Jose Mourinho was pleased with his team's performance in the first half, leading away from home and scoring an away goal, and Real Madrid were not at a disadvantage from the pitch, but he also criticised the team's performance after the goal, believing that the team should not be so eager to attack after the goal, but instead gave Inter Milan an opportunity to take advantage of the attack, and they were so scrambling to attack and almost concede.

Jose Mourinho has always been a man who rewards and dispenses. This criticism did not affect the mood of the players, who were happy to take the lead in the first half and had a good idea of how they played in the second half. Even if you lose the game, you take away an away goal, and you can't think there will be more away goals.

With the lead already taken, the second half was better for Real Madrid. Inter are playing at home and they certainly can't accept a home loss, so in the second half they will do everything they can to attack. That's what Real Madrid is craving.

Against Inter Milan, who are attacking with all their might, Real Madrid can play the defensive counter-attack that they do best. I'm afraid I'll score more goals when the time comes. Maybe this game will end up being a big win for Real Madrid?

At the same time, in the dressing room of Inter Milan, the atmosphere was a little more solemn. They have already conceded a goal on their home turf and are behind and it is clear how they will play in the second half. But everyone knows what Jose Mourinho's team is good at, especially this group of Inter Milan players.

Because last season, they beat their opponents and finally lifted the European Cup.

Now it's their turn to taste their opponents, and it's really feng shui in turn...... You have to attack in the second half, but how to prevent Real Madrid's counterattack?

If the defenders don't insert assists, the attack lacks layers and variety, and it is easy for Real Madrid to die. If the defenders come up, the back line is very dangerous. The goal conceded in the first half was because there were only two full-backs behind and there was nothing they could do against Real Madrid's superior forces.

What can you do to keep Real Madrid at the same time equalising as it comes?

Inter Milan are in a dilemma.

In fact, the players of Inter Milan have such a feeling, this game to this time, they have always been making multiple choice questions, from the very beginning of the long shot of Chu Zhongtian or the defense of his through ball, multiple choice questions continue to appear in front of the Inter Milan players, forcing them to make a choice. Nagatomo Yu made a mistake between defending Chu Zhongtian and defending Kaka, which led to the goal being conceded.

But this multiple-choice question doesn't mean that you don't know that you chose the wrong answer, if that's the case, it's fine, you can choose the correct answer next time. Chu Zhongtian gave them multiple choice questions, and they often knew what the correct answer was, but they forced the situation to be unable to choose, and they could only make the wrong choice. It doesn't get much more frustrating than this.

Yuto Nagatomo admitted his mistake to his teammates in the locker room and took all the responsibility for conceding the goal. In fact, he was not responsible, so his teammates did not blame him, but the characteristics of the Japanese made him stand in the locker room and keep bowing and apologizing.

Everyone else was reassuring him, telling him that it wasn't his responsibility alone and that it wasn't a big deal.

Hummels sat in his place, silent. He and Chu Zhongtian have played against each other several times in the Bundesliga, so he knows Chu Zhongtian's ability very well. Borussia Dortmund won the league title last season, and to be honest, he thinks it's because Chu Zhongtian and Hoffenheim don't put their minds on the domestic league, they have already won a domestic league, and it is obvious that the UEFA Champions League is more attractive than the domestic league in recent times. If Hoffenheim and Chu Zhongtian both turn their attention to the domestic arena, there will be a question mark over whether Dortmund can still win the league title...... Anyway, he felt that he was dealing with Chu Zhongtian and had no solution.

Hummels is a versatile defender, capable of playing not only at centre-back, but also at wing-back and in midfield. It's not that he hasn't faced Chu Zhongtian head-on, and the final result is Chu Zhongtian's complete victory. The corner kick clearance that caused Inter Milan to concede the ball is Chu Zhongtian's ability to compete for the top ball. In fact, when Hummels saw Chu Zhongtian jumping up at the back point, he felt a sigh in his heart and felt that the situation was not good. However, he was still a little lucky at the time, after all, not every time he competed for the top of Chu Zhongtian, he would definitely be able to grab a point, plus Ranocchia was 1.95 meters tall, three centimeters taller than himself, and a full twelve centimeters taller than Chu Zhongtian, maybe it would be okay this time...... Everyone saw the results.

He felt that instead of worrying about how to deal with Chu Zhongtian here, it was better to think about how to score as soon as possible...... Leonardo's train of thought was the same as his.

He clapped his hands, the dressing room fell silent, and everyone looked to the manager to hear what he had to say.

'Our first goal is not to stop conceding goals, but to try to score as fast as possible and equalise! So the focus of our discussion now is not Chu, but how to score, Sneijder. He looked at the Dutch midfielder.

In the first half, the poor operation of the midfield, led by Sneijder, was the main reason for the team's difficulties.

If Sneijder doesn't perform well, Inter Milan's attack will be left without inspiration and a source of inspiration.

