Chapter 546 Huo Cun Miraculous World No. 1 Defender and Victory ([-])

After the score was equalized, there were only the last 5 minutes left in the first half. Hoffenheim, who had just scored a goal, wanted to use these 5 minutes to strike while the iron was hot and score another goal. After Inter Milan conceded a goal, their morale weakened. , I just want to quickly consume these few minutes and wait for the second half to show off against Hoffenheim.

As a result, the game became one-sided. Hoffenheim launched a full-line counterattack, and even Ibezberger also assisted the midfielder, while Inter Milan was forced to retreat to their own half. field.Use dense defensive tactics to deal with the opponent's overwhelming offensive.

The situation changed so quickly that the fans of the home team were speechless. Before 10 minutes, Inter Milan had an absolute upper hand. After 10 minutes, Inter Milan was firmly suppressed by Hoffenheim. Even their strongest The attack from the right was also contained by the opponent, and there was almost no chance to get the ball. The ball was flying around in the Inter Milan penalty area. Grab the point and hit it within the range of the goal. The threat to Inter Milan's goal is fatal.

The fans of the home team were terrified, and the sound of cheering and cheering was much quieter. The voices of the Hoffenheim fans at the Meazza Stadium gradually became louder, which greatly overwhelmed the momentum of the Inter Mulan fans.

Mourinho's face was cold, and he was not too worried about the situation on the pitch. Although the opponent had an absolute advantage, Inter Milan's defensive formation was not chaotic, and the defense was well organized. Even if Hoffenheim was given a few more minutes, They may not necessarily be able to break through the gate of Inter Milan.It's just that now the frontcourt must never give Hoffenheim a direct free kick. The free kick that Li Huan just showed shocked Mourinho. He now has no doubts about giving Cesar another chance. Thrall still has no chance of saving Li Huan's shot. This Chinese free kick is too fast and too accurate. Mourinho just saw the ball flash, and then the net moved. It is simply impossible for humans to react. .

However, Mourinho also has some regrets. He shouldn't let the team take it back. If Inter Milan continues to exert pressure, Li Huan will definitely not have too many chances to get the ball. Maybe that free kick will not happen. Such a powerful free kick Kungfu is really the nemesis of his defensive tactics. He can't deny his opponent a free kick in the frontcourt. Li Huan scores a goal when he has a chance. This is really difficult to deal with.Mourinho felt that he should think about how to arrange tactics in the second half.

The worries of the Inter Milan fans did not last long. The first half of the game ended quickly. Inter Milan really deserved to be an Italian team. Although they did not really understand Mourinho's defensive tactics, they only relied on Italy The defensive style also withstood Hoffenheim's crazy attack in the last few minutes.

After returning to the locker room, Rangnick and the coaching staff immediately followed up. Although Hoffenheim had the upper hand in the last ten minutes of the first half, it had something to do with Inter Milan taking the lead after taking the lead. If Mourinho If you don't take it back, maybe Hoffenheim will continue to be passive, and it is possible to be scored by the opponent again.

As soon as Rangnick entered the locker room, Sarihovic said: "Coach, if Inter Milan continues to attack like the first half in the second half, I don't know if I can last until the end of the game. I have already received a yellow card. I think we should be like Inter Milan and send a striker to suppress Maicon's possession."

Ibezberg also said: "Maicon is faster than me and has better skills than me. It is too difficult to defend such a player. We must limit the number of times he takes the ball."

Even if the two disciples don't say anything, Rangnick also knows that blindly using foul tactics to deal with the opponent's offense may not last until the end of the game. Sarihovic himself is not a player who is good at defense, he is more focused on offense .But the key now is that Hoffenheim lacks a defensive left midfielder. Weiss can play on the left side, but the effect is not known.

, even if it can be defended, the attack on the left will be completely abolished.He also considered Sarihovic's suggestion during the game, but now there are two midfielders in the middle that are a bit difficult to support, and it may be more difficult to block the impact of Ibrahimovic and Adelaide if they are replaced. The world's first class.

Lannick thought of this, and said: "I didn't expect the opponent to change so much. Our pre-match preparations didn't help. Fortunately, we finally equalized the score. In the second half, you support it first. If the opponent's attack is really fierce, I will let Wei Sarihovic came on to replace Sarihovic."

At this time, Zeidler suddenly said: "If it is not easy to change the formation, it is better to transfer Li Huan to the left back position, Baker plays the right back, Zanetti is old, and the offense will definitely not be as sharp as Maicon , Baker has performed very well in the competition recently, and Li Huan's left and right foot skills are very balanced."

Zeidler has always been outspoken, not as tactful as Marco, his words made Ibezberg's face darken, because Li Huan's ability is too outstanding, his performance at the left back position is definitely not bad, if Baker is at the right back position If he performed very well in the field, wouldn't his main position be dangerous.

