Villarreal's players were left gasping for breath.
The game only lasted thirty minutes, but it felt like they had been playing for at least an hour.
The score on the field was still zero to zero, but the game was not as silent as the score showed.
The Meazza stadium was filled with singing and cheering!
From the first minute of the game, Inter Milan was like a sports car with full power, the engine roared.
The game entered a fast pace from the beginning, which caught Villarreal off guard.
According to their assumptions, shouldn't the two sides test each other out at the beginning? You know this is the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, shouldn't the team be more cautious?!
However, Inter Milan is not like that!
They were like wild beasts that had been hungry for three days, opening their big mouths and putting constant pressure on Villarreal, vowing to take a bite of meat!
***********
The three midfielders of Senna, Hosco, Solin and Villarreal became the busiest people. The three of them were busy trying to build the team's most important line of defense in the midfield to stop the Inter Milan people.
attack!
Their strong midfielder is the guarantee of Villarreal's outstanding performance this season!
However, Senna and other players found that this game was too hard. Mata, Aguero, Ronaldo, and Adriano took turns attacking each other, leaving them with only the ability to parry and no ability to fight back!
That's right, Aguero also started today!
Today, Liang unexpectedly arranged for Aguero to play as a left winger, with Mata on the left and right, taking turns attacking both sides of Villarreal!
These two, plus Ronaldo and Adriano, are Inter Milan's four major attackers!
Moreover, Li Ang's tactics of requiring the team to enter a fast pace and speed up from the beginning of the game were fully implemented by the players.
Villarreal was wanted from the very beginning, but was driven off track by Inter Milan's pace.
"Although there is no goal yet, this is the most beautiful thirty-minute game Inter Milan has played this season!" Ferrari shouted, "They are like beasts that never tire, constantly attacking and biting each other.
Liarreal people!”
***********
Villarreal head coach Pellegrini shouted loudly from the sidelines to direct the team.
He asked Villarreal to quickly hand the football to Riquelme once they got the ball, and let the Argentinian take the ball and control it to slow down the pace of the game!
Pellegrini saw through Li Ang's tactics. In fact, Li Ang's tactics were very straightforward and it was not difficult to guess: Use speed to bring down Villarreal!
Although I have seen through Li Ang's tactical intentions, it is very difficult to find a practical and effective solution!
The only way Pellegrini can think of now is to pin his hopes on Riquelme and let Villarreal's midfielder control the ball to slow down the pace of the game as much as possible!
Aguero got the ball on the right, and he kept making sudden stops and accelerations, which made Villarreal's left back Abarena very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Aguero pulled the ball laterally, and then a ground ball was passed from Aballena's feet.
Adriano held Gonzalo, squeezed the Argentine defender away, turned around forcefully, and fired a cold shot!
Alvarez, the old captain of Villarreal, reacted half a beat too late and stretched his legs to block the ball. He only touched the football slightly, but instead caused the ball to change direction and form a refraction!
Fortunately, Villarreal goalkeeper Barbosa reacted quickly and knocked the football off the crossbar with one palm!
***********
Corner kick!
"This is Inter Milan's fifth corner kick since the start of the game!"
"This is Inter Milan's opportunity! Villarreal's ability to defend against high-altitude balls is slightly worse!"
The commentator also noticed that when Inter Milan had several set-piece opportunities, Villarreal's penalty area was full of people. This Spanish dark horse team was having a hard time defending high-altitude balls!
Mata stood at the corner kick.
Samuel ran into the penalty area, Materazzi, who started today, also ran into the penalty area, and Adriano, three high points were in Villarreal's penalty area, which gave Villarreal
The Yaers brought great pressure!
Mata stood in front of the football and he raised three fingers!
As referee Merkel blew the whistle, Mata pocketed the football into the penalty area.
At the same time, there was chaos in the penalty area as Materazzi and others ran!
Adriano rushed to the forward point, he squeezed Gonzalo away, and then hit the football!
***********
This is a header ferry!
The football was pushed towards the center by Adriano!
Villarreal goalkeeper Barbosa took a risk and wanted to knock the football out with one punch!
However, the goalkeeper's shortcomings in not being good at attacking were finally exposed. He punched out but did not touch the football!
Samuel jumped up and almost touched the football with Barbosa's fist!
Samuel touched the football to the back post!
Materazzi has jumped up, and what he has to do now is to get ahead of the Villarreal defender and push the football into the small half-empty goal!
The heads of Materazzi and Alvarez, the old captain of Villarreal, collided in the air, and both men groaned at the same time.
***********
What a great Materazzi!
The Italian defender didn't blink an eyelid, as if his head was a rock, as if he had completely lost his pain-sensing nerves and could not feel pain at all!
Then, shake your head vigorously!
After the football was hit hard by him, it almost scraped the lower edge of the crossbar and flew into the net!
"Goooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!"
"Materazzi! Materazzi! Inter Milan attacked Villarreal for more than half an hour and finally knocked on Villarreal's goal!"
"One to zero! Inter Milan takes the lead!"
After Materazzi pushed the football into the goal, he rushed out of Villarreal's penalty area, ran all the way, and finally rushed to the south stand of Meazza Stadium, beating his chest hard!
Look up to the sky and scream!
"Oh God!" Ferrari exclaimed!
Only then did people see that half of Materazzi's face was covered in blood!
Blood slid down the Italian tough guy's cheek!
slide!
Drip!
There are spots of blood starting to appear on the turf!
***********
The Inter Milan fans in the stands were stunned at first, and then everyone felt the blood in their chests burning, and everyone felt a voice shouting in their hearts!
Ahhhhh!
Materazzi didn't seem to notice that he was bleeding. He lowered his head, kissed the team emblem on the jersey, and then suddenly raised his arms!
