Chapter 425 Fighting wits and courage
As soon as the referee blew the whistle, Xia Qi passed the ball to Stankovic, who then knocked it back to Xia Qi.

Xia Qi can't directly dribble forward, that's against the rules.

As soon as Xia Qi received the ball, he heard boos from the surrounding stands. This was discussed by the fans of the home team long ago.

They discussed that as soon as Inter Milan's engine Xia Qi got the ball, he would immediately boo him!He kept booing until he couldn't get the ball.

In fact, fans are sometimes very naive. For some big-hearted players, it is an honor to be targeted by their opponents.

The more he booed, the more excited he became, and on the contrary, he became more motivated.

The road was slippery in rainy days, and Xia Qi didn't dare to take more. He passed the ball to Balotelli, which was discussed before the game.

Balotelli is excited, everyone was drenched in the rain just after playing, it was cold!The body has not warmed up yet, and has not entered the game state. At a glance, it is full of opportunities.

Porto has too many holes.

Balotelli sped forward, Lucho stepped forward to block, and Balotelli accelerated the ball undisguisedly. With this effort, he slipped and fell.

The home team fans applauded immediately.

Lu Qiao originally just came up to stop symbolically so that the brothers behind had time to arm themselves, but he didn't expect the Italian golden boy to give a big gift at the beginning of the show. How can there be no reason not to eat the fat sent to his mouth?

He hooked the uncontrolled ball and headed towards the goal amidst the cheers of the home team fans.

"Lu Qiao come on! Lu Qiao charge forward!"

The surprise discussed by Xia Qi and others before the match turned into fright.

Xia Qi saw that Lu Qiao made a counterattack in the frontcourt, and rushed forward without hesitation to make up for it.

Lu Qiao originally planned to cut inward diagonally and go straight into the Inter Milan penalty area.

But just took two steps, and before he got up to speed, he saw Xia Qi blocking the front like a bandit.

I planted this tree

I opened this mountain,

If you want to live from now on,
Leave the ball at your feet.

Although as a Brazilian, Lu Qiao is not unable to force Xia Qi, but...why take the risk?

Coach Pereira's words rang in my ears: "Persist for 90 minutes."

Xia Qi is definitely not a soft persimmon. If you want to pass others without any effort, you must be prepared to lose the ball.

No need to take chances, I'm a pacifist.

Lu Qiao took control of the ball, backhanded it back to his backcourt, and firmly grasped the possession of the ball.

His operation polarized the fans in the stands.

Some fans applauded him: "Good job, exhaust them."

Someone shouted: "You idiot, pass him! What are you afraid of?"

There are also Chinese fans who said triumphantly: "Hang Dao immediately turned to General Xia."

Xia Qi looked at Lu Qiao in surprise. Foreigners worship the strong. Such a choice must have been brainwashed by the head coach.

This ball is not easy to play. If you are not afraid of the opponent being tough, you are afraid of him sticking to it.

Xia Qi waved to his teammates, indicating that everyone should disperse, and that the opponent should not be able to succeed by pressing the whole court.

He forced Vieira to pay attention to his back. Xia Qi was afraid that Porto would lure a snake out of the hole and hit him behind him, but he didn't press the whole court, and he couldn't get possession of the ball.

This is Yang Conspiracy!
This is the conspiracy of Porto coach Pereira.

Lu Qiao backed away slowly with a smile and asked his teammates to hand him the ball. At this time, he was a bit like the female ghost in a female ghost movie who coaxed stupid students.

"Sanggong, are you coming? Come here."

Xia Qi had no choice but to step forward so that there would be a great avenue between him and the midfielder Vieira.

Lu Qiao's goal has been achieved, which is to play Xia Qi behind him. Now that he has a chance behind him, of course he passed the ball in time.

Lisandro cut in at high speed from the side, Xia Qi ran back to chase Lisandro, and at the same time signaled Vieira not to stop Lisandro, but to follow Lucho to the penalty area.

