Intermission!

The Inter players returned to the dressing room without speaking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is just taking care of himself to replenish water, or to take a break.

The atmosphere in the locker room was a bit dreary. However, it is not that everyone is desperate about the current situation. In fact, it is more appropriate to describe their mood at this time as aggrieved.

In the first half of the game, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Inter Milan had the advantage. Ironically, the score on the big screen at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium was Liverpool 1-0 up!

For Liverpool's almost shrinking style of play, Inter Milan's players can be said to have nowhere to go.

But they also know that they blame themselves for this situation.

If they were the ones who were ahead, would Liverpool still be so reluctant to defend?

After Mourinho returned to the dressing room, he also saw the grievances in the hearts of the players. However, he couldn't find any way to deal with this situation for a while.

In such an important Champions League final, with only one goal down, Mourinho will not take risks and let his team go for it.

Therefore, in the second half of the game, he could only continue to attack in the first half as strong but not aggressive!

As for the lineup, he didn't think about making adjustments for the time being. After all, in all fairness, apart from that conceded goal, the players played well in the first half.

Mourinho, who couldn't think of what to say for a while, suddenly remembered something after seeing Chen Xi who was pouring sports drinks.

He walked up to Chen Xi's side and asked, "Edison, I'm curious. What happened in the dressing room at Liverpool this time last year? How did you manage to make a comeback in just fifteen minutes and complete the comeback against Porto? ”

When Mourinho asked this question, his voice was not loud, but he did not deliberately lower his voice.

As a result, almost everyone in the unusually quiet locker room heard the phrase.

They all looked at each other with puzzled expressions, they didn't know why Mourinho asked such a question at this time, and they were also curious about what was going on.

After all, that magical "Ovschalke Night" is known as the most classic final in the history of the Champions League. What happened in the dressing room in Liverpool at that time was also a question of concern for many people!

Carvalho, in particular, was even more curious as a member of Porto last season.

When Chen Xi first heard Mourinho's question, he was also stunned. However, he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. Mourinho's intentions were quickly heard from Mourinho's questions.

Therefore, he did not continue to be stunned, but began to speak after thinking about it.

'We went into the dressing room 3-0 down. At that time, everyone's mood was terrible. I'm no exception. In that game, I scored an own goal. At that time, I don't believe that no one believed that we would be able to turn the tables around. Even myself! ”

Chen Xi first described the situation in the locker room at that time.

After hearing Chen Xi's words, his teammates also voluntarily brought into such a situation, and naturally they could understand the despair of the Liverpool team at that time.

"But just when everyone was desperate, the team anthem 'You'll never walk alone' from the fans in the stands reached the dressing room. When I heard these songs, I suddenly felt refreshed. I think the fans didn't give up on us in such a situation, so why should we give up on this game? Are we going to play another 45 minutes of shit like we did in the first half, then concede a few more goals and end with one of the worst defeats ever in a Champions League final? ”

The answer is definitely no! With that in mind, I stood up and spoke out loud to my teammates. Everyone also felt the enthusiasm of the fans from the singing. They also knew that if they just gave up the game, they would really be sorry for the fans in the stands. At that time, the idea was to fight for the fans. We didn't think we could turn the tables around. But it is this belief that allows us to accomplish miracles! ”

Chen Xi said as he spoke, as if he had really returned to the locker room at the Aufschalke Stadium a year ago. The scenes at that time are vivid. Even, he seems to be able to clearly hear the fans singing "You will never walk alone".

For a moment, Chen Xi couldn't seem to tell whether the song was ringing in his head, or whether the singing of the Liverpool fans in the stands really reached his ears.

After listening to Chen Xi's words, the players of Inter Milan also fell into a deep thought.

Mourinho took over with a wry smile: "That's it, because of a fan song, you and Liverpool snatched the Big Ear Cup that I almost got at that time?" ”

Hearing Mourinho's self-deprecating words, there was a burst of laughter in the dressing room.

Amid everyone's laughter, Mourinho put on a serious expression: "Do you really think that in this precious 15-minute intermission, Edison brought up my 'sad thing' to make you laugh?" ”

After hearing Mourinho's words, the players also suddenly came back to their senses. yes, it's only been 15 minutes at half-time, shouldn't he hurry up and adjust our style of play or mentality? How did you tell the story?

"This time last year, Liverpool were three goals behind and they were stubbornly chasing back. And had the last laugh. This year, we're just one goal behind! Why can't we also give Liverpool a taste of what it feels like to be from behind? Isn't reversal what we do best? Mourinho said impassionedly.

These words made the players in the dressing room forget their previous grievances, and some just wanted to reverse Liverpool's blood in the second half.

yes, they were able to recover from three goals down last year. We were only one goal behind, so why can't we turn them back?

