Chapter 96 Promotion to Core Players!Three goals lead Inter Milan!
Martin assisted Dost to score and the scoreboard showed a score of 2:0.

The frenzied atmosphere in the public arena was also completely detonated by this goal, pushing it to the highest peak since the start of the game.

The on-site director gave multiple slow-motion replays in succession, allowing fans watching the live broadcast of the game to fully experience the wonderful moment when Martin faced Juan Jesus with a 360° turn and assisted Dost to score.

Almost every commentator marveled at Martin's 360° turn and assist Dorst during the fast movement.

Martin, who sent the assist, knew best how flawed the technique just now was. If it wasn't for his quick response, turning around 360° at high speed would have become a joke.

In this regard, he also spurs himself from the bottom of his heart.

Next, make those quick turns as little as possible.

Affected by insufficient balance ability, turning around too quickly can easily cause the center of gravity to become unstable and fall to the ground.

Wolfsburg took a two-goal lead less than half an hour into the game, and the fans of the home team in the auditorium were extremely excited, creating waves of cheers.

Under the continuous encouragement of the mighty momentum, the home players who performed well did not take long to complete the reversal of possession with a unified attack.

The Inter Milan players, who were two goals behind, played quite aggrieved. If they wanted to attack, they could not threaten Benalio to guard the goal. The poor defense caused Handanovic to be tested frequently.

For shots from a distance, Handanovic can still keep the goal clean through excellent reactions and goal line skills, but it is easy to be helpless when facing shots from inside the penalty area.

In order to ensure the safety of the goal, Mancini believes that the offense should be strengthened as appropriate, forcing Wolfsburg, which has a two-goal lead, to focus on defense.

As for the defensive issue that may lead to a transition from defense to offense, he intends to require players to actively counter-grab after losing the ball.

If it doesn't work, make up for it with a foul.

But it takes courage to make such a decision. It is too risky to strengthen the offense before playing 180/1 of the 4 minutes of the two rounds.

After struggling for a long time, he still couldn't make up his mind.

The Inter Milan players on the field did not receive Mancini's tactical adjustments and could only play according to the tactics formulated before the game.

If the score is still 0:0 or 0:1, there is no problem with the game according to the original plan.

But now Inter Milan is two goals behind, and it is difficult to narrow the point difference without making changes, and it may even be further expanded by the home team.

As the transition from offense to defense almost resulted in conceding the ball, Mancini decided to stabilize the defense first, and then wait for the opportunity.

Although some players on the field believe that strengthening the offense is the most correct choice, they are very disciplined in tactics and fully implement the tactical changes made by Mancini.

In addition, it is always right to keep a low profile when playing away games.

Wolfsburg, leading by two goals, also consciously slowed down the pace and allocated physical energy reasonably.

In the second half of the league, there are only a few main frame players. It would not be worthwhile to get injured at this juncture.

For Hei Jin, there are two most important players in his tactical system.

One is De Bruyne and the other is Martin.

Other players have injuries and replacements, but De Bruyne and Martin will be hurt if one of them is injured.

The home fans continued to cheer for the players on the field, as if they had endless energy.

The overwhelming shouts lasted for a long time.

After a short silence, the Inter Milan fans who accompanied the team quickly recovered their support for the players, sang the team song, and cheered for the struggling players on the field.

In the away game, the team facing Wolfsburg is able to beat Bayern at home, so falling behind is a reasonable result.

The Europa League knockout round is a two-round match. It doesn't matter if you lose in the first round away from home. It's no big deal to go back to the home stadium San Siro and win the second round.

0:2 back home, there is still hope.

Inter Milan strengthened their defense, and the home team consciously slowed down their offensive and defensive rhythms. The scene was much worse than the previous half hour.

However, such a situation is very beneficial to the emotions of the fans on both sides of the game. If there is no threatening ball, there will be no ups and downs of emotional changes.

Very friendly to those fans with a history of heart disease.

But for those neutral fans, it's a bit boring, and the lack of bright spots makes them lack the desire to continue watching the game.

Therefore, the channel tuned to the other Europa League 1/8 final first-leg matches that were being played at the same time.

However, the real fans hold their breath at this time and watch carefully.

Before the storm, there is often calm.

During the boring game process, it is also possible to hide murderous intentions.

Heijin's team seems to be slowing down the offensive rhythm, but it is actually waiting for Inter Milan's defense to expose problems.

Why not Mancini?
He did ask the team to stabilize the defense first, but the key is to wait for opportunities to attack.

