Chapter 236 Meacha San Siro (Part 2)

George; Wood is still responsible for defense and is "bodyguard on the court". With Wood's rapid growth, Albertini no longer has to invest too much energy in defense.

Now he is thirty-four years old. It is impossible for him to retreat, defend, advance and attack like before. As he grows older, his physical fitness and physical condition are not as good as before. However, his accumulation of experience and his stability and calmness make him more suitable to be a midfield organizer.

Donn likes Albertini's mid- and long pass very much. Before Arteta, the Forest's offensive launch was mainly based on this superb but unobstructed mid- and long pass to tear open the opponent's defense line.

However, in this game, Inter Milan attached great importance to Albertini. As old opponents, they naturally understood Albertini's strength, not to mention that Inter Milan's current head coach is still Mancini.

Albertini's "old friend".

When Mancini made a big splash as a young coach in Lazio, Albertini played a season under him, but the relationship between the two was not good.

In fact, at the beginning, Albertini and Mancini cooperated very well, but their relationship deteriorated rapidly, not because of problems such as position on the field, but because Albertini believed that Mancini lacked respect for himself.

Albertini is a person with a straightforward temperament and has had fierce quarrels with many coaches.

But there is no between him and Don Eun. Why? Because during this season and a half season contact, he believed that Don Eun was a sincere person, and Albertini himself was sincere, so he also liked someone who was sincere to him. Don Eun just fits his aesthetic view.

Back to the game, although Albertini thought that Mancini did not respect him enough, judging from the first ten minutes of the game, at least on the court. Mancini attached great importance to the former AC Milan vice captain.

Cambiaso is responsible for marking Albertini, which is just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, Mancini requires that when Albertini gets the ball, the Inter Milan player closest to him must be forced to go up as soon as possible and do not give him a chance to control the rhythm of the game.

As the head coach who once coached Albertini, Mancini knew very well that if Albertini was allowed to control the rhythm of this game, then no matter how powerful Inter Milan was, she would have to be led away.

But. As a refined head coach, Mancini is obviously not as good as Tony; Don is so rogue, and his men are not as good as George; Wood's midfield meat grinder, so the pressure on Albertini is not enough.

Just after ten minutes, after Albertini got the ball, Cambiaso wanted to come up to defend, George; Wood ran over very "out of time" and waved between Cambiaso and Albertini.

The Argentinian was forced to slow down and avoid it. As soon as he slowed down, Albertini swung his foot and passed the ball out.

Thirty-five meters long pass, targeting Frank; Ribery.

Cambiaso glared at Wood who suddenly appeared in front of him in anger, then turned around and ran back to participate in the defense.

Albertini, who passed the ball, also ran up to receive the attack, and George, who had provided him with protection just now; Wood stopped in the backcourt and waited for the next opponent to attack.

Albertini, who ran forward, suddenly stopped and turned around and blinked at Wood. Thanks for the protection he provided silently just now.

Wood had a stern face and no response. What about the game, can you be more serious?

Albertini was already used to the child's behavior, so he turned around and continued running up.

Ribery's territory was kicked out of the sideline by Zanetti, who returned to defense in time, winning time for other Inter Milan players to return to defense.

The captain of Inter Milan shouted to his teammates back to defense, while the captain of Nottingham Forest waved his hand and asked the team to press forward.

"George!" Albertini waved to Wood, "Come up!"

Wood turned his head left and right to look at the full-back running past him, hesitating.

"Come up!" Albertini waved again and shouted loudly.

Although Donn is interested in Wood's defensive ability, as his teacher on the court, Albertini hopes that Wood can be more comprehensive, like his young self.

Defense isn't the only thing you can do, George.

This time Wood hesitated for a moment or ran up. He actually didn't know what he should do when he came up. When he was in the backcourt, he was as clear as a mind, and very clear about what his task was. He also knew what he should do.

But once he crosses the center line, facing the opponent's defensive formation and seeing the opponent's goal, his brain is a little insufficient. He lacks experience in this area and does not know what to do.

Perhaps he needs to proactively advance in training and competition to accumulate experience in this area.

