85: Too long a wait
2-2, [African Cheetah] Eto'o's goal brought the battle of the century back to the starting point once again.
After more than half a year of hard work, no one wants to admit defeat easily.
In the 21st minute of the second half, Barcelona took the lead in making personnel changes, and as time went on, the two sides had reached a stage where no one could afford to make mistakes, so Rijkaard replaced [Xiaobai] Iniesta with Van Bommel who defended better.
Today's performance of [Xiaobai] can only score a passing grade, he did not fully play his role, but became a burden to the team when defending.
Iniesta, who was a little regretful, pulled up the corner of the jersey with both hands and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and when [Xiaobai] left the game, [Black Swan] Rijkaard patted the shoulder of his beloved general.
Soon after Barcelona made personnel adjustments, Inter Milan also made substitution adjustments, Mancini changed two, and he replaced Fernando Morientes and Luis Figo, who were declining in fitness, both of whom were veterans and could not withstand the physical exertion.
Mancini was replaced by Lucatori and youngster Luka Modric, both of whom came on at the same time.
The originally quiet scene of the game changed immediately after the new forces of both sides joined.
On the side of Inter Milan, Luka Jr., [Croatian Magic Flute] Modric injected a fresh vitality into Inter Milan's midfield with his active running and passing, while Luca Jr. and [Italian striker] Toni continued the pressure brought by Morientes to Barcelona's defense, and used his stronger impact to put Barcelona's defense under great pressure.
On Barcelona's side, the Dutchman Van Bommel has both offense and defense, and the physically stronger Van Bommel has caused Inter Milan a lot of trouble both in midfield interception and in assists.
The game is getting more and more exciting, you attack and I defend, I defend and you attack, and the two sides kept the fast pace of the game, in the words of Martin Taylor, the commentator of Sky England, it was a game without reservations.
Both sides played their highest level perfectly.
In the thirtieth minute of the second half, the ** moment is here again!
Attack from the Catalans!
Dutchman Van Bommel steals in midfield, young Luka Jr., [Croatian Magic Flute] Modric is a little immature in front of the old and spicy Van Bommel.
His right-footed smash action was accurately predicted by Van Bommel, who saw a left-footed arrow step grabbed up at the moment when Modric broke through, and Modric's forward line was completely exposed in an instant.
Then, Van Bommel used his strong body to jam the ball, he took the upper hand in the ball scramble, and when Modric tried to get the ball back, Van Bommel had already controlled the ball with his strong body!
Van Bommel then launched a counter-attack, glancing up at his team-mates' movements before taking three steps forward to catch the eye of Inter midfielder Esteban Cambiasso.
Then Van Bommel easily picked the ball with his right foot to Deco who inserted from behind, and the Portuguese unloaded the ball with his right foot thigh and then passed lightly to the middle, in the middle, Barcelona's midfielder Xavi followed in time, and the Barcelona's insertion speed was much faster than the speed of Inter Milan's defense!
The Catalans' continuous attacks made another mistake in Inter Milan's defense, Xavi, who took the ball in the middle of the midfield, did not stop the ball much, he split the ball again, and Ronaldinho quickly followed up to receive the ball!
Inter Milan's right-back McCone was a bit of a loser, because Barcelona's left-back Van Bronckhorst's timely insertion made McCone not dare to go too far!
So, seizing this psychology of McConn, Ronaldinho used his terrifying explosiveness to cut into the penalty area of Inter Milan!
"Ronaldinho is here!" In Paris, France, at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, Barcelona fans have stood up!
At the moment when Ronaldinho burst into the penalty area, Leonwill, the core of Inter Milan's midfield, made up for it in time, but the reason why Barcelona's attack is terrifying is because although they have individual attacks, they are generally a team style!
Ronaldinho didn't break into Leonwill's defensive zone.
Because Ronaldinho knows that his forced penetration into Leonwill's defensive zone is tantamount to destroying the opportunity that the team has so hard to find this time.
At this moment, [Brazilian Heavenly King] showed his outstanding insight, keen sense of smell and unparalleled imagination!
I saw that on the field, Ronaldinho's left foot smashed the ball strongly, but his left ankle suddenly shook and passed the ball back!
