Chapter 299: Tactical Fraud
At the end of the first half, the score was 2-2!
Inter Milan played a 2-2 draw with Barcelona at home, and the entire first half can be said to be full of sparks, both sides played unconservatively, with four goals in 45 minutes, such an offensive battle is rare in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Such a wonderful match appeared in the semi-finals of the Champions League, which many people did not expect. Football today is becoming more and more utilitarian. As long as it's a knockout round, it must be dull, let alone a heavyweight event like the semifinals.
Barcelona will strengthen their attack in this game, many people have expected it, after all, Barcelona lost 2-4 at home in the first leg, and if they want to turn the game around, they must attack and score as many goals as possible.
What I didn't expect was that Inter Milan was not conservative at all and started an attack with Barcelona. You must know that before the game, when many media and football celebrities talked about this game, it was generally believed that Li Ang would adopt the safest defensive counterattack tactics.
Unexpectedly, Li Ang actually held high the banner of attack, which made everyone unable to adapt to it.
***********
"It was a great first half. "Leon is playing against Barcelona with the banner of attack, this kind of game is absolutely satisfying for everyone, and I am now looking forward to the early start of the second half." ”
"Judging from the situation in the first half, Inter Milan will not be conservative in the second half and will continue to attack. "Now is the time to test our defence, if we can keep the goal without conceding a goal and at the same time make a difference in attack, a comeback is not out of reach!
Whether it is the Italian commentator or the Catalan commentator, through the analysis of the first half of the game, they have come to the conclusion that the second half of the game will still be a wonderful offensive drama.
Rijkaard also thinks so, and he is sure that Leon will still play in the second half, so he told his players at half-time to continue to strengthen the attack in the second half and seize the gap left by Inter Milan after pressing the attack.
However, almost at the same time, in the dressing room of the Inter Milan home team, Leon had a smile on his face and confidently said to his players: "In the second half of the game, we changed our tactics!"
The crowd looked up at their manager.
'We play defensively and counter-attack. Leon said with a smile.
***********
In this game, the commentators He Wei and Zhang Lu of CCTV Sports Channel commented on the scene.
At halftime, Zhang Luzheng was full of praise for the fighting style of the two famous coaches and sighed with emotion.
We can clearly see the main operational ideas of the two managers, Leon directs Inter Milan to pay attention to "blowing up", in two wings, each has two players to raid, on the left is "Evragamata", on the right is "Makonga Al Shavin". On both flanks, Inter Milan are two entanglements with the opponent and one ...... Hehe......" Zhang Lu smiled, "Inter Milan under the guidance of Li Ang has Adriano and Diego Milito, and with these two center forwards, it is natural to make a fuss on the side!"
"There is another factor, that is, Modric has not fully recovered from the injury, in addition, Carlos is injured and suspended, which makes Inter Milan unable to fight Barcelona in the midfield, so Li Ang has chosen to focus on the wing, which is very smart!" He Wei nodded and said.
"As for Barcelona...... Hehe......" Zhang Lu smiled again, "Their thinking is more obvious, pursuing the team's advantage in the middle." In the first half, the team had Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Henry and Messi operating in the middle, plus Yaya Toure and Ato'o, who often detoured to the middle. There are six people in the midfield, sometimes even shrunk together, in pursuit of absolute dominance in the middle. Their two goals were also opportunities to play in the middle! Obviously, Rijkaard also knows that they have an advantage in the middle now!"
'The first half was a great one, the two sides played against each other. He Wei said with a smile, "The fans must have enjoyed watching it, four goals in the first half of the game, and we are now looking forward to the second half of the game to start quickly, maybe today's semi-final game can create the history of the most goals in the semi-finals of the Champions League." ”
"That's right, hehe......" Zhang Lu smiled, "Both sides are very passionate today! Of course, Barcelona must attack passionately, and Coach Li Ang Li is completely relaxed and let go today." ”
***********
The second half began.
The change at Inter Milan was a surprise to Rijkaard.
Barcelona were determined to press out from the start, but Rijkaard soon discovered that his opponents, Inter Milan, did not press out as they did in the first half.
What Rijkaard saw was that in the face of Barcelona's attack: Inter Milan did not seem to continue the attacking posture, but instead contracted the defensive line and put on a defensive counter-attacking posture......
"I'm ***!" Rijkaard's chest suddenly tightened, and he was uncomfortable, and he was also angry.
Cunning bastard!
Rijkaard even suspected that Inter Milan would play against Barcelona in the first half, which was also a 'tactical deception' that Leon had already done for the second half.
Because of inertial thinking, Rijkaard, of course, takes it for granted that Leon will also attack wildly in the second half of the game, and the tactics he formulated are also based on the premise of the two sides.
Not just because of the tactics, but also because Rijkaard obviously didn't want to see Inter play on the counter-attack, he knew best how difficult Leon's side was in 'counter-attacking' mode, and that it would be exponentially more difficult for Barcelona to score.
With two more goals needed to equalise the aggregate scoreline, Barcelona now have to face a defensive chain wall called Inter.
***********
The Catalan commentator was very angry, very depressed, very unhappy, and began to black Leon: "Leon must be afraid, afraid that the team and Barcelona will continue to lose goals, will lose a lot of goals, will lose the game, will be overturned by Barcelona! So, he is scared! He was scared by Barcelona's two goals in the first half!" This coward, unseeded man, Barcelona's artistic football is now facing the ugly football of Inter Milan, which is the sorrow of football, the shame of football art......"
The commentator was furious and furious, and as for the fact that Barcelona also conceded two goals in the first half, he seemed to have forgotten about it......
