When Rijkaard was extremely hesitant and unable to make a decision, Inter Milan quietly launched a counterattack when Barcelona's continuous attacks failed and morale began to decline.
Sneijder got the ball in the middle. Both he and Figo performed very well in this game. If Figo is the source of the frontcourt offense, then Sneijder is the source of creativity in the backcourt. His organization and ball-taking are
An important factor in the struggle between Inter Milan and the opponent in the midfield.
When Sneijder got the ball, Xavi and Deco pressed towards him at the same time. For Barcelona's midfielder, everyone has to participate in the defense. Although they are better at attacking, they are better at defending.
He will also make outstanding contributions.
Sneijder did not struggle with the opponent, but raised his foot and distributed the ball directly to the left.
This was a pass from the outside of the instep. The ball drew an arc in the air and landed accurately at Figo's feet. Figo stopped the ball and then quickly took a step laterally. Oleg did not follow.
Because he doesn't know when the opponent will come from the outside again - for Inter Milan, who has a height advantage in the penalty area, the threat of crosses from the wings is greater than the through ball from the center.
Seeing that Oleg did not follow up, Figo began to break through the middle. Although there was Van Bommel's defense, Xavi and Deco had not yet recovered, and Perrotta on the other side was able to create enough space.
When Barcelona's defensive attention began to focus on the center, Figo suddenly stopped and turned around, raised his foot and distributed the ball to the wing again!
It was Zanetti who came up from this side! Although Inter Milan's defense is more defensive, Zanetti's forward penetration from time to time also poses a huge threat!
Zanetti's dribbling was very good, although the cross was a bit off - Oleg didn't dare to press forward lightly, but Zanetti still controlled the ball very well, and then forced a breakthrough from the wing.
!
Seeing that Zanetti was about to break through, Oleg could only choose to foul again - for him, it is the most troublesome to deal with the kind of wing attacker who has excellent ball control, although the opponent's speed is not very fast.
, but as long as you break through, you can create a threat!
Zanetti was knocked to the ground by Oleg. The Inter Milan fans in the stands booed loudly. The referee ran over and warned Oleg a few words this time, telling him to be careful.
Oleg retreated, and Inter Milan's defenders rushed forward again. Even if Barcelona did not suffer much from the set piece, this situation was one of the rare opportunities for Inter Milan to create opportunities.
Two central defenders, two centre-forwards, Sneijder and Perrotta were roaming in front of the penalty area, while Figo stood in front of the ball.
Although he uses his right foot to pass the ball on this side, he can only pass the kind of arcing inward cross. However, if this kind of cross reaches the first landing point at the back point, whether it is a header pass or a direct attack,
Doors can also create huge threats!
Barcelona naturally knows this too. They defend the back points very tightly, and Inter Milan's offensive players are also concentrated at the back points, ready to move forward to grab points at any time.
Players from both sides competed for position, and Figo started to run after hearing the referee's whistle. When he ran close to the ball, he stared at the ball, then raised his right foot and hit the ball hard.
Kicked out!
It was another excellent curve ball. The height of the ball flying into the sky was not very high at first, but it gradually became higher during the flight, until it reached the highest point, and then began to gradually fall!
While he was playing football, Tony and Adriano rushed to the front and center at the same time. This also had a huge impact on the judgment of the Barcelona defenders. Some of them looked up at the ball flying in the air, while others also
Involuntarily, I sprinted forward...
However, the ball flying in the air spun directly over the heads of all the players in the front and middle areas, and flew straight to the back point!
Not all Barcelona defenders were deceived in this way. At least two people were not deceived. One of them was the captain Puyol, and the other was the right back Oleg who returned to the penalty area!
Puyol judged that the ball's landing point was at the back point, but he was a step slower, and Materazzi, who was waiting at that position, also had an absolute advantage in height, which made Puyol give up.
Instead of trying to interfere, he shouted at Oleg: "Go up! Defend this guy!"
Oleg didn't hesitate. He immediately rushed forward. However, when he and Materazzi took off together, he realized how big the gap between him and Materazzi was!
Although Oleg is only a few centimeters shorter than Materazzi in height, after jumping up, with the help of his physical advantage, Materazzi jumped half a head higher than Oleg.
At the same time, the landing point of his jump is better than Oleg!
Oleg could only watch as Materazzi rose up from the ground next to him, faced the falling ball, and quickly shook his head to attack the goal!
Faced with this first head-shaking attack, Valdez couldn't make a save no matter how quickly he reacted. He just waved his hand symbolically and saw the ball fly directly into the goal behind him.
goal!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL——" When Materazzi smashed the ball into Barcelona's gate, in the live broadcast booth, all the commentators, with different skin colors and shouting different languages, shouted loudly at the same time
stand up!
