Star Coach

In the locker room, Jiangshan was very satisfied with the players' mental state.

"Didier, can you still hold on?"

"Of course, no problem, I want to fight, coach, I ask you not to replace me. I want to fight, I want to fight." Drogba shouted hysterically, he wanted to vent, he wanted to fight.

"I will also kill Materazzi, he even greeted my mother. I will fuck his whole family." Drogba finally vented his anger on the court.

On the court, he did not dare to lose his temper, worried about getting a card, and he had to vent off the court, otherwise he would explode.

Jiangshan nodded heavily, "I'll give you a chance. Kill for me!"

"In the first fifteen minutes of the second half, Inter Milan's attack will be very crazy, we must hold on tightly, as long as we hold on for the time in front, we can launch a counterattack later, we must hold on."

Jiangshan's voice became louder and louder, and the emotions of the players seemed to infect him. This was the emotion of fighting, the emotion that would only appear in key games.

The brave win when they meet on a narrow road, there has never been an easy promotion.

In the second half, Jiangshan took the lead in personnel adjustments. Replace striker Nonda with a midfielder, and the tough guy Zicos will come on the field.

Zicos rested for half the game and has roughly figured out Inter Milan's routine. After he comes on the field, the defense will be more targeted.

Jiangshan put him on the bench, not only to let him observe Inter Milan's deployment, but the most important purpose is to guard against Inter Milan's crazy counterattack.

Inter Milan's frontcourt players are both powerful and agile. Monaco's midfield must ensure that there are defensive tough guys with sufficient physical strength, otherwise they will not be able to withstand their impact. Let the defenders face the forwards directly and will definitely lose the ball.

After a break, the collision in the second half was staged as scheduled.

Cooper walked out with his hands in his pockets, looking at Monaco's lineup, his face was livid, "Asshole Jiangshan, are you going to focus on defense? However, the tactics of your defenders will definitely be caught by me, hum!"

Inter Milan also made personnel adjustments at the beginning, replacing the mediocre Martins. The young Martins did not withstand the pressure, and his performance in the first half was average and completely restricted.

Martins was substituted off the field, proving Cooper's failure. The failure of the first move and several consecutive bad moves led to Inter Milan's powerful offensive lineup failing to break through Monaco's defense.

Even if Cooper changed his tactics and replaced Zanetti, Conceicao and Emre to return to the wing, he was pinching the gap left by Evra and Ibarra's assists.

The full-backs inserted, and the two ribs were not covered enough, so Cooper was ready to use this space to make a fuss.

Jiangshan saw the lineups and player positions of both sides and smiled slightly, "Great, we are sure to win this game."

"Coach Jiangshan, is it too early to say this now?" Guardiola came over and asked, "The emotions of the players on the field are not easy to control. If they make mistakes, it may lead to failure."

"In my opinion, players should be the screws of tactics, and every position should be tightly fitted. It is best not to bring emotions. Such a team is the most stable team." Guardiola said, and immediately regretted it.

I slapped myself in the face, "You are so mean. Isn't it better for Jiangshan to make mistakes? If he keeps making mistakes, I can even replace him. Just like he replaced Sacchi."

Don't point it out, don't say it, just draw strength. Guardiola's strategy is very clear.

"If the players have no emotions, how can we watch the game? Watch the robot war? I might as well study the perpetual motion machine that generates heat from friction at home."

"Ah? According to the principle, as long as friction generates heat, it will produce heat consumption, it can't be a perpetual motion machine." Guardiola corrected.

"You said it very well, I agree." Jiangshan patted his shoulder. He is indeed an idealist. Like Benítez, football is his first wife.

On the field, Zicos intercepted Conceicao's cross from the side and resolved the crisis. The ball was successfully passed to the front court.

Smith retreated to get the ball, split the side, Giuly received the ball in a roundabout way, seemingly breaking through, facing Materazzi, and suddenly rebounded.

Materazzi was rebounded.

Giuly passed the ball, but Cannavaro's center of gravity was almost the same height as his, so he couldn't break through and continued to pass it to Smith.

Smith didn't dare to take credit for himself, and passed the ball at the first time, with one foot, very neat and simple.

Drogba twisted the ball, took a step horizontally, knocked it back, and Giuly shot it.

Failed to create a threat and was intercepted.

In the first ten minutes, Inter Milan attacked fiercely and violently. Monaco didn't have many decent counterattacks, and Giuly's shot was destroyed, causing Jiangshan to curse.

A very good opportunity disappeared again. If Monaco scored at this time, Inter Milan's hope of advancing would basically be killed.

Monaco tied away and had an away goal. As long as they scored a goal at home, Inter Milan must get two goals to advance. Now the situation is very delicate.

Cooper danced on the sidelines to direct the team, attack, and continue to attack.

Unfortunately, the first ten minutes of crazy attack were fruitless, and Inter Milan's players were a little discouraged, and their offensive state was not as good as the opening. Cooper hated Jiangshan. Since the start of the second half, Evra and Ibarra were like sheep, never crossing the half court, and huddled in the backcourt to defend.

Both of them were very energetic, and their defensive positions in the second half were even more accurate, almost destroying Inter Milan's wing attack.

The gap left by the assist? It didn't exist.

After adding Zicos to the Monaco midfield, the defense was tighter, and faced with the international attack group, the scene was not at all inferior.

Zikos tackled Zanetti's dribbling again, passed the ball to the wing, there was only one person in the open space on the wing, Giuly was sprinting, full of power and faster.

"Ah..." Giuly was knocked to the ground by Materazzi before he could pass the threatening ball, and he fell to the ground and struggled.

The referee showed the first yellow card of the game. Materazzi committed a tactical foul, and the yellow card was correct.

The frontcourt organization failed to pose a threat. Cannavaro intercepted the ball, Cannavaro gritted his teeth and took a few steps to the wing, Conceicao was also very fast.

After passing the midfield, facing Evra, he used his body to eat him alive.

Recoba and Crespo were also sprinting.

Offside! Conceicao found the right time and passed the ball. Recoba's figure was just level with the Monaco defender.

"Success." Cooper shouted excitedly, "Charge!"

Not good! Jiangshan suddenly became nervous. As long as Crespo and Recoba entered the penalty area at the same time, there was no reason not to score. Inter Milan only needs one goal to win.

Recoba held the ball and had a one-on-one chance. Roma's position was good, blocking Recoba's shooting angle. Recoba glanced at it, but did not take the credit, and passed the ball to Crespo who was in a better position.

Crespo cut in from the right, but brought Ibarra with him at the same time. It was Ibarra who was dragged at the end and failed to get up in time, resulting in a one-on-one chance.

Ibarra and Crespo carried their bodies and almost threw himself out.

He and Crespo touched the ball at the same time, and the ball hit the post and went out, just a little bit short.

Jiangshan roared, Cooper covered his face, and kicked the water bottle at his feet hard.

The referee rushed over and gave a yellow card.

"Control your emotions." The referee warned Cooper.

The game had been going on for seventy minutes, and the best goal opportunity slipped through Cooper's fingers.
