Chapter 119 Second Half

Under the dark night, the huge and bright Stade de France is like the jewel in the crown of the fashionable capital of Paris, looking particularly dazzling.

The first half of the game is over. Inter Milan scored goals in the first half from Mata and Ronaldo, temporarily leading Barcelona 2-0.

Flags are flying in the stadium stands.

The fans of Inter Milan are singing excitedly. Their team leads by two goals at halftime, and the balance of victory has tilted towards the Nerazzurri.

"Coach Li Ang's tactics were appropriate, and Inter Milan showed efficiency. After their probing in the opening stage, they suddenly exerted force. Barcelona seemed to be unprepared for this!"

"The Spanish youngster Mata performed well. This 18-year-old youngster has made rapid progress this season!"

"Ronaldo's first Champions League final goal! Now he and the team he plays for seem to be closer to the Big Ear Cup! They are extremely close to standing on top of Europe!"

"Barcelona must make changes! Rijkaard's team is now in trouble and they must strengthen their offense in the second half!"

"Ronaldinho's performance in the first half of the game was unsatisfactory. As Barcelona's top star, he was restricted by Carlos. When Barcelona is in the most difficult time, he needs to step up!"

"Eto'o looked a little lonely in the first half! He needs more support, and his speed also needs room to sprint!"

"Judging from the first half of the game, Rijkaard was at a disadvantage in this direct confrontation with Li Ang!"

The commentator is commenting on the first half of the game.

Inter Milan won praise, while Barcelona received a lot of criticism.

***********

In the north dressing room of the Stade de France.

Barcelona head coach Rijkaard looked solemn and was making final tactical mobilization of his players.

"Ronaldo! You must be active! The team needs you to tear apart Inter Milan's defense!" Rijkaard said to Ronaldinho.

The Brazilian superstar's expression was serious, and he nodded to show that he understood.

"Edmilson, get closer to Ronaldo and share his pressure!" Rijkaard continued.

This is for Edmilson to confront Carlos in an attempt to liberate Ronaldinho.

However, this will inevitably result in defensive restrictions on other Inter Milan offensive players, which will create hidden dangers for the defense. This is a gambling tactical adjustment, but at this moment, with two goals behind, Barcelona seems to

There is no choice.

Ronaldinho frowned. The coach's words meant that he didn't believe that he could deal with Carlos alone. However, he didn't say anything in the end.

Ronaldinho is Barcelona's number one star. Rijkaard believes that as long as Ronaldinho returns to form and becomes active, Barcelona's offense will improve. Although the two-goal disadvantage is difficult,

However, it is not an insurmountable chasm!

Finally, Rijkaard turned his attention to Iniesta and asked Iniesta to warm up and be ready to play as soon as the second half started.

Ten minutes into the second half, if Barcelona still cannot score to narrow the score gap, Rijkaard will have to take a risk and replace one of the double midfielders Edmilson and Van Bommel with Ines.

Tower, launching an even more desperate attack.

***********

The atmosphere on Barcelona's side was a bit solemn, but on Inter Milan's side, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

The score of 2-0 lead gave the Inter Milan players confidence.

After a season of running-in, Inter Milan's defense has become very good, and it is one of the three teams in Serie A that has conceded the fewest goals.

"As long as we don't make mistakes, Barcelona won't be able to get back our two-goal lead!" Li Ang said with confidence.

He is not blindly confident, he has confidence in his team and players.

Hearing what the head coach said, the Inter Milan players also had confident smiles on their faces, and they also agreed with the head coach's words.

"However, this does not mean that we should be conservative or that we will not attack." Li Ang said, "A score of two to zero is not safe. In the last Champions League final, AC Milan led by three goals.

, was reversed by Liverpool, that game reminded us that we can be confident and believe that victory belongs to us, but we must not be arrogant and relaxed!"

Hearing what Li Ang said and looking at his serious expression, the players' faces changed and they were all alert in their hearts.

Li Ang saw the expressions and reactions of the players and nodded secretly. There was a counterexample from AC Milan, his brother from the same city. The players of Inter Milan felt deeply, and there were some words that he didn't need to waste any time on.

***********

The second half of the game begins.

Li Ang was sitting on the coaching bench, his facial expression was relatively relaxed.

In the original history, in the Champions League final between Barcelona and Arsenal, Arsenal fought with ten men and lost 1-2.

Inter Milan now has a two-goal lead, which is a very big deviation from the historical trajectory. Li Ang's hanging heart has finally settled. He has been worried that an Inter Milan player will receive a red card.

It seems that the situation of fighting alone will never happen.

Ronaldinho was getting the ball, and Carlos came up to interfere with him.

Ronaldinho didn't get involved with Carlos this time. He passed the ball and Giuly took the ball.

Ronaldinho ran forward, and Carlos was about to follow, but was entangled by Edmilson.

At this moment, Giuly sent a through ball.

"Fill up!" Carlos shouted.

Barcelona (4-3-3): 1-Valdes/23-Oleg, 4-Marcos, 5-Puyol, 12-Van Bronckhorst/20-Deco, 15-Edmir

Sen, 17-Van Bommel/8-Giuly, 9-Otto'o, 10-Ronaldinho.

Modric immediately went up to defend Ronaldinho!

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Swing the cow's tail!" the commentator shouted.

In the stands of the Stade de France, Barcelona fans burst into loud cheers.

After receiving the ball, Ronaldinho used his famous "cow tail flick" action to pass Modric beautifully.

"Empty!" shouted Italian commentator Ferrari.

As Modric's defense suddenly lost ground, now, there was a short, small gap in front of Ronaldinho!

This gap is not big, but for a player of Ronaldinho's level, it is enough for him to create opportunities!

Before Inter Milan's defense had completed the containment, Ronaldinho raised his right foot...
