After Materazzi was sent off with a red card, there was basically no need to watch the game.
But another thing that makes Gao Shen feel a little embarrassed is that Liverpool has been unable to open up the situation.
Gao Shen is really anxious and wants to ask Benitez why he leaves Xavi Alonso on the bench but doesn't use it?
At least we sorted out the midfield and ended the game in the first round without any problems.
But in the end, the two sides continued to be in a stalemate.
An interesting thing happened in the second half. Mancini replaced Cruz with Vieira. As a result, within two minutes of playing, Vieira sent a wonderful pass and "assisted" Torres to form a single goal.
Fortunately, Cesar acted like a god and saved Torres' single-handed ball, thus avoiding an embarrassment.
But in the end, in the final stage of the game, Liverpool scored two goals, both organized and planned by Pennant who came on the bench.
Benitez's substitutions are quite skillful.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Inter Milan 2-0 at home.
In the entire game, Liverpool took 25 shots and six of them were on target, while Inter Milan only had four poor shots and zero shots on target.
…
When the game left the field, Gao Shen's mood was quite complicated.
On the one hand, he felt that Inter Milan could not make it past the top 16.
The score of 0-2 in the away game is very painful for Inter Milan, and the probability of a comeback at home is very slim...
But this will also have an impact on the focus of the twenty-sixth round.
Originally, if there was a chance to advance, Mancini might stay and prepare for the second round of the Champions League, but now the chance is slim. Gao Shen doesn't know. With Mancini's conservatism, will he stay in the league?
Maybe he will choose to do his best to protect the league.
On the other hand, he also had to admit that the competitiveness of Serie A teams in the European arena is really weak.
Even a team like Inter Milan, which is invincible in Serie A, met a Liverpool in such a bad state and still managed to score 0-2. What else is there to say?
"Oh! I really can't rejoice in my misfortune!" Gao Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Lucas and Buenaventura also had wry smiles on their faces.
Inter Milan is unfavorable in the European war and will inevitably put all its energy into Serie A.
In this case, with Inter Milan's dominance in Serie A, the probability of making a mistake will be even smaller.
At least, this team is really too strong in Serie A!
"It can actually be seen from this game that Inter Milan's willpower is really weak. In key battles, no matter who it is, they obviously lack confidence. This is also an advantage for us." Lucas said.
There are different understandings.
"Yeah, push them into a corner and they'll have problems themselves," Buenaventura said.
Gao Shen nodded, this is a common characteristic of all teams with weak willpower.
If it were Ferguson's Manchester United that got stronger when it encountered a strong force, and it really reached a dead end, the fighting power that the Red Devils and Manchester United would unleash would be even more astonishing.
"So, we have to work harder and try to drive them to a dead end!" Gao Shen said.
To force Inter Milan to a dead end, we must first kill Inter Milan in the twenty-sixth round of the league!
After watching tonight's match between Liverpool and Inter Milan, Gao Shen already had some thoughts in his mind.
…
When Inter Milan lost to Liverpool 0-2 away from home, AC Milan drew 0-0 away from Arsenal.
This game also had mixed results for Ancelotti's team.
Roma reversed Real Madrid 2-1 away from home.
Raul scored the first goal for Real Madrid, but then Roma scored two goals in a row.
It is worth mentioning that after this game, Marca and AS, which are close to Real Madrid, published news that they were dissatisfied with head coach Schuster and called on the team to bring back Gao Shen.
"At least Gao Shen can lead Naples to a 6-0 victory over Roma!"
As Real Madrid's performance declines rapidly, Galacticos fans miss Gao Shen more and more.
Especially when they saw Gao Shen leading Napoli to occupy the second place in Serie A and shine, they missed the great legend of Gao Shen leading the team to miraculously reverse Barcelona and achieve the double championship.

…………
Round 24 of Serie A.
Juventus challenged Reggina away from home.
The two sides fought hard for ninety minutes, still one to one, but in stoppage time, Reggina won a penalty kick opportunity, and Amoruso made the penalty kick, sealing the victory for Reggina.
Zanetti received a red card at the last minute of stoppage time.
This defeat puts Juventus in great danger, let alone the league title, even fourth place in Serie A.
The Bianconeri management protested the referee in an open letter after the game, believing they had been treated unfairly.
However, clubs including Inter Milan, Turin, Genoa and other clubs have successively spoken out, believing that Juventus's move was to put pressure on the referee, which was very inappropriate behavior.
…
Napoli plays away to Livorno in this round.
After recharging their energy, the team relied on Cavani's two goals to defeat the opponent 2-0 away from home and scored three points again.
Roma defeated Fiorentina 1-0 at home with Cicinho's goal.
