Chapter 121: Outer back

Nottingham Forest took the initiative from the beginning of the game.

Inter Milan did not get the right to serve, so they contracted their defense as soon as they came up, first solidified the defense, and then planned to attack. And Nottingham Forest was not polite to them, making full use of their advantage in kickoff and keeping the ball firmly under their feet. They did not rush to hit the goal, but instead dealt with it patiently.

George Wood and Thiago are indeed farther back than before. It seems that the distance between them and Shahin is farther than before, but in fact, the players are not wooden stakes. They will keep running and interspersing on the field. The formation of troops when they are deploying the formation can only be used as a reference - the distance is far, doesn’t Shahin know that he withdraws to pick him up? Don’t Wood and the others know that he runs up?

Tactics may be dead, but people are definitely alive.

How to flexibly use dead tactics is the level of the players. Some players only know how to stick to the head coach's arrangements, one is one, two is two, and dare not step beyond the line, and have no idea. Such players are just ordinary professional players in their lives. However, some players can develop their own ideas and make their own judgments based on understanding the head coach's tactical intentions. Such people are often master-level players, who can understand the situation on the court and turn the situation around.

When Inter Milan contracted its defense, Wood and Thiago did not stand firmly in the midfielder position, waiting for the opponent to attack. Out of necessary caution, they did not rush up at the same time, but instead took turns to participate in the attack. Thiago went up, George Wood stayed behind to defend and protect. Wood went up, and Thiago was responsible for the defense.

Nottingham Forest controls the football at his feet and does not rush to pass the football directly to Inter Milan's goal. At the tactical meeting the day before the game, Don Eun arranged for Shahin to start, but he also specifically warned him if he was not particularly sure in the game. He must not pass the ball directly, and do not give Inter Milan the opportunity to intercept the ball and fight back immediately. He would rather fall back and forth on the periphery and pull Inter Milan's defense line before talking about it.

Every time Shahin got the football, he habitually wanted to threaten the pass, but when he looked up and saw the Inter Milan defense line that was crossed in front of him, he remembered his boss's warning. So he turned around and passed the football horizontally.

Shaheen passed it to Bentley. After Bentley made a cross, he saw that Inter Milan's defense was not messy, so he passed it directly to the other side of the court with a long pass. Matthias Fernandez received the ball and passed it to Leiden Barnes who was inserted afterwards. Barnes saw that the opportunity was not good, so he continued to pass the ball. This time the football fell at George Wood's feet.

Of course, Inter Milan players would not really crouch in their thirty-meter area like a turtle, let Nottingham Forest fall back and forth outside. Ibrahimovic, who was heading in the front, rushed up to intercept the ball. Under his leadership, Inter Milan's overall formation began to be slightly pressed out, and some gaps finally appeared in the originally airtight formation.

Wood stuffed the football to Rafina when he waited for Ibrahimovic to jump up.

Rafinia passed to Shahin again and continued to run forward, as if she wanted to cooperate with Shahin with two passes and one wall.

Inter Milan players are not fools, how can they tolerate such clichéd and simple cooperation in front of themselves?

Ziwu was paying close attention to Dilafina. Cambiaso came up to pounce Shahin.

Shahin did not catch the ball. He just made a catch move, then turned around to block Cambiaso and gave the ball to Ibisevic behind him.

"Ibisevic received the ball, and he is now on the edge of the penalty area. He is facing the goal sideways, and it seems he has a chance to shoot!"

Ibisevic did not shoot because the moment he was about to raise his foot, he found that Samuel was very close to him. It was not suitable for shooting. So he changed his mind temporarily, shook his ankle and passed it back to George Wood.

This pass is so familiar to Mourinho - the forward is facing away from the goal, Wood is facing away from the goal, and the football is passed to him from the forward position. He can shoot directly without stopping the ball at all.

Although people always say how bad Wood's shots are, the facts have proved time and time again that this player with a bad shot can always make a shocking world wave in this place...

He clenched his fists, hoping that the Inter Milan players on the court could still remember their words to them before the game.

——George Wood is the most dangerous killer in the top of the penalty area! This is not alarmist. You must keep this in mind and stop him from shooting in this place!

Fortunately, his players did not forget this. Samuel is defending Ibissevic, and they still have someone to come out to defend Wood. Burdiso stepped forward and planned to use his body to set off Wood's shocking long-range shot!

Wood's ankle shook, and after he tricked Burdiso into falling out of the center of gravity, he pushed the football to Shahin on the other side!

