Football: I carry forward Shaolin Kungfu

Although the players were reluctant to take back the sudden recovery, due to Conte's authority in the team, the players had to take the initiative to slow down the attack.

The two sidewalks were recovered, and the defense line retreated five meters.

The slowdown of Inter Milan's offensive rhythm has finally given Manchester City a breath of air!

"They recycled it, we can come out properly!"

On the back line, Kompany, the veteran captain with rich combat experience, began to direct the players to press out.

However, Blue Moon didn't dare to press too much. After all, after experiencing Inter Milan's counterattack, they had a big change in their opponent's strength and determination, and they didn't dare to underestimate Inter Milan as before.

In this way, the two teams fell into an anxious situation, both sides were attacking and defending, and there were back and forth.

However, the tempo is not slow. Even if there is an absolute chance to counterattack, the midfield commanders of both sides, Brozovic and JD.com, will take the initiative to slow down the tempo, first to ensure that the ball is not lost, and then to seek the overall cooperation of the team.

Less individual breakthrough, less adventure!

From the 30th minute of the game to the 15 minutes to the end of the first half.

Each shot twice, but both missed the target, and the scene was a bit dull.

But Manchester City regained the ball again, with 15% possession in 60 minutes!

The halftime whistle blows.

Meazza Stadium, Manchester City away fans area.

The two Manchester City fans breathed a sigh of relief!

These two people are the first round of the knockout round, in the lottery shop next to Manchester City's home stadium Etihad, Mike, who placed bets, and his friend Jamie.

Mike took out the instant hot dog from his bag and gnawed on it.

"Ball, ball, ball!"

"As long as the ball is at our feet, Guardiola will always win the game!"

"Well, what do I say, Inter Milan is a cowardly team. Their offensive will be gone in 15 minutes at most. Even if it is at home, facing us, the Italians dare not grab the whole game!"

Black Jamie used his mobile phone to take pictures of the players leaving the field. On the screen, Sterling was smiling and greeting the fans, looking in a good mood.

After all, even if the game ends 0-0, Manchester City will have a 1-0 advantage in total, eliminate Inter Milan and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League!

Therefore, Manchester City's players have nothing to worry about. I wish Inter Milan would take the initiative to slow down the pace.

Jamie excitedly said:

"Before I used to tease you, it seems that I should have bet with you a long time ago. Compared with Inter Milan, we have a more luxurious bench lineup. As long as we continue to press for a while in the second half, Inter Milan's physical fitness will definitely not be able to withstand it. After all, they Showed weakness at the end of the first half!"

Old Mike smiled and took out a lottery ticket from his pocket.

Before he traveled to Milan with the team, he bet £10000 on Manchester City to win at the lottery shop in Manchester!

He bet 500 pounds on Manchester City in the last round, and won 200 pounds, which made him very happy.

This time the old Mike made a desperate move and took out half of his pension at Barclays Bank and bet on Manchester City.

"Hahahaha, I used the 200 pounds I won last time to buy a whole set of train toys for my grandson in Edinburgh. He is having fun in the living room. Let me go to him next week. If I win this time Now, I'm going to Edinburgh by first class in Manchester, and I'm going to be extravagant!"

"Okay old Mike, the chances of winning are great. The game is over. Don't forget to treat me to a local meal in Milan. I'm already optimistic about a steak restaurant. Let's celebrate together!"

"It's decided in one word!" The two celebrated by high-fiving, as if the victory trophy was already in their hands.

Manchester City dressing room.

Guardiola sat the players down and handed them sports drinks.

"Boys, don't worry, don't panic, drink water well, and listen to me slowly while drinking."

Gua Shuai pressed his hands down to signal the big guys to calm down.

"There were some unexpected situations in the first half, but it doesn't matter. Inter Milan took the initiative to recover in the last 15 minutes of the first half. What does this mean?"

"They are still afraid of us, whether they are mentally or physically, it is difficult for them to resist us for 90 minutes!"

Several main players of Manchester City nodded, and they also came to the same conclusion as Gua.

"Inter Milan is really afraid of us, just like those teams in the Premier League!"

"The rhythm of Serie A is inherently slow. How can they press the whole court? I have watched many Serie A games, and they all swim slowly!"

Guardiola smiled and pointed to Kompany, "You are right, Kompany, after seeing Inter Milan retreat, you let your teammates press out a little bit, you did a good job, very good!"

"But, I need you guys to do more in the second half!"

"The most important thing is to continue the high-pressure play 15 minutes before the opening, put Inter Milan in their half, and don't let them have any chance to pass through the half! Press their back line, stick to their ball. Point Brozovic, put this Croatian in a cage! I need you to attack, attack like a tide, let Inter Milan breathe!"

In the Inter Milan locker room, the atmosphere was a little weird.

The team members are all suffocating!

"We obviously played very well. As long as we persevere, we are very likely to score. In the first half, we were only a window away from scoring. Why did we retreat!"

Varela was very dissatisfied. He slammed the ordinary water bottle on the ground with a bang, and the water splashed all over the floor!

Lautaro took off the shin guards and made a crackling sound with his big steel-like hands.

"I am a striker, I want to score, I must score! Instead of sitting back and waiting for Manchester City's mistakes to counterattack, this is our home court, we are not a weak team, we are Inter Milan!"

Team members, you talk, I talk, the atmosphere is tense.

The third goalkeeper, Bernie, the rock uncle, pricked up his ears, and quickly said to everyone:

"Conte is here, please be quiet!"

Conte strode into the dressing room, looking in a good mood.

He smiled and clapped,

"Well done lads, perfect first half!"

"We not only resisted Manchester City's attack, but also repeatedly threatened Manchester City's goal between 15 minutes and 30 minutes, which made us further believe that Manchester City is not invincible. We..."

Ye Chen was annoyed when he heard that!

He stood up abruptly, holding back his anger and said:

"Boss, I think if we didn't recover in the first half, we would have scored a goal long ago. We are behind in the total score. A draw is meaningless. We have to attack!"

"I didn't see how strong Manchester City is. As long as we press them, they are also very afraid. For more than ten minutes, we even played in the backcourt!"

"We are behind in the total score of Fairy, the first thing should be to score, we need at least one goal to ensure that we will not be eliminated in the Champions League!"

As soon as these words came out, the locker room fell silent!

Everyone thought the same as Ye Chen, and it was a very timid way to stop attacking at this time, and it was useless.

However, no one dared to directly raise this question in front of Conte.

They all know that Conte is a stubborn coach, and the last thing he likes is when someone questions him tactically.

Last season's main wing back Candreva was kicked out of the main lineup in the second round of the league because he refuted Conte's tactical deployment face to face!

However, Ye Chen also stood up now.

How will Conte react?

Everyone cautiously held their breath and looked at the two of them.

Conte's mouth twitched.

If it is someone else, even if it is an important player like Brozovic and Barrera, Conte will scold them face to face, and then replace them without mercy, even if it is such an important player in the Champions League knockout round. occasion!

In Conte's heart, he would rather have a player with average strength but obedient than a player with outstanding eyesight but disobedient!

However, Conte didn't dare to treat Ye Chen like this!
