Chapter 564: Arrogant Dick
I have to say that Benitez has accurately grasped the focus of this game, and his psychological speculation of the opponent is also very in place, Inter Milan has played all the way to the present with a vigorous attack, and the momentum has reached its peak, for this momentum, it is useless to just avoid, but it can stop their momentum, Inter Milan has almost no first half in the recent game, as long as they score in the first half, even if they are behind, it will not have any impact on them, However, if Liverpool can use defense to make Inter Milan not score a goal in the first half, then this momentum of Inter Milan will suffer a serious setback, and at this time, it is Liverpool's chance!
Halfway through the first half, Liverpool have done well so far and their counter-attacks are not without threat, so if they can still put the team ahead by the way, then Liverpool will naturally have a better chance of victory.
There is no such thing as a strategy for sure victory, only an arrangement to increase the likelihood of victory, and Benitez made such an arrangement with this purpose in mind.
Compared with Benitez's somewhat proud mood, Dick seemed much calmer at this time, he knew what Benitez was thinking at this time, and he also knew that if he really failed to score in the first half, then the blow to Inter Milan would be really big, this is not something that can be adjusted by any psychological adjustment, he chose to rush all the way to kill, and decisively lead the team to the current road, which is almost the end, and it is naturally impossible to change this way, just like a knife man, All the way to practice the fast knife, all he thinks about is how to make this knife faster and sharper, even if the practice of internal skills will be higher than the current achievement, it is impossible for him to give up his knife before a life and death challenge to practice any internal skills, that will only die faster.
Although half of the first half has passed, Dick is not in a hurry, Liverpool's defense is really good now, but Inter Milan has been attacking through the breakthrough of Figo on the left side during this time, and McCone on the right side has been ignored, and now Inter Milan is waiting for just a bigger opportunity.
For such small details, Dick can be said to be the best at creating, in such a detailed arrangement, he has put a lot of effort into pondering, plus with Marriner as a good helper, Inter Milan in some offensive skills are also quite reliable.
Like now.
After successive attacks on the left, Liverpool's attention has begun to focus on their right side, although they are not so easily deceived, but in such a tense game, their own thoughts will quickly focus on the game, Inter Milan has created so much pressure on this side, their attention must start to focus on this side.
In addition, Liverpool's left-back Reese is not so much a full-back as a wide attacker, and he is very strong defensively, but in terms of calm judgment, it is not his strong point.
When the time came to half an hour into the full game.
Figo picked up the ball again on the left flank, and his ball made Liverpool's defenders start to get nervous, because from the start of the game, Figo was in particularly good shape, and the Portuguese superstar, who was just one cup away from club honours, was very eager for this Champions Cup final, after all, he was a little embarrassed when he left Real Madrid, but Inter Milan got the chance to play in the final, if his form is not good, it will be hell.
And his performances before that proved it, constantly breaking down the flanks, constantly creating chances through his own passes, and in the space of 30 minutes he had five successful breakthroughs, 11 dangerous passes, which is simply amazing.
Now that he's on the ball again, it's no wonder that the Liverpool players aren't nervous.
Finnan, who was the first to go up to defend, was beautifully broken down by Figo, Sissoko retreated to stop his advance, Figo made a sharp stop and turned away, dodging a passing route......
"Stop him!" Benitez couldn't help but shout off the pitch, Figo's scary thing is that he doesn't need to break through or get close to the goal to be a threat, as long as there is room to pass, his passing can always create a threat.
In the penalty area, Ager and Carragher immediately targeted the two strikers of Inter Milan, but Figo did pass the ball, but it was not passed to the penalty area, but directly transferred to the other side in a large area!
Plugged in from that side is McConn! Reese couldn't get his position, and by the time he started to get back into the defence, McCone had already unloaded Figo's pass and started to slash diagonally into the box!
When McCone began to cut diagonally, the two Inter Milan forwards in the box began to run, and the midfielders began to appear in their own positions - Figo came to the left, Stankovic met behind McConn, Sneijder came to the front of the box, and Inter Milan formed four or five contact points in an instant!
And Liverpool's defense is finally a bit messed up now.
Carragher was forced to leave his defensive position to defend McCann, but in doing so, he gave up his marking Toni, and Agg was forced to fill Carragher's position to defend Tony, but left Ibrahimovic alone, and before Sissoko could return to the box to defend Ibrahimovic, McCone had already passed the ball, and the ball flew past the front post and fell directly to the back post!