When Shahin gave the ball to Ibisek, he had already completed the move to turn around and swing past Cambiaso. Now he is facing the goal. And there is no heavy siege ahead.

Wood happened to pass the football in front of Shahin. As long as he accelerated and rushed into the penalty area, he could directly face Inter Milan's Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar...

"One kill!!"

The commentator shouted excitedly.                                                           �

Shahin's explosive power is not that powerful. He can fly to the front of the football with just kicking his legs, and then throw everyone away and shoot. In order to strive to penetrate the opponent's defense, Wood's passing power is a bit strong.

Shahin rushed forward hard, but did not hit the goal of throwing away the defensive players.

Samuel, Burdiso and Cambiaso rushed to him from three different directions, intending to kill his shot in the cradle. Of course, since the football has entered the penalty area, they still have to be careful not to foul...

But the three Argentinas have achieved their goal. They squeezed Shahin and surrounded him. Now Shahin can shoot at a very small angle. Under the heavy surround, even if he just lifted his legs to shoot, the football on the ground might be poked out immediately - you can't do nothing because it may cause a foul. A foul because of a tackle may be a rough defender, but if the opponent shoots and scores because of fear of a foul, it is not a qualified defender.

If Shahin wants to shoot, even if he risked a foul to give a penalty, these three people would definitely tackle down!

Shahin didn't shoot, and he and the three of them fell to the ground at the same time, but he just swept the football to the other side...

"Ibisevic!! He has no defense at all--"

No Inter Milan defensive player, including Cesar, noticed Ibisevic. When the football was passed to Shahin, they only had Shahin's eyes. But Shahin passed the football to Ibisevic.

Now, most of the goal in front of Ibisevic is empty, and what he needs to do is simple-

"Shot! goooal!! It's so easy!"

Nottingham Forest fans cheered hugely at the Meacha Stadium.

Ibisevic ran to the corner flag with his arms wide open, and then continued his slap in the face.

Inter Milan players stood there stupidly, and couldn't believe what they saw - the game had only started for more than three minutes, so why did they lose the ball? And it was so easy, so simple, so...inexplicable!

They are the authorities and may be a little confused. But others can see it clearly.

"Beautiful cooperation! Nottingham Forest's cooperation looks like a real pleasure! Modern football has rarely seen such a strong playing field and such a smooth cooperation. The offensive launched by George Wood made all Inter Milan's defenders play. "

Shahin's pass is very important. If he is not aware that Ibissevic will penetrate the next door, he will choose to shoot forcibly. Everyone on earth knows what the result will be. It is the time when he pretended to shoot but fell to the ground to pass the ball. He completely tore Inter Milan's tight defense line. Ibissevic was as easy as facing an empty goal on the training ground, pushing the football into the goal.

After Ibissevic finished slapping, the players of Nottingham Forest rushed up and hugged him. The coaching and benches of the Forest team off the court had already been together. Tony Donn did not forget to wave his fists in front of more than 70,000 Inter Milan fans. Of course, his actions once again won a lot of booing and insulting himself. But he didn't care. At this moment, he was the winner, and those who insulted him were losers!

As Donne expected, Mourinho quickly stood up from the coach's seat, and he paced back and forth on the sidelines with some discomfort.                                                                                                            �

He knew Don En's mind. So he asked the team to pay attention to defense at the beginning of the game... But unexpectedly, the most difficult middle lane became the exclusive corridor of Nottingham Forest. Looking at the cooperation between the three of them in the middle lane, the three defensive players of Inter Milan were completely fooled by monkeys, and were pulled around by their running passes, and in the end they ignored the real focus.

Did I not do it properly?

He began to reflect while being dissatisfied.

Unfortunately, until the game started again, he didn't think of anything.

It can only be attributed to the fact that it often appears on the football field and no one knows when or why it happens. At a certain period of time, Inter Milan's originally tight defense had a gap due to some other factors, so it was very keenly caught by Nottingham Forest. It cannot be said that Inter Milan is too bad. It can only be said that the enemy is too cunning.

The game started again. Inter Milan suddenly gave up the defensive and actively attacked on several lines. Nottingham Forest was a little embarrassed when he killed for a while.

The players of Nottingham Forest obviously did not expect Inter Milan to counterattack so quickly - they thought Inter Milan would not be able to recover from the shock of losing the ball at the beginning so quickly.

The Red Rangers in Nottingham made a mistake. Inter Milan is even harder to deal with than they thought.

Amid the sounds of home fans, Inter Milan launched a continuous attack from the midfield, continuously putting pressure on the Nottingham Forest defense line. Inter Milan seems to be testing the limit of the Nottingham Forest spring.

