Restricted Superstar

After Inter Milan contracted, Manchester United turned on the defensive and attacked, but it did not cause much threat. Five minutes later, the first half ended, the two sides closed their troops and returned to the locker room to rest.

Gao Xiaodong, who scored a goal, became the favorite of Inter Milan fans. When he left the game, he received a standing ovation from the fans. The players of Inter Milan also loved Gao Xiaodong very much, such as Zanetti and Eto'o. The old players all came over to touch Gao Xiaodong's head and pat his shoulder.

Back in the dressing room, Mourinho first praised all the players, and then deployed the tactics of the second half of the game, defending the counterattack, fighting the midfield, and don't press out to attack.

Finally, Mourinho made a move that puzzled all the players. He turned off the lights in the dressing room and started playing the video.

Gao Xiaodong whispered to Stankovic in surprise: "Does Mourinho want to show us a small movie?"

"This..." Stankovic smiled bitterly: "Musin wants to play music for us."

Soon the screen came out, and it turned out to be an interview. The screen showed an old black man being interviewed at home, speaking a language that Gao Xiaodong could not understand. When Gao Xiaodong felt inexplicable, he suddenly heard Eto'o burst into tears. Gao Xiaodong yelled "Dad!" in a loud voice. It was then that Gao Xiaodong realized that this old black man turned out to be Eto'o's father. It was not a reporter who held the microphone, but an Inter Milan staff.

Afterwards, the parents of the players who entered the 18-man squad appeared on the TV screen one after another, expressing their blessings to their children, hoping that they would win the final victory, and the players in the Inter Milan dressing room were all very excited, many even Cried out loud.

Gao Xiaodong has been looking forward nervously, wondering if his parents will appear in the picture.

In the end, his parents appeared on TV. They were sitting in their courtyard and talking to Gao Xiaodong, thousands of miles away.

Father Gao: "Xiaodong, I am very happy that you have reached the finals. You deserve to be my son. Play hard and come back with a championship. Fans from all over China are waiting for you to return."

Gao mother: "Don't worry about us, we are good, we eat and sleep well, you have a good game, don't care about winning or losing, go home early!"

"Dad! Mom! Don't worry! I will definitely take the champion home!"

Gao Xiaodong finally couldn't help it, tears streaming out like money.

After the interview was finished, Mourinho looked at the time and said: "Everyone has seen it. Now, everyone is waiting for us to win the game and win the Champions League. I don’t want to say anything more. The second half It will definitely be harder, but I believe you, you will definitely win the Champions League trophy for your team! Let’s go!"

This may be the least talked about in the dressing room of Mourinho in a season, but the players are in excellent mental state. They kept up with the clockwork one by one and walked to the court with high spirits.

The game restarted, Inter Milan continued to defend and counterattack. Manchester United had only 45 minutes left to press out and try to equalize the score early.

Mourinho just returned to the coaching bench, Sneijder left his seat and came to him, whispering: "Coach, now we are defending, Xiaodong can play the midfielder, let me play the front midfielder."

Sneijder was on the bench because of an injury to the Coppa Italia in Rome. He is generally healthy and assists Gao Xiaodong in his offense.

Although Sneijder has not fully recovered yet, this is the Champions League final at the Bernabeu. Sneijder was driven out of the Bernabéu like a dog by Real Madrid last season. Now he is very eager to play and play Real Madrid himself. s face.

Mourinho understands Sneijder's thoughts very well, but this is a Champions League final. In the case of 1:0, he can't let Sneijder, who has just recovered from injury, risk it unless the team secures the victory.

"Wesley, don't worry, you will have a chance to play, but not yet."

Mourinho patted Sneijder on the shoulder and told him to return to his seat.

Sneijder had no choice but to return to his seat and continue to be a spectator.

After Inter Milan took the lead, Gao Xiaodong's position retreated at least ten meters, and his position was in front of the two midfielders Stankovic and Cambiasso, mainly focusing on Manchester United midfielder Scholes. .

Gao Xiaodong has both agility, strength, speed and cunning. With him by Scholes's side, Scholes doesn’t even talk about organizing offenses. It’s hard to get the ball. Manchester United’s midfield offense is almost completely affected except for long passes Choked to death.

Fortunately, Manchester United has never been a team based on the penetration of the center. Their impact-based play is more dependent on two wings.

However, after Inter Milan’s formation contracted, full-back Eto'o and Pandev completely retracted to protect their full-backs. Due to Gao Xiaodong’s retreat, the defensive pressure of the two front midfielders was greatly reduced, and more energy was used to support the wing. Defensively.

Manchester United's main attack point is on Valencia.

Valencia with space is full of power, without space, under double-teaming, Valencia's role is greatly reduced, not only is it difficult to get a chance to pass the bottom, once it is intercepted, it will immediately be countered by Pandev.

Although Pandev's speed is not as fast as Eto'o on the other side, he is much faster than Gary Neville. After several counterattacks, Gary Neville's position becomes more and more backward, and he is even more unable to support Valencia.

In the 55th minute of the game, Manchester United changed the direction of attack and passed the ball to Evra, allowing Evra and Park Ji-sung to launch an offensive.

Evra passed the ball to Park Ji-sung and quickly edged himself.

Park Ji-sung saw Eto'o closely following Evra. He didn't pass the ball and rushed to Maicon with the ball, changing directions continuously, trying to break through Maicon.

Maicon is known as the world's number one right-back. He is excellent offensive and defensive. He has no fear of facing players like Park Ji-sung. He calmly responded. When Park Ji-sung changed his center of gravity, he suddenly grabbed the ball and stole the ball.

Maicon passed the ball to Stankovic, he quickly moved forward, Stankovic then passed, Maicon had already thrown off Park Jixing, high speed dribbling to Manchester United's half.

Behind Maicon, Park Ji-sung and Evra desperately chased back, Eto'o also ran forward desperately, and the four started an offensive and defensive chase on the wing.

Seeing that there was a chance to counterattack, Gao Xiaodong in the middle left Scholes and ran forward to meet him.

Milito went straight behind Vidic and Ferdinand.

Maicon's speed is not slow, but he ran with the ball and couldn't reach the limit speed. Just entering the 30-meter area, he was overtaken by Park Ji-sung.

Maicon heard the gasp behind him, knowing that it would be difficult for him to get rid of Park Ji-sung's entanglement, and passed it directly to Gao Xiaodong who was in the middle.

Under normal circumstances, Gao Xiaodong should stand the ball in a straight line and continue to dribble forward. However, Gao Xiaodong still has Fletcher in front of him and Scholes in the back. It is difficult to get rid of the entanglement of these two men after stopping the ball. .

At this moment, Gao Xiaodong had an idea. He didn't stop the ball, and the outside of his left instep flicked against the lateral ball. The ball drew an extremely beautiful arc and bypassed Fletcher in front of him. Central defender Ferdinand's head fell between Ferdinand and Vidic.

This is a very imaginative outside instep pass. The Manchester United players did not expect it, but Milito and Gao Xiaodong cooperated tacitly and eagerly to score. He did not stop running. After Gao Xiaodong passed the ball, he happened to be at high speed. Passed between Ferdinand and Fletcher, and grabbed the spot before the two guards.

"Pretty!"

"Too imaginative!"

"It's so beautiful!"

"This coquettish outer instep!"

"Better than Quaresma!"

...

Before scoring a goal, Gao Xiaodong's pass made the Inter Milan fans on the scene uncontrollably praised. Quaresma stood up and shouted: "Stealing my trick, I want the copyright!"
