The commentator on the TV stretched out his voice and roared to his heart's content, and in front of the TV, many Inter fans were like him, and their huge cheers were about to drown out the commentator's voice!

In Milan, countless Inter Milan fans in the bar cheered wildly, at this moment, their excitement and enthusiasm can detonate everything, after Torres's header shocked them into a cold sweat, and in the blink of an eye, Inter Milan used the goal to tell everyone that they are powerful!

Mata's goal extended the score to 3-0, and in the two-legged knockout round, the away 3-0 lead was temporarily ahead of Liverpool, and the pressure on the second leg will be much less, and the door to the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League is already opening to Inter Milan......

On the TV, Mata, who had scored the goal, tore his shirt hard, yelling as he ran, looking extremely excited.

Behind him was the excitement of the Inter Milan players, this goal ignited all the enthusiasm of the players, they know the meaning of this goal best, this game, no one can take away their victory!

In the first half of the game, a teammate was sent off with a red card, and in the second half of the game, he scored another goal to expand the score to 3-0, which was not easy!

It is precisely because of the hard-won gains that I will be doubly excited.

***********

Li Ang jumped up from the coach's seat, shook his arms hard, and clenched his fists tightly.

This goal perfectly fulfilled his strategic intention, in the case of 3-0, he did not think that Liverpool could still have the possibility of turning the tables, Benitez's team had no chance, even if it was possible to cause some trouble and trouble to Inter Milan, however, they had no chance of turning the tables!

Despite the fact that the team has one less person to play, Li Ang still firmly believes that no team can turn the tables with Inter Milan leading by three goals!

No!

"This goal is in, and the game is secure!" Banderas also shouted excitedly, "Everything is according to your plan!"

Li Ang laughed, unabashedly triumphant, "The plan is well formulated, and the players are still needed to execute it!"

And the bench at Inter Milan was already a sea of cheers, and everyone in Inter Milan was celebrating the arrival of the third goal!

And not far away in the Liverpool coach's box, Liverpool manager Benitez was discussing tactics with his assistants, and then he was attracted to Inter Milan's attack, watching Inter Milan's flowing attack, Benitez's heart tightened, and then he saw the last thing he wanted to see: to see Mata shoot with the outside of his instep to put the ball into the goal again......

Benitez froze for a moment, he still had the tactical board in his hand, and then the Spanish coach slammed the tactical board to the ground, as if this was the only way to vent his anger, and as soon as the ball was lost, all the things he had discussed with his assistant became useless!

Benitez is a very rational person, he has always been calm in doing things, and he rarely gets so angry, which shows how angry and disappointed he is at this time.

***********

Benitez was angry for a reason, just as he was trying to think about how to suppress Inter's attack, how to fight against Inter's tough midfield, how to break down Inter's goal, Inter Milan scored!

This goal was a huge blow for Liverpool!

0-2 and 0-3, although the difference is only one goal, however, they are very different!

Despite Liverpool's numerical advantage, Benitez was not arrogant enough to think his side would be able to score three goals in a row in the coming game time, and, most importantly, the blow to Liverpool's morale could be huge!

At 0-2, if Liverpool pulls one goal back, they will only be one goal behind, which will make the players see hope, and if there is hope, there is motivation!

However, three goals behind, the players will inevitably be a little discouraged in their hearts, they will subconsciously think, even if it is a goal back, it will not help, although this may only be a momentary thought for a tried and tested player, and then will muster up the courage to fight, but in the subconscious, the impact on the players cannot be ignored.

At this moment, Benitez also has to admit that in the first leg, at Anfield's home game, it will be difficult for his team to win, it will be difficult.

Although there is still a second leg of the game, the door to promotion has not been closed to Liverpool, and Liverpool still has a chance to turn the tables, but Benitez knows that in his battle with Leon, he has already lost one game first, and he lost a bit badly, digging a big hole for the second leg!

Benitez became famous earlier than Leon, but, in fact, it was only two or three years away, both of them were the champion coaches who came out of La Liga, and even the famous coaches who came out of Real Madrid, both of them were recognized by the media as tactical masters, this time the media hyped who was more powerful of the two, which also affected Benitez to some extent, and he was also looking forward to beating Inter Milan and defeating Leon's team in such a direct duel, but now the reality is that although the game is not over, the game at Anfield, in his Benitez turf, he lost a little too embarrassed……

***********

Benitez is not reconciled!

He knew he and the team had to make a difference!

Now, Rafael Benitez has accepted the outcome of his team's possible defeat, but he knows that Liverpool will have to fight hard for the rest of the game for the rest of the game for the second leg.

With a wave of Benitez's hand, footage began to appear on the TV with multiple players on Liverpool's bench getting up to warm up.

In the 65th minute of the game, Liverpool made a substitution.

Rafael Benitez used up two substitutions at once:

Veteran Finnan at the back was substituted and 25-year-old wide majmaine Pennant came on as a substitute.

Today's performance was very hardworking, however, the performance can only be said that the average Dutch star Kuyt was replaced, and the high-ranking Crouch came on as a substitute.

Leon sat in the seat of the Inter Milan coach's box, he saw Benitez's substitution adjustment, and the Inter Milan coach showed a surprised expression, and he said to his assistant Pablo Banderas Nunu, "Mr. Benitez is going to work hard!"

Banderas shrugged and didn't say anything.

Leon got up from his seat, Benitez made a move, he was going to play with his life, and it was time for him to make a move to return the favor.
