Ronaldo seemed to hear the voice in Ricardo's heart and glanced in Ricardo's direction.

His breathing was a little uneven, but his eyes were still calm and determined. This is the eye of a top killer on the pitch, unwavering in both downwind and headwind, with the sole purpose of hitting the ball into the opponent's goal.

Ricardo was relieved.

Ronaldo is not in turmoil yet, and he will definitely lead Inter on the counter-attack.

After the restart, Inter continued their attack.

38th minute. Ronaldo broke through on the edge of the box and was brought down by Steven Gerrard to win a well-placed free-kick. Mihajlovich's free-kick was of great quality, and after going over the wall, Dudek did his best not to touch the ball, but the ball fell a little less, grazing the top edge of the crossbar and flying off the bottom line.

Soon, Louis. When Garcia tried to cut inside and break through, C. Zanetti cut off the ball, and Cambiaso, who was protecting him, immediately came up to control the ball and took a look at it to launch a counterattack with a long pass.

Ronaldo turned sideways and gently cushioned the ball with his chest, the football slowed down, he caught up with the ball and ran at full speed, all the way to the edge of the box. Alonso, Traore and Carragher completed the round, but Ronaldo was unfazed by the trio, his foot playing with the ball like a butterfly, breaking through the tight gap and then using the outside of his left foot to cross the ball to goal.

Adriano's muscular body showed his might at this point, and although Hyypia tried to slow him down with his hands and feet, and even hung on him almost entirely, Adriano still ran in front of the ball and gently pushed it into the empty net.

The narrator yelled: "Adriano Goal! Wonderful assist from Ronaldo! Five minutes after Liverpool's goal, Inter equalised! ”

"Ronaldo has been very active in this game, and the Liverpool defenders have been completely unable to defend against him, it is like boxers of different weights fighting. And now he's scoring goals! ”

Adriano didn't waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and now the two sides are on the same page again. This may not be the last goal of the game, Ronaldo is in good form today, and the Liverpudlians will suffer from him if they don't hurry up and find a way! ”

Benitez looked at Adriano and Ronaldo, who were running to celebrate, and shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Yes, he is a master tactician, but his tactics cannot limit the flash of genius. Tactics are used to deal with everyday situations, and genius actions often go beyond the normal range, beyond the comprehension, incomprehension, and limitation of ordinary people.

Ronaldo is the current king of the ball, of course, he did not dare to take it lightly, and he made countless arrangements for Ronaldo before the game, trying to put shackles on Ronaldo.

But it didn't work. When Ronaldo runs, all shackles are broken, and Liverpool's defence is as fragile as a newborn baby in front of Ronaldo.

He reached out to Carragher: "Don't defend with zones anymore, from now on, you have to stay close to Ronaldo." Freeze him, can you do it? ”

Carragher looked less confident, he hesitated, took a deep breath and said, "Yes." ”

Benitez patted the Liverpool deputy on the shoulder and said with a slight sigh: "Go ahead, go and complete your mission." ”

Carragher nodded and ran back to the field.

Liverpool kick off again. In the remaining minutes of the first half, he was indeed inseparable from Ronaldo, and he ran wherever Ronaldo went.

This did reduce Ronaldo's chances of receiving the ball, but he left his position, leaving the other centre-back Hyypia alone and miserable, and Finnan and Traore had to give up assists and reclaim their positions to assist Hyypia in defending before withstanding Inter's fierce attack in the final minutes.

When Adriano hit the side-netting with a powerful left-footed shot from the box, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, much to the relief of the Liverpool players. Their goal is in turmoil, and if they keep playing, maybe a minute, maybe three or five minutes, their goal will be lost again.

Back in the dressing room, Mancini's tense face opened and he smiled: "Everyone did a good job, we were a little unlucky in the first half, but if we continue to play like this, we will win." ”

This sentence set the tone, and several players who felt that they were not performing well also breathed a sigh of relief.

'In the second half we had to keep putting pressure on them and push with more simplicity and clarity. They were very quick to return and when we lost time, they formed a dense defence in the box. So be resolute and direct when fighting back. ”

"Now the score is still a draw, we don't need to rush to press hard, we have to be vigilant enough to avoid being beaten back by them."

"It's okay to shoot from a distance, but don't use it as the only means of attacking."

"Defensively, Cristiano, you're going to cut off Xavi as soon as possible. The connection between Alonso and the rest of the Liverpool players did not allow him to take the attack in stride. ”

"The rest of the men should pay attention to the defence, watch out for Gerrard and Smitchell's long-range shots, and don't give them a chance to get off their feet......"

After a lot of rambling, Mancini began to lay out tactics for each player again.

"Robert," Ronaldo said suddenly, "I think it will be good for us if Ricardo plays. ”

Mancini doesn't like having authority in the dressing room other than himself, but Ronaldo's position in the dressing room is really different. He is famous enough, his status is high enough, and he has played for Inter Milan for a long time, which can be said to be deep-rooted, no matter which coach comes to Inter Milan, he can't shake Ronaldo's locker room status.

So Mancini endured his displeasure and smiled: "I'll think about it." ”

Ronaldo glanced up at Veron, clearly unhappy with his performance in the first half. Veron barely made a forward pass, and on a couple of occasions Ronaldo and Adriano ran into reasonable positions without waiting for a pass.

If Ricardo is present...... The score is probably not 1:1 now, but it is already a goal or two ahead.

Ricardo kept his head down, and it was inconvenient for him to express his position at this time. Although Ronaldo is speaking for him, there are some things that Ronaldo can rely on and say, he can't talk nonsense.

The atmosphere in the locker room was a little awkward for a while. However, soon it was time to play, and the players left the dressing room one after another and walked onto the players' tunnel.

Ricardo's gaze fell on Gerald. Gerrard hasn't played much tonight, will he explode in the second half?
