BJ时间2月19日凌晨，2013-14赛季欧冠1/8决赛首回合展开争夺，小组赛力压巴黎圣日尔曼排名榜首普及16强的国际米兰队迎来了德甲劲旅勒沃库森的挑战。

It should be said that Inter Milan has drawn a good lottery. When facing Bundesliga teams, Inter Milan has always won more than they lost, as evidenced by their recent results against Bayern Munich.

Facing Leverkusen as a guest in this game, Inter Milan coach Benitez said very clearly in an interview that Inter Milan only needs to shrink their formation, defend well, and focus on counterattacks.Although these words sound a bit contemptuous of the Bundesliga teams, the reality is that most Bundesliga teams, including Bayern Munich, are afraid of Inter Milan's Italian defensive counterattack.

In this round of home games, the Leverkusen team played in a 4-2-31 formation. The No. 1 goalkeeper, German international Leno, made his debut.

On the defensive line, Hilbert served as the starting right back, and Guardado served as the left back on the left.

Spasic and Toprak formed the starting central defender line for Leverkusen.

In the midfield, Rolfers and Lars Bender partnered in the starting midfielder, Sam rushed forward, and Korean supernovas Son Heung-min and Castro separated on the two wings.No. 11 Kisling on the front line acts as a bridgehead at the forefront.

The defending champion Inter Milan in the away game changed their formation and formed a 4-2-2 formation.

Slovenian goalkeeper Oblak is still the team's starting goalkeeper. In the defense, Kyle Walker is the starting right back, Felipe Luis is on the left, and Godin and Hummels are the starting central defenders.

In the midfield, Guarin, Nzonzi and Cambiasso started together, Kovacic rushed forward, and Jingxuan and Icardi formed a double striker combination of one high and one fast.

The game has just started. Leverkusen, who are playing at home, are trying to grab the start. Lars Bender hooves the ball into the Inter Milan penalty area. Godin jumps high and leans back to head the ball out. The ball, a small step to control the ball and one-on-one with Kyle Walker, then went out with the right foot, dodged the Inter Milan full-back, then dunked in, cut inward to get rid of Kyle Walker, and the right side of the penalty area was away from the goal 25 meters away kicked and volleyed the far corner of the goal.

Oblak jumped up and made a save. The Korean star's shot was of high quality. The ball circled a large arc, and finally slid past the goal and flew out of the baseline. The home fans exclaimed, and Inter Milan escaped. Doomed.

In the 2nd minute of the game, Rolfes slanted the ball after the midfielder controlled the ball. After receiving the ball from the side, Castro used his speed to force Felipe Luis, but he failed to get rid of the Brazilian full-back.He then barely made a 45° cross, and Kisling leaped high in the middle, ahead of his compatriot Hummels, and rushed to the top with a header.

Hummels also jumped very high, Kisling did not exert enough strength, and the ball was finally picked up easily by the jumping Oblak in front of the goal.

In the 5th minute of the game, Inter Milan had their first chance to counterattack. Sun Xingmin tried to break through Kyle Walker from the left and failed. Indicates that the game will continue.

Cambiasso received the pass from Kyle Walker, pulled his right foot back, got rid of Lars Bender's outstretched foot, and then knocked the ball with his heel to the side and rear, and Felipe Luis took the ball with an arc The 30-meter ground ball was passed to the left of Leverkusen near the penalty area line. After Jingxuan ran to catch the ball, he used the change of rhythm to drive away Hilbert, and after seeing Icardi's position , the left corner rubbed the pass to the middle, Icardi grabbed the header in front of Spasic, hit the ball on the left post and bounced out, Hilbert quickly stretched his foot to clear the siege, kicked the ball out of the left line, The Leverkusen team was therefore lucky to escape unharmed.

In the 8th minute of the game, when Castro dribbled the ball from the right, he suddenly made an emergency stop and crossed his foot, which was passed to the Korean star Sun Xingmin on the left. After receiving the ball, Sun Xingmin picked up Kyle Walker and was caught by the latter when he tried to break through. Knocked down, the referee awarded Leverkusen a free kick on the right side of the penalty area.

Sam hoisted the ball into the Inter Milan penalty area, Kisling hit the front and back, and Lars Bender made a high jump in the middle and jumped over the lintel.It should be said that Leverkusen's tactical design is very beautiful, and Bender's final shot was only slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 13th minute of the game, Inter Milan counterattacked quickly. Cambiasso missed the ball in the midfield. Felipe Luis took the ball and took it to the frontcourt to cross Kovacic. Rub it up and send it to the Leverkusen penalty area.

