Chapter 335 Inter Milan's Double Forwards
Why Milito can become Inter Milan's starting player is something that many fans and even commentators cannot understand.

In terms of personal performance, both Balotelli and the newcomer Pandev seem to be better than him, and it is visible to the naked eye.

And from a functional point of view, the abilities of Li Ze and Milito seem to be a bit repetitive.

Both of them are very good centers, and their ability to serve as a fulcrum in the frontcourt is very good.

Now that traditional centers are slowly being eliminated, it seems outrageous to have two center forwards start as partners.

But in fact, Li Ze and Milito are not that kind of traditional centers.

In the future, Inter Milan's Ilkardi may be counted. Except for his header and shooting ability, he is not good at anything else, just like a traditional center.

But Li Ze and Milito are not. The two have a strong ability to seize opportunities, and their ability to dribble and hold the ball is also very strong.

The biggest difference is that Ilkardi can only shoot as soon as possible after receiving the ball, and the slower he is, the smaller the chance of scoring.

This made his tactical role very small, and was once considered by Inter Milan fans to be a cancer of the team.

Moreover, it is difficult for such a player to find a suitable partner. He needs to occupy a large number of shooting opportunities, but it is impossible to help his teammates create opportunities. Any striker by his side is redundant.

What the Tin Woodman needs are teammates with excellent crossing ability.

Milito and Li Ze are different. The two receive the ball in the frontcourt, and they can use it as a fulcrum to control the ball, and even continue to advance with the ball!
With two such forwards in the frontcourt, Bayern's defensive players are bound to suffer.

Not to mention Demichelis and the others, who are not capable at all, even Lahm is restricted to the backcourt. Looking at Li Ze and the others who are staring at them, Lahm dare not advance easily.

Soon the fans discovered that although Bayern had the upper hand on the pitch, it was Inter Milan's counterattack that could really threaten the opponent's goal.

In the 14th minute, after receiving a long pass from Sneijder, Milito smashed the ball away from Van Buyten and passed the ball.

Facing the defense of Van Bommel and Lahm alone, Li Ze changed direction three times in a row and then broke into the penalty area.

Bout is not a goalkeeper with very good goal-line skills, nor is he a goalkeeper who can perform miracles.

Facing Li Ze's single-handed attack, he fell irresistibly.

0: 1!

Inter Milan opened the scoring away!

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"Li Ze! Li Ze! He left Lahm and Van Bommel behind!"

"This is a goal that changes form. Bayern will no longer have the advantage of away goals!"

"In terms of the total score, Inter Milan has already led by 2 goals. What is more dangerous than this is that once Inter Milan scores another goal, Bayern will have to score 1 goals!"

"Four goals against Mourinho's team? It's a mission impossible!"

On the sidelines, the two world famous coaches obviously understood the importance of this goal. One covered his face and couldn't bear to look directly at it, while the other danced with excitement.

"At the beginning of the game, Bayern's odds of winning were at least 5%, but they lost the advantage of away goals..." Zhang Lu shook her head while talking, "It's not bad to have three achievements."

"How can it be [-]%? I think it's [-]% at most." He Wei retorted, "Li Ze's performance has been kicked out. It's impossible for him not to score goals."

"Van Gaal wants to win, either defend against Li Ze and score two goals, or score four goals without defending Li Ze. Inter Milan is Mourinho's team!"

Zhang Lu also thought it made sense.

The difficulty of restricting Li Ze and 4-goal comeback against Mourinho is exaggerated.

"It's difficult for Van Gaal."

It was really difficult for Van Gaal, so difficult that he didn't know how to adjust.

Before the game, he emphasized that the defense must be strengthened in this game.

Bayern wants to eliminate Inter Milan, and the advantage of away goals must not be lost.

If possible, Van Gaal hopes to use the most affordable 1:0 to defeat and eliminate this difficult opponent.

It’s just that the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny. Although he has emphasized defense and ordered the team not to suppress the opponent too much, Bayern still conceded the ball.

For a moment, Van Gaal didn't even know who to blame.

This ball conceded is undoubtedly the fault of the defensive player.

But who can he blame?
Blame Van Buyten for failing to keep an eye on Milito?
Or is it because Ram and the others failed to keep an eye on Li Ze?
Van Gaal knew very well that they only had that kind of strength, and it wasn't that they had a bad attitude.

In the face of opponents with better personal abilities, their defense is a bit shabby.

Van Gaal was not unprepared, so he sent two of the strongest defenders, Van Bommel and Lahm, to restrain Li Ze, hoping that the Chinese man could be restrained.

But in the face of the joint defense of two world-class players, Li Zeleng used three quick changes of direction to get rid of them.

What kind of personal strength is this!

Van Gaal was terrified!
How should such a player be restricted?
The term that first appeared in Van Gaal's mind was called "Iron Barrel Formation".

Use the original method of piling up people in the half court to compress Li Ze's space as much as possible.

But this idea just flashed in my mind, and it was immediately rejected by Van Gaal himself.

That's the football Mourinho was after, not his.

Moreover, the Iron Barrel Array is not something that can be placed just by putting it on, and the knowledge in it is also very deep.

Van Gaal didn't know much about this, but he didn't dare to play tricks.

After marveling at Li Ze's personal ability, Van Gaal set his sights on Milito again.

This player is also not to be underestimated!

Van Gaal has a vicious vision. It is natural to see that this Argentine has excellent goal-breaking ability, can serve as a fulcrum, and also has the ability to hold the ball and break through.

It is impossible for such a striker to relax his vigilance anyway.

Inter Milan has such two forwards, coupled with Sneijder who has a terrifying long pass ability, it is doomed that Bayern's defensive players must be focused and strong.

Otherwise, once a chance is found by two forwards with excellent singles ability, it will be a one-handed one!

But Bayern's biggest problem is the lack of personal ability of the defensive players!
Van Gaal was chilled for a while.

He realized the significance of Mourinho's partnership of these two people.

Milito was in poor form in the last game, and Van Gaal hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem.

Only now did Van Gaal discover that this striker role is so deadly!
And just restrained his Bayern!
Seeing Li Ze and Milito hugging and celebrating on the field, Van Gaal felt quite sour.

Gomez is not used to Bayern, and Klose is a bit old.

Yes, in Van Gaal's view, Klose's problem at Bayern is not that he can't integrate, but that he has become old after integrating.

Klose is now 32 years old!

Even a very self-disciplined professional player will inevitably start to decline at this age.

Van Gaal is really sour!
Mourinho has two such outstanding forwards who are still in their prime at the same time, but he can only let the immature and soft-footed Gomez start!

Van Gaal forcibly stabilized his mind and looked at the field, looking for a vague opportunity for a comeback.
