Chapter 712 Inter Milan’s offensive wave

The news spread like wildfire and soon reached the Inter Milan dressing room.

After hearing this, the Inter Milan players were filled with anger because of their arrogance towards Real Madrid for underestimating their rivals.

It's only 2:1, and we're about to open the champagne to celebrate. Are we taking Inter Milan seriously?

Even 3:0 is not safe, only leading by one goal is too arrogant!
The players were angry, but the coach was unusually calm.

Simone 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 popping champagne at halftime would never happen.

"It's good that you have this fighting spirit, but don't lose your cool."

Inzaghi used a pen to draw a big circle in the Real Madrid midfield, and circled the dots representing Modric and Kroos.

"Let's continue. I just mentioned Real Madrid's loopholes. I can tell you responsibly."

Little Inzaghi tapped the tactical board with his knuckles and said: "These two are Real Madrid's loopholes."

"In the first half, in order to exchange for the initiative in the midfield, Real Madrid consumed a lot of energy and could not last the whole game."

"We must take advantage of this opportunity to hit them on both sides."

"I don't care if the opponent pops champagne in the dressing room."

"But I knew if we didn't get a goal back they would pop the champagne in our face."

"It's a shame, do you understand?"

The players shouted: "Understood!"

"Now that I understand, I'll look at your performance in the second half."

In the second half, Real Madrid attacked.

When Benzema passed the ball back, Inter Milan immediately started to press forward crazily and engage in physical confrontation.

This is not only because of the score, but also because of some personal grudges.

It was a bit too much to fight against the more ordinary Modric.

[Inter Milan obviously stepped up their offensive pace in the second half! 】

【The snatching is so fierce! 】

[Simone Inzaghi knows that once Real Madrid’s midfield gets going! 】

[Not many teams in the world can compete with them! 】

[Rossi, Benzema and Vinicius on the front line can turn you upside down! 】

As soon as he finished speaking, Inter Milan Varela fouled Cross and received a yellow card.

Cross is the initiator of Real Madrid's backcourt attack, and restricting him is equivalent 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 hair.

Inter Milan's tactics in the second half worked, and Simeone immediately took the second step.

Lukaku came on as a substitute, replacing striker Dzeko.

In this game, Dzeko played a very obvious role on both offense and defense.

When Inter Milan switched from offense to defense, the two wing backs returned deeply to defend, leaving only three defensive players in the midfield.

This is obviously not enough.

Dzeko's deep defense is the key to Inter Milan's ability to withstand Real Madrid's counterattack.

However, this high-output style of play also caused veteran Dzeko to quickly deplete his physical energy and was replaced by Lukaku.

Inter Milan's "one high and one fast" fit together again.

Lukaku's appearance represents a signal for Inter Milan to strengthen their offense.

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 took the ball forward after receiving a pass from his teammate.

Modric did not dare to attack easily.

With Lukaku's size and speed, he is like a heavy tank, knocking away defensive players directly.When Militao moved over to help defend, Lukaku passed the ball through.

Lautaro crossed behind Militao and shot low.

Rudiger and Courtois put their bodies across the goal and kept the ball away.

Two minutes later, it was Lukaku again, receiving a pass from his teammate in the frontcourt, with his back to Modric.

This time, Chuameni came to help defend.

But Lukaku chose to turn around and attack the center, attracting Real Madrid's defense, and then divided the sides again.

Calhanoglu, who came in from behind, passed the ball into the penalty area. Lautaro nodded and hit the goal, and the ball went straight to the dead corner.

At the critical moment, Courtois flew to intercept and dragged the ball over the crossbar with his backhand.

During this period, Inter Milan took advantage of the decline in physical fitness of Real Madrid's midfielders and used Lukaku to frequently attack the defense.

Just when Inter Milan was about to take the corner kick, Real Madrid made a substitution.

Valverde and Ceballos came off the bench.

Replace Modric and Kroos.

The role of the "Xuanming two elders" on the court is to use their strong ball control ability and rich game experience to consume the physical fitness of Inter Milan players.

But in the first half, in order to save the decline, the two veterans used force to make friends and had a head-on confrontation with the Inter Milan midfielder.

Although they scored at the end of the first half, the two failed to achieve their goal of wearing down their opponents, laying the groundwork for the team to fall into a disadvantage in the second half.

Ancelotti replaced two young, controlling and impactful midfielders in an attempt to inject vitality.

However, Inter Milan's midfielders are still physically fit and have the advantage of playing more and less, quickly destroying Real Madrid's unformed midfield.

In the 65th minute, Calhanoglu took the ball from the left rib and passed it into the penalty area.

Rudiger grabbed the first point and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

Because Real Madrid's defense was too deep, the perimeter defense was too loose.

Dumfries rushed to the landing point, jumped high, and headed the ball back to the penalty area from Ceballos' head.

As a wing-back, Dumfries has a tall figure and is an important point for Inter Milan in the frontcourt.

In the penalty area, Lukaku and Rudiger were competing with each other, forcing each other to be unable to jump for the top.

At this moment, another wing-back Dimarco suddenly came out, using Lukaku's cover, he headed the ball and lobbed it towards the goal.

Courtois, who had already rushed out of the goal line, quickly retreated in panic, took off and straightened his back, stretching one arm out.

But the ball still passed through his fingertips and fell into the net.

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! 】

[The ball has scored! 】

[Inter Milan equalizes the score! 】

[This is an attack launched by Inter Milan by taking advantage of its height advantage! 】

[Continuous high-altitude operations, Real Madrid’s defense can’t withstand it after all! 】

[Dimarco's header shot was very smart! 】

[The two teams are back on the same starting line again! 】

[But this goal was conceded by Real Madrid just after they made adjustments! 】

[This is a serious blow to morale! 】

Dimarco, who helped the team equalize the score, excitedly rushed to his fan area and performed a silky skate to celebrate with the fans.

When they heard that champagne was being opened at midfield in the Real Madrid locker room, all the players from across the country were filled with excitement.

They secretly vowed to make Real Madrid pay the price for their actions.

Inzaghi also clenched his fists and roared, then raised his arms to signal the fans to make more noise.

As the head coach, he knew very well that he had to take advantage of Real Madrid's low morale to win the game in one go.

Ancelotti, on the other hand, took his time to make substitutions.

Vazquez, ready to come off the bench.
