In the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals in Meazza, the Inter Milan team, which played as the main force, only relied on Chen Xi's last-minute strike to defeat the Cagliari team 2-1 with difficulty. www.biquge.info This really made the media and fans who were one-sided before the game optimistic that Inter Milan could qualify for the Coppa Italia final through the first leg really made the media and fans fall through the glasses!
Cagliari's tenacious performance has also given hope to some of the anti-Inter media.
You know, Cagliari have only lost one game at home in Sardinia in all their matches this season. It can be said that their home stadium is a veritable home of the devil!
Of course, it cannot be ignored that Inter Milan are the only team to send them a home defeat this season!
When the outside world is hotly discussing whether Cagliari can complete the defeat of Inter Milan on their home turf and advance to the Coppa Italia final. Inter Milan ushered in the 36th round of the league this season.
Since three days later, the second leg of the crucial Coppa Italia semi-finals will be played. Therefore, Mourinho also hid a number of main players in this home game against Livorno.
However, "Iron Man" Chen Xi also continued to appear in the starting lineup.
In fact, in this game, the Inter Milan team also won 1-0 against Livorno with Chen Xi's key long-range shot, and won a victory in the mouth of the media as "the least price"!
Chen Xi also continues to maintain the crazy record of scoring goals in the games he plays!
…… May 18 at 21 o'clock in the evening!
In the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, the second leg of Inter Milan's match against Cagliari was played at the Stadio Sant'Elia, Cagliari's home stadium!
In this game, Mourinho made only one change to the team's main line-up, and that was to replace Vieri with Recoba.
In preparation for this crucial semi-final, Cagliari also hid most of their main players in the league at the weekend.
With a goal down in the first leg, Cagliari had to take the initiative on their home turf.
In fact, it's also what they do best. Because, the strongest thing in their team is their trident striker.
As soon as the game began, Zola, who scored the only away goal for Cagliari in the last game, completed a shot that shocked the Inter Milan people into a cold sweat.
Cagliari's long pass from the back was sent directly to the Inter Milan penalty area, which was pushed out of the box by Carvalho.
The ball flew to Zola outside the penalty area!
Faced with the ball in the air, Zola did not stop the ball, but directly volleyed the ball into the far corner.
Blocked by the crowd in front of him, Toldo didn't have time to react at all.
Unfortunately, the ball grazed the far post and went wide!
This also caused a sigh of regret to resounded at the Santa Elia Stadium.
After withstanding several waves of attacks in the opening stages of Cagliari, Inter Milan gradually kicked off the attack.
The first to attack was Inter Milan's forward arrow Adriano, who received Chen Xi's horizontal pass at the edge of the penalty area, and after continuous lateral dribbling, he shot directly with his left foot.
Unfortunately, the ball was slightly deflected.
Three minutes later, Recoba sent in a low cross from the left.
It was Adriano again, who made a goalmouth tackle in the middle of the box, but unfortunately the ball was a little too small and was saved into the arms of goalkeeper Brunel.
Without giving Cagliari time to react, Inter Milan's attack returned.
This time the ball appeared on the right side, and Chen Xi suddenly passed the ball to the middle in concealment in the process of dribbling the ball on the side.
Adriano outflanked a little too much, he chose to turn back and lean on the opponent's defender, and when he was about to receive the ball, he saw Stankovic who was inserted behind, so he took the opportunity to do it back!
The Serbian black man was very crisp, directly pushed and volleyed, and sent the ball to the far corner!
Cagliari goalkeeper Brunel made a save but couldn't prevent the ball from hitting the inside of the post and bouncing into the goal!
"Ball...... Entered!! Dejan ~~~~~~~~~~ Stankovic!! It was a clever upfield combination for Inter Milan! Inter Milan took the lead away from home and the aggregate score over the two legs was 3-1, and Cagliari had to score three goals in a row to qualify for the final! Karachi excitedly shouted that he has become a fan of the Nerazzurri in private after being in charge of commentating on Inter Milan games this season!
This goal immediately plunged the Santa Elia Stadium into silence.
Obviously, they know that their team is in a difficult situation.
On the sidelines, the coach of the Cagliari team also looked very anxious, even if the first half was only halfway through, he had already called the attacker Rangella from the bench, let him warm up, ready to give it a go!
Before Cagliari could make a substitution, Inter Milan almost extended the score again.
After receiving a throw-in from Zambrotta, Recoba fired a powerful left-footed shot from 35 meters away!
The ball made a strange arc in the air and flew straight to the top right corner of the goal!
