As Naples retreated, Inter Milan gradually pressed forward.
Mourinho replaced Muntari with Balotelli, while Gao Shen replaced Thiago Motta with Pastore.
After both teams made substitutions at the same time, the atmosphere suddenly became lively again.
All the fans at the scene felt it, and both head coaches were making tit-for-tat substitutions.
And this could very well change the course of the game.
Not only the fans, but also the on-site commentators became excited.
After all, the game was indeed deadlocked for too long.
Not all fans understand and are interested in tactics. More people only care about whether the game is good or not. They wish every football match could turn into a volleyball match, that would be enjoyable.
"After the substitution, we saw that Stankovic returned to the defensive midfielder position. Inter Milan seemed to adopt a 433 formation, with three high center forwards in front. Anyone who saw it would be wary."
"Naples changed from a 4-3-3 formation to a formation similar to 4-2-3-1, and the players on the two wings swapped positions. Sanchez was moved to the left, Di Maria was moved to the right, and Paz
Torre is still at No. 10."
…
After the two sides adjusted their substitutions, Inter Milan used more long passes from the backcourt and went directly to the frontcourt to find three high center forwards.
Whenever there is a chance, the Nerazzurri players will move forward. Anyway, there are three centers in front, and one of them can always grab the ball. As long as he grabs it, the three centers will cooperate with each other, or wait for the midfielder.
The player's back is inserted.
But Gao Shen quickly realized the problem and signaled the frontcourt players to step up their counterattack and interfere with Inter Milan's long pass.
Naples' two central defenders also firmly locked up the air dominance. As soon as the ball arrived, they immediately seized the first landing point and directly headed the ball back to the midfield. Naples took this opportunity to quickly launch a counterattack.
Pastore has gained more room to play freely in the attacking midfielder position. He can run almost without restriction. After receiving the ball, he directly threatens Inter Milan's defense with the ball, creating opportunities for the trident in front.
Chance.
In the 83rd minute, Vargas passed the ball to the left side of the frontcourt, and Sanchez knocked it back to Pastore.
After getting the ball, the Argentinian player chose to cross the left rib area and successfully broke through Zanetti. However, Cambiaso, who was chasing after him, tripped to the ground while fighting close to the outside. Cambiaso also received a penalty for this.
A yellow card.
But this time, after the free kick was sent into the penalty area, Cesar abandoned the goal and snatched the ball away from mid-air.
Subsequently, Pastore, Sanchez and Di Maria all had several chances to get the ball, but they were never able to pose a threat.
Inter Milan has too many defensive players in the hinterland.
No matter where Naples' offensive players go, there will always be at least two defensive players flanking them.
Fortunately, even if Inter Milan uses three centers, it will be difficult to pose a threat to Naples with more long passes.
Although Ibrahimovic and Balotelli each had long-range shots, they were actually no threat. They only increased the number of shots from the original four to six, but none of them hit the goal.
.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that Naples' defense against Inter Milan's center group today is still very good.
The central defender combination of David Luiz and Bonucci is also becoming more and more reliable, especially the Brazilian central defender. After three years of training in Italy, he is obviously much more stable than before.
Gao Shen stood on the sidelines and kept telling the team to stay calm and stay calm.
Mourinho didn't know when it started. He walked to the sidelines, obviously unable to sit still.
There were 80,000 Inter Milan fans in the audience, all cheering for the team.
It's the last few minutes, and they all hope that the team can keep up their efforts, work harder, and strive for a goal.
…
Time flows by bit by bit, silently.
When the game reached eighty-nine minutes, everyone had almost lost confidence and was basically certain that the game would end zero to zero. Even fans in the stands were beginning to get restless and ready to leave.
.
The fourth official on the sidelines also marked three minutes of stoppage time.
This is mainly because there were not many fouls or delays in the second half, and the game went fairly smoothly.
During a Naples attack, Di Maria dribbled the ball from the right, continuously changing direction and rhythm. After deceiving Maxwell, he tried to pass the ball across to find Cavani, but unexpectedly, Cavani was beaten by Luci
Osuo was restrained and failed to stop the ball, so Samuel directly stepped forward to clear the ball.
Cavani's performance was also greatly reduced tonight under Lucio's intensive care, and he lacked the passion and vitality of the past.
The ball flew over the center line and fell to the outside of Naples' 30-meter area, trying to find Ibrahimovic.
David Luiz went around to defend and headed the ball back to the midfield.
Biglia got stuck first and was interfered by Balotelli. He turned his back to the direction of attack and kicked the ball behind him, towards Inter Milan's goal.
