Before the game began, almost everyone thought it would be a confrontation between Inter's attack and Chelsea's defence – and once the game started, it was.

If this is a Champions Cup final, or a Champions Cup knockout match, there may be more tactical changes and calculations between the two sides - the state, the mentality, the situation...... However, in such a game, for both sides, it is more important to play their own strength and win, focusing on the game itself, rather than anything else, so it seems more direct!

In this respect, it is a very good move for UEFA to put Inter Milan and Chelsea in a group and let them meet in the second round, at this time, both sides have won in the first round, there are no worries, it is natural to pay more attention to the game itself, and it is easier to have a classic game!

Inter Milan attack, Chelsea defend, is the most basic tone of this game, but this tone does not mean that Chelsea will stick to the half, and Inter Milan will not blindly attack regardless of their own backline......

It was Chelsea who kicked off the game first, and two minutes later, they completed their first attack of the game when Duff came to the middle and played a straight pass to Drogba in front, who tried to pick the ball past Materazzi, but was cleared by a well-timed jumping header to block Chelsea's attack.

The ball was picked up by Mascherano, and the Argentine immediately passed the ball to Sneijder next to him, Sneijder turned and controlled the ball under the pressure of Lampard, and then passed to Figo, who retreated to get the ball, Figo broke through from midfield with the ball, and passed the ball to Adriano before Essien pressed up, Adriano received the ball and turned around and immediately took a long shot, which was blocked by the late Makelele who raised his foot to block the ball.

'Inter's attack was stopped in midfield...... Chelsea's defense is indeed very strong, Essien runs and strangles, Makelele observes the opponent's passing route to block, and Inter Milan wants to attack, first of all, they have to go through Chelsea's steel midfield! ”

Dick frowned slightly, he knew how tough Chelsea were in midfield this season, but ...... Attacking doesn't necessarily have to be played from midfield, but also from the flanks – and Chelsea are a weakness right now.

Ferreira, as Mourinho's descendant, came with the aura of the best right-back in the Champions League that year, but after joining Chelsea, he has not been able to play well on the right side, the defense is okay, and there is almost no achievement in attack, but Dick does not want to open the gap from this side, he wants to attack the left side of Chelsea.

Galla, a defender, has first-class physical fitness, but he often makes brain twitches on the field, and he thinks very highly that he is the top three in the world when he plays central defender, and he thinks that Mourinho can't look down on him when he plays fullback in Chelsea......

In fact, Mourinho has been doing very well in Chelsea, but he has always been a weakness in the two fullbacks, Johnson and Bridge, who could have been used, are good fullbacks, but these two people are typical fullbacks who want to attack and not defend, which naturally does not meet Mourinho's appetite, after bringing Ferreira, the right side can only be regarded as safe, and later replaced by Bosingwa, and the left-back is a marquee-like substitution, whether it is Bridge, Gala or Orno, They were all average, and it was only after the arrival of Ashley Kerr that this side stabilized - but Kerr is still at Arsenal now, and Dick can make this side his focus on attacking.

So from now on, the most important link in Inter Milan's attack is not others, but the veteran Figo, the previous game rested Figo, and the last game was to let Figo play for 70 minutes, all for this game to make arrangements, the previous rest made Figo's physical fitness not a problem, the last game against Fiorentina let him play 70 minutes is a kind of warm-up, in fact, Figo's current state is also very good.

However, before that, Chelsea's frantic pressing in the midfield also put a lot of pressure on Inter Milan, at least Sneijder was a little uncomfortable with this rhythm - in the seventh minute, Essien's pressing in the midfield made Sneijder mispossess the ball, and after breaking the ball, Essian planned to continue to move forward, but Sneijder quickly turned and fouled Essien to avoid the threat of conceding the goal.

For this, Sneijder received the first yellow card of the game.

"Don't take it personally, get it! Next, pay more attention to your side! Dick yelled at the court, and Sneijder turned his head and nodded at the court, then stepped back with his back crossed over.

It's not that he hasn't played in the Champions Cup, he played in the Champions Cup last season, but this level of confrontation is indeed rare, and the pressure brought by Chelsea's midfield has not been able to do it before!

Sneijder took a deep breath, such a stage is the stage that can best train people, and it is also the stage that can show the value of a player!

"Don't worry, Wesley, if you lose the ball, I'll have me behind you." Mascherano patted Sneijder on the shoulder and said to him.

Snead nodded, "I see, but I won't keep you busy." ”

The place where Sneijder fouled was about 30 meters away from the goal, and Chelsea also had a lot of players who could score the ball in the free kick at this distance, so Inter Milan did not dare to slack off, and the players in the front court have returned to the defense to form a human wall, with Adriano and Toney, two big and tall men, to form a human wall, it is still very difficult to cross the human wall......

