Chapter 114: Chapter 113: Top-Level Prediction! Not Only Liberating Oneself but Also Liberating Teammates!_2

"Listen, I know you can run and charge, you’re fast and you like dribbling. But be careful, you don’t need to rush forward too much from the defensive midfield position, make sure you don’t lose the ball! Don’t be like Gualin, losing the ball in the defensive midfield position! Don’t do it! Important things are said three times! Understand? If you’re unsure, just pass the ball to me."

Kovacic nodded repeatedly, confidently saying, "Don’t worry, we will definitely turn the score around."

When the second half started, the pointer on the Meazza stadium scoreboard had already passed 4 PM Milan local time.

The sun slightly tilted to the west, and a cloud drifted over, shading half of the field from sunlight, making it less scorching.

"Slow down the pace, control the ball at your feet."

Tang Long kept signaling the players to slow down the pace, trying to keep the ball at their feet to slow the rate of physical exhaustion sufficiently.

However, Udinese coached by Stramaccioni didn’t think the same!

With a game once a week, they had ample physical reserves.

Plus, for this game against a strong team like Inter Milan at Meazza Stadium, no motivation was needed for the whole team, they were all full of drive!

Especially the young players in the team, they were eager to show their skills.

After all, they knew that a league match between Udinese and Genoa was far less attractive than one between Udinese and Inter Milan.

The latter might be watched by millions worldwide, and among them, some might be potential scouts~

If they could perform well against Inter, it would gain them more attention and be greatly beneficial to their career growth.

Substitute for Gualin, Kovacic was both excited and nervous!

This was his first appearance in nearly 5 matches.

Although Tang Long just instructed him not to indulge in dribbling breakthroughs.

But as soon as the ball reached his feet, he instantly threw all those reminders out of his mind!

"Kovacic is advancing, his center of gravity is very low!"

"Cutting in! He maneuvers past the first intercepting player with a change of pace!"

"Tang Long is well-positioned, he’s reaching out to Kovacic asking for the ball."

"No pass! He continues dribbling forward!"

"Ha! A beautiful bicycle kick about to breakthrough to the right."

"Number 6, Alan is sticking very closely, he didn’t get past him."

"Pingqi is coming in for a double-team!"

"Oh no, Kovacic was intercepted!"

Kovacic was awkwardly knocked to the ground.

Looking back, he saw Pingqi diagnosing his ball and initiating a counterattack on the spot.

While Tang Long was desperately chasing behind him.

Kovacic felt a chill in his heart, regretting not listening to Tang Long’s advice.

He quickly scrambled up from the ground to chase back.

Professional players all know that losing the ball in midfield during an advance, especially around the central circle, is incredibly dangerous!

Especially when other players have moved forward following the advance, losing the ball is even more fatal.

Inter’s defensive line was directly exposed to the opposing forwards!

This time it was another combination play between Tello and Di Natale.

But this time, the goal scorer was Tello!

After a one-two with Di Natale, Tello used his strong shoulder to shove Ranocchia aside, breaking into the penalty area and blasting the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.

2:1!

Udinese took the lead on the road.

Excited, Tello got a bit carried away, and in a moment of heat, he slid on his knees towards the North Stand filled with Inter Milan’s diehard fans.

This blew up the Inter fans!

Celebrating was one thing, but sliding on your knees towards the North Stand, what were you thinking?

"Udinese hillbillies get out of Milan!"

"You’re not worthy of playing here!"

"You damn braggart, meet me in the parking lot if you dare!"

On the sidelines, Mancini’s face was stern.

His assistant Herrera was also not daring to utter a word.

Oh boy!

Look at these substitutions.

Kovacic had just played for less than 10 minutes and already made a fatal error, leading to an immediate counterattack by the opponent.

Isn’t this a slap in Mancini’s face?

Do you still want to mix in Inter, kid?

"We can see that both times the mistakes leading to goals originated from the midfield problems of Inter Milan."

"Kovacic substituted for Gualin who is reportedly having some leg injury issues."

"The Croatian youngster was indeed too aggressive with his dribbling this time, but look at Inter’s bench, apart from Kovacic, who else can be substituted in midfield?"

"It seems there’s no one more suitable than Kovacic..."

In the CCTV 5 live studio.

Fans were also discussing the future course of Inter with much speculation.

-[Inter is facing a severe physical reserve issue in March with their three-line battle; these problems will gradually emerge at the end of the season.]

-[The situation is not optimistic, Inter Milan has already been warned with a red flag in this match!]

-[I remember, last season Inter faced a collapse in the latter half of the league after February.]

-[Today’s situation is also flashing a warning for the second half of their league this year, Mancini must be cautious!]

-[Even the best housewife cannot cook without rice, what can Mancini do? He can’t just replace Kovacic who just came on, right? That would be like slapping himself twice in the face, left cheek first then the right!]

Trailing means we need to substitute in attacking players, but who?

Mancini turned to look at the substitutes’ bench, where an older and a younger player sat.

Palacio and Bonazzoli.

Recently, Palacio’s form had significantly declined during training sessions, barely having the ability to even be a substitute at Inter.
