Chapter 590: Is This Fate?

Milito's goal was Inter's first goal against a Premier League side in seven years!

The goal was a huge morale and confidence boost for Inter Milan, but it also angered a proud Chelsea. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

An out-of-style giants who have not won in the knockout rounds of the Champions League for four years actually scored their own goal in the opening game, and the Chelsea players were not convinced.

There was little need to encourage each other, and after kick-off, the Chelsea players launched a tidal wave like Inter Milan.

Chelsea are typically hard-hitting with wide openings, not as fast as Manchester United and not as technically good as Arsenal, but they are full of power and are close to the opposition on every ball, both defensively and offensively.

In the fifth minute of the game, Kalou attacked Zanetti with the ball, Zanetti was not shaken, and he was in a steady position, waiting for Eto'o to come back and defend Kalou.

For other teams, the ball was passed to the midfielders to continue organising, but at Chelsea did not like this kind of trivial combination, and Kalou directly hoisted into the Inter Milan penalty area to find his striker Drogba.

It's so capricious! It's so rough!

Drogba lived up to Kalou's pass, and he held on to central defender Lucio for a header.

However, there was also Samuel at this time.

The Argentine leaped high to get the ball out of the way.

Cambiaso in the middle was clearly stuck in position to stop the clearance, but Ballack forced Cambiaso out of the way and headed it to Frank Lampard.

Frank Lampard didn't hesitate to pick up his feet and shoot.

The kick was powerful and sinky, whistling straight to the left side of the goal.

Frank Lampard's long-range shot was one of the best in his life, and the veteran Toldo was ready to save when he saw the ball passed to Lampard, but Lampard's long-range shot went wide of the post.

Toldo's wide-footed goal kick was picked up by John Terry on the edge of the Chelsea penalty area, and he headed it over to Mikel and boldly stepped forward.

Mikel crossed to full-back Branislav Ivanovic, who passed to winger Anelka, who couldn't get past McConn's defence and made two feints and a diagonal pass into the box.

This time Ballack stepped in from the back row and rushed into the box, Samuel defended desperately, but still could not carry Ballack, who jumped high and slammed the ball into the goal.

The ball Toldo was in a good position, and the ball bounced off his body.

Ballack's header was powerful and Toldo was beaten to the ground.

The ball flew out of the penalty area, Motta raised his leg high and wanted to kick the ball out, but he didn't expect Terry to assist Inter Milan's 30-meter area, and he was also fighting for the ball, the ball was pushed out by Terry, and Motta kicked Terry in the face.

Referee Gonzalez immediately blew the whistle to stop the game, awarded Motta a yellow card and awarded Chelsea a free-kick.

Motta's yellow card is a little wronged, but there is nothing to say, the on-site commentator Reka did not blame Motta, but he was deeply anxious about Toldo's reaction, "Ballack's ball is fortunately correct, if it is a little off, I am afraid that I will score, the ball hit Toldo's body, Toldo did not react, this is indeed old!"

Chelsea continued to attack, constantly creating killing opportunities near the penalty area of Inter Milan, and now the main defender Motta received a yellow card and got a free kick in front, Inter Milan fans were a little frightened, seeing Drogba come over to take the free kick, the Inter Milan fans in the stands booed together to the African monster, trying to interfere with Drogba.

Drogba was also a big player and didn't care about the boos, he ran long distances and tried to hit the wall with a powerful volley, but the ball bounced off the defender's back and back.

Ballack followed up with another powerful volley, but the ball went over the crossbar again.

Although Chelsea's multiple shots failed to find the back of the net for Inter, it was too dangerous to be pressed like this, and Mourinho ran to the sidelines and yelled at Sneijder, "Hold the ball!

Sneijder smiled helplessly, doesn't he want to hold the ball, he wants more than anyone else, Gao Xiaodong just got a key assist, Milito had a goal, even if he lost in the end, these two people were not black after the game, and he estimated that it would be miserable after the game, but Chelsea is now playing high, his height and header ability, he can't touch the ball at all, where is talking about holding the ball.

However, since the coach asked for it, Sneijder could only desperately grab the ball and get the ball.

Seeing that his teammates were suffering from the high ball, Toldo didn't dare to open his feet again, and passed the ball to right-back McConn, who played a combination with Motta to break through Anelka's belt and assist forward with the ball.

Chelsea left-back Branislav Ivanovic stepped up to intercept and midfielder Mikel also flanked McCone.

McCone didn't stick the ball and crossed the middle to find the striker Sneijder.

Frank Lampard came over to press, Sneijder used a nimble turn to avoid Lampard, and then crossed to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong easily got the ball, only to find that Ballack and Kalou had retreated to his side and behind him, and attacked him with Malouda.

Gao Xiaodong decisively passed to Sneijder again, and inserted himself into the middle of the penalty area to avoid the opponent's encirclement.

