Football: I carry forward Shaolin Kungfu

On Friday night, the Inter team arrived in Sardinia.

The city of Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia, at the northern end of the southern Gulf of Sardinia and between two salt lakes.

It is a port city with a population of 232,000 and a southern European atmosphere, with medieval church architecture and ancient ruins such as Carthaginian necropolises.



Cagliari, the port city of southern Italy

, however, the Inter team did not have the effort to enjoy these scenery.

The next afternoon, they will take on Cagliari FC away from home!

Before the match, Conte announced the 23-man squad to the media, and Ye Chen was selected again.

But this time is different.

Ye Chen as the starter!

Conte didn't announce the 352 starting lineup to the players until two hours before the game.

Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro

Bilagi, Brozovic, Barrera Besino Yechen

, Bastoni Deflai Shkhandanovic

, while Italy international Candreva, who was supposed to be on the right wing, was on the bench.

Inter's players were not surprised by this result.

In the last round against Roma, Ye Chen was the hero of the team's victory and helped the team kill the game.

The logic of the high-performing substitutes coming into the starting line-up makes sense, and the players are convinced.

And as head coach Antonio Conte.

When he first arrived, he had to cultivate his own disciples.

Young, motivated, and not entangled with the power of Italian local players, Ye Chen naturally became Conte's key supporter.

After Inter's starting list was announced, fans in Huaxia were also smiling.

On the fan forum, everyone talked enthusiastically about Ye Chen.

"Fantastic! This time is nine thirty o'clock in the evening Chinese time, just in time to watch Ye Chen!

"Golden time, turn on the TV and you can see our Huaxia players playing Serie A, which is simply beautiful!"

"Even an Italian international like Candereva has been squeezed on the bench by Ye Chen, and our little brother Ye's status can be ah."

"I've ordered beer and crayfish on the takeaway app, plus twenty duck necks, eat crayfish tonight, nibble duck necks, drink beer, and watch morning goals!"

"Hahaha, our Binzhou Inter Fan Association chartered a small bar, tonight, this is our home stadium, watch the game and drink, not drunk!"

"I really want to go to the scene to watch Ye Chen play football, I want to hold the national flag of Huaxia Kingdom in the stands and cheer for him!"

Su Yue, Inter reporter of "Sports Weekly", posted a picture of Ye Chen warming up on the stadium in the fan forum.

"Fans, I'm on the spot, let me replace you and cheer for Ye Chen!"

......

In the away dressing room, Conte is making final arrangements before the game.

The former Juve captain has brought the wild style of his two decades ago as a player to the position of coach today.

His appearance is still an unpolished look.

His hair is unkempt, his beard is pulled, and he always feels like he hasn't woken up.

'Lads, this is our first away game of the season and in Serie A every away game is extremely difficult, especially against Cagliari.

Conte rubbed the slag of his chin with the calluses of his palms, making a clicking sound.

"I was captain of Juve as a player and I know Cagliari better than any of you. On their bodies, the blood of the Sardinian battle flows!

"Yes, I know how they will play, you know how they will play, these southerners, with fierce tackles, collide with savage bodies and disrupt the ball control organization in our midfield."

Conte slapped his palms hard twice at the players, then moved the white tactical board to replace the players' iron absorbers.

"I ask you to speed up the ball."

"Take the ball to the back Brozovic as soon as possible, he controls the rhythm," Conte pointed his finger at Barrera and Ye Chen, "In this game, we mainly attack on the right side, you, Barrera, you, Ye, you two, run around Brozovic and create space for him to catch the ball!"

Conti paused for a moment and said to Ye Chen alone: "Ye, if you have space, shoot from a distance, hit them a few times to try, and observe the state of the goalkeeper."

"As for Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro, you two play freely up front, better be bold, shoot as you should, don't hesitate, like a lady!

"If the opponent starts with high pressure, grab the start, don't panic, they play a maximum of 15 minutes high, carry this quarter of an hour, and the next game will enter our own rhythm."

"Well, that's all, lads, go up and do it, don't disappoint the expedition fans who cost plane tickets and tickets!"

Players from both sides enter the pitch from within the narrow passage of the pitch.

When the live DJ introduced the two debuts, there was an episode.

When thinking of the visiting No.23 player Barrera.

St. Elia's Stadium erupted into a roar of boos!

“"Xu——"

“Xu——Xu！"

The stadium is small and can only accommodate 25,000 fans.

But the violent boos at the scene are still shocking!

"Barrera, they don't seem to welcome you very much." Ye Chen looked at Barrera behind him with concern.

"Haha, normal, I played for this field last season, and a few months later, I became their opponent."

Barrera looked harmless to humans and animals, and smiled, "However, my Italian marshal is still principled, although they boo me, but if I score a goal, I still choose not to celebrate!" "

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!

In this game, the home team Cagliari discharged the retro Christmas tree formation, 4321.

This formation, more than a decade ago, with AC Milan winning the Champions League, became popular in Europe, and also attracted many Serie A teams to follow suit.

However, in the past two years, it has almost disappeared in Serie A.

After all, having two front waists is a very luxurious idea.

But today, Cagliari's head coach Maran went out of his way to put two players with good running ability and physical ability – Na England and Joao Pedro – in the front line.

In order to start the game and storm Inter, try to steal a goal!

This is very much in line with Conte's expectations.

"Haha, Xu guides you to see, Cagliari pressed in the Inter half, the opening is high pressure, we can just see that there are four Cagliari players, together rushed to the Inter penalty area to grab the defender!"

In the studio of Huaxia Sports Channel, Duan Xuan was dazzled.

This game, replaced by him and Xu Yang commentary.

"Yes, this is to grab the opening," Xu Yang lowered his head and wrote on the book, "Although I didn't snatch the ball down just now, this wave of impact forced Inter defender Deflai to open his feet and return the ball to the opponent, so this pressing was successful!" A

few minutes later, Cagliari centre-forward Giovanni Simeone knocked away Inter centre-back Deflé and forced his way into the box.

And at the moment when another central defender Shik who came to assist in the defense blocked the shooting line, he

came to a tiptoe poke!

It's a pity that Handa is well positioned and presses the ball under him.

"Good risk! The fight was sudden, just a little right.

Xu Yang stared at the close-up of the No. 99 player's face, and hesitantly asked

: "Duan Xuan, Cagliari, this No. 99 guy, called Simeone, looks like the head coach of Atletico Madrid..."



football father and son: Atletico coach Simeone, son plays for Cagliari

Xu Yang doesn't see much Serie A, so he doesn't know much about this little Simeone.

"That's right, Coach Xu, you guessed it, this is the son of Atletico coach Simeone, 24-year-old Giovanni Simeone, and Serie A fans affectionately call him Simeone Jr.!"

"Last season, he scored eight goals in Fiorentina and is a rising star in Serie A football!"

Xu Yang nodded, and then observed Ye Chen's position.

He found that Ye Chen played a little awkward in the first seven or eight minutes.

It is even rare in the shot.
