Chapter 179: Chapter 150: The Last 10 Minutes to Decide the Outcome of the Match! Fans Call for the Arrival of Heroes!

"Inter Milan is in a very dangerous situation!"

"There are only ten minutes remaining in the game, and they are still trailing 2-3 by one goal!"

"And they are playing with one less person!"

"Center-back Ranocchia has been sent off with a red card!"

"He was the captain, a reliable pillar of the defense, and this blow is just too big!"

"Time is running out for Inter, do they still have hope for a comeback..."

In the LeSports studio, Liu Teng’s voice grew more uncertain, and his voice became softer.

"Mr. Jianxiang, can you analyze for us, does Inter still have a chance?"

The excitement and exhilaration from earlier when Tang Long scored the panenka penalty were nowhere to be found!

Huang Jianxiang, sitting beside, clicked his tongue in disappointment.

He scratched his thinning hair and leaned weakly against the back of his chair.

"Sigh!"

"It seems like there’s no strategy left either!"

"I still say, unless someone from Inter can explode with a godlike performance, and it has to be an outstanding explosion, otherwise, I truly see no hope, but I hope Tang Long can... cough cough, let’s continue watching the match."

Halfway through, Huang Jianxiang suddenly stopped and fell silent.

He mentioned Tang Long but couldn’t bear to continue.

His original intention was to say that he hoped Tang Long could explode, lead Inter to turn the tide, and become the hero leading Inter out of the quagmire!

However, with Huang Jianxiang’s twenty years of commentary in Serie A, he quickly realized that such an expectation was excessively harsh on Tang Long!

Tang Long is only 18 years old, this is just his first professional season, just a freshman in Serie A, and also his first year at Inter.

In a high-profile match like the national derby, it should be the already prominent players who step up!

Gualin, Icardi, Hernanes, these are all veterans in Serie A and pillars of the team.

They have faced Juventus many times and have rich experience in major matches.

Trailing 2-3 with one less player, they should take the initiative to stand out!

Instead of demanding more from an 18-year-old junior like Tang Long.

Moreover, Tang Long has already done his absolute best in this match!

A goal and an assist, to achieve such astonishing statistics on the grand stage of the national derby is truly rare.

Many active Inter players have a scoring history of zero against Juventus!

It’s impossible to demand more from Tang Long.

He is not Messi, nor is he C Luo, he is just an 18-year-old freshman in Serie A.

Now about the human factor.

What Huang Jianxiang said was right.

If this were Inter’s home game, perhaps the Blue-Black Corps could leverage the advantage of time and space to fight it out in the last ten minutes.

But this is Juventus’s home ground!

The only potential opportunity for Inter comes from the human factor!

But now even that factor is gone.

Playing against Juventus, a top team in Serie A and a leading powerhouse in Europe, one man short on an away game.

If they manage not to concede more goals, it would be good enough, let alone thinking about equalizing?

Dream on...

After Ranocchia was sent off, Mancini had no choice but to substitute Kovacic for the substitute center-back Andreolli.

Poor young Kovacic, who just came on in the second half, had played less than 40 minutes before being subbed again.

The substitute center-back Andreolli stood in Ranocchia’s position.

Standing 187 cm tall, he isn’t short among Serie A’s center-backs.

But against the 190 cm Morata, he had no advantage at all.

This became evident during a confrontation in the 84th minute of the second half!

It was a typical 45-degree cross from the flank.

Pogba on the flank was like a wild horse off its reins, skillfully using changes of pace to burst past two opponents, like a warrior galloping freely on the prairie, unstoppable.

However, he was not in a hurry to cross but cleverly passed the ball back to the midfield commander Pirlo who came to assist.

Just when everyone thought Pirlo would control the pace and stabilize the situation, he surprisingly delivered a lightning-fast 45-degree cross from the flank!

The football seemed to be infused with life, drawing a beautiful arc, then suddenly plunging rapidly as if it were a meteorite from the sky crashing down.

At this moment, the Spanish high center-forward Morata once again demonstrated his strength!

Not only is he tall, but his footwork is also exceptionally agile, like a graceful dancer.

No wonder he could secure the main center-forward position at a young age for both the Spanish national team and Juventus.

Morata quickly judged the landing point of Pirlo’s pass, moved four small steps swiftly forward, and leapt up to contest the header!

When the 195 cm Ranocchia was marking him, he could still rely on his physical advantage to evenly contest the ball in the air.

But with 187 cm Andreolli, things were completely different!

Morata overpowered Andreolli to head the ball!

The football brushed the junction of the post and the crossbar, skimming its surface, and went out of the baseline!

Goalkeeper Handanovic once again watched as it happened...

Dodged a bullet, the studio was filled with wailing~

- [Damn, almost conceded another one!]

- [Conceding another goal really means game over, 10 vs 11, trailing by two goals, even the gods couldn’t save Inter!]

- [Isn’t it over now? Do you see any hope for Inter to score at all?]

- [The disparity in strength is visible to the naked eye; Inter’s three lines are not as strong as Juventus’s. Otherwise, why would they lose 1-2 at their home ground? They have even less chance away, to be expected.]

- [After switching to a 3-defender formation, Juventus has five players in the midfield, completely controlling it, leaving Tang Long and Icardi with no chance to even touch the ball!]

- [Wouldn’t it be better to have Tang Long retreat from the frontline to the midfield?]

- [Forget it, if I were Mancini, I wouldn’t bother letting Tang Long come back, just leave him at the front!]

- [Exactly, losing by one or losing by two is still a loss; by keeping two forwards, maybe Inter could snatch another one before the final whistle.]

