Chapter five hundred and twenty first terrible Inter Milan
"I am very satisfied with your performance in the first half. We scored a goal, which will be very important. Although we also conceded a goal, in the two rounds of the game, the away goals were quite high.
Importantly... although becoming the first team to score against Arsenal in the Champions League knockout rounds this season is not something particularly worthy of bragging, I still have to praise you, you did a good job."
The players who returned to the locker room seemed a little unconvinced, because it was not a very pleasant thing for the opponent to equalize the score with a free kick. Inter Milan scored a lot of set pieces and defended the set pieces.
His ability is also very outstanding, but he was scored by Arsenal with a free kick, which indeed made the Inter Milan players very unconvinced.
But Dick praised them from the beginning in the locker room with a smile on his face. This was a rare thing for Dick, because Dick was not used to praising players in the middle of the game.
He waits until he wins the game before he praises him. Even if he did play well in the first half, he will first ask questions and then put forward performances, so in this way, the Inter Milan players are a little surprised.
"Don't look at me like this, don't forget that this is the semi-finals of the Champions League. Although I have won the Champions League twice, for anyone, the honor of winning the Champions League is very exciting.
To enter the semi-finals this time, of course I have to be a little different from usual."
Dick said with a smile, which made the Inter Milan players laugh one after another. Perhaps it is because they have experienced too many important games in Atletico Madrid and Dortmund. From the beginning of last season to now, Dick has
He did not appear particularly excited in any game. He always did not praise the players during the halftime break. He only used rewards to prove his happiness after the game. But now that he said this, it made the players of Inter Milan
They became more relaxed.
Even Dick, who has won the Champions League twice, will feel a little different from usual for the semi-finals. It is natural for them to be a little nervous - when they think like this, the nervousness will disappear unconsciously.
Quite a few...
"We have to continue to attack in the second half. The current situation is in our favor, but we have to pay attention when attacking, advance layer by layer, and don't give them too many opportunities! Since they can use grinding tactics like Juventus, then
This approach is not unfamiliar to us, after all, we often encounter such situations in Serie A. We have nothing to worry about in the away game, just do it boldly! Let them see what the Serie A team will do in this situation.
Play more patiently than any other team!"
Dick's tactical arrangement can be said to be hurtful. In fact, he should not do this, because even Juventus, which is best at playing like this, was beaten 2-0 by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
When the stalemate came and went, Arsenal suddenly used their strength twice to solve Juventus. Now that Dick dares to use it like this, he is sure that he has more stars than Arsenal, and they are in the same condition.
Very good too…
Juventus lost to Arsenal because their players' condition had actually begun to deteriorate at that time. After overdraft for most of the season, Juventus' condition at that time was not the best, not to mention
At that time, they were tortured by Inter Milan in the league, so they lost to Arsenal in the grindstone confrontation they were best at. But now Inter Milan's situation is completely different. They are in good shape and their players are confident.
Manman, the advantage in the league also has a positive meaning.
What's more, Inter Milan's offensive ability this season is indeed the strongest in Europe, which allows them not to worry about their offense even in a stalemate. Henry is excellent, but Inter Milan's Adriano is not worse than him.
To some extent, Arsenal has Cesc Fabregas in the midfield, and Inter Milan also has Figo. In terms of player ability, Inter Milan is better than Arsenal, because their other stars such as Pires and Ljungberg have begun to decline.
Now, Rosicky has not returned to the form he had when he was in Dortmund. On paper, he is very strong, but in fact, the two top players that Arsenal can rely on most now are Henry and Cesc Fabregas.
In terms of core players, Inter Milan is not weaker than Arsenal. In other positions, Inter Milan has the upper hand. Dick naturally has the confidence to dare to do this in the away game. Even if he is unlucky and loses to Arsenal... isn't there another one?
Away goal? Dick didn't care about that...
As a result, it will be very difficult for Arsenal.
Whether Inter Milan continues to attack in the second half or shrinks its defense, Arsenal is not very afraid. If Inter Milan continues to attack, then Arsenal can just take advantage of the situation and launch a defensive counterattack. They are all players with good speed and skills in the frontcourt, especially
Henry's personal ability is top-notch. If Inter Milan recovers, they can just use their ability to pass back and forth to tear apart the defense, gradually suppressing Inter Milan and causing problems in their defense - in fact, Wenger is in the midfield
The arrangements during the break are nothing more than made for these two situations - after all, the halftime break is only so long, and with the way Wenger prepares before the game, he does not have much time to make comprehensive arrangements.