Jingxuan on the left keeps the ball and directs the ball to the arch of the foot. After Icardi stops the ball on the chest and passes Toprak on the right, the ball is 8 meters away from the goal. After the ball bounces, he volleys with his right foot and scores the goal. In the lower left corner of the door, goalkeeper Leno was beyond his reach, and the score on the field became 1:0. Inter Milan took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the away game.

The configuration and running position of Inter Milan's three midfielders effectively liberated Felipe Luiz in the counterattack, allowing Inter Milan's full-backs to take the ball to the frontcourt and instigate the attack.

In the 15th minute of the game, Lars Bender took a long-range shot 30 meters away from the goal. Oblak did not dare to push the ball too far, and dragged the ball out of the goal with one hand. Leverkusen got a left corner kick Chance.

Sam took a corner kick, Kisling headed the ball in front of the point and rubbed it back, Rolfess ferryed in the middle, and Sun Xingmin on the right shot angrily at the ball.

The ball was played very powerfully, and it flew out of the baseline against the upper corner of the right goal. The Leverkusen team was only 20 centimeters away from the goal.

In the 18th minute of the game, the Asian duo got a chance to confront directly. Inter Milan took a tactical corner kick to you. Jingxuan cut in and dribbled the ball. Sun Xingmin tried to tackle at his side. Kneeling on the ground and shoveling, Jingxuan jumped the ball and got rid of the king of Korea. After landing, he volleyed from the left corner. The ball was powerful, but the angle was not tricky enough. Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno stepped back. He took a step, jumped up and hit the ball out of the baseline with a single punch, and the Leverkusen team escaped.

In the 22nd minute of the game, during the counterattack, Sun Xingmin caught the ball and wiped Kyle Walker, and then 28 meters away from the goal, he kicked the ball with his right foot to the upper right corner of the goal and scored the ball!The score on the field was rewritten to 1:1.
This sudden shot helped Leverkusen equalize the score, and at the same time proved to the world that Korean stars also have the super-class ability to instantly change the result of the game.

After Sun Xingmin scored a goal, Leverkusen teammates stepped forward to celebrate him. It was rumored earlier that Tottenham Hotspur had taken a fancy to him and even made an offer to Leverkusen. I don’t know the Korean star Will he move to the Premier League after the end of the season?

The two sides who returned to the same starting line have since reached a stalemate. It seems that no one wants to change the rhythm suddenly and try to break the balance on the field.

In the 28th minute of the game, Jingxuan received the ball from the corner of the penalty area on the left side, leaning on Hilbert's heel and knocked the ball into the middle of the penalty area. Icardi scored with a stab shot, but was ruled offside first and the goal was invalid .But the slow-motion replay shows that Icardi was on the same line as the defender at the moment Jingxuan passed the ball with his heel, which was an obvious misjudgment.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Cambiasso made a long pass from midfield, and Icardi stopped the ball in the chest in the penalty area and returned it. Kovacic kept up and hit the goal higher than the lintel.

In the 35th minute of the game, Castro slanted from the side, Kisling pulled down the penalty area and passed back in an inverted triangle. Sam caught the ball and had no room to shoot. He dialed to the left, Lars Bender followed and hit the left The side post popped out, and the Leverkusen team regrettably missed a good opportunity to overtake the score.

Finally, with the whistle of the referee, the first half of the game ended.

During the intermission, Benitez asked Nzonchi to strengthen the defense on the side. Sun Xingmin was too comfortable in the first half.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. In the 51st minute of the game, Inter Milan played a wonderful cooperation. Kyle Walker assisted and stepped forward. Jingxuan and Kovacic switched positions. Going back, Jingxuan kicked the ball with his knee in the middle, then fell to the ground and made a stab shot from the left corner. He rushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal before Spasic intercepted it. The score on the field became 2:1. Inter Milan played again in the away game took the lead.

After conceding the ball, the Leverkusen team strengthened the frontcourt press, but the formation did not improve too much.

In the 55th minute of the game, Bender's midfielder strode the ball, got rid of the interceptions of Guarin and Cambiasso, and chose to give it to the right side 23 meters away. Castro put on a big cross, and Godin fell. The ball was blocked by the ground, and Sam, who followed him, slammed the goal vigorously. The ball was touched by Oblak who fell to the ground, but the shot was too powerful, and the ball finally rolled into the lower right corner of the goal. The score was rewritten to 2:2, and the Leverkusen team equalized the score like lightning!

