When Gareth Bale received a diagonal pass from Rakitic on the left wing and faced Maicon alone, he suddenly poked the ball behind him. He was like a vigorous cheetah, and he immediately started to pass the ball.
Maicon was left behind.
In an instant, the entire Meazza stadium erupted in deafening exclamations.
I saw the Welshman was like a bolt of lightning, catching up with the ball he had just passed.
On the left side of the penalty area, facing Lucio who was surrounding him, Gareth Bale made a clever fake move and confused the Brazilian central defender. He went down to the bottom line and passed the low ball to the middle of the small penalty area.
Suarez quickly stepped in, pushed the ball ahead of Samuel, and sent the ball into the goal within easy reach, one to zero!
The entire Meazza stadium was filled with boos from Inter Milan fans.
Manchester City's players ran wildly to celebrate the goal amid boos from the sky.
…
In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again.
With a one-goal lead, Manchester City continued to play steadily. Inter Milan tried to use the opening to launch a wave of attacks against Manchester City. They did create two shots, but in the 54th minute, they were caught again by Manchester City.
Chance.
Suarez turned his back to the direction of the attack. After stopping the pass from Rakitic, he passed it back to David Silva at the front of the penalty area. The latter did not stop the ball and directly stuffed it behind him.
I saw Gareth Bale on the left start quickly and forcefully rush into the left side of Inter Milan's penalty area. Although there was interference from Maicon, goalkeeper Cesar blocked the near corner early, but Gareth Bale
Still very calm, he didn't stop the ball, and shot a low ball with his left foot.
The ball went straight to the right side of the goal at extremely high speed and hit the side netting on the right side of the goal.
Two to zero!
…
Inter Milan, playing at home, still performed very tenaciously.
In the 60th minute, with the assist of Moutinho, Zanetti, who came in from behind, took advantage of Manchester City's defensive loophole and got a goal back for Inter Milan. This was also Inter Milan's first goal in the Champions League this season.
Score a goal.
At the same time, it was also the first goal conceded by Manchester City in the Champions League.
But after conceding the goal, Manchester City kept launching fierce attacks towards Inter Milan, especially Gareth Bale on the left and Robben on the right, who were extremely active.
Ten minutes later, Gareth Bale again passed the ball on the left, past Maicon who was trying to grab him, and then dribbled the ball all the way to the left side of Inter Milan's penalty area, seizing the opportunity.
, before defensive players such as Lucio and Zanetti could get closer, he moved with his left foot.
The ball was quickly transferred to the right side of the penalty area by Gareth Bale.
Robben quickly stepped in, judged the landing point, and stopped the ball with his chest.
Qi Wu came over immediately, preparing to mark Robben.
But the Dutch winger didn't give Chiwu any chance to breathe and prepare. As soon as the two sides came into contact, Robben made a series of dizzying fake moves. He passed Chiwu straight away, dribbling the ball horizontally into the penalty area with his left foot.
Drawn a curve ball.
The ball drew an elegant arc and turned into the upper left corner of Inter Milan's goal.
Neither goalkeeper Cesar, nor Samuel, nor Cambiasso could do anything about it.
Three to one!
…
Standing in front of the visiting team's coaching bench at San Siro, Gao Shen watched the game intently.
With every attack by Manchester City, more than 80,000 Inter Milan fans at the scene would let out bursts of exclamations.
Their emotions are aroused by everything that happens on the court anytime and anywhere, and they all seem so involuntary.
This is an extremely spectacular and shocking scene.
Gao Shen would turn his head from time to time and look at the Nerazzurri fans behind him, and then at Leonardo in front of the home team's coach's bench.
Like Gao Shen, Leonardo also stood outside and directed the whole game, but his expression looked really bad.
Because throughout the game, his team's performance was far below his expectations.
The wave of offensives he expected to see did not happen. Instead, Manchester City on the opposite side launched waves of fierce offensives, especially on the left and right flanks.
The performance of Gareth Bale and Robben in tonight's game is really eye-catching!
One to three, this score is irreparable for Inter Milan, which was lagging behind in all statistics throughout the game.
Leonardo tried to make a substitution, replacing Coutinho with Muntari, and switched to playing in the third midfielder.
After Gao Shen looked at it, he smiled slightly, but didn't do anything.
If the opponent wants to strengthen their defense, Manchester City's best way is of course to maintain offensive pressure.
As for Muntari, he is no longer the same Muntari who just returned to Serie A from the Premier League when Gao Shen coached Naples.
Throughout the game, except for Zanetti's goal, Manchester City's performance was almost impeccable.
Gao Shen suppressed Leonardo both in formation and on-the-spot command.
The Brazilians really have no chance at all.
