Chapter 166 We are the champions
Bernabeu Stadium, inside the locker room in Inter Milan.
Mourinho made the tactics for the last time and then began the final mobilization.
"I don't need to say much about the importance of this game, because, I see the light in your eyes, I know what that is, this is the desire for a championship! It's a wonderful season, and your performance deserves any championship trophy!"
"In terms of strength, Manchester City is definitely not as good as us. Such opponents need to be more patient, because they may be based on defense. This team's defensive counterattack is very sharp. Although we have never played against them, we have analyzed their game video countless times, and you should know what you think. So, after the game begins, don't worry. Play according to our pre-match deployment, and the victory must belong to us!"
As the players set off, Mourinho stood at the door of the locker room, shook hands with each player and patted their shoulders, as if an old marshal was seeing off the soldiers who were about to go to war.
After the simple and grand, spectacular final, the 2009/2010 Champions League final began with the whistle of the referee Busaka from Switzerland.
Not long after the game started, Mourinho frowned.
"Inter Milan is in trouble," said the Italian commentator. "They didn't seem to expect Manchester City to attack with all their strength at the beginning of the final... Generally speaking, in games like the Champions League final, few teams will attack with all their strength at the beginning of the game. Manchester City caught Inter Milan off guard."
Mourinho did not expect Manchester City to dare to attack wildly in the finals.
With only five or six minutes on the opening game, Manchester City really threatened the goal guarded by Cesar and almost scored.
Zhang Yang received a pass from Tevez, turned around and got rid of Zivo, opened the shot and directly shot with one shot.
Cesar made a wonderful flying save, the football bounced to the side, and Modric, who followed up, tried to shovel, but fortunately, Sanetti cleared the football in time.
Manchester City's attack made Inter Milan a little panicked and his defense was a little embarrassed.
Despite the failure of this attack, Zhang Yang was still excited to beat his chest hard and gestured to the Manchester City fans in the stands to arouse the fans' emotions.
In fact, after coming out of the player corridor and entering the Bernabeu Stadium, Zhang Yang was in a state of excitement.
He is the captain of Manchester City. When he shook hands with Zanetti and exchanged team flags, Zhang Yang's expression was excited and eager to try, hoping that the game would start immediately, which contrasted with Zanetti's calmness. The commentator also sighed that this was the handshake and dialogue between the captain of the youngest team participating in the Champions League finals and a respectable old captain.
The reporters and commentators in the media seat were surprised because, after the game began, Manchester City firmly grasped the initiative in the game.
This is very different from their analysis before the game. Before the game, the media and some football celebrities were generally optimistic about Inter Milan. The Milan Sports even listed the "Seven reasons why Inter Milan will definitely win the championship":
First: The Inter Milan is more resilient now!
This is what Italian media appreciates most.
Compared with the past season where the sturdy and almost boring, Inter Milan won the championship this season so thrilling that Inter Milan fans shuddered. Especially in the sprint stage, when old opponents AC Milan and Juventus caught fire in the backyard, they suddenly came out when they were preparing to withdraw the troops. Cheng Yaojin, who even surpassed Inter Milan with only 5 rounds left in the league! But it was also this twists and turns that reflects the maturity and chaos of Inter Milan today. They did not panic because of Rome's emergence, but ended with a perfect victory with a five-game winning streak. Roma did not have the calmness of Inter Milan, and was in a mess under pressure.
The champion handed over to the Neptune. Inter Milan's calmness comes from its rule over the Apennine Peninsula in the past three years, but this thrilling championship also gave Neptune a little more experience. Looking at the statistics, this season in which Inter Milan was in trouble is actually not different from the past: the most wins, the fewest losses, the most goals, the fewest goals conceded, and the unbeaten at home... so balanced that it is impeccable, Inter Milan still makes the league's opponents feel desperate for the fourth consecutive year. Inter Milan has already lost in the league, and the players are only one Champions League champion. No one can compare to the hunger of the "Big Ear Cup"!
Second: Mourinho, Inter Milan, has injected the resilience of the Champions League! With Mourinho's creation, this Inter Milan has performed better and better in the Champions League, especially after entering the knockout stage, and its performance is even more reassuring.
Third: The veteran led by Sanetti has a good integration with Mesozoic players such as Sneider and young players such as Balotelli.
Fourth: Without Ibrahimovic, Inter Milan's offense is more diversified, Diego.
Milito and Etoo are extremely sharp.
Fifth: The combination of Lucio and Samoel's central defender is reassuring.
Sixth: Inter Milan has a foundation that is unmatched by Manchester City.
Seventh: Inter Milan should win the championship once.
In a word, Italy is still very confident that Inter Milan won Manchester City and won the 2009/2010 European Champions League championship. It even believes that Inter Milan will win the game in a relatively advantageous way.
However, now that the game started, the Italians found that it seemed that the game was not as beautiful as they thought.
