"Welcome to the first leg of the quarter-finals of the 06-07 UEFA Champions League! The match was played at the Meazza Stadium against the home team Inter Milan and the away team Valencia! Inter Milan have already set the record for the longest league record in the top five leagues this season, while Valencia's recent form has not been particularly good, and they have almost no hope of winning the league title! And Inter Milan have almost no opponents in the league...... It's just that Inter Milan took the lead in this game at home, which was a relatively unfavorable situation for them. Valencia fielded all their main players in this game, goalkeeper Canizares, Miguel and Moretti on the flanks, Ayala and Albiol at centre-back, Marchena and Albelda in midfield, Angulo on the right and David Silva on the left. The forward partner is the homegrown forward partner of Morientes and Villa, this lineup is already the strongest squad in Valencia, and Inter Milan sent the same 442 formation, goalkeeper Cesar, right-back McConn, left-back Zanetti, and the central defender sent a partner of Materazzi and Córdoba, Cannavaro was unable to play due to a minor injury. In midfield, Mascherano, Sneijder and Stankovic form a back three, Figo stands out alone, and the forward partners are Ibrahimovic and Toney! This is also the main lineup of Inter Milan, except for Perrotta sitting on the bench, the other main players are on the field, and Inter Milan on the bench are Toldo, Chiellini, Abeloa, Yaya Toure, Perrotta, Cruz and Di Natale! From the thickness of the bench, it can be seen that Inter Milan this season is indeed unprecedentedly strong, and they have no opponents at all in Serie A! Although they will play at home first, it is estimated that Inter Milan will also attack from the beginning......"

In the shouts of the commentators, players from both sides entered the field - the commentator's words were not wrong, Inter Milan did attack from the beginning, and Valencia was defense-oriented, and Marchena appeared in the position of the back to strengthen the defense, the attacker was only four front-court players, Angulo involved Inter Milan's offensive pressure by running, Silva was responsible for organizing and breaking through, Morientes was at the front to interfere with Inter Milan's defense, and Villa was ready to look for opportunities at any time- Such a lineup is a standard defensive counterattack lineup.

For a team that is excellent in attack, breaking the iron bucket formation is a problem, not to mention that Valencia is notoriously strong defensively, this toughness has started since the Cooper era, Cooper, Benitez, Ranieri, are all defensive managers, so that Valencia's defensive vein has been extended, has formed a tradition, they are not not going to lose, but often difficult to lose, because their defense is difficult to break.

For Inter Milan, this is a test, and it is a strict test that has not been really tested before, this season in history, Inter Milan is because of the smooth sail before, so that when facing Valencia, in a very good situation, but very depressed to lose the game, the lessons of the past are there, and I can't help but let Dick be vigilant.

Even if Dick is arrogant, he is only arrogant in strategy, in terms of specific tactics, he has not despised any opponent, sixteen consecutive wins are not just a few people on the field can be done, targeted tactical arrangement, is one of the reasons why he has been able to become the world's top head coach until now.

Valencia's defense is really good, Portuguese defender Miguel and Italian defender Moretti are both better defensive players, Albiol although he later did not perform well in Real Madrid, that is because of Real Madrid's tactics - he is a player with excellent frontal defensive ability, but he is a little slow to turn, such a player can perform well in defensive tactics, and it is a little lacking in open tactics, and Valencia uses defensive tactics - these three defenders are not top defenders, However, they all have excellent defensive ability, and with the organization of experienced Ayala, their backline is quite solid.

Coupled with the defensive complements of Albelda and Marchena in front of them, it is very difficult to break such a formation, which is also a test of Inter Milan's attacking system.

After the start of the game, Inter Milan did not rush to attack, facing Valencia who put on a defensive posture, they attacked patiently.

'Inter should be confident that they are unbeaten in the knockout stages of European competition since Dick took over! And in the history of Inter Milan, they have never lost at home against La Liga teams, even Real Madrid lost a 1-3 at the Meazza Stadium, whether it is strength or form, they are above Valencia, we can expect to see a victory. ”

Through the back and forth pass, Inter Milan quickly created opportunities, Ibrahimovic took the ball and faced the entanglement of the opponent, he quickly passed the ball back, Figo received the ball and distributed it to the left side, Zanetti, who inserted the assist, forced through Miguel's defense and crossed, Tony inserted in the middle attracted the attention of the opponent's two defenders, but the ball flew over their heads, and Stankovic, who was inserted in the back row, shook his head directly against the falling ball!

Amid the sighs of the Inter fans, Stankovic's header went wide of the near post and the header was slightly deflected.

