Mourinho was quite satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, leading away and scoring an away goal. Real Madrid was not at a disadvantage in terms of the situation, but he still criticized the team's performance after the goal. He believed that the team should not be so eager to attack after the goal, but instead gave Inter Milan an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity. They were in a hurry to get their attacks and almost lost the ball.

Mourinho has always been a person with clear rewards and punishments. This criticism will not affect the mood of the players. The lead in the first half made everyone happy. No matter how they played in the second half, they have a clear mind. Even if they lose the game, they will take away a away goal, and maybe there will be more away goals.

Since they have already taken the lead, the second half is better for Real Madrid. Inter Milan plays at home, and they will definitely not accept the result of losing the game at home, so in the second half, they will try their best to attack. That is exactly what Real Madrid likes.

Facing Inter Milan, which has full attack, Real Madrid can play the defensive counterattack that they are best at. At that time, I am afraid that they will score more goals. Maybe this game will be a big victory for Real Madrid in the end?

At the same time, in the locker room of Inter Milan, the atmosphere was a little solemn. They had already conceded a goal at their home court and were in a state of lagging behind. It was actually very clear how to play in the second half. But everyone knows what Mourinho's team is good at, especially this group of Inter Milan players, so it is even clearer.

Because last season, this is how they defeated their opponents and finally won the European Champions League.

Now it's their turn to taste the opponent's taste. It's really a turn of feng shui... There must be an attack in the second half, but how can we prevent Real Madrid's counterattack?

If the defenders do not intervene in assists, the offense will lack level and change, and it will be easy to be defensive by Real Madrid. If the defenders come up, the defense will be very dangerous. The goal conceded in the first half because there were only two full-backs behind him. When facing Real Madrid's dominant forces, they were powerless.

How can we not only defend against Real Madrid's counterattack and equalize the score?

Inter Milan is in a dilemma.

In fact, Inter Milan players have this feeling that at this time of this game, they always do multiple-choice questions. From the beginning of defending Chu Zhongtian's long shot or defending his straight pass, multiple-choice questions kept appearing in front of Inter Milan players, forcing them to make a choice. Nagato Yu made the wrong choice between defending Chu Zhongtian and defending Kaka, which led to the concealment of the ball.

But this kind of multiple-choice question means that you don’t know the correct answer is wrong. If this is the case, it would be great. The next time you choose the correct answer is. Chu Zhongtian often knows what the correct answer is, but forces the situation to be unable to choose and can only make the wrong choice. There is nothing more annoying than this.

Yuu Nagato admitted his mistake to his teammates in the locker room and took all the responsibility for losing the ball. In fact, he had no responsibility, so his teammates did not blame him, but the Japanese characteristics made him stand in the locker room and keep bowing and apologizing.

Everyone else was comforting him and telling him that it was not his own responsibility, and it was no big deal.

Hummels sat in his position without saying a word. He and Chu Zhongtian played against each other several times in the Bundesliga, so he knew Chu Zhongtian's ability. Dortmund won the league championship last season. To be honest, he felt that it was because Chu Zhongtian and Hoffenheim did not focus on the domestic league. They had already won a domestic league. It was obvious that the UEFA Champions League is more attractive than the domestic league recently. If both Hoffenheim and Chu Zhongtian turn their attention to the domestic arena, whether Dortmund can still win the league championship will have to be a question mark... Anyway, he feels that he is unsolvable to deal with Chu Zhongtian.

Hummels is a versatile defender. He can not only play center back, but also fullback and midfielder. He has also faced Chu Zhongtian head-on. The final result is Chu Zhongtian's complete victory. The corner kick that caused Inter Milan to lose the ball was Chu Zhongtian's ability to compete for the top high ball. In fact, Hummels saw Chu Zhongtian jumping at the back point, and felt that the situation was not good. However, he was a little lucky at the time. After all, it was not possible to grab the spot every time he competed for the top. In addition, Lanokia is 1.95 meters tall, three centimeters taller than himself, and twelve centimeters taller than Chu Zhongtian. Maybe there is no problem this time... Everyone saw it.

He felt that instead of worrying about how to deal with Chu Zhongtian here, it would be better to think about how to score the goal as soon as possible...Leonardo's thinking was the same as that of him.

He clapped his hands, and the locker room became quiet. Everyone looked at the head coach, wanting to hear what he had.

"Our primary goal is not to stop conceding the ball, but to strive to score as quickly as possible and equalize the score! So the focus of our discussion now is not Chu, but how to score the goal, it is Sneijder." He looked at the Dutch midfielder.

The unfavorable midfield operation led by Sneed in the first half was the main reason for the team to be in trouble.

If Sneijder performs poorly, Inter Milan's offense will have no inspiration and source.

Sneider himself knew that his performance in the first half was a little dim and he was restricted by Chu Zhongtian.