Inter Milan is somewhat inadequate for Manchester City's offensive at the beginning, so now the situation on the court is controlled by Manchester City. The ball is controlled by Manchester City, and Inter Milan can only run away. Due to insufficient preparation for Manchester City to attack, they don't even know what to do. Some people want to follow Mourinho's tactics to stabilize the defense and then counterattack. However, some people think that if Manchester City pushes forward in full, there will inevitably be loopholes in the defense line. This is Inter Milan's opportunity. They should increase their offensive efforts and strive for goals!
If the two sides have different opinions, they can do it together if they are on the court. If they do it together, they will be able to get involved by their opponents.
Mourinho's expression was not good, and he also saw that the team's tactical thinking is now chaotic. Mourinho was very angry. He arranged it before the game. Although it was probably insufficient for Manchester City's offensive strength, he had told the players a long time ago to be patient! Whether it is offense or defense, don't panic, keep it steady!
At this moment, Manchester City once again completed an extremely threatening shot.
"Zhang Yang! Beautiful pass, Tevez received the ball and shot! Oh, what a pity!"
Cesar held the football firmly in his arms, and then he threw the ball with his hands to launch an attack without waiting for Manchester City players to return to defense.
Inter Milan's counterattack speed was very sharp. Etoo received a pass from Sneijder and used his speed to continuously break through Richards and Bridge. He followed a shot and passed the hands of Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart, but hit the post! He missed the goal!
Mourinho saw the shot hit the post and regretfully jumped straight.
However, Inter Milan's counterattack still made Mourinho's eyes shine, and he immediately made a decision.
With a chance to die, Mourinho called the team captain Zanetti to teach the opportunity on the sidelines.
Zanetti will work harder, pay more attention to assisting in defense of the gaps after Macon, and Cambiaso will also invest more in the attack. Mourinho saw the gaps after Manchester City was pushed out, and Inter Milan also invested more offensive forces to seize the opportunity and score goals!
At this time, Manchester City is organizing an offense.
Zabaleta passed the ball to De Jong, who did not dribble the ball, but pushed the ball to Modric.
Modric passed the ball over and then dribbled the ball forward. After attracting Cambiaso's robbery, he passed the ball directly to Sabaleta on the wing.
Zabaleta dribbled the ball and after attracting Inter Milan's defensive center of gravity to this side, he suddenly transferred the football to the feet of Richards who was receiving the ball from the other side.
Richards caught the ball and then passed the middle.
Ellano came up to pick him up, leaning against Sanetti, knocked on his heel, and the football continued to roll forward. Then people saw a man rushing up, rushing the football, and taking the ball in.
"Zhang Yang! Zhang Yang!" The English commentator shouted excitedly. Like him, there were Manchester City fans in the stands. Every time they saw Zhang Yang pick up the ball, they would burst into loud cheers.
Seeing Zhang Yang dribbling the ball, Mourinho stood up from the coach's seat all of a sudden. Zhang Yang was his most worried. Mourinho described his players like this: As long as Zhang Yang is restricted, Manchester City will be able to qualify for the League Cup, let alone win the Premier League championship!
This sentence shows Mourinho's emphasis on Zhang Yang!
Samoel has been following Zhang Yang, and he dare not make any moves easily.
Lucio came up and rushed towards Zhang Yang. However, the Brazilian robbed him too hard. Zhang Yang changed direction and passed by Lucio.
"Idiot! How could Zhang Yang be so powerful!" Mourinho was so angry on the sidelines that he cursed. He could only count on Samoel to stop Zhang Yang.
When Zamoel saw Lucio's interception failed, he put his heart on his feet and accelerated his feet, he had to get close to Zhang Yang. Since Zhang Yang only had goalkeeper Cesar and the goal ahead, he was not going to make a foul. If he was fouled at this position, he would get a card. If he was lucky, he would get a yellow card or even a red card.
Samoel wants to force Zhang Yang closely and interfere with Zhang Yang's shot!
However, Zhang Yang did not give Samoel a chance to force himself. He suddenly changed direction again. When Samoel also moved his footsteps, Zhang Yang suddenly shot!
Seeing Zhang Yang swing his right leg, Samoel knew something was wrong. He fell to the ground decisively and shoveled down!
However, Zhang Yang's shooting was faster. Before the shoe sling of Samoel's sneakers hit the football football, the football had already left the ground and flew up!
Samoel's tackle did not touch the football, but it interfered with the sight of his goalkeeper Cesar!
It was too late to wait for Cesar to see the ball clearly and try to change his movement direction!
The football drew an arc and hit the net!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!! We scored! Manchester City scored! Zhang's goal! Great Zhangyang! All-powerful Zhangyang! Great goal! Great Captain! The critical moment, we still have to look at the captain of Manchester City!! The goal after two consecutive games in the finals was a classic goal that could not be more classic! This is Manchester City's goal in the Champions League final!! This is Manchester City's goal! ZHANG!! ZHANG! - 1 to zero! One to zero! We are Manchester City! Manchester City!" When Zhang Yang scored the football, the Manchester commentator began to comment on the crazy. After he shouted out GOAL, he continued to roar, roared wildly, and shouted at the top of his lungs, almost crying.
Chapter completed!