Dick slapped his face and sat back, Zanetti's breakthrough was beautiful, but the cross was still a little off, otherwise the header would have been more threatening - but don't worry, the game has just begun, Inter have chances, as long as they can take them......

However, Valencia's defense was indeed relatively strong, and after the attack in the opening three minutes, Valencia only allowed Inter Milan to find another chance to shoot in the 10th minute - Sneijder, who was inserted, received a ball from Ibrahimovic on the left and crossed diagonally into the box, Toni scrambled to shoot before the two central defenders of the opposing side, and the ball grazed the near post and flew off the line.

In the eleventh minute, Sneijder's shot from the edge of the penalty area was blocked by Ayala on the goal line, Albiol's big foot cleared and flew to the midfield, Mascherano grabbed the ball in front of Silva and handed it to Stankovic, who forced a breakthrough along the right side and crossed!

The ball drew a curve ball and flew straight to the back point, Ibrahimovic plugged in from the back row, and shook his head directly against the falling ball!

With a "bell", the ball smashed heavily on the inside of the post, and then bounced into the penalty area, Tony followed up and planned to make up the shot, but Ayala who returned to the defense in time cleared the ball with a big foot!

"It's dangerous! Inter's attack was so ferocious that they created three or four good chances in ten minutes! If it weren't for luck, they would have scored a goal, and Valencia's defense, although excellent, did not seem to be able to stop Inter's attack...... If Inter Milan are the first to score, then Valencia will be in danger......"

Flores clenched his fists on the sidelines, he didn't expect Inter Milan's attack to be so strong, even if Valencia used defensive tactics from the beginning, they still created so many chances - these are enough to bring goals to the goal! If this continues, let alone try to win away from home, I am afraid that it will not be possible to lose less away from home......

However, now that the game has only passed more than ten minutes, it is easy for the players to be confused if they adjust it now, and it is also Valencia's luck that they did not concede a goal before, and Inter Milan's next attack may be relaxed, after all, no team can maintain high-speed pressure all the time......

Sure enough, after a few minutes, Inter's attack began to slow down gradually, and the next two shots were from outside the box, Ibrahimovic and Zanetti were saved by Canizares from outside the box, and Valencia's attack began to gradually pick up.

Villa and Silva each had a shot to threaten the door of Inter Milan, but Inter Milan is very protective in the penalty area, both shots are from outside the box, of which Silva's shot is off the line, Villa's shot is saved by Cesar, Morientes has not been able to create any chances under Materazzi's defense, and can only continue to fight Materazzi in the penalty area......

After a period of adjustment, Inter Milan launched another onslaught after the 25th minute of the game! Now they have two players up front who can get the ball, whether it's Ibrahimovic or Figo, the other players will run back and forth to create chances, and behind them is Sneijder who constantly sends passes to the front, which is the core of Inter Milan's attack.

Figo cut inside in front of the ball and was brought down by Ayala, and Ibrahimovic hit a direct free-kick high of the goal.

McCone broke through to create a corner, Figo headed in a corner and Materazzi's header was saved by Canizares.

Figo was brought down by Albelda on the flank again, and Albelda received a yellow card that made him miss the next leg, and Dick nodded slightly - the advantage is just accumulating little by little.

Figo stood in front of the ball, and the Inter players rushed into the box one by one, ready to grab points at any time.

Figo took a deep breath, he played a little less this season than he did last season because his fitness had begun to decline, but at this point in shape he was in good shape.

The right foot touches the ball and makes a beautiful arc in the air, flying straight to the front point!

Ibrahimovic rushed to the front point and used his body to carry Albiol who was defending him, although Albiol was desperately defending Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic still touched the ball at the first time, with an irregular shot, and hooked the ball directly to the gate with his ankle!

Canizares made a brilliant save and turned sideways to block the ball!

When the Inter fans began to sigh, a figure appeared in front of the rolling ball and volleyed directly into the ball!

The ball flew into Valencia's door without any suspense! It was Sneijder who scored! Under the cover of so many big men in the penalty area, the diminutive Sneijder appeared exactly where the ball landed and made up the ball directly into the gate of Valencia!

The stands suddenly burst into cheers from the Inter fans, and after half an hour of waiting, Inter Milan's attack finally tore through Valencia's defense! Such a goal may be able to bring victory to Inter Milan!

"The ball is in! Wesley Sneijder! Beautiful goal! Inter Milan take the lead! Valencia is in trouble now! Their defence was not able to stop Inter's attack, so what do they do next? ”