However, Lampard is in good form, he did not want to kick the ball over the wall, but chose to shoot directly into the far corner, where Cesar is standing - such a powerful shot to score actually has a chance, as long as the angle is tricky enough, the speed is fast enough, if the goalkeeper subconsciously moves to the middle, most likely there is a chance to score!

Cesar didn't misjudge the situation, making a brilliant save and narrowly slotting the ball out of the line.

Lampard took a corner, Cesar's attack was a little reckless, he only found that the ball was a little far away from him after he attacked, he could only barely jump up and punch the ball out of the penalty area, the follow-up Essien did not stop the ball and shot directly from a distance, Mascherano rushed out diagonally, and directly blocked Essien's heavy bombardment with his body!

The ball rolled out sideways, Sneijder quickly got the ball first, saw Essien pressing up from behind, he deftly knocked the ball with his heel, knocked the ball past Essien, and then quickly turned around and rushed past Essien!

Essien immediately turned for a foul and knocked Sneijder to the ground, and of course he was also whistled for a foul, but the referee did not show Essien a yellow card, which caused boos in the stands, and Inter Milan fans thought it was biased in favor of Chelsea......

However, in fact, Sneijder's foul was to stop the opponent's attack, while Essien's foul was carried out in the opponent's half, and it is normal not to give a yellow card.

Mourinho shouted twice on the sidelines, thinking that Essien did not foul - this is also the way he is used to, using the shouts from the sidelines to put pressure on the referee, Dick snorted in his nose, although he often does this kind of thing, but others do it, he still feels a little uncomfortable......

In the next game, the scramble between the two sides began to be more intense, and the game was constantly interrupted by fouls - this is what Chelsea wants to see, they are better at winning in chaos, but Inter Milan is not without a way, Sneijder reduced his time to get the ball in the backfield, but passed the ball to Figo and others as soon as possible, and directly created a threat to the opponent's door through the interception of the opponent's midfield.

In the 11th minute, Lampard fouled Figo in a tackle, Inter Milan won a free kick near the touchline, Figo himself took the free kick, the ball flew into the penalty area, Materazzi on the back post intended to head the goal, but the timely Cech rushed to hit the ball with a single fist, Ferreira took the ball at the back post, when Perrotta pressed up, he chose to clear the front field with a big foot, Duff received the ball and intended to create a chance by dribbling, Zanetti entangled him, and finally succeeded in breaking the ball.

In the 17th minute, Figo won the ball on the flank and cut cross, attracting the attention of the opposition and passing the ball horizontally, Adriano followed up with a powerful shot, but it was slightly higher than the crossbar under the timely interference of Makelele.

In the eighteenth minute, Chelsea counter-attacked, Ferreira played a long ball from the back, Materazzi made a mistake with a header, Lampard fired straight from the edge of the box, and Cordoba also made a timely interference, and Lampard fired over the crossbar.

Cesar quickly kicked the goal, Zanetti received the ball and passed the ball to Sneijder in the middle, and then stepped forward, Sneijder ran forward after handing the ball to Perrotta, Perrotta passed back, Sneijder did not stop the ball and passed directly diagonally to the side, Zanetti received Sneijder's pass on the side, and before Ferreira came up, he raised his foot and passed the ball to the penalty area, Tony jumped up at the front point to cross the header, and Adriano who followed in the back row was going to receive the ball in the penalty area!

At this time, Galla, who had returned from outside the penalty area, struggled to make a tackle, and he tripped Adriano - when Adriano fell in the box, countless Inter fans jumped up from the stands: "Foul! Penalty kick! ”

Dick cried out in the same way, shouting, "Punish that fellow!" Mourinho pointed to his eyes on the sidelines and shouted at the field: "He faked a fall!" Referee, that guy is faking a fall! ”

The referee didn't bother with the entanglement on the sidelines, and when the players from both sides poured in, the referee, Swiss Bussaka, made a move that made the Inter fans extremely unhappy - he blew the whistle, but then pointed to the corner flag area - corner kick!

"It's a foul!" Dick shouted from the sidelines, and at this time, the live broadcast immediately gave a slow-motion replay......

"Hmm...... In slow motion, Adriano touched the ball first, then Gara's tackle tripped Adriano before knocking it off the line...... This is a misjudgment, strictly speaking, Inter Milan should have won a penalty, but Adriano's body blocked the referee's view, and Galla's body blocked the linesman's view, so it is understandable that the referee would be more cautious in awarding a penalty in such an important game......
