Chapter 579: The First Battle of Barcelona (4)

"First half!" Mourinho said these words as soon as he entered the dressing room, and then paused, "I'm not satisfied!" ”

The Inter players, who were happy because of the lead in the score, were shouted at by Mourinho and suddenly calmed down again, as if this was Mourinho's habit, and he always liked to make some remarks that were not so different from others. The players knew that this might even be Mourinho's way of expressing their pride, but they had to stop and listen to what Mourinho had to say.

"Aside from this penalty opportunity from Handsome, I don't see anything to boast about in attack." Mourinho said: "You have to know that this is Meazza and we have to not only not let the opponent score, but also let the opponent score. I know that Barcelona may be the most difficult team to deal with in world football at the moment, but don't forget that no matter how difficult the team is, there are weaknesses, and handsome has grasped this weakness, handsome, you can tell everyone, the opponent's weakness is there! ”

Han Sen was trying to communicate with Materazzi in Italy, when he suddenly heard Mourinho say this, so he had to switch to English and say: "Speed! ”

Mourinho nodded: "That's right, speed!" Barcelona, with the exception of Messi, is not advancing fast overall, especially in defence, where their speed is more average. Therefore, if we want to crush Barcelona, we must adopt a fast-paced attack, and in the counterattack, do not leave the slightest chance for the opponent! ”

The second half restarted, and the Barcelona players all looked solemn. Guardiola also walked out of the aisle with his head bowed expressionlessly, and sat straight into the coach's box, looking. The storm in Barcelona's midfield dressing room was much stronger than Inter's.

However, Mourinho's fast-paced style of play still takes the lead! One minute into the second half, Samuel Eto'o unloaded the ball on the right rib and Sneijder fired a low left-footed shot from 18 yards in front of the goal. In the 50th minute, Hansen dribbled horizontally from 25 meters in front of the goal, and then shot with his feet was received by ValdΓ©s, who was well prepared. One minute later, Sneijder counter-attacked with a pass. Samuel Eto'o cut the line down the right and cut past Puyol, who was humiliated by his former team-mate again after being shaken down by Hansen once in the first half. He couldn't help but reach back and trip Eto'o, but because the collision was not serious, Eto'o fell in a mediocre position, so the referee only issued a verbal warning. And no cards were given!

After 10 minutes of fast-paced furious attacks. Inter Milan's players on the field began to get a little tired, after all, most of the time Barcelona controlled the rhythm, while following Barcelona's ball control, while counterattacking and pounced like a mad dog, this kind of rhythm of the game can be said to be the most fatigued! Ben said that according to pure physical strength, Han Sen could not be the best in the team, but because he had certain core privileges. There is no need to defend desperately, and there are even some possession opportunities. So at this time, Han Sen barely felt that it was unsustainable! Captain Zanetti is a well-known iron man, experienced in a hundred battles, and such a game can be more or less bearable!

And the other midfielder Muntari is a little unbearable, this strong black midfielder, from the first minute of the game, has been frantically pressing all over the field, although the performance is not eye-catching, but definitely one of the heroes behind the scenes, at least he spared no physical strength and did not hesitate to steal the position, ensuring that Barcelona has not yet got a decent offensive scoring opportunity.

Mourinho saw that Muntari was almost depleted, so he replaced Muntari with Stankovic. In the 63rd minute, Ibrahimovic fired a long-range shot from the left that went wide of the near post. In the 66th minute, Milito received a direct pass from Han Sen, and under the siege of several defenders, Stankovic, who was striding to catch up, volleyed high from 17 meters in front of the goal! Barcelona immediately counter-attacked, and one minute later, Xavi's left-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Zivo. In the 72nd minute, it was Xavi who started the ball on the right side of the penalty area, Henry fired a left-footed volley 13 meters from the goal, and Alves grabbed a shovel shot with Messi on the edge of the small penalty area!

Seeing Inter get closer and closer to winning the defending title at home, Pep Guardiola played the last card, replacing Henry with Iniesta. Although Thierry Henry is still powerful as a striker, he has much less time to possess the ball than Andres Iniesta. And Iniesta, after coming on the field, completely suppressed the forward of McCone on the right side of Inter. At this time, Sneijder was also exhausted, Mourinho replaced Sneijder with Thornton, changed the three strikers to two strikers, and completely put Hansen in the forward position.

