The whole Calderón stadium was cheering, and all the Atletico Madrid fans were cheering - although when the whistle blew at the end of the game, the score was still fixed at 3-3, but the Atletico fans were extremely satisfied, for the simple reason that they were almost desperate when they were down 3-1, but the score of 3-3 would give them endless hope!

'I'm very happy with the performances of the players...... Because they showed their courage, competence and determination in extremely unfavorable circumstances, which is what I value the most. [Full text reading. We are a new team, and it is normal to make mistakes, but as long as we make mistakes and correct them in time, we will get stronger and stronger. ”

Dick looked satisfied in his post-match press conference, while Tardelli was angry: "We were 3-1 up, but we were chased by two goals in a row...... We have to win when we get back at home and we can't waste the chance to go to the next round. ”

In fact, in terms of scores, Inter Milan has an advantage, but now many people are beginning to have more confidence in Atletico Madrid, the reason is simple, being able to equalize in that difficult situation is a thing that can greatly improve self-confidence, and in the second leg in Meazza, Atletico Madrid will go away with the best condition!

It is precisely because of this understanding that Tardelli will be so angry, because Atletico Madrid showed enough strength to beat Inter Milan and missed a good opportunity in the first leg, even if the second leg is at home, Inter Milan may not be able to maintain a 0-0 draw - Atletico Madrid's offensive ability is quite trembling!

Dick is more confident in Atletico's next results, although Inter Milan scored three goals for Atletico Madrid in this game, but it was not their tactics that prevailed or anything, but because of some reasons close to luck - the first goal was a fluctuation in Atletico's mentality, and the second goal was completely a sudden outbreak belonging to Recoba - that goal was indeed quite beautiful, and the third goal was a surprise to Atletico Madrid.

When it comes to the away game, Atletico Madrid may not give Inter Milan such a chance.

After playing the game against Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid ushered in the twenty-third round of the league, hosting Malaga - in this round of the league, Dick rotated some of the main players, such as Belleron, Capdevilla, and the back Makelele, and the forward line also let Jadel choose to rest, but let Cruz and Torres partner in the front, because they were extremely excited in the first two rounds of the league, so Atletico Madrid's form in this round of the league also showed some fluctuations, after Camoranesi scored a goal for Atletico Madrid in the first half, In the next game, Atletico Madrid was suppressed by Malaga, and was overtaken by the opponent by two goals in the second half.

However, at this time, luck favored Atletico - Vicente's two breakthroughs were tripped by the opposing defender in the penalty area, which allowed Atletico to win two penalties, and Cruise and Torres scored penalties successively, which allowed Atletico to overtake their opponents 3-2 at home and win seven consecutive league games!

"We were really lucky to win this game...... However, this is the reward for not giving up. There's no shortage of luck in any team trying to win something. It's an honour to lead the team to seven wins in a row, but we still have a long way to go and we need to get better wins in the next games...... Now all I have to think about is the second leg of the UEFA Cup, and this season our goal remains the same, which is to achieve a good result in both the league and the Champions League. ”

Dick said lightly at the press conference after the game that he was not lying, because by this time, his mind had already flown to Meazza and flew to the second leg of the fourth round of the League Cup.

Compared to Atletico's luck, Inter Milan are now a bit bleak, drawn by Atletico Madrid in the first leg by a huge margin, and in the midweek league game, they lost 0-1 away to Napoli, although they are still in 10th place, they have been extended to 20 points by first-placed Roma, and even fourth-placed Atalanta are six points ahead......

For Tardelli, the UEFA Cup has almost become his last straw, and he hopes that the team can perform at a high level at home, reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, and continue to progress towards a heavyweight title – Inter Milan have not won a big enough title for a long time, and their last valuable title was the UEFA Cup in 97-98.

With emerging forces on one side and in-form traditional giants on the other, Atletico's aggressive performances over the past year have left Inter Milan without much confidence even at their home stadium - the only thing they can rely on is that they only need a 0-0 draw at home to qualify.

However, this kind of thing is not so easy to do - they have been in a lot of trouble recently, the decline in results has made the team seem disheartened, Dutch midfielder Seedorf said in an interview a day ago that he has been missing the life of Real Madrid, he left Real Madrid not voluntarily, but some people in the club sold him in order to get more profits, although he also said that he would do his best for Inter Milan, but everyone can hear that the Dutch does not want to stay at Inter for too long.