However, Lannick rejected Zeidler's suggestion, saying: "This is too risky. Baker has not participated in such a level of competition. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to play rashly to defend Zanetti. Li Huan has never played in the left back position. It’s hard to say the effect, let’s replace Weiss to strengthen the defense on the left, and Li Huan attacked Zanetti’s left. I think we still have a chance.”

The visiting team's plan has been decided, and the home team is also deploying tactics for the second half. Mourinho did not make much change to the pre-match deployment. In his opinion, the score was equalized not because of his arrangement. It was Li Huan's personal ability that was too strong, and a free kick within 30 meters was directly scored.For other teams, if you give him ten such opportunities, you may not be able to score one.

So apart from replacing Balotelli with the faster Quaresma because of defending Li Huan, Mourinho mainly gave pointers on the details, focusing on the defense in the 30-meter area in the middle, analyzing the referee's The penalty scale, what kind of fouls can be taken to avoid giving the opponent a free kick.In the study of the details of the game, Mourinho is even more meticulous than Lenny.

After the start of the second half, Hoffenheim did not make any substitutions. They had an advantage at the end of the first half and did not want to make adjustments to the lineup. However, Inter Milan made a substitution at the beginning of the game. Balotelli was replaced by Quaresma, this is because Mourinho felt that Balotelli could not keep up with Li Huan, so he changed to a more flexible winger. Mourinho had no intention of letting Quaresma compete with Li Huan, as long as Quaresma Just be able to interfere with Li Huan taking the ball, and be able to hit behind Li Huan when counterattacking.

After the opening, Hoffenheim wanted to start a fierce attack on Inter Milan in the final stage of the first half, but Inter Milan also suddenly exerted strength and launched a confrontation with Hoffenheim, which would have set off a wave of the first half. offensive intent.

But now Hoffenheim is ready. Seeing that Maicon is active again, repeatedly assaulting two players who received yellow cards, Rangnick decisively replaced Weiss with Sarihovic to strengthen the defense on the left.Arshavin on the right also retreated more to take the ball, and cooperated with Li Huan. After the two players with outstanding personal abilities cooperated on the wing, Stankovic and Quaresma could not form an obstacle at all, especially Quaresma did not meet Mourinho's requirements at all. He had all the speed. Not only could he not keep up with Li Huan's footsteps in defense, but because he was too flashy in offense, he was beaten consecutively by Simunić and Li Huan. For steals, Quaresma is not even as good as Balotelli on the court, at least Balotelli still has a good body, which makes Li Huan a little afraid.

Quaresma's performance made Mourinho's face a little feverish, because this was a request he made when he was coaching. Moratti also bought Quaresma with funds close to 4000 million euros. However, Quaresma looks like a parallel importer.Mourinho can think of what the media and fans will think and say.

As Hoffenheim's defensive ability on the left side strengthened, Inter Milan could not suppress Hoffenheim's right-sided offensive. Hoffenheim gradually gained the upper hand, but this advantage was also very weak, not enough to break through Inter Milan. line of defense.Now both sides are waiting for the opponent to make a mistake in defense, or to have a flash of inspiration in their own offense. After all, they have very talented players on the court. As long as one of them shines, the trend of the game may be changed.

The time of the game is slowly passing, but the one-to-one score seems to be frozen, and it has not changed at all. The away draw is completely acceptable for Rangnick. Now Hoffenheim still has a slight upper hand on the field, so he does not want to Change.Michele would end the game now and Lannick couldn't agree more.

But Mourinho absolutely does not want to let his opponent retreat in Meazza. Now it seems that the position of the boss of Group B is the battle between Hoffenheim and Inter Milan. The other two teams are just studying with the prince That's all, if you can't win Hoffenheim at home, the first position may have to be decided at Hoffenheim's home court, which Mourinho doesn't want.

Mourinho is really not an ordinary person. Just 10 minutes into the second half, he immediately turned to his assistant coach Julipe.Baresi said: "Let Mancini and Cruise warm up."

Although he was a little surprised to hear that the two forwards were warmed up together, Baresi knew the character of the coach and immediately let Mancini and Cruz warm up.

Five minutes later, Mourinho called Mancini over and said to Mancini: "You replace Quaresma, keep an eye on Li Huan, where is he going?"

Baresi looked at Mourinho in disbelief, and said, "Quaresma has only played for less than 20 minutes."

Mourinho snorted and said: "20 minutes is enough time for a player to prove himself, but his performance disappointed me, very disappointed."

Little Mancini's heart sank, knowing that if he could not satisfy the head coach, he might also be humiliated like Quaresma, which is not impossible.

I don't know what stimulated him, but after Mancini came on the pitch, he frantically followed Li Huan and followed Li Huan wherever he went, just like a man-marking striker.

Tao Wei looked puzzled and said, "How does Mourinho use people? I've seen him turn a striker into a defensive striker. Has he turned into a man-marking striker now?"

Zhang Lu smiled bitterly and said: "No one can guess the intention of this madman. Quaresma can be replaced as soon as he is replaced. It is not impossible for Mancini to become a man-marking striker, but now it seems The effect is good, there are few opportunities for Li Huan to hold the ball and cooperate with Arshavin, and Inter Milan’s offensive gradually picks up. Although the time is only about 20 minutes, maybe Inter Milan can score again.”

