Inter Milan scored so early, Barcelona did not expect it. The game had just started, and their defense had not even had time to organize. Inter Milan took advantage of this small time difference and caught Barcelona off guard.
Barcelona head coach Rijkaard stood on the sidelines, his face extremely gloomy, but he was also helpless over such a conceding goal.
He previously thought that Inter Milan had a 4-2 lead in the first round away from home. In the second round of the game, Inter Milan would adopt relatively conservative tactics, slowing down first to attract the opponent to attack and then defend.
Counterattack strategy.
He didn't expect Li Ang's team to attack so resolutely in the opening game, which was completely beyond his expectation.
Of course, Barcelona's scoring so early is also partly due to luck. Sometimes you may not be able to score a goal even if you lay siege for the whole game. For example, Inter Milan scored in just over 20 seconds on their first attack.
Well, this can certainly be said to be a stroke of luck.
"What a lucky guy!" Rijkaard was very depressed.
However, at this time, there is no point in complaining about one's own bad luck and the other party's bad luck. Being behind in the score means being behind in the score. This conceded goal directly puts Barcelona in a very dangerous situation.
***********
Originally, they lost 2-4 at home in the first round, which meant that Barcelona needed to win 3-0 at San Siro to advance. For Barcelona, even though they have strong offensive power, this is also a very difficult task.
Of course, this is not an impossible mission. There is still a glimmer of hope.
Only now, they conceded a goal at the beginning, which means Barcelona needs to score four more goals and a score of four to one to advance.
This makes it even more difficult for them to make a comeback. If the previous difficulty was an extreme dilemma mode, now it is a hell mode.
Moreover, based on Rijkaard's understanding of Li Ang, now, with such a goal in hand and a 1-0 lead, Li Ang's Inter Milan will be more calm because they have more room for maneuver.
.
When playing against Li Ang's team, the most fearful thing is to let them take the lead. In the next game, Inter Milan can continue to attack or defend and counterattack conservatively. Moreover, the most troublesome thing is that Li Ang's team will not be able to defeat these two players.
They are very good at all kinds of tactics, they can attack well, and their defensive counterattacks are also their special skills. Such a team that can attack and defend is really something that no team wants to encounter.
How should Barcelona respond?
Attack it out?
The offense is certain, Barcelona needs to score four more goals to make a comeback!
However, Rijkaard knew that at this time, he absolutely could not press out and attack regardless of everything. I am afraid that Liang was eager for Barcelona to lose their mind and press out because of this conceding goal.
Rijkaard finally decided to stabilize the defense first and stabilize the position: first of all, to stabilize the mentality of the players, not to panic, not to let Inter Milan take this opportunity to score another goal, if they fall behind 0-2,
Barcelona must score four goals to equalize the total score, and score five goals to make a comeback. Then this game can almost be surrendered in advance.
Rijkaard was afraid that his players would lose their composure because of this lost ball. He stood on the sidelines and kept shouting loudly to the court while gesturing to the players to calm down.
Li Ang glanced at the visiting team's coaching bench in surprise. He didn't expect Rijkaard to be able to hold back and not lose control because of losing the ball. He originally planned that if Barcelona pressed out desperately, he could take the opportunity to make another sneak attack.
Woolen cloth.
However, that's okay.
Now Inter Milan has a total score of 5 to 2, and they have enough confidence. They are not in a hurry.
***********
In the subsequent games, Inter Milan played unhurriedly, and the passage of time was acceptable to them. They were not in a hurry.
And Barcelona was also experienced. They did not mess up their position or press forward rashly. Instead, they stabilized their position and the game fell into silence for a while.
However, everyone knows that this is only a temporary calm. Maybe at some moment, this calm will be broken and it will become full of sparks.
What broke this calm and balance was an accident.
In the 15th minute of the game, during an attack by Barcelona, Messi suddenly sent an overhead ball after spiking the ball with his left foot. This seemingly inadvertent pass created a loophole in Inter Milan's defense. Subsequently, Inetes crossed over to assist.
After finishing the shot, Cesar stretched his legs and blocked the football from the baseline.
Corner kick for Barcelona!
Barcelona used this corner kick to equalize the score, and the goal scorer was Yaya Toure.
The Ivory Coast star won the battle with Chivu. He headed the ball into the goal. Toure's header was so accurate and hard that Cesar didn't even react and watched the football go into the goal.
***********
"Goooooooooooooooaaaaaal!" the Catalan commentator was excited, "One to one! One to one! Toure! Toure! We equalized the score! The total score is 3 to 5! We still have a chance! We still have a chance!
Barça! Barça! Barça! Forward!”
Chivu complained to the Swiss referee Massimo Busacca, who believed that Toure committed a pushing foul before heading the ball.
However, Busacca ignored the protests from Inter Milan and insisted that there was no foul and the goal was valid.
"Damn it!" Li Ang waved his hand in displeasure at the coaching bench. Barcelona scored a goal so quickly, which surprised him.
What annoyed him even more was that Barcelona's goal was suspected of being a foul, which made Leon very angry. He was worried that today's Swiss referee would favor the Barcelona people.
Although Inter Milan has a considerable lead in the score, if the 'twelfth man' creates conditions, a comeback is still possible with Barcelona's strength.
Li Ang cannot see the slow motion replay.
The replay of the goal on live TV showed that Yaya Toure did push Chivu before taking off. However, the action was not too big. The referee insisted that there was no foul, and you can't find anything too wrong.
.
"There is no big problem with the referee's decision." The neutral commentator said, "Of course, the home team was not taken care of and they have reason to be angry."
Barcelona's equalizer made Barcelona fans feel excited. When the score was zero to one, they were worried that the huge deficit would make the team lose their fighting spirit. Now this goal gives them a glimmer of hope: the team has not given up.
, they are still fighting, and there is still hope!
Li Ang shook his head unhappily. He stood up and walked to the sidelines, making a gesture to his players: Attack!
