." Chris Lak smiled.
"It would be even more interesting if we win, David."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
While the two visiting coaches were chatting and laughing, Mancini bit her lips tightly and looked at the stadium with a pale complexion.
Is there anything more dissatisfaction than conceding a home goal in the Champions League knockout stage?
Yes, that's losing.
Although he has not lost the ball, he lost a goal, which is a big blow to Mancini's plan.
But now is not the time to make adjustments, there is no problem with tactics, and he attacks at home, and now he can only continue to attack. Of course, he cannot watch the team fall behind.
So, when the game started again, Inter Milan's offensive became even stronger. Anelka seemed to disappear after scoring the goal. Forest had no attack at all and was once again pushed back to the 30-meter area by Inter Milan.
Perron has not performed well so far. Don even think Perron is in a bad state, and George Wood doesn't need to specifically guard him. Forest team is in the middle and backcourt.
The inside and outside the penalty area were crowded like a vegetable market. As soon as Inter Milan players attacked, they found that there were people in front, behind and on the left, and it was even more difficult to deliver the football to their teammates accurately.
Cambiaso rushed up to participate in the attack, and he tried to give the football to Martins in front.
But the ball was cut off by Albertini in the middle of the way, which was something that could be done by just stretching his feet - there were too many people and too dense, so the football could easily hit the opponent's feet.
However, Albertini's interception only blocked Inter Milan's attack this time, and the ball did not completely fall into the control of Forest. On the contrary, because Inter Milan put a big push, it formed a depth in the backcourt of Forest.
The offensive line is stacked and layered. The Forest team broke down and the earth will soon fall into the feet of Inter Milan players again. Then they will push forward and be cut off again... It just goes on like this. It's really comparable to climbing the sky to enter the Forest team's penalty area. George
Wood and Albertini built a high wall in front of Pepe and Pique. In addition to long shots, they have hit the wall countless times when they broke through. As for crosses from the wing... Pepe and Pique are both over 1.9 meters tall. They are excellent center-backs with headers.
This is completely three-dimensional defense.
It seems that the English defense is more authentic than the Italians.
However, Don En learned a lot about defense from the Italians. It is now just right to deal with Italian teams, and the effect looks very good.
Inter Milan is not prepared for the Forests so thoroughly to defend, and now they have no better way except long shots.
Peron's long shot, Cambiaso's long shot, Figo's long shot, Adriano's long shot, Martins' long shot... Even Matrachi rushed up and kicked a long shot.
Until the whistle sounded at the halftime break, people couldn't count how many long shots the Inter Milan players shot. They only saw Inter Milan being at a loss in the face of the Forest's iron barrel formation.
Generally speaking, long shots are the easiest way to turn off your opponents to defend, but they are also the most brutal and technical, and they feel like they are "lucky".
From another perspective, when a team frequently uses long shots, it means they are restless.
This can be seen from the different performances of the two teams when they ended. Inter Milan players were rushing with their heads down, while Nottingham Forest players slowly walked towards the players' corridor.
The two head coaches were too. Mancini had a stern face and a serious look on his face. Donn and Chris Lack walked back with a smile.
"Good job, guys." The first sentence of entering the house, Tang En praised everyone.
"We made Inter Milan uncomfortable. Although we were ugly on the scene, look at it - a away goal is worth it! If we continue to play like this in the second half and wait until the Inter Milan players start to become anxious, then the victory will be ours!"
"Look at what you are all doing?" This is the first sentence Mancini said after entering the home team's locker room, and a cold tone indicates that he was very angry.
"Who asked you to shoot from a long shot when you get the ball on the court? I don't remember that during training, I told you that the way to break the opponent's dense defense is to shoot from a long shot!"
Inter Milan players sat in their respective positions and remained silent.
"In the second half... completely block Albertini. I don't care what method you use, so I can't let him take the ball comfortably and pass the ball comfortably. He is a dangerous person, and I don't think anyone among you will be unfamiliar with this evaluation.
”
Javier Zanetti nodded slightly, he was indeed familiar with it. So when Albertini turned around and wanted to pass the ball, he chased back. Unfortunately... if he had been younger for a few years, the ball might have been cut off.
I'm so old before I know it...
"Cambiyasuo, you have to keep a little more eye!" Mancini punched his fist, "I don't want to praise the opponent in front of you, but you should really observe the opponent's No. 13! Look at how he defends...
"He originally wanted to say "Look at how he defends Veron", but when he thought that doing so would be too unfair to Veron, he changed his words temporarily.
"Foof! The movements are a little rougher. This is our home court. What are you afraid of?!"
Cambiaso was scolded by Mancini and couldn't raise his head. He knew in his heart that his defense against Albertini was not successful in the first half.
Most of the time Inter Milan presses against the opponent and does not need to pay attention to Albertini's defense. However, when it is really his turn to stare at the opponent, he makes him pass a high-quality long pass, directly assisting Anelka to score a goal.
"Do you need me to teach you how to defend?"
Cambiaso shook his head: "No, coach."
"Albertini is their core figure. Don't worry about Ribery or Anelka. Just watch him to death, it's enough! When they get the ball in the backcourt, they will definitely find Albertini's point, and then he will be responsible for sending the football out.
If you look at him to death, cut off their passing route, and then implement a pressing defense against other players, you will also make them mistakes if you can't stop!"
"On the offensive..." Mancini waved and made a recycling gesture, "If they don't come out, pull them out.
I don’t see the stupid way to break dense defense with frequent long shots! Use your brains to make you a player in Inter Milan, you are professional players, not any amateur team! Did you play football on the first day!"
In the end, Mancini still couldn't control his anger.
"This is the Champions League, this is not a friendly match. If we lose this game, you know what that means!" Mancini pointed to the top, and there was the stand. "Remember what you should do.
Did you see the expression of the head coach of the Forest team when he came out? He thought he was sure to win, he thought his team could win Inter here! Don't let him succeed."
