Before the Arsenal players could kick the ball out, referee Hansen blew the whistle to end the first half. Although the first half required at least three to five minutes of stoppage time due to what had just happened, he did not
No additional time was given.
After the game, some media rarely praised the referee Hansen's handling of the situation: immediately entering the halftime break to allow both sides of the game, especially Arsenal, to relax and avoid causing more trouble.
The Arsenal players walked towards the players' tunnel with their heads hanging down and dejectedly.
The Inter Milan players had smiles on their faces, and they talked in low voices with beaming faces. However, after receiving a warning from captain Zanetti, no one spoke loudly in order to avoid irritating the Arsenal people.
Inter Milan players return to the visiting team's dressing room.
Their head coach put his hands on the table, glanced around, and began to speak.
"We scored three goals, but the Arsenal guys stole our thunder at the last minute."
This remark caused a roar of laughter, and everyone was extremely happy.
Li Ang didn't stop it. In fact, he was enjoying it himself.
When everyone had laughed enough, Li Ang straightened his face and said, "So, (under such circumstances) how many more (goals) can we score in the second half of the game?"
***********
"The most important thing for Arsenal now is that they have to avoid conceding more goals." During the halftime break, England commentator Gary Lineker said.
"You're right, Arsenal want to avoid a fiasco that will go down in history." Eddie Gray said sarcastically, "But the problem is, they first have to ask Inter Milan if they agree."
"Three to zero, Inter Milan should be satisfied," Lineker said.
"Obviously we can score more goals and turn the second round into a formality." Eddie Gray said, "I don't see any possibility of Inter Milan being 'lenient'."
Obviously, even the commentators in England have confirmed that Arsenal's defeat is certain. Let alone a comeback, whether they can withstand Inter Milan's surging offensive in the second half is a question.
You know, with Gallas and Clichy being sent off, Arsenal were missing two players.
The kick-off time for the second half of the game has arrived, and Inter Milan players are already waiting on the turf of the stadium, but Arsenal players did not show up.
Li Ang subconsciously looked at the watch on his wrist and glanced at the direction of the players' tunnel.
"Some staff went to urge it," Banderas said.
Then, Li Ang saw the Arsenal players running out of the players' corridor. At the same time, huge boos broke out in the stands of the Emirates Stadium, which could be said to be overwhelming boos.
Arsenal fans may be able to accept Arsenal's loss, but they cannot accept losing in this way. It can be said that Gallas and Clichy were sent off for internal strife, which angered all Arsenal.
Nagoya fans, this made them feel great anger and humiliation.
They can't forgive this team today.
Li Ang glanced at Arsenal's coaching bench. Wenger's face was gloomy and he sat down on the coaching bench without saying a word.
After this game ended, the professor's life was not going to be easy.
Li Ang didn't have the slightest sympathy, but instead felt inexplicably happy. He also discovered that he had a hobby. Whenever he defeated these famous coaches, especially when he tortured these people, it felt so good.
Of course, he is also a famous handsome man himself.
***********
Before the start of the second half, Arsenal made a substitution. Ivory Coast defender Kolo Toure came on as a substitute, replacing Hleb.
Li Ang narrowed his eyes. He wanted to use this substitution to understand Arsenal's tactical adjustments and deployment in the second half.
"Playing with a back three?"
An attacking midfielder was replaced and a defender was replaced.
Now, Arsenal's defense only has three defenders: Senderos, Sagna and Kolo Toure who just came on as a substitute.
In the midfield, without Hleb, there are Fabregas and Diaby, Eboue and Flamini, and then Adebayor is alone at the front.
"Is this going to be a three-and-four formation?"
Soon, Li Ang confirmed his judgment by observing the position and movement of Arsenal players.
Li Ang shook his head. It wasn't that he looked down on Wenger. This substitution adjustment was really hard to call clever. Perhaps it could also reveal Wenger's contradictions.
