Three days after the game against Roma, Inter Milan ushered in the fourth matchday of the Champions League group stage against Porto.
When the draw results for this group came out, Li Ang said that Inter Milan got a good draw, which caused an uproar. Glasgow Rangers head coach McLeish and Porto head coach Adrian Se were very dissatisfied with this, thinking that Li Ang was too
Too arrogant.
However, after three rounds of the group stage, the development of this group is just as Li Ang said, Inter Milan is about to qualify, and it is easy without breaking a sweat.
Inter Milan won all three games in the group stage and accumulated 9 points.
As for Glasgow Rangers, on the first match day of the group stage, they won Porto 3-2 at home. On the second match day, they lost to Li Ang's Inter Milan. Then in the last round, they were at home to Artmedia, which was recognized as a weakling.
It's a draw, now Rangers have 4 points.
Porto, recognized as the strongest team in this group besides Inter Milan, lost to Glasgow Rangers away from home in the first round of the group stage. Then in the second round of the group stage, Porto suffered a big upset, winning 2-3 at home.
Lost to Artmedia, and then in the last round, they were beaten three times at home by Leon's Inter Milan. After three rounds of the group stage, Porto, the 2004 European Champions Cup champion, actually lost all three games and did not score a single point!
Artmedia, the Slovak champion team, is recognized as a weak team. In addition to losing to Inter Milan, it also had a draw and a win against Glasgow Rangers and Porto, and scored four points, which is surprising.
The Slovak media are proud of Artmedia's performance. In Slovakia, the entire Artmedia team has become national heroes! Whether it is the veteran Scottish Premier League giant Glasgow Rangers or the 2004 European Champions Cup champion Porto, they all
It is a giant team that Artmedia can't match. Now, Artmedia faces them and wins one draw and one win. This is an achievement that makes the whole country proud!
***********
In this case, before the fourth match day of this round with Porto, the current points situation of Group H of the UEFA Champions League in the 2005/2006 season is:
Inter Milan won all three games and accumulated 9 points, ranking first in the group.
Glasgow Rangers and Artmedia both have one win, one draw and one loss, and have 4 points. However, the Scottish giants have an advantage in goal difference and rank second in the group, while Artmedia ranks third in the group.
Porto, the former European champions, lost all three games and ranked last.
This means that Inter Milan, which has won three games and scored nine points, as long as it wins the game against Porto, regardless of the result of the game between Artmedia and Glasgow Rangers, Inter Milan will win.
Milan will qualify from the group in advance, and the most ideal result is that if Glasgow Rangers and Atmedia draw, Inter Milan will not only qualify from the group two rounds in advance, but will also be able to secure the top spot in the group in advance.
For the Portuguese Super League giant Porto, this game is a life and death battle. They must win in order to retain the hope of qualifying from the group.
Before the game, Porto head coach Adrianse had a solemn expression. He said that his team has only one goal for their trip to Milan, and that is to win!
"We must win! This is the way we want to go! Inter Milan is very strong, but they have to face Porto who are united and must win the game! So, in this game, I have great confidence in my players!
"
Li Ang saw this interview scene on the news, saw the tragic face of Porto's head coach, and listened to Adriance's constant self-comfort. He read one word from Adriance's expression: anxiety!
***********
"In this game, we finally scored early. It only takes one goal to make the opponent anxious." Li Ang said in the home team's locker room at San Siro.
Adrianse's team has a poor record now and may be dismissed at any time. The Dutchman is not having a good time now. Facing Inter Milan, the strongest team in the group stage, and conceding an early goal, Adrianse is likely to be in chaos.
In this game, Inter Milan firmly controlled the rhythm of the game from the beginning.
In the 21st minute, Modric scored with a wonderful long-range shot, and the Meazza stadium burst into thunderous cheers.
Li Ang glanced at the visiting team's coaching bench. Adriance was standing on the sidelines, pacing anxiously, constantly shouting at the players on the court. The gestures he made were offensive gestures. Porto must win this game, even though
He knew that it would be risky to press out, but Adrianse had no choice but to fight.
Li Ang shrugged at Banderas, "If we score another goal in the first half, this game will be basically fine."
In last weekend's game against Roma, Modric got a rest. Today, the Croatian youngster started the game today and performed actively. Whether he was organizing the offense or directly threatening Porto's goal, he did a great job.
Especially in terms of organizing offense, after studying with Albertini for a season, Modric has improved a lot and can now see the shadow of a top midfielder.
The Italian media were also full of praise for Modric's previous performance. "Gazzetta dello Sport" reporter Di Gennaro compared Modric with AC Milan's midfielder Pirlo. He believed that Modric has become a great player in the Italian game.
The potential of the best midfielder, Modric is younger. Although youth means lack of experience, Modric's impact allows people to see that he has a future worth looking forward to.
***********
Porto's adventurous pressure meant that their defense was even more empty, which gave Inter Milan the opportunity to seize the opportunity.
This was indeed the case. In the subsequent games, Inter Milan made good use of the space after Porto pressed out.
Before the end of the first half, Modric sent a through ball, and Ronaldo succeeded in countering offside. The 'alien' dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he pedaled his bicycle continuously, making the goalkeeper stagger and embarrassed.
fell to the ground, and then, Inter Milan's No. 9 easily pushed the shot into the empty goal!
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaal!"
"So beautiful! Ronaldo astonishes us now! In fact, since the game against Juventus, he seems to have become rejuvenated all of a sudden!"
After scoring the goal, Ronaldo ran happily, wagging his fingers and showing his big teeth.
Li Ang also applauded on the coaching bench and gave Ronaldo a thumbs up. He had to admit that as a head coach, it was a pleasure to see Ronaldo as his own player and to see him scoring goals so easily and freely.
