Chapter 800 Volume [-] Deep Infrared Instep

From the very beginning of the game, Nottingham Forest took the initiative.

Inter Milan didn't get the right to serve, so they started shrinking defense as soon as they came up, first to stabilize the defense, and then plan to attack.As for Nottingham Forest, they were not polite to them. They made full use of their kick-off advantage, firmly controlled the football at their feet, and were not in a hurry to hit the goal, but patiently dealt with it.

George Wood and Thiago are indeed further back than ever.It seems that the distance between them and Shaheen is farther than before, but in fact the players are not wooden stakes, they will run and intersperse on the field, and the formation when forming troops can only be used as a reference - the distance is far away Didn't Shaheen know that he withdrew to respond?Don't Wood and the others know how to run up by themselves?
Tactics may be dead, but people are definitely alive.

How to use dead tactics flexibly is the level of the players.Some players only know to stick to the head coach's arrangement, one is one, and two is two, they dare not go beyond the threshold, and they don't have any ideas of their own.Such a player is nothing more than an ordinary professional player throughout his life.But some players can generate their own ideas and make their own judgments on the basis of understanding the head coach's tactical intentions. Such people are often master players who can gain insight into the situation on the court and reverse the situation.

When Inter Milan shrunk their defense, Wood and Thiago did not stick to the position of the midfielder, waiting for the opponent to attack.Out of necessary caution, they did not rush forward at the same time, but took turns to advance and participate in the attack.Thiago went up, and George Wood stayed behind to defend and protect.Wood went up and Thiago was in charge of defense.

Nottingham Forest kept the football at their feet and were in no hurry to pass it directly to Inter Milan's goal.At the tactical meeting the day before the game, Twain arranged for Shaheen to start, but he also specifically warned him that if he was not particularly confident in the game, he must not pass the ball through and not give Inter Milan the opportunity to steal the ball and immediately counterattack.I would rather go back and forth on the periphery and pull Inter Milan's defense.

Every time Shaheen got the football, he habitually wanted to make a threatening pass, but when he looked up and saw the Inter Milan defense line in front of him like an impenetrable wall, he remembered the leader warning.So he turned around and passed the football across.

Shaheen passed the ball to Bentley. After Bentley made a cross, seeing that Inter Milan's defense was not in disarray, he sent a long pass to the other side of the pitch.Mathias Fernandez receives the ball and passes it to Leighton Barnes.Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Barnes continued to pass the ball, and this time the football fell to George Wood's feet.

Of course, Inter Milan's players would not shrink back like turtles in their 30-meter zone and let Nottingham Forest back and forth outside.Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was at the top, saw the football fall to Wood's feet, so he rushed up to steal the ball. Under his leadership, the overall formation of Inter Milan began to push out slightly. Finally some gaps appeared.

Wood tucked the football to Rafinha as Ibrahimovic pounced on him.

Rafinha then passed a diagonal pass to Shaheen, and continued to run forward. It seemed that he wanted to cooperate with Shaheen in a two-pass and one-hit wall.

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

Qiwu was paying close attention to Rafinha who advanced forward, while Cambiasso came up to attack Shaheen.

Shaheen did not catch the ball, he just made a movement of catching the ball, then turned around to block Cambiasso, and gave the football to Ibisevic behind him.

"Ibisevic has the ball, he's on the edge of the box now, sideways to the goal, and it looks like he has a chance to shoot!"

Ibisevic didn't shoot, because the moment he was about to lift his foot, he found that Samuel was too close to him to shoot.So he temporarily changed his mind, flicked his ankle, and passed back to George Wood.

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

Although people always say how bad Wood's shooting is, the facts have proved time and time again that this player who shoots badly can always play a jaw-dropping world wave in this place...

He clenched his fists, hoping that the Inter Milan players on the field could still remember what he said to them before the game.

——George Wood is the most dangerous killer at the top of the restricted area!This is not alarmist talk, you must keep this in mind and stop all possibilities of him shooting in this place!
Fortunately, his players haven't forgotten that.Samuel is defending Ibisevic, and they still have someone who can come out to defend Wood.Burdisso stepped forward, intending to block Wood's shocking long-range shot with his body!
Wood flicked his ankle, and after the cheating Burdisso fell off his center of gravity, he pushed the football to Shaheen on the other side!

When Shaheen gave the ball to Ibisevic, he had already turned around and swayed Cambiasso.Now he is facing the goal, and there is not a lot of siege in front of him.

Wood just passed the football in front of Shaheen. As long as he speeds up and rushes into the penalty area, he can directly face Inter Milan's Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar...

