Super Marshal

The game restarts in the second half.

After the change of sides, Chelsea took the lead to kick off, but after only two or three passes, the ball was transferred to the feet of Inter Milan. The Blues seemed to be well prepared for this and were not reluctant to fight. They still imagined the first half. Such a high-pressure press.

But there is an obvious change in Inter Milan, that is, Yaya Toure's position has retreated a lot.

This also gives the Nerazzurri an extra stable ball point in the midfield and backfield.

The Ivory Coast midfielder is both offensive and defensive, and his ability to take the ball and deliver the ball is also very good. With his response, Inter Milan began to consciously slow down the speed of the ball in an attempt to stabilize the rhythm.

But where would Chelsea give in?

The two sides quickly ignited the second half with a controversial penalty.

That happened in the 47th minute. Inter Milan suddenly moved the ball to the left. Adriano headed the ball towards the penalty area. Ibrahimovic rushed into the penalty area.

Seeing that the Swedish center was about to catch up with the ball, Terry took the initiative to clear the ball with a big kick, but at the same time he kicked Ibrahimovic down. The Swedish center fell directly into Chelsea's penalty area.

Referee Fandel waved his hand decisively, indicating that Terry had not committed a foul.

"Judging from the slow-motion replay, Terry did indeed complete a very wonderful clearance. After he touched the ball first, he lost his center of gravity and fell towards Ibrahimovic, causing the latter to also fall. land."

"But the Inter Milan fans seemed to be very dissatisfied with the referee's decision. There were boos in the stands, thinking that this should not be a corner kick, but a penalty kick."

Inter Milan quickly took a corner kick, and Vidic grabbed the first spot and headed the ball to the right side of the goal, but it went slightly wide.

This attack completely ignited the enthusiasm of the Olympic Stadium, and players from both teams began to actively participate in the game.

Especially Chelsea.

Mourinho also realized that Inter Milan could not control the ball and slow down the pace of the game. Otherwise, Chelsea would be a lamb on the slaughtering table, so he asked the players to increase their pressing and pressure.

For a time, the stadium was filled with smoke again, and there were scenes of people falling on their backs at every turn.

Perhaps it was influenced by Adriano's header after the opening of the second half, or perhaps the Brazilian center reached an almost equal position with Ibrahimovic at the beginning of the second half, forming a good interaction, which made Ashley · Cole didn’t dare to step forward easily.

However, Essien on the right gained more opportunities and became more active. He even frequently moved forward to the right midfielder or even the right forward position, actively participating in the frontcourt pressing and counterattack.

In the 51st minute, Chelsea intercepted the ball in the midfield and launched a counterattack, passing the ball to the right. After receiving the ball, Essien went directly to the bottom line, but was tripped to the ground by Evra, who was defending from the side.

This time, the referee Vandel did not hesitate and showed a yellow card directly to Evra.

The entire Olympic Stadium erupted in boos.

But Evra did not defend himself because he knew that this was indeed a foul.

"Chelsea played very fiercely on the right, and Essien was really active in this game."

"Yes, looking at it this way, using Essien in this game will definitely be Mourinho's best decision."

"It not only froze Cristiano Ronaldo in defense, but also played an obvious role in offense. The Ghanaian Buffaloes are full of energy, and they don't feel tired at all when sprinting back and forth."

"Who says it's not the case? Is Essien with three lungs fake?"

"Now Chelsea is pressing further and further forward, and has already entered the 30-meter zone of Inter Milan. Gao Han should come up with countermeasures as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this continues, there will definitely be problems."

"Who says not? Look at Drogba, he is always looking for opportunities."

…

The reporters in the media area were talking a lot, which made Lin Xia, who was sitting among them, anxious.

She is very aware of the grudges between Mourinho and Gao Han, and she also knows that Mourinho has been eager to defeat Gao Han over the years, so tonight's battle is crucial to them.

Mourinho bet on his future, and Gao Han bet on his reputation. No one can lose.

"Javier, tell me, Chelsea's attack from the right is so fierce, why didn't he notice it?" Lin Xia asked strangely.

Even a half-hearted fan like her could see it, and she didn't believe Gao Han couldn't see it.

Matayana nodded and said: "Yes, logically speaking, he should be able to see it, but you see, Cristiano Ronaldo actively returns to defense, but generally does not easily return to his own half. On the contrary, Ronaldo Ya Toure, defend deeper."

"What do you mean?" Lin Xia couldn't understand.

"I was wondering, could this be arranged deliberately by Gao Han?"

"On purpose?" Lin Xia was a little surprised.

is it possible?

How can any head coach deliberately arrange loopholes for his opponents to exploit?

But if it wasn't intentional, then why couldn't Gao Han see the problem that everyone could see?

And he is still such an old man standing there with his hands in his pockets?

Matayana has been immersed in professional football for decades and has extremely rich experience. He has watched countless games and quickly spied some clues, especially Gao Han's different strategies for Chelsea's left and right wings.

Adriano directly suppressed Ashley Cole, so after the start of the second half, Chelsea's left wing basically relied on Kalou to fight alone, and Ashley Cole rarely dared to advance.