After Mourinho sent a man-marking forward to stare at Li Huan, Inter Milan aggressively pressed the attack. Without Li Huan's support on the right, Hoffenheim's advantage was greatly reduced, and Inter Milan began to gain the upper hand, but Inter Milan also It also has a slight upper hand and cannot really threaten Hoffenheim's defense.

But at this time another accident happened, because Maicon was entangled by Weiss, Ibrahimovic suddenly moved to the left side, and cooperated with Muntari. Ibrahimovic's ball failed, and Ibrahimovic was forced to pass with his body. Seeing that Ibrahimovic was about to enter the penalty area, Ibezberg had to reach out and pull Ibrahimovic. The referee Michel could see clearly not far away. A second yellow card was issued, two yellows turned one red and Ibetzberg was sent off.

At this moment, both Rangnick and Hoffenheim's coaching staff panicked. They were already at a disadvantage, but now that there is one less person, it is impossible to play the next game. Rangnick quickly asked Janker to prepare Going on the field and replacing striker Saviola, victory is impossible, as long as the current score can be maintained.The back line must not be incomplete, and must be replaced immediately.

But Zeidler said again: "Ralph, I think it's better to temporarily switch Li Huan to the left. He can completely suppress Maicon by himself, and Baker has performed very well recently, and you know, Baker's future effect."

Zeidler's words made Lannick hesitate for a moment. He understood the meaning of Zeidler's words. With Li Huan's current performance, it is hard to say whether Li Huan can be retained next season. Baker is actually a backup to prevent Li Huan from leaving. If Li Huan doesn't leave, everything will be fine. If Li Huan leaves, Baker can take the lead. Now that Zanetti is suppressed by Arshavin, it is not too dangerous for Baker to play.

After thinking about it for a while, Lannick made up his mind, let Jankel come back, and asked Baker to play. Baker didn't expect that the left back was sent off, and he, a right back, had a chance to play. He was overjoyed and hurriedly changed his jersey.

"You play right back and let Li Huan go to the left. Your task is to defend. Don't attack if you don't have a good chance. Our goal now is to draw..." Lannick ordered.

Baker nodded excitedly, turned around and ran to the field. It is a great opportunity for him to play in such a game. Just as his agent told him, Hoffenheim will not keep Li Huan for long. Yes, the Bundesliga is already in decline. It is impossible for Hoffenheim to give Li Huan a higher annual salary. As long as he can perform well, he will soon be able to make a comeback. Once Li Huan leaves, the main right back will be his right? .

Baker's appearance aroused the discussion of many senior fans on the field. Mourinho was also very puzzled. After sending off a left back, Rangnick actually replaced a right back as a substitute. Could it be that he replaced the wrong person?Confused?However, Mourinho had no time to think about what Lannick was thinking. With a big wave of his hand, Cruise, who was warming up and on standby, came on the stage and replaced Muntari. Defensive midfielders are not very useful.When it's time to fight for his life, Mourinho has always been very courageous, which is also an important factor for his success.

But when Inter Milan took a free kick from the side, everyone understood what kind of medicine was sold in Rangnick's gourd. It turned out that Li Huan turned into a left back.The young man who had just played appeared at the right back position.

Immediately, the fans in the stands became excited, and the discussion sounded like bees buzzing.

"Ah! Li Huan went to the left!"

"It looks good now! Now I can know who is the world's number one right back!"

"Two of the best defenders go head-to-head!"

Li Huan's coming to the left was beyond Mourinho's expectations, but he was not worried. Mourinho felt that it would be fine even if Maicon was restrained. Now that Inter Milan has one more person, can't they take down Hoffen? Haim? Besides, Li Huan went to the left, and Zanetti would have a chance to step up and assist. Could that kid be able to block Zanetti and Stankovic?

Seeing Li Huan coming to the left side, Maicon couldn't help feeling angry. It turns out that he has always been regarded by the media as the world's number one right back, but this year, Hoffenheim's Chinese defender has risen very fast. Last season, someone compared him to himself. This season, he even thought that this Chinese is the world's number one right back. This made Maicon very upset. He played so well in this game, so he wanted the media to see. Who is the number one defender in the world.

He is very satisfied with his performance now, but he did not expect that after the opponent's left back was sent off, Li Huan actually came to the left. "Does Lannick actually think that this Chinese can block my attack at the left back? We will Let you know who is the best defender in the world." Maicon sneered, determined to give Li Huan a big blow when he crossed over.

The commentator at the scene said: "Hoffenheim was sent off a player, but the game was more exciting and more eye-catching. The battle between Li Huan and Maicon's first defender can now be compared to a result. Just now At the end of the 70 minutes, Maicon and Li Huan each scored a goal, and the game was tied, if Li Huan can suppress Maicon at the left back position, it is self-evident who is the number one defender."
