"Vulnerable? No, Real Madrid still has the power to resist." Amidst the shouts of thousands of fans supporting Inter Milan and Dick, Dick did not show too much excitement, although he was leading by two goals in the away game.
It is a very, very big advantage, but taking such an early lead may not be a good thing. Real Madrid will abandon all worries in the future, and Carlo will probably treat this game in a desperate state.
Sure enough, while the Inter Milan players were celebrating crazily, Carlo used up two substitutions in a row!
After using up one substitution place due to Woodgate's injury, these were Real Madrid's last two substitution places. Being able to make such a decision at this time, Carlo was not as incompetent as later generations judged him to be.
Baptista came on and replaced Gravesson, who was driven crazy by Inter Milan's players. Captain Raul, who was on the bench because he had just recovered from injury, came on and replaced the running back.
Robinho, who is not active at all, made these two substitutions with good timing and choice.
Gravesen is now mentally unbalanced on the court. If Baptista replaces him, the task of organizing from behind will be handed over to Guti. Although his defensive ability is average, there is more Baptista in the midfield.
, his running ability and offensive and defensive abilities have also been greatly increased. As for Robinho, when he needs to work hard now, a young man who is lazy and unwilling to run on the court is really a trap. In order not to affect the performance of his teammates,
Due to morale, we could only choose to take him off the field at this time.
Robinho came off the field unwillingly. He felt that he was substituted at this time when he should have performed. The coach was unfair to him. Graveson left the field dejected. This game was so bad for him.
I don’t even know what I’m playing for…
Gravesen's poor state is due to Inter Milan's deliberate pressing, and Robinho... this is really his own problem...
But no matter what, after these two disharmonious factors ended, Real Madrid finally became a whole. They didn't have any distracting thoughts at this time. They fell behind by two goals in the first round at home. This was already a desperate situation.
It's time, if we don't work hard and go to the away game with two goals behind, it will basically be a dead end!
Real Madrid, who had unified their thinking, began to show their strong offensive ability in the next game. In front of Inter Milan, who had set up a defensive posture, they bravely continued to launch attacks!
Guti organized at the back, Beckham and Baptista used running to support the midfielder, Zidane controlled the rhythm in the frontcourt, plus the two full-backs advanced and Raul Ronaldo in the penalty area
With interspersed runs inside, Real Madrid used their most powerful offensive capabilities and began to attack Inter Milan's defense!
Although Inter Milan conceded a lot of goals last season, they did a lot better defensively this season, and while maintaining their offensive firepower, their defense improved a lot - this is almost a miracle.
!
And when they go all out to defend, their defensive ability is no worse than any other team. The defense line composed of the four veterans already cooperates quite well, plus four midfielders who can run and defend, so
With such a defensive formation, any top team will be beaten to a bloody head!
But Real Madrid deserves to be Real Madrid. Although they are no longer at their peak, their offense is still extremely powerful!
Beckham's cross, Ronaldo's connection, Raul's grab, Baptista's forward... plus Zidane and Guti's go-between, they are constantly creating opportunities!
Inter Milan resisted for a full twenty minutes. During these twenty minutes, they had no chance to counterattack. Unfortunately, Adriano's volley in the penalty area and Stankovic's wonderful long-range shot were bravely saved by Casillas.
Out, Real Madrid's goalkeeper maintained Real Madrid's last spark. Finally, in the 70th minute, Roberto Carlos used his speed to break through Cordoba's defense on the wing. Raul was still under the pressure of Cannavaro.
After hooking the ball in the penalty area, he passed the ball again. Ronaldo, who followed up, got rid of Materazzi's guard and shot five meters in front of the goal and broke the net!
Real Madrid gets a point back!
The cheers in the stands were like a landslide and a tsunami. Raul rushed into the goal, picked up the ball, and then ran back to his half side by side with Ronaldo!
Dick frowned. At this time, Real Madrid's momentum had fully risen. If they continued to defend, it was very likely that the good situation would be ruined!
"Luis, get ready to play!" Dick turned and called to Figo, who had been warming up for a while, and then said in Figo's ear: "After coming on the field, your task is to attack...control the ball and make up for our advantage.
Come back, do you understand?"
Figo nodded vigorously. He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. The team had been defensive before, so Dick would not easily change players to break the balance. But this time, it was time for him to play his role!
When Figo stood on the sidelines waiting to play, Real Madrid fans booed. They originally had a honeymoon period, but later, after Figo's poor performance, Real Madrid fans had booed him many times.
, even if he plays wearing Inter Milan's No. 7 jersey this time, Real Madrid fans will still boo him!
Figo expressionlessly hugged Stankovic who ran off the court, and then ran onto the court.