Vieira believed in Xia Qi's speed and ability, and followed Lu Qiao resolutely.

Xia Qi caught up with Lisandro in about two seconds. While defending, he paid attention to the movement on the field.

He noticed that none of Porto's full-backs came up to participate in the attack. What does this mean?
It shows that Porto's tactics are defense, and it is a conservative defense. They are also careful not to invest too much force in the frontcourt when playing defensive counterattacks.

It turned out that they really wanted to keep a 0:0!

For the semi-finals of the Champions League, even the self-esteem of the Portuguese Super League class is gone.

Faced with Xia Qi's interception, Lisandro first made a fake move, Xia Qi stood on his inside, turned sideways towards him, unmoved.

It’s not easy to lie, so let’s be real, everyone is faster.

Lisandro then waded out the ball, and the ball rushed forward together.

Xia Qi took a big step, not in a hurry to make a move, but followed closely.

Lisandro sees that Xia Qi sticks to people like a dog's skin plaster, so he stops urgently!Buckle the ball in the opposite direction, intending to surpass Xia Qi.

Xia Qi did not change direction with him, because he had calculated that Lisandro would do so.

Isn't acceleration, emergency stop, and direction change commonly used by South American players?Messi is the group at the top of the pyramid in South America, and Xia Qi has experienced it many times in La Liga.

So when Xia Qi was defending Lisandro, he kept a hand. He stepped out with his left leg, but his right leg was still dragging behind.

Lisandro made an emergency stop to smash the ball, and Xia Qi kicked back with his right leg, just in time to stop the football.

Lisandro didn't expect that Xia Qi still had a backhand. He collapsed from Xia Qi's leg, but the ball was stopped.

The typical guy doesn't pass the ball though.

When he turned around to chase back, Xia Qi used his solid back to support him and controlled the ball.

"Beautiful defense, Xia Qi's one-on-one ability is worthy of the name Ajax."

"Looking at it now, Lu Qiao's retreat just now was not timid, but wise."

George and Martin habitually gave Xia Qi a wave of rainbow farts, while the fans of the home team booed and cursed.

"Damn Chinese monkeys..."

"..."

Xia Qi pressed Lisandro with his back, and drove the ball forward at the moment of forcing him to brake. When Lisandro started to catch up, he made another emergency stop, protected the ball under his feet, and used Lisandro Dro's inertia shakes Lisandro away.

Xia Qi's whole set of movements is the rhythm difference commonly used by midfielders.

You don't need too many extraordinary skills, just let the opponent not step on your own rhythm, let him take a quick or slow shot.

Xia Qi stopped showing his footwork after passing Lisandro, and he handed the ball to Vieira.

"According to the plan." Xia Qi trusted the veteran's long pass and asked him to pass the ball to Balotelli.

In front of them, Balotelli has almost reached the middle circle, and he is the top player of Inter Milan.

There is Lu Qiao between him and Xia Qi, otherwise Xia Qi would pass the ball directly to Balotelli without Vieira's transfer.

Lu Qiao felt too dangerous to Xia Qi, Xia Qi chose to be safe.

Vieira passed the ball, Balotelli dribbled the ball diagonally, and then shot from outside the penalty area, but his feet slipped and the football was played high and high.

The audience burst into warm applause, congratulating the Inter Milan players on their first shot on the field.

The gloating laughter and applause of the fans of the home team made Balotelli viciously step on the slippery lawn with his feet.

"At the beginning of the game, Inter Milan showed a strong desire to attack, but the slippery lawn in the rain is the 12th man in Porto's defense. Inter Milan must defeat it first if they want to score."

It's not that Balotelli has never played in rain games. Although he is an African immigrant, he grew up in Italy and has played in rain games that are bigger than today.

But a game with such a high pressure like tonight has not passed. Balotelli lost not to the slippery lawn but to his own mentality.

