When Materazzi was competing for a header, he collided with Villarreal captain Alvarez. His brow bone hit the latter's forehead, causing his brow bone to crack.
The referee stopped the celebrations of the Inter Milan people and asked Materazzi to leave the field for treatment and change his jersey. According to regulations, players are not allowed to wear blood-stained jerseys to play.
The other players who had originally planned to come over to celebrate together noticed that Materazzi was bleeding, and they were all shocked by this warrior, a true warrior!
Materazzi went to the sidelines to receive treatment to stop the bleeding.
Li Ang went over to ask with concern, but Materazzi said calmly that it was okay. He had this minor injury and he could continue to play.
Li Ang gave a thumbs up to Materazzi. What head coach wouldn't like such a strong player?!
It’s not about encouraging players to play with injuries, it’s about this kind of spirit!
And, to be honest, this kind of hard injury is a trivial matter for players, as they are afraid of soft injuries such as strains.
The team doctor stopped Materazzi's bleeding, applied tape, and then wrapped a bandage around his head. He also changed to a brand new jersey.
When Materazzi returned to the court with a bandage, all the Inter Milan fans in the San Siro stadium stood up and applauded, cheering for Materazzi's blood-stained battlefield!
Inter Milan players also gave Materazzi a thumbs up and hugged him!
***********
Villarreal's players looked at this scene with complicated expressions. From the beginning of the game, they could feel the bravery of this team, or it can be said that they could feel the hunger of the Inter Milan people for victory.
, this hunger and thirst surprised them, and now, it makes them afraid!
The Villarreal people cannot understand the Inter Milan people's desire for victory and championships. Villarreal is a dark horse. It is already a miracle that they can reach the quarterfinals, although every step forward they make history.
, However, the Villarreal people’s desire for progress cannot be compared with Inter Milan!
Although Inter Milan is a giant in Serie A, it has not won the Serie A championship for sixteen years. As for the UEFA Champions League championship? The last time they stood on top of Europe was the 'Great Inter Milan' in the 1950s and 1960s.
'It's a matter of time!
Therefore, this wealthy family is extremely hungry!
Extremely hungry for victory and championships!
However, Inter Milan has been sluggish before, like Adou who cannot be helped. Both the players and the club feel a little helpless!
But, Li Ang is here!
This magical Chinese head coach seemed to have injected magical energy into the Nerazzurri. They began to wake up, cheer up, and rise!
The league championship is in sight!
It not only cheers up Inter Milan, but also changes their mental outlook like never before!
They are proud of their performance!
At the same time, I also feel that I have the capital to compete for more honors!
This is the current situation of this Inter Milan team!
In fact, to a certain extent, Li Ang's coaching of such a wealthy team, although it has lost its championship status for many years, is the most suitable for him personally and for Inter Milan!
***********
Pellegrini looked serious, his team was completely passive, and finally lost the ball.
He knew something had to change!
However, Pellegrini has nothing to do now. He can only pray not to concede any more goals in the first half. He needs the fifteen minutes of halftime, and his players also need those fifteen minutes.
Take a break to catch your breath!
Materazzi's goal was the only goal in the first half.
In the next ten minutes of the game, Inter Milan continued to control the rhythm of the game. They did not slack off and relax just because they took the lead, but continued to put pressure on Villarreal!
This is what Li Ang strictly requires during the season. This game is different from other games and will definitely not give the Villarreal people any breathing space!
Therefore, although no more goals were conceded, Villarreal still played extremely passively and was extremely uncomfortable!
When referee Merkel blew the whistle to end the first half, Villarreal had zero shots in the entire first half!
This is a shocking statistic!
You know, Villarreal's performance this season has been surprising both in La Liga and the Champions League. Although Pellegrini's team is not a goal scorer who plays offensive football, on the field
They played in an orderly manner and had never been so passive as in today's game. Even after forty-five minutes, they didn't even have a shot!
"Although the score was only 1-0! However, the entire first half of the game was extremely exciting!" Ferrari exclaimed with admiration. "Inter Milan seems to be well prepared for this game! Coach Li Ang's tactics completely contained Villa.
Real, the Spanish team was restricted from the beginning of the game and could only follow the rhythm of Inter Milan. Their midfielder Riquelme was also restricted in the first half of the game and did not gain even a single threat.
Chance in the Inter Milan goal!”
When Villarreal head coach Pellegrini left the coaching bench and returned to the players' locker room, he glanced at Leon and he was extremely shocked!
When they met again less than a year later, Li Ang's team was even more difficult to deal with. It can be said that they restricted his team perfectly!
When Li Ang coached Sporting Gijon, although Villarreal also lost to Sporting Gijon, Villarreal at least had a chance to win. However, now, if the game starts from the first half
Look, Villarreal has no chance of winning in this game!
How did this person become so powerful in less than a year?!
***********
Perhaps, the words of the Spanish commentator of this game can answer Pellegrini's question.
"After leaving the Spanish League, Coach Liang adapted to Serie A very quickly." D'Agostino said, "He is more mature now. This is an amazing improvement. The skills of Spanish football and the defense of Italian football
, was perfectly integrated by him, and the individual abilities of Inter Milan's players are now better than those of Sporting Gijon. Under such circumstances, Coach Li Ang's team is even more terrifying!"
"And tactics! Coach Li Ang's tactics are even better now. Pellegrini is known as the new tactician of the Spanish League. However, his team was completely restricted by Inter Milan today. Li's tactics today,
Very successful! Very successful! It is very difficult for Villarreal to come back in the second half of the game. Now it depends on whether Pellegrini can do anything..."
