Chapter 220: Media Voices

Modric's goal was a huge blow for Liverpool, and the 1-4 scoreline weighed a boulder on their hearts and made them unable to breathe.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, took advantage of Liverpool's sluggish moment, almost pressing Liverpool's penalty area in the final moments of the game, and it was clear that Leon wanted his side to continue scoring goals and completely turn the second leg into a routine.

In the stands at Anfield, the hearts of Liverpool fans almost jumped out of their throats, and it seemed that every attack from Inter Milan could score again.

Their goalkeeper Reina guarded the Earth Gate, which was shaking in the wind and rain, as if it was about to fall at any moment.

Leon stood on the sidelines, every attack of the team made him excited, he was very satisfied with this game, very satisfied, to be able to win away to Liverpool when the team was sent off early in the first half of the game, it was indeed a feat, and now, every attack of the team, and probably the goals that will continue, will add more brightness to this game.

Inter's fifth goal finally came in stoppage time at full-time.

It wasn't a counter-attacking goal, but Inter's penetration down the middle, with David Silva's pass breaking through the open space between Liverpool's two defenders.

Diego Milito, who was inserted, didn't stop the ball and stabbed the ball past the feet of Liverpool goalkeeper Reina.

“Gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaal!”

"Fifth, fifth, Diego Milito, incredible, Inter Milan away 5-1 Liverpool!"

"It's going to be the goal that sealed the score!5-1!It's an incredible game!"

"Inter Milan, who are playing with one man less, beat Liverpool by four goals and scored five away goals!

After Diego Milito's goal was scored, and the Liverpudlian didn't have another chance to kick off in the middle circle, Belgian referee De Bricle blew the whistle for the end of the game.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard kicked the football into the air, this game, the Liverpool captain tried his best, but he could not save the defeat, and the bitterness and pain in his heart can be imagined.

As the captain of Liverpool. He's not unhappy with anyone, he's just unhappy with the loss, he's not happy with the heavy defeat...... The team played more and less for as long as an hour, and in this case, instead of winning on their home turf, they lost, and it was a fiasco of 1-5!

***********

According to the statistics after the game, the possession ratio between the two sides in this game was close to five to five, but in terms of the number of shots on goal, Inter Milan was 1.5 times that of Liverpool. However, considering that Inter Milan have scored five goals while Liverpool have only scored one, this is a reflection of Inter's attacking efficiency being far ahead of their opponents Liverpool.

At the end of the game, the Inter players were running around the Anfield stadium – they celebrated the victory like crazy. Celebrate the victory frantically to the deafening boos of the Liverpool fans.

During the game, especially in the second half of the game, Leon looked very excited on the sidelines, but at this moment, the game was over, and Leon seemed very calm. He didn't even celebrate, he got up and shook Benitez's hand.

"I'm sorry......" Leon said comforting Benitez in Spanish, but he said it with sincerity without a smile as bright as a flower.

Although Benitez and Leon were not familiar with Leon, he knew what kind of person this guy was, he didn't bother to look at this person's ugly face, and even ignored this opponent who sincerely wanted to show off in front of him, shook Leon's hand and turned away.

As soon as Benitez left, reporters swarmed up and surrounded Leon. Want to hear what he thinks about the victory in this game.

"A little. Leon used his right thumb and index finger to draw a centimeter away, "We are still a little bit away from qualifying!"

"Mr. Li Ang, are you a little too conceited?" a reporter asked if he couldn't get used to seeing this person's face.

"You are wrong, Mr. Reporter. It's not conceit. "I just have confidence in my players, and that's a manager's basic trust in his team!"

"So, are you sure Inter Milan will advance to the next round?"

"No, I didn't say that because we have to play them at home. When that game is over, you can ask me that question again. ”

"Can you talk about Inter's goals in the Champions League this season?"

Leon immediately revealed his true colors, tearing away that thin layer of hypocrisy and modesty, and he smiled: "I don't want to hide anything, the championship is the pursuit of any team with aspirations!"

***********

After the match day of the quarterfinals of the Champions League, after Leon's Inter Milan played with one less man, after crushing the Liverpool of 'cup expert' Benitez at Anfield Stadium with a thunderous 5-1 victory, the major European mainstream media reported on this key matchup in a big way.

The Italian media on the winning side were naturally jubilant, as can be seen from the title of their article.

The headline on Inter Milan's official website reads: "5:1 Wonderful Victory over Liverpool, Inter Milan is just a stone's throw away from promotion!"

The 'personality' of Inter Milan's official website is getting closer and closer to the team's head coach Li Ang, and a kind of arrogance and triumph begin to be revealed in his bones.

Torino Sport, which has always been unfriendly to Inter Milan and Leon, used a blunt headline like "5:1! Inter Milan crosses the devil to Anfield!".

The headline of the newspaper Roma Sport was "5:1! Shock Europe!"

The newspaper "La Repubblica", titled "Anfield tragedy, Leon is now a legend", praised Inter Milan and their manager Leon, saying that in this 'master tactician' matchup, Leon beat Benitez.

The Corriere della Sera, headlined "5:1! Leon's team is crazy to the quarter-finals!", and the newspaper announced in advance that the second leg was meaningless, and that Rafael Benitez's side could not have reversed the score of 1-5, and Inter Milan had in fact reached the quarter-finals!

The newspaper "Milan Sport" praised Leon's Inter Milan as the Cosmos team in the headline, and their headline was "Crazy 5:1! Football from Aliens!"

And the English media headlines on the losing side are naturally full of pathos.

The Sun used headlines like "The Greatest Shame in History", and given the deep feud between The Sun and Liverpool, it's no surprise that they didn't fall into the trap.

However, the Guardian's headline is also "a historic disgrace", and the two media outlets share the same sentiment, with The Guardian always seen as pro-Manchester United...... As Liverpool's football rivals, the pro-Manchester media naturally can't let go of this good opportunity to humiliate the Hongjun.

The Times was full of sadness, "It's a dark day for English football!"

The Mirror, which is regarded as the mouthpiece of Arsenal, reported that "0-0, Wenger is not satisfied, 1-5, Benitez is sad." "In the quarter-finals of the first leg, Arsenal met AC Milan, also from Milan City, and faced defending champions AC Milan in a 0-0 draw......

Other national media outlets, which are bystanders, have a variety of emotional overtones.

Germany's Kicker headline is "Hell's Night at Anfield: Inter Milan's 5-1 win over Liverpool (yes, 5 goals!), the biggest humiliation in Liverpool's history......

The Bild newspaper titled "Liverpool loses bottoms, there is little hope of positivity", which fully demonstrated the German's onlooker mentality of watching the English team's ugliness and not being afraid of big things.

The newspaper Marca in Madrid, Spain, was headlined "Benitez's nightmare".

Another Madrid outlet, As, used the headline "Anfield, historic fiasco, 1 to 5".

In the Catalan press, Spain's Daily Sport ran the headline "The biggest humiliation in the history of Anfield".

"World Sports" used "Leon humiliates Benitez".

Another Spanish newspaper, the ABC newspaper, headlined "Eternal shame! 5-1 at home is Liverpool's worst defeat in the history of the Champions League, indeed eternal shame".

The headline of the French newspaper "Catastrophe" can be described as succinct and to the point.

The title of France's "Figaro" is more objective, they used "Leon's Inter Milan team enters the quarterfinals with a memorable 5-1" on their website, and then realized that they made a mistake and there is still a second leg to play, so they quickly changed the title to, "Leon's Inter Milan came close to advancing to the quarterfinals with a memorable 5-1......
