Every change of the score on the field will have a great impact on the psychology of both players.
After Manchester United scored, inter still have a two goal lead, and the time has entered 70 minutes. If it is an ordinary game, such time can almost be defined as garbage time.
However, this game is too important. Inter have not tasted the taste of Champions League for 45 years. The keen desire for champions makes the fans and players worry about gain and loss. The two goals are still not safe, especially before Rooney's goal, Samuel got a yellow card against Berbatov, which weakens Inter's defensive ability. Here are some suggestions It's going to be harder to defend.
After the game started again, Inter's players contracted more severely. When attacking, the players in the back court were not as active as before, and the mistakes began to increase. The situation looked worse than before Rooney scored.
Eto'o felt the fear of his teammates. As a man who has won two Champions League titles and scored in the Champions League final, Eto'o's mentality is the most relaxed. He immediately yelled to his teammates:
"don't be afraid! We're two goals ahead
"Don't let their momentum rise, go up! Give them a hard time
"Run! Run
……
In the face of this situation, he found Gao Xiaodong for the first time: "Xiaodong! You slow down! Don't let them fight fast! Delay if you can. Tell your teammates what I mean
Eto'o's fighting spirit infected his teammates, and the composure of Jose, as well as his on-the-spot command, soon played a role through Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong began to control the ball. After passing the ball, he immediately raised his hand to come back, trying to control the ball at his feet instead of pushing forward.
Although Manchester United pulled back a goal, it was still early to draw. Now it's time to race against the clock. Seeing Gao Xiaodong deliberately slow down the pace of the game, Scholes and Rooney immediately came to wrap Gao Xiaodong.
Scholes just wants to force Gao Xiaodong to pass the ball, but Rooney has the idea of competing with Gao Xiaodong, waiting for Scholes to get the ball in place and go straight for it.
Rooney and Gao Xiaodong are both strength players and have confidence in their own strength. When they rush to steal, they are also on the ball with their body and feet. Even if they can't touch the ball, they should also use their body advantages to destroy the opponent's center of gravity.
Gao Xiaodong's strength is not inferior to that of Rooney, but Gao Xiaodong doesn't compete with Rooney. He quickly pulls the ball around to avoid Rooney, and then makes a move to the side to avoid the direction of Scholes and take the ball away from the central hinterland.
It's a wise choice. Even if you have confidence in your own protection, you should prevent accidents. Undoubtedly, it's much safer to lose the ball on the side than in the middle.
See Gao Xiaodong do not give up the ball right, winger Giggs also joined the encirclement team, he blocked head-on, and behind Scholes, Rooney completely surrounded Gao Xiaodong in the middle.
Inter's players certainly won't let Gao Xiaodong fight against the three defenders alone. Sneijder and Milito have already come back to meet Gao Xiaodong, but Manchester United's players are too fast. Gao Xiaodong has no way to get out of the ball when he comes to the side.
However, when the Inter fans thought they were going to lose the ball, Gao Xiaodong suddenly picked up the ball and forced it over Giggs.
Although Giggs defense is not strong, but the old demon's experience is rich enough, he will never let Gao Xiaodong past, when he was knocked down by Gao Xiaodong, he extended his foot to hook Gao Xiaodong from behind.
Giggs's foul action is not very obvious, the referee did not see, Rooney rushed from behind to grab the ball.
Gao Xiaodong wanted to wait for the referee's whistle, but the referee didn't blow the foul. He quickly got up and went after Rooney.
Rooney just turned around when he got the ball, Gao Xiaodong had already arrived.
Rooney can pass the ball back to the defender, and then reorganize the attack. But now Manchester United are behind and time is very tight. Rooney wants to touch Gao Xiaodong again. He runs through Gao Xiaodong with the ball.
Gao Xiaodong can't wait for Rooney to fight with him alone. Jose has studied Rooney very carefully and knows where Rooney's weakness lies.
In the face of Wayne Rooney, Gao Xiaodong didn't retreat, but dashed forward and stretched out his foot to steal.
Gao Xiaodong's action is not in line with Gao Xiaodong's obscene style of playing football, but Rooney is very honest, no doubt there is fraud, the ball changes to break through from Gao Xiaodong's left side.
Gao Xiaodong seems to be rash to grab the ball. This is what he is waiting for. Because the speed of Rooney's changing back is not fast enough, Gao Xiaodong is waiting for Rooney to change back before he really steals.
It must be too late to turn around to catch up, but Gao Xiaodong didn't turn around either. He crouched and twisted his waist. His right leg suddenly stretched out from behind his left leg to the left, just blocking Rooney's dribbling line.
It's too late for Rooney to think about changing direction. His man passed, but the ball was intercepted by Gao Xiaodong's right foot.
"Good!"
"Wonderful"Bullshit
"Juggling!"
……
There were cheers in the stands. Even the neutral fans were conquered by Gao Xiaodong's wonderful interception. They cheered and applauded with the fans of Inter Milan.
Gao Xiaodong's juggling interception looks adventurous, but it's actually very steady. Even if he can't intercept it, Gao Xiaodong's defensive action just now can be regarded as a half turn, and he can still catch up quickly, so he won the cheers of the fans.
The applause for Gao Xiaodong is actually a satire on Rooney. Rooney turns to rob Gao Xiaodong in anger, but Gao Xiaodong is ready. Rooney turns and Gao Xiaodong turns, faster than Rooney. Rooney turns and finds that Gao Xiaodong is "invisible" again.
Rooney turned around again, Gao Xiaodong had already dodged the space, passed the ball to Sneijder, and quickly pushed into the middle of Manchester United's penalty area.
See two little fat man fight, honest Rooney was cunning Gao Xiaodong play around, the fans in the stands can't help laughing.
Ferguson frowned on the sidelines and was dissatisfied with Rooney's performance. After Rooney robbed Gao Xiaodong, he should pass the ball quickly instead of breaking through Gao Xiaodong. He doesn't know how cunning and obscene Gao Xiaodong is. Even if he breaks through, he will definitely be fouled.
Now Rooney has not only been teased, but Inter have also broken through the siege of Manchester United's midfield, forming a situation of four men attacking Manchester United's back line and midfield.
This situation is similar to the situation in which inter scored the third goal before. United's only advantage is that the defenders are in their own positions.
He was just worried that Gao Xiaodong was too excited to fight with Rooney and the ball was too sticky at the back, which affected the speed of attack. Now the ball is given to Sneijder, who has the strongest passing ability, which is a great threat to Manchester United's goal.
