Chapter 637 Expanding the Score
<"readability-styled" style=":inline;">"The ball was scored?"
"The ball is in!"
"We're ahead!"
"God! God bless!"
…
The stands went crazy, and the Nella team cheered and clapped wildly. They couldn't believe their eyes. This goal was not a counterattack goal. It was Gao Xiaodong who forcibly penetrated Barcelona's defense from the center and took the ball. Passed to Milito, who hit the ball with a fatal blow.
The on-site commentator Reca burst out with passion. He stood up and roared at the stadium at the top of his lungs, "In, in, in... Milito Milito penetrated the Barcelona gate! Inter Milan is in the lead! High! Great high! He just Like the sharpest spear, it pierced through the three Barcelona defenses and gave Milito a wonderful pass when he was fouled and fell to the ground! Gao must take at least half of the credit for this goal! Let us give Gao Xiaodong and Milito cheers, they deserve the warmest applause..."
Mourinho did not expect the goal to come so quickly, nor did he expect Gao Xiaodong to be able to penetrate Barcelona's central defense by himself to assist Milito. He slammed his fist downwards in excitement, then opened his arms, Turn around and applaud towards the stands.
Mourinho's passion infected the fans, and there was an even more enthusiastic celebration climax in the stands.
In the VIP box, Inter Milan president Moratti jumped up excitedly and rushed to the window to applaud the court, shouting: "Well done! Milito! Well done! Gao Xiaodong!"
Barcelona President Laporta's expression also changed. His opponent had the home advantage and scoring goals was normal, but scoring so early and from the center made him a little uneasy. If Inter Milan could score from the center, , so can Maxwell's side still hold on?
Guardiola was dumbfounded. After three contests with Gao Xiaodong, he and his disciples knew Gao Xiaodong well enough. After the opening, he did not give Gao Xiaodong a good long-range shot opportunity and guarded Gao Xiaodong's shot. Gao Xiaodong went forward, but unexpectedly Gao Xiaodong suddenly transformed into a dribbler, passed three Barcelona players in a row, and passed a single-handed ball to Milito.
"Why did this kid's breakthrough skills suddenly become so good? What a freak!"
But Guardiola had no time to wonder. He quickly called Busques over and asked him to tell his teammates that they must not only guard against Gao Xiaodong's long shots and forward penetration, but also guard against his breakthroughs. He must not be scored by Inter Milan again. ball.
After the celebration, Barcelona kicked off from the center circle and the game started again.
After Inter Milan scored, the balance on the field was broken, but Barcelona did not rush to attack, but played more patiently.
As a team that has won the Champions League twice in five years, Barcelona has a lot of experience. They know very well that a 1:0 score is nothing. As long as they can equalize the score, it will be a happy result. Even if they can't equalize in the end, the 1:0 away score is not an unacceptable score. With their strength, they can definitely get it back at home.
Inter Milan was not conservative after scoring a goal. They also knew that 1:0 could not kill the game. If they wanted to reach the final, they had to strike while the iron was hot and score another one.
Inter Milan's skills are not as good as Barcelona's, so they make up for their technical disadvantages by running more aggressively and pressing harder.
Compared with Ibrahimovic, who is neither fast nor willing to run, Eto'o is just like a model worker. He is positioned as a full midfielder, but when defending, he almost always returns to his side of the penalty area, while attacking At that time, he rushed to the winger position again. In order to slap his old club and Guardiola in the face, Eto'o almost used every ounce of strength in his body.
Milito, who plays the center position, runs no less than Eto'o. He and Sneijder put pressure on Barcelona's backcourt players, preventing Barcelona from easily controlling the ball in the backcourt. Return to your own thirty-meter area.
Barcelona players' footwork is very delicate. It's not just Xavi who can pass the fatal ball. The backcourt players can also send long passes that are very threatening.
Inter Milan fought hard in the frontcourt. Although they were not able to steal the ball from Barcelona's feet, they did not give Barcelona a chance to create murder in the backcourt.
Although Barcelona controls the ball well and plays very patiently, Inter Milan is also patient. Their active running also makes Barcelona's large-scale mobilization and small-scale penetration unable to find flaws.
Barcelona controlled the ball, but rarely created shooting opportunities. Inter Milan played an active defensive counterattack. The players started to press outside the 30-meter defensive area, but there were very few opportunities to steal. The ball started near their own penalty area. It was difficult to break through Barcelona's defense on counterattack, and neither side could change the score again.
The game passed minute by minute, and thirty minutes passed in the blink of an eye. The score was still 0:1, with Inter Milan leading.
At this time, Barcelona's players were a little impatient. Originally, only right back Alves was attacking, but now left back Maxwell also increased his efforts to assist forward.
Maxwell has played for Inter Milan and is very familiar with Inter Milan's players. His frequent forward penetration has had a certain effect.
