Chapter 285 The Protesting Knee
Inter Milan kicked off first.
Inter Milan's starting style of play is very simple, that is, go directly to Lukaku in the frontcourt, hoping to use Lukaku's own strength to create opportunities.
Belgian striker Lukaku is currently one of the top centers in the world.
His strong body, nimble footwork, and excellent finishing ability allowed him to win the title of "Warcraft" after Didier Drogba.
On the World Cup stage last year, Lukaku's performance was eye-catching, crushing opponents like a bulldozer and ending the game.
Lukaku looked at the ball coming in the air, judged the landing point of the football, leaned his body against the defensive player behind him, and easily unloaded the ball with his chest.
Looking at this unreasonable offensive method, Manchester City's head coach Guardiola shouted loudly off the court, asking the players in the backcourt to pay attention to helping Lukaku.
For a player like Lukaku, it is impossible for a defender to guard him.
Lukaku was like a bridgehead in Manchester City's half, constantly using his physical advantage, or stopping the football at his feet, or heading the ball to his teammates.
Li Mingyu felt the huge pressure Lukaku brought to the backcourt defense, and frowned.
One Lukaku suppressed Manchester City's midfield and backcourt a little out of breath.
What a great player!
Li Mingyu greeted Bernardo Silva, and retreated to the backcourt, preparing to form a double midfielder with Rodri to restrain Lukaku.
Seeing that Li Mingyu was going to help him defend himself, Lukaku didn't care.
Lukaku is very confident in his physical fitness. He is confident that no one in European football can compete with him physically.
Inter Milan once again kicked the ball high in midfield, ready to find Lukaku in the frontcourt.
Lukaku easily caught Rodri's body with his body, ready to jump up and head the ball to Lautaro Martinez not far away.
However, as soon as Lukaku jumped up, he saw a figure leaping high from his side, and pushed the football hard in front of him.
A big No. 10 appeared in Lukaku's eyes.
When did Li Mingyu appear?
Lukaku was a little upset, so he wanted to push Li Mingyu from behind.
But suddenly, an instruction not to hurt the opponent appeared in his mind, making him stretch out his hand and retract it.
Li Mingyu fell to the ground and rushed forward quickly.
Because he headed the ball to Bernardo Silva on the flank, it was a rare fast break opportunity.
Bernardo Silva did not hesitate. After receiving the ball, he directly sent the ball forward. Just in time, Li Mingyu rushed over.
Manchester City's fast break rushed towards Inter Milan's frontcourt with lightning speed.
Inter Milan's defensive players never thought that the ball would be hit back so quickly.
They know Lukaku's strength. Even if they can't win the header, they can at least interfere, making it impossible for the opponent to get it easily.
Unexpectedly, Li Mingyu hit the ball one step earlier than Lukaku, directly turning this attack into a fast break for the opponent.
Sterling on the wing followed quickly, and behind Li Mingyu, Bernardo Silva, Sterling, and Foden on the right all followed quickly.
While breaking through, Li Mingyu said silently in his heart, "Start 'Assault'."
This kind of opportunity to counterattack does not come every day. After activating the "Assault" skill, a golden road appeared in front of Li Mingyu's eyes, pointing directly at the weak point of the opponent's defense.
Li Mingyu advanced quickly, and after three steps, his speed had reached its peak.
Inter Milan captain Nicolo Barrera's task today is to mark Li Mingyu.
However, when Li Mingyu suddenly retreated just now, he did not choose to follow. After all, this was his side's offensive round.
Unexpectedly, Li Mingyu launched a quick break.
When Nicolo Barrera wanted to post it, it was already too late. Looking at Li Mingyu who was running over at a high speed, Nicolo Barrera had no choice but to foul.
But Li Mingyu was very keen to discover the opponent's intentions. If Nicolo Barrera fouled him, then the "Assault" skill would be wasted. Even if he gave the opponent a topaz God of War card, it would be meaningless to him.
Suddenly, Li Mingyu had an idea, gritted his teeth, and a trace of madness flashed in his eyes.
Give it a try, just once.
Li Mingyu suddenly stepped on the football with his right foot while running at high speed, and the sudden stop made Nicolo Barrera feel uncomfortable for a while. He was ready to meet Li Mingyu's collision and pull Li Mingyu to the ground directly.
Li Mingyu's sudden stop made him feel very awkward.
However, after the emergency stop, Li Mingyu suddenly and quickly started up again, but in a different direction.
Nicolo Barrera's center of gravity was suddenly shaken, and he stretched out his hand unwillingly, hoping to grab Li Mingyu's jersey.
But Li Mingyu waved his sleeves and rushed over with the ball from his side.
The fans in the audience were constantly exclaiming because of Li Mingyu's ups and downs just now.
Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.
Some people who knew the game couldn't help but their teeth ached. Although only Li Mingyu knew how much pressure Li Mingyu's action put on his knees, anyone who knew the game could understand it.
Guardiola's face on the sidelines turned pale. Guardiola seemed to have heard Li Mingyu's knees wailing unwillingly after the sudden stop and change of direction just now.
Guardiola could hardly bear it and asked the team doctor to check if there was any problem with Li Mingyu's knee.
Li Mingyu on the field also felt the protest from his knees against him after the pass just now. If he did it again, maybe his knees would make a terrifying sound, "Boom", like a rubber band being pulled.
However, fortunately, Li Mingyu's body is strong enough. The attribute increase brought by the drawn skills and Li Mingyu's hard work in his usual training made his legs and knees very strong.
After Li Mingyu broke through Nicolo Barrera, he faced Inter Milan's back line directly.
With no way to retreat, Inter Milan's defense had no choice but to bite the bullet and stop Li Mingyu. As a result, Li Mingyu easily changed direction, and I pierced through Inter Milan's entire defense.
After shaking out a shooting angle, Li Mingyu swung his right leg directly, kicked the football towards Inter Milan's goal with a powerful kick.
Goalkeeper Ionuit Radu made an extreme save. His fingertips had already touched the football, but he couldn't stop the football from crashing into the goal.
1: 0.