So a few minutes into the second half, Wenger's face began to look ugly. Inter Milan began to attack less frantically, but continued to tangle with Arsenal in the midfield, seizing the opportunity to launch one or two
In the first assault, Adriano relied on his own ability to break through after getting the ball. Tony kept retreating to get the ball, Stankovic ran in the midfield without hesitation, Figo moved back and forth from the wing, and Yaya
Toure's forward penetration, although the number of people attacking each time is not large, can bring huge trouble to Arsenal!
It is difficult for Arsenal's offense to create opportunities because Inter Milan has enough manpower in the backcourt, especially ten minutes into the second half, when Dick replaced Maggio with Cordoba, Inter Milan's defense
The return to the best defensive state made Arsenal's offense even more difficult.
Henry is certainly outstanding, but Cordoba is very suitable to mark him. Cordoba is a fast and responsive defender, and his confrontation ability is not weak. Although he is much shorter than Henry in height, but when
After he entangled Henry, it was very difficult for Henry to break through smoothly. What's more, Cordoba came on the field in the middle and had no physical problems. Henry's physical fitness also declined a lot after running in the first half.
In the aftermath, Cordoba froze Henry to a certain extent...
Henry is indeed Arsenal's most important offensive player. This situation has shown up to now. When Cordoba froze Henry to a large extent, Arsenal's entire offense began to be greatly affected!
When Henry was frozen, Arsenal's offensive players began to feel a little at a loss, because Henry is a very important member of any Arsenal offensive link, and he will definitely participate in Arsenal's offense, even if
He is not the final scorer or the final assister, and when Henry cannot get the ball, Arsenal's offense will often be interrupted.
When two top teams meet, in such a stalemate situation, if one side's offense is often so greatly affected, then it will not only affect its own offense, but also its own defense - that is to say, the entire team will be affected.
A huge impact!
Under such circumstances, Inter Milan's offense began to pose more threats, and the number of attacks began to increase. In the case of entanglement between the two sides, they were more capable of creating more opportunities!
When twenty minutes passed in the second half of the game, not only Wenger saw this situation, but also the players on the sidelines - this was not a joke, but because of Arsenal's situation on the field.
The disadvantages have been truly revealed in front of everyone!
Arsenal fans are crazy and loyal. In fact, this is often a characteristic of Premier League fans. They are still shouting loudly and cheering for their team, but such efforts still cannot make their team's situation better.
Get better!
Wenger changed two people in a row, Hleb replaced Rosicky, and Bergkamp replaced Pires to strengthen the ball control and offense in the frontcourt, but he still could not save the situation. Dick did not make a substitution, but was on the scene.
Bian continued to calmly direct the entire team's offense and defense. The Inter Milan players seemed to be in better and better shape on the court, constantly launching impacts and attacks, smashing Arsenal's defense to pieces!
If Arsenal's defense wasn't still struggling to support them, they might have fallen behind long ago.
However, this kind of support will not last for too long. No matter how good the defense is, mistakes will occur under the back-and-forth impact and attack of the opponent.
In the 79th minute of the game, Figo received a pass from Yaya Toure and used a skillful dribbling to break through Senderos' defense. When Senderos struggled to pounce, he passed the ball back.
Adriano was waiting at the edge of the penalty area. Adriano did not stop the ball. The moment he caught the ball, he sent a sharp direct pass with the inside of his right foot. The ball returned to Figo's feet again——
At this time, Senderos, who was marking him, had turned his attention to Adriano. The unguarded Figo directly hit a curved ball with his right foot and flew into the penalty area. Tony, who was waiting in the middle of the penalty area, only needed to let the ball pass.
Hit yourself on the head...
When Lehmann pounced again, there was nothing he could do, and the ball quickly flew into Arsenal's door!
At that moment, tens of thousands of Arsenal fans lost their voices at the same time!
"The ball... the ball has been scored! Inter Milan takes the lead for the second time in the away game! If falling behind for the first time was not good for Arsenal, then falling behind this time will be even more bad for Arsenal! If they can't do it next
A go-ahead score, even a draw, would be very detrimental to them... A 2-2 draw at home, and when it comes to the away game, Inter Milan can do too much, and Arsenal will be forced to do the best! Inter Milan
It's terrible. The back-and-forth offense is unparalleled in the world and can give Arsenal the upper hand. They will be the most popular team to win the championship this season! Even Barcelona is not as terrifying as they have shown!
If these two teams meet in the final, it will be the best ending to the Champions League this season!"
The commentator seemed to have forgotten that the first round of the semi-finals was not over yet, and now started shouting about the opponent in the final, but his shouts became reality to a large extent...