In the 30th minute of the game, Harvey distributed the ball in the middle. Maxwell did not go down, nor did he pass it to the left winger Pedro. Instead, he suddenly passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area to find Ibrahimovic.
Barcelona's attack was very sudden. Ibrahimovic and Maxwell had been teammates at Inter Milan and they had a feeling for each other. He started almost at the same time, threw away Lucio, and jumped up to header 12 meters in front of the goal.
This is a high-quality attack. At such a close distance, if Ibrahimovic hits it, it is almost certain to score.
In an instant, the hearts of all Inter Milan people were in suspense.
However, with such a good opportunity, Ibrahimovic's header actually hit Cesar's arms, and Cesar hugged him tightly with both hands.
Guardiola raised his hands. When he saw Ibrahimovic tipping the ball into Cesar's arms, he was so angry that he held his head in his hands and sighed repeatedly.
Ibrahimovic also seemed to have difficulty understanding the header he just made, and he lowered his head helplessly.
The on-site commentator Reca covered his mouth and snickered, saying: "Ibrahimovic's Champions League knockout round is a curse. He has been in Inter Milan for several years and has not scored a single goal in the Champions League knockout round. He finally broke the curse in Barcelona and faced Inter Milan again. It’s a curse!”
Maxwell's assist improved Barcelona's offensive power, but the flaws in the defense were also exposed.
In the 35th minute of the game, Motta passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong from the backcourt. Gao Xiaodong directly made a long pass to Eto'o and hit Maxwell behind.
Eto'o moved forward at high speed, and Maxwell fought back to defend.
When Eto'o reached the side of the penalty area, he suddenly stopped, spiked the ball and cut inside, passing Maxwell and entering the penalty area.
Puyol knew how powerful Eto'o was and he stepped in in time.
Eto'o did not pass the ball. Facing Puyol's defense, he flicked the ball with his left foot and hit the goal with his right foot.
Puyol was not shaken by Eto'o, and he stretched out his foot to block Eto'o's shot.
The ball bounced to Milito's feet. Milito was in front of Pique. He had no time to adjust and shot directly, but the ball missed the goal post.
Maxwell created a threatening attack, but was also out of position and was hit by Eto'o. However, Barcelona now needs goals more than defense, so Guardiola did not restrict Maxwell's insertion.
In the 37th minute of the game, Barcelona passed the ball continuously. After opening up the defense, the ball was handed to Messi again. Messi got the opportunity to challenge the national team's big brother Zanetti.
Messi quickly approached Zanetti and made a feint. It looked like he was about to cut inside, but suddenly he made a move.
The 37-year-old Zanetti did not hesitate. He took a sideways step to block Messi's path.
Messi changed direction again and dribbled the ball through Zanetti's other side.
Zanetti showed excellent experience and physical fitness at this time. He quickly turned around, put a tackle from the side and behind, and hooked the ball out of Messi's feet.
At this time, Sneijder had already returned to defense. Zanetti was lying on the ground and poked the ball to Sneijder. Sneijder found Eto'o with a long pass.
This large-scale transfer is very beautiful. After Eto'o got the ball, he formed a one-on-one situation with Maxwell on the right. But just now Barcelona attacked on the right, and the left back Maxwell was a little too far inside. He went over to make up for it. Defending right winger Eto'o was passive.
Eto'o took advantage of Maxwell's unsteady footing and smashed the ball past Maxwell.
Central defender Puyol had no choice but to leave his defensive position and move to Maxwell's side to defend Eto'o or cut off Eto'o's passing route.
At this time, the active Maicon had already stepped in, and Cambiasso in the middle also arrived. Maicon shouted for Eto'o to pass the ball.
Eto'o didn't take credit for the shot this time, he passed the ball to Maicon.
When the ball reaches Maicon, there are more passing routes. It can be passed to Eto'o, Milito, or Gao Xiaodong...
Maicon suddenly discovered that Gao Xiaodong in the attacking midfielder position was missing, and there was only Cambiasso in the middle. Looking again, Gao Xiaodong actually ran to the left winger Sneijder's position, where Alves did not come back, and neither did Sneijder. Arrived, no one was there.
Maicon was overjoyed, and he immediately passed the ball over the top to Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong did not stop the ball. He took half a step back, adjusted his steps, and volleyed directly towards the lower right corner of the goal.
Valdes moved quickly when Maicon made a long pass and flew towards the lower right corner, but Gao Xiaodong did not adjust and shot too fast. Valdes tried his best but did not touch the ball, and the ball flew directly into the bottom of the net.
2:0
Gao Xiaodong's volley expanded the score for Inter Milan. He also scored his 10th goal in the Champions League this season, tying Barcelona's core Messi in goals.
