Chapter 454: Black Three Minutes
Inter Milan fought too much alone, and was unable to take advantage of the victory to pursue Lazio's morale and confidence, giving Lazio a chance to breathe.
In the 35th minute, Sarat dunked left and right, breaking through Stankovic. Stankovic made a foul and received a yellow card.
This yellow card weakened Inter Milan's midfielder's protection against the back line. Then Lazio made a beautiful pass and cut cooperation at the front of Inter's penalty area. Brocki's shot from the top of the penalty area was saved by goalkeeper Cesar.
Mourinho had a dangerous intuition and was about to remind his players to pay attention to defense, but then Inter Milan took several beautiful attacks in a row. Zanetti, Milito, and Etoo all got the chance to shoot. Etoo also drifted past Lazio goalkeeper Muslei and hit an empty goal. Unfortunately, the angle was too small and the ball missed the post.
This series of offenses confused Mourinho, making Mourinho feel that although his players were a little bit lazy, the opponent did not have the ability to threaten Inter Milan's goal yet. After looking at the time, it was 41 minutes. Mourinho decided to wait until the end of the first half before making a substitution adjustment.
Danger always comes in unexpected ways.
When Inter Milan players were given consecutive counterattack opportunities, it seemed that it was only a matter of time to score the second goal. Lazio took an attack. Stankovic, who drew a yellow card, broke through Lucio again. Seeing that Sarat was about to break into the penalty area, Lucio had no choice but to pull Sarat down.
Referee Molganti showed Lucio a yellow card and gave Lazio a free kick.
Lazio's positional battle could not find Inter Milan's life goal, and he placed his hopes on free kicks. All the players with offensive ability came to Inter Milan's penalty area.
So many teammates went to the penalty area to grab the spot, but Lazio defender Kolarov directly shot.
The ball hit the wall and bounced out. Lazio's front midfielder Matuzaren reacted quickly. He caught up with the ball and shot Cesar's right corner of defense.
The distance was too close, and Cesar hurriedly stretched out his leg to block it. The ball hit Cesar's leg and bounced back, and just hit Matuzaren, who was following up, and flew into the net.
1-1, in the 43rd minute, Lazio equalized the score.
Inter Milan fans were stunned, and no one thought that Lazio scored in this way.
A very small number of Lazio fans began to cheer, especially those who came from Italy, who waved banners with "8124" and shouted "Champion".
8124 kilometers is the distance between Milan and Yanjing.
For Lazio fans who come from afar, a beautiful goal is the best reward for them.
The blow came too suddenly, even the experienced Inter Milan was a little panicked for a moment.
Lazio is not as rude as Inter Milan. After Inter Milan kicked off, he immediately made another fierce press. Etoo's dribbling in the frontcourt was snatched. After Lazio's midfielder Mauri intercepted, he immediately passed a long pass to the frontcourt to find his captain Rockey.
Rocky's running position was very flexible and his mind was very clear. Seeing that goalkeeper Cesar was a bit ahead, he kept kicking the ball before Lucio and Cambiaso closed the ball.
Cesar was too late to jump back and the ball flew into the net from his head.
2:1
In the 45th minute, Rocky reversed the score for Inter Milan.
Within two minutes, Lazio scored two goals, and Inter Milan players and fans were stunned. They stood there at a loss, and they couldn't even believe that this was true.
Mourinho's face turned pale, and after kicking the water bottle away with a bang, he turned back to the locker room.
The live commentator He Hui fainted and said, "Oh my God! Is this black three minutes? Inter Milan came to the Bird's Nest and became a Chinese team?"
Liu Jianhong couldn't understand it either, "Inter Milan is also an experienced team with many old players. It's too inappropriate to be scored twice in three minutes."
One minute after stoppage time, referee Molganti blew the whistle at the end of the first half. Lazio's players stayed on the court excitedly to celebrate with the fans, while Inter Milan's players lowered their heads in annoyance and hurried back to the locker room.