Therefore, games that slow down the offensive rhythm are still very entertaining.

The preparation of each goal has always required a long time to prepare and organize, and then grasp or create opportunities in the fleeting opportunities through key players.

But the well-prepared masters always click to the end, so as to leave room for the next move.

The passage of time in high-level events is often very fast, and it comes to the end of the first half in a blink of an eye.

The players on both sides of the game tightened their defense again under the signal of their respective head coaches to prevent conceding the ball in the four time periods when conceding the ball is most likely to occur in the whole game.

0:3 is unacceptable to Inter Milan, and 2:1 to Wolfsburg also has a big psychological gap.

Entering the halftime stage with the current score is the tacit consent of both sides of the game.

With the whistle of the referee Maziniak, the focus of the first round of the Europa League 1/8 finals at the Volkswagen Arena was announced to enter the intermission.

Players from both sides entered the locker room through the player tunnel, and the home fans in the Volkswagen Arena were extremely excited, dancing and creating a fanatical atmosphere for the game.

The excited fans stopped releasing energy until the players were completely in the player tunnel.

After 45 minutes of almost crazy shouting, the fans also consumed a lot.

They had to take advantage of the break to eat something to refuel for the struggle in the second half.

Throat lozenges are also a must-have 'magic medicine' for professional fans.

Many fans took advantage of this time to visit the toilets and stadium stores, and some bought hamburgers, Coke, draft beer and other foods in the mobile stores in the stands.

Home team locker room.

Assistant coach Bremser closed the door of the locker room, and the noise from the stadium stopped abruptly.

Head coach Hei Jin quickly took the tactical board after the players simply wiped their sweat, and explained to the players what they should pay attention to in the second half of the game.

Players listened while eating quick calorie-providing foods like bananas, energy bars, chocolate, chicken salad, and more.

Throughout the first half, their physical consumption was really a bit high.

After explaining the tactical adjustment, Hei Jin clapped his hands vigorously to encourage the players: "Continue to work harder in the second half, and strive to end the two-round knockout round early at home. Do you have confidence?"

"Have confidence!"

The players spoke in unison.

Not long after, the starting players from both sides of the game returned to the court.

Inter Milan, which was two goals behind, took the lead in making adjustments, and the young Croatian international Kovacic replaced Hernanes.

……

"Kovacic replaced Hernanes. Mancini's adjustment was counterpoint. It seems that he was dissatisfied with the performance of the Brazil international in the first half."

PP sports commentator Zhan Junlang said.

His commentator partner Li Yuankui nodded and smiled: "Hernanes played really badly in the first half. He didn't play the role of offensive organization at all, and he didn't show his excellent dribbling ability. Kovacic The technical characteristics are more direct, and the ability to hold the ball is strong. Perhaps his appearance can bring Inter Milan a different tactical play."

In the second half, Inter Milan, which had a kick-off advantage, quickly passed Kovacic's excellent ability to hold the ball and ignited the battle to Wolfsburg's defensive half.

The Wolfsburg players were very focused and compact at the beginning of the second half, and they did not give Kovacic any chance to pass the threatening ball.

Offensive playmaking, of course, is never achieved overnight.

Kovacic knows this truth, so he is very patient to find the home team's defensive space in the middle through passing and cutting running positions and excellent dribbling skills.

It has to be said that Kovacic's performance on the field is really eye-catching, and Inter Milan's next offense is also completely new, with wave after wave of offense like a tide.

In the 5th minute of the second half, Icardi, who was active on the right side of the top circle of the penalty area, received a pass from Kovacic to get a kicker.

Knoch stepped forward to block a half-beat late, but fortunately goalkeeper Benalio was very focused on defense, fell to the left to make a save and stretched out his palm to save the ball outside the goal post...

Inter Milan gets a corner kick.

Ranocchia, Juan Jesus, Icardi and other good headers entered the Wolfsburg penalty area one after another, preparing to compete for the landing.

Set-piece offense is often an important means of scoring.

Especially for Inter Milan, whose offense has not been effective for a long time.

Martin is 1.8 meters tall and has good header ability, but his confrontation ability is poor and his jumping ability is slightly insufficient. Therefore, his defensive corner kick task is more responsible for marking people and upper body, and does not give marking players the opportunity to take off easily.

Kovacic, who was in charge of taking the corner kick, felt good with the ball, but the feeling of the corner kick was a lot worse.

The kicked football streaked a rainbow over the penalty area and flew across the touchline from their attacking side.

Martin at the far end of the goal quickly ran to the defensive right sideline with the football.

