During the halftime break, Li Ang praised the entire team.
Although Inter Milan only scored two goals in the first half of the game, which was not a big score, the whole team performed very well and the rhythm of the entire game was controlled by Inter Milan.
After all, Porto is a Portuguese Super League club. Although this team's strength has dropped a notch compared with the 2004 European Champions Cup winning team, after all, the opponent is a strong team with a last stand. Inter Milan can not win under such circumstances.
Well done to the Porto people for giving them any chance!
Not long after the second half of the game started, Modric was injured in a fight.
Although the team doctor checked and found that there was nothing serious, Modric could continue to play.
However, Li Ang replaced the Croatian teenager just to be on the safe side.
He was replaced by Marchisio.
This is Marchisio's first chance to play in the Champions League this season.
The task given by Li Ang to Marchisio is very direct, which is to help the team sort out the midfield.
Throughout the first half of the game, when Marchisio was sitting and unable to play, Li Ang told Marchisio to watch Modric play and use his brain to imagine what he should do on the court.
Of course he didn't know that Modric would be injured in the second half of the game, but Li Ang originally planned to give Marchisio a chance in this game, but Modric was injured, which gave Marchisio a chance to play in advance.
*************
Seeing that Modric, who performed extremely well in the first half, was injured and was replaced, Adriance felt as if he had been beaten to death and his face was flushed. He thought this was a good sign and this was a turning point in the game.
His chance for Porto came.
In the 69th minute of the game, Inter Milan played smooth passing cooperation in the frontcourt.
Marchisio is in possession of the ball.
Ronaldo ran diagonally, seemingly to ask Marchisio to pass the ball to him, which attracted the attention of the Porto people. The Brazilian star's current state is simply terrifying.
Ronaldo's movement stretched Porto's defense.
Marchisio glanced at Ronaldo, who suddenly accelerated his movement, but directly sent the ball to the left, which was completely opposite to the direction of his running direction - Juan Mata's side.
"Nice pass!" Ferrari shouted.
Mata made a beautiful sprint with the ball, and Ronaldo's forward movement attracted the attention of Porto's defense. Now there is no one on his side to defend.
"Inter Milan's opportunity! Mata continues to dribble! He cuts inside! He cuts to the center and into the penalty area!"
One of Porto's defenders quickly dropped Adriano, another forward in the penalty area, and ran up to cover the ball, but Matadi suddenly stopped and smashed the ball in a different direction.
"pretty!"
After passing the defender, Mata raised his foot and made a gesture of volleying!
Porto's goalkeeper stood ready, and the defender on the other side who was attracted by Ronaldo also rushed over.
Mata's left foot made contact with the football, but it was not a shot!
With a flick of his ankle, he took the football out!
This is for Ronaldo!
*************
Ronaldo faced the flying football. He raised his right foot and looked like he was about to volley!
"Stop him!" A defender rushed over, intending to block Ronaldo's shot with his body.
The Brazilian star raised his right foot, but instead of hitting it on the football, he rubbed it with the instep of his outside foot!
The football drew an arc again, this time flying towards the center!
At the top of the restricted area!
Now, everyone is attracted to the restricted area, which is empty!
Then, people saw Marchisio rushing up, stopping the ball with his chest, and then volleying directly!
The football sticks to the turf, speeding towards the goal.
Porto's goalkeeper was completely confused by the series of passes from Inter Milan. By the time he realized that Marchisio's last move was the last move and thought of making a save, his reaction was already slow. He watched the football helplessly.
Passed by the left side of his body and flew into the net behind him!
*************
"Goooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaal!"
"Wonderful cooperation! Beautiful goal! The Inter Milan people made the Porto people completely dizzy!"
"Marchisio! This is his first Champions League game for Inter Milan, and he scored. This is also the first goal this young man has scored for Inter Milan!" Ferrari shouted
, "The captain of the Juventus youth team that Li Ang hired from Turin performed well. He made everyone shine!"
Marchisio was extremely excited after scoring. This was his first goal in the Champions League and his first goal in the first team. He was so excited.
He rushed directly to the coaching bench and gave Li Ang a strong hug. Li Ang brought him from Turin to Milan and fulfilled his promise when signing the contract, giving him a chance to play. This is a great opportunity for a young man.
Very valuable trust and promotion.
"Well done! Claudio!"
Other players chased him to the sidelines, patted him on the head and shoulders, and congratulated him on the goal.
Li Ang pushed Marchisio to the players, allowing the excited boy to accept the ravages of his teammates.
He returned to the coaching bench and sat down. He did not look at the visiting team's coaching bench. After this goal, Adriance and his Porto were finished. The Porto people who were fighting against the odds had their morale greatly affected because of this conceded goal.
Such a blow would no longer pose any threat to Inter Milan.
*************
In the end, Inter Milan defeated the Portuguese Super League giant Porto relatively easily at home.
While gaining the right to qualify in the group in advance, it also gave Porto four consecutive losses in the group stage. This team basically has no chance of qualifying in the group. Even the chance of being relegated to the Europa League for the third place in the group will change.
It must be vague.
After the full-time whistle blew, the Meazza Stadium burst into cheers. The team qualified for the group stage ahead of schedule. This made Inter Milan fans very excited and proud. They are among the Italian teams participating in this season's UEFA Champions League.
The first team to qualify from the group early.
The good news came two minutes later, and even louder cheers erupted from the Meazza stands.
In another game, the Slovak League champion team Artmedia equalized the score twice after falling behind twice, and finally tied with Glasgow Rangers 2-2 at home.
In this case, after this round of group matches, Glasgow Rangers and Artmedia both have five points!
Inter Milan won all four games and scored 12 points. With two rounds left in the group stage, they not only won the right to qualify in the group in advance, but also successfully secured the top spot in the group in advance!