"Single sword!!"

The commentator exclaimed excitedly. Nottingham Forest got such a good opportunity just 3 minutes into the game.

Shaheen's explosive power is not that strong, he can fly himself in front of the football with one kick, and then throw away everyone to shoot.In order to try to penetrate the opponent's defense, Wood's passing power is a bit strong.

Shaheen tried his best to rush up, but he didn't achieve the goal of throwing off the defender.

Samuel, Burdisso and Cambiasso rushed at him from three different directions, intending to kill his shot in its infancy.Of course, with the football already in the box, they have to be careful not to foul...

But the goal of these three Argentines has been achieved. They squeezed Shaheen and surrounded him. Now Shaheen can shoot from a very small angle. A football could be poked right away - you can't just do nothing just because it might lead to a foul.Fouling for a tackle may be a rough defender, but not a defender who lets a goal score out of fear of fouling.

If Shaheen wanted to shoot, even if it was a striker who risked a foul and gave a penalty kick, these three people would definitely shovel it!
Shaheen didn't shoot, he fell to the ground with the three of them at the same time, but he just swept the football sideways to the other side...

"Ibisevic!! He's completely unguarded—"

None of the Inter Milan defensive players, including Cesar, noticed Ibisevic. When the football passed to Shaheen's feet, they only had Shaheen in their eyes.But Shaheen passed the football to Ibisevic.

Now most of the goals in front of Ibisevic are empty. What he needs to do is very simple——

"Shoot! GOOOAL!! So easy!"

There was a huge cheer from the Nottingham Forest fans at San Siro.

Ibisevic ran towards the corner flag with arms outstretched, before continuing his slapping celebration.

The Inter Milan players stood there stupidly, still a little bit in disbelief of what they saw-the game only started for more than three minutes, how could they concede a goal?And it was so easy, so simple, so...inexplicable!
They are authorities and may be a little confused.But others can see clearly.

"Beautiful cooperation! The cooperation of Nottingham Forest looks really enjoyable! Modern football has rarely seen such a smooth cooperation in the middle of such a strong player. This offensive launched by George Wood will be Inter Milan. All the defenders have played."

Shaheen's pass was crucial. If he didn't realize that Ibisevic next to him would step in, he would choose to force the shot. Everyone on earth would know what the result would be.It was the moment when he pretended to shoot but fell to the ground and passed the ball, which completely tore apart Inter Milan's tight defense. Ibisevic pushed the football into the goal as easily as if he was facing an empty goal on the training ground.

The Nottingham Forest players waited for Ibisevic to finish his slap, and rushed up to hug him.Off the field, the Forest team's coaching benches and benches had long been huddled together. Tony Twain did not forget to shake his fists in demonstration in front of more than 7 Inter Milan fans. Of course, what he did was once again He won a lot of boos and abuse.But he didn't care, at this moment he was the winner, and those who insulted him were all losers!
As Tang En expected, Mourinho quickly stood up from the coaching bench, and he paced back and forth on the sidelines with some displeasure.Just 3 minutes into the game, Nottingham Forest opened the gap from the middle and scored a valuable away goal.Such a thing is really embarrassing for the Serie A giants Inter Milan.

He knew Tang En's thoughts, so he asked the team to pay attention to defense at the beginning of the game... But he didn't expect that the most difficult middle road became the exclusive corridor of Nottingham Forest. Look at the three of them in the middle road. Cooperating with each other, Inter Milan's three defensive players were completely treated as monkeys, being dragged around by their running passes, and in the end they ignored the real point.

Is there something I didn't do well?
He began to reflect when he was dissatisfied.

It's a pity that he didn't think of a reason until the game restarted.

It can only be attributed to an accident that often occurs on the football field and no one knows when and why it will occur-at a certain period of time, there was a gap in Inter Milan's originally tight defense due to some other factors , So he was caught very keenly by Nottingham Forest.It cannot be said that Inter Milan is too bad, it can only be said that the enemy is too cunning.

※ ※ ※

When the game restarted, Inter Milan suddenly gave up their defense and attacked aggressively on several lines.Nottingham Forest, who was killed for a while, was a little embarrassed.

The players of Nottingham Forest obviously did not expect that Inter Milan would counterattack frantically so quickly-they thought that Inter Milan must not be able to recover from the shock of conceding a goal so quickly at the beginning.

Nottingham's Red Rangers made a mistake, Inter Milan was more difficult to deal with than they thought.