Just when the mood in the dressing room was brewing.

As if it had been discussed, through the walls of the dressing room, the neat singing of the 30,000 Inter Milan fans in the stands reached the ears of the players.

"There are more important things in this world than playing football and singing, but for me that's the best! In order to win, we have endured hardships, but our faith remains unwavering! Inter is unique to me! My love for her cannot be described in words, no matter what Inter does, it is normal in our eyes, whether it is defeat or victory, it will go down in history as an immortal legend! Ninety minutes we held our breath because Inter is unique! Inter is unique to me!! ”

This time, instead of the team's new anthem, "Crazy Inter", the Inter fans sang the famous "Solointer". In the chorus of 30,000 people, the singing voice seems to be very melodious, and at the same time, there is no lack of momentum.

A few lines in the song resonated with the players: "In order to win, we have endured hardships, but our faith remains unwavering!" ”

"In the second half, we must overtake them!"

"Yes, the victory is still ours!"

"Champion, we want champion!"

"We've waited 33 years to get back to the final, so why shouldn't we bring the title back?"

…… Chen Xi and his teammates said with a glance at me.

The dressing room, which was still dull, suddenly became lively.

Mourinho is also very satisfied with the performance of the players, in his opinion, there is no problem in tactics, and now that he has fully mobilized the fighting spirit of the players, then in the second half, it will be better!

"All right, gentlemen! The second half is about to begin, so leave the rest of the league and Coppa Italia final alone. Let's play this game as if it were the last game of the season! Give me all the best, and if anyone can't run, just tell me, and I'll let you come down and rest! "Mourinho hits the railroad while it's hot.

"In the second half, I wanted everyone to start pressing from the front. Edison, Bobo, Ade, the three of you are the main force in the frontcourt pressing. Don't give me any reservations, you know? ”

...... "The midfielders should be protected and don't give them any more chances to shoot easily from distance in front of the penalty area. You know? ”

......' The backline has to be careful to prevent them from counter-attacking. Their tactics are to defend and counter-attack, and we have to try to make them only defend, not have the opportunity to counter-attack!! ”

After Mourinho made another arrangement, the staff outside came to remind Inter Milan that they were ready to start the second half of the game.

In the second half, neither team made any personnel changes.

Back on the field, seeing the fans who were still singing for the team, Chen Xi and his teammates also became more combative!

They ran to Turkey with great difficulty...... It's not here to see us lose!

With a whistle from referee Gonzalez, the second half of the game resumed!

As soon as the game started, Inter Milan took advantage of the opportunity to launch the first wave of attacks.

Liverpool obviously expected Inter Milan to do this, so their formation was very compressed!

In the face of the Liverpool team's shrinkage, Chen Xi chose to drive straight into the ball by himself, and after hitting the front of the penalty area, he directly came with a strong long-range shot!

The shot hit the Liverpool door like a missile.

However, Dudek in front of goal was very focused and blocked the ball off the line with a world-class sideways pounce!

"Fantastic save! Dudek keeps the goal open! ”

The Liverpool fans in the stands also gave Dudek a round of applause after a burst of exclamations.

At the same time, the momentum of the Inter Milan fans was also ignited by this shot, and their shouts became even more enthusiastic!

Inter Milan were awarded a corner.

This time, Chen Xi did not drive the ball towards the penalty area, but took a volley of footwork and pumped the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

Because Chen Xi pressed the ball to death, the ball was close to the turf and came to Cambiaso at the edge of the penalty area very quickly!

The Argentine, as a defensive midfielder, was not taken seriously by Liverpool, and there were no defenders around him at this time!

Even so, Cambiaso still knew that the opponent would not give him a chance to stop the ball, and when he stopped the ball, the opponent would definitely pounce, so he met the request and directly picked up his right foot!

Bang!

Cambiaso's right foot slammed into the ball!

Originally, Chen Xi's pass was full of strength, but Cambiaso made another effort, which can be said to be a force, this shot was like a torpedo, sticking to the turf and blasting towards the Liverpool goal!

Although the crowd in the penalty area was very crowded, the ball still seemed to have eyes and flew past!

Dudek, whose view was blocked by the crowd in the box, simply didn't have time to make any save.

The Inter fans were ready to cheer for the goal.

But at this time, there was a sound of "bang...... The ball slammed into the post. Through this loud noise, people seem to be able to feel the vibration of the doorpost!

Before people could sigh, the ball quickly bounced back in front of the goal, hit Carragher's leg with his back to the goal, and bounced back into the goal again!

It's just that this time the ball speed has slowed down a lot!

Dudek also had a chance to react, and he made a side pounce to keep the ball in his arms!

"Oh my God! God really wasn't on Inter's side today! Cambiaso's kick of the world wave actually hit the post! ”

The Inter fans in the stands also let out an incredible sigh!