The several Wolfsburg offensive players on the field were refreshed and worked together.

After the Inter players realized it, Shaqiri, Thornton, Guarin and several other players ran towards Jilavoji, Vierinha and Naldo who were supporting them.

The ball boy is very good at coming. When he saw Martin running over to ask for the ball, he immediately wiped the football with his jersey and threw it over.

Martin, who took the football, quickly threw the football to Vierinha, who leaned over, and the latter directly used the arch of his right foot to push the football back.

Martin first used the stop effect attached to the stop master to stop the ball more than half a meter in front of him, then stepped forward with his left foot to stand still, supporting his body, and quickly kicked the inside of the instep of his right foot towards the middle and lower part of the football.

The football rose from the right sideline of Wolfsburg about five or six meters away from the bottom line, and flew obliquely towards the offensive area in front of the junction of the left sideline and the center line.

"Oops!"

Inter Milan coach Mancini suddenly realized something.

According to his arrangement during the half-time break, Wolfsburg had to press high when they got a throw-in in the backcourt near the baseline.

Strive to complete the counter-robbery and fight back on the spot.

The first task of the Inter Milan players who have switched from offense to defense is to put pressure on the players of the home team who throw the ball in the backcourt!
The formation position is relatively chaotic due to the influence of the corner kick attack, but they are orderly moving towards the left side of the attack.

Only central defender Ranocchia, Juan Jesus and defensive midfielder Medel run back along the middle, which also creates an emptiness on the right side of the defense.

Martin, who quickly threw the football, received the ball back from Vierinha and handled it very simply, capturing the best passing route through a wide field of vision.

So, his stop + long pass was done in one go.

The football kicked in and out flies diagonally towards the other side of the field.

"aoaooaoaooooo—"

De Bruyne's running route in excellent condition in this game was in the same beat as Martin's long pass with an advance amount, which immediately caused deafening loud shouts from the home fans.

They can clearly see that there are no defensive players near De Bruyne, and it is the player closest to the center line between the players on both sides!

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun shouted emotionally: "Martin's long pass is really too accurate! This is a direct one-handed ball to De Bruyne!"

Ranocchia and Juan Jesus are helpless, but they are too far away from De Bruyne.

I can only run back in a straight line with all my strength to see if I can block De Bruyne's inward route.

Handanovic is a model player who strives to transform from a traditional goalkeeper to a modern goalkeeper. His goal-line skills are top-notch, and the success rate of short and long passes is among the best among European goalkeepers. However, his shortcoming is his ability to cover outside the penalty area. generally.

If it was Neuer, the moment Martin sent the pass, he would fight with the opposing player, and Handanovic instinctively stepped back.

It is also true that he lost the best chance to save the team.

The diagonal long pass sent by Martin was just right in advance. De Bruyne, who was running at high speed, crossed the center line, smashed the bouncing football with his forehead in the direction of travel, and chased after the football without slowing down.

Hei Jin, who was standing in the coach's command area of ​​the home team, couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly.

Once the single-handed De Bruyne sends the ball into Handanovic to guard the goal, a three-goal lead at home will mean that the possibility of advancing to the quarter-finals of the Europa League will be greatly improved!

De Bruyne's basic skills are very solid, and the combination of man and ball is very good.

Juan Jesus' speed belongs to the fast category among central defenders, but he has not been able to greatly reduce the distance with De Bruyne due to the distance.

He worked very hard, but many times his hard work may not change anything.

In just a few seconds, De Bruyne, who dribbled the ball at high speed, quickly came to the front of the left penalty area.

Handanovic, who retreated to the small penalty area line, saw De Bruyne, who had slowed down a little, waded the ball into the penalty area, and decisively abandoned the goal.

At the same time, De Bruyne slowed down his dribbling speed.

Adjust the step point and shoot directly as soon as you pass the penalty area line.

Handanovic, who had just taken two steps out, slammed on the spot and instinctively fell to the left side of his body when he saw the football coming close to the ground.

De Bruyne's close-to-the-ground shot is aimed at the underarm space exposed by the goalkeeper's body!

"Goooooooooal—"

German Sky TV commentator Marcel Leff drew a long voice: "Kevin De Bruyne's goal helped Wolfsburg lead Inter Milan 3-0 at home! If they can extend this score to the whole game The game is over, qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Europa League is a certainty!"

 Sorry, I have to watch the children on weekends, so I don’t have any time code words, so I will make up two changes today, and make up at least three changes during the five days on weekdays.
