Chapter 82: Desperate Inter Milan
Arsenal's overall advancement is centered on Wilshere.
Due to Lucky's retreat, Arsenal's offensive pressure came to Wilshere's side.
Mourinho's idea is simple, win steadily.
Counterattack as much as possible while ensuring defense.
Arsenal does this very well.
The overall defense is watertight, and when combined with sharp counterattacks, it can always put great pressure on Inter Milan's defense.
Lucky sent the ball to Wilshere's feet.
At this time, Wilshere happened to overlap with Perisic.
Perisic rushed over and stretched out his foot to steal.
But Wilshere did not sit still. Instead of waiting to catch the ball, he retreated a certain distance, passed Perisic, and turned in the opposite direction the moment the opponent stretched out his foot.
This moment of judgment allowed Wilshere to complete the pass with the ball.
This move also won praise from the commentator.
"Many people are saying that Wilshere's condition is not as good as before. He can no longer dribble like before. But this is largely unexplained. Of course, Wilshere's dribbling His personal ability has indeed declined somewhat, but his role in the team is more of a ball-handling and transfer point. Today's Arsenal does not need a central midfielder like Wilshere to charge into the battle. The two wingers and even the center's return Any retreat can create opportunities for them to attack.”
"It's not that Wilshere doesn't pass people, it's that the tactical system determines that he needs to play like this."
Richard nodded and reconsidered; "Yes, Wilshere's dribbling state is not as good as before, but he can still make threatening dribblings, especially when Kai's position is higher. His task It will become dribbling. At the beginning of the season, under Arsenal’s tactical changes, we were able to see Wilshere’s wonderful dribbling scenes many times.”
"But back to this game, Kai's position was deeper, and Wilshere's functions also changed!"
While the two were talking, the ball returned to Wilshere's feet again.
This time, Wilshere looked up into space on the far side.
The moment he deceived the opponent's player into grabbing the ball, Wilshere completed the start and pass.
"pretty!"
Andy Gray laughed and said: "Look! What do I say, Wilshere's passing is still very good."
Wilshere passed Brozovic and began to face the opponent's back line.
The processing at this time is particularly critical.
All eyes were on Wilshere to see how he would handle it.
But their focus was obviously wrong.
Wilshere passed the ball forward, an ordinary safety ball.
At that position, Giroud has already completed his retreat.
"Damn it!"
Devlai cursed secretly and yelled, "Go up alone!"
Hearing this, central defender partner Skrinha had no choice but to bite the bullet.
However, Giroud had no intention of turning around. He followed the opponent's central defender and distributed the ball slightly to the left.
In that gap, Wilshere quickly moved forward and swept the ball into the penalty area.
An ordinary hit-the-wall pass, but with the cooperation of Arsenal's overall system, it actually showed an amazing effect.
Wilshere entered the penalty area and the other central defender was unable to retreat, which instantly made the situation awkward.
Moreover, this location was a bit far away from Develai, so he could not catch up immediately.
The only thing that can be limited is the full-back Asamoah on the right.
Asamoah also rushed over immediately.
This time, he learned well. He rushed towards Wilshere from the side and front. On the one hand, he could block the shot, and at the same time, he could also complete the pass block on the right side.
Sure enough, Wilshere moved to the left, further opening up the gap on the right side.
Asamoah followed up again.
At this moment, Wilshere suddenly stopped and used his body flexibility to pull out half of his body.
"Wilshere!
The ball is going to be passed! "
After pulling out of his position, Wilshere sent the ball to the gap in the penalty area on the right side.
And there, Aubameyang easily caught up with the ball and faced the goalkeeper standing in the middle to complete the push.
This kick was firm and tricky, and the ball almost missed the right post and flew into the goal.
Inter goalkeeper Handanovic couldn't even react.
They could only watch the ball enter the net.
“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal
!
"
"Aubameyang scores!
Arsenal's wonderful offensive cooperation, through Wilshere's advancement organization, Aubameyang completed the final shot! "
"This goal highlights Arsenal's integrity and discipline. It broke through Inter Milan's defense very resolutely and easily!"
"Arsenal leads Inter Milan 1:0!"
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray cheered loudly.
This goal was an easy one and Arsenal's overall performance was amazing.
During the entire advancement process, the speed was not fast, but every ball was passed steadily and accurately, which numbed Inter Milan's defense.
In the end, Aubameyang completed the shot, a perfect ending!
Seeing this goal, the Italian commentary desk went silent.
Not because of the goal itself, but because of the things that went into it.
Arsenal made the best choices in terms of overall scheduling, advancing performance, passing choices, etc.
It can be said that this goal is desperate.
It can even be said that even if you know that the opponent is going to attack like this, the possibility of being able to defend is extremely small.
After the silence, the Italian commentator suddenly sighed: "Arsenal scored, yes! This is a result we don't want to see. Although we failed in the first round, we are still looking forward to the second round." For this confrontation, we expect Inter Milan to make better adjustments and hope they can put on a wonderful game, but"
"We need to admit that Arsenal's strength is desperate."
"Just like this goal, as much as I hate to admit it, Arsenal's overall scheduling and performance is suffocating."
"In the last game, Arsenal used this method to defeat Barcelona. We didn't experience it personally at the time. Only now can we understand what Barcelona felt like at that time!"
"With this kind of defensive performance and this kind of counterattack ability, this Arsenal team is definitely the most difficult to beat in this Champions League."
Even the opposing commentator wanted to recognize Arsenal's performance and make such comments, which shows how well Arsenal played.
In the field, the Inter Milan players had their hands on their waists one by one, and their expressions were extremely heavy.
This goal gave them a sense of desperation.
They have pressed as hard as possible and even made a lot of changes.
But facing this Arsenal, they still couldn't score a goal, let alone an advantage.
Inter Milan's tactical decision is that they need to gain an advantage quickly in the early stages of the game.
They worked hard for this.
But the final result is still lagging behind.
This blow, this feeling that all their plans were shattered made them extremely uncomfortable.
On the sidelines, Inter Milan's head coach Spalletti also shook his head and sighed. He rubbed his eyebrows and looked like he had a headache.
The method I tried to come up with was not only ineffective, but was easily cracked by the opponent and lost the ball first.
This feels really bad.
Even Spalletti needs to admit that there is a high probability that he will give up this game and fight with Barcelona.
In this case, the game fell into a dull session.
Inter Milan's desire to attack became very low, and their overall defense began to shrink and defend.
"Inter Milan started to retreat on defense. They are okay. This is also an idea."
The commentator did not say it clearly. After all, negative things like giving up the game cannot be said directly, even if Inter Milan really did it.
Inter Milan's current posture is to defend as much as possible, prevent the opponent from scoring, and at the same time prepare for a game, which is the last Champions League game with Barcelona.
After Barcelona defeated Eindhoven, Inter Milan had to kill Barcelona if they wanted to qualify.
Of course, this condition is equally harsh, but at least it's not as desperate as playing with Arsenal!
