Benitez got up from his seat, unhappy with the referee's decision, believing that Zanetti had been fouled in the tackle.

After a few minutes of observation, Benitez believes that he has seen through Leon's tactical changes, Zivo and Zanetti and Patrice Evra play in the back three, in midfield, Juan Carlos and Sulaij Muntari sweep to disrupt Liverpool's attack, and Modric seems to be more involved in the defense in this situation, no, to be exact, Mata and Arshavin or even Diego Milito are also helping Inter's defence.

"They look happy with a 1-0 scoreline and aim to hold on for a one-goal lead before half-time," Herrera said Benitez's thoughts.

At this time, on the commentary bench, the commentator is also analyzing Inter Milan's current tactics.

'Inter Milan defended quite well, Leon made a lot of adjustments, and it's not easy for Liverpool to score, but at the moment, there are drawbacks to it. Ferrari said.

"It's just that it also means that Inter Milan lacks effective strength in attack. Rossi picked up the topic and said, "It seems that Leon's goal seems to be to keep the score 1-0 in the first half!"

The camera showed Inter Milan in the dugout, and the head coach of the Italian giants, Leon, stood on the sidelines, cheering for the team's captain Zanetti's successful tackle, and it seemed that he was happy with the current situation on the field.

"This is not the Lee we are familiar with, and he will not be satisfied with the initiative of the game in the hands of his opponent. Ferrari said.

"Is the initiative really in Liverpool's hands now?" Rossi asked suddenly, at this time, one of Liverpool's attacks on the field was once again defused by Carlos and Patrice Evra.

***********

Benitez looked at the time, disgusted by the Inter Milanese's blind defence, and he didn't want Leon to succeed in his goal of holding on to a one-goal lead.

Liverpool also need to step up their attack and try to equalise before the end of the first half.

On Liverpool's coaching side, Benitez took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to find Gerrard again, pointing to Inter Milan's half-field direction, and quickly wrote and drew on the tactical board with a serious face.

Gerrard listened very attentively, and then quickly ran back into the field to relay the manager's tactical instructions.

Seeing this scene, Leon smiled and said, "Pablo, see no, your good friend has taken the bait." ”

He is not joking, Leon also just knew that his assistant Banderas and Benitez were actually friends, and they had a good relationship, which was also one of the reasons why Banderas admired Benitez more before, of course, this is also because Benitez is indeed very powerful.

Rafael Benitez was born in Madrid, a youth player at Real Madrid, a coach in the early years of Real Madrid's academy, became Real Madrid's Castilla coach in the 1993/1994 season, and in 1995, Benitez, then an assistant to Boks, left Real Madrid, while Banderas has been working in Real Madrid's junior team and has worked with Benitez.

Of course, given that Leon is also from the Real Madrid junior team and belongs to the 'Real Madrid production', he and Benitez still have some incense.

Banderas smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm afraid Raphael is really as you expected, he's going to be fooled!"

He glanced at Liverpool's coaching bench, sighed in his heart, and admired Leon even more: Benitez is indeed a gap with Leon, and is stepping into the tactical trap deployed by Leon.

***********

It was all premeditated.

Inter Milan has been focusing on defense for a while, getting into hand-to-hand combat in the midfield, and not investing too much in attack, which is like inserting a white lotus in the eyes of the cold steel gun, making people forget the threat for a while.

Leon got up, he walked to the sidelines, did nothing, and went back to the dugout and sat down.

The meaning of this silent gesture is that it is time to tear off the disguise.

The game has been played for 41 minutes in the first half, and four or five minutes in the first half......

Liverpool's offensive suddenly intensified again.

However, in the face of Inter Milan's strict defense, they are like facing a wall, and they can't really threaten Inter's goal.

After two successive attacks were broken up, the Liverpudlians' fighting spirit and energy began to ease as the first half drew to a close.

Gerrard received a pass from Alonso and was pressed by Carlos and Luka Modric, but the latter fired a long-range shot straight over the crossbar and into the stands, without posing much of a threat to the Inter goal.

Lucas, who had fired the anti-aircraft gun, clearly saw the taunt on the corner of Carlos' mouth, which made the Brazilian angry.

***********

Goal kick by Inter Milan.

Goalkeeper Cesar didn't kick the ball straight away, but kicked the ball to Zivo, who turned and passed it to Carlos, who was pulling back.

Liverpudlian people are very troubled by Carlos's sweeping and interception in the midfield, and at the same time, they are also glad that Carlos is very little of help to Inter Milan on the offensive side compared to his defensive strength, so in the eyes of Liverpudlians, Carlos on the offensive end is more 'harmless', so when Carlos takes the ball forward, Liverpool has no one to mark him.

Even Lucas could only pay a little attention and didn't go up to press closely, because Carlos would eventually hand over the football to Modric or other attacking players.

In fact, as Lucas expected, Modric dropped back to pick it up and Carlos passed the ball over.

Modric took the ball, the situation was immediately different, Lucas immediately went up to interfere, and Babel also moved closer to this side.

Over the years, the young Luka Modric has developed into a top midfielder, and he has been named one of the 10 most likely to win the Ballon d'Or among the young players under the age of 23 in world football today, along with Manchester United's Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo and his England team-mate Wayne Rooney. Barcelona's Leao Messi of Argentina, Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas, AC Milan's Brazilian Alexandre Pato, Lyon's Karim Benzema of France, Luka Modric's Spanish team-mate Juan Mata at Inter Milan, Argentina's Sergio Aguero and Spain's David Silva.

However, Juan Carlos, another young star of Inter Milan, was not included in the preliminary list of the 'future European Ballon d'Or because of his defensive attributes.

Among these ten players, Inter Milan occupies four places, in addition, Benzema of the Lyon team is also cultivated by Li Ang, "French Football" praised Li Ang very much, saying that the Chinese coach, raising a hand, grabbed half of the stars of the future of football!
