Chapter 42 The Sleepy Game

The following week, on December 2008, 12, Inter Milan beat Lazio, the former Serie A powerhouse, 7-3 away. Zhang Han was suspended for one game due to a red card and did not play with the team.

On December 2008, 12, BJ time, 10:3 in the morning, Weser Stadium, Inter Milan's Champions League away game against German powerhouse Werder Bremen.

The game started.

The Inter Milan players played very relaxed, because no matter what the result of the game, they can easily enter the knockout stage of the Champions League.

Zhang Han saw his teammates relaxed, but he couldn't be happy anyway.

In this game, Inter Milan's second goalkeeper Toldo finally returned from injury. He no longer needs to be a guest goalkeeper and returned to the starting central defender position.

Standing in the backcourt, he saw his teammates slacking off and kicking weakly. He was very relaxed and his face was extremely ugly.

If he remembers correctly, this game should be a battle of life and death. In the original future, Inter Milan lost [-]-[-] at home to Werder Bremen, and the score was overtaken.

And it was this seemingly insignificant loss that caused Inter Milan to fall to second in the group, and then they were very honored to draw Rooney and Ronaldo, and won the European championship last season. Two Manchester United.

In the end, after only one round of the knockout round, Inter Milan, whose ambition was unpaid, went home.

And this is the result that Zhang Han doesn't want to see the last time. He doesn't allow such a scenario to happen, so he must win this game.

Zhang Han shouted loudly on the field, "Guys, cheer me up, we must win, we must win."

However, the effect of his roar was not great. Under the defense of Werder Bremen, Inter Milan had nothing to do with them. After 5 minutes of the opening attack, Inter Milan's attack was weak.

The attack was unfavorable, and the consequences of being too relaxed immediately appeared. A frustrated Inter Milan attack immediately turned into a strong counterattack by the opponent.

The thing is like this, Stankovic's careless pass in the frontcourt was directly intercepted, and then the midfielder made a diagonal long pass, which was simple and rough, but very effective.

The rest is Werder Bremen's No. 13 winger racing against Inter Milan's Maicon, but the Brazilian is not good at speed, so he is far behind.

With only two passes, the 13-year-old winger ran wildly along the sideline, went straight to the baseline, and made a cross.

At this time, their No. 9 power forward had already rushed into the penalty area, facing the ball with a violent header, diving forward to the top.

Bang!

What a loud trembling sound of the door frame, Toldo was startled into a cold sweat, and a goal was produced by a hair's breadth.

Toldo was furious and yelled at his teammates, trying to wake them up from their drowsiness, but it seemed that the effect was not great, and the Inter Milan men were still walking.

"Bring me up, do you all want to lose?"

After Zhang Han and Toldo yelled repeatedly, the Inter Milan players became more sober and continued to attack Werder Bremen.

This is the brilliance of the opponent's coach. Like the coaches of later generations who saw through Mourinho's tactics, when Inter Milan got unlimited ball rights, they became unable to play.

At this point, I have to say that Mourinho's offensive tactical level is still far behind Guardiola's.

No one is perfect, every coach has his own special skills, not to belittle anyone or elevate someone, of course Zhang Han understands Mourinho's weakness, but he can't do anything about it.

The game became extremely difficult, and Inter Milan finally suffered from the iron barrel, just like others faced them.

But Werder Bremen has nothing to fear. The German team is basically hopeless to qualify, but they seem to have a grudge against Inter Milan, and they are ready to fight to the end.

In the 20th minute of the first half, Inter Milan couldn't attack for a long time, and Balotelli was cut down fiercely. Before the Inter Milan players stepped forward to ask the referee to argue, Werder Bremen's right back got the ball and went to them directly with a big foot Fast horse winger.

Exactly the same routine, and Inter Milan's seemingly tofu-like defense line was easily torn apart again, facing extreme danger.

Zhang Han desperately chased back, but it was still a step too late. He could only watch helplessly as the power forward leaped up and sent the ball into the Inter Milan gate with a powerful header.

The midfield kick-off again started Inter Milan's nightmare. Werder Bremen's defense was extremely strong, but relying on the precision and solidity of the German chariot, Inter Milan had no choice but to attack again and again without success.

The consequence of Inter Milan's unfavorable attack is repeated blows. If it weren't for the opponent's bad luck and the striker's poor ability to seize opportunities, I am afraid that the score will be stretched again.

In the 41st minute of the first half, Balotelli, who was finally unbearable at this time, lost his temper. Due to a conflict with an opponent player, he applied for a ruby ​​card and was sent off the field.

In less than a minute, Ibrahimovic raised his foot too high during a grab for the ball in the penalty area, and kicked the opponent's defender out with one kick, and he was also off the field.

Zhang Han couldn't help shaking his head when he saw this. Of course he knew that Ibrahimovic didn't do it on purpose, and he stopped at the last moment, but there was nothing he could do. Today's referee was obviously biased towards the German team.

However, what is funny is that Inter Milan was fined two people in a row, and they were no longer able to attack. Instead, the defense became safer because they also chose to retreat to defend.

And Mourinho also made personnel adjustments, replacing Samuel, Zhang Han's position was advanced, and he changed to play as a midfielder, forming a three midfielder with Muntari and Vieira, which stabilized the situation on the contrary.

In the position of the defensive midfielder, Zhang Han's advantages have been brought into greater play, and his strong athletic ability, quick reaction ability, and accurate running and stealing have been greatly displayed.

He galloped all over the field, covering an extremely wide area, and he could be seen almost no matter where he was.

His actions were still very effective. Only then did the Yuntai Bremen players who attacked came up realize that the guy was like a midfield barrier, and their simple and rude behavior was no longer effective.

Of course, the fans on the sidelines were not idle. Inter Milan fans would not boo their team.

On the other side, the Werder Bremen fans carried forward the German tradition, were neat and orderly, and couldn't help cheering for the home team.

The game was rather boring. Most of the time, the two sides seemed to have negotiated to launch a midfield strangling tactic. The ball always changed hands back and forth between the two sides, and it was almost difficult to form a goal.

Just like that, the drowsy first half of the game ended and entered the intermission.

In the blink of an eye, I don't know what Mourinho said in the locker room. When he came out of the player tunnel, each player seemed to have changed.

It is very curious to see them all full of energy and striding forward.
