When the substitute players of both sides came on the stage with the tactical instructions of their respective coaches, the game once again reached a turning point.
Inter Milan, on the premise of doing a good job in defense, although they still use defensive counterattacks to hit behind Wolfsburg as their main tactic, they will also take the initiative to press out and seek offense once they have the opportunity.
Mancini's intention is very obvious. He hopes that the team can counterattack and score another goal in a situation like Wolfsburg's situation where the soldiers are pressing the situation.
With two away goals in hand, when they return to the Meazza Stadium in the second leg, their scoring pressure will be much less.
As for Dieter Heijing, this guy has a bigger heart.
He replaced Bendtner and Perisic in order to continue to score goals and expand the score, so that they can play more conservatively when visiting Meazza in the next round.
As a result, the game suddenly became more intense in the next ten minutes. It was no longer Wolfsburg's unilateral beating of Inter Milan.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Inter Milan's tacit defense at the top of the arc suddenly intercepted Wolfsburg's pass.
After receiving the ball, D'Ambrosio quickly took it away from the right side of the top of the arc and advanced the ball along the ribs.
But as soon as Perisic came on the field, he was more energetic and caught up in the blink of an eye.
D'Ambrosio was very alert. He knew that at this time he could not defeat Perisic in terms of physical confrontation or speed.
So he suddenly sent a long overhead pass.
In the rib area of Wolfsburg's half, Icardi and D'Ambrosio formed a very tacit pass and run.
Icardi successfully countered offside at the moment when D'Ambrosio passed the ball, directly getting away from Chu Zheng by three positions.
However, what surprised countless Wolfsburg fans was that Chu Zheng did not use his speed to catch up with Icardi.
"Chu has no physical strength?"
"Still injured?"
At this moment, these two thoughts came to almost everyone's mind, including Dieter Heijing on the sidelines, who also had some nervousness on his face.
If Chu Zheng is injured at this critical moment, Wolfsburg's defensive ability will be significantly reduced.
Nowadays, Dieter Heijing has long forgotten how satisfied he was with Naldo and Knoch as central defenders.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
People are most afraid of comparison, and he has long been accustomed to Chu Zheng's super defensive ability.
On the field, when everyone in the audience was confused, Chu Zheng gave his answer.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they saw him take off boldly with the inertia of his running at the moment the ball flew over his head. With his feet and head down, he forcefully pulled down the ball that was about to fly over his head with a volley barb.
When Icardi saw this scene, his eyes widened in shock.
At this moment, he finally understood why Chu Zheng didn't chase him. It turned out to be to save energy.
On the sidelines, Mancini was speechless again. This was not the first time he had seen Chu Zheng's accuracy in predicting the path of the ball.
Next to Mancini, Dieter Heijing couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't agree with Chu Zheng's eye-catching aerial interception this time.
According to Dieter Heijing, the first priority of a central defender when defending is to delay the opponent's attack, followed by interceptions, steals and clearances.
He felt that Chu Zheng was a little distracted.
However, just when he came up with the idea of beating Chu Zheng, Chu Zheng once again gave the underlying reason for his eye-catching interception.
On the field, Icardi turned around and tried to steal the ball.
But Chu Zheng quickly climbed up using his hands and feet, and then he stepped forward, turned sideways, swung his legs, and swung the ball in one go.
With a muffled bang, the ball turned into a precision-guided missile and flew straight to the left half of the field, to the right side of Inter Milan's arc.
Chu Zheng's long pass was uncharacteristically high quality.
“Cazzo di merda!!!”
"Mamma Mia!!!!!"
“holy shit!!!”
"Chu!!!!!!!!!"
"..."
In the stands, there were exclamations one after another. Many Wolfsburg fans were delighted to see Chu Zheng's long pass that was like a rainbow across the sky after the rain.
On the sidelines, Dieter Heijin's previous thoughts of beating Chu Zheng had disappeared without a trace.
He saw Chu Zheng's intention in passing the ball. This timing of switching from defense to offense really shocked him time and time again.
On the sidelines, Mancini also looked nervous.
Chu Zheng's timing of passing the ball was so good that they were caught off guard when the formation had just pressed on them. The defensive space behind them was torn apart in a large area, and it could almost be said that they were on the verge of paralysis.
