"Forlan scored a goal! In just 40 seconds of the opening, Villarreal silenced the Meazza Stadium! It's incredible. No one expected that Villarreal scored in the first attack of the opening game.
The ball! If Cesar hadn't saved Jose Mari's first shot, maybe Inter Milan would have conceded a goal without touching the ball. It would be a shame if such a situation happened! But
It's not much better now. They conceded a goal at home from the very beginning. This is not a good situation. In the last round of the game, Real Madrid also lost the entire game after conceding a goal first..."
Dick curled his lips in displeasure. This season, Inter Milan rarely fell behind in games, and even if they fell behind, they would not fall behind so early. And now, this humble Villarreal
But he did it. Presumably this goal will wake up all the players...
"Attack, go and get the score back, do you understand?" Dick made a gesture to the court.
Now the players of Inter Milan are in a daze, but they are not afraid. Although losing a goal at home is a disadvantage, for Inter Milan, which is good at attacking, losing a goal at home is nothing, because they are in the away game.
They are very sure of scoring a goal, and now all they want to do is quickly use their offense to create opportunities!
And scoring a goal at the beginning seemed to make Villarreal's players lose their normalcy. Their defense was not very timely, while Inter Milan's offense was extremely determined!
After a few passes, Figo got the ball from the wing. Instead of breaking through, he sent a beautiful through ball. Adriano succeeded in countering offside and scored a single goal!
Goalkeeper Vieira attacked, Adriano picked up his left foot while running and lobbed!
The ball drew an arc, passed over Vieira's head, and then hit the top of the crossbar under the expectant eyes of the Inter Milan fans, popping out of the baseline!
There was a sigh in the stands, but although the goal was not scored, it gave the Inter Milan fans renewed confidence - didn't it just concede a goal? As long as we continue to attack in a stable state, we can equalize or even overtake.
That’s not very difficult!
This shot not only boosted the confidence of the fans, but also allowed the Inter Milan players to quickly enter the state.
In the following time, they began to test Villarreal's defense with strong midfield pressing and back-and-forth impact, allowing them to have a good feel for the strength of Inter Milan, which has the strongest offensive firepower in Europe this season!
After a series of attacks, Inter Milan naturally tore apart Villarreal's defense. Figo cooperated with Sneijder on the right and broke through Solin's defense, then raised his foot and sent a beautiful goal.
Curved ball, Tony's jump in the middle attracted the attention of the opponent's defender, but the ball flew to the back point. Adriano, who followed behind, stopped the ball with his left foot and immediately swung his left foot and hit the goal hard in the penalty area.
!
The ball flew into the gate of Villarreal without any suspense! When Adriano opened his arms and roared into the stands, the cheers of the Inter Milan fans began to rise loudly!
"Adriano scored! This is his eighth Champions League goal this season! This allowed him to surpass Shevchenko, who had scored seven goals with him before, and occupy the first place in the Champions League scorer list alone.
One! Behind him are Ronaldinho and Trezeguet who scored six goals! Adriano's condition is simply amazing!"
"This goal brought the two sides back to a tie. After conceding the goal in the opening game, Inter Milan equalized the score in the sixth minute. This also made the impact of that goal seem less great. Inter Milan showed
Their offensive ability proves that they are indeed the most powerful offensive team this season! Villarreal scoring too early may not be a good thing, and their subsequent performance of worrying about gains and losses also proved this, but for Villarreal
For Yair, scoring a goal in the away game is also a pretty good result. Then they start to control the ball and defend. If they can get a draw or a small loss in the away game, they will have a good performance back at home.
Small chance.”
The commentator's comment was quite correct, and Pellegrini also saw this. He began to instruct the players to control the ball and strengthen defense. In fact, when he took the lead just now, Pellegrini also appeared confused.
After all, it was his first time leading a team to participate in such a game, so it was normal for him to make some omissions.
Although the results created by Villarreal this season can be called a legend, the legend was not self-conscious at the beginning. It was not until the end of the season that Pellegrini slowly adapted to the new role.
——He actually made the right judgment at this time.
Villarreal's strongest point is their midfield, with three South American players and one local player with excellent skills. Their control ability in the midfield is also quite good. When they start to use the ball constantly to kill
When time comes, even Inter Milan cannot create opportunities quickly.
The next game began to enter a war of attrition. Inter Milan couldn't be too happy in pressing in the midfield, because the opponent's two forwards were constantly running around looking for opportunities, while Villarreal was careful when controlling the ball.