He has seen the countermeasures for the second half from Chu Zhongtian, which is to strengthen long-range shots like Chu Zhongtian, which also put Real Madrid in a dilemma. Once his long-range shots can pose a threat to Real Madrid, it will quickly increase changes, and at that time, whether it is his own shot or passing the ball to his teammates, he will have an opportunity.

He felt that since Chu Zhongtian could use this trick to deal with us, why can't we deal with them in the opposite way?

※※※After the second half restarted, Sneider indeed strengthened his long shot.

After only three minutes of the start, he made a long shot about 27 meters away from the goal.

This was a good long shot, but the angle was slightly straight. Casillas leaned a little and threw the ball down.

Soon after Inter Milan got an offensive opportunity, Sneider made another long shot. This time Casillas did not save, but ran out of the goal.

Chu Zhongtian looked at Sneider's annoyed look with his hands in his arms, thinking about something.

Just now, Etoo and Pazini raised their hands in front to ask for the ball. In addition, Biabiani also had a good opportunity on the side, but Sneid did not pass the ball, but stubbornly took a long shot.

Based on his understanding of Sneider, he felt that Sneider was not the kind of player who ignored the overall situation and wanted to be a hero. Then he must have a deeper meaning in doing so.

As for what the meaning is... Chu Zhongtian quickly guessed that Sneider wanted to use long shots like himself to cause trouble for Real Madrid's defense.

However, Sneider did not seem to have expected that there was a big difference between them, and this difference might be decisive - when he shot from a long distance in front of Inter Milan's penalty area, Cambiaso was not enough to be seen by himself, and he had to come with one more person. In this way, when he retreated, Inter Milan's defense was withdrawn by himself.

And now? Sneider belongs to him. He only needs to be alone, which is enough to keep an eye on Sneider. Others don’t need to move at all, so they should do whatever they should do.

In this way, Sneijder's attempt to cause trouble for Real Madrid's defense line failed, because Chu Zhongtian could defend him alone, and others didn't have to face his long shots at all.

So when Sneider tried his third long shot to threaten Casillas' goal, Chu Zhongtian stood in front of him and blocked Sneider's long shot with his body.

"Chu Zhongtian blocked Sneider's long shot! This is Sneider's third long shot since the beginning of the second half!"

Sneider was a little upset when he watched the football not fly to the goal, but to the sideline.

When the fourth time, he didn't even have the chance to kick, because Chu Zhongtian was tightly pressed against him and kept putting pressure on him, making him feel that if he dared to kick the ball, the football would definitely be snatched... This pressure made Sneider dare not kick the ball easily. The distance between the two was too close, and Chu Zhongtian's kick speed was definitely fast enough.

Now Leonardo has discovered a problem - during the halftime break, he thought that he didn't need to consider how to curb Chu Zhongtian, but should first find a way to score goals as soon as possible. In terms of the general direction, he did not consider the details, that is, how should Sneider avoid Chu Zhongtian, a difficult guy?

Sneider needs help, and a person cannot break through Chu Zhongtian's defense.

After observing, Leonardo came to this conclusion, so he took advantage of the opportunity to kill the ball and called Cambiaso to his side.

"Go to protect Sneider!"

In just such a simple sentence, Cambiaso knew what to do.

His job is very simple. After Sneider was cut off by Chu Zhongtian, he rushed up and entangled Chu Zhongtian, forcing Chu Zhongtian to attack immediately, and at the same time, he intercepted again with Sneider. At that time, the chance of snatching one person will be very high.

In addition, Sneider can also play and cooperate with him to interfere with Chu Zhongtian's defense.

You should know that Cambiaso is not a simple midfield engineer, he can only intercept and defend. Of course, his defense level is indeed very high, but in fact he is an all-round midfielder with balanced offense and defense and playing very gracefully. Former head coach of the Argentina national team, Peckerman, once praised Cambiaso as "the second Redondo".

So he has the ability to organize offensive skills. Once Sneijder encounters trouble, Cambiaso can stand up and help the team get out of the predicament.

The UEFA Champions League magazine's evaluation of Cambiaso is: "Tired Messenger". The last person known as the "Conspirator" was Romanian legend, "Maradona of the Balkans" Haji, who is not a defensive person.

Cambiaso's technical characteristics are tireless running, with a large coverage on the field, completely carpet-like coverage, almost everywhere in the range between the two penalty areas. This sounds like Chu Zhongtian is a bit similar. Both of them have excellent physical fitness, both players from one penalty area to another. However, Chu Zhongtian's skills are more comprehensive than Cambiaso... Defense is Cambiaso's main responsibility, and his interception and steals build a barrier in front of Inter Milan's defense line. In offense, he is often the source of the initiation, and his passing and dispatch determine the direction of the attack.

So don't underestimate such a guy who is not amazing.

Leonardo's adjustment is actually very powerful.

Inter Milan quickly repaid the color with this adjustment.

