Chapter 807 Volume Six Scarlet Poor Quaresma
When the Inter Milan players shook hands with the Forest players, they felt that the murderous intent of these people was stronger than in the previous game.They couldn't figure it out-it's Nottingham Forest that has the advantage now, why are they still so aggressive?We should be the ones who should be murderous, right?
Stadiums in England are generally relatively small, and urban stadiums can accommodate up to 3 people. However, in the ears of Italians, the volume erupting from this small stadium cannot be underestimated.The stadium is smaller, the crowds are closer together, and any sound that is made is more likely to be concentrated on the field.

In a stadium like San Siro, the distance between the stands is farther and higher, and the players cannot see the fans in the stadium, so the psychological pressure is not particularly great.But in a typical English stadium like the City Stadium, they can even see the hairs in the nostrils of the fans behind the goal when they shoot, and can clearly hear every swear word from the fans.That kind of pressure is not something you can experience in a stadium.

From the very beginning of the game, the fans at the City Stadium put tremendous pressure on the Inter Milan players. They used boos, insults, and actions to disturb the Inter Milan fans.Such an atmosphere at home made Mourinho frown.

In view of Quaresma's outstanding performance in the last round of the game, Mourinho arranged for him to start again in this game.Hope to use his personal skills to attack Nottingham Forest's defense.

In theory, this arrangement is not a big problem-in the face of a team that is good at overall defense, sometimes relying on the individual performance of the stars may receive unexpected results.

But when Quaresma pulled the ball out of bounds in a stop, he was greeted with laughter and boos from the entire Nottingham Forest crowd.Being ridiculed at such a close distance made him nervous, and his performance also became abnormal.

As a result, Mourinho can no longer count on him to bring any positive changes to the team's attack...

The Forest fans spared no effort to fight against Inter Milan. As long as they made a slight mistake, they would immediately get a tsunami of laughter and boos.And every touch of the ball by the Nottingham Forest players brought thunderous applause to themselves.

That's home field advantage...

※ ※ ※

Quaresma is a player who is like a knife. He was in excellent form in the last round of the match between the two teams and scored a world wave.He was out of shape in this game.

Once he failed to break through Barnes' defense on the wing and forced a kick to shoot, but the shot from the outside of his instep flew directly out of the baseline, thousands of miles away from the goal.His so-called blind shot made Ibrahimovic, who was waiting in the middle to respond to the cross, so dissatisfied that he waved his arm vigorously, signaling that Quaresma should pass the ball instead of shooting himself.But Quaresma was lowering his head to regret the mistake just now, and he didn't pay attention to the Swedish striker at all.

Later, when he was about to break through from the wing, he was successfully intercepted by George Wood. The football did not go out of bounds, but he turned it over.Quaresma, who fell to the ground, complained to the referee that Wood was fouled, but did not get a positive response from the referee. He did not whistle, which means that Wood did not foul.Quaresma jumped up from the ground angrily, waving his arms and complaining endlessly, completely ignoring Wood's offensive under his nose.

And his behavior this time also made Mourinho very dissatisfied.Right behind Quares' horse, he yelled at his fellow Portuguese: "What the hell are you doing? Ricciardo! Get back to racing!"

After being scolded by the head coach, Quaresma became more honest.But soon he became "active" again - Quaresma was not in a good state in this game, but he was very excited.As long as there is a little physical contact, he will raise his hand to signal a foul to the referee.If you lose the ball, it must be due to the opponent's small moves, and if you can't get through, the opponent must rely on your body to hit hard... Not only is he very excited in offense, but he also frequently moves too much in defense, which is really worrying. Before the end of the half, he got two yellow cards and went off.

Those people obviously worried too much.

Quaresma didn't get a single yellow card, but he left the field anyway...

After Wood broke Quaresma's foot, he didn't pass it out immediately. Instead, he observed the situation on the court and decided to take the ball himself.

