When Drogba headed the ball into the gate guarded by Cesar, the entire Stamford Bridge stadium turned into a boiling crater. All Chelsea fans were shouting crazily, fully displaying the characteristics of Premier League fans.
What are the characteristics of Premier League fans? Crazy and fearless, especially when their team is leading. If Inter Milan’s previous goal gave them a bad premonition, then this previous emotion has made the current
They became even more crazy and excited, as if they were embarrassed by their previous thoughts. At this time, they decided to use their own shouts to make the team feel their loyalty even more!
"One more goal! One more goal!" Countless Chelsea fans shouted crazily. They scored two goals in a row, allowing them to see the infinite possibility of entering the semi-finals. Now they are leading, then leading by two goals, leading by three goals...
Until they beat Inter Milan to pieces at home, then advanced to the semi-finals, entered the finals, and finally won the championship!
However, for neutral commentators, although Chelsea seems to have a great advantage now, what is actually the case? Two to one at home, which is not a particularly good advantage. If this score is maintained until the end, it will
It is not an unacceptable result for Inter Milan.
And from the perspective of the scoring process, strictly speaking, Chelsea's two goals did not break down Inter Milan's defense, but they were caused by two accidents. In the process of Chelsea scoring these two goals,
In the middle, Inter Milan also has a good chance of scoring again. If the struggle continues like this, it is still unclear who will win.
Of course, taking the lead when falling behind will greatly improve Chelsea's morale. Moreover, if Inter Milan fails to adjust its mentality in time, it is very likely that Chelsea will directly seize the opportunity to defeat them.
However, the current Inter Milan is not that fragile and sensitive team. Although they have been smooth sailing since the beginning of this season, they have not suffered setbacks. Today's situation is not enough to cause Inter Milan to have any panic.
.
Now, Dick made timely adjustments. Figo, whose physical fitness had declined significantly, was replaced by Perrotta. In addition to strengthening the midfielder's running ability, such a substitution also
It also strengthens the forward penetration ability of the midfielder. At the same time, with Figo's dismissal, Inter Milan's frontcourt offense will be more concentrated at Ibrahimovic's feet, which is also the best time to display his characteristics.
"Stay steady, don't let their offense throw you off the pace." Mourinho gave such instructions. He was much calmer than the fans in the stands. Facing opponents like Inter Milan, especially facing Di.
It is unrealistic to beat an opponent like Chelsea to death with a stick. Even if they are only leading by one goal into the second round, it will be beneficial to Chelsea. As long as they can win at home, the rest of the game will be easy.
Both head coaches are very cautious and have no intention of killing their opponents at once. In addition to calculating strength, a game of this level no longer only depends on the performance on the field. It counts strength, weather, mentality, tactics, anything.
No details can be omitted.
Mourinho can accept the result of going to the away game with a one-goal lead, and Dick is not unacceptable, but now if he can score another goal, even if it is a draw, he can accept it.
After getting a draw with a goal, Inter Milan will be more confident after returning to the home court. If it is a small loss with a goal, then it will be Chelsea who takes the initiative at Meazza, not only
In reality, it also includes the mentality of the players on both sides.
When the game reaches this point, mentality is also a very important factor.
The game began to reach a deadlock again. Although Chelsea's conservativeness made many fans a little dissatisfied, because of Mourinho's excellent record in the previous two seasons, they chose to believe in their head coach, but Mourinho would not
He was booed by the fans, but he couldn't bear the thought that other people would be dissatisfied with him...
This person is Chelsea owner Abramovich.
When he fell behind at the beginning, Abramovich seemed very annoyed because Mourinho seemed to be becoming more and more disobedient this season - or perhaps Abramovich did not realize that he began to get more involved in the team at the beginning of this season.
Go, and this is something Mourinho can't bear. Not to mention Mourinho can't bear it, it's Dick who can't bear it even more. He, like Mourinho, wants to take everything
Things are in your own hands, and you can make the entire team improve through your own control, and you don't want anyone to dictate to you.
Mourinho began to encounter such a situation in his third season, and Dick was actually very likely to encounter such a situation, especially when Facchetti passed away and Moratti became the team chairman again, but in
After the end of last season, the conversation between Dick and Moratti dispelled such hidden dangers - Dick made it clear that he would not coach Inter Milan for too long and that he would leave after leaving a brilliant record.
He has no intention of making himself a benchmark for Inter Milan - this is what Moratti cares about. He doesn't care about money. What he cares about is the status of himself and the Moratti family in Inter Milan.
