Mancini's idea was to try his best to keep the ball from being confusing with Mallorca in the first half, and then send Figo Cruise and others to complete the fatal blow in the second half. He doesn't need a big victory, a small victory is enough.

Inter Milan had ended their winning streak in the league before. After being tied by Udinese 1-1, their winning streak in the league was frozen in 17 games - this is the longest winning streak in the four major European leagues. The previous record was Real Madrid's 15 consecutive winning streaks. Although the winning streak was terminated, their advantage in the league is still unshakable, which also gives them greater desire to achieve better results in the Champions League.

The league has basically been obtained now, and the Italian Cup is no longer enough for them. If they don’t perform better in the Champions League and move forward a little more, then what will they do in the next few months? Go and play in the league casually? What a joke...

For Inter Milan, they have enough reason to win this game, but now Mallorca is similar to them. Jose does not value the King's Cup and has many advantages in leading the league. Now their focus has completely shifted to the Champions League, and it is at his home court. Jose will not despise this game at all.

If Mancini's arrangement is positive and stable, Jose attaches more importance to offense. Silva has already confirmed this when he replaces Senna. With Silva on the court, Mallorca's frontcourt offense will be smoother, while Klose gives Mallorca a high point in the penalty area. What Jose needs is that Mallorca maintains strong offensive ability from the beginning to the end, and the substitutes he has at hand are enough to give him very excellent adjustment ability.

After the game started, the two sides started to entangle in the midfield. Mallorca was not afraid of entanglement in the midfield. Inter Milan also wanted to use midfield confrontation to wipe out the physical fitness of Mallorca players in order to gain an absolute advantage in the second half. This idea made both sides focus on the midfield fighting at the beginning, and exciting offensive shots are rare.

It was not until the seventh minute that the first shot was made in the whole game. Ibrahimovic received the ball at the front of the penalty area and forced a long shot from 24 meters away from the goal. The ball was easily saved by Van der Sar.

Mallorca immediately launched a counterattack. Barack's midfield pass was on the wing. Silva, who inserted it, took off the ball and crossed it into the penalty area as soon as possible. Klose headed the ball before Matrazi and Cordoba. The ball flew out of the baseline against the post, causing Inter Milan to sweat.

Next, Mallorca ushered in an offensive little **. Barack had two consecutive long shots outside the penalty area, one of which was saved by Cesar, and the other one was off the far post. Inter Milan attached great importance to the defense at the front of the penalty area, because Mallorca had two midfielders with strong long shot ability - Kaka and Barack.

In Inter Milan's cautious defense, Mallorca could not easily create better scoring opportunities. They control the ball more in the midfield and look for the flaws exposed by Inter Milan. This style of play makes the scene a little dull.

However, for Inter Milan, if they feel that they can spend the first half smoothly because Mallorca has few offensive opportunities during this period, then they are too wrong. The reason why Mallorca's offense is excellent is not because they will only launch a fierce attack without thinking. The sudden change in the rhythm during the attack and the violent blow that suddenly burst out after accumulating strength in peace are the most terrifying things about their attack.

When many teams defend Mallorca's offense, they often feel a little slack because of Mallorca's silent dispatch for a period of time, and then they will immediately be hit by Mallorca like a storm. Under such a blow, even if their defense is excellent, it is difficult to concentrate immediately. Mallorca scores continuously in this situation and completely establishes its own advantages!

Mancini put Bao in the second half, while Jose needed to establish an absolute advantage in the first half.

Inter Milan is not particularly stable now. At the beginning of the season, they led Chiwo four-zero at home, but Chiwo scored three goals in the next twenty minutes, which is a good evidence.

Although Inter Milan's strong team temperament and stable mentality have gradually been established after 17 consecutive victories, it is only in the Serie A and in the Champions League, they still lack something.

So when the game was stalemate to the 30th minute, Inter Milan players began to slack off. This was not because they wanted to slack off themselves, but because they were in this seemingly long stalemate, it was very tiring to keep their mental tension for a long time. They have been hearing Mancini say that the final battle was in the second half. Now that the first half has been a while, there are only fifteen minutes left before the second half. They unconsciously want to shrink and save their physical fitness and condition...

At this moment, Mallorca's long-established attack suddenly broke out like a mountain torrent!

In just five minutes, Mallorca completed three consecutive attacks. Once, after Ram's cross, Ronaldo made a cross from the side, missed the shot from the back, Barack made a ball to Kaka, Kaka's long shot was blocked by Cesar, and once, Alonso made a pass directly into the penalty area. After Klose received the ball, he turned around and shot and was intercepted by Cordoba with his body...

