Chapter 5 Two goals ahead

In recent years, due to the economic downturn, the investment of some giants in Serie A has decreased. The lineup of Inter Milan has also changed a lot from two years ago. Now there are basically no superstars with a big name in their team, but most of the main players are powerful players, which also shows Inter Milan's current business ideas. More pragmatic.

Of course, the strength of Inter Milan without superstars is still inevitable. Last season, they stumbled into the top four in the league and kept a place in the Champions League. In the game against Gosho, they fell behind soon after the opening.

In the 6th minute, Lima's middle breakthrough almost opened the record for Gosho. Unfortunately, his shot after breaking into the penalty area slightly missed the left post. This dangerous situation also scared Inter Milan fans into a cold sweat.

In the 9th minute, Cassano's breakthrough shot gave Rocky a chance to shoot, but Rocky's shot was too straight and was directly obtained by Chekarelly.

Then Inter Milan was suppressed in their own half-time. In just six or seven minutes, Gosho got three consecutive shooting opportunities. If it hadn't been for their excellent performance of Slovenian goalkeeper Handanovic, he would have taken the lead now.

Stramaggioni couldn't sit still. He stood up from the coach's seat and shouted at his players to strengthen their attack.

Inter Milan's players are hard to say, and they still need to strengthen their attack? It's good to keep the current situation. The Gosau team put too much pressure on them. Their midfield players have excellent skills, strong physical fitness, and strong tactical execution, so that the players of Inter Milan can't keep up with the rhythm of Gosho at all. They don't know why Lin Fenglei has so many freak-level players.

Forced by Stramaggioni, Inter Milan had to launch an attack reluctantly after getting the ball. Croatian midfielder Covacic quickly advanced with the ball from the back court, passed Lima and carried the ball to the front court.

Kovasic also came from Dinamo Zagreb, Croatia. He was a short-term teammate with Antunović and moved to Inter during the winter break last season. He has excellent skills, strong disking ability, outstanding overall view and organizational ability, and is widely favored by European football. However, he did not have many opportunities to play in the starting game after he came to Inter Milan, so his game experience is much different from that of Antunović, who is only half a year old. Now Antunović has become the core of the Croatian national team's midfield and the main midfielder of the European champion Gosho, but he is only emerging.

After Kovacic took the ball to the front court, he found that there were not many people who picked him up in the front court, and they were all stared at. He couldn't find the ball point for a while. Just after he hesitated a little, Ivanovic decisively grabbed the ball, cut off the ball under Kovacic's feet, and then directly made a diagonal pass and handed over the ball. It was given to Avazzini on the left.

After two consecutive wall-collisions with Egman in the high-speed dribble, Avanzini broke through the defense of Inter Milan right-back Jolatan, and then passed the bottom. This time, he passed a low-level ball, and the ball quickly passed in front of Inter Milan's goal. In front of the goal, Inter Milan's return player and Gosau's bag The players were in a mess, and Inter Milan's goalkeeper Handanovic could not attack. Just as the ball was about to pass the goal, in the chaos behind the goal, Kodingho stretched out his foot to poke the ball, and the ball flew into the empty goal.

Codingho raised his hands and ran to the fan stands of Gosho, and then made a dive and fell to the ground. His teammates behind him pressed under him. The Gosho fans cheered loudly.

Stramaggioni's face was very ugly. He let the Gosho team take the first goal, and the ball was not easy to play. He looked enviously at Gosho's strikers Egman and Kadingho, and then at the team's 37-year-old striker Roki and 32-year-old Cassano. He shook his head. He thought to himself that if I had Egman and Kadingho in my hand, I could defeat all my opponents.

The imagination is beautiful, and the reality is cruel. Stramaggioni sighed and then walked to the sidelines to urge the players to strengthen the offensive.

Kovacic bit his lip. The reason for losing the ball just now was his mistake in carrying the ball. He blamed himself very much. He was full of breath. After kicking the ball again, he played very hard, hoping to atone for the team.

However, it is not enough to rely on Kovacic's efforts alone. Now there is indeed a big gap between Inter Milan and Gosho's overall strength. This can be seen from the 41-year-old captain of Inter Milan, Sanetti, who can still serve as the main force in Inter Milan.

Inter Milan really wants to organize an offensive and equalize the score as soon as possible, but the gap in strength has always been suppressed by the Gosau team. If it hadn't been for the excellent performance of the defense line, the score would have been expanded by the Gosau team.

In the 40th minute of the game, Hollensten was knocked to the ground by Sanetti on the right side of the front court. On-duty referee Weiner awarded Gosho a free kick in the front court and verbally warned Sanetti.

Ribeiro took this free kick, and his free kick was very good. Egman jumped high at the back point, beat Inter Milan central defender La Nokia, headed the goal, 2-0, and Gosho expanded the score.

Egman was so excited that he ran to Lin Fenglei. Before the game, he praised Haikou for scoring more goals in this game to help the Gosho team win the championship trophy, but in the first 40 minutes, he didn't dribble well and didn't score a goal. Now he finally opened, and he completely put down the burden.

Egman ran to Lin Fenglei, stretched out his right index finger, and shouted, "First!"

Lin Fenglei nodded with a smile, and Egman was immediately thrown to the ground by his swarming teammates.

Stramaggioni was in a very bad mood. He clearly heard Egman's words, "the first". What does this mean? Is it not enough to enter one, but to enter the second and the third? What do you think of our Inter Milan?

However, Stramaggioni is really dissatisfied with Inter Milan's performance today. They are too weak in front of the Gosho team, right? It doesn't look like a high-grade team at all. I also want to return Lin Fenglei's words to him intact after winning the European Super Cup. Now it seems unlikely. Fortunately, I haven't told the reporter my intention.

The last few minutes of the first half ended quickly in Stramaggioni's wild thoughts. Although the Goshao team has been launching a fierce attack, it took the last few minutes for Inter Milan to return to the defense and did not let the Goshao team take advantage of the hot iron to expand the score.

The whistle at the end of the first half of the game blew, and Stramaggioni took the lead in returning to the locker room with a pale face. After the players of Inter Milan returned to the locker room, he shouted, "Look at what you played in the first half? Is there any dignity of a strong team? I don't want to see such a game in the second half. In the second half, you must attack and score goals!"

The faces of Inter Milan's players showed an indignant look. It's not that they didn't work hard in the first half of the game. It's really a strength gap. As the head coach, regardless of the strength gap between the two sides, you have to let us attack. It's our fault for playing like this.

Seeing that his teammates looked wrong, Sanetti quickly took the initiative to stand up: "We really didn't play well in the first half. As the captain, I am responsible. Coach, you can rest assured that we will play better in the second half than in the first half. However, the strength of the Goshao team is indeed very strong, and we can't attack blindly. It may be better to stabilize our defense first and then counterattack.

Sanetti is an old minister of Inter Milan. He has a high prestige in the locker room. He is older than Stramaggioni. Stramaggioni must give him face. After listening to Zanetti's words, he nodded: "Well, in the second half, let's stand on defense first, stand firm, and then fight back, and strive to win back. Points. This champion is very important to us!"