Mourinho on the sidelines, helplessly spread his hands, his face was full of depression, obviously worried about the team's bad luck.

Benitez, meanwhile, in front of the other dugout, breathed a sigh of relief.

In the opening stages of the first half, his side scored a goal from a set-piece in a rush to create a goal. At the start of the second half, Inter Milan almost copied what they did!

Cambiaso was also annoyed, not enough for him to quickly clean up his mood and run to the backfield, because the Liverpool team was already serving fast and launched a counterattack!

Smitchell on the right has already received Dudek's hand tossed the ball and started a high-speed run on the side!

The other Inter Milan players are also struggling to defend back, after all, the backfield of the Inter Milan team is very empty.

Smitchell dribbled all the way up front and before Zambrotta defended it, he came with a cross from a 45-degree angle!

Barosh in the middle is already in place and ready to grab the point.

But Essien ran all the way back to the penalty area, grabbed a header before Baroshe and headed the ball out of the box.

However, Essien had no eyes in the back of his head after all, and his header was actually headed directly at Luis Garcia who was inserted in the middle!

The Spaniard faced the incoming ball, did not make any adjustments, and directly volleyed!

The quality of the shot is also very high, and with a strong external spin, it flies straight to the top right corner of the goal!

Toldo stretched out his full force in the air, but still couldn't save the ball.

However, the ball did not fly into the goal, but flew out of the bottom line with a strong external spin and grazed the outer edge of the post!

Inevitably, there were bursts of sighs and exclamations in the stands.

It's just that this time the roles of the fans of the two sides have been reversed!

Although he was a little unwilling that this wave of fast attacks failed to convert into goals. However, the Liverpool players did not linger too much in the front of the pitch and quickly returned to the back. They haven't forgotten what Benitez had done for them!

So, when Toldo quickly got up from the turf, then took the ball that the caddie threw back to the pitch, and quickly sent a goal kick, the Liverpool team was basically back in a defensive position.

Therefore, the Inter Milan team can only be transformed into a positional battle.

No matter how the Inter Milan team uses the width of the field to transfer and dispatch, the defensive formation of the Liverpool team has been maintained almost perfectly!

This also had to make Mourinho on the sidelines lament the level of Benitez's training.

After all, the attacking power of the Porto team in his hands last season was definitely inferior to this Inter Milan team. But at that time, they easily seized three counter-attacking opportunities and broke Liverpool's goal three times.

Now, Inter Milan are struggling to score a goal.

Among them, there are certainly tactical changes on both sides, but Benitez's adjustment to the Liverpool team's defense is also indispensable!

Regarding the changes in the defensive ability of the Liverpool team, Chen Xi also has an intuitive feeling.

Last season, as a member of Liverpool's team, the team's backline also made some mistakes regularly. The number of goals conceded by the team is not small in either the Premier League or the Champions League.

But this season, Liverpool have been in the Champions League, especially after reaching the knockout rounds, as if they had opened their minds. The clean sheet against Juventus at the Alpi Stadium and the clean sheet against Chelsea over two legs in the semi-finals are all a testament to their defensive ability!

In fact, this season, there are only a handful of teams that have not scored a goal in the case of Inter Milan playing most of the game!

No matter what position Chen Xi appears, he is like a prince and nobleman, followed by at least three followers!

In the end, Chen Xi simply chose to come to the middle, attract Liverpool's defense, and then create opportunities for his teammates on the side!

In the 64th minute, Chen Xi came to the middle again and received a cross pass from Zanetti at the edge of the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Chen Xi didn't have time to do the next action. A group of red figures surrounded him, right and left.

Alonso, Gerrard, Reese, plus Carragher who is ready to come out to block Chen Xi at any time in the penalty area, Chen Xi can be said to be surrounded by demons!

These four of Chen Xi's old teammates obviously also know Chen Xi's foot skills very well. So they didn't blindly grab it, but tried their best to seal the angle of Chen Xi's ball.

Of course, they also deliberately exposed the gap behind Chen Xi and gave him a choice to pass back.

Because they know that with Chen Xi's perverted ability to protect the ball, unless they foul, it will be difficult to cut off the ball from Chen Xi's feet, and it is better to leave him a way back.

It's just that Chen Xi didn't appreciate the "kindness" of these old teammates.

I saw him stretching out among the demons, but he was still writhing his body there leisurely, as if he was dancing.

The ball at his feet stopped in front of him and seemed out of his control, but the Liverpool players next to him had no intention of reaching out to break the ball...... Because you know, so be cautious!

The situation on the field is very contradictory for some Liverpool fans in the stands.

They hoped that the team would be able to limit Chen Xi, because they knew that only in this way would they be able to win. But at the same time, they were looking forward to what kind of wonderful moves Chen Xi would make in such a situation of being under siege.

