After leaving the ICU, Ricardo called Uncle Paul and briefly explained Stella's condition.

In order to prevent Uncle Paul from being overly worried, Ricardo said that Stella had only suffered a minor injury and was hospitalized for two days to be on the safe side, without mentioning that Stella had surgery.

In this way, Uncle Paul was still worried, and after hanging up the phone, he bought a ticket to Italy, which is expected to arrive tomorrow morning.

For the first time in his life, Ricardo was in the hospital, perhaps without thinking about football at all.

If it weren't for Ronaldo, Adriano and others calling him to ask him, he didn't even expect that there would be a game today, and he didn't think about whether this game would affect whether the team could enter the top 4 of the Champions League.

In the afternoon, Stella's agent arrived, it was a middle-aged man with gray hair but still handsome, named Valverde, with a fashionable dress and a decent conversation, if he was ten years younger, Ricardo would definitely have a sense of crisis.

Valverde had only met Ricardo once before, and had not spoken deeply.

He apologized to Ricardo, saying that he had just gotten the news that he should not have let Stella drive back to Milan alone late at night.

After a few polite words, he called and asked a girl from the company to come over to accompany Stella, which freed Ricardo.

When he returned to the hotel at night, Ricardo suddenly remembered the game and turned on the TV to see that Inter Milan was down 0:1 away. The game time was already the second half, the 65th minute.

Ricardo quickly checked the game on his hotel computer and found that it was Stam who scored the goal, and in first-half stoppage time, he beat Córdoba to head past Toldo in Pirlo's free-kick.

In the temporary absence of Ricardo today, Mancini had to field a combination of Ronaldo and Martins. Vieri was in too poor form for Mancini to trust him.

Ronaldo, defended by Stam and Nesta, couldn't get too many chances. But he still used his individual ability to pose some threat to AC Milan's goal, and several shots on goal made Dida very embarrassed. Especially in the 44th minute, he ran to the side to get the ball and shook off Cafu, Gattuso and Nesta in succession, and shot into the far corner, but unfortunately Dida bravely slapped the ball off the line.

In addition, Mihajlovic's two free kicks are also of high quality, but Dida has the help of God today, high to resist, and try to keep the goal from conceding.

The commentary said that judging from the first half, the two teams should be evenly matched, and Inter Milan is not inferior to the opponent at both offensive and defensive ends, and even slightly better. But AC Milan were clearly a little bit more lucky, or a little better at taking their chances.

Ricardo withdrew his gaze from the computer screen and continued to watch the game live.

By this time, Mancini had replaced Martins with Vieri, who used his strong body to attack AC Milan's defence and support Ronaldo.

With Cambiasso, Veron and Stankovic all pressed on the side in midfield, leaving only C. Zanetti in defence and two full-backs, Zanetti and Favali also providing frequent assists, it was clear that Mancini was determined to score away goals.

Mancini then made another substitution, replacing the in-form Veron with Euro 2004 winners, Greek Karagounis.

Seeing this substitution, Ricardo rolled his eyes. Karagounis has only made one appearance at Inter Milan this season, and his form is hard to guarantee, so it would be better to replace him with Cruz as a striker.

Sure enough, Karagunis, who had just come on, made two mistakes on the ball, and then a clumsy defense allowed Shevchenko to drive straight down the flank, and Mihajlovic had to push him down to defuse the danger.

Pirlo took the free-kick, and Ricardo couldn't help but get nervous, this position is quite good, and AC Milan has several high points, on the contrary, Inter Milan's back line is not tall enough, and it is very bad.

Pirlo took the free-kick in a wide arc and Stam burst forward to take Mihajlovic and C. Zanetti out, but the ball flew past his head and into the middle.

Shevchenko got ahead of Cordoba and headed in the far corner, but Toldo couldn't react.

"Shevchenko goal! It was his 12th goal against Inter Milan in six years, an average of 2 goals per season, and he is Inter's nemesis! Stam caught the attention of Inter Milan on two high points at the front point, Shevchenko set up an ambush in the middle and scored easily, and AC Milan led 2-0! Inter Milan have to work hard right away, otherwise the score will be quite detrimental to their next leg. ”

Inter Milan fell behind by two goals, and Ricardo's mood became anxious. Although he was not on the field, this game was also very relevant to him.

In the following period, Inter Milan played quite impatiently, and the players fouled continuously. Mancini quickly replaced C. Zanetti with Donny van der Meyde, playing in a 424 formation and desperately trying to score an away goal. Ancelotti, on the other hand, was there, replacing Crespo with Ambrosini and playing 451 to defend and counterattack.

Ricardo watched the last few minutes of the game almost standing.

In the 87th minute, Van der Meyde received a pass from Stankovic on the left flank, he flicked the ball and immediately crossed to the back post. Karagunis chested the ball on the right side of the box, but it was a bit wide, he chased after it quickly, and near the baseline he caught up with the ball, and before Maldini could break it, he fired a right-footed volley from a tight angle, which bounced off the outside of the post.

Ricardo hugged his head and sighed.

In the 89th minute, Shevchenko fired a left-footed volley from 20 meters in front of the goal, which was lifted off the crossbar by Toldo.

Pirlo took a tactical corner, Kaka defended the ball and stalled near the baseline, and Calagounis pushed and squeezed the ball off to find Vieri with a long pass.

Vieri didn't make a mistake this time, he headed the ball down to Stankovic, who immediately plugged in to Ronaldo, who was inserting at high speed, forming a short 2-on-2 situation.

Ronaldo dribbled the ball at high speed, Maldini didn't dare to grab it, put his hands behind his back and stepped back step by step, Ronaldo began his good game, pendulum dribbling. Left and right, when he noticed that Maldini's center of gravity had shifted, he decisively broke through in the opposite direction.

Maldini struggled to chase back, but he didn't dare to tackle, and now the back tackle is very strict, unlike before 98, he can only drag his heavy pace, desperately chase and try to squeeze Ronaldo with his body.

But Ronaldo's modest body was surprisingly tough, and he almost carried Maldini all the way to the AC Milan penalty area.

Dida decisively dropped the shot, but Ronaldo poked the ball to the back post with a poke of his toe and Vieri followed up with a nudge into the empty net.

Ricardo immediately jumped!

"Ronaldo continues to dribble the ball, Vieri goal! At the last minute, Ronaldo ran 40 meters with the ball and then selflessly passed to Vieri, Inter scored a valuable goal! Now they have an away goal! ”

"In the next game, Inter Milan will have Ricardo again in the front line, Adriano is also likely to return from injury, Inter Milan still has hope!"

Ricardo threw his fist hard. Yeah。 It's just one goal down, and it's just a matter of getting it back in the next leg. Inter Milan's Champions League road this season has not been cut off!
