Chapter 259: Massacre

Before the Arsenal players could kick the ball out, referee Hansen blew the whistle for the end of the first half, although there were at least three or five minutes of stoppage time in the first half because of what had just happened, but he did not give stoppage time at all.

After the game, some media also rarely praised the referee Hansen's handling of this way: immediately enter the halftime break, so that the emotions of both sides of the game, especially Arsenal's side, can be relieved, and no more chaos will be made.

The Arsenal players drooped their heads and walked down the tunnel in dejection.

Inter's players had smiles on their faces and they were talking quietly and with a beaming face, however, after receiving a warning from captain Zanetti, no one spoke loudly, in order to avoid irritating the Arsenal people.

Inter Milan players return to the away team's dressing room.

Their head coach pressed his hands on the table, glanced around, and began to speak.

'We scored three goals and the Arsenal man stole the limelight at the last minute. ”

This caused a burst of laughter, and everyone was overjoyed.

Leon didn't stop it, in fact, he was happy to do it himself.

When everyone had laughed enough, Leon looked full, "So, in the second half of the game, how many more goals can we score?"

***********

'The most important thing for Arsenal now is that they don't concede any more goals. England commentator Gary Lineker said at half-time.

"That's right, Arsenal want to avoid a 'history-packing' fiasco. "But the question is, they have to ask Inter Milan if they say yes first." ”

"It's 3-0, Inter Milan should be satisfied. Lineker said.

'You could have scored more goals and turned the second leg into a formality. "I don't see any possibility of Inter Milan being 'merciful'. ”

Obviously, even the commentators on the English side have confirmed that Arsenal's defeat is a foregone conclusion, let alone a comeback, and whether they can withstand Inter Milan's surging attack in the second half is a question.

You know, with Gallas and Klich sent off, Arsenal are two players less.

Kick-off time for the second half had arrived, and the Inter Milan players were already waiting on the pitch turf, however, the Arsenal players did not show up.

Li Ang subconsciously looked at the watch on his wrist and glanced at the direction of the player's road.

"There is a staff member who has gone to urge. Banderas said.

Then, Leon saw the Arsenal players running out of the players' crossing, and at the same time, the stands at the Emirates Stadium erupted in huge boos, which can be said to be overwhelming.

Arsenal fans may be okay with Arsenal losing, but they can't accept losing in this way, so to speak, Gallas and Klich were sent off for a red card, which angered all Arsenal fans, and they felt a lot of anger and humiliation.

They can't forgive this team today.

Leon glanced at Arsenal's coaching box, Wenger's face was gloomy, and he sat down in the dugout without saying a word.

After this game, the professor's life is not easy.

Li Ang did not have the slightest sympathy, but had an inexplicable pleasure, and he also found that he had a habit, whenever he won these famous marshals, especially abused these people, it felt very cool.

Of course, he is also a famous handsome himself.

***********

Arsenal made a substitution before the start of the second half, with Ivory Coast defender Kolo Toure coming on as a substitute for Hleb.

Leon's eyes narrowed, and he wanted to use this substitution to understand Arsenal's tactical adjustments and tactical deployment in the second half.

"Playing a back three?"

An attacking midfielder was replaced and a defender was replaced.

At present, Arsenal have only three defenders at the back, Senderos and Sagna, as well as Colo Toure, who has just come on as a substitute.

In midfield, Hleb is missing, Cesc Fabregas and Diaby as well as Bouee and Flamini, and then Bam Adebayor is alone up front.

"Is this going to be a three-four-one-team game?"

Soon, Leon confirmed his judgment by observing the positioning and movement of the Arsenal players.

Leon shook his head, it's not that he looks down on Wenger, this substitution adjustment is really difficult to call smart, or it can also be seen from Wenger's contradictions.

Adding a defender and strengthening the backline means strengthening the defense, but still thinking about attacking, so it is just a nondescript back three composed of a fullback and two central defenders, and still maintains four players in the midfield who are biased towards attack, and there is still an Adebayo in front of him to maintain the impact.

It's a self-contradictory tactical adjustment: Arsene Wenger is worried about conceding more goals, but he dreams of scoring goals to close the gap!

With only nine players on the pitch at Arsenal, this kind of thinking and adjustment is really 'naïve'!

In Leon's view, there is only one real way out for Arsenal now, which is to strengthen the defense, ensure the full lineup of four defenders, and at the same time replace the midfield with active players, fully retreat, and strive not to concede more goals, or concede fewer goals, to avoid a bigger fiasco.

Clearly, Arsene Wenger didn't choose it that way.

Arsene Wenger's adjustment is like a dilapidated thatched hut with leaks everywhere and a storm coming, but only a few holes have been filled, but he hopes to escape the catastrophe, and at the same time delusions about burning a fire and drying the rainwater......

"It seems that Wenger is really a dreamer, and he has a hint of fantasy. Leon smiled playfully, in that case, he didn't mind being a little more cruel and completely stinging the professor's contacts.

***********

The Inter Milan players faithfully executed the tactics laid out by the manager at half-time: no mercy, attack, attack, attack!!

"Score as many goals as possible!" Leon's request was simple, yet so brutal.

Inter's first goal in the second half came quickly.

In the 51st minute, Inter Milan launched an attack that completely tore through Arsenal's seemingly leaky defence.

Arshavin and Juan Mata abruptly switched positions and the Russian moved to the left, using his technique to shake off Sagna and burst into the box, causing confusion in the Arsenal penalty area.

Then he passed the football to the middle, and the completely unguarded Adriano received it in the middle, facing the goalkeeper, Adriano burst the ball, and the football flew directly into the upper left corner of the goal.

“Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!”