After all the players entered the locker room, Mourinho closed the door with a "bang" and yelled at them before the players sat down:
"After Gao Xiaodong scored, what are you playing? Is it football? Which country's football do you play, what tactics do you play? Where is this? This is the Bird's Nest! This is the Cup Stadium! This is the Serie A championship against the Italian Cup! Do you think this is a wild court? Do you think your opponent is an amateur team?"
The players sat down with their heads down, saying nothing.
Mourinho paused for a moment and his words became sharper, "You played like shit in the next twenty minutes. You are not worthy of the title of Serie A champion! Are you very high-level? Are you very skilled? Are you Messi or Ronaldo? Are you Maradona or Pele? Why don't you pass the ball? Are you usually trained to the Atlantic Ocean? "
"Don't think you are big-name stars. You are very awesome. I tell you, you are nothing in my eyes? What honors have you received in the club? What honors have you received in the national team? I tell you, if you play football like you, you can't get anything."
After the carpet bombing, Mourinho began to strike accurately again, "Gao Xiaodong, the front midfielder of my team, I said before the game that the ball should pass by his feet. How many of you have passed the ball to him? How many of you have passed the ball to him in total? Don't think I'm so foolish, I remember why not pass the ball to the front midfielder? Just because he is young? Although he is young, he has won the Portuguese championship, Portuguese best player, Portuguese best scorer, Champions League best scorer, and Champions League runner-up. Many of you will never be able to get such achievements in your lifetime!"
When Mourinho said this, Cambiaso felt that he could not bear it anymore. He, the boss of the South American gang, had to stand up and say something, otherwise with Mourinho's escort, Gao Xiaodong and Quaresma would definitely be even more rampant.
"It's not that we don't pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong, it's that his position is not good, I can't pass it to him, Daoshanqiu."
Cambiaso's way of being neither humble nor arrogant.
Mourinho sneered and said, "Do you think I'm not good at brain? In the 6th minute, you passed the ball to Zanetti, it's okay, but Gao Xiaodong ran away from the defense and was closer to the goal, so why not pass it? In the 13th minute, Gao Xiaodong ran about 25 meters in front of the penalty area. If you pass an empty space, he can shoot directly, why not pass it..."
Mourinho has an amazing memory and Boas's assistance, and almost everything he had been born on the field could be recited, and it was impossible for the player to fool him.
But Cambiaso was also very cunning and said, "Yes, Gao Xiaodong may be in a better position, but I didn't see it."
Not seeing a word is enough to explain everything and also enough to cover up everything.
Mourinho knew Cambiaso was lying, but he couldn't say that you would definitely be able to see it.
But at this time, Gao Xiaodong said it was neither yin nor yang, "Cambiyasuo, you can pass the sword ball to me. It is your business whether to pass it or not, it is my business if you can't get it. It is my business if you are injured or not. Well, everyone can pass it."
Cambiaso sneered, "This is what you said."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "I'm going to make a fuss when I say something."
"Gao Xiaodong..." Mourinho felt that this was definitely inappropriate, but he was about to stop it, but Gao Xiaodong nodded to him. Mourinho knew that this Chinese boy was extraordinary and changed his words: "...You must trust your teammates, dare to pass the ball, dare to cooperate at the front of the penalty area, Lucio, you can insert it, but reduce the assists to dribble, Macon, play more with the middle players, Etoo, it is not a one-on-one opportunity, you reduce breakthroughs and make the final blow... Stankovic, you have a yellow card, take a break in the second half... Quaresma, you play for Stankovic, remember to pass more..."
After Mourinho finished yelling at the players, he made tactical adjustments, removed Stankovic, replaced Quaresma, turned the formation into 43, and strengthened the offense.
Inter Milan players all know that Mourinho took the opportunity to arrange his confidants, but he played poorly in the first half and was still behind in the score. They dared not and had no shame to raise objections.