Sneijder himself knew that his performance in the first half was a bit bleak, and he was limited by Chu Zhongtian.

He has already seen the countermeasures in the second half from Chu Zhongtian, that is, to strengthen long-range shots like Chu Zhongtian, which also put Real Madrid in a dilemma. Once you can pose a threat to Real Madrid from distance, you can quickly add up the changes, whether you are shooting yourself or passing the ball to your teammates.

He felt that since Chu Zhongtian could use this trick against us, why couldn't we deal with them in reverse?

After the resumption of the second half, Sneijder did step up his long-range shots.

Just three minutes into it, he fired a long-range shot from about 27 meters from goal.

It was a good long-range shot, but at a slightly right angle. Casillas leaned slightly sideways and pounced on the ball.

Soon after Inter had the chance to attack, Sneijder fired another long-range shot. This time Casillas didn't save and brushed the door.

Chu Zhongtian looked at Sneijder holding his head in his hands and looked annoyed from the side, thoughtful.

Samuel Eto'o and Pazzini both raised their hands in front of them for the ball, and Biabiani had a good chance on the wing, but Sneijder didn't pass the ball and stubbornly shot from distance.

Based on what he knows about Sneijder, he feels that Sneijder is not the kind of player who just wants to be a hero regardless of the overall situation. Then he must have done something else.

As for the meaning...... Chu Zhongtian quickly guessed that Sneijder wanted to use long-range shots to cause problems for Real Madrid's defense, just like himself.

However, Sneijder did not seem to think that there was a big difference, and that difference was perhaps decisive - when he shot from distance in front of Inter's penalty area, Cambiaso was not enough to see it personally, and he had to bring another person, so that when he fell back, the Inter backline was withdrawn by himself.

And now? Snead belongs to himself, he only needs to be alone, it is enough to keep an eye on Sneijder, and the others don't need to move at all, what to do.

In this way, Sneijder's attempt to cause problems for the Real Madrid backline failed, because Chu Zhongtian was able to defend him alone, and the others did not have to face his long-range shots at all.

So when Sneijder tried to threaten Casillas' goal with a long-range shot for the third time, Chu Zhongtian crossed in front of him and blocked Sneijder's long-range shot with his body.

"Chu Zhongtian blocked Sneijder's long-range shot! It was Sneijder's third long-range shot from the start of the second half! ”

Sneijder watched the ball fly to the touchline instead of goal, and he was a little annoyed.

When it was the fourth time, he didn't even have a chance to get up on his feet, because Chu Zhongtian was close to him, constantly putting pressure on him, making him feel that if he dared to shoot with his feet, the football would definitely be snatched up...... This kind of pressure made Sneijder not dare to get up easily, the distance between the two was too close, and Chu Zhongtian's kicking speed was definitely fast enough.

Now Leonardo has found a problem - at halftime, he thinks that there is no need to think about how to contain Chu Zhongtian, but should first find a way to score as soon as possible, the strategy is correct in the general direction, but in terms of details, he did not think about the position, that is, how to let Sneijder bypass Chu Zhongtian, a difficult guy, when attacking?

Sneijder needs help, and one person can't break through Chu Zhongtian's defenses.

Leonardo observed and came to this conclusion, so he took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to call Cambiaso to his side.

"Go protect Sneijder!"

In such a simple sentence, Cambiaso himself knows what to do.

His job is very simple, that is, after Sneijder was cut off by Chu Zhongtian, he rushed up to entangle Chu Zhongtian, forcing Chu Zhongtian to not attack immediately, and at the same time re-stealing with Sneijder. When the time comes, two people will grab one person, and the probability of grabbing it will be very high.

In addition, Sneijder can also play with himself to interfere with Chu Zhongtian's defense.

You must know that Cambiaso is not a simple midfielder sapper, only steals and defends, of course, his defensive level is indeed very high, but in fact he is an all-round midfielder, balanced attack and defense, and plays with great grace. Pekerman, the former head coach of the Argentine national team, once praised Cambiasso as "the second Redondo".

So he has the ability to organize the attack. Should Sneijder run into trouble, Cambiaso himself could step up and help the team out of trouble.

Cambiaso's UEFA Champions League magazine described Cambiaso as "a tireless midfield conspirator". The last person to be called a "conspirator" was a Romanian legend, the "Maradona of the Balkans" Haji, who was not a man who could only defend.

Cambiaso's technique is characterized by tireless running, with aggressive coverage on the field, completely carpeted coverage, and almost everywhere in between the two penalty areas. This sounds a bit similar to Chu Zhongtian, both of them have excellent physical fitness, and they are the kind of players who go from one penalty area to another. However, Chu Zhongtian's technique is more comprehensive than Cambiaso...... Defending is Cambiaso's main responsibility, with his interceptions and tackles forming a barrier in front of Inter's defence. In attack, he is often the source of initiation, and his passing and scheduling determine the direction of the attack.

So don't underestimate such a non-amazing guy.