At the same time, De Bruyne on the left turned and ran back along the left, and he successfully blocked D'Ambrosio behind him.
After removing the ball from the outer wing in the upper left corner of the penalty area, De Bruyne continuously spiked the ball and turned 360 degrees, and then quickly began to cut inside.
His strong body made D'Ambrosio, a defender, unable to do anything to him.
Just when De Bruyne, who had cut inside and entered the rib area, was about to take a shot, Vidic rushed in and put a shovel from behind on the right side, causing De Bruyne to fall directly to the ground.
"Beep!!!" the referee Maziniak blew the whistle directly, and after jogging over, he directly took out a yellow card to warn Vidic of the tactical foul.
"A free kick from an excellent position, a chance for Wolfsburg to expand the score!"
"Now I know why Dieter Heijing transformed Chu Zheng into a defensive midfielder. With his vision, ability to read the game, and the ability to seize the opportunity to pass the ball, I have to do the same as the head coach! Hehe!" Zhang Lu laughed.
He said.
On the court, De Bruyne, Naldo, and Rodriguez stood in front of the ball on the left side of the arc.
Seeing these three people grinding and chirping with their hands on their waists, Chu Zheng came up and said in an awesome voice: "What are you doing grinding and chirping? If you can't do it, I'll do it!"
"We in China have a saying that great power can produce miracles!!!" Chu Zheng said in a joking tone.
"Hahahaha!" De Bruyne and the three of them suddenly burst into laughter.
If others don't know Chu Zheng's free kick skills, how can they?
Let’s put it this way! Any one of the three of them with 2.5 toe kicks is better than Chu Zheng.
"Chu, I don't know if Dali will perform a miracle, but I know that if you play, Dali will probably be in the stands!" De Bruyne said cheerfully.
Chu Zheng rolled his eyes, "If you can't make the free throw, I guarantee that you won't be able to take a shot in the next team training match!"
"I was wrong!" De Bruyne immediately admitted his mistake with a smile.
Now no one in the Wolfsburg team doubts Chu Zheng's one-on-one defensive ability. His super high stealing and interception abilities are really disappointing.
Not only that, many people in Wolfsburg have experienced the thrill of being seen through by Chu Zheng again and again.
Soon, Inter Milan's human wall was arranged.
Chu Zheng and the other four also dispersed.
Naldo measured his steps and continued to retreat, assuming a posture to bombard the door.
De Bruyne and Rodriguez stood next to the ball, one on the left and the other on the right. It was so confusing that the Inter Milan players couldn't tell who was taking the penalty.
"Beep!!" referee Maziniak whistled.
De Bruyne started, jogged three steps, stood with his left foot next to the ball, opened his hands to maintain balance, and swung the inside of his right foot directly on the ball.
The ball soared into the air, passed around the left side of the wall, and then quickly began to fall.
In front of the goal, Inter Milan goalkeeper Carrizo made another mistake.
When De Bruyne shot, he made an advance move to his right goal post.
As a result, when the ball came over, he found that he had lost the bet and De Bruyne had hit the far corner.
Carrizo quickly changed his center of gravity and moved to the left to pounce, but it was already too late.
He could only watch as the ball bounced off the ground in the small penalty area in front of him, then crossed the goal line and hit the side netting.
“goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The moment the goal was scored, the cheers from the stands were like a tsunami.
Dieter Heijing also punched hard in celebration!
"De Bruyne, scored twice!!!"
"This is his 10th goal so far this season. In addition, he has 14 assists!"
On the court, after scoring the penalty, De Bruyne seemed a little excited and hugged his teammates who were surrounding him.
On the sidelines, Mancini shook his head, returned to the coaching bench and sat with his chest crossed.
As he expected, this conceded goal directly took away Inter Milan's last breath of hope.
After the game restarted, Inter Milan's players could no longer play a decent offense.
On the contrary, it was Wolfsburg's side, as if they were not tired, they continued to attack and played vigorously.
De Bruyne even had a chance to score a hat-trick in stoppage time, but unfortunately he missed it.
In the end, Wolfsburg reversed Inter Milan 3-1 at home and won the first round.
After the game, De Bruyne scored the highest score in the game, while Chu Zheng had the second highest score in the game.