If you can't score, you will be eliminated.Who wants it to end like this?With only three games away from the championship, who will be reconciled?What's more, Balotelli, who came from Inter Milan's youth training camp, no one knows Papa Moratti's thoughts better than him.

Winning the Champions League once in his lifetime is the greatest wish of this kind father. As his most favored son, he must score goals.

With such a psychological burden on his back, Balotelli couldn't play as calmly as usual.

Balotelli's long-range shot failed, and soon he got another long-range chance.

In fact, he passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, which might have been better.But the impatient Balotelli didn't even look at anyone around him after receiving the ball. He turned around and shot, but he didn't hold down the ball. It was another anti-aircraft gun.

The Porto fans sang: "Police, police, come on, there's a terrorist on the field, he's hitting the phone."

This song was not made up specifically for Balotelli, but it was already there, given by the fans to those who like flak.

Affected by this, Ibrahimovic also took a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball missed the post.

In rain games, long-range shooting is an option, because the ball is heavier and slippery in the rain, and it is easy for the goalkeeper to drop it.

But it is wrong to shoot blindly from a long distance without kicking into the door frame.

Xia Qi found out that his bad friend was in a hurry, he stopped and said: "Don't always shoot from long distances, there are obviously better choices, why are you so anxious."

"We want to score as quickly as possible."

"If you want to score a goal quickly, then don't be in a hurry. What is the difference between shooting blindly and giving the ball to the opponent? We want success rate. If there is no chance, we will give the ball to me. We will reorganize the attack and always find a chance. "

"Okay." Balotelli curled his lips, his head was not bright, his golf intelligence was high and he knew he was squandering the opportunity, so he didn't object to Xia Qi's suggestion.

Xia Qi looked at Ibrahimovic, and Ibrahimovic raised his hand and said, "I'm like you, I don't like simple shots, I like routine shots."

It seems that he didn't kick the long shot just now.

Seeing the long-range shot blindly by the Inter Milan striker, Porto coach Pereira sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Regarding the opponent's long-range shots, he specifically targeted this and made targeted arrangements.Let the players keep an eye on the opponent, and do not give the shooter space and time to adjust the ball. The players executed very well. Under their interference, Inter Milan wasted time and opportunities again and again.

After Xia Qi prevented his teammates from shooting blindly, he discovered another problem.

The whole team is eager to score goals, pressing forward and concentrating in the middle.

This brought about a consequence. The Porto team's defense was squeezed very tightly by them, shrinking around the penalty area, and the space that could be used was very small, forming a typical dense defense.

In the previous games, everyone would consciously retreat to respond, and the opponent's players would come out, but now, on the one hand, Porto intends to set up the bus on purpose, and on the other hand, Inter Milan is eager to attack and squeeze the opponent into the penalty area. On the edge, there is no space to break through.

If there is no space, the ball cannot be passed, and if the ball cannot be passed, the offense cannot be organized. You can only gamble on luck.

Every time Xia Qi wanted to pass the ball in the frontcourt, but faced with the crowded front of the penalty area, he was helpless.

In order to prevent the possession of the ball from being cut off for too long, he turned around and kicked the football to Vieira, and then gestured to his teammates to disperse. This is the Inter Milan No. [-] offensive routine. The same way to give the opponent a fatal blow.

To put it simply, blind long-range shots and swarms of beatings are a waste of time and opportunities.

You can't mess up your position and routine just because you are in a hurry to score a goal. You still have to be patient, master the rhythm of the attack, and organize the attack well.

Xia Qi found the reason why he couldn't attack for a long time. Regardless of Balotelli and Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt raising their arms to ask for the ball, he patiently played in the midfield, midfielder and defenders, and was more patient than Porto players.

Do you want to grab it?We are very happy to fall down.

"Xiaqi has started to slow down the tempo, and is not in a hurry to attack. This is because he wants to hit the success rate."