Adding a defender to strengthen the backline means strengthening the defense. However, we still want to attack, so we just formed a nondescript three-back formation consisting of one full-back and two central defenders.
There are still four offensive-oriented players in the midfield, and there is Adebayor in front to maintain impact.
This is really a self-contradictory tactical adjustment: Wenger is worried about continuing to concede goals, but he also dreams of scoring goals to narrow the point difference!
With Arsenal only having nine players on the field, this kind of thinking and adjustment is really naive!
In Li Ang's view, there is only one real way out for Arsenal now, which is to strengthen the defense and ensure a full lineup of four defenders. At the same time, replace the midfielder with aggressive players, fully retreat, and strive not to lose the ball again, or
Conceal fewer goals and avoid bigger defeats.
Obviously, Wenger did not choose this.
Wenger's adjustment is like a dilapidated thatched house with air leaks everywhere. A storm is coming, but he only repairs a few holes in the hope of escaping the disaster. At the same time, he dreams of lighting a fire to drain the rainwater.
Bake dry...
"It seems that Wenger is really a dreamer, and he even responded with a trace of fantasy." Li Ang smiled playfully. In this case, he didn't mind being more cruel and completely piercing the professor's touch points.
***********
Inter Milan's players faithfully implemented the tactics formulated by the coach during the halftime break: No mercy! Attack! Attack! Attack!!!
"Goal as many goals as possible!" Li Ang's request was simple, yet so cruel.
Inter Milan's first goal in the second half came quickly.
In the 51st minute, Inter Milan launched an attack, completely tearing apart Arsenal's defense that seemed to be leaking everywhere.
Arshavin and Mata suddenly changed positions, and the Russian moved to the left. He used his skills to get past Sagna and broke into the penalty area, causing chaos in Arsenal's defense in the penalty area.
Then he passed the football to the center, and Adriano, who was completely unguarded, responded in the center. Facing the goalkeeper, Adriano fired a shot, and the football went directly into the upper left corner of the goal. Such a shot, Almunia
Although the save was made, it was only a symbolic save.
"Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!"
"Adriano! The Brazilian also scored! Inter Milan's fourth player scored the fourth goal for the team! Their offense is in full bloom."
"This is the goal that made Arsenal collapse!" Ferrari said, his poisonous tongue spraying venom wantonly, "No, they should have collapsed long ago."
"Zero to four! Defeat is determined! Arsenal suffered a humiliating massacre!"
"Arsenal, without two players, is now completely full of loopholes!"
"Wenger's adjustment seems to be to strengthen the defense, but it is of no use at all. Now there is no threat to Inter Milan offensively, and there are gaps everywhere defensively!"
The camera was shown to the sidelines. Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger was sitting on the coaching bench with a dull expression on his face, staring blankly at the field.
"Even three Wengers can't do anything now." Lineker lamented.
"Are three Arsene Wengers as good as one Leon?" Eddie Gray, who was very angry at Arsenal's performance, said sarcastically. His words have also become a classic commentary in the history of the UEFA Champions League.
On the other side, seeing Adriano scoring a goal, Li Ang just sat on the coaching bench and applauded, without even leaving his buttocks. In this situation, the goal was already expected by him, and it was no longer so
Excited.
Seeing this scene in the eyes of Arsenal fans, the damage they suffered instantly increased a lot. The opponent's head coach was not excited after the goal. This was simply a silent contempt and humiliation for Arsenal.
***********
Five minutes after conceding the ball, Arsenal made their second substitution adjustment.
Walcott came on as a substitute and Adebayor was replaced.
When Li Ang saw this substitution, he immediately understood Wenger's tactical intention, which was to use Walcott's speed to threaten Inter Milan's goal.
Are you still thinking about attacking?!
Li Ang shook his head. He didn't understand why Wenger was so obsessed at this time and still wanted to attack. At this time, the most realistic thing for Arsenal to do is to be a coward and stop conceding the ball.
Li Ang also made adjustments after seven or eight minutes.
