Chapter 150 The End of the First Battle
During the intermission, Benitez had instructed the team that the task of the second half is to do a good job in defensive counterattack.

If the goal has not been conceded after 70 minutes, or Inter Milan has scored again, then Jingxuan can leave the field early to rest.

After the start of the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again. In the 47th minute of the game, Inter Milan played a counterattack. Maicon and Eto’o formed a cooperation on the right. Eto’o made a transition. Triangular back to do the middle.

The ball was touched by Nemanja Vidic and changed its trajectory. Milito tried to hit the goal directly but failed, so he adjusted the ball and kicked again.

This time Van der Sar was prepared. He fell to the side and threw the ground ball shot by Milito into his arms.

In the 51st minute of the game, Manchester United attacked in the frontcourt. Due to the retraction of Inter Milan's formation, Manchester United did not create as many opportunities to pass and threaten the ball as in the first half.

I saw Giggs taking the ball from the side, and suddenly drove into the Inter Milan penalty area with a big foot. The little pea header missed the ball, and Cesar hit the ball out of the penalty area.

Lu Xiaopang volleyed the ball at the top of the arc. The ball hit an arc and flew out of the baseline by touching the upper right corner of the goal. Manchester United missed the best chance to score after the opening of the second half.

In the 55th minute of the game, Shaheen was a bit sticky with the ball in the backcourt and did not pass the ball in time. After Park Ji-sung made a steal, he went straight to the penalty area. Lucio and David Luiz jointly tackled, but the ball bounced to Hernand by accident. Si feet.

Facing the attacking Cesar, "Little Pea" chose to lob a shot at the far corner of the goal, only to see that the ball crossed a parabola, hit the outside of the far goal post and rolled out of the baseline.

"Little Pea" looked up to the sky and sighed, as long as the ball is slightly to the right by 10 cm, it can form a goal.

Manchester United, who missed opportunities one after another, was quickly punished. In the 61st minute of the game, Jingxuan took control of the ball in the middle of the midfield, and suddenly threw a long diagonal ball into the right side of Manchester United's penalty area. Maicon, who inserted at high speed, scored in the penalty area After the ball, he stabbed through the wicket of Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar, and Inter Milan took a 3-0 lead at home.

At this moment, the players of the Inter Milan team became more and more relaxed, firmly controlling the situation on the field.

In the 65th minute of the game, Manchester United's frontcourt pass was cut off. Jingxuan tried to hoist into the penalty area with a big foot after the midfielder took the ball, but it was a pity that Eto'o outflanked and grabbed the point by half a beat. Inter Milan missed the opportunity to continue to expand the lead Chance.

At this time, the mentality of the Manchester United team is a bit broken, which is a good opportunity for Inter Milan to secure the victory.

In the 70th minute of the game, Jingxuan was surrounded by Manchester United players when he was holding the ball in midfield. When he made physical contact with Carrick, Jingxuan stepped on the ball and slipped. There was no small shock, and there was even a slight sound. Although there was no pain because of the sealing, Jingxuan realized that the situation was not good.

In order to avoid the psychological pressure on his teammates due to his aggravated injury, Jingxuan winked at the coach on the sidelines. Benitez had been paying attention to Jingxuan's situation, and it was time for the agreed substitution time, so Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, the Inter Milan coach replaced Jingxuan with Coutinho.

"Jing, how are you feeling?"

"I'm okay!"

When passing by Benitez, the coach of Inter Milan asked a special question, and Jingxuan could only answer that he was fine.

There are also personnel transfers on the Manchester United side. In order to strengthen the offense, Ferguson sent Anderson and Scholes.

In the 75th minute of the game, Scholes took the ball outside the penalty area and was brought down from behind by Thiago Motta. Manchester United won the goal in front of the penalty area.

A good direct free kick opportunity along the position, but it is a pity that the heavy bombardment in front of Scholes' goal is slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 79th minute of the game, Coutinho and Sanchez were cooperating on the wing. After Coutinho received the ball, he took it to the corner of the penalty area on the left, and then shot the far corner of the goal.

This long-range shot has a great arc, but unfortunately it is slightly higher than the upper right corner of the goal. If it can be shot within the goal range, Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar will have nothing to do.

In the 82nd minute of the game, Scholes split the side in the middle. Valencia made a 45° cross with his right foot. Goalkeeper Cesar gets it easily.

In the 84th minute of the game, Eto'o, Milito and Sanchez cooperated in the frontcourt.Milito received Coutinho through the penalty area, and then knocked his heel to Eto'o on the right. A shot from the far corner of the goal succeeded.

But before he had time to celebrate, he was interrupted by the referee's whistle. The opposite line referee had already raised the flag. The moment Sanchez caught the ball, he stretched out a leg, and the ball was offside.

In this way, the two sides had mutual offense and defense in the last 10 minutes. If the game ends according to the current score, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to Inter Milan.

In the 89th minute of the game, Rooney took the ball in the penalty area and knocked his heel to Anderson, who came in after him.

At this moment Scholes had outflanked the spot 10 meters in front of the goal. Lucio, unable to clear the siege directly, instinctively reached out and hit the ball. The referee immediately pointed to the penalty spot and showed Lucio a red card.

Inter Milan coach Benitez spread his hands on the sidelines. His first reaction to Lucio's hot-headed move was anger. Some actions are instinctive reactions, so the Inter Milan coach is relieved.

It's just that Lucio was sent off, which made Inter Milan's already stretched central defenders even worse.If Cordoba and Samuel can't come back in the next game, then Inter Milan's defense can only be handed over to the "puffy head" and the teenager Ranocchia.

I saw Rooney standing in front of the penalty spot. He looked calm, ran up, then swayed to Cesar, and hit the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

Manchester United broke the melon in the last minute of regular time, turning the score on the field into 1:1.

After scoring the goal, Manchester United players rushed to the sidelines to celebrate excitedly. This away goal is very important to them. At least to end the game with the current score, Manchester United only needs a 2-0 return at home to eliminate Inter Milan and advance.

In the 4 minutes of stoppage time in the second half, Inter Milan, who restarted the midfield ball, consciously took the time to control the ball in the backcourt. Although they lost the ball at the last moment, the score of 3:1 was still a good result, with two goals in hand. , Inter Milan is confident that they can retreat in the away game.

At the moment, Manchester United, except for goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, are all in the half of Inter Milan. In the second minute of stoppage time, Inter Milan steals the ball from the backcourt and launches a counterattack. Single-handedly, but Van der Sar attacked early and kicked the ball out of the touchline, and Inter Milan missed the lore opportunity.

In the third and a half minutes of stoppage time, Lu Xiaopang and Scholes kicked the wall in the frontcourt. After receiving the ball, Scholes made a slight adjustment and completed a volley within a small range. shoot.

The ball flew into the upper right corner of the goal like a shell, beyond the reach of Inter Milan. Manchester United scored at the last minute of the game, tying the score to 2:3!

After the goal, the Manchester United players pressed Scholes on the turf to celebrate wildly. This goal is too important to them.

The referee then blew the whistle for the end of the game. Inter Milan defeated Manchester United 3:2 at home, but the depression was written on the faces of the Inter Milan soldiers. An away goal.