"Adriano, the Brazilians also scored, Inter's fourth player, scored the fourth goal for the team, and their attack blossomed in full swing. ”

"This is the goal that broke the Arsenal guys!" Ferrari said, his poisonous tongue spraying venom wantonly, "no, they should have collapsed long ago." ”

"Zero to four! Defeat is assured! Arsenal suffered a humiliating massacre!"

"Arsenal, with two players missing, is now completely leaky!"

"Arsene Wenger's adjustment seems to be to strengthen the defense, but it doesn't work at all, now there is no threat to Inter Milan in attack, and there are gaps everywhere in defense!"

The camera was shown on the sidelines, and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger sat in the dugout, his expression looked a little wooden, looking blankly at the field.

'Even three Arsene Wenger can't do anything about it now. Lineker sighed.

"Is one of the three Wengers a Leon?" said Eddie Gray, who was so angry by Arsenal's performance, and his phrase has become a classic commentary in the history of the Champions League.

On the other side, seeing Adriano score, Leon just sat in the coach's seat and applauded, his ass didn't even leave his seat, in this situation, the goal had long been expected by him, and he was not so excited.

In the eyes of Arsenal fans, the damage instantly increased a lot. The opposition manager was not excited after the goal, which was nothing short of silent contempt and humiliation for Arsenal.

***********

Five minutes after conceding the goal, Arsenal made a second substitution.

Theo Walcoat came off the bench and Bam Adebayo was replaced.

When Leon saw this substitution, he immediately understood Wenger's tactical intentions, which was to use Walcott's speed to threaten Inter Milan's goal.

Are you still thinking about attacking?!

Leon shook his head, he didn't understand why Wenger was so obsessed at this time, and he was still thinking about attacking. At this time, Arsenal's most realistic approach is to be a turtle with a shrunken head and not continue to concede goals.

Leon also made adjustments after seven or eight minutes.

Goal-scorer Adriano was substituted and young Balotelli came on as a substitute.

With the big picture already decided, Leon sent on Balotelli to give the young man a taste of the Champions League quarter-finals, which is a very precious and rare opportunity for a young player.

Of course, it would be even better if Balotelli could take advantage of the opportunity to get an assist or score a goal.

However, even Leon didn't expect that Super Mario's performance after coming on the field would be so amazing and so 'radiant'!

It was just over a minute into Balotelli's play, and it was also the 65th minute of the game, and Arsenal managed to gain possession, but their pass up front was once again tackled by Inter, and Inter's attack came again.

The ball was passed quickly to the feet of Mata.

Juan Mata stepped on his bike and looked like he was going to break through on his own, which made the Arsenal players look like they were on the verge of a goal from the side, a guy who could score in the box on his own.

However, after Mata flicked a shot, he did not choose to break through, but chose to pass.

He passed sideways.

The ball fell to Balotelli.

Arsenal (4411): 24-Almunia/3-Sagna, 10-Galla, 6-Senderos, 22-Klich/27-Eboue (70'32-Walcott), 16-Flamini, 4-Fabregas, 2-Diabi/13-Hleb (89'19-Gilberto)/25-Adebayor;

When Balotelli received the ball, he made a move to break through, and Flamini, who was defending him in front of him, hurriedly pounced, but Balotelli just faked it, pulled the ball back, and then smashed the ball again, making a gesture to break through to the other side.

Flamini was tricked, and after realizing that he had been deceived, he tried to forcibly twist his weight back, but his feet slipped and he sat on the ground.

Balotelli, who had easily escaped Flamini, slid the ball in the opposite direction into the box.

Then, the Italian boy named Mario Balotelli fully demonstrated his skills at his feet, in such a small space in the penalty area, he faced Colo Toure's up-and-comm, smashed the ball three times in a row, and when Toure was embarrassed, he suddenly cut inside to wipe the ball, and then passed another person.

"Balotelli, Balotelli, Toure, another, one-on-one, Almunia strikes—"

Almunia attacked very decisively, he rushed up directly, and the result was that Balotelli almost just passed Kolo Toure, and saw Almunia rushing out, and the distance between the two was less than two meters, which was almost unavoidable!

"Almunia is beautiful, the strike is timely!" Lineker was full of praise for Almunia's attack, and the goalkeeper almost blocked the angle of Balotelli's shot.

"Balotelli, God, beautiful, he shoots—" Balotelli kicked the goal as the commentator hissed his voice.

He didn't pick up his thigh to shoot, and when he was so close to the goalkeeper, such a volley was almost destined to be blocked, Balotelli chose to stab, he poked his toes, so the ball was very fast, and because his shot was so hidden, goalkeeper Almunia almost didn't have time to make a pounce!

Indeed it is!

When Almunia saw Balotelli stab, he saw the ball being shot and wanted to make a save, it was too late!

Arsenal (4411): 24-Almunia/3-Sagna, 10-Galla, 6-Senderos, 22-Klich/27-Eboue (70'32-Walcott), 16-Flamini, 4-Fabregas, 2-Diabi/13-Hleb (89'19-Gilberto)/25-Adebayor;

The ball rolled past Almunia's feet and into the net!

"Balotelli, Balotelli!! Balotelli - Gooo!!!ooa

Not only them, but also the commentators of other national television stations.

This Italian kid had just been on the pitch for a little over a minute, and the first time he touched the ball, two people in a row, in the face of the goalkeeper's attack, scored such a wonderful goal so calmly, it was simply crazy!

Even England's commentators had to cheer for Balotelli's talented goal.

Balotelli...... Beautiful! This is really a genius goal! Flamini and Colo Toure can't stop him! His footwork is really beautiful! In the face of the attacking Almunia, this Italian boy is as calm as an iceberg, and in the face of such a stab, Almunia seems helpless!"

Even the opponents were cheering for the goal, which shows how wonderful Balotelli's goal was.