Brunel's all-out saves still couldn't touch the ball, but unfortunately the ball eventually flew off the bottom line at the intersection of the post and the crossbar.
Thirty-five minutes into the first half, Cagliari made their first substitution.
Obviously, their manager couldn't sit still.
With Langera coming up and Boudel in midfield, Cagliari also became a front four like Inter Milan in the previous leg.
In such a situation, Zola dropped back slightly and became the team's playmaker in midfield.
Not to mention, in this way, the Cagliari team's offensive has really become extremely threatening.
However, after the first leg, Mourinho can be said to have studied the Sardinian team almost perfectly.
Therefore, until the end of the first half, Inter Milan still led 1-0.
At half-time, Mourinho made no changes. In his opinion, the team is doing well. Advancing to the finals is basically not a big problem.
However, as soon as the second half began, Cagliari's first wave of attack broke through the door for Inter Milan.
First Gianfranco Zola drove in and then a long-range shot was saved by Toldo.
Subsequently, Zola's corner kick found the tall centre-back in the box Martagliati.
The veteran, who is over 35 years old like Zola, was pushed away by Materazzi, but he still stubbornly ferried the ball to Bega, another central defender in front of goal.
Bega completed a header relay with Martagliati and headed the ball straight towards the goal.
Even though Toldo made a brilliant save in front of goal to keep the ball out, the ball fell to David Suazzo in front of goal.
Naturally, the Honduran striker did not miss such an empty opportunity and easily scored the ball into the back of the net!
"The ball is in! Entered! Entered! Entered! David ~~~~~~~~~~ Suazzo! He helped Cagliari equalise. Cagliari also regained hope of qualifying for the Coppa Italia final! "Karachi was a supporter of Inter Milan, but as a commentator, he showed enough passion when Cagliari scored.
Suazzo, who scored the goal, didn't care about celebrating, and walked directly towards the center circle with the ball.
When the equalizer was equalised, the Cagliari team also became more and more excited.
Their front four are also constantly attacking Inter Milan's penalty area and goal.
However, in the 68th minute of the game, their slightly thin central midfield had a fatal hole.
After Essien cut off a through ball from Conte, which had some obvious intentions, he handed the ball to Chen Xi, who was pulled up to the middle of the field.
Chen Xi received the ball and turned around in one go, using his speed to shake off the veteran Conte.
After attracting the supplementary defense of Alvarez, another midfielder in Cagliari, Chen Xi handed the ball to Adriano, who retreated to get the ball.
After passing the ball, Chen Xi continued to insert at high speed, and after he shook off Alvarez, Adriano also sent the ball back to his feet in time.
In the face of Adriano's extremely comfortable pass, Chen Xi made a direct long-range shot.
In fact, after attracting the opponent's block, he flicked the ball to the right and shook off the sliding tackle of Martagliati.
Just after getting past Martagati, his centre-back partner Bega stepped in to make up for it.
The timing of his defense was not untimely, however, Chen Xi seemed to have expected him to do this. I saw that his long legs flicked the ball sideways again, and he just dodged Vega's defense again.
After shaking past Bega, without waiting for the Cagliari fullbacks to come over again, Chen Xi fell directly to the ground and shot with an unstable center of gravity, sending the ball to the far corner!
The shot was a kick to the ground, and it wasn't particularly powerful. Because the opponent's goalkeeper Brunel was also moving with Chen Xi's lateral movement, he didn't have time to make a save for Chen Xi's shot to the opposite corner.
In the end, Chen Xi's strafing shot happened to stick to the inner edge of the column and hit the side net from the inside!
"Ball...... Went in again!! Edison ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chen !! Inter Milan exceeded the score again! 2-1, the aggregate score also became 4-2, and Inter Milan once again extended the aggregate score to two goals! They are getting closer and closer to the final of the Coppa Italia! Karachi roared excitedly again.
The 2,000 or so Inter Milan fans who arrived in Sardinia with the Inter Milan team also erupted in a huge cheer.
After scoring the goal, Chen Xi also rushed to the stands where the fans were and interacted with them enthusiastically.
The blow to Cagliari was undoubtedly huge.
Even though, under the leadership of captain Zola, the Cagliari team launched a frantic attack in the last twenty minutes.
However, Inter Milan kept the score 2-1 until the end.
Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~~~~~~~ With the referee's whistle, the Inter Milan team successfully had the last laugh.
After winning the league early and reaching the final of the Champions League, Inter Milan also reached the final of the Coppa Italia, and are only three games away from the goal of the treble. (The Coppa Italia final is a two-legged home and away leg) -