Santiago Bernabeu Stadium - This is a stadium he is very familiar with. When he was in Barcelona, he would come to the Bernabeu at least once every season. After moving to Real Madrid, he played on this stadium for five years!
"Figo is going to play... This is the first time he has faced Real Madrid after moving to Inter Milan! I have to say, this is a very exciting meeting! Now he is playing not in garbage time, although the game is only
There are twenty minutes left, but after Real Madrid pulled back a point, the whole situation has begun to become more complicated. Can he help Inter Milan win? Let's wait and see!"
After Figo came on the field, he stood in his most familiar position of right midfielder. Of course, his position is very active on the court. He always plays not only on the right, but also on the left and center.
After he came on the field, Perrotta moved back a bit, freeing up Sneijder. The two men cooperated in the midfield, which was an important chess piece in changing Inter Milan's situation on the field.
Dick's substitution can be said to have an immediate effect. After Figo came on the field, Inter Milan's midfield control ability immediately increased. If Inter Milan relied on a lot of running and pressing to gain the advantage, now they have
It relied on technique. Figo kept catching the ball and passing it out. While slowing down the pace, it also allowed Inter Milan to gradually press forward.
Faced with such an attack, Real Madrid has a bit of a headache. Are they pressing forward regardless? Then there will be a huge gap in the backcourt. If Adriano or Toni seize the opportunity to score another goal, Real Madrid will be finished.
Don't press forward and continue to fight? If the score of 1 to 2 is maintained until the end, it will not be a good result to go to Meazza with such a score...
Carlo had nothing to do at this time. His three substitutions had been used up. Although he had gained a point, he had lost the possibility of further adjustments. Thinking of this, Carlo felt resentful of Woodgate's failure to live up to expectations.
——If you hadn't ended so soon, would we be so passive now?
At this time, he can only pray that the players can perform better, not lose the ball, and preferably score a few...
But Carlo seemed a little too greedy.
After Inter Milan formed a stalemate, their frontcourt firepower began to show off. Adriano's personal breakthroughs can create many opportunities, and Tony can also involve a large part of the defensive force - now they are even more helpless.
I dare to let Tony go. With Figo's passing ability, it is very likely that Tony will have the final say!
The game reached the 83rd minute - Adriano forced a breakthrough and Samuel was forced to bring him down for a free kick.
Twenty-six meters away from the goal, Figo stood in front of the ball without hesitation - in the Italian derby, his free kick hit the post and gave Inter Milan a chance to win, and this time...
Another perfect curve ball! The ball went directly over the head of the wall, then drew a wonderful arc in the air and flew into the goal from Casillas' hands!
"The ball is in! The ball is in! Luis Figo! A wonderful curve ball! Three to one! Inter Milan once again extended its lead to two goals! Real Madrid...it's really going to end now! Although it's still
In the first game, although there is still an away game, with Inter Milan's current state, they return home with three away goals and two goal differences. It is really difficult for Real Madrid to create a miracle!"
Looking at his teammates who were rushing towards him crazily, Figo showed a smile on his face. He opened his arms and hugged his teammates tightly.
Although he did not come to Inter Milan with the highest transfer fee, and although he was already thirty-two years old when he came, he felt the greatest respect in Inter Milan. Dick will use him and let him play in more games.
He has shown his top form, and the management respects him. Both Moratti and Facchetti are very good to him. The fans like him. Every time he performs well on the court, he will be rewarded with applause, even if he appears.
Even if they make mistakes, they seem to be so tolerant!
Just use such a goal to put an end to the past - but if I encounter Barcelona next time, I will treat them with the heart of a Real Madrid man!
Dick and Marriner high-fived each other and laughed.
"Well, we have won this knockout round! Although Real Madrid still has good strength, they also have many problems! As long as we don't have any problems at home, we will definitely be able to win!"
Marriner nodded the same way. Real Madrid has its own problems now. They are sick, and the illness is not serious. In addition, with such a huge advantage gained in the away game, with the current state of Inter Milan, if Real Madrid cannot be eliminated, then what will happen?
It's a strange thing. It also means that Inter Milan can basically consider the quarter-finals now - of course, no one knows who they will encounter in the quarter-finals. It seems too early to think about it now.
Some.
Dick quickly used up the remaining two substitutions. Yaya Toure replaced Sneijder. Sneijder had just returned from injury and could not be too tired. The remaining substitutions were
It was given to Chiellini, who came on to replace Materazzi. Materazzi also had a hard time keeping track of Ronaldo and Raul in this game, so he let Chiellini come on. At the beginning, everyone returned to defend and strengthened.
With court control, he won't be under too much pressure.
