Li Ang found that he had ignored the role of Carlos' excellent form in the game. Although Inter Milan was fighting with one less person, Carlos's super interception ability in the midfield and his seemingly tireless running made up for it to the greatest extent.
Inter Milan has a numerical disadvantage.
This also means that Inter Milan will have greater capital to try to attack.
The players on the Inter Milan field 'received' the signal from head coach Li Ang, and they became determined in attack.
The midfield determines the outcome of the game. Liverpool's offense has invested more troops in the offense. However, their current midfield configuration is strong in offense and weak in defense. It can even be said that the defense is weak to the extreme, without a real defense.
players, but they have to attack across the board.
As for Inter Milan, the tough style of Carlos, Muntari and Modric made Inter Milan begin to take the initiative in the midfield.
On Liverpool's side, although Benitez arranged for Lucas Reva to be a full-time defender, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot fight against three people alone, not to mention Lucas's original defensive ability and confrontation.
His ability can only be said to be average.
Inter Milan began to invest more in offense, while Liverpool had to fight tooth and nail to attack. In the last fifteen minutes of the game, the pace of the game suddenly accelerated, and both sides jointly presented a wonderful offensive drama for the fans.
***********
In the 81st minute, Inter Milan played a beautiful triangle in the frontcourt. With the help of his teammates' movements, David Silva successfully relied on his personal skills to break through the ribs of Liverpool's defense again, and then
A shot was taken from a small angle. Faced with the attacking goalkeeper Reina, Silva pursued the angle too much and unfortunately ended up hitting the side net. This made Silva very upset. He was hidden by the head coach today.
He stayed on the bench for half of the game. Silva's desire to fight is very strong, and the young Spanish boy has a strong desire to pursue goals.
Then Liverpool launched an attack. After receiving a pass from Xavi Alonso, Babel dribbled the ball along the wing. When faced with Evra's interception, Babel made an emergency stop, pulled the ball horizontally, and stepped into the space.
After that, he swept the football towards the goal.
Torres appeared at the front point, and he successfully blocked Zanetti behind him and forced a shot.
However, the shooting angle was very small, and Cesar was in a good position to block the football from the baseline.
Liverpool gets a corner kick.
Alonso took a tactical corner kick. Torres was not in the penalty area this time, but came out to respond. Then he pretended to pull the ball and turned around, but knocked the football with his heel to Pennant, who immediately kicked off the pass.
Crouch's header was relatively straight and was hit by Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar with a single punch. Chivu and Torres competed for the second spot. The football hit Torres' back and bounced up.
De and Muntari rushed to the ball's landing point together. The Liverpool captain fell to the ground during the fight with Muntari and fell right into the penalty area.
The Liverpool players immediately raised their arms, shouted loudly, and pointed to the penalty spot. They believed that Muntari fouled Gerrard and this should be a penalty kick.
Inter Milan's players also raised their hands, and their captain Zanetti slapped his right hand with his left hand and shouted in English, "Handball!"
Liverpool people complained that Muntari fouled Gerrard and they wanted a penalty kick.
Inter Milan people complained about the Liverpool captain's handball foul.
In the stands, Liverpool fans booed loudly, hoping that the referee would hear their voices and give Inter Milan a penalty kick.
***********
The whistle of the Belgian referee Debricle sounded and he called Muntari for a foul. At the same time, he pointed his finger at the penalty spot.
This penalty excited the Liverpool people. Their captain Gerrard jumped up from the ground and raised his arms vigorously. The other Liverpool players also shouted excitedly.
On Inter Milan's side, Muntari, who was still lying on the ground trying to delay the game, also got up from the ground. He waved his arms angrily, extremely dissatisfied with the referee's decision.
Li Ang was also angry on the sidelines. He shook his hands vigorously and kept chattering. His face was furious, or it would be an exaggeration to describe it as furious.
Assistant coach Pablo Banderas persuaded Li Ang immediately and stopped the spread of his anger in time. Even if Liverpool got a goal back, even if the Liverpool people made a comeback, this
For Inter Milan, who still have the second round of the game, it is nothing, but if their head coach is sent to the stands for rude words and is suspended, it will be the biggest threat to Inter Milan.
Hidden danger.
On the other side, Liverpool head coach Benitez hugged his assistant Herrera and seemed very excited. If Liverpool scores this penalty kick, then Liverpool will only be two goals behind. Although the remaining game time will not be
However, Liverpool people have rekindled the hope of a comeback: in Istanbul, at the venue of the Champions League final, Liverpool was able to score three goals in a row in the second half with a score of 0-3 at halftime.
This game really tempered Liverpool, and this team's fighting will is indeed relatively strong.
The Inter Milan players were furious and could not accept the penalty call. They surrounded the referee and protested angrily.
"Pull that kid back!" Li Ang suddenly shouted from the sidelines.
Then people saw Modric hugging Carlos and talking loudly in his ear. Just like that, Modric pulled Carlos out. Carlos looked extremely angry at the referee's decision. It should have been
He went to mark Gerrard, but he was restrained by Pennant, and Muntari went to fill his position.
Li Ang's face was livid with anger. On the one hand, he was very dissatisfied with the penalty kick, but the most angry thing was that he was angry with Carlos - Did you forget the yellow card on your body? At this time, you contradicted the referee.
Could the referee be impatient to be sent off?! Did he turn a deaf ear to what I said during the halftime break?!
Li Ang told the players during the halftime break that in today's game, the referee De Brickley from Belgium was very harsh on the visiting team, so they should be extra careful, especially not to try to provoke the majesty of the head coach.
However, what made Li Ang a little relieved was that the referee De Brickley seemed to be 'merciful' this time, and only gave Carlos a verbal warning and did not play any cards.
Banderas and Mihajlovic both breathed a sigh of relief. If Carlos was also sent off due to a yellow card, two yellows turned into one red, then Inter Milan would probably face a huge crisis in this game.
Stressed and tested.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Liverpool captain Gerrard won a penalty kick for Liverpool.
