The second half of the game begins.

Leon sat in the coach's bench and watched the opponent change.

There was no noticeable change in Villarreal and the first half, but with 55 minutes into the game, Leon still saw a clue.

Forlan picked up the ball up front and the Uruguayan didn't rush to get the ball out of the way, but kept it at his feet and then tangled up with Modric.

As Forlan fell to the ground in the entanglement, referee Angela Merkel's whistle sounded.

Luka Modric was fouled and Villarreal won a free-kick in front.

Riquelme's free-kick went into the box, and Forlan managed to grab the ball on Materazzi's pressure, but the ball was high and wide.

"It was Villarreal's first shot of the day!" Ferrari quipped, "and with 56 minutes to go, the visitors finally had a shot on goal!"

***********

Three minutes later, Senna picked up the ball in midfield, the pass was a little slower, and the ball was tackled by Carlos on the ground.

Josemari went to grab the ball and was hit by Zanetti and immediately fell to the ground.

Zanetti was fouled and Villarreal won a set-piece in front.

This time, Fran was unable to grab the spot, and the football was pushed out of the bottom line by Samuel.

Villarreal get a corner!

Riquelme took a corner kick and Alvarez's header was powerless and was held directly by Cesar.

Villarreal scored their second shot of the day!

Although neither of these shots posed any threat to Inter, Leon was alert.

Villarreal were awarded three set-pieces during that time, more than they had in the first half, and in the entire first half, Villarreal only had two set-pieces.

And compared to the first half, Villarreal's players were like Italian macaroni, knocking them down at the first touch, which was obviously a deliberate attempt to pursue set-piece opportunities!

***********

Manuel Pellegrini: Is this trying to make a fuss about set-pieces?!

Leon immediately saw Pellegrini's tactical intentions, in the case of the sports battle was firmly suppressed by Inter Milan, Villarreal wanted to deliberately look for set-piece opportunities in the limited counterattack, because they also realized that they wanted to threaten Inter Milan through counterattacks, and it was difficult in the face of Inter Milan's tight and active scrambling, so they simply bet on set-pieces!

They have Argentine star Riquelme, who has excellent footwork.

If he is close to the goal and the angle of the shot is good, Riquelme can look for a direct attack, and if he is not able to shoot directly, Forlan, the Uruguayan centre-forward, can also play a point-grabbing ability!

And that's not all!

Leon glanced at the scoreboard, and Inter Milan led 1-0!

The 0-1 scoreline is not unacceptable for Manuel Pellegrini and Villarreal, whose tactical intention now is not to concede the goal, and at the same time try to take advantage of the set-piece opportunities they have obtained, in case they can steal a chicken and equalize, then the score result is very good for Villarreal.

Cunning Chileans.

Leon glanced at the visiting team's dugout.

***********

Subsequently, a substitution by Manuel Pellegrini also confirmed Leon's judgment.

Sixty-one minutes into the game, Villarreal called for a substitution, with Hosco coming off and Darabona coming on as a substitute.

Darrabona has a long-range shot.

This is a testament to Villarreal's intention to play a role in set-pieces and long-range shots.

Since Leon saw through Pellegrini's tactical intentions, he naturally had a way to deal with it.

On a dead-ball chance that followed, Leon called Modric to the sidelines to teach him and pass on his tactical adjustments to the whole team.

The first is that Villarreal wants to find a way to deal with set-pieces, which can be given, but the location.

Leon asked the team to step up their pressing of Villarreal's ball-handlers, even if they give them set-pieces, outside the arc of the box, preferably near the centre circle.

Inter Milan's entire defensive chain pressed forward, 'keeping the enemy out of the country'.

In addition, it is to ask the whole team to strengthen the offensive rhythm and drag down the Villarreals, in the first half of the game Villarreal has been dragged down by the fast pace of Inter Milan only half a breath, and now after the fifteen minutes of the halftime break, breathe a sigh of relief, this is not good! Inter Milan must continue to speed up, so that the last half of Villarreal will also rest!

Then, what awaits Villarreal is the goal wide open!

A one-0 lead is not safe, we must strive to score more goals, and at the same time, we must absolutely avoid conceding goals and not give the opponent a chance to score away goals!

***********

Pellegrini stood on the sidelines, although Villarreal is still 0-1 behind, but he is no longer panicking, at halftime, Pellegrini calmed down and analyzed, only one goal behind, it is still acceptable.

And at halftime, he also said these words to the players, the main meaning is, today can equalize, 1-1 is a surprise, if you can't score, 0-1 is acceptable, we have a second leg, back to the home field and then turn the tables.

As Leon had guessed, all he's looking forward to now is not conceding another goal and seeing if he can take advantage of set-pieces to sneak one.

Then Pellegrini's face changed as he noticed that Inter's defence had moved forward, and they did everything they could to stop Villarreal's players with the ball from moving forward from a distance from the penalty area, and if they noticed something was wrong, they committed a decisive foul.

At the same time, Inter Milan picked up the pace again, which put Villarreal under a lot of pressure on their defence, and in this case, it was difficult to have any good counter-attacking opportunities.

His own tactics were seen through by that Chinese?!

Pellegrini glanced at Leon, who was now back in the dugout, with his legs crossed and looking confident.

This made Pellegrini's heart start to beat the drum.

***********

At this moment, Senna had just picked up the ball at the top of the center circle when Carlos came up and the two men became entangled and fell to the ground at the same time.

Villarreal's players thought it was still their set-piece and were about to prepare a penalty when they came up, and the referee whistled again and again and pointed to Villarreal's half, meaning that it was Inter Milan's set-piece.

This caused discontent among the Villarreal players, who complained and protested to the referee.

However, the physical confrontation and entanglement of the two people, falling to the ground at the same time, it is really hard to say who fouled, Inter Milan is playing at home again, even if the referee takes care of it a little, it is understandable, not to mention, there was a situation like this before, the referee blew a foul on Inter Milan.

Just when the Villarreal players were still complaining, Carlos suddenly sent a free kick quickly, slammed the football to the ground, and then kicked it straight out.

The football fell to Modric.

Villarreal's players were only then panicking to organise their defence.

Senna pounced directly on Modric.

In the face of Senna's scramble, Modric did not panic, he made a feint to pass the ball, deceived Senna into falling to the ground and tackled, pulled the football back, passed Senna, and chose to break through!

***********

Villarreal's defense was caught off guard by Inter Milan's fast serve, and was a little flustered, seeing Modric dribbling directly towards the middle, two players immediately pounced on Modric.

Luka Modric, however, calmly played the ball down the wing.

Aguero didn't catch the ball, and then Ronaldo was seen speeding by, catching up with the football, and then flicking the ball to break through to the middle, luring Alvarez over and curling the ball with his right foot!

Mid lane!

Adriano, who followed up, did not stop the ball, and in the run, facing the falling football, he directly volleyed an arc!

A wonderful rainbow!

The ball bypassed the hands of Villarreal's goalkeeper Barbosa and hit the top left corner of the goal, rolling the net high!

In the stands of the Meazza Stadium, countless fans jumped from their seats, raised their arms and cheered.

Adriano runs, gets on his knees, glides on the turf, and points his hands at the night sky of Meacha!

Ronaldo rushed all the way, hugged his compatriots, and yelled in his ear: Well done!

More people poured towards them......

In the stands of the Meazza Stadium, excited fans lit fireworks and danced in their hands.

In the night sky, the stars are shining!

On the sidelines, their head coach Leon raised his right arm high......