Mourinho has shown that he can stay at Chelsea forever like Ferguson, but Abramovich is not Edwards or Gretz. He has a political purpose in taking charge of Chelsea. His own reputation continues to be exposed and he is better than the team.
Winning is more important, and Dick has an advantage over Mourinho in this regard.
Just like now, the overall strength of Chelsea and Inter Milan is almost the same. Chelsea is even better because they are richer and more willing to spend money. But what about Inter Milan? Moratti is still generous now, but he
His financial resources have begun to decline. It will no longer happen that Lippi directly spent more than 100 million in the transfer market the year he took over. The investment of tens of millions per season is already his limit, so
Dick often had to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall in order to keep the team's combat effectiveness and desire for glory.
However, in the preparations before this game, Inter Milan was ahead, and even if they lost this game, Dick would not be under any pressure. However, if Chelsea were in the lead and got a draw because of their conservativeness,
...The pressure on Mourinho will become very great. This is not pressure from the fans, but pressure directly from the management.
So Dick was not in a hurry. He watched the players on the field tangled together. He was very calm. He didn't even stand up. Instead, he sat on the coach's bench with his legs crossed carelessly and looked at the field happily.
game on.
"Dick is very relaxed... I don't know if he is really relaxed or just pretending to be relaxed, but under such circumstances, his attitude can make his players more relaxed. This is very important.
When they were leading and were overtaken by someone else, the pressure on the players was actually very high. However, Dick took a relaxed attitude at this time, allowing the players to deeply understand that the current situation of Inter Milan was not the same.
It's not bad, it's actually pretty good. With this mentality, the players will naturally perform better."
In fact, this is indeed the case. Under Dick's relaxed performance, Inter Milan's players began to become more calm. They kept passing the ball to Ibrahimovic from the backcourt, and then roared and ran around him.
came to respond, and Ibrahimovic was completely relaxed. He showed off his abilities in the frontcourt. With his height, strength and skills, even if he faced the strangulation of Chelsea's steel defense, he would not be too affected.
Under pressure, he kept controlling the ball, and then kept passing the ball out to create opportunities. His casual playing style also began to create more pressure on Chelsea's defense.
It is not easy to keep track of Ibrahimovic, because his movement is very erratic and his personal ability to hold the ball is very strong. More importantly, his teammates can always pass the ball to him, and he also
He can always find a passing route, and the players on the field continue to form small triangles one after another, creating huge lethality through passing.
The Chelsea defenders, who were made miserable by Ibrahimovic, began to focus on marking Ibrahimovic, but they ignored two people.
Toni has been fighting with the opponent's central defender in the penalty area, which has greatly reduced the physical fitness of the opponent's two central defenders. The real core of Inter Milan's midfield organization is Sneijder, who did not block Sneijder's passing route.
Even if Ibrahimovic is targeted to death, it won't be of much use.
Before Mourinho could see this, Inter Milan launched a very beautiful attack.
Yaya Toure passed the ball to Sneijder, and Sneijder passed it to Perrotta, and then he passed forward and received Perrotta's pass. Ibrahimovic ran to get the ball, and Chelsea's defenders began to concentrate.
For Ibrahimovic, however, when the Chelsea defenders began to focus their attention, Sneijder flicked his ankle and passed the ball directly to Toni on the edge of the penalty area!
Tony took the ball and then passed it to Perrotta who quietly stepped in from the wing. Perrotta caught the ball and Tony turned and rushed into the penalty area. This once again drew the attention of Chelsea's two central defenders. However, at this time
, Ibrahimovic, who had been ignored, had quietly entered the penalty area. Perrotta also made a diagonal pass and stuffed the ball directly into Ibrahimovic's feet!
Ibrahimovic stopped the ball in the penalty area, then turned around. Before Essien returned to defend, he raised his right foot and shot hard in the penalty area!
The ball flew directly to the ground and into the near corner of the goal! Faced with such a very close, powerful and awkward shot, no matter how quick Cech's reaction was, he was unable to make a save!
Two to two draws! Inter Milan equalized the score in the away game and scored two very important away goals!
The moment Ibrahimovic scored, Mourinho kicked over a mineral water bottle. He had already noticed this, but he was still a step too slow! Such an offense is really depressing...
When Ibrahimovic scored, the face of Abramovich in the box began to darken, and the joyful expression when Chelsea took the lead was gone...
Chelsea began to have problems. This problem was something they already had, but it was Dick who made it become more serious...
