While the tryst between the two sides was "affectionate", with Mourinho's agent Mendes also involved, the "special one" also had a lot of constructive suggestions on how Barcelona he will be in charge next season. Jose Mourinho is an exemplary modern coach who was known for his use of computers and video footage to identify weaknesses in his time at Chelsea, and this time he showed the Begiristains a DVD he had prepared for the meeting: it included his analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the current Barcelona team, the specific problems he needs to address once he takes over, and an analysis of the current situation of each player in the squad, as well as some suggestions for strengthening the squad. It is said that this DVD made a very strong impression on Begiristan.
The two sides almost agreed, and the contract was almost signed. Agent Mendes had hoped to sign a contract of intent during the meeting, but Barcelona refused because it would affect the team's results in the second half of the season. As a result, there is only a verbal agreement between the two sides at the moment.
Normally, there would be no more surprises when things get to this point, everyone is decent people, but Barcelona did such an unseemly thing that they abandoned their promise and appointed Pep Guardiola, who had no first-team coaching experience, as the new manager.
Being replaced by such a rookie, whose highest achievement in his coaching career was to win the Europa League as an assistant coach to Lee Seung-bong, has already made the arrogant Mourinho very angry, and he thought that he would be able to return home. But what made him even more angry was that Barcelona's subsequent signings turned out to be based on the advice he had in his previous CD, such as Alves, such as Keita.
What's too much is that after this incident was poked out, Barcelona didn't admit it, and it was really shameless. However, it is not surprising that Barcelona has done a lot of shameless things over the years, such as seducing target players to fall out with their original club and buy them at a low price, which is common. Now they are still eye-to-head with Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas, trying to get the midfield commander cheaply.
Jose Mourinho, who was put on the side by Barcelona, finally chose Bayern Munich, he vowed never to be the manager of Barcelona in the future, he only wanted to beat him with his own hands.
However, Pep Guardiola has done a good job this season, not only winning the league title early, but also attracting a lot of praise in world football for his spectacle-filled pass-and-control play. However, Li Chengfeng is not afraid of Barcelona's Tiki-Taka, with the information of later generations, he knows how to deal with this set, at this time Guardiola still pays too much attention to passing control, he doesn't know that football games are about scoring goals after all.
If you want to win against Barcelona, you don't have to fight with them, no one can beat them in this regard compared to Barcelona, who have a tacit understanding. If Inter want to win, they need to work pressing, starting from the top position, blocking passes to Busquets, limiting Barcelona's outfield from the back, forcing Xavi to drop back, interfering with Xavi's organization in midfield, cutting off their midfield, cutting their midfield, making them need more runs and time to pass the ball to the front, and buying time for Inter Milan to organize defense.
Defensively, Barcelona compresses the space, defends as a whole, allows them to fall in midfield and controls their forward contact points. Offensively, he abandoned the midfield organization and focused on the wings, and quickly advanced to the front. Capitalise on Barcelona's weakness of not being good at heading to get set-pieces and headers.
That's basically it, the weakness of Barcelona's style of play is the quick counterattack on the wings, and Inter Milan's two wings can be said to be the most powerful combination in the world right now, and Lee Seung-bong is not afraid of the invincible cosmic team Barcelona in the real world.
The match was held in Rome, Italy, on 28 May, and Lee Seung-bong changed his line-up, replacing Alonso with Luka Modric in the starting line-up. Alonso may be a master of playmaking, but his organisational skills alone are no match for Barcelona's luxurious midfielders, while Luka Modric's running ability can help limit Busquets' delivery up front.
Barcelona launched an attack at the start of the game, Alves crossed through and Eto'o's low shot from 10 yards on the right side of the penalty area was saved by Cesar. Soon Inter Milan returned the color, cleared the corner and played a counter-attack, Ribery Muller returned the pass from the left side of the penalty area, and Modric's push from 12 yards in front of the goal was blocked by Pique who fell to the ground and blocked sideways.
Inter Milan took the lead in the seventh minute, Modric took a corner kick, Klose headed in from 10 yards in front of the goal, Valdés flew to save the ball but could not prevent the goalkeeper from falling, 1-0.
In order to pursue possession, Barcelona's players have excellent skills, but their body is average, set-piece defense and header defense have always been their weaknesses, and Li Chengfeng has also done special training, and today finally has a harvest.
Barcelona, unwilling to lose, stepped up their attack, and in the 8th minute, McCone was pushed down by Messi in a scramble. In the 13th minute, Keita split the ball to the right side, and Messi's left-footed long-range shot was blocked. In the 18th minute, Keita crossed diagonally over the top from a long distance, and Eto'o stopped the ball in the box to hit the goal, but the handball took the lead.
