Godfather Of Champions

"Anelka! GOOOAL! I didn't expect Nottingham Forest to score an away goal and lead the home team Inter Milan!"

The fans of Nottingham Forest who watched from the corner of Meazza Stadium cheered, and their voices were almost the only voice in the stands of Meazza Stadium at this moment. As visiting fans, there are only two thousand people. They have been suppressed by the crowds of Inter Milan fans before, and now they are finally proud.

Two thousand Nottingham Forest fans sang their team song. The players of the Forest team rushed to the stands and shouted with the group of people above.

At the same time, in Nottingham, England, in those red bars, countless Nottingham Forest fans sang with them.

"In the twenty-seventh minute, Nottingham Forest led 1-0. The goal scorer Nicolas Anelka!" Meazza's live broadcast routinely reported the name of the goal scorer. This time people finally heard from the home team fans. His boos.

Tony Dunn and his assistant clenched their fists to celebrate the goal with the others.

Being able to score an away goal in such an important game, the game went really smoothly unexpectedly.

With an away goal in hand, everyone's heart settled down. Then as long as the opponent does not win by a big score, it is considered a victory.

Of course, Dunn would not be satisfied with this. An away goal is good, but if more away goals can be scored, he will not refuse.

"Demi!" Dunn stopped Albertini, who ran back to the sidelines to drink water, and gave him a thumbs up. "Good job!"

"Aren't you just saying this, boss?" Albertini drank and smiled.

"Of course. Tell them, keep playing like this, defend, and counterattack!"

"Ok."

Back at the coaching bench, Dunn murmured to Chris Lak as if talking to himself: "We are leading, and now we are more at ease in defensive counterattacks..."

"I think it's funny, playing defensive counterattack in front of the Italians. Hehe." Chris Lak laughed.

"It will be more interesting if we win, David."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

While the two coaches of the visiting team were chatting and laughing, Mancini bit his lip and looked at the stadium with a green face.

Is there anything more unsatisfactory than losing a home goal in the Champions League knockout?

Yes, that means losing.

Although he hasn't lost yet, he lost a goal, which is a big blow to Mancini's plan. But now is not the time to make adjustments. There is no problem with the tactics. Attacking at home, and now he can only continue to attack. Of course, he can't just watch the team fall behind.

As a result, when the game restarted, Inter Milan's offensive was even stronger, and Anelka seemed to disappear after scoring. The Forest team did not attack at all, and was once again pressed back to the 30-meter area by Inter Milan. .

Veron's performance so far is not very good, Dunn even thinks that Veron's state is not good, and George Wood doesn't need to specifically target him. The Forest team was heavily deployed in the center and the back, and the penalty area was crowded like a vegetable market. As soon as the Inter Milan players scored, they found that there were people around, and it was even more difficult to accurately deliver the football to their teammates.

Cambiasso rushed to take part in the attack. He tried to give the football to Martins in front, but the ball was cut off by Albertini in the middle. This is something that can be done only by stretching his feet— -Too many people, too crowded, football can easily kick to the opponent's feet.

However, Albertini’s interception only blocked Inter Milan’s attack this time. The ball did not completely fall into the control of the Forest team. On the contrary, because Inter Milan was heavily pressed, a deep attack line was formed in the Forest team’s backcourt. Layer by layer, the ball that the Forest team broke will soon fall into the feet of Inter Milan players again, and then they will push forward and be broken again... and so on. Wanting to enter the penalty area of ​​the Forest team is really comparable to the sky. George Wood and Albertini built a high wall in front of Pepe and Pique. In addition to long shots, frontal breakthroughs have hit the wall countless times. As for the cross from the side... Pepe and Pikwe are both central defenders with a height of more than 1.9 meters and excellent headers. This is a three-dimensional defense.

It seems that the English defense is more authentic than the Italian.

But Dunn has learned a lot about defense from the Italians, and now it happens to be used against the Italian team, the effect looks very good. Inter Milan is not prepared for such a thorough defense of the Forest team, and now they have no better way other than long shots.

Veron shot from long range, Cambiasso shot from long range, Figo shot from long range, Adriano shot from long range, Martins shot from long range...Even Materach rushed forward and kicked a long shot. Until the whistle sounded at the halftime, people couldn't count how many long shots Inter Milan's players took, but they only saw Inter Milan face the forest team at a loss.

Generally speaking, long-range shooting is the easiest way to open the opponent's defense, but it is also the roughest and least technical, and it feels a little bit "hit lucky". From another perspective, when a team frequently uses long shots, it shows that they are impatient.

This can be seen from the different performances of the two teams when they are off the court. The Inter Milan players hurried with their heads bowed, while the Nottingham Forest players walked slowly towards the player's corridor.

The two head coaches too, Mancini had a stern face and a serious face, and Dunn and Chris Luck walked back with a smile.

"Good job, guys." Dunn praised everyone in the first sentence when he entered the room. "We made Inter Milan feel uncomfortable. Although we were ugly on the scene, look at it-an away goal, I think it is worth it! If we continue to play like this in the second half, when the Inter Milan players start to become anxious, then the victory is also us. That's it!"

※※※

"Look at what you are doing?" This was the first sentence Mancini said after entering the home team's locker room. The cold tone indicated that he was very angry. "Who made you shoot long shots on the court? I don't remember in training I told you that the way to break the opponent's dense defense is to shoot long!

The players of Inter Milan sat silently in their respective positions.

"In the second half... Give me a complete blockade of Albertini. No matter what method you use, you can't let him take the ball comfortably and pass the ball comfortably. He is a dangerous man, I think some of you will not I am unfamiliar with this evaluation."

Javier Zanetti nodded slightly, he was indeed no stranger. So when Albertini turned to pass the ball, he chased it back, but unfortunately... if he is a few years younger, the ball may be broken. I'm really old before I know it...

"Cambiasso, you have to keep an eye on it!" Mancini smashed his fist. "I don't want to praise the opponent in front of you, but you should really observe the opponent's No. 13! Look how he defends... …." He originally wanted to say "Look at how he defended Veron", but thinking that it would be too unfair to Veron, so he changed his words temporarily.

"Foul! Be rougher, this is our home court, what are you afraid of?!"

Cambiasso was scorned by Mancini, and he knew in his heart that his defense against Albertini was not successful in the first half. Most of the time Inter Milan pressed the opponent and didn't need to pay attention to the defense against Albertini, but when it was really his turn to stare at the opponent, he passed a high-quality long pass and assisted directly. Anelka scored.

"Do you need me to teach you how to defend?"

Cambiasso shook his head: "No, coach."

"Albertini is their core figure. Don't worry about Ribery or Anelka. Just watch him to death. It's enough! When they get the ball in the backcourt, they will definitely look for Albertini. Point, and then he is responsible for sending the football out. Watch him to death, cut off their passing route, and then implement oppressive defense against other ball players. If you can't stop it, they will cause me their mistakes!"

"Offensively..." Mancini beckoned and made a recovery gesture, "If they don't come out, just pull them out. I don't want to see the stupid way of using frequent long shots to break the dense defense! Use your brain, you are Inter Milan players, you are professional players, not any amateur team! Did you play on the first day!"

In the end, Mancini still failed to control his anger.

"This is the Champions Cup, this is not a friendly match. If we lose this game, you know what that means!" Mancini pointed his finger at it, where is the stand. "Remember what you should do. Did you see the look of the Forest coach's exit? He thought he was determined to win, he thought his team could win Inter Milan here! Don't let him succeed."