Vieri was also injured in the league at the weekend and although he was able to make it back in time, it is still unclear how much form he will be able to perform in the game after recovering from injury.

Before the start of the game, the Meazza Stadium, which can accommodate more than 80,000 people, only came to watch less than 10,000 fans until now, it is obvious that Inter Milan fans are tired of this season's results, not to mention that it is difficult to win the League Cup with the state that Inter Milan is showing now, but even if they win the League Cup, they can not be satisfied, in the nineties they won three League Cup, but not a league championship, they no longer care about the League Cup championship, All that matters is the league championship!

When Dick appeared at the Meazza Stadium with his players, even Dick was stunned - the large blank stands made him really unable to believe that this was the Meazza Stadium, and in his mind the Meazza Stadium should be a crowded crowd, with fireworks in the stands and a neat chorus like an opera...... What it looks like now...... Tsk, it's not even as good as a La Liga team!

What this situation shows is the extreme disappointment of the fans with the team, and what can the Inter players do in such a home atmosphere?

There is no other way, he has only one choice, and that is to strive for the best result - that is, to keep the peace! On their home turf, it doesn't seem too difficult to hold on to a draw if you're a little more positive......

Even Dick didn't think of this, he originally thought that leading a giant like Inter Milan, Tardelli should be more positive, at least not because he just wanted to qualify - he has always thought that pure recycling defense is the most untechnical, and it is also the easiest to pin hope on luck, because no matter how hard you recycle, even if you put a bus in front of the goal, it is impossible to let all the goal routes be blocked, as long as there is an accident, an oversight, It would be possible to put the whole plan in vain......

Even if you defend to the end, you have to use some other ways to keep your back line from constant pressure, or slow down the pace of the opponent's attack, the kind of practice of sticking to the hole from the beginning is not impossible to get a draw, but the probability is always very small......

Hoping for this, it seems that there really is no other way for Tardelli to do so......

From the very beginning of the game, they were constantly recovering their defence and engaging in a devastating style of play that made the Atletico players feel very uncomfortable, and they were unable to create any good chances in the first 20 minutes, and it was not until 20 minutes later that their attacks began to gradually become dense.

Camoranesi, Jadel, Belleron, Baraja, they all had good shooting opportunities, although they did not score, but let Inter Milan's defense continue to be impacted, the entire first half of Atletico nearly ten shots, while Inter Milan only had one threatening attack, that was a corner, Blanco grabbed Recoba's corner, but his header was in front of the goal Capdevilla, Inter missed such an opportunity.

At halftime, Dick just sneered and said a word.

"In the second half, I pressed the attack with all my strength and beat them to me!"

He didn't just say that, he did it - Cruise was substituted immediately after the start of the second half, the two center forwards began to cause great damage to the opponent's door in the penalty area, and the midfielder did not use any complicated passes, but directly distributed the ball to the wings, and then the two wingers and two full-backs continued to cross the ball, with a series of onslaughts to continue to create pressure, until the goal was scored!

Inter's defence continued until the 70th minute – and Belleron let Inter's hopes begin to dash – when he received the ball 25 metres from goal and fired a low ball that flew quickly against the turf into the penalty area and into the door of Inter Milan from Frei's hand – 1-0! At the same time as breaking the deadlock, Inter Milan's hopes were completely shattered!

Atletico did not make the mistake of the first game, they still maintained a considerable concentration of attention, and at the same time they were thinking about attacking while strengthening the interception in the midfield, and only three minutes later, their quick counterattack worked again, Cruise cleverly passed the ball to Jardel, who scored on the left side of the penalty area, 2-0, and Atletico completely established the victory!

"No more suspense! It will be Atletico Madrid who will advance! Inter Milan's performance is terrible! They were only interested in keeping the draw, and after being scored by Atletico, they swarmed forward like a swarm of headless flies, only to be easily attacked by Atletico Madrid, who played a beautiful counter-attack...... It's time for Inter to change and at least need a more consistent squad......"

When the final whistle blew, the angry Inter fans began throwing debris into the stadium, and some fans rushed down the stands, only to be chased back by the police at the scene, and the Inter players and manager Tardelli had to flee back to the dressing room under the protection of the police, leaving behind the celebratory Atletico players......