…
First, they suffered a 3-0 away defeat to Naples, and then a 1-3 home defeat to Manchester City.
Two consecutive defeats were a serious blow to Inter Milan's morale.
What's more, Leonardo's team will likely lose the entire season.
Far away in Madrid, Spain, in another matchup in this group, Real Madrid is currently tied with Schalke 04 at 1-1. Ronaldo scored the goal on Real Madrid's side, and Raul scored on Schalke 04's side.
door, the game is not over yet.
But if we look at the current situation, Inter Milan is likely to be at the bottom of the group.
Realizing this, the faces of Moratti and his son sitting in the stands were very ugly.
When Mourinho chose to leave Inter Milan and go to Spain to coach Real Madrid, Inter Milan's management had already realized that their team was beginning to have a huge crisis.
Hiring Leonardo was a big gamble, but now it seems that it may cost him everything.
If they fail to achieve anything in the league or Champions League this season, it will be a very painful lesson for Inter Milan.
"This is the strength of the world's top coach!" Angelo Moratti pointed to the court reluctantly and said.
He was optimistic about Gao Shen a long time ago, and he even asked Inter Milan to hire Gao Shen against all odds. However, his father, Moratti, the chairman of Inter Milan, was too hesitant and missed a valuable opportunity.
Excellent opportunity for revitalization.
If Gao Shen had coached Inter Milan, the current situation of the Nerazzurri would be completely different.
"In front of him, we didn't even have the slightest chance to resist. Look at Ibrahimovic again. Gao Shen is right. Every time there is a strong dialogue, his legs are weak. He has missed out in the group stage so far.
How many chances are there?”
Speaking of this, Angelo Moratti really looked resentful.
According to his idea, Inter Milan should not be what it is now.
It was because of his father's hesitation that he missed precious opportunities. Over the years, he spent almost all his belongings on it. What did he get in the end?
Moratti remained silent.
Even the person who hates him the most in the world cannot deny his feelings for Inter Milan.
But even those who support him the most have to admit that as the chairman of Inter Milan, he really fails.
Emotions are emotions, business is business.
But with Moratti, emotions and business are always intertwined. He wants everything, but always gets nothing.
Although Angelo didn't say anything, Moratti also knew that this season was over!
The league was reversed by Napoli, and they were at the bottom of the Champions League group stage. Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely to qualify from the group.
Because in the next round, Inter Milan will be a guest at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
Sometimes, he couldn't help but wonder, if the person who coached Inter Milan was Gao Shen...
But every time he thought about it, he would be awakened by the cruel reality.
He regretted it, but to no avail.
…
The game is over.
Gao Shen raised his fists high and cheered for his players' performance.
Manchester City's players also celebrated their victory on the pitch.
Three to one, Blue Moon defeated Inter Milan in an away game and won three consecutive group wins.
And as long as they defeat Inter Milan at home in the next fourth round, Manchester City will be able to advance from the group.
But these are not the point.
The point is, the so-called super team of death met the strongest teams in the three major leagues. As a result, everyone in Manchester City discovered that their opponents did not seem to be as strong as they imagined.
In other words, in front of Manchester City, the opponent's strength has no advantage.
This has brought unprecedented confidence to Manchester City, making every player in Manchester City realize that what coach Gao Shen said before is that they not only want to qualify from the group stage, but also go forward and even compete for the championship.
.
When they realized this, everyone had a look of confidence and pride on their faces.
This is how a strong team is tempered by winning one victory after another!
Leonardo came over politely and shook hands with Gao Shen, but said nothing and walked away.
Gao Shen didn't care. He walked to the sidelines and greeted his players one by one.
He gave affirmation to this game, but at the same time reminded the players that there will be another game in two weeks, which will be a key battle that determines the group's ability to qualify early.
Manchester City players have already admired Gao Shen so much, how could they not listen to him?
Gao Shen, after celebrating with his assistants, packed up his things and walked into the player tunnel.
The Inter Milan fans at the scene began to vent their dissatisfaction. If they stay on the court any longer, there is no guarantee that they may suffer.
When Gao Shen and his group walked towards the visiting team's locker room chatting and laughing, at the corner of the passage, they saw Angelo Moratti, the crown prince of Inter Milan, standing there in the distance, greeting Gao Shen with a smile.
He had contacted Gao Shen many times before and even had long conversations.
Gao Shen signaled his assistants to go back to the locker room to prepare, and walked straight towards Moratti.
"Hello, Angelo."
"Congratulations, Gao, you performed better!" Moratti still said congratulations very gracefully.
For operators like them, losing a game or even the Champions League is nothing.
"Do you have time? I have some questions to ask you." Moratti looked at Gao Shen, his eyes full of eager anticipation.
