At half-time, the back studios of the TV stations were still focusing on the goal of Glory, and many people even thought that it would compete for the best goal in the Champions League this season - although there is no such official award in the Champions League, people always like to do this kind of ranking thing, even if the Champions League official does not do it, there will be a lot of media to do it.

Glory's goal can definitely be ranked in the top three, or even the first.

However, Rongguang himself doesn't care what historical status this ball will have in the end.

Resting in the dressing room, he is now more concerned about what will happen to the team in the second half, he has never hidden his thoughts, he came to Meaza to get revenge.

Inter Milan eliminated his Manchester City last season, giving him a bitter taste of defeat. Even if he tasted it once in a while, Glory was not happy.

Even if I suffer once in a while, then I won't eat it!

So now it's just a draw, and Glory is not satisfied.

Be sure to win!

Even if it's an away game, it's very difficult, but you must win!

Leonardo comforted the players who were reluctant to defend because of the goal they lost at halftime, telling them that it was not their problem, that there was no way to lose the goal, and that all they had to do now was forget about the goal and adjust their mentality.

He told his players that a goal like Glory in the first half may not be able to happen again in a hundred games, and that it is completely Glory playing at a super level, and it is not a big deal if he can't prevent that kind of ball. But just don't keep conceding goals.

So don't worry too much about glory blowing them up......

In this game, it is Inter Milan who will play at home, and they have the advantage of being at home, so there is no need to worry about Manchester City.

This is a countermeasure that Leonardo came up with on an improvised basis.

He looked at his players as if they were frightened by a glorious goal. He realised that getting the players back to normal was the most important thing, more than any tactics.

So at halftime he spent five minutes doing a psychological massage.

In terms of tactics, he just made some minor adjustments, such as not pressing too high when attacking, and there must be enough people left in the backfield, so as not to give Manchester City too much space to counterattack.

Secondly, it is to require the players to actively counter-attack when they are in the front court, and if they can't stop it, they must commit a foul immediately.

The cost of a foul in the front court is much smaller than a foul in the back court, and it is not easy to get a card, unless it is a very strict foul, otherwise you pull a trip, and the referee will at most give a verbal warning, and sometimes there is not even a verbal warning.

Therefore, to stop Manchester City's rapid counterattack, there is really no way to deploy troops in the backfield, so actively defend and foul in the frontcourt.

It's also a strategy.

※※※

Leonardo's work at half-time really paid off, and he calmed down the mentality of the Inter players.

The Inter Milan players themselves have figured it out - the goal of glory is indeed an unavoidable world wave, and they rely on luck to score such a goal, which does not mean that they have the upper hand. As long as we don't mess up, the advantage is still on our side!

Many times, we lose because our side collapses first, as long as we don't collapse, where does Manchester City have a chance?

The mentality of the Inter Milan players is normal, and their appearance on the pitch is naturally normal.

It will be difficult for Manchester City to score another goal if they want to take advantage of their equaliser.

Therefore, an equaliser before the end of the first half is not necessarily a good thing. For the equalisers, their morale has just come up, the opponent has collapsed, and the time has come...... Entering the halftime, fifteen minutes passed, no momentum was gone, and the opponent also eased up.

You have to start from scratch and start all over again.

The two sides are really back on the same page.

Not only in terms of scores, but also psychologically.

Manchester City are still thinking of taking advantage of the momentum of the equaliser to score again, but this Inter Milan team is no longer what it was when they conceded in the first half.

City's attack didn't work, and they almost conceded a goal.

Benitez quickly made adjustments, gave up the idea of attacking, and continued to shrink the defense and play defensive counterattacks.

Anyway, against Inter Milan away, a point is already a victory, and we will win against them when we return to home.

As a manager, Benitez has to keep his brain calm at all times, so he doesn't have much thought about revenge.

Of course, it's good to be able to win and get revenge, but if you can't win, don't lose, otherwise if you can't get revenge and lose again, wouldn't it be a joke?

And Inter Milan saw that Manchester City was shrinking its defense, and they didn't dare to press it up to attack like this, because they knew very well that Manchester City's defense counterattacked strongly, and the goal conceded in the first half was actually a counterattack by Manchester City.

Therefore, Inter Milan also seems timid in attacking, and does not dare to press on a big scale.

The two sides were at a stalemate.

The minutes passed in this stalemate.

Of course, a stalemate doesn't mean the game isn't good.

