Chapter 086: Complete Containment

Materazzi collided with Villarreal captain Alvarez as he was heading over the ball, and his eyebrow bone hit the latter's head and cracked his brow bone.

The referee stopped the Inter Milanese's celebrations and told Materazzi to leave the pitch for treatment and change his shirt. According to the regulations, players are not allowed to play in bloodstained jerseys.

The other players who were going to come over to celebrate together noticed that Materazzi was bleeding, and they were all taken aback by this fierce general, what a warrior!

Materazzi went to the sidelines to receive treatment to stop the bleeding.

Leon asked about the past, and Materazzi said with a big grin that it was okay, and he could continue to play with this little injury.

Leon gave a thumbs up to Materazzi, which head coach wouldn't like such a fierce general?!

It's not about encouraging players to play with injuries, it's about the spirit!

And, to be honest, this kind of hard injury is a small thing for a player, and I am afraid of soft injuries such as strain.

The team doctor stopped Materazzi's bleeding, put adhesive tape, and wrapped a bandage around his head. I got a brand new jersey.

When Materazzi returned to the pitch with a bandage, all the Inter fans in the entire Meazza stadium stood up, applauded, and cheered for Materazzi's blood-stained blood!

The Inter players also gave Materazzi a thumbs up and hugged him!

***********

The Villarreal player watched the scene with mixed expressions. From the very beginning of the game, they felt the bravery of this team, or rather, they could feel the hunger of the Inter Milan people for victory, this hunger, which surprised them, and now, made them jealous!

Villarreal can't understand Inter's desire for victory and title, Villarreal is a dark horse, they can reach the quarterfinals, it is already a miracle, although they make history every step forward, however, Villarreal's desire to move forward is not comparable to Inter Milan!

Although Inter Milan is a Serie A giant, it has not won the Serie A championship for 16 years, as for the Champions League? The last time they stood at the top of Europe was in the 'Great Inter Milan' era in the fifties and sixties of the last century!

Therefore, this giant team is extremely hungry!

Hungry for victories and championships!

However, Inter Milan has been sluggish before, just like Adou who can't be helped, both the players and the club have a feeling of powerlessness!

But, Leon is coming!

This amazing Chinese coach is like injecting magical energy into the Nerazzurri, they are starting to wake up, they are starting to pick themselves up, they are starting to rise!

The league championship is in sight!

Not only did it excite Inter Milan, but it also made them feel better than ever!

They are proud of their performance!

At the same time, I also feel that I have the capital to compete for more honors!

That's the current state of this Inter Milan team!

In fact, to a certain extent, although Li Ang coaches such a giant, but the giant team that has lost its championship color for many years, is the most suitable for him personally and for Inter Milan!

***********

Manuel Pellegrini's expression was serious, his team was completely passive and finally conceded the goal.

He knew something had to change!

However, there is nothing Pellegrini can do now, he can only pray that he will not concede any more goals in the first half, he needs those fifteen minutes of half-time and his players need those fifteen minutes of rest to catch their breath!

Materazzi's goal was the only goal of the first half.

In the following ten minutes of play, Inter Milan continued to control the tempo of the game, and they did not slack off and relax because they took the lead in the scoreline, but continued to put pressure on Villarreal!

This is what Leon has strictly demanded in the season, this game is different from other games, and it must not give Villarreal a chance to breathe!

Therefore, although they did not concede another goal, Villarreal still played extremely passive and extremely uncomfortable!

When referee Angela Merkel blew the whistle for the end of the first half, Villarreal had zero shots on goal in the entire first half!

That's a shocking statistic!

You know, Villarreal's performance this season is surprising both in La Liga and in the Champions League, Pellegrini's team, although not a professional in scoring goals in attacking football, but they have played methodically on the field, and have never been so passive as in today's game, and even forty-five minutes later, there was not even a shot on goal!

"Although the score was only 1-0!, the whole first half was wonderful!" Ferrari exclaimed, "Inter Milan seem to be well prepared for this game! Coach Leon's tactics completely contained Villarreal, the Spanish team was limited from the beginning of the game, they could only follow the rhythm of Inter Milan, and their midfield core Riquelme was also limited in the first half of the game, and did not get even a chance to threaten Inter's goal!"

When Villarreal coach Manuel Pellegrini left the dugout and went back to the players' dressing room, he took a look at Leon and he was shocked!

Playing again after less than a year, Leon's team is even more difficult, and it can be said that it is extremely perfect to limit his team!

When Li Ang coached Sporting Gijón, although Villarreal also lost to Sporting Gijón, Villarreal at least had a chance to win, but now, if you look at the first half of the game, Villarreal has no chance to win at all in this game!

How did this person, in less than a year, become so powerful?!

***********

Perhaps, the words of the commentator on the Spanish side of this match will be able to answer Pellegrini's questions.

"After leaving the Spanish league, coach Leon adapted to Serie A very quickly. "He's more mature now, it's an amazing progress, the skills of Spanish football, the defense of Italian football, he has been perfectly integrated, and now the individual ability of the players at Inter Milan is better than that of Sporting Gijón, so in this situation, Coach Leon's team is even more terrifying!"

Coach Leon is also better at the tactical level now, Manuel Pellegrini is hailed as the new master tactician of the Spanish league, but his team was completely limited by Inter Milan today. Lee's tactics today were very successful! Very successful! Villarreal wanted to turn the tables in the second half, it was very difficult, now it depends on whether Pellegrini can do anything......"