As the home fans overwhelmed the voices of everyone, Inter Milan launched a steady stream of offensives from the midfield, exerting continuous pressure on Nottingham Forest's defense.Inter Milan seems to be testing the limits of Nottingham Forest's spring.

In the 8th minute, after Cambiasso cut off Shaheen's ball, he dribbled the ball forward in the middle but was closely defended by Thiago, and the football was cut off.Fortunately, Montolivo didn't rush too fast, and the broken ball from Thiago just rolled to his feet.Inter Milan's attack continued.

Montolivo did not plan to attack from the center like Cambiasso, he directly distributed the football to Quaresma on the wing.

In other words, Quaresma has been famous for a long time since he was young, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to have a rich name.Whether in Barcelona or today's Inter Milan, the status has never been stable.His gorgeous foot skills seem to be incompatible with the team's overall tactics.Mourinho had very high expectations for him at the beginning, but it is a pity that he could not adapt to Inter Milan's tactics and Italian football style when he came to Italy.His foot skills and outer instep skills, which can win the world's applause in Portugal, can only become the target of the defenders' attention in Italy, and the culprit that drags down the team's offensive tactics.

After adapting for several seasons, Quaresma is still a marginal figure in the Inter Milan lineup.He was allowed to play in this game because Mancini was injured and could not play in this game...

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

Quaresma's condition in today's game seems to be very good. After receiving the ball, his forward movement showed good body flexibility, and then accelerated the Yanbian road breakthrough!

Mathias Fernandez catches up from the rear, intending to steal the ball after overtaking.

Quaresma noticed Fernandez who was approaching him at high speed early. When he calculated that Fernandez was going to steal the ball, he made a sudden stop, hooked the football back with his right foot, and then used his left foot to catch the ball. Pushing the arch of the foot forward, Fernandez was bypassed like this!

Then he started to accelerate again, threw away Fernandez, caught up with the football, and faced Leighton Barnes directly.Not far from Barnes, there is George Wood who is watching eagerly, waiting for him to rush past Barnes and rush to steal the ball.

Seeing Wood beside him, Fernandez gave up chasing.He believes that the captain and Barnes will be able to guard Quaresma.

Barnes didn't guard Quaresma alone, he only let Quaresma stop on one heel and knock the ball.Next, just as Quaresma was about to enter the box, George Wood pounced on him.

The football is on the left side of Quaresma's body at this time. He is a right-footed player and needs to be adjusted. That is Wood's opportunity!

Wood's whole body seemed to be a taut bowstring, his eyes fixed on Quaresma's movements.

He saw Quaresma come to a sudden stop and sway past Barnes before turning around.It is expected that he will first buckle the football back with his left foot, and then take advantage of the opportunity to cut into the penalty area.Wood was going to lie across the road and wait for him to bump into him head-on.

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

Quaresma didn't continue to dribble the ball, he kicked hard with his left foot, turned around and swung his right foot to affect the football... pumping!

At that moment, George Wood's eyes widened, completely unresponsive.Because he saw... Quaresma used the outer instep!
The football flew past Wood's face, drawing a strange arc.Judging by his kicking action, it is not a shot at all, but if it is a cross...

Has anyone seen a cross that spins in the door!
The football leaped high, bypassed everyone in the penalty area, and then fell straight into the far corner of the goal.Goalkeeper Akinfeev was caught off guard. When he jumped up, he stretched out his hand with all his strength and couldn't reach the ball.

Everyone witnessed Quaresma's iconic goal at San Siro.

"What_a_great_GOOOOOAL—"

The football fell from where the post met the crossbar and into the net.

George Wood's eyes followed the football, and his heart sank.what did he seeThe outside instep of the right foot draws the football in an arc, bypasses all defenders, and drills into the goal from the most unlikely angle...

This is really beyond his expectation!

"Quaresma - beautiful goal! After only 5 minutes, he single-handedly equalized for Inter Milan! The player who was once rumored to be purged took his team with such a wonderful goal. Come back! I bet this goal will be in the top ten goals of this season in the Champions League! It's beautiful! The players of Nottingham Forest didn't react to it!"

After the goal, Quaresma was a little excited. He tore his jersey and said words that no one understood.But his teammates didn't care what he was saying, and they rushed him to the ground.

Mourinho also stood up from the coach's bench and shook his fist vigorously.It was really lucky to equalize the score so quickly... He was still worried about what would happen to the game if he continued to let Nottingham Forest lead.

It's all right now... He turned his head to look at Tony Twain, who was furious at the side, with a smug smile on his face.

The lead is fleeting, and it's still in my home court.I want to see how you fight next, Tony Twain!