At this moment, even Leon was almost shaken down by Ronaldinho's fake and true pass!
In the middle of Inter Milan's penalty area, Messi, who performed well in this battle of the century today, picked up the shot, he took the ball in the middle of the penalty area and dribbled past Cambiaso who returned to the defense and then pulled out!
Immediately afterwards, [Little Flea] Messi suddenly sent a straight kick, and Barcelona's right-back Belletti had already used his speed to insert it from behind!
The right-back, who is known for his speed, burst into the box after receiving a through ball from Messi!
Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar moved in a hurry, and this time he didn't completely save into the near corner, as he learned the lessons of the previous time, and this time he paid extra attention to Belletti's possible cross-cross routes.
But this time, Belletti didn't have a cross.
Because he got up and volleyed from a small angle!
One Foot World Wave!
Cesar's experience gave him enough bones, and in the face of the Catalans who did not play according to the cards, Cesar watched the ball fly into the top corner of the goal feebly!
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!”
"Belletti! It's Messi's assist again! Assist hat-trick! The rise of another genius! Three to two, Barcelona overtook and we were close to the championship!!!! Catalunya TV, accompanied by the mountain of cheers of the Barcelona fans at the scene, the entire Stade de France was in a commotion.
Inter Milan have their biggest threat so far this season!
With fifteen minutes left in the 05-06 Champions League final, they are 2-3 down to Barcelona and there is not much time left for them!
On the bench of Inter Milan, Roberto Mancini's expression was a little anxious, and on the pitch, the Inter Milan players also began to be impatient after scoring the third goal in Barcelona.
Impatience is a plague, and once it spreads, it will be terrifying.
So in the thirty-fourth minute of the second half, after the ball went out of bounds and died, Leon, who was already sweating, began to signal his teammates to calm down.
"Guys, we have more than ten minutes, don't worry, just play a good attack." Leon didn't know if his reassurance and reminders would work, but he knew that if no one stepped up at this time, then in ten minutes, Inter Milan would have to watch the Barcelona people celebrate the victory.
The cruelest thing about competitive sports is when you have a good situation, but you are overturned by your opponent.
In fact, the most anxious person on the pitch at this time was Adriano, because if he had taken the penalty that Morientes had created, the situation of the game would have been completely rewritten.
However, there was not much time left for Adriano to feel guilty, with eleven minutes left in the game, and no more than fifteen minutes of stoppage time were left to end.
In this short quarter and a half of an hour, did the most powerful warship on the planet sink or continue sailing?
Fate is still in the hands of the Inter players themselves.
After reversing the scoreline, Rijkaard made a second substitution, replacing Rio Messi, who had completed today's hat-trick of assists, with defensive midfielder Edmilson.
When the young Messi came off the field, Barcelona fans all over the world gave him applause, and at this moment, Messi was like the rise of Leonwill back then, and in the Champions League final, he completed a hat-trick of assists.
Messi was almost overdrawn when he was sent off, and all the Barcelona players sitting on the bench came up to hug the little brother of the youth team.
If Barcelona complete the treble by winning the title today, then Messi will be their biggest contributor.
Messi, who was already too tired, did not go back to the locker room to take a shower, he quietly took a handkerchief to cover his head, and then stared at the field with his immature eyes.
He wanted to use his eyes to witness the beginning of the Barcelona dynasty!
Time is passing, and the mood of the Inter Milan players is slowly stabilizing, but at this time there are only five minutes left before the end of the game, and I don't know how long the stoppage time will be today, but according to the smooth surname of Inter Milan and Barcelona today's game, the fourth official will not give more than two minutes of stoppage time.
Barcelona have dropped out across the board and are waiting for referee Massimo Busacaga to blow the whistle.
"No matter how much, press it all up, and make a long pass to hang it!" At the last moment, Leon can only come up with this last move, because this is the most time-saving and most likely to find a flawed way to attack.
Don't forget, Inter Milan has two strong center forwards, Toni and Adriano!
Will there be a miracle?
In the stands of the Stade de France, all the Inter fans were already on their feet, waiting for a miracle because they didn't want to see the team lose.
Forty-one years of waiting is too long, is the goddess of victory going to play a big joke with them again?