The ball flew over the center line again and landed in Inter Milan's half.
Lucio took the lead and headed the ball back into Naples' half.
But this time, Rakitic took the lead and stopped Lucio's header with his chest, and quickly sent a ground ball to the feet of Pastore in front.
The Argentine teenager received a pass from Rakitic in an unguarded position.
Pastore stopped with his right foot, glanced ahead, and then quickly sent a long overhead pass.
The ball flew over the heads of Lucio, Samuel and others, crossed Inter Milan's defense, and landed at the front of Inter Milan's penalty area.
Di Maria, who had been cruising near Lucio and Maxwell after cutting inside, suddenly changed direction and drove straight into the penalty area as quickly as possible.
The Argentine winger's speed advantage was fully utilized at this moment.
Who would have thought that after playing for nearly ninety minutes, Di Maria could still sprint at such a speed?
…
On the sidelines, Gao Shen became excited when he saw Pastore was unguarded.
When he saw the Argentine midfielder send an overhead pass, he knew he had a chance.
Di Maria and Sanchez both started sprinting at almost the same time and chased the ball straight away.
At this moment, Gao Shen's whole body seemed to be on fire and he couldn't help shouting loudly.
I saw that Di Maria was faster on the court. After catching up with the ball first, he got ahead of Cesar and picked the ball.
The ball was directly picked by Di Maria over Cesar's header and fell towards the goal behind him, but Di Maria could not stop his momentum and collided with Cesar.
Sanchez's speed on the other side did not slow down, and he continued to rush forward at lightning speed, rushing into Inter Milan's penalty area, catching up with Di Maria's football that seemed to be passed and shot, and bounced after it landed.
At the beginning, near the small penalty area line, he sent it into the goal within easy reach.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"Napoli scores a goal!!!!!!"
After Sanchez scored, he roared ferociously, turned around and rushed out of the stadium, calling Di Maria and his teammates along the way.
When Di Maria picked the ball over Cesar, Gao Shen couldn't help but jumped up and shouted loudly.
When he saw Sanchez's shot again, he cheered even more forgetfully.
"Yeah!! Great job!"
Everyone around Gao Shen has gone crazy!
A full ninety minutes!
Naples attacked for ninety minutes!
"God, at the last moment of the game, Naples stubbornly withstood all the pressure. With Di Maria's pass assist, Sanchez scored the winning goal for Naples!"
"One to zero!"
"Tonight's game is really a pinnacle showdown. Both sides played with extremely high standards and tactical literacy."
"But in the end, Naples relied on the high-speed sprint that they were able to complete in the final stage of the game, and used a key winning goal to take the lead 1-0!"
All the Napoli players rushed to the sidelines and celebrated wildly.
Gao Shen clenched his fists with both hands and let out a shout.
This is the most fascinating part of football!
It can go ninety minutes without scoring, but when the goal comes, everything will be worth it!
Of course, this is for the winner!
After celebrating, Gao Shen turned around and hugged the coaching staff one by one, especially Buenaventura and Pintus.
Naples was able to maintain such a high-speed sprint in the final stage of the game, and these two physical coaches were indispensable, especially Pintus.
Others don't know, but everyone in Naples knows it very well.
Pintus started training in the summer, and after each training session, he would lead the players for long-distance running.
You should know that this running is not included in the regular training items.
In other words, you can train as much as you want, but running is extra.
This is a huge challenge and torture for any player.
Although Pintus also ran with them, the team still complained. In the end, Gao Shen came forward to calm down, and this allowed the training to continue.
But now, Gao Shen understood Pintus' intention.
After training, players are the most tired, physically weak, and have the weakest willpower. But if they insist on long-distance running at this time, in addition to improving their physical fitness, the more important thing is to test the players' willpower, so that everyone can
Be able to grit your teeth and persevere.
Just think about it, wasn't Sanchez and Di Maria's sprint just now completed when their physical energy was exhausted, their bodies were extremely weak, and their willpower was almost broken?
These are all due to their long-term accumulation in daily life, especially the accumulation of long-distance running.
In the past few months, everyone on the team has continued to persevere and perform sweaty long-distance running training after every training session, just for the sprint just now!
And it brought back a goal for Napoli!
A most precious goal!
When Gao Shen thought of this, he hugged Pintus with one hand and hugged Buenaventura forcefully with the other hand.
Tonight, players such as Di María, Sanchez and Pastore are the heroes, as are Buenaventura and Pintus!
