Chapter 916
"I don't come in as a manager with the mentality of 'if we lose, it's okay'. Of course, any outcome can happen, for us this is a decisive battle, like any final, you guys. It has to be motivated, because if we lose this game, half of our hard work for the whole season will be for naught.
In the visiting team locker room.

Mourinho's speech is like the lines of the heroes and protagonists in Hollywood blockbusters.

"All I ask is for us to be a cohesive team because I know you are all good, but you are a team and you are nothing without your teammates. As always, I It will take your all, with your desire and your passion, because if we stick together, we will never fail."
In the home team's locker room.

Wenger didn't stay on the pitch or in the stands as usual, he came to the dressing room.

The atmosphere in the battle was a bit tense. The players in the locker room did not have the usual entertainment scenes. Everyone was relaxing and resting in order to meet the challenge of the next 45 minutes.

"Our performance today is very good. Except for a few players, most of them have shown the level they should have in the championship sprint stage. Of course, I am not criticizing other players. They just played too well. I understand their thoughts and hope Steadily maintain the lead until the end of the game, but you have to understand that Magic Bird will not give you this chance. In the last 15 minutes, he is an adventurer and gambler! So we must destroy any illusions of him. . ..."

Wenger's speech was a bit like a warning, but he is the person who knows Mourinho best. He knows that a madman can do anything. At this moment, he doesn't want his players to lose their vigilance. During the same crazy attack, he didn't have the opportunity to communicate with the players in person.

Wenger stayed in the locker room until the game started. He stood at the door of the locker room, hugged the players who filed out one by one, and said the same sentence in each player's ear, "It is possible to enter the final. Take the championship! Arsenal's history is waiting for us to create!"

Wenger may not be a passionate coach, he lacks ferocity and tyranny in leading the team, but he puts hard work and personal sacrifice in the first place.Meticulous, pays great attention to planning and details, has a clear plan for every step of the team, everything must be under control, refuses to rely on luck or on-the-spot performance to decide the game, and arranges every tactical detail before the game.The result of the plan in place is the overall success of Arsenal on all fronts.In terms of tactics, he strives to make every detail perfect. He carefully studies the video before every game and never thinks about things other than the next game. The reason why Arsenal is not as successful as Manchester United is not because of Professor Wenger It's worse than Ferguson, but the professor's men don't have as many talents as Ferguson.It is enough to explain the problem that Henry has allowed the professor to win the double crown with an undefeated record, and now the Gunners have Li Huan, who is even more talented and terrifying than Henry.

After the start of the second half of the game.Mourinho's team continued to defend, slowing down the pace of the game, and shrinking the defense in the middle. However, unlike Mourinho's dealing with Barcelona, ​​in order to prevent Arsenal from setting the ball within 30 meters, Inter Milan's 30 meters The press in the outer area is more active and fierce, but this is also a tactic that first slows down the opponent's advance speed, and then defends in the area. The madman is firm in his own tactics. He always believes that a team will never make mistakes, and his The team is the team that is best at catching other people's mistakes.

Attack is still the theme of Arsenal. Wenger had already set the tone for the second half during the intermission, which was to expand the score and knock out Mourinho's last chance to counterattack.

In the 49th minute, Motta tackled Li Huan from behind and was given a yellow card by the Belgian referee Debrec.

3 minutes later, Lucio tore Bendtner's jersey while fighting for position in the penalty area. The referee De Brickley countered Ibrahimovic's foul.

In the 53rd minute, Cesc Fabregas made a cross in the middle, and Walcott's left-footed low shot from the upper right corner of the restricted area was blocked by Samuel on the goal line.

. . . . . . .

Arsenal's offense was in full swing, and Inter Milan only had the power to defend, not to counterattack.

In the 65th minute of the second half, Inter Milan, who was one goal behind, was still defending. Mourinho's energy-raising skills and patience made Wenger admire. Neo is so patient.

At this time, Arsenal, who had been attacking wildly for 20 minutes, finally slowed down the rhythm of the attack. They needed to buffer the consumption of physical energy before continuing to attack.At this time, Mourinho finally invested more than two people in the frontcourt. Schneider stepped forward to cooperate with Milito and Eto'o, and Maicon also eagerly moved forward to assist.