After Sneider got the ball, Chu Zhongtian stepped forward to press. Sneider did not get involved with Chu Zhongtian, nor did he forcefully take a long shot, but passed the football to Cambiaso.

Then Cambiaso suddenly stepped forward without anyone being guarded, threw away Chu Zhongtian and entered the hinterland of Real Madrid.

His wonderful pass almost gave Etoo a single chance. Unfortunately, Carvalho judged Cambiaso's intention to pass in advance and intercepted the football on the pass route. Etooo had already run to the position, but unfortunately the football did not reach it.

This offense made Inter Milan fans in the stands very excited. Now every attack of Inter Milan can cause them to cheer in half. Although Real Madrid won't attract boos every time they get the ball, the difference between home and away teams is still very obvious. Those who fantasize that Real Madrid can get very good treatment here have completely dispelled this idea.

After all, this is a Champions League quarterfinal that concerns who can advance to the semi-finals. Inter Milan fans who love Mourinho will not want their team to be a stepping stone for Mourinho...※※※Chu Zhongtian is a little embarrassed when he comes to deal with Chu Zhongtian alone.

Chu Zhongtian originally wanted to attack again to score a goal, but when he saw Sneider and Cambiaso coming to deal with him, he couldn't handle it anymore, so he immediately decisively retreated to the position of the midfielder, focusing on defense. Only Kaka, Higuain, and C. Ronaldo were left in the frontcourt, allowing these three fast and skilled players to attack Inter Milan's defense line, and he defended from the back, and at the same time used long passes to organize counterattacks.

Real Madrid is equivalent to launching a defensive counterattack.

After all, even if they win 1:0 away, it is a very satisfactory result. Modern away games and home games are a very favorable schedule.

The first leg won 1:0 away, and you can definitely advance if you return to home games with a goal difference of more than two goals.

Mourinho saw Chu Zhongtian let the team shrink its defense off the court, and there was no objection. He agreed with Chu Zhongtian's idea in his heart. In fact, even if Chu Zhongtian did not do this, he planned to notify the players on the court to switch to a defensive counterattack.

It is very important to judge the situation.

A midfield commander must have a clear mind and know when to attack and when to defend.

After a season of training, Real Madrid is now much more stable than last season's defense, and Real Madrid players have gradually understood Mourinho's tactical ideas and ideas in defense.

If this continues, Real Madrid is likely to take away a victory after the end of this game.

But fate did not let Real Madrid do what they wanted.

In the 78th minute, Inter Milan's continuous attack finally received a reward.

Sneider divided the football on the wing, and Biabiani dribbled the ball and forced himself into the penalty area and was knocked down by central defender Pepe to the ground. The referee decisively blew the whistle and awarded the penalty kick, and sent Pepe directly off the red card!

This penalty became the focus of debate between the two sides.

There is actually nothing to argue about about penalty kicks, the red card is debated. Previously, Pepe didn't have a yellow card on him. Real Madrid players thought it would be fine to give one yellow card at most. After all, it was already a penalty for awarding a penalty kick, and giving a red card is too much. Inter Milan players think that this red card is given very well and they should defend the authority of the referee.

Pepe also seemed very unfair. He felt that his move was a foul, but it was not worth a red card... Mourinho could only shake his head helplessly when he saw this scene off the court. Of course, if Barcelona faced with such a problem, even if he was sent off directly, he would make a big fuss on the sidelines.

In the end, regardless of Real Madrid's players' complaints, Pepe was sent off with a red card.

The Spanish commentator said this: "This can only blame Pepe for his bad reputation. He has a bad temper. When his brain is in a paragraph, it seems like he is playing boxing and wrestling on the court. So the referee's first reaction when he sees him foul is to give him a red card and let him come out to calm down... But I want to say that Pepe was really wronged this time. His mind is very calm. If he doesn't foul, I'm afraid that Biabiani will break through very easily. That's a one-on-one attack. In desperation, Pepe can only foul..."

Anyway, Real Madrid can only swallow this penalty and red card.

Etoo used this penalty to help Inter Milan tie the score.

The Meacha Stadium was filled with joy, as if he had won the game.

Next, Mourinho made a decisive substitution, replaced Kaka with Khedira, strengthened the midfield defense, and at the same time replaced Higuain with Aveloa, put C. Ronaldo at the front and counterattacked. Ramos changed from right back to center back position, and Aveloa appeared at right back position.

Mourinho's substitution adjustments were very fast, and Inter Milan had no choice but to take advantage of Real Madrid's opportunity to launch a large-scale attack.

In the end, the two sides shook hands with a score of 1:1. Although they equalized the score in the end, Real Madrid was quite satisfied with the result. The only flaw was that Pepe was sent off and would not be able to play in the next game. He would also miss the first leg of the semi-finals - if Real Madrid can successfully reach the semi-finals...
Chapter completed!