Adriano, the hero of the goal, was replaced and the young Balotelli came on as a substitute.
With the overall situation decided, Li Ang sent Balotelli to give this young man a chance to experience the quarter-finals of the Champions League. This is a very rare and rare competition opportunity for a young player.
Of course, it would be even better if Balotelli could seize the opportunity to score assists or goals.
However, even Li Ang did not expect that Super Mario's performance after coming on the stage was so amazing and so 'bright'!
This was just over a minute after Balotelli came on the field, and it was also the 65th minute of the game. Arsenal finally gained possession of the ball. However, their pass in the frontcourt was intercepted by Inter Milan again. Inter Milan's
The offensive comes again.
After a quick pass, the football reached Mata's feet.
Mata stepped on the bicycle and looked like he was going to break through on his own. This made the Arsenal players feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. Mata's previous goal impressed them deeply. This is a guy who can go into the penalty area and score goals on his own.
However, after Mata made a false shot, he did not choose to break through, but chose to pass the ball.
He passed across.
The football fell to Balotelli.
Arsenal (4411): 24-Almunia/3-Sagna, 10-Galla, 6-Senderos, 22-Clichy/27-Eboue (70'32-Walcott
When Balotelli received the ball, he made a move to break through. Flamini, who was deceiving him and was defending him, rushed over. In the end, Balotelli just made a fake move and pulled the football back.
Smash the ball again, trying to break through to the other side.
Flamini was deceived, and after realizing that he had been deceived, he tried to force his weight back, but his foot slipped and he sat on the ground.
Balotelli, who got rid of Flamini so easily, passed the football in the opposite direction and entered the penalty area.
Subsequently, this Italian boy named Mario Balotelli fully demonstrated his skills with his feet. In such a small space in the penalty area, he faced Kolo Toure's attack and spiked the ball three times in a row, which made Toure embarrassed.
When he was in a bad situation, he suddenly cut inside and missed the ball, passing another person.
"Balotelli! Balotelli! Toure! Another one! One-shot! Almunia attacks——"
Almunia attacked decisively and rushed forward. The result was that Balotelli had almost just passed Kolo Toure when he saw Almunia rushing out. The distance between the two was only
Less than two meters, this is almost inevitable!
"Almunia! Beautiful! Timely attack!" Lineker was full of praise for Almunia's attack. The goalkeeper almost blocked the angle of Balotelli's shot.
"Balotelli! God! Beautiful! He shot -" As the commentator roared in a prolonged voice, Balotelli took a shot.
He did not raise his thigh to shoot. When he was very close to the goalkeeper, such a volley was almost destined to be blocked. Balotelli chose to poke and poke with his toes. The football kicked out was very fast, and
Because his shooting action was very concealed, goalkeeper Almunia almost didn't have time to make a dive!
Indeed it is!
When Almunia saw Balotelli shoot, he saw the football being shot and tried to make a save, but it was already too late!
Arsenal (4411): 24-Almunia/3-Sagna, 10-Galla, 6-Senderos, 22-Clichy/27-Eboue (70'32-Walcott
The football quickly rolled past Almunia's feet and into the net!
"Balotelli! Balotelli! Balotelli!!! Balotelli - Goooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!" the Italian TV commentator shouted crazily.
Not only them, but also commentators from other national television stations are like this.
This Italian kid had just played for a little over a minute. When he touched the ball for the first time, he passed two people. Facing the goalkeeper's attack, he scored such a wonderful goal so calmly. This is simply crazy! So much so that the commentator
It's all going crazy!
Even the commentators in England had to cheer for Balotelli's genius goal.
"Balotelli...beautiful! This is really a genius goal! Flamini and Kolo Toure can't stop him! His footwork is so beautiful! Facing Almunia's attack, this
The Italian boy is as calm as an iceberg, but Almunia seems helpless in the face of such a stab!"
Even the opponents were cheering for this goal, which shows how wonderful Balotelli's goal was.
