Chapter 710: Inter Milan's Offensive Wave
The news spread quickly to the Inter dressing room.
After hearing this, the Inter players were full of anger at Real Madrid's contempt and arrogance.
It's only 2:1, and I'm going to open champagne to celebrate, do you take my big rice in your eyes?
3:0 is not safe, only one goal ahead, it is too arrogant!
The players were angry, but the coach was unusually calm.
Simeone Inzaghi's older brother, Filippo Inzaghi played for AC Milan.
Although Inzaghi was not selected for the Champions League final squad that year due to ankle surgery.
But he learned from his brother that such a ridiculous thing as opening champagne in the middle of the day was absolutely impossible.
"It's good that you have this fighting spirit, but don't lose your cool."
Inzaghi Jr. drew a large circle in the Real Madrid midfield with a pen, and circled the points representing Modric and Kroos.
"Let's go on, I can tell you about the Real Madrid loophole just now, and I can tell you very responsibly."
Inzaghi Jr. tapped the tactical board with his hand knuckle and said, "These two people are Real Madrid's loopholes." ”
"In the first half, in exchange for the initiative in the midfield, Real Madrid consumed a lot of two people, and they couldn't last the whole game at all."
"We are going to take advantage of this opportunity to hit them in the ribs."
"I don't care if the opponent has champagne in the dressing room or not."
'But I know that if we can't pull a goal back, they'll kick us off in front of us.'
"It's a shame, understand?"
The players shouted: "Understood! ”
"Now that you understand, I'll see how you perform in the second half."
In the second half, Real Madrid attacked.
When Benzema passed the ball back, Inter immediately launched a frantic forward press and went up to fight with his body.
This is not only because the score is behind, but also a little bit of personal grudges.
Against the more ordinary Modric, it was a little unbearable.
[Inter Milan obviously strengthened the attacking rhythm in the second half!] 】
[It's really fierce! 】
[Simeone Inzaghi knows that once the midfield of Real Madrid is running! ] 】
There aren't many teams in the world that can compete with them! 】
[Rossi, Benzema and Vinicius in the front line can turn you upside down! ] 】
As soon as the words ended, Inter Barella fouled Kroos and received a yellow card.
Kroos, as the initiator of Real Madrid's attack at the back, restricting him is tantamount to cutting off the first step of Real Madrid's counterattack.
Cross, who fell to the ground, got up with the help of his teammates, and then straightened his messy haircut.
Inter's second-half tactics worked, and Simeone immediately took the second step.
Romelu Lukaku came off the bench to replace striker Dzeko.
In this game, Dzeko had a clear role at both ends of the pitch.
Inter switched from attack to defence, with the depth of the two wing-backs leaving only three defenders in midfield.
This is clearly not enough.
Dzeko's deep defense is the key to Inter's ability to withstand Real Madrid's counterattack.
However, this high-output style of play also made the veteran Dzeko's physical fitness quickly dry up and he was replaced by Lukaku.
Inter Milan "one high and one fast", once again combined.
Romelu Lukaku's appearance represents a signal for Inter to strengthen their attack.
Because Lu Yuanwai will not retreat as deeply as Dzeko.
On the offensive end, he has the speed advantage that Dzeko lacks.
In the 60th minute, Lukaku received a pass from his teammates and pushed forward with the ball.
Modric didn't dare to grab easily.
With Lukaku's size and speed, it's a completely heavy tank, knocking the defenders straight away.
Militão was moving over to help defend when Lukaku tucked the ball in.
Lautaro cut diagonally behind Militão and fired a low shot at the ball.
Rudiger and Thibaut Courtois crossed in front of goal to keep the ball out.
Two minutes later, it was Romelu Lukaku again, receiving a cross from a team-mate up front and turning his back to Luka Modric.
This time, Tchouameni came to help.
However, Lukaku chose to turn around and force the middle, and after drawing the Real Madrid defense over, he split the side again.
Calhanoglu cut in from behind to cross the ball into the box, and Lautaro flicked his header in front of the goal, and the ball went straight into the corner.
At the critical moment, it was Courtois who flew to intercept and dragged the ball off the crossbar with a backhand.
During this time, Inter seized the opportunity of the decline in the fitness of Real Madrid's midfielders and used Lukaku to frequently attack the defence.
Just when Inter were about to take a corner, Real Madrid made a substitution.
Valverde and Ceballos came off the bench.
Substitutions for Luka Modric and Kroos.
The role of the "two elders" on the field is to use their strong ball control ability and rich game experience to consume the physical energy of Inter players.
But in the first half, in order to save the decline, the two veterans met friends with martial arts and had a tough encounter with the Inter midfielder.
Although they scored at the end of the first half, the two failed to achieve the goal of attrition of the opponent, laying the groundwork for the team to fall into disadvantage in the second half.
Carlo Ancelotti brought on two young, controlling and impactful midfielders in an attempt to inject vitality.
However, the Inter midfielders are still full of physical energy, and they have the advantage of playing more and less to quickly destroy Real Madrid's unformed midfield.
In the 65th minute, Calhanoglu took the ball from the left rib and passed into the penalty area.
Rudiger grabbed the first point and headed the ball out of the box.
Due to the fact that the Real Madrid defense was too deep, the defense on the perimeter was too loose.
Dumfries rushed to the landing spot, leaped high and headed the ball back into the box over Ceballos's head.
As a wing-back, Dumfries has a tall stature and is an important point for Inter in the front court.
In the box, Romelu Lukaku and Antonio Rudiger battled each other, forcing each other to jump and fight for the top.
At that moment, another wing-back, Dimarco, suddenly came out and took advantage of Lukaku's cover to head the ball towards the goal.
Courtois, who had already rushed to the goal line, quickly retreated in panic, jumped up and straightened his waist, and stretched out one arm.
But the ball slipped through his fingertips and crashed into the net.
【GOAL!!!!! 】
[The ball is in!] 】
[Inter equalizes! ] 】
[This is an attack instigated by Inter Milan by taking advantage of its own height! ] 】
[Continuous high-altitude operation, Real Madrid's defense line is unbearable after all! ] 】
[Dimarco's header is very smart! ] 】
[The two teams are back on the same starting line again! 】
[But this goal was conceded by Real Madrid just after making adjustments! ] 】
[This is quite a serious blow to morale! 】
Dimarco, who helped the team equalize, excitedly rushed to his own fan area and came to a silky kneel to celebrate with the fans.
When it was learned that the Real Madrid dressing room opened champagne in the midfield, the players of the national rice team were holding back their energy.
They secretly vowed in their hearts that they would make Real Madrid pay for their actions.
Inzaghi Jr. also clenched his fists and roared, then raised his arms to signal the fans to make a bigger noise.
As the head coach, he knows very well that he has to take advantage of the low morale of Real Madrid to win the game in one go.
Ancelotti, on the other hand, made unhurried substitution adjustments.
Vázquez, ready to come off the bench.