Along with them, the entire stands became excited!
All the Inter Milan fans jumped up and shouted loudly that they could not hear clearly. In their opinion, the third Champions League trophy in the club's history was waving towards them!
Two goals were scored in less than forty minutes of the game. This is not the rhythm of winning, but the rhythm of sweeping!
All the Barcelona fans sat blankly in their seats, unable to say a word as they watched the Inter Milan players celebrating wildly.
At this time, all Barcelona fans began to think of a year that they absolutely did not want to think of again - 1994!
That season, he was also led by a Dutchman. He also made great progress in the league and Champions League. He also had the most beautiful football in Europe. He also encountered a team from Milan, Italy.
, but that year, Barcelona lost to AC Milan without temperament 0-4 in the final, and now, in the first half, it was 0-2 again! This will be the time when
After that, will Barcelona once again lose in the finals bruised and bruised?
They don't want to think about it, they don't dare to think about it, but they still can't help but think of that time, that season that made them feel desperate...
After that Champions League final, Cruyff resigned as Barcelona head coach and concentrated on managing the La Masia football school behind the scenes. Romario left Barcelona and the Dream Team began to disintegrate. And today? Rijkaard
Will Ronaldinho leave? Will Ronaldinho leave? The dream team that has not yet become a reality...will it still exist?
The only good news for Rijkaard is that his players have not lost their fighting spirit.
After the restart, Barcelona quickly launched an attack. Without Rijkaard's deployment, they also launched an attack. This time they did not create opportunities through back-and-forth scheduling like before, because before
The offense has proven that this offense is not of much use to Inter Milan. However, at this time, they began to use sharper and more direct offensive methods to threaten Inter Milan's door!
In the 42nd minute, Oleg, who assisted, passed and shot from the wing, and the ball flew over the crossbar.
In stoppage time, Barcelona's crazy attack almost brought them a goal. Ronaldinho took the ball from the wing and forced the ball into the penalty area. After attracting most of the attention of Inter Milan's defense, Ronaldinho suddenly passed the ball straight.
At the front of the penalty area, Eto'o stopped the ball with his right foot and suddenly turned quickly! Cannavaro was thrown away by Eto'o at this moment. After turning around, Eto'o did not continue to dribble the ball, but took the first
Time to kick the ball!
Cesar made an extremely wonderful save. He made the save the moment Eto'o shot. Facing the shot that was ejected from the instep eight meters away from the goal, Cesar's reaction saved Inter Milan.
, after reaching the end, he almost instinctively stretched out his hand to block. The ball touched by Cesar's fingertips changed direction slightly, and then hit the outside of the goalpost heavily, popping out of the baseline!
"What a pity! Ronaldinho's pass, Eto'o's shot! Barcelona's golden partner almost helped Barcelona get a point back before the end of the first half! They tore apart Inter Milan's defense, but failed to break through Cesar
Er’s fingers! Cesar’s save can be compared to a goal! He should have a place in the World Cup! In any case, he is also capable of competing with Milan City’s other Brazilian goalkeeper Dida for the Brazilian national team.
The main goalkeeper position exists!”
After making this save, Cesar got up from the ground and waved his fist. In the game so far, his performance has completely surpassed the opponent's goalkeeper Valdez, which also made Cesar's heart full of joy.
The pride!
"I have the ability to stand in front of the gate of Inter Milan, and I am even more capable of standing in front of the gate of the Brazilian national team!" Cesar thought in his heart.
This attack was the last attack of the first half. Barcelona's corner kick did not create any threat. When the attacking Cesar picked off the ball and drove towards the frontcourt, the referee's whistle sounded.
, two to zero, Inter Milan entered the second half with a huge advantage!
"The first half is over! Inter Milan leads Barcelona 2-0! The scene of this final is not one-sided, but the advantages of both sides are similar, but Inter Milan has created more threatening attacks! They
The defense of Barcelona is much better than that of Barcelona. This is one reason, and the other reason is the performance of several people! Cesar's performance in the first half completely surpassed the opponent's goalkeeper Valdez, and there was no solution for Barcelona.
Figo, who had an unlucky fate, became the master of the first half! His cross helped Toni open the scoring, and then used a free kick to assist Materazzi to score a header to expand the lead! Although he is already thirty
Three years old and almost thirty-four years old, but Figo at this age still has unparalleled lethality! Looking at Figo's current game, are Real Madrid starting to regret abandoning him? After all, they sold Figo to
Inter Milan only got two million euros... But no matter what, Inter Milan found a treasure. Now the players of Inter Milan want to usher in the first Champions League championship in their careers.
It took 45 minutes! If Rijkaard couldn’t make good adjustments during the halftime break, they would have just watched helplessly as Inter Milan lifted the Champions League trophy!”
