Chapter 230: Youngest Goal Record
Benitez frowned, and he certainly knows how difficult it will be for Liverpool to turn the tables around.
Benitez prepared a lot for this game before the game, thought a lot, and the tactical response and related analysis of this game in his laptop can be said to have done his homework, but Benitez had to admit with some frustration: his Liverpool game wants to turn the tables, it is difficult, difficult!
Benitez expects that when Leon thinks that the overall situation has been decided, he will make a large rotation of the second leg of the game, and the players of Inter Milan will also be undermined in the game, so that his Liverpool can suppress Inter Milan at the beginning of the game, and can score quickly, catch Inter Milan off guard, and then make persistent efforts to lead Inter Milan 2-0 or even 3-0 in the first half, so that even in the second half of the game, Leon ' React' come over, Inter Milan wants to make adjustments again, and Liverpool, which has gone crazy, is not afraid of anyone!
However, Benitez reluctantly found that Leon did rotate, but, I have to say, Leon's Inter Milan is different from Liverpool, the rotation of the main lineup and the substitute lineup is very good, the thickness of the team's lineup is also very suitable, and the strength of the rotated Inter Milan has not been greatly affected at all.
And the Inter players did not make the mistakes he expected to be underestimated.
Looking at Inter Milan's tidal attack, Benitez was bitter in his mouth......
***********
Under Inter Milan's continuous frenzied attacks, Liverpool's not too tenacious defense finally showed signs of collapse.
In the 31st minute of the game, Inter Milan shot continuously, and Liverpool goalkeeper Reina finally held a shot from Balotelli, and then chose to throw the ball with a strong hand to launch a quick counterattack.
Mascherano played the ball to Alonso, and at the same time, Torres and Babel cut forward at high speed, but Liverpool's quick counter-attack did not get into play, Alonso passed the ball to Babel, who stopped the ball and was caught by Muntari, who stabbed the ball in the middle of the dogfight and stabbed the ball away.
Patrice Evra, who then came to fill in, passed the ball to Carlos, who went straight to Modric.
Luka Modric dribbles forward.
Adriano ran diagonally, while observing Modric's dribbling, this is a signal for Modric to pass the ball to him, Mascherano and Skrtel closely watched Adriano's movements, the strength of this Brazilian center forward is too strong, this is a little careless can change the score of the player, they dare not have the slightest relaxation, not to mention that before the game Benitez deployed tactical tasks, but also especially Adriano as the number one dangerous person in the Inter Milan team, requiring the back line to be vigilant, as long as Adriano starts, must be careful of his impact and long shots!
Adriano's running position pulled Liverpool's midfield defense, and at the same time, he also pulled Liverpool's defensive line, and Liverpool's defensive center of gravity subconsciously tilted towards Adriano's side.
***********
Modric glanced at Adriano, who was running and motioning for the ball, but sent it directly to the opposite direction of his run: David Silva!
David Silva cut in from wide and Modric's brilliant pass was just in front of his run, which allowed him to play to his dexterity and speed!
Carragher rushed forward.
He estimated his distance to the football and Silva to the football, and then made a decisive decision: a sliding tackle!
When Silva saw Carragher leaning back, he immediately judged the other party's intentions!
He sped up, caught up with the football, stabbed it with his toes, and jumped up quickly!
"Break, beautiful, clean!" shouted the commentator, a breakthrough that is not technical, but very clever and requires a very sharp reaction from the players.
After stabbing the ball out, Silva jumped himself, avoiding Carragher's sliding tackle, and then he hit the ground and chased after the ball.
***********
"Inter chance! Silva cut into the box, one-on-one!"
Skrtel hurriedly threw down Adriano and rushed towards Silva, only to see Silva push with his foot arch and the football passed out!
Adriano had his back to the goal, he didn't mean to stop the ball, but knocked his heel down, and then people saw Balotelli, and the young Inter star shot directly with his feet!
The ball rolled at a high speed and before Liverpool goalkeeper Reina completely collapsed, the ball rolled into the net behind him!
“Gooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaal!”
"Inter's attack was wonderful, Modric's split, Adriano's movement, Silva's technique and speed and agility to the extreme, Adriano's backheel pass, Balotelli's shot!"
"Genius strike! Balotelli! It was his first Champions League game and he scored! This is really the best Champions League debut! Wait......" The commentator Ferrari suddenly exclaimed, "Maybe we have witnessed a new record!"
"That's right, a new record!" is another young man in Inter's 100-year history to write his name into history!" Rossi shouted, "Mario Balotelli, he scored his Champions League debut goal!
"Yes!" Ferrari exclaimed, excitedly witnessing such a record, "Seventeen years and two hundred and eleven days!" Balotelli broke the previous record of 18 years and 145 days for a young player at Inter Milan who scored in the Champions League, which was previously held by Nigerian star Martins. ”
***********
Why can Balotelli only be called the second-youngest Champions League goal record holder?!
Inter Milan's youngest player to score the goal is held by Balotelli's team-mate, who was set by Argentine Sergio Aguero in his first season (2005/2006) when he was brought to Inter Milan by Leon, who scored his first goal in the Champions League at the age of 17 years and 119 days. ”
The camera gave Balotelli a close-up, then to Sergio Aguero on the Inter bench, and finally to their head coach Leon in the Inter dugout.
'Whether it's Sergio Aguero or Balotelli or the same young Juan Mata and Silva and others, they all have to thank Lee, a real legend of the coach, even though he's so young!' said the commentator with emotion.
Leon sat in the coach's seat, and after a brief applause, he turned his head and said something to his assistant, with a faint smile on his face......
A confident and indifferent smile: everything is under control!
At this time, the atmosphere at the Meazza stadium was being ignited by this goal, and the stands were swelling with blue-black torrents, rising and falling, and cheering like thunder......
On the pitch, Balotelli ran to the corner flag, put one foot on the ground, lifted the other, and used the corner flagpole as a tree to make a puppy pee in celebration.
Finally, he shrugged his waist and abdomen and shook it three times in a row, as if he wanted to shake off the juice of the bird's head......
The director immediately gave the camera to the Inter Milan coach's bench, and their head coach, Mr. Li Ang, had a black line......