In this stalemate, both sides still have opportunities, but no one has grasped it.

As the clock ticked, there was less and less time left in the game, and the game was already in the sixty-seventh minute.

With just over twenty minutes to go, the game was over.

At this time, Inter Milan couldn't hold it back.

They can't really accept a 1-1 draw with Manchester City.

Not winning Manchester City at home is not only a bad face for Inter Milan, but also very bad for the fight for the top spot in the group.

Manchester City have won two group games in a row, and if Inter Milan can't beat them at home, it will be difficult to stop them, and Inter Milan have no belief that Werder Bremen, who have the same belly as Twente, will be able to beat Manchester City with the same glory as their own son.

Therefore, in order to win the group, Inter Milan must first beat Manchester City at home, so that in terms of points, Inter Milan will overtake Manchester City by one point.

Next, away Manchester City, as long as the opponent is drawn, it is still a one-point lead.

The next two games were weak for both opponents, and Inter did not think they could be held to a draw at home by FC Twente.

As long as they win their remaining two games, they will be top of the group, regardless of what City side are doing.

That's what Inter Milan is trying to do.

But first, for this wishful thinking to kick off, Inter Milan will have to win at home.

As time goes on, if the score is still like this, it will be very bad for Inter Milan.

Leonardo, who was on the sidelines, frowned, having managed to keep his team at bay from City's attack at the start of the second half, but now he was facing new problems.

Offensive?

What should Manchester City do on the counter-attack?

Not offensive?

What if it just turns into a draw?

※※※

Benitez has a reason for asking his team to shrink their defence and Inter Milan to take their time.

For this, Rongguang understands very well.

However, Glory never gave up the idea of scoring another goal against Inter.

Since the whole team can't support him, then he will do it alone!

In the second half, Glory was always looking for an opportunity to score. Unfortunately, Inter Milan defended him very tightly after he scored, and he basically couldn't find a chance.

Seeing that the time for the game was running out, Glory was also anxious.

Leonardo does not accept a draw, and Glory does not accept a draw!

In the 76th minute, Rongguang retreated to receive the ball as usual, but as soon as he received the ball from Sneijder, he was brought down by Deco.

The referee's whistle blew and Deco was awarded a free-kick at the back.

This was the tactic used by Inter Milan in the second half, through fouls and small movements in front of the court, to stop or slow down City's counter-attack.

It's been tried and tested before.

This time, after Rongguang was overthrown to the ground, he didn't lie on the ground and couldn't get up, and then rolled around twice with his legs covered, in order to put pressure on the referee and ask the referee to pull out a card or something for the opponent.

He jumped up directly from the ground, and then scooped up the football next to him, and kicked the football out before he even had time to straighten his waist!

Free kick fast!

Then he quickly thrust forward!

Now all he has to do is trust his teammates to understand his intentions.

The person who was next to him at that time was Ibrahimovic, so he also thought about it a lot, so he passed the football directly to Ibrahimovic. Sneijder or anyone else was a little far away from him, and if he kicked the ball over, it wouldn't have the effect of a sudden counter-attack.

Ibrahimovic was not in good form in this game, in the first half he was in a hurry to compete with Inter Milan, and in the second half he was a little sleepwalking.

It was at this time that he saw Glory pass the football to him, and then rushed out like an arrow!

His originally muddy brain suddenly brightened up at this time, and he regained his clarity.

He knows very well what Glory is trying to do, this is to catch Inter Milan off guard!

And what should you do?

Instead of taking the ball and passing several people with the ball, it is about passing the ball out again and passing it to the front of glory!

It's just that if he does this, if Glory scores, he will throw himself further and further away in the scorer list...... He has already scored one goal in this game, and if he scores again, it will be five Champions League goals!

Do you want to be glorified?

There wasn't much time left for Ibrahimovic to think, and all sorts of thoughts came up and sank in his head, but in reality it was less than a second before the football was rolling to his feet.

At this time, Deco was still spreading his hands to the referee, signaling that he hadn't done anything, and he hadn't noticed that not far from him, Rongguang was hunched and was starting.

The attention of other players is also on the referee at this time, even Inter Milan is no exception......

This is a great opportunity......

It was at this moment that the football rolled to the feet of Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic lifted his right foot, turned sideways and kicked it straight towards the ball!

The soccer ball arcs in the air and falls straight to the front of the glorious running route!

He has already made his choice!

Pass!

Pass to Glory to fight back!