In the 67th minute, the madman Mourinho's tactical fantasies like waiting for a rabbit achieved results. Diaby stuck the ball at the front of the penalty area and was intercepted by Milito. The Argentine striker passed it directly to Eto'o. Hitting the goal directly, the ball flew into the net against the goal post.

1:1, Inter Milan equalized the score.

After the goal, Eto'o galloped like a cheetah, and then fell to the ground and slid to his knees.

The six thousand Nerazzurri who came to watch the battle jumped up and shouted frantically.

But Mourinho is very calm, a goal is not enough for Inter Milan to advance, his passion is still suppressed.

Suddenly a goal was scored by the opponent, and it was a teammate's mistake. If it was Arsenal last season, it must have been a mess at this moment, and it might even be in chaos. Now, Arsenal is not panicked, Li Huan The heroic performance this season is the source of confidence and motivation for Arsenal. They all believe that Li Huan will always stand up when they are behind and let the team get out of trouble. The result of this confidence is that even if Li Huan does not stand up, there are others of players stepped up to solve the problem.

Arsenal launched a more violent attack after conceding the goal, while Inter Milan still shrank their defense and wanted to continue to catch Arsenal's loopholes. When the opponent has a flaw, they can almost catch it.

Mourinho was sitting on the sidelines, looking confident, but Wenger seemed a little uneasy at this time. Although the current score could still allow Arsenal to advance, the professor knew the strength of the opponent in front of him and did not follow the rules at all. Playing the cards, he was worried that there would be another low-level mistake like Diaby, and in every game, low-level mistakes are almost impossible to avoid.

Within 3 minutes of Inter Milan's goal, Arsenal got a good chance to attack. Fabregas made a long pass. Inter Milan's defender also made a mistake. Lucio and Motta collided. After missing the ball, Bendtner took the ball to the side to look for Nasri. Nasri played a freestyle football move. After stopping the ball with his chest, he hooked the ball to Li Huan behind him.

Li Huan didn't stop the ball at all, grabbed Inter Milan's defender and collided with the midfielder. Before he could react, he passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area to find Bendtner.The ball drew a precise arc, and the player who bypassed the defense from the wing found Bendtner,
After the ferry, Bendtner was ready to grab the point. Inter Milan's defense in the middle was blank because of the collision between Lucio and Motta. Bendtner headed the goal without being marked.

The lion shakes his head!

Bendtner shook his head in the penalty area and attacked the goal. Cesar couldn't judge the direction of the ball at all. He just reacted instinctively, and then he could only watch the ball fly into the net.

2: 1.
Arsenal overtook the score again, and Inter Milan was in an unfavorable situation where only two goals could be advanced. What was even more unfavorable was that 70 minutes of the game had passed, and there was not much time left for the madman to desperately.

"Long live Bendtner!"

"Long live! Li Huan!"

“Great Arsenal!”

. . . . . .

The Arsenal fans in the stands became excited after a short period of depression. Nearly 5 fans stretched out five fingers, indicating that they scored a total of five goals for Inter Milan.Some fans whistled and booed Mourinho. Arsenal fans didn't like this madman who once coached Chelsea.

"GOAL GOAL GOAL.....A beautiful goal! Li Huan's cruise missile, Bendtner's header, Mourinho's defense collapsed instantly, Mourinho waited until Arsenal's low-level mistakes, but he did not I didn't avoid my own low-level mistakes. Originally on the court of professional games, the rhythm is fast, the confrontation is fierce, and the physical energy is consumed. Low-level mistakes are unavoidable, but it is not necessary to pretend to be a grandson in one's own half and wait to catch the opponent's mistakes. Every time I can win, it is very likely that after pretending to be a grandson, I will be beaten into a grandson again by the opponent. This is the greatest tragedy of defensive counterattack..."

The commentator's passionate commentary echoed over the stadium. Although it was covered by the huge roar of the fans at the scene, it was clearly heard by fans all over the world.

Wenger was also enthusiastic. The professor rushed out of the coach's bench, waving his arms and shouting at the Arsenal fans behind the coach's bench. Arsenal's bench and assistant coaches were so surprised that they almost forgot to celebrate.

A flash of anger flashed in Mourinho's eyes. He cursed in a low voice at the place where Lucio and Motta collided, and then started to make substitutions. It is impossible not to change at this time, and there are still 20 minutes left , The madman decided to gamble again.