Leonardo's hand adjustment is actually very powerful.

Inter Milan quickly took advantage of this tweak to return the color.

After Sneijder got the ball, Chu Zhongtian stepped forward to scramble, Sneijder did not entangle with Chu Zhongtian, nor did he force a long shot, but passed the football to Cambiaso.

Then Cambiaso suddenly stepped forward unmarked, shook off Chu Zhongtian, and entered the hinterland of Real Madrid.

His clever pass almost gave Eto'o a one-on-one chance, but Carvalho judged Cambiasso's passing intentions in advance and got stuck on the pass path to intercept the football, Eto'o had already run into position, but unfortunately the football did not arrive.

It was an attack that thrilled the Inter fans in the stands, and now every attack from Inter Milan is able to elicit a tsunami of cheers. Although it is not as good as Real Madrid's every time they get the ball, the difference between home and away teams is still very clear, and those who fantasize that Real Madrid can get very good treatment here have completely dismissed this idea.

After all, this is a Champions League quarter-final that is related to who can advance to the semi-finals, and no matter how much they love Mourinho, Inter Milan fans will not want their team to be a stepping stone for Mourinho...... two people to deal with Chu Zhongtian alone, Chu Zhongtian is a little embarrassed.

Chu Zhongtian originally wanted to attack again to score goals, but as soon as he saw Sneijder and Cambiaso coming to deal with him, he couldn't cope with it, so he immediately withdrew decisively to the position of the back midfield, focusing on defense, leaving only Kaka, Higuain, and C. Ronaldo in the frontcourt, so that these three fast and skilled players could impact Inter Milan's defense, and he defended in the back, and at the same time used long passes to organize counterattacks.

Real Madrid played a counter-attack.

After all, even a 1-0 away win for them would be a very satisfying result. In the modern away game, playing at home is a very advantageous schedule.

The first leg was won 1-0 away, and as long as they returned to their home stadium, they only needed to win by more than two goals to qualify.

Mourinho saw Chu Zhongtian on the field and let the team shrink the defense, and there was no objection. In his heart, he agreed with Chu Zhongtian's thoughts. In fact, even if Chu Zhongtian didn't do this, he planned to immediately notify the players on the field to switch to defensive counterattacks.

It is important to assess the situation.

A midfield commander has to have a clear mind and know when to attack and when to defend.

After a season of tuning, Real Madrid's defense is much more solid than last season's, and Real Madrid's players have gradually understood Mourinho's tactical ideas and concepts in defense.

If it goes on like this, Real Madrid could very well walk away with a win after this game.

But fate didn't let Real Madrid get their wish.

In the 78th minute, Inter Milan's continuous attack finally paid off.

Sneijder distributed the ball on the flank, and Biabiani forced his way into the box with the ball before being brought to the ground by centre-back Pepe. The referee decisively blew the whistle to award a penalty and sent Pepe off with a red card!

The decision became a point of contention between the two sides.

There's really nothing to argue about the penalty, it's about the red card. There was not a single yellow card on Pepe before, and the Real Madrid players thought that they would get a yellow card at most, after all, the penalty was awarded, which was already a capital punishment, and it was too much to give a red card. The Inter Milan players thought the red card was very good and wanted to defend the authority of the referee.

Pepe also looked wronged, he felt that his action was a foul, but he didn't deserve a red card...... Mourinho could only shake his head helplessly when he saw this scene off the field. Of course, if Barcelona encounters such a problem, even if he is sent off directly, he will have to make a big fuss on the sidelines.

In the end, regardless of the appeal of Real Madrid's players, Pepe was also sent off with a red card.

The Spanish commentator had this to say: "This can only be blamed on Pepe's previous reputation was so bad, his temper was short-tempered, and when he was in his head, it was like playing boxing and wrestling on the field, so the referee's first reaction when he saw him foul was to give him a red card and let him go off the court to calm down...... But I want to say that Pepe was really wronged this time, his mind is very cool, if he doesn't foul, I'm afraid that Biabiani will break through very easily, it's a single knife, and Pepe can only foul in desperation......"

Regardless, this penalty and the red card Real Madrid could only swallow.

Samuel Eto'o used the penalty to help Inter equalise.

The Meazza Stadium was jubilant, as if they had won the game.

Then Mourinho made a decisive substitution, replacing Kaka with Khedira, strengthening the defense in the midfield, and at the same time replacing Higuain with Arbeloa, putting C. Ronaldo alone in front to play a counterattack, Ramos changed from right-back to central defender, and Arbeloa appeared in the right-back position.

Jose Mourinho's substitutions were very quick to adjust, and Inter Milan had no way to take advantage of Real Madrid's lack of one man to attack.

In the end, the two sides drew 1:1, although the equalizer was done in the end, but the result Real Madrid was relatively satisfied, the only flaw was that Pepe was sent off, will not play in the next game, and will miss the first leg of the semi-final - if Real Madrid can make it to the semi-finals......