Ibrahimovic jumped up, met the falling ball, and volleyed directly into the air!
Sissoko's stoppage was a step slow, as was Reina, who pounced, and the ball flew quickly into the Liverpool goal from the near post!
At that moment, all the Inter fans jumped up, and Dick also jumped, he didn't rush to celebrate, but made a throat-cutting motion at Benitez on the other side, and then turned around and waved his arms at the stands!
"The ball is in! Inter Milan open the scoring! After thirty minutes of suppressive attack, Inter Milan finally took the lead! To be honest, with their current performance, it's not normal not to be ahead...... Liverpool's defense lasted thirty minutes, but it still couldn't resist! What will Benitez do? Pressing on the offense? It's not realistic to keep defending! Two years ago, Liverpool won the Champions Cup, not on defense but on attack! If you don't have the courage to attack, where is the Istanbul miracle? Has Benitez lost his bloody nature two years ago? ”
You must know that the commentator is very annoyed by Benitez's conservatism, and the games with him will always become dull, and now that Inter Milan is leading up to expectations, he can seize the opportunity to complain......
However, Benitez still lived up to expectations and did not make any changes, even if he knew that he was indeed fooled now, but he would not change the established policy, and now that he is lagging behind, then he can't be in a hurry, because Inter Milan's arrogance will become more arrogant......
At this time, he can only choose to continue to forbear, it is okay to only fall behind by one goal in the first half, and it is okay to launch a counterattack in the second half, after all, if you fall behind too much in the first half, you can't expect another eight-minute miracle in the second half.
Since the goal of frustrating Inter Milan has not been achieved, then he can only pretend to be a grandson, and Benitez's high-profile before the game is also preparing for this step, with Dick's character, it must be very proud to see people who dare to be arrogant in front of him, and he may not be able to show flaws when the time comes.
Poor Benitez can't help it, in the case of being at a disadvantage, he can only keep calculating, constantly looking for opportunities, looking for the next opportunity if there is no chance, hoping to seize the rhythm of victory......
It's a pity that Dick doesn't intend to give him such a chance, he knows what kind of manager Benitez is, and he also knows that he can't be deceived by any attitude he shows, although Benitez was criticized as "big wet" in later generations, but at this time, he is still an out-and-out master tactician, and he can't give him any chance to deal with such a manager.
So in the next game, Inter Milan continued to attack, constantly passing back and forth and tearing, constantly attacking from both wings and the middle, even if there is a hard wall in front of them, they have to knock this wall open!
Inter Milan's attack is the first in Europe, this is the impression that Dick has left on everyone since he took office, and now, this impression is beginning to be confirmed again, as long as they continue to attack, even the team that defends well cannot let itself not concede goals!
Inter Milan have been attacking continuously throughout the first half, and this attack has continued throughout the first half - which is not something that ordinary teams can do, in terms of fitness, form, coordination, they have reached a peak, and they definitely have the quality to win the treble this season, as long as they are not too unlucky.
Obviously, Inter Milan's luck is not bad, such a special season has given them the idea of winning the treble, and they have continued all the way to the present, and they will never let anyone stand in the way of their idea!
Roma can't do it, AC Milan can't do it, and now Liverpool, too.
Forty-second minute.
Ibrahimovic, who pulled to the side to attack, received a pass from Figo, he took the ball and forced a break through the sandwich of Finnan and Alonso, and then passed the ball to the edge of the penalty area, Sneijder, who was inserted, immediately passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area after receiving the ball, Stankovic received the ball and passed the ball to Tony in the penalty area, and Carragher, who quickly returned to the defense, broke the ball before Tony grabbed the point, but in a hurry he was not able to kick far, the ball fell to the feet of Sneijder, and Sneijder took the opportunity to take the ball into the penalty area. Grab a right-footed shot before Sissoko ventures to let it go!
The ball flew into the Liverpool door like a cannonball! Sneijder's shot from inside the box was fast and powerful at a high angle, and although Reyna reacted, he couldn't stop the ball from flying into the goal!
Two to zero! Inter Milan extended their lead before the end of the first half, and those two goals seemed to prove once again that there is no use in relying on defense in the face of Inter Milan's attack!
Dick waved his fist at the away team's dugout again, and Benitez began to tremble slightly, and now at this time, it seems that there is only one way to go - this bastard is actually arrogant like this......
It's so intolerable!