, was very fast when returning to defense, which also brought great trouble to Inter Milan's offense.
Riquelme tested Inter Milan's defense with a free kick in the next game, and Inter Milan's offense was more aggressive. The two centers created a lot of pressure in the penalty area. However, in Belgium
Under Yareal's quick defense and targeted intensive defense, they failed to create too many good opportunities. Adriano's header in the 41st minute was slightly higher than the crossbar. Tony was in the penalty area.
Nei's shot was also confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper. These were Inter Milan's two best chances in the first half besides scoring.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the score was one to one. After quickly equalizing the score, Inter Milan's offense encountered considerable trouble.
"Now, I think we can't underestimate our opponents. They are a very good team...Whether it's offense or defense, what do you think about this?"
None of the Inter Milan players answered. The first half of the game really made them feel very humiliated. Although they created enough pressure, they only scored one goal, and the goal conceded after the opening had already begun to show.
It's done its job.
"We don't need to worry too much. They spent a lot of energy resisting our attack in the first half... Did you notice the performance of their players when they came off the field? They were breathing heavily, as if they were tossing a little girl.
It's the same all night... Don't worry, they are not that powerful. They were able to withstand our attack at the cost of physical fitness and energy."
"Because they are afraid of our counterattack, they have to be very careful when controlling the ball, which makes them mentally exhausted. In order to resist our attack, their players are returning to defense in large numbers. Such running makes them
His physical fitness has also dropped drastically. We will definitely have the advantage in the second half. What we have to test now is our ability to seize opportunities! In the second half, we have to do a better job offensively. Alfaro, in the second half, increase the number of forward penetrations.
, for Villarreal, you are a very unfamiliar existence, and coming on as a substitute for Javier also makes them think that you are a player who mainly focuses on defense. You will be a variable in the second half, I
I hope you can show your ability in training and show them with assists that you are not a simple substitute!"
Arbeloa raised his head and looked at Dick in surprise, but Dick turned to Mascherano: "Little Javier, pay attention to fill Alfaro's position in the second half, and Riquelme, just leave it to Wesley."
, Do you understand?"
Mascherano nodded and Dick waved his hand: "Let's go, we have to be more vigilant, but we can't think too badly of ourselves. The most Villarreal can give us is a shock.
There is no way to stop our progress!"
Dick's words just raised the morale of the players - when they despised each other before, Dick told them to be careful, but now they began to pay attention to their opponents, but Dick told them to believe in themselves - this actually
It is also a very subtle mentality. You value the opponent but do not underestimate yourself. This is a necessary factor for a team to be strong.
After the start of the second half, Inter Milan's players began to fully demonstrate their strength!
Dick's words are correct. Although Villarreal tried their best to maintain the tie in the first half, they paid a lot. Their players, including Riquelme, consumed a lot of physical energy.
This is also the reason why Dick was able to command the team to attack without any scruples in the second half!
After all, Villarreal is a small team, and it is great to be able to form a strong main lineup. Although they are focusing more on the Champions League this season rather than the league, they
After all, the league cannot give up, so their main lineup has played quite a lot of games. In terms of physical fitness, they do not have much advantage. After the consumption in the first half, their players' physical fitness has dropped very much.
Very powerful.
At the beginning of the second half, Inter Milan pressed forward with all their strength and surrounded Villarreal with a fierce attack. They not only wanted to pursue goals, but also made the Villarreal players lose more energy during the suppression.
, the players of Villarreal may not be unaware of this, but under such circumstances, how can they withstand the fierce attack of Inter Milan while saving physical energy?
Under Inter Milan's all-round suppression and attack, Villarreal persisted very hard for ten minutes - well, not even ten minutes, because nine minutes into the second half, Inter Milan successfully scored
Go ahead!
Sneijder passed the ball to the wing, and Figo grabbed the ball in front of Sorin. When Sorin came up to press him, Figo flicked his right ankle and delicately lifted the ball over Sorin's head - Sorin
Although Lin is brave, he is only a little over 1.7 meters tall. There is nothing he can do about such an extraordinary challenge.
After picking the ball over Solin's head, Figo did not stop the ball. Instead, he raised his right foot and passed the ball directly into the penalty area before it fell!
The ball flew backward again, and Tony jumped in before the opponent's defender could clear the ball, and headed the ball into the dead center of the goal!
Two to one, less than ten minutes into the second half, Inter Milan successfully overtook the score through a series of strong attacks!
"See, this is our offensive ability!" Inter Milan fans let out a huge roar.