After scoring the goal, all Leverkusen players hugged each other. Facing the powerful Inter Milan today, they don't have too much burden in their hearts. As long as they can play beautifully, they can score as many goals as possible!
After conceding the ball, Inter Milan gradually controlled the midfield, but did not rush to attack.In the two rounds of the game, especially the away game against a not weak Bundesliga team, two away goals can be scored, even if the final game is tied, it is not unacceptable.

In the 65th minute of the game, the Leverkusen team took the lead in making substitution adjustments, and Reinarts replaced Rolfes, who was generally performing normally. Two minutes later, Inter Milan also made substitution adjustments. Shaheen came on the stage, replacing the veteran Cambiasso who had a marked decline in physical fitness.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Inter Milan played a wonderful cooperation. Jingxuan suddenly inserted into the penalty area when the left side was originally static. Shaheen's position in the middle circle had a tacit understanding, and a 40-meter long pass was accurately sent to the penalty area. Jingxuan followed Without making any adjustments, he volleyed directly from the left corner of his instep. The ball hit hard and flew into the upper right corner of the goal like a shell. Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno did not respond at all, he could only turn his head and watch the ball enter the net. , the score on the field became 3:2, and Inter Milan took the lead for the third time in the away game!
After scoring the goal, Jingxuan celebrated by eating her thumb. Xia Ziyin had an unexpected pregnancy before, and now she is about to give birth.

In the 78th minute of the game, Lars Bender knocked down Shaheen in midfield, but the referee signaled a reasonable collision. The game continued. Bender dribbled the ball towards the Inter Milan penalty area. Getting to Bender made him stagger and concede the ball, but Sam intercepted the ball from the side and volleyed from 20 meters from the goal.

Fortunately, Hummels was in a good position and fell to the ground to block Sam's shot. Sun Xingmin received the ball from outside the penalty area and made a supplementary shot.
The shot was of such high quality that it bounced off the crossbar, and Kisling slammed the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal, beyond Oblak's reach.

The score on the field was rewritten to 3:3!The two sides dedicated a goal battle, which made the audience overwhelmed.

In the 83rd minute of the game, the Leverkusen team had another good opportunity. Sun Xingmin made a high-speed pass from the left side of the baseline. The ball hit Godin's waist and bounced towards the goal. Fortunately, Oblak reacted quickly, fell to the ground and stretched out his hand to fish out the ball that was about to cross the goal line. Inter Milan escaped unharmed!
In the 86th minute of the game, Inter Milan made another personnel adjustment, and Sanchez came on to replace Guarin.

I saw Sanchez break through with the ball from the right, and Sun Xingmin pulled Sanchez down while defending, but the referee only gave a verbal warning.

It can be seen that when the Korean star was defending just now, his running pace was a little slow, and his physical energy was obviously exhausted.

Inter Milan won a free kick on the right. Kovacic stood in front of the ball, and he raised his hand to show the free kick tactics.

It may be a problem with the turf. His pass did not go over the wall. Lars Bender headed the ball out. Sun Xingmin received the ball and formed a 2-on-3 situation in the frontcourt.

However, the South Korean star did not choose to continue dribbling the ball to open the gap, but went straight through, trying to penetrate Inter Milan's defense and give it to Castro in the front.

It's just that the Inter Milan central defender had already expected that Hummels fell to the ground and intercepted Sun Xingmin's pass, and the Leverkusen team lost a good chance to kill the game.

It should be said that if it wasn't for Sun Xingmin's poor physical fitness, he would definitely choose to continue dribbling the ball instead of a risky through pass.

At the end of the game, the fourth official on the sidelines showed the scoreboard, and there were 3 minutes of stoppage time in the second half.

Then the Leverkusen team replaced Sun Xingmin with Brandt. The South Korean international walked very slowly when he left the field. The referee kept urging him, and the South Korean international barely trotted off the field. It can be seen that Sun Xingmin was too hard in this game. Physical fitness is close to exhaustion.

In the 2nd minute of stoppage time, Jingxuan suddenly started the frontcourt, Shaheen repeated his old trick, and sent a penetrating kick straight into the penalty area. Jingxuan received the ball and evaded the Leverkusen defender. For interception, take the ball horizontally a little bit inside the penalty area and choose to hang the goal.

Leno's position is a bit forward, and he can only look at the ball and sigh, but the ball hits the lintel and bounces out. Icardi keeps up with the empty goal and misses the ball!Inter Milan missed the chance to beat Leverkusen.

In the end, in the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, the two sides ended in a 3:3 draw.