But it's different on the right side. Cristiano Ronaldo seems to be deliberately relaxing his guard on Essien, allowing Ghanaian players to move forward frequently, even more forward each time, while he himself seems to have been lying in wait for opportunities in the frontcourt.

Is this a coincidence?

"If I guessed correctly, Gao Han should have deliberately grabbed one side and put it on one side, allowing Chelsea to concentrate their forces to attack the right side, but he could only pose a threat through crosses from the wing, but Gao Han was against Kana. Varro and Vidic are very confident."

Judging from the second half, Cannavaro's forward defense and preemptive points repeatedly resolved Chelsea's crosses, while Vidic did not fall behind in several aerial battles, at least not to Drogba. Threat to the goal.

This should be Gao Han's confidence to let go of the right channel.

But, is this really no problem?

…………

"It's just a little bit close, just a little bit closer!"

In the chairman's stand, Abramovich felt more and more excited as he watched.

Especially when he saw another flaw on Evra's left wing and ran over to intercept it, he stepped on a hole in the grass. He stumbled and was a beat slower. Essien took the opportunity to pass the ball. Gave it to Anelka.

After receiving the ball, the French forward broke into the penalty area and hit the ball across the penalty area. However, Kalou, who followed behind, grabbed the ball due to Maicon's interference. .

Although it was a pity that a good scoring opportunity was wasted, the Chelsea fans in the stands were still very excited.

It was only in the thirty-meter area just now, and now it has directly entered the penalty area. Then, will it be necessary to score a goal next?

"Mourinho is still very capable. He was able to force Inter Milan to this point in the second half. It's not easy." Abramovich is quite satisfied with the head coach he personally selected.

Of course, the premise is that Mourinho must defeat Gao Han.

Peter Kenyon is not a senior football fan, but he has been immersed in European football for many years and knows how to watch football, so he is a little strange in his heart. Why is Inter Milan somewhat passive on the scene, but Gao Han is not moved at all?

From the beginning of the second half, Gao Han kept his hands in his trouser pockets and watched the game at leisure.

Mourinho, on the other hand, seemed to be shouting anxiously to the sidelines, but the noise was so loud that they couldn't hear what Mourinho was shouting, but they always felt that things were not that simple.

Why does it seem that Mourinho, who is in a favorable situation, is more nervous than Gao Han, who is at a disadvantage?

Could it be that something went wrong?

But now, Abramovich is in high spirits, how can Peter Kenyon dare to throw cold water on him?

At this moment, Chelsea intercepted the ball again and formed a counterattack, but still passed the ball diagonally to the right.

Anelka stuck to the right sideline to get the ball. Essien quickly moved forward again. After receiving Anelka's pass, he wanted to cut to the center, but Yaya Toure stuck without giving an inch. On the line where he cuts inside.

As a last resort, Essien could only pass the ball back to the wing to Anelka.

But just when Anelka was about to receive the ball, Evra suddenly jumped out, got ahead of the French forward, poked the ball directly to Yaya Toure.

The Ivorian quickly stepped forward to receive the ball, but Essien got close immediately.

After Yaya Toure skillfully protected the ball, he passed it to Evra who was free. Just when Essien wanted to rush forward to press for the ball, suddenly a curse came from his ears.

"Idiot, get back on defense quickly!"

Essien looked up in confusion at first, and was immediately shocked when he saw Cristiano Ronaldo in his defense zone, with not even a defensive player wearing a Chelsea jersey around.

The Ghanaian didn't have time to think too much, and immediately gave up the decision to press Evra and rushed back.

But he is fast, and Evra is faster.

After bypassing Anelka's defense, Evra passed the ball to Cambiasso, who ran over to meet him. The latter directly made a long diagonal pass and sent the ball through the midfield and fell to the left. .

Cristiano Ronaldo sprinted forward at an extremely fast speed, caught up with the ball without being marked, and entered Chelsea's 30-meter area.

Andrade returned to defense immediately, but did not choose to get close, but kept a certain distance because he noticed that Ibrahimovic and Adriano also quickly attacked at the first time. Sprint forward and you will soon be in the penalty area.

And his teammate Essien is also quickly returning to defense, as long as Essien can come back...

Before Andrade could even think about it, he saw Cristiano Ronaldo rushing toward him with the ball, forcing him to retreat, especially when he saw Cristiano Ronaldo's dazzling footwork. , completely unable to judge his true intention.

In a hurry, Andrade didn't have time to think too much and chose to foul directly, pulling Cristiano Ronaldo to the ground. The referee's whistle also sounded immediately.

Since there was Terry behind him, Vandel showed a yellow card towards Andrade and gave Inter Milan a set kick to the left of the front court.

This position is not ideal, the angle is a little off, and the angle for directly hitting the door is too small, making it difficult to hit.

More importantly, Inter Milan's right-footed free kick experts Veron and Figo are not on the court, and it is difficult to threaten with the left foot in this position.

This is where Andrade is shrewd.