Mallorca's sudden attack made Inter Milan's defense suddenly tighten. Mancini began to shout loudly on the sidelines, but his shouts seemed to be unable to make the situation faced by Inter Milan better.

Alonso took the ball in the middle. When he looked up at the situation in the penalty area, he flexibly stepped under his feet. After dodging Stankovic's defense, he raised his foot and passed the ball to Maicon who was inserted into the right side.

Facing his Brazilian compatriot Maxville, Maxville made good use of his physical advantages - Maxville is also a full-back with strong offensive ability, but his body looks a little thin. Maxville took the ball near the baseline and accelerated to break through!

Maxville is not inferior to Macon in terms of speed, but in terms of physical confrontation, he is a bit inferior to Macon!

Maxville forced Maxville desperately, but could not shake the opponent's strong body. Maxville still advanced at high speed under the interference of the opponent, but instead interfered with Maxville's progress. After strode to catch up with the ball, Maxville immediately raised his right foot and passed the ball into the penalty area!

The ball flew directly to the back point, and Klose was guarding the back point. He jumped up against the ball, and Cordoba jumped up at the same time - even if he couldn't stop him from grabbing the first landing point, he would have to interfere with him so that he could not successfully attack the goal.

However, Klose did not choose to head the ball, but directly crossed the ball into the penalty area, near the penalty spot!

Torres's running pulled away Matrazi's defense, and Barack rushed over from outside the penalty area. Vieira wanted to stop him, but Vieira, who had just recovered from injury, lost to Barack in the competition of strength. The two of them marched into the penalty area. The first thing they couldn't withstand was Vieira, who was left behind by Barack with his strength.

Barack, who rushed into the penalty area, swung his right foot first and shot the ball strongly while running!

Although Cesar's reaction was very fast, he could no longer respond in time when facing the volleyball shot near the penalty spot. The ball rushed into the lower left corner of the goal like a poisonous snake!

The moment the ball entered the goal, a huge cheer burst out from the stands!

After scoring the goal, Barack waved his fist, then jumped up, and after landing, he let out a huge roar!

The biggest goal of joining Mallorca with Ronaldo is to win a Champions League title. Ronaldo has scored three goals in the Champions League in few opportunities. He has won a good start but has not won any results in the Champions League so far, which also makes Barack look a little depressed. Now this goal that makes Mallorca lead in the total score has vented all Barack's depression!

One to zero, Mallorca took the lead at home!

But this is just the beginning!

Just as Mancini was wondering whether to attack in the next ten minutes of the first half and strive to tie the game in the first half, Mallorca did not stop after scoring the goal, but instead launched a fierce full-game press again after re-activated!

Under Mallorca's pressing level, the technical content has dropped a lot compared to usual. It is easy to make mistakes in Inter Milan's midfielders - Cambiaso and Figo are not there, and the technical content of Inter Milan's midfielders has indeed dropped a lot. If it is Figo, Vieira, Cambiaso, and Zanetti or Stankovic, such a midfielder may not have much advantage in both technology and confrontation. Unfortunately, Figo is sitting off the court now, while Cambiaso missed the game due to injury...

Under the crazy pressing of Mallorca's midfield, Dakot's pass transferred to Stankovic was intercepted by Alonso in the middle, and then quickly passed to Kaka. Kaka took the ball and turned around, and accelerated to get rid of it when he came to defend him. Vieira's defense was very good, but compared with Kaka, his speed seemed much slower. What's more, it was Mallorca's quick counterattack after intercepting the ball in the midfield, which made Vieira even more unlikely to catch up with him immediately...

Kaka's sharp dribbling forward made Inter Milan's defense line chaotic. When Cordoba rushed towards Kaka, Kaka had already raised his foot and sent a straight pass.

Matrazi failed to take a risk in the middle of the adventure, the ball flew past his feet, and then flew directly to Ronaldo who was accelerating and rushing into the penalty area!

Ronaldo's single shot!

Cesar made a quick attack. Although he knew that Ronaldo's success rate was also very high, he could only choose to attack at this time. He could only watch Ronaldo score the goal when he was guarding in front of the goal!

Cesar's timing for attack was also very timely. When he attacked, Ronaldo had just caught up with the ball. If he wanted to shoot, he had to adjust his footwork well. With Cesar's agility, he was likely to block all Ronaldo's shooting angles when Ronaldo adjusted his shooting condition...

However, Ronaldo did not shoot. Instead, after catching up with the ball, he raised his right foot when Cesar was halfway through the attack and passed the ball horizontally!

Klose, who followed up from the middle, easily pushed Ronaldo's pass, and the ball immediately flew into Inter Milan's goal again!

With two goals in five minutes, Mallorca established the victory in the first half!
Chapter completed!
