Chapter 130: Chapter 118: 5 million cash piled into a mountain in the locker room! This is going all out against Inter!_3

The camaraderie of the martial world is like the afterglow of the setting sun, gradually fading.

Soccer hasn’t been spared either.

Rossi felt a deep sense of powerlessness and confusion, "I’m old, I can’t understand this bizarre world anymore."

He gently adjusted the brim of his black top hat—a symbol of the old days—and then, amid the noise and clamor, silently turned around and left the locker room.

"CCTV!

CCTV!

Welcome to our live broadcast of the Serie A match between Inter Milan and Sassuolo at 3:45 AM.

Let’s first introduce the lineup of the home team, Sassuolo.

Inter Milan is sticking with their 4231 formation they’ve used for several matches.

Forward: Icardi.

Attacking Midfielder: Kovacic.

Left Midfield: Shaqiri.

Right Midfield: Podolski.

The two defensive midfielders are: Medel and Tang Long.

Center Backs: Ranocchia and Andreolli.

Left Back: Santon, Right Back: Dambrosio.

Goalkeeper: Handanovic."

After introducing the starting lineup, He Wei asked Zhang Lu beside him.

"Coach Zhang, there have been two minor adjustments to the starting lineup compared to the last match, but I’m more interested in Tang Long moving from attacking midfielder to defensive midfielder. What do you think of this adjustment?"

"Heh heh heh, heh heh," Zhang Lu chuckled, "This adjustment is not surprising. We also commented on the last match, and the reason Mancini managed to turn the game around against Udinese was this brilliant move."

"Tang Long moved back to defensive midfielder, Kovacic moved up to attacking midfielder. With this switch, the depth of attack opened up instantly between these two young players."

"Mancini demonstrated the level of a top coach’s miraculous in-game adjustments brilliantly, it was thrilling to watch!"

"I noticed that many of our Chinese fans often describe Tang Long’s stunning performances on the field as executing a ’Divine Hand’. But in my view, it’s Mancini’s in-game adjustments that are the true ’Divine Hand’!"

The referee’s whistle blew, signaling the start of the match.

Inter Milan opted for a relaxed approach.

Icardi passed the ball back to Kovacic, and Kovacic passed it to Podolski.

Podolski controlled the ball, took two steps in place, and passed it back to Tang Long.

Tang Long then passed the ball to the full-back Santon.

The ball remained firmly under Inter Milan’s control, being passed around the back, with Tang Long as the axis.

After a full week of rest, the main players of Inter, who were exhausted in the last round, have fully recovered.

Except for Gualin, who couldn’t play due to a thigh injury, other players showed no signs of fatigue.

Moreover, they were facing Sassuolo, who had already suffered three consecutive defeats to Inter, with two of them being crushing losses.

No Inter player was worried about not being able to win away.

Therefore, at the start, Inter played relaxed.

After all, we can beat you; there’s no rush to attack at the beginning. Preserve energy for an easy three points.

As for Sassuolo, their reaction was in line with what Inter Milan’s players expected before the game.

Sassuolo players rarely pushed beyond the halfway line. As soon as the ball returned to Tang Long’s control in midfield, their forward line retreated to the center circle, making no attempts to press Inter.

Their three lines were kept tight, but the overall distance was quite far back, clearly intending to defend a home draw.

In such a relaxed atmosphere, Icardi even made some trick moves seldom seen even in practice.

He deliberately used a scorpion kick to control a not-so-difficult mid-air ball.

After a failed control, he showed no intention to apologize to the passer, instead, he stood with hands on hips and laughed to himself.

"Inter seems to be having fun out there; it’s rare to see Icardi make such moves."

"The ball control is firmly under Inter’s command. It seems this game, even though only 10 minutes in, is destined to be one-sided. After all, the gap in strength between these two teams is too wide. I believe Sassuolo’s players are already in a state of panic. Losing 0:2 or 0:3 is something they might find acceptable."

"Yes, exactly," Zhang Lu nodded, "This match is a great opportunity for both Tang Long and Icardi to shine. Tang Long should take advantage and rack up some stats against such a weak team; after all, so many fans in China are staying up late to watch him play."

Tang Long played with ease, even when he received the ball, there was only one Sassuolo player watching him from 10 meters away, without any close marking.

It was comfortable, relaxed, as if the players could sip tea and play the game slowly.

When facing an opponent far weaker and without fighting spirit, winning the match seemed just a matter of time.

However, as the game progressed, Tang Long noticed something strange.

The Sassuolo players, despite not pressing or playing aggressively,

Why did each of their eyes turn red, like wolves?

Their gaze seemed quite intimidating~