In the eighth minute, after Cambiaso cut off Shahin's ball, he dribbled the ball in the middle but was tightly defended by Thiago and the football was cut off. Fortunately, Montolivo did not rush too fast. Thiago's interrupted ball just rolled under his feet. Inter Milan's offense continued.

Montolivo did not intend to attack from the middle like Cambiaso, and he directly distributed the football to Quaresma on the sidelines.

By the way, Quaresma has become famous for a long time at a young age, but unfortunately he does not seem to be famous for his wealthy family. Whether in Barcelona or in Inter Milan today, his status has never been stable. His gorgeous foot skills seem to be incompatible with the overall tactics of the team. Mourinho had high expectations for him at first, but unfortunately, when he came to Italy, he could not adapt to Inter Milan's tactics and Italian football style. His foot skills and external foot skills that could win cheers from the world in Portugal can only become the target of being taken care of by the defenders in Italy. The culprit of the offensive tactics that dragged the entire team.

After adapting to several seasons, Quaresma is still a marginal figure in Inter Milan's lineup. This game made him go to Mancini Jr. and was unable to play in this game...

But don't underestimate this Portuguese because of this. Although he sometimes seems out of place with the team's tactics, his individual combat ability is still very powerful. Mourinho may also hope to use Quaresma's personal ability to restrain the Forest's attack on the left side.

Quaresma seemed to be in good shape in this game today. His follow-up movement after receiving the ball demonstrated a good physical flexibility, and then accelerated the breakthrough on Yanbian Road!

Matthias Fernandez caught up from the back and planned to overtake the ball.

Quaresma noticed that Zhengyao was approaching his land Fernandez at high speed. He calculated that when Fernandez made a foot break, he suddenly stopped, hooked the ball back with his right foot, and pushed forward with his left foot arch, and bypassed Fernandez!

Then he started to accelerate again, throwing away Fernandez. He caught up with the football and faced Leiden Barnes directly. Not far away from Barnes, there was George Wood who was eyeing him, waiting for him to swing past Barnes and rushed up to intercept the ball.

Fernandez saw Wood beside him and gave up chasing him back. He believed that the captain and Barnes could definitely defend Quaresma.

Barnes did not defend Quaresma alone. He only let Quaresma stop with a heel and hit the ball. Next, just as Quaresma was about to enter the penalty area, George Wood rushed towards him.

At this time, the football was on the left side of Quaresma's body. He was a right-footed player and needed to adjust, that was Wood's chance!

Wood was like a tight bowstring, staring at Quaresma's movements.

He saw Quaresma stop and sway past Barnes. He began to turn around. He expected that he would first use his left foot to slam the football back and then cut into the penalty area. Wood planned to sit on the road and wait for him to hit him.

But then he saw a scene that made him widen his eyes—

Quaresma did not continue to dribble the ball. He kicked the ground with his left foot, turned around and swung his right foot to affect the football...draw!

At that moment, George Wood's eyes widened and he had no reaction at all. Because he saw... Quaresma was using the outer instep!

The football flew past Wood's face and drew a strange arc. The action of his footing was not a shot at all, but it was a cross...

Has anyone seen the passing of the sect?

The football jumped high and bypassed everyone in the penalty area, then fell straight to the far corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Akinfeyev was caught off guard, and when he jumped up, he tried his best to reach the ball but could no longer reach the ball.

Everyone witnessed Quaresma's signature goal at the Meazza Stadium.

“what_a_great_goooooal——”

The football fell from the junction of the goal post and the beam and fell into the net.

George Wood's eyes followed the football. His heart also sank. What did he see? He pulled the football out of the outside of his right foot. He bypassed all the defensive players and drilled into the goal from the most impossible angle...

This was completely beyond his expectations!

"Quaresma - a beautiful goal! Just five minutes later. He single-handedly equalized the score for Inter Milan! This player, who was once legendary about to be cleaned, pulled his team back with such a exquisite goal! I bet that this goal will definitely be among the top ten goals in the Champions League this season! So beautiful! The players of Nottingham Forest have no response to this goal!"

Quaresma was a little excited after scoring the goal. He tore the jersey and said something no one understood. But his teammates didn't care what he was saying, and rushed to the ground.

Mourinho also stood up from the coach's seat and waved his fists hard. It was really lucky to tie the score so quickly... He was worried before that if Nottingham Forest continued to lead, what would the game situation look like.

Now... he turned his head and looked at Tony Donn, who was furious on the side, with a smug smile on his face.
Chapter completed!