1 minute later, Xavi turned around with the ball on his back, broke through to the penalty area before the direct pass was blocked, Inter Milan quickly counterattacked, divided the side to the right side, Robben quickly advanced, passed the ball diagonally to the penalty area, Klose headed the goal, the ball flew straight to the top left corner of the goal, Valdés showed bravery, flew with his fingers to pull the ball out of the bottom line, Inter Milan almost expanded the score.
Although Inter Milan's counterattack was sharp, Barcelona, who were behind, still insisted on attacking. In the 22nd minute, Alves crossed from the right, Pedro got rid of McCone before the penalty spot, and volleyed with his right foot, the ball grazed the right post. Five minutes later, Robben made a quick break down the right and Pedro chased back for a tactical foul and was booked.
In the 27th minute, there was a controversial scene on the field, when Mascherano blocked Busquets behind him when he scrambled, his hand touched Busquets's face, only a light touch, but Busquets fell to the grass as if he had been hit by a fist, covered his face with his hands, turned over, and did not move.
Referee De Brick sent off Mascherano with a red card, and the big screen on the sidelines recorded Busquets secretly removing his finger and watching the referee show his card, which drew boos from the stands.
Li Chengfeng pointed to his eyes on the sidelines and the repeated images on the big screen to question the referee's decision, but he could not change the fact that Mascherano was sent off, so he could only laugh and protest helplessly on the sidelines.
This is not the first time Barcelona have benefited from the referee, with several misdecisions in their semi-final against Chelsea in their favour. In particular, the apparent handball in the box of Samuel Eto'o before the end of the period was allowed to lead directly to Chelsea's elimination. If the penalty is correctly awarded and Chelsea are awarded and scored, Barcelona will be eliminated.
Lee Seung-bong had to change his tactics and replace Modric with Diarra to maintain the defensive intensity in midfield, while the task of interfering with Busquets was handed over to the retreating Klose, and Inter Milan recycled the formation and compressed Barcelona's passing space.
In the 32nd minute, Busquets went straight in front, Messi took the ball on the right side and cut in, curled the ball with his left foot, and Cesar saved the ball from the bottom line with his fingertips. In the 39th minute, Alves stopped a long pass in the penalty area, and Eto'o on the right side of the penalty area stopped the ball and volleyed it out of the bottom line with his body.
In the 42nd minute, Robben strained his leg in front of the defense, but Barcelona continued to attack, Pedro crossed diagonally to the middle, and Messi broke the net with a twisted header, which is really rare in terms of his height.
Li Chengfeng is also very helpless about this conceded goal, Messi can score with a header, what else is there to say.
The score became 1:1, Barcelona equalized, and Lee Seungfeng had to replace the injured Robben with Zivo and play a back three.
Barcelona continued to attack after half-time, but Inter Milan defended very hard, and they didn't have much space to cross, and although there was an extra man on the pitch, there were not many dangerous shots on goal.
In the 51st minute, Samuel Eto'o fired a cross from the right and four minutes later, Alves' long-range shot from outside the box went wide. In the 57th minute, Xavi's long-range shot flew again. Alves then crossed and Keita was deflected wide by Diarra's interference.
Pep Guardiola began to make adjustments, replacing Samuel Eto'o with Bojan and Hefren for Sergio Busquets, reducing a midfield and adding a striker. This is also learned from Li Chengfeng, when it is time to work hard, not to mention that there is one less person in Inter Milan on the field.
However, Eto'o was unhappy with his substitution, and he ignored Pep Guardiola's overtures and went straight back to the dressing room. But now no one cares about that, all eyes are on the pitch and who will win in the end.
In the 72nd minute, Keita's left-footed long-range shot went high again. Inter players gathered in the penalty area, and Barcelona's attack could not penetrate into the box at all, and there was no chance to shoot from a distance. In the 77th minute, Bojan broke through from the left and crossed, and Zivo grabbed the ball before Pedro at the back post to clear the ball.
One less Inter Milan finally failed to hold on to the end, in the 83rd minute, Messi crossed in front of the penalty area, Xavi plugged it straight, Pique successfully countered offside on the left side of the penalty area, stopped the ball and turned around to deceive the attacking Cesar and the defender of the sliding tackle, and swept the empty goal with his right foot, 2-1.
Li Chengfeng had no choice but to replace Balotelli in an attempt to fight to the death, but there was not much time left, and there was one less person on the field, and he still couldn't get it back, and finally Inter Milan could only fall again in the Champions League final with a score of 1:2.