That's a good thing for Quaresma, who is being held back.Because he can fight back on the spot, and then beat the Forest team by surprise!
Just do it, Quaresma went around to Wood's side, pulled Wood's clothes and stole it.Just when he had just stepped out, Wood started and turned Quaresma's body on the ground.Then……

Quaresma screamed, let go of Wood's jersey, and lay on the ground covering his right knee.His face was pale with pain, it didn't look like he was pretending...

Wood glanced at Quaresma, who was lying on the ground, hesitated and kicked the football over the touchline.

Everyone was not prepared enough for this unexpected event on the field.The narrator froze for a moment before saying: "Quaresma is injured...how did he get injured?" A replay of the scene just now appeared on the TV.

Quaresma took Wood's clothes with his hands, hoping to slow down Wood's speed and give himself a chance to tackle.His idea is quite good, but who would have thought that Wood's strength is so great, and his explosive power is so terrifying!
At the moment when Quaresma supported his right foot and stretched out his left foot to steal the ball, Wood suddenly started and brought him up.Wood's strength drove other parts of his body to rotate forward around the right foot. Since the right foot was still stuck in the turf and did not keep up with the rhythm of the body, a very strange scene occurred-the body of Quaresma had already He turned almost 360 degrees, and his right foot was still in the same position as before...

Everyone knows what this shot means.

No one's knee survived such extreme twisting.

So Quaresma fell to the ground slumped, clutching his knees, and screamed in pain.

"Oh, God..." The commentator's tone of voice was not normal, and he was also frightened by the tragedy.The moment when the knee twisted and deformed was replayed in slow motion and presented to everyone in a real and cruel way. Not everyone can talk and laugh as usual without changing their expressions.

"I think Quaresma's knee has been seriously sprained. He will definitely not be able to last the game." In fact, this is a conservative estimate. The horses were scrapped this season.

Before the referee signaled, Inter Milan's team medical team rushed onto the pitch, anyway, the injury site was very close to Inter Milan's bench.Pulling away Quaresma's hand covering his knee, Franco_Combi (Franco_Combi), the chief team doctor of the Inter Milan club, couldn't help but gasped when he saw his right leg.

The calf was tilted to the side of the thigh in an absolutely unnatural position, and it looked as if it wasn't a Quaresma's calf, because normal human leg joints don't work that way.This can only show that Quaresma's knee joint has been fractured.

Despite this, Comby also comforted the painful Quaresma: "Okay, okay, no big problem..." He has already made a gesture to Mourinho for a substitution.

"I feel... I can't feel my, my right leg..." Quaresma lay on the ground crying bitterly. Although the team doctor had been comforting him, he already knew what happened.As a professional football player, there is nothing more painful than a broken leg.

The Quaresma, who was as lively as a rabbit just now, is lying powerlessly on the ground at this moment, with his right calf tilted aside, the sweat caused by the pain mixed with the tears gushing from his eyes, and it has long been indistinguishable. Cleared up.

Even the Nottingham Forest players showed unbearable expressions on their faces when they saw this scene.The boos originally aimed at Inter Milan in the stands also gradually subsided, and the city stadium, which can accommodate 3 people, suddenly fell silent.

The stretcher was ready, and four staff members carefully put Quaresma on the stretcher, while Comby covered his injured right leg with a blanket and was about to be carried off the field.

Although this injury was not caused by Wood's foul, it has nothing to do with him.Wood has been on the sidelines since Quaresma was injured and fell to the ground.It wasn't until Quaresma was lifted that he walked over and patted the other person's shoulder lightly.He's certainly not hurt, but don't think he doesn't know what it's like.He has always been guilty of Eastwood's serious injury caused by his recklessness and ignorance. If he didn't do it on purpose, he would like to avoid it as much as possible.

Quaresma felt someone pat him on the shoulder, and he thought it was his teammate and didn't care.He was covering his face with his hands and was suffering from his injury, so how could he care about other things?
It is definitely impossible for Quaresma to play. Not only that, he must be sent to the local hospital in Nottingham immediately for treatment, and then fly back to Milan after the game is over.