The opponent was strong and fierce, and Sneijder didn't dare to be a little selfish, and then passed the ball diagonally to Gao Xiaodong.

The space was too small, and there were Chelsea players running everywhere, and Sneijder's ball was passed to Gao Xiaodong's feet.

As soon as Gao Xiaodong stops the ball, the opponent will immediately surround him.

At this time, Gao Xiaodong saw Milito pulling the side, he conceded the ball, flicked his heel, and passed the ball to Milito.

The ball was cleverly passed and drew cheers from the fans in the stands.

Milito handled the ball more succinctly, and he didn't wait for full-back Malouda to come over, and went straight to cross with his feet, looking for Sneijder and Gao Xiaodong who were cutting forward.

Chelsea's central defenders John Terry and Carvalho are both old demons, their judgment of the position is world-class, the two stuck the position, so that Gao Xiaodong and Sneijder must go around the arc to grab points, just this delay, Sneijder Gao Xiaodong did not grab, the ball flew to the back point.

During this time, Inter Milan has been playing on the right and in the middle, and their left side seems to have been neglected, but in fact, the left midfielder Eto'o is more famous than Gao Xiaodong, but he has been silently retreating to defend, waiting for the opportunity, and this opportunity has finally come.

Seeing the ball fly to the back post, Eto'o and Ivanovic ran towards the penalty area at the same time, but Ivanovic was 1.88 meters tall, which also determined that his start was slower than Eto'o, and by the time he reached the penalty area, Eto'o had already volleyed into the air.

It was a difficult shot, but Samuel Eto'o held it down and the ball curled straight into the top left corner of the net.

Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Cech is one of the world's best goalkeepers, moving to the right and turning back to leap up and smash the ball over the crossbar with a miraculous one-hand.

The Inter fans were ready to celebrate, and Cech's save forced them to put their hands down again.

Petr's save gave the Chelsea players more confidence and the referee awarded another free-kick to Chelsea after a failed Inter corner, with Frank Lampard's long ball and Didier Drogba brought down by Lucio as he stopped.

The free-kick was even better than Drogba's previous one, almost twenty-five or six metres from goal, and there was plenty of room to drop after curling over the wall.

Drogba was in front of the ball again, and this time he opted for a curling shot.

The ball whistled around the wall and flew straight into the near corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Toldo quickly moved sideways, jumped up and pounced on the incoming ball, but Toldo, who was 39 years old, had no reflexes and no longer as fast as before, and he had just jumped up when the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off.

Mikel from the perimeter followed up with another follow-up shot, but the ball went wide of the post.

Drogba's free-kick on the crossbar almost made the entire Meazza stadium tremble, and at that moment all the Nella group stopped breathing until the ball popped out.

Goalkeeper Toldo's agelessness and sluggishness were laid bare after Chelsea's two shots, and if Drogba's goal had been a little lower, it would have been a goal, and Toldo simply didn't jump off the ground.

If the power of the monster is great, the ball speed is fast, and it is normal to have no time to jump, then Mikel's second shot is even more revealing, and Toldo, who fell to the ground, did not have time to make a second reaction, which is not the level of the world's top goalkeepers.

Seeing this scene, Inter Milan fans fell into a deep panic, they could not imagine that relying on the veteran Toldo, they could withstand Chelsea's 90 minutes of indiscriminate bombardment.

Mourinho and goalkeeper coach Silvino looked at each other, there was a deep helplessness in their eyes, there was no way, Toldo was already the best choice, the third goalkeeper Orlandoni was even worse, the goalkeeper position was too special, and Mourinho, who commanded the first in the world, had no choice, and now he could only resign himself to fate.

Although Inter Milan's midfield is not hard enough, it is suppressed by Chelsea's long pass rushing and high hitting tactics, but Inter Milan's defensive system is still very complete, Gao Xiaodong and Eto'o are like defenders back to defense, Chelsea bombarded Inter Milan's penalty area indiscriminately but never scored.

In the 30th minute, there was a change on the pitch when Chelsea right-back Branislav Ivanovic suddenly dribbled from the back to the side of the Inter penalty area, cut across to the middle under the interception of Zanetti and Eto'o, and then fell to the ground to pass the ball under Cambiaso's defence.

At this time, the Inter Milan players are defending Drogba, Ballack, Lampard, and even Mikel's long-range shooters, no one expected that Kalou would cut to the edge of the penalty area, he met the ball with the arch of his foot, the ball flew into the net against the post, and goalkeeper Toldo only made half a save.

1:1

With a magical assist from defender Branislav Ivanovic, Kalou equalised and secured a valuable away goal for Chelsea.

"Ahh

"Great!"

"Kalaw!"

The Chelsea players ran wildly in celebration, and Carlo Ancelotti roared excitedly.

At this moment, the coaches, players and fans of Inter Milan were stunned, and everyone wondered, is this the fate of not winning against an English team in 45 years?