The fans can't see such a deep thing. Xia Qi is not a human being inside and outside. Not only the fans of the home team want to boo him, but the fans of Inter Milan are also cursing him.

Now Inter Milan is behind, are they still working hard?If this was in the Chinese Super League, someone would have called "ball-fixing".

If Xia Qi doesn't have a good chance, he would rather stay in the backcourt than attack easily. When he passes the ball forward, he will ask the midfielder to run in the frontcourt.

How can you pull Porto's defense without running?If you don't pull Porto's defense, how can there be space?

Opportunity is running out!
Under Xia Qi's mobilization, Balotelli and Ibrahimovic finally realized that Xia Qi would not pass the ball to them if they just stuck in the penalty area and did not run outside.

If you want to shoot, you have to have the ball, and if you want to have the ball, you have to run.

So the two fought side by side according to Xia Qi's request. They ran, and the defense that guarded the two also moved. Porto's defense line was slowly expanded under Xia Qi's unhurried and meticulous scheduling.

Xia Qi's scheduling is also a conspiracy. Do the Porto people dare to give Inter Milan's midfielder a space to play calmly?

dare not?Will be passively run, dare, then Ibrahimovic, Balotelli, Stankovic's calmly adjusted long-range shots are no longer anti-aircraft guns.

Yangmou vs. Yangmou is nothing more than patience.

The fans looked sleepy, of course the commentator was not so superficial, they defended Xia Qi.

"It's not that Inter Milan doesn't want to attack, it's that Porto's defense is too tight. Don't look at Xia Qi who is killing time, but there are murderous intentions on the court. When Porto's defense line is empty, Xia Qi will give him a fatal kiss."

Xia Qi has been passing the ball back and forth between Vieira, Muntari and Stankovic.These three are Inter Milan's midfielders. When the Porto people are unmoved, Xia Qi will pass the ball to Ibrahimovic or Balotelli.

If Porto's Lisandro, Rodriguez, and Lu Qiao attack them, Xia Qi will ask them to pass back.

Don't think that Xia Qi is just passing the ball to control the ball. He has been observing the passing in and out.

Observe the changes in the defense of teammates and opponents, and command the forwards from time to time to let them spy on the "military situation" and pass the ball back.

In these five or six minutes, football has always been controlled by Inter Milan.

And the Porto people are not in a hurry to grab the ball. Anyway, they are the ones who can advance 0:0. Why should they feel distressed if the Inter Milan people don't cherish time?

The fans are of course dissatisfied, what about the agreed dragon and tiger fight?
So boring?They started laughing and cursing that Inter Milan is a coward. Now not only Xia Qi will be booed and scolded when he touches the ball, but all Inter Milan people will be attacked.

"Yellow Monkey, haven't you eaten the banana? Don't have the strength to attack?"

"Italian, you surrendered in World War II, do you want to surrender now?"

"Nigger, why don't you jump around?"

"..."

The scolding of the fans made the Inter Milan people full of righteous indignation, but it is also affecting the Porto people.

Just as they were getting more and more scolding, Balotelli put his grievances on the ball under his feet, kicking back with too much force, and the ball was fast and slippery in the rain.Stankovic stopped the ball and stopped.

Lisandro rushed forward, if we didn't fight back, would we really think we were sick cats?Stop the ball four or five meters away, do you really think we don't counterattack?
Seeing his desperate efforts, his teammate Rodriguez hesitated, do you want to support him?
If you don't support it, Lisandro, who works alone, will definitely be submerged in "Inter's sea". If you support it, then the line of defense?
Before he started, Lu Qiao, another member of Nanmei Sanying, rushed out. Rodriguez had no choice now, brother, I am here, and I will be counted in the group fight.

Stankovic saw his mistake, and made Xia Qi's conspiracy come true by mistake. Now it's up to him to see if he can beat Lisandro...

The game has reached the match point again!