Seeing Muntari and Sneijder go down, Han Sen also felt a little powerless in the close follow-up of Yaya Toure and Keita throughout the game, and hurriedly signaled Mourinho to prepare for a substitution. In the 77th minute, Iniesta and Messi hit the wall in the middle, Messi shared the ball, Ibrahimovic shot vigorously on the right side 14 meters away from the goal, Samuel flew to block, the ball hit Samuel's body suddenly deflected, Inter's Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar flew almost at the same time as Samuel, and the ball was powerless in the face of this line change! 1 to 1! Just when the fourth official on the sidelines had already raised the sign of No. 8 for No. 13 and Mota for Han Sen, Ibrahimovic's line change refracted and scored the goal to equalize the score!

Han Sen's heart sank, but at this time, the referee's whistle sounded, signaling for a substitution!

He Wei said regretfully: "The game went to this juncture, the opponent changed the situation, and Han Sen was replaced as a core player. Arguably, it doesn't get any worse than that. ”

Xu Yang said: "Mota's decision to replace Han Sen should have been a plan made before Ibrahimovic scored, but I didn't expect that when Inter was preparing for a smooth substitution transition, Ibrahimovic scored this goal, of course, whether this goal is an Ismuel goal or Samuel's own goal, it is also debatable for the time being!" Today, the two sky-high exchange players of Inter and Barcelona have contributed to the new club, and it can be said that both Barcelona and Inter have temporarily saved face for the sky-high transfer fees paid! ”

Although the scene changed dramatically in an instant, Han Sen's end was still applauded by Meazza thunderous, Han Sen was a little helpless, but he had to leave the court, and he didn't respond to the enthusiasm of the fans, but bowed his head and walked to the sidelines to high-five Mota, and then took Giuseppe? The coat that Baresi handed over walked straight into Meazza's semi-underground bench!

He Wei said uneasily: "Now that Sneijder and Han Sen have left the game on Inter Milan's side, can Inter Milan hold on to the draw?" ”

Xu Yang said with certainty: "In fact, after Han Sen and Sneijder got off the field, Inter's style of play can be more simple, without taking into account the so-called midfield luxury, today's game is very intense, and most of the Barcelona players have no physical strength, plus this is only the first round of the group stage, the two teams are not expected to fight to the death." ”

Sure enough, there were no waves in the subsequent game, and the two sides dragged on for the 10 minutes of the game. Inter Milan did not dominate the whole game, Hansen made a shocking breakthrough in exchange for a penalty lead, and Barcelona scored a refracted goal from Ibrahimovic when the possession was higher than Inter Milan at full-time, and at the last moment of the game, he retreated from Meazza and took away one point. One won the momentum against the defending champions, and the other got the result away from home, which can be described as a great joy for everyone!

When the final whistle blew, Han Sen got up and took the initiative to find Guardiola, wanting to politely invite Guardiola to stay in Milan again, after Guardiola shook hands with Mourinho, he didn't wait for Han Sen to speak, just patted Han Sen casually on the shoulder, and hurried back to the player's tunnel, letting Han Sen stand there, full of words and not embarrassed. Assistant coach Vilanova seemed to know what Hansen was thinking, and walked over and said: "We will be back to Barcelona in a while, you still have a chance to go back to Camp Nou, so you don't need to rush to meet everyone at this time." ”

Listening to Villanova say this, Han Sen believed that Guardiola had also understood his thoughts, so he deliberately left quickly, in this case, then he really had no need to be polite, Han Sen reluctantly shook hands with Villanova and said goodbye, thinking, it seems that the gap between the top and bottom of the Barcelona club, for a moment or three, there is no chance to make up for it.

In the same group, Dynamo Kyiv of Ukraine reversed Russia's Kazan Rubin 3-1 at home and temporarily topped Group F with 3 points, while Barcelona temporarily ranked second with an away draw, Inter Milan was third, and Rubin Kazan was at the bottom. (To be continued......)
