Benitez frowned. He certainly knew how difficult it would be for Liverpool to make a comeback.
Benitez had prepared a lot for this game before the game and considered a lot. He had done enough homework on the tactical response and related analysis of this game on his laptop. However, Benitez had to do some research.
Frustrated, he admits something: It is very, very difficult for his Liverpool to come back in this game!
What Benitez expects is that when Li Ang thinks that the overall situation has been decided, he underestimates the opponent in the second round and will make a large rotation, and Inter Milan's players will also underestimate the opponent in the game. In this case, he
If Liverpool can suppress Inter Milan from the start and score quickly, catching Inter Milan off guard, then continue their efforts and strive to lead Inter Milan 2-0 or even 3-0 in the first half.
, In this case, even if Li Ang 'reacts' in the second half of the game and Inter Milan wants to make adjustments, no one will be afraid of Liverpool who have already gone crazy!
However, Benitez was helpless to discover that Li Ang did rotate. However, it has to be said that Li Ang's Inter Milan is different from his Liverpool. The rotation of the main lineup and the substitute lineup is going very well. The team
The thickness of the lineup is also very suitable. Inter Milan's strength has not been greatly affected by the rotation.
And Inter Milan's players did not make the mistake of underestimating the opponent that he expected.
Watching Inter Milan's tidal offensive, Benitez felt bitter in his mouth...
***********
Under Inter Milan's continuous crazy attacks, Liverpool's not too tenacious defense finally showed signs of collapse.
In the 31st minute of the game, Inter Milan shot continuously. After Liverpool goalkeeper Reina finally hugged Balotelli's shot, he chose to throw the ball vigorously to launch a quick counterattack.
Mascherano passed the ball to Alonso. At the same time, Torres and Babel advanced at high speed, but Liverpool's quick counterattack did not start. Alonso passed the ball to Babel, who stopped the ball.
During the fight, Muntali came up and entangled him. During the struggle, Muntali kicked the ball and knocked the football away.
Later, Evra, who came over to cover, passed the ball to Carlos, who directly played the ball to Modric.
Modric dribbles the ball forward.
Adriano ran diagonally while observing Modric's dribbling. This was a signal for Modric to pass the ball to him. Mascherano and Skrtel paid close attention to Adriano's movements. This
The Brazilian center is too strong. This is a player who can change the score on his own without paying attention. They don't dare to relax at all. What's more, when Benitez was deploying tactical tasks before the game, he was especially interested in Adria.
Norio has become Inter Milan's number one dangerous man, requiring the defense to be more vigilant. As long as Adriano starts, be careful of his impact and long-range shots!
Adriano's movement pulled Liverpool's midfield defense, and also pulled Liverpool's back line. Liverpool's defensive focus subconsciously tilted towards Adriano's side.
***********
Modric glanced at Adriano, who was running and indicating with his eyes that he wanted the ball, but sent the ball directly to the completely opposite direction of his running direction: David Silva!
David Silva came in at high speed from the wing, and Modric's pass was very good, just in front of his running direction. This can give full play to his dexterity and speed advantages!
Carragher rushed forward.
He estimated the distance between himself and the football and between Silva and the football, and then made a decisive decision: sliding tackle!
Silva saw Carragher leaning back and immediately judged the opponent's intention!
He accelerated suddenly, caught up with the football, poked it with his toes, and then quickly took off himself!
"Breakthrough! Beautiful! Very neat!" the commentator shouted. Such a breakthrough has no technical content, but it is very clever and requires a very keen reaction from the players.
After Silva poked the football out, he also took off and just avoided Carragher's sliding tackle. Then after he landed, he chased the football.
***********
"Inter Milan's opportunity! Silva! He cut into the penalty area, one-on-one!"
Skrtel quickly dropped Adriano and rushed towards Silva, only to see Silva push the arch of his foot and the football was passed!
Adriano had his back to the goal. He had no intention of stopping the ball. Instead, he knocked his heel. Then people saw Balotelli's figure. The young Inter Milan star shot low!
The football rolled rapidly. Before Liverpool goalkeeper Reina collapsed completely, the football had already rolled into the net behind him!
"Gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaal!"
"Inter Milan's offense is very exciting, Modric's distribution, Adriano's movement, Silva brings his skills, speed and agility to the extreme, Adriano's heel pass, Balot
A great shot!”
"A strike of genius! Balotelli! This is his first Champions League game and he scored! This is really the best Champions League debut! Wait..." Commentator Fela
Li suddenly shouted, "Maybe we are witnessing the birth of a new record!"
"Yes, a new record! Another young man who has written his name into history in the century-old history of Inter Milan!" Rossi shouted, "Mario Balotelli, he made his Champions League debut in
Xiuzhong scored his first Champions League goal! This is a memorable moment, Balotelli is only 17 years and 211 days old now! He has become Inter Milan's latest second-youngest Champions League goal record!"
"Yes!" Ferrari also shouted excitedly. It was exciting to witness the birth of such a record. He shouted, "Seventeen years and two hundred and eleven days! Balotelli broke the previous record.
The Champions League scoring record for Inter Milan young players is held by Nigerian star Martins at the age of 18 years and 145 days."
***********
Why can Balotelli be called the second youngest UEFA Champions League goal record holder?!
"Inter Milan's youngest player scoring record is created by Balotelli's teammate, Argentine player Sergio Aguero, who scored in his first season (2005/2006 season) when he was brought to Inter Milan by Li Ang.
Aguero, who scored his first goal in the Champions League, was only 17 years and 119 days old."
The camera showed a close-up of Balotelli, then to Aguero on the bench of Inter Milan, and finally to their head coach Li Ang on the coaching bench of Inter Milan.
"Whether it's Aguero or Balotelli, or the equally young Mata and Silva, they all have to thank Lee. This is a truly legendary coach, even though he is also so young!" The commentator said
The member said with emotion.
Li Ang sat on the coaching bench. After a brief applause, he turned his head and said something to his assistant, with a faint smile on his face...
A confident yet calm smile: everything is under control!
At this time, the atmosphere of the Meazza Stadium was ignited by this goal, and the stands were filled with blue-black torrents, ebbing and flowing, and cheering like thunder...
On the court, Balotelli ran to the corner flag point, put one foot on the ground, raised the other foot, used the corner flagpole as a tree, and made a celebrating gesture like a puppy peeing.
Finally, he shrugged his waist and abdomen and shook it three times in a row, as if to shake off the juice from the bird's head...
The director immediately showed the camera to the Inter Milan coaching bench. Their head coach, Mr. Li Ang, looked confused...