At this moment.

Italy’s renowned coach Mancini, and Chinese fans watching the game live from thousands of miles away, had the same thought!

That’s exactly what he’s thinking!

Instead of having Tang Long retreat to organize in the midfield, it might be better to keep him at the front and see if he and Icardi can create any sparks.

Besides, Mancini had his considerations.

If he pulled Tang Long back, changing from two forwards to one, it would be like removing one of the two weighty stones pressing against Juventus’s defense on his own.

In that case, Bonucci could boldly lead the defense and push up!

Even push it to the midfield circle position.

Inter’s midfield was already weaker than their opponents, and their control kept declining.

Attack is the best defense, Mancini decided to go aggressive.

He played like this in the Premier League with Manchester City, even with one less player, he wouldn’t sub out the forward.

Watching Inter’s two forwards, Tang Long and Icardi, still pressing Juventus’ three defenders on the front line.

Allegri laughed like a pig~

"Robert, are you crazy? You’re really giving up on defense? Then I’ll score one more and end the match!"

Allegri’s words were directed not only at Mancini commanding the game;

It was also directed at the Juventus players on the field!

Since Inter still has lingering hearts, not giving up, trying to rekindle with a spark.

Then let’s pour a bucket of ice water on their fire, cooling them off completely!

"Attack!"

Juventus launched relentless attacks on Inter Milan’s defense like a raging storm!

On this green battlefield, Inter Milan seemed pressed for manpower due to one missing player.

Their defensive players stood ready like warriors tasked with an emergency mission, tightly packed into the penalty area, forced to endure Juventus’ waves of offense.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Boom boom boom——"

The sound of the ball echoed, captivating the heart!

The fierce scrambling on the ground and aerial contest intertwined into thrilling scenes.

Breaking from the flanks!

Penetration through the center!

Straight pass!

Lift and rush!

Juventus players showcased various tactical styles as if showing off their skills.

The entire pitch seemed to be Juventus’ stage, dominating Inter Milan’s defense overwhelmingly.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan’s attacking duo Tang Long and Icardi seemed like forgotten warriors, unable to touch the destiny-deciding ball, watching as Juventus rampaged across the field, filled with helplessness and anxiety.

The live-stream room reeked of a suffocating burnt smell.

-[Ahhhh, it’s killing me with tension!!!]

-[I really need to thank you, let me watch this abusive game in the middle of the night!]

-[Not asking for a win, is there still hope for a draw?]

-[I think you should ask if Inter can hold on without conceding more, rather than if Inter can score.]

-[Tang Long keeps running but Inter’s midfield can’t pass him the ball!]

-[You said it, Gualin, Hernanes, and Medel can’t even deliver a ball with Juventus’ five players locking them down!]

-[I can’t take it anymore, switching channels!]

At the same time, LeSports was also broadcasting a Premier League match.

Liverpool at home against Fulham.

The match icon was right below Inter’s.

Many fans too nervous to watch Inter’s live-stream exited the national derby room, flocking into Liverpool’s stream.

Suddenly, the real-time viewers of Liverpool VS Fulham skyrocketed from 400,000 to 3.2 million!

"Great shot! Gerrard’s long shot was very beautiful!"

"Sturridge’s running created ample shooting space for Captain Jie!"

"This is Gerrard’s last season with the Red Army, we wish him all the best... Huh? What’s going on??"

When Zhan Jun saw the number of viewers suddenly multiply several times, he was dumbfounded!

This Premier League match rarely kicked off at midnight, Premier League fans used to watching at 10 PM couldn’t stand staying up.

The viewership had also set a new low for Liverpool this season!

How did Gerrard’s one long shot cause the numbers to multiply by four???

Does Gerrard have such strong ability, that’s unlikely.

With curiosity, Zhan Jun glanced at the live comments below the screen.

-[Come on, Inter, last few minutes, get one in!]

-[Tang Long, it’s your time to step up!]

-[3 to 3! We want 3 to 3!]

-[It’s killing me with tension, can’t bear to watch, it’s too tormenting!]

-[Damn it, blame Nagatomo, he’s the culprit, the culprit!]

-[Why can’t Inter ever beat Juventus, curse, real curse!]

-[Liverpool guys, it’s more relaxed here, already 4 to 0, just coast to finish.]

Zhan Jun: ??????

What the hell is this!

Why did so many Inter fans flood into my live broadcast room!

Still discussing Juventus and Inter’s national derby.

Hey hey hey, this is a Premier League match, isn’t it?

"Hello, Inter fans in the live room," Zhan Jun cleared his throat, "if you want to watch Inter’s match, please switch to my colleagues Liu Teng and Huang Jianxiang’s live room, this is Liverpool’s game, please don’t go to the wrong room."

Just as Zhan Jun said this, the viewer count suddenly dropped from 3.2 million to 500,000!

Ah?

Zhan Jun was stunned again.

Did I just chase away over 2 million live viewers with one sentence, am I that powerful?

Don’t all leave at once!

Actually, you can also watch Liverpool’s match, the Premier League’s pace is much faster, isn’t it better than Serie A?

Rows of comments floated by.

-[Good chance, got a corner at the end!]

-[Last corner now!]

-[Last chance, guys, retreat! Even the referee is checking the time!]

-[Hurry back, hurry back!]

-[Quickly, stop wandering around Liverpool’s live room, Inter’s last corner, even the goalkeeper is in the box, hurry back, guys!]

-[Come on, a crucial draw, must watch!]

-[Damn, set piece is a good chance, retreat retreat! Bye, Liverpool buddies!]