His injury also completely disrupted Mourinho's arrangements. Mancini's injury was not healed, and he was not brought to England at all. Quaresma was seriously injured again. Mourinho had no choice but to send The 32-year-old Stankovic came on.

After Dunn saw Stankovic play, he crossed his legs on the coach's bench.This means that he is now in a relaxed mood.

"Although I also regret that Quaresma suffered such a serious injury, for us, this is an opportunity. Now the shock in the hearts of Inter Milan players has not dissipated, and the sudden substitution will inevitably bring some chaos. If we can seize this opportunity, we can completely solve the game." He said to the two assistant coaches next to him.

"David, go tell the players to step up the attack, now is a good time to score goals."

Chris Rucker led the way.His voice is very loud, not inferior to Tony Twain, and more importantly, his voice is not as hoarse as Twain's. When he yells, he may lose his voice, but it can be heard clearly by people in the distance. .Therefore, if it is not necessary to communicate the latest instructions during the game, Chris Lak will execute them.

Chris Lack stood on the sidelines and told the Nottingham Forest players with a loud voice and hand gestures: Don't be affected by the injury of an opponent's player, now is our great opportunity to score!

If anyone thinks that when Quaresma was injured, the fans of Nottingham Forest showed enough kindness and respect, so that the atmosphere of the subsequent games will be slightly eased, which is more conducive to the performance of the visiting team, then he is very wrong. wrong.

Not long after the game started again, there were laughter and boos directed at the Inter Milan players in the stadium stands, and it was impossible to see that they had any sympathy... As fans, they "distinguish between public and private", Quaré It is a personal feeling to keep quiet when Smart is injured, but it is a business matter when it involves the game between the two sides.

Although Dunn asked the whole team to strengthen their offense and try to score goals.But Mourinho didn't make any more mistakes. After he saw Tang En's intentions, he immediately ordered the team to shrink and pay attention to defense. During this period of time, Nottingham Forest would not be able to take advantage of it.

They have done a good job, Nottingham Forest's offensive is strong, but they lack a one-hit kill method.Ibisevic was tightly entangled by Inter Milan's defenders, and he did not hesitate to use lethal tactics against Shahin Mourinho, and the defense of the two wings was the most important.At the same time, the team is also required to pay close attention to the back-up assists of George Wood and Thiago.

In short, do not leave a little chance for the Forest team.

The game was deadlocked.The two sides were more entangled in the midfield, with few chances to shoot, and the game was not very good.

But this was different from the first round. Of course it would be good to score. If they were in a stalemate like this, Dunn would not feel anxious, because he had two away goals in hand.Even if the game is scored 0:0, Nottingham Forest will qualify.

So at home, Twain's core tactic for this game is still "defensive counterattack".

This word that made countless opponents gnash their teeth, whenever Dunn needed a result, he would make his debut.He is the representative of Tony Twain's "conservative football" and "utilitarian football".

George Wood and Thiago are equipped with double defensive midfielders, focusing on defense. Cohen and Fernandez retreat to become full-backs instead of attacking wide-backs. They also take into account defense while attacking. Leighton Barnes The two full-backs and Rafinha no longer assisted as frequently as in the first round, and their main job was defense.Even attacking players like Shaheen and Ibisevic are required to pay attention to counter-attacks on the spot. Ibisevic even returns to the penalty area to clear the ball with a header when defending a set kick.

Dutch football is total defense, Tony Twain's football is total defense and half defense.No wonder people say he is utilitarian...

Inter Milan, which has lost the flying wing Quaresma, really has no better way to capture Nottingham Forest.

The winner or loser who breaks the balance of the top competition may be: the coach's decision on the spot, the star's personal performance, a counterattack, a set kick, or a mistake.

But it is a pity that none of the above conditions occurred until the end of the first half.The coaches of both sides are seeking stability, striving for the fewest mistakes, while waiting for the opponent to make mistakes.And the stars are also limited under the constraints of the overall tactics.

At the end of the first half, Mourinho's face was gloomy, while Tang En was smiling.If this situation continues, Nottingham Forest will be promoted!