Just when they were thinking so, Chen Xi moved.

Of course, his movements were not much more dynamic than the exaggerated writhing he had before.

I saw that his right foot, which was originally raised, suddenly made a move to push the far corner on the spot!

The Liverpool defenders, who thought that Chen Xi was still faking before, suddenly moved their center of gravity and prepared to block Chen Xi's shooting angle.

Especially Alonso, who is standing in front of Chen Xi's right!

Chen Xi's right foot did complete the push, but the moment he kicked the ball, he turned his ankle and kicked the ball through the tiny gap between Gerrard and Carragher!

This kind of push with force on the spot is naturally not as strong as a strong volley!

However, Chen Xi's shot was sudden, and because he didn't run, Dudek in front of the goal was even more difficult to judge.

Even, the moment Chen Xi completed the shot, Dudek didn't realize the danger. Because his realization was completely blocked.

It wasn't until the ball came through the crowd that Dudek screamed in his heart, and at this time, it was too late for him to make another save, and he could only watch the ball fly directly into the goal by sticking to the inside of the goal post!

All of a sudden, the Ataturk Olympic Stadium fell silent!

“egooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal，egoal，égolégolégol，égolégolégol，égolégolégol！！！ Edison! Edison! Edison!!!! Karachi was one of the first to react, and his roar rang out quickly: "Unbelievable goal!" Even though Edison stretched out the encirclement of four players, he still completed this imaginative hit on the spot, and he completed the goal! This goal also allowed Inter Milan to finally tie the score after more than an hour of furious attack! Edison was once again Inter's hero!! ”

It didn't take long for the stands of the Ataturk Olympic Stadium to erupt in the tsunami-like cheers of Inter Milan fans!

The blue-black half of the grandstand also became active, like a blue-black ocean in the wind and waves!

On the sidelines!

Mourinho, who was originally a little dissatisfied with Chen Xi's approach of stopping the ball, also felt a huge surprise!

He obviously didn't expect that in such an unfavorable situation, Chen Xi would still be able to complete the forbidden area!

...... "Chen Xi should quickly transfer the ball out!" Because if he is here like this, he will make the positions of the players on both sides set, which is not good for the attacking method. Chances come out of the run, they come from passing...... Oh, he shot straight at goal!? Ball...... Entered! The ball is in! Entered! Entered! Entered!! Datou Duan Xuan, who was also commenting on the scene, was originally expressing his incomprehension of Chen Xi's approach. But soon, he was shocked by Chen Xi's goal.

"It's incredible! With four defenders around, Chen Xi still scored! During the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu once praised Zhang Fei and said that he took the head of a general in a million-strong army, like picking up things! Chen Xi also staged this scene today, of course, he was in the bag of four...... Fatal with one hit! That's the flash of talent! In a team's unfavourable situation, the flash of talent can often change the situation on the field. Chen Xi is undoubtedly the best player in world football to change the situation on the field!! ”

At the same time, in distant China, there are hundreds of millions of fans cheering wildly at this one!

In fact, before this, I am afraid no one expected that Chen Xi would be able to complete the shot in such a situation!

...... "ball...... Actually entered? It was Edison's shot on the spot, but I have to admit that the ball hit abruptly and from a tricky angle. This...... It's a kick in the world wave! "As a commentator on the English side. Paul Mortenson was a little depressed. From the bottom of his heart, he wanted to cheer for Chen Xi's goal. However, at this time, he represents the position of Liverpool fans. If he is too excited, I guess some fans will have to complain.

In fact, whether on the scene or in front of the TV, many Liverpool fans are caught in a contradictory situation. They were not only depressed that their team was tied by the score, but they also had to applaud Chen Xi's wonderful shot in their hearts!

…… On the field!

After scoring the goal, Chen Xi did not show his varied and passionate celebrations!

He just stuffed his head, ran in the direction of the goal, and picked up the ball from inside.

Then he stretched out his right hand and made a blocking gesture towards his teammates who were running towards him. In this way, he doesn't want to celebrate!

His teammates obviously understood his feelings, so everyone just came over and patted him on the shoulder and ran with him towards the backcourt!

Seeing Chen Xi's performance, many Liverpool fans in the stands couldn't help but shed tears.

On such an important stage as the Champions League final, scoring such an important goal, but being able to suppress your emotions and not celebrate. It is enough to reflect Chen Xi's feelings for Liverpool!

At this time, even some extreme Liverpool fans can't hate Chen Xi anymore.

Even, some Liverpool fans subconsciously applauded Chen Xi. Gradually, this applause spread almost to the stands of the Ataturk Olympic Stadium!

Yes, almost all the fans applauded Chen Xi. Not just for his brilliant goals, but also for his technical ...... Character!
