1259 The Conquest of Kings
Inter Milan's morale was boosted after the goal, and the attack was even more vigorous!
After Steven Gerrard's long-range shot was denied by Cesar, Inter Milan's attack on the right side of the field was once again in action.
With Suya already trembling, he felt like he was in a dilemma, and when it came to Zanetti's bottom to receive McConn's pass, he was once again completely erased by his opponent.
This time Zanetti swept the ball directly in front of goal, and Eto'o, who grabbed the spot, shook off Skrtel and faced Reina in the middle of the goal.
Reyna took two steps forward, falling to the ground and outstretching his long legs between the lightning and flint, just in time to block Eto'o's shot!
Inter fans in the stands hugged their heads and sighed.
Just a little bit!
Just a little bit away from Inter Milan being able to equalize in a short period of time!
In the 60th minute of the game, Liverpool took the lead in substitutions.
Koeman replaced Insua with Lucas, who came on to take over from Mascherano at the back and let him play at left wing-back.
Mascherano just needs to do a good job defensively.
Even if the positional sense is not as good as playing at the back, but the defensive skills and defensive awareness are there, Mascherano is at least used to seeing big scenes, and will not be blown up by opponents so easily.
It doesn't matter if he blows up, at least he won't be obsessed with it, fall into mistakes and can't extricate himself, affecting future development.
Liverpool are starting to regain their footing.
In the 67th minute of the game, Sneijder controlled the ball in the middle of the field, and in front of Lucas, he swept the ball horizontally and shook the pass into the space, and he squeezed the ball diagonally to the right rib of the penalty area.
Mascherano was a daring man who slid the ball back into the Liverpool goal after the ball rolled over.
Maybe it's a last resort, maybe it's confident.
All in all, the sliding tackle made the Reds fans sweat.
Thankfully, Reyna calmly crossed the ball diagonally to the right and was not in danger in the box.
Johnson strode forward after receiving the ball.
After speeding through the midfield, Inter Milan were clearly slow to return, especially as Zanetti and McCone did not return to the back.
Johnson was met by Motta's wide defense, and Johnson crossed the ball to the middle.
Alonso didn't give Sneijder a chance to counter-attack, and the ball rolled in front of him with a kick, and he transferred the ball to the feet of Qin Xiong, another wide lane.
Liverpool almost did everything they could to tear the Inter defense laterally in attack!
Qin Xiong, who strode forward with the ball, changed his direction and cut inward when he came to a forty-yard area from the goal!
He just changed direction. Cambiaso stood in his way.
Qin Xiong did not entangle, and decisively passed the ball to the front of the penalty area.
Gerrard stepped in and scurried in and had a chance to shoot from distance after stopping the ball, but Gerrard calmly squeezed the ball diagonally into the right side of the box.
Kuyt rushed from the space between Zivo and Lucio for offside.
In the penalty area of Inter Milan. Kuyt had a chance to shoot with his feet, but he was still unscrupulous and selflessly crossed the ball.
Samuel alone could not keep an eye on Raul, who took the initiative to change his position.
Raul smashes a shot into the bottom left corner of the goal with the arch of his foot in the face of a passing football.
Cesar was powerless to return to the sky, rushed two steps and then knelt down in front of the goal line, looking up to the sky and screaming helplessly.
Raul rushed to the sidelines after opening the scoring. Unleash your passions.
The Liverpool generals came to Raul's side with a domineering roar and announced the king's conquest at the Meazza Stadium!
"Liverpool made a dazzling attack! It was a pleasing teamwork, with attacks from the right side of the backfield passing the ball back and forth as it moved forward, almost maximizing the width of the pitch.
In the end, it was Gerrard who created a chance for Kuyt in front of the penalty area, and we all thought that Kuyt would shoot, but we didn't expect him to make it easier to score, he fed the nanny ball to Raul, who ran out of the middle of the goal, and Raul did it in one fell swoop!
Liverpool lead Inter Milan 3:1 in Meazza! ”
Benitez gritted his teeth and there was one thing that everyone had to admit, as the game went on. The more disadvantaged Inter Milan is.
On the one hand, there is pressure from behind the score.
On the other hand, there is the ill caused by the overall aging of Inter Milan.
Like Lucio, who is nearing retirement, his explosiveness is not as explosive as before, and Cambiaso, a veteran, the interception coverage of lateral defense is gradually decreasing.
Liverpool are at their peak, especially in attack, and their explosiveness and speed are gradually making it difficult for Inter Milan to resist.
This is like a microcosm of Serie A's gradual decline in this era.
Koeman walked back to the dugout and sat down, not because he was restless, but because he was serious about the game but didn't want to put pressure on the players.
From start to finish, it wasn't a personal vendetta to win over Inter. It's Liverpool's all-season ambition.
The early foundation for qualifying for the Champions League group stage will be crucial for Liverpool throughout the season, especially in the second half of the season.
So when the score is leading, he is downplaying himself. I don't want the outside world to think that he has to have a life-and-death battle with former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez.
Not necessarily.
As for what Inter Milan thinks, whether they want revenge or regain their dignity, Koeman doesn't care.
Inter Milan, who were two goals down again, did not give up on the game, but they found that the effect of attacking the right side was not very good!
Mascherano is not a qualified full-back, at least in terms of assists, but he doesn't want to be merit in this position. It also behaved decently, at least to contain Inter Milan's offensive of frantic pressing.
On the contrary, Liverpool frequently played on the right side and continued to receive good results.
In the 74th minute of the game, Qin Xiong made a mid-distance overhead pass on the left side of the midfield and accurately delivered the ball to Raul's point.
Raul shook off Samuel to retreat to receive a header, and he flicked his header over Kuyt, who cut inside on the right and cut in front of the box.
Kuyt shoehorned the ball straight after Zivo pressed it!
Gerrard broke through Lucio's defense, and when Lucio turned, it was obvious that the Brazilian veteran's form had dropped significantly compared to last season.
Gerrard stepped into the box and looked at the goal, then fired a powerful volley!
Cesar made a merit this time, he made a lateral save and punched the ball out!
Gerald yelled to himself and turned and ran backwards.
Inter Milan failed to play on the right side, and Sneijder, the commander on the field, began to think about changing the team's attacking routine. (To be continued.) )