But Albertini wouldn't plan to give Wood a chance to slowly adapt. This is the rhythm of professional football. If you can't keep up, you will be eliminated!

Albertini received the ball from his teammate Layton; Barnes threw it, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Cambiaso rushing up.

"Don't let him shoot and pass comfortably!" Sanetti shouted from behind.

People on this stadium must be very familiar with the young man wearing AC Milan No. 4 jersey, right? Long shot! Leaf ball!

Albertini swung his feet against Cambiaso.

Will we see that familiar fall arc again at this stadium?

Cambiaso jumped up regardless of his own life and went to block it.

But! Albertini put the football horizontally to George who ran up; Wood!

George; Wood was stunned for a moment, Inter Milan's defensive player had already rushed up. Because it was too close to the penalty area, the person who came up to defend was central defender Matrachi!

Shooting? Wood's brain was blank and he was not prepared at all. Don't shoot? Seeing the opponent's defender coming up, he was also a defensive player, and he knew what this meant.

If the midfielder who was originally responsible for defense rushed up and was intercepted by the opponent, it would be a fatal counterattack. The opportunity of the Forest team would immediately become an opportunity of Inter Milan.

Coach Done did not say that Wood would be involved in the offense in this game, but just told him to be responsible for defense, especially when setting pieces, he had to stay in the backcourt.

Now Albertini violated Donn's order without authorization and called Wood to participate in the attack. If something goes wrong with this, who is responsible?

Wood didn't want Albertini to take responsibility for him, so he couldn't let the football be taken off at his feet. Looking at Matrach who was rushing up fiercely, Wood subconsciously pushed the football outwards and gently...

Matrachi watched the football roll past his feet, but couldn't stop it. He wanted to just knock No. 13 over, no matter what means he used, he wanted to stop the opponent's attack.

So with the idea of ​​"the ball is beyond the reach", Matrach closed his hands in front of his chest and ran towards George and Wood.

Wood was hit hard by Matrach, but what was the result? Before Matrach fell on his back, he did not see Wood lying down on the sky with his feet like him, but shook it slightly and stabilized his body.

He looked at Wood incredibly, fell down like that, and even forgot to reach out to protect his head.

Who is Matrachi? If he deliberately bumped into it, how many people could be like nothing? He couldn't believe that this would happen, but now there is such a person in front of him!

Matrach fell, and the obstacles in front of Wood were gone. He looked at the football rolling under his feet, thought nothing, and went up and kicked!

When Donn saw Wood "bumping" over Matrach, his eyes began to glow, and his body leaned forward, as if he was expecting something. But immediately he saw Wood shoot with all his might but kick the football into the stands behind, and then sat back suddenly.

"Ah, this damn 'future warrior'!"

Inter Milan fans' hearts were almost popping out of their throats just now. Fortunately, Wood's shot with no defense was ridiculously high, so he didn't really jump out of his heart.

However, they became more determined to hate Wood - they believed that Wood knocked down Matrachi in front of the shot.

But this is really ridiculous. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who came to the door on his own initiative.

Wood was still upset about his bad shot, and Albertini smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Beautiful job, George!"

"But I put the ball..."

"No, I'm not talking about shooting. I'm talking about your performance before shooting..." Albertini looked at Matrachi who was pulled from the ground by his teammates, and finally couldn't help laughing loudly.

"If you are playing football in AC Milan, with this performance alone, you will be welcomed by everyone in San Siro now." He winked at Wood.

"But I just want to be in the Forest Team..."

Albertini patted his shoulder and signaled him not to say anything. "Beautiful job, go back to defend."

Wood ran back obediently, but Albertini did not go back to defend. He looked at the back in a daze.

——I just want to be in the Forest Team…

——I just want to be in Milan…

How can I count the vows I made when I was young?

He lowered his head and ran back.

"Dmitrio; Albertini controls the rhythm of Nottingham Forest's game. His fake shots and real passes have caused Inter Milan's defense line to be in chaos. Even George, who never comes forward easily, has a shot because of him. It's a pity that if he lets him play this ball by himself, I'm afraid Julio; Cesar is powerless.
