Chapter 515 Oolong
After Stankovic's goal, Inter Milan and Dynamo Kiev were back on the same starting line.
Not only is the score the same, but the two sides are evenly matched psychologically. Inter Milan's morale was boosted after scoring a goal, while Dynamo Kiev scored at the beginning and took the lead by 0 minutes. Fear, confidence greatly increased.
The game started again, and Inter Milan took advantage of the victory to pursue, trying to reverse the score in the last fifteen minutes of the first half and secure the victory.
Dynamo Kiev did not panic. Under the leadership of Shevchenko and Milevsky, they defended and counterattacked, and dealt with Inter Milan patiently.
Although Inter Milan's offense is much better than before, Dynamo Kiev is also a frequent visitor to the Champions League. They are strong, fast, and have good tactical skills. Because Lucio's sudden advance disrupted Dynamo Kiev's defense, and there was no unexpected attack method, it was by no means easy for Inter Milan to break through Dynamo Kiev's players for a while.
The game went on for more than ten minutes in a tense and fierce rhythm, and the first half was coming to an end in a blink of an eye. At this time, Dynamo Kiev got a corner kick.
Dynamo Kiev is also very thieves. Seeing that Inter Milan may not have time to fight back, they reversed their previous cautious and conservative attitude. Players who are good at attacking went up to grab, leaving only three players behind.
Marange took a corner kick, and Milevski suddenly stepped in and headed the ball back. This is a very common corner kick tactic. Inter Milan's players are well prepared for this. Theo is man-marking Shevchenko, the opponent's arrow.
Shevchenko was about to grab the back, but Lucio got stuck in front of Shevchenko. Lucio was very afraid of Shevchenko. He didn't dare to give the ball to the back. He jumped up and wanted to throw a lion He threw the ball out of the baseline with his head, but in a hurry, Lucio misjudged the ball's fall. Before he could make a swing after touching the ball, the ball flew out and went straight to the back corner of the goal.
Belucio was only four or five meters away from the goal. Even if it was farther away, goalkeeper Cesar would not have time to react. Who would have thought that his central defender would attack his own goal.
The ball flew into the net without any suspense, : 1, at the last moment of the first half, Dynamo Kiev took the lead again unexpectedly.
After the goal was scored, the fans of Inter Milan were stunned. They did not expect an own goal at the last moment. Many fans smashed their seats angrily and burst into foul language.
The players of Inter Milan were also very shocked and frustrated. An own goal at this time has too much impact on morale. The first half is over immediately, and there are only one or two minutes left. This is simply a fucking dog up.
Mourinho was very annoyed, but Lucio was his name, and he couldn't get angry, so he turned and went back to the locker room angrily.
On the other side, Dynamo Kiev couldn't believe their eyes, they celebrated wildly, shouting God bless, as if they had won the victory.
After Lucio scored an own goal, there was only one or two minutes left. The Inter Milan players were frustrated and anxious, unable to organize any effective offensive. After a few waves of innocuous attacks, the referee Atkinson blew When the whistle sounded for the end of the first half, the Inter Milan players could only go back to the locker room and wait for the second half to fight again.
Inter Milan was very frustrated when they walked into the locker room, no one was willing to speak, even Gao Dong, who always liked to laugh, kept his face straight.
Mourinho was standing at the door of the dressing room, waiting for the players to come in.
Lucio is very manly. After entering the locker room, he apologized to Mourinho and his teammates, "Today I am sorry to everyone and let everyone's efforts go to waste. I am sorry, coach."
The players were silent.
Mourinho said slowly: "Lucio, you don't need to apologize. Mistakes are part of a defender's job. Although you scored an own goal, you also made several successful clearances and assisted a goal. If you If you need an apology, then everyone needs to apologize because you didn't play well in the first half."
The locker room remained silent.
Mourinho continued: "We just played well in certain moments, but in 45 minutes Dynamo Kiev played more like the Serie A champions and the European giants."
There was some noise in the locker room, and some veteran players obviously didn't agree with this law.
Mourinho continued sharply: "At Inter Milan, everyone likes to talk about tactics and employing people. But what I think about is men, teams, characters and personalities. Today, I want to tell you, don't talk about it after the game. Cry, if you want to do something, do it on the field. That's where you leave all your stuff. As men, you must leave the field with a clear conscience: We did what we could This is the Champions League! This is the highest level arena in the world, you have to be like beasts, leaving your nails, teeth, heart and everything on the field, you have to use your heart, emotion, desire, Unite and fight! If you don’t have this kind of fighting spirit, if you regard yourself as a giant, as a star, you should not stay on the court, and the stands are the right place for you.”
After finishing, Mourinho turned and left the locker room, allowing the players to reflect on themselves.
As soon as Mourinho left, Eto'o yelled: "Yes, you need a fighting spirit, you have to be like a fighter."
Cambiasso couldn't understand Eto'o often pretending to be the boss of the locker room, and retorted: "No one is fighting anymore, everyone is fighting, and the opponents are all shrunk in the penalty area. No matter how you fight, there is no use for fighting."
Gao Dong said: "Whether we are fighting or not depends on who we compare with. Compared with Dynamo Kiev, we are not as good as them."
Zanetti said: "The coach is right, we should go all out, and don't wait until the end of the mountain to go all out."
Maicon also spoke on behalf of Brazil, "Yes! It's much easier to fight opponents in Meazza than in Kiev. Let's not pin our hopes on the end and the end."
Gao Dong said: "Don't pin your hopes on the opponent's loss. We can't win, and the opponent can't push us into the knockout round."
Materazzi said: "Isn't it just intensive defense? It's not like I haven't experienced it before, smashing them to death with a header! Shooting them to death with a long shot, we don't believe that they are impenetrable."
"Yes! Donglai and I took a long shot!" Stankovic said.
Lucio said: "I compete with Samuel for the header, you guys help me defend."
...
Everyone said something to each other, and the opinions were finally unified, and they decided to fight their opponents to the death in the second half.
