Chapter 282: First Champions League Final Goal

At the start of the second half, Ricardo found that although Liverpool did not make substitutions, their tactics had changed in a new way.

If in the first half they had to retreat to protect themselves because of Ronaldo's outstanding individual ability, then in the second half they consciously took the initiative to recover.

Even the two full-backs, Reese and Luis. Garcia also regained into the corner of the box, leaving only Mitchell and Barosh up front.

It seems that they are planning to fight for a draw and then use the physical advantage of extra time to decide the winner. After all, the Premier League has ended, and Liverpool has long had no hope of winning the championship in the league, so they gave up early, and the main players were well rested.

And when it came time to fight back, Luis. Garcia often picked up the ball on the flanks and broke through to the middle, creating a numerical advantage in the middle, so that the quality of their counter-attacks was not bad at all.

Mancini watched for a few minutes, shouting from the sidelines to slow down the players.

Since Liverpool is not in a hurry, he is not in a hurry. At this time, the comparison is patience, and whoever loses patience first to expose flaws is likely to bear the consequences.

Even as Inter's attacking tempo slowed, Ronaldo still threatened his opponents from time to time.

Correspondingly, Adriano's form is really bad. Before Christmas, he definitely had the quality of a world-class player, but as soon as Christmas passed, his form immediately declined, and now he only maintains the level of the middle and upper reaches of the continental level.

Now his role on the pitch is to use the advantage of being strong and strong to fight against Liverpool's muscular defenders and create openings for Ronaldo. I have to say that he has done a good job of this. So Mancini continued to trust him and did not immediately replace Ricardo.

In the 51st minute, Ronaldo passed the ball to Adriano in the box, Adriano acted as a "wall" this time, he knocked the ball back to Ronaldo, who had used his speed to get rid of Carragher and fired a shot at the top of the arc that was slightly off the post.

In the 53rd minute, Cambiaso picked up the ball in front of the penalty area and stuffed it to Ronaldo. Ronaldo turned his back to Carragher, slyly slipped the ball and took advantage of the situation to pass Carragher and get the ball. As he was in the box, Carragher didn't dare to make a big move, but Traore quickly pounced to make up for it.

Before Traore arrived, Ronaldo played a low ball down the middle and Adriano grabbed the spot, but he was on the back foot in Xavi. Alonso's interference was a bit fierce and shot the ball into the plane.

In the 56th minute, Liverpool counterattacked, and the ball was handed to Luiz on the right side. Garcia. Garcia sprinted with the ball and decisively played the ball down the middle in the face of a block, and Barosh didn't swoop it up after taking the ball, but handed it to Smitchell. Smitchell flicked a cross and Gerrard rushed up to a high-quality long-range shot, but fortunately Toldo was focused, a brilliant side pounce to beat the ball out, and Zanetti returned to the position to clear the ball.

The game went on slowly, and soon came to the 58th minute. Benitez made a second substitution, replacing Baros with Cisse.

French striker Cisse is very fast and very good for counter-attacking.

Mancini frowned slightly, his opponent was determined to set up the bus, and he was also a little helpless.

In fact, to play positional battles, an organized player like Veron is very crucial, but Veron still does not pass the ball to the Brazilians, which leads to Inter Milan's positional battle is very sluggish.

After thinking for a while, he turned back to Ricardo and said, "You go and warm up." โ€

Ricardo jumped to his feet, quickly took off his coat, and began the warm-up activities.

In the 61st minute, Ricardo came off the bench, and before he came on, Mancini grabbed his arm and said: "Listen, I want your position to drop back a little bit, do a good job of organizing the tandem up front." Don't blindly chase the ball, I allow you to hold the ball properly and use your dribbling to open up the situation. I also allow you to shoot from distance when the time is right, and I'm sure you can get the timing right. Also, when you come on the pitch tell Ronnie to drop back a little bit and put Adriano at the front. It doesn't matter if Carragher doesn't come out with him, it's better to go out with him, you have to make good use of the vacated position in Carragher. โ€

Ricardo nodded repeatedly.

Veron trotted to the sideline with a depressed look, did not high-five Ricardo, did not speak to Mancini, did not even return to the bench, but walked straight into the tunnel of players.

Now there is another topic in the media after the game.

However, it is understandable that no one wants to be substituted in such a crucial game, especially Veron, who claims to be the absolute core of Inter Milan and the brain of the midfield.

After Ricardo came on to relay Mancini's words, he ran for a while, his pace and nimble dribbling causing confusion in Liverpool's formation.

In the 67th minute, Licardo took the ball in the middle, he took a few steps laterally, suddenly accelerated, broke through Gerrard's defense, came to the right side of the Liverpool penalty area, and then did not blindly pass to the center of the penalty area, but lightly distributed it to Zanetti, who inserted an assist on the right side, and ran to the middle.

Zanetti took one look, made a cross that tricked Traore in front of him into lifting his leg and then passing the ball towards the bottom line of the box.

Ronaldo was plugging in at high speed, and Carragher was obviously unable to keep up with Ronaldo's rhythm and clumsily chased after Ronaldo.

After stopping the ball with his right foot near the baseline, Ronaldo stepped on the ball with his left foot and pulled it back to avoid Carragher's tackle, and then went forward.

Liverpool's defenders immediately became nervous, with Hyypia and Xavi immediately getting nervous. Alonso immediately came up to block, causing a brief void in front of goal.

Ronaldo did not miss the opportunity, he immediately passed the ball with his left foot to the middle, passed a half-high ball, Adriano met the ball with a blast, everyone thought the goal was going to score, and a huge exclamation sounded in the stands, which was what the Liverpool fans were worried about.

But Adriano's close-range shot bounced straight into Dudek's chest.

Liverpool's players were too late to be afraid, and chased the ball to the landing point one by one to clear the siege.

But a figure in a blue-and-black quiver rushed to the landing point one step ahead of them, and shot at the ball, Dudek was still in the aftermath of the strong impact, dizzy, he barely made a save, but did not touch the ball, and the football rushed into the net with great force, setting off a white wave.

"Adriano shoots, it's blocked, and! Ricardo! Goal๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ Licardo, who has just come on the field, pierced Dudek's ten fingers with his first shot! Inter Milan overtook the score, and now it is the 67th minute of the second half, the score is 2:1, and Inter Milan leads! โ€

"Inter's attack was very fluid, with Ricardo breaking through beautifully and splitting the ball, Zanetti finding Ronaldo, who was cutting in at high speed, and Ronaldo made a good pass and then passed the ball down the middle. Adriano's powerful shot was blocked, but Ricardo immediately made up for the goal. โ€

"In this title race, Inter Milan has the lead! With less than 30 minutes left in stoppage time, the Liverpudlians still have a chance, but they have to act now! โ€

Immediately after finishing the shot, Ricardo turned and started to run, running to the sideline and kneeling, his hands raised in the air. This is the first time in his life that he has scored in a Champions League final!