…
Gu Huan
Inter Milan, who returned from a humiliating 2-0 defeat in England, headed to an away game to challenge Sampdoria.
Mazzarri's team must have also studied this game at Anfield. They fought high and high from the beginning, engaged in a fierce battle with Inter Milan, suppressed Inter Milan's midfield, and quickly won the initiative.
However, Sampdoria frequently wasted opportunities. It was not until the 65th minute that Cassano turned around and got rid of Materazzi, then broke through Inter Milan's goal and opened the scoring for Sampdoria.
But the good times didn't last long. In the 77th minute, Crespo equalized the score for Inter Milan with a header.
After that, the two sides never scored again.
One to one, the two teams shook hands and made a draw.
…………
…………
"yeah!!!!"
The match between Inter Milan and Sampdoria kicks off at 15pm.
Since it was a double match a week, Naples still insisted on training the day after the game. However, Gao Shen specifically postponed the team's training time for this game.
After watching Inter Milan's 1-1 away draw with Sampdoria, Gao Shen jumped up with excitement.
Not only him, but the entire coach's office and even the players' lounge next door let out a burst of cheers.
Gao Shen strode out of the coach's office and happened to see the door to the players' lounge across the street open, and Naples players were celebrating loudly inside.
Seeing Gao Shen walk in, the players all smiled, but they gradually became quiet.
"Have you all seen the game?" Gao Shen asked loudly with a smile.
The players nodded in unison, "Look!"
"Five points!" Gao Shen gestured with the palm of his right hand, "We are only five points behind Inter Milan!"
The players cheered uncontrollably again.
"I can see that you are all very excited at this moment, and so am I!"
"I said, guys, I said, Inter Milan will definitely make mistakes. Their team lacks the strength to fight hard. Once they fight on two fronts, they will definitely lose points and make mistakes. I was right.
Bar?"
The players nodded one after another. Gao Shen was absolutely right.
Gao Shen had already told the players about this judgment as early as the winter break training camp, instead of just making an afterthought now.
The players will undoubtedly be more convinced and admire the advanced prediction ability.
Because Inter Milan really lost points.
From a nine-point lead to a five-point lead now.
It’s not easy!
"I want to say, guys, believe me, Inter Milan will definitely lose points again, maybe even in the next game."
In the next game, Inter Milan will face Roma.
In terms of strength, the Nerazzurri have an obvious advantage, but the current morale of Inter Milan is really very bad.
Just now in the game, when Vieira was substituted, he kicked away the drink box and refused to shake Mancini's hand.
There is also Materazzi, who was sent off after 30 minutes of playing at Anfield. He couldn't defend against Cassani this time. He is almost old.
What does this prove?
"Inter Milan's internal conflicts are constantly being exposed. From the loss to Liverpool to the current draw with Sampdoria, this originally tyrannical Serie A hegemon is gradually losing their power!"
"We need to show our best level, defeat our opponents, wait for Inter Milan to make mistakes, and then kill this opponent at the San Paolo Stadium!"
"I believe, I have always believed, that you are the strongest in Serie A!"
Gao Shen's words greatly boosted the morale and fighting spirit of the Naples players.
This group of young players, even Cannavaro Jr., never thought that they could win the league championship. Although people like Callejon and Parejo have won double championships, they have never thought that they can win the league championship.
But they are just supporting roles.
But now, they all have the opportunity to become the protagonist!
Become an important member of the team to win the Serie A championship!
"I hope that in every next game, you can treat it as the most important game of your career. We have to win every opponent, so in the end, the championship must belong to us!"
"Can it be done?"
"Yes!" The players all roared vigorously.
…………
…………
Three days later, the 25th round of Serie A.
Juventus drew 0-0 with Torino at home.
Ranieri's team dropped points again and again, and the situation became worse and worse.
This basically confirmed Gao Shen's previous judgment of this team. After losing the Alpine game, Juventus's backbone was crippled.
…
The two-front battle also put AC Milan into a bottleneck. Ancelotti's team drew 1-1 away with Catania.
Naples' morale was high. Although they encountered Genoa's stubborn interception in the away game, they still relied on the goals of Hamsik and Cavani to defeat Genoa 2-0 in the away game and scored three points again.
In another focus game, Roma almost successfully attacked Inter Milan in the away game. Totti's goal gave Roma an hour-long lead. Inter Milan was helpless and performed as sluggish as ever.
But who would have thought that at the last moment of the game, Mexes received two yellow cards in a row and was sent off with a red card in a short period of time. Four minutes later, Zanetti scored to help Inter Milan equalize the score.
In the end, the two sides shook hands and made a draw.
