1193 Gambling on life and death
When the football rolled into Liverpool's goal, the Bernabeu stands rang out with a deafening cheer from Inter Milan fans for the first time in a long time!
Hope has re-lit the light before it is completely shattered!
Milito's goal also made the Reds fans a little stunned, and Inter Milan's momentum after conceding the second goal was like a wolf!
There was really a bit of a new stance, which made the fans feel a little uneasy.
But soon, with die-hard fans taking the lead, the Reds cheered at the Bernabeu Stadium as loudly as Inter Milan fans.
At this stage of the game, the war of the fans in the stands has returned to the atmosphere of division!
"Inter Milan pulled a goal back! Milito's wonderful individual performance in the box!
It has to be said that the defensive pressure that Inter Milan has put on Liverpool in the last ten minutes has been very huge.
This caused Liverpool's defence to be flustered and their individual performance suffered.
After Skrtel cleared the kick, Sneijder was extremely calm in front of the penalty area, he didn't shoot himself, but passed the ball into the box, wow, Milito, actually deceived Carragher!
His feint shot was so realistic that Carragher lost his center of gravity in order to block his shot, giving Milito a chance to smash past him, and then Milito fired a left-footed shot into the near corner, and Reyna couldn't get back!
With 20 minutes remaining, Inter Milan had more time to equalise and the suspense of the game was not over.
Mourinho's adventure has been successful so far, will he pull off a miracle of reversal?
If Inter Milan hold on to their last ten minutes, who wouldn't believe they could pull off a miracle? ”
In the process of Milito picking the ball out of the goal, holding it in his arms and running backwards. All the players at Inter Milan have burst out with new momentum.
In their eyes. Although the score has not yet equalized. But they have come back to life!
And being able to break through Liverpool's goal is undoubtedly a huge boost in their confidence!
Mourinho looked so distinguished from the sidelines with his head held high, even when things were looking up, he was still calm and restrained.
Far from the time to get carried away and celebrate, Inter's danger is still not over!
Jose Mourinho knows that only an equaliser will allow Inter to return to a more comfortable game.
He hopes Liverpool will be in a state of panic for a short time. Give Inter a chance to equalise.
Once Liverpool regain their composure, the rest of the game will be difficult to say.
Qin Xiong said something to his teammates as he returned to the backcourt.
Keep them calm and don't get distracted by the fact that the score gap is being shortened.
Qin Xiong, who has three finals experience, is more able to adapt to the big scene than anyone else, and he must pass on his experience to his teammates at this time.
Gerrard is also telling his team-mates to keep their minds calm.
Koeman made a substitution on the sidelines, a decision he made before conceding the goal.
Mourinho wants to bet?
He will accompany him to the end!
At a time when everyone thought Liverpool should step up their defence to hold on to their current lead, Koeman's substitution made all Reds fans feel as if they were stimulated.
"Kuyt replaces Lucas!? Was Koeman's substitution a bit risky?
He should be tougher defensively, but he's stepping up his offense!
Oh my God, it was an unpredictable game, and the two managers who had faced each other six years ago were surprised by the line-up and on-the-spot command today. ”
Kuyt came up with tactical directives, and when he came on the pitch, he briefly conveyed Koeman's orders to Gerrard and Alonso.
Alonso's retracement acts as a drag organization. Steven Gerrard was in midfield, while Kuyt played on the right wing. Liverpool's attacking play at this moment returned to the usual formation of the season.
It's just incomprehensible.
If you adjust the formation in reverse, then everything is normal, starting with a regular formation and strengthening the defense after gaining an advantage is too commonplace for fans with a little bit of seniority to think of.
But Koeman did the opposite, and when everyone thought Liverpool should strengthen their defense, Coman let the team weaken the defense and strengthen the attack!
In fact, Koeman's original intention was very simple.
Liverpool's margin for error is much higher than Inter's.
When Inter Milan has used 352 to play, Liverpool should have more opportunities in attack, but if you want to do a good job of attacking and defending the conversion, you still have to make a fuss in the midfield, especially in the midfield.
Lucas did defend well, but his role in the transition between attack and defense was not prominent, and it was crucial to let Alonso drop back to play a trail and ensure that Liverpool's attack could form a tandem playmaking in midfield.
And in the face of a formation like Inter Milan's back three, how could Koeman turn a blind eye?
He just wants to strengthen the attack to blow up Inter Milan's back three!
The reason why Liverpool has a higher margin for error is because of the scoreline.
What about another goal for Inter?
2:2 was a draw and Liverpool were not far behind.
However, Koeman is also well aware that after making this substitution, it is unlikely that he will continue to make adjustments, because the attacking and defensive posture of the players cannot be changed frequently, unless it is really at the last moment.
So it's a big gamble!
A life-and-death bet between him and Mourinho!
Either you die, or I die!
After the resumption of the game, Liverpool and Inter Milan battled fiercely in midfield, and the game was in a stalemate for several minutes, with both sides breaking the ball and not being able to organize the attack smoothly in the confrontation, which made the fans anxious.
The big advantage of the overall layout is still on Liverpool's side, because Inter Milan are in a race against time, and they will be more desperate to organize an effective attack as soon as possible.
When the midfield confrontation becomes stalemate, Inter Milan will press the midfield in order to gain possession of the ball and organize an effective attack, and the players in the backfield will press the midfield if they can't hold it.
In the 77th minute of the game, when Cambiaso boldly stepped forward to intercept Kuyt's pass to Qin Xiong, Inter Milan's long-awaited offensive began to erupt!
Cambiaso, Stankovic, Pandev and Sneijder passed quickly and fluently to get the attack in front of Liverpool's penalty area.
In a key defensive area, Sneijder squeezed the ball diagonally behind Johnson, Pandev cut inside from the wing, and after receiving Sneijder's pass in the box, Carragher bravely and decisively blocked in front of him, and made a direct tackle with his feet.
Pandev pulled the ball to get rid of it, but he didn't expect Johnson to cut it off from the side.
Johnson, who has been beaten continuously, can be said to have been beaten out of experience, and his instinctive awareness is getting stronger and stronger, knowing how to run back to defense after being beaten, and how to cooperate with teammates to steal.
This time, once again, he managed to block Inter's threatening attack in the box! (To be continued.) )
