"Javier Zanetti! Zanetti! Zanetti! Zanetti! GOAL! GOOAL! GOOOOAL!! "The commentator shouted." Inter Milan Team captain has scored!! Ah! What an inconceivable goal! Javier Zanetti began to dribble the ball from the midfield and went straight for the goal! Under the joint defense of Yayaturay and Marcos, he still managed to break into the penalty area, face the goalkeeper, and shoot the ball! It's incredible! This Argentinian veteran rarely scores, let alone such a wonderful goal! "
"This is Zanetti's moment! Inter Milan's captain stepped up bravely when the team needed someone to step up the most! "
"Zanetti is completely exhausted. His goal in such a situation! This is a huge inspiration for the entire Inter Milan team! "
Seeing Zanetti shoot the ball into the goal behind Valdés, Marcos hammered the ground fiercely, while Yayaturay roared angrily. The two of them had too many opportunities to commit tactical fouls in advance …
The exhausted Zanetti was surrounded by his teammates. They threw themselves on him, shouting and cheering.
"Hey, be careful! The captain has no strength! "Samuels hurriedly shouted. Only then did everyone pull Zanetti up in a flurry.
After that, the Inter Milan Team captain hugged his teammates and ran straight to the technical area on the sidelines.
When Zanetti broke through Yayaturay and Marcos' defense and entered the penalty area, Li Ang had already stood up from his seat. He clenched his fists. He was looking forward to scoring, but he was worried that he would be disappointed because Zanetti was not a player who was good at scoring goals.
Then, he saw Zanetti use the last of his strength to shoot the ball. Li Ang was excited. He raised his arms and rushed out of the technical area. He waved his fists hard and shouted loudly as if he wanted to vent all his depression.
Then, Li Ang saw Zanetti running towards him. He opened his arms and laughed, waiting for a warm hug with his team captain.
*****
To be honest, Li Ang did not expect that the 34-year-old veteran, Zanetti, would step up during the team's most difficult time!
The Inter Milan manager and the Inter Milan Team captain embraced each other.
"Well done! Harvey! I want to thank you! "Li Ang shouted in Zanetti's ear.
"Coach! We want to thank you! "Zanetti murmured.
In the Inter Milan Team, Zanetti was the only one who knew that Li Ang would leave at the end of the season. Li Ang could not leave without a word, and Zanetti, as the team captain, was qualified to know the news in advance.
However, Li Ang and Zanetti had an agreement that the news would be kept secret until the last game. Both of them knew that the news would have a huge impact on the team after it was made public.
Although Zanetti was shocked and even a little flustered when he learned of Li Ang's decision, everyone, including the veteran, was used to the Chinese man in the technical area. As long as this person was there, the whole team seemed to be emboldened.
Zanetti was shocked when Li Ang suddenly chose to retire.
However, he did not strongly oppose it. In the football world, it was normal to come and go. There was no banquet that lasted forever. Besides, Zanetti also expressed his understanding when he learned that Li Ang was going to take maternity leave.
As the captain of Inter Milan, Zanetti at this moment dedicated such a goal to the team manager and thanked him for his contribution to Inter Milan.
*****
"After the goal, Zanetti ran over to Li Ang and hugged him. What a heartwarming scene! In Inter Milan's most difficult moment, the old captain stepped forward, scored a goal, and dedicated the goal to the team's young meritorious manager … "The commentator sighed after seeing the scene.
The hustle and bustle above Camp Nou stopped at this moment and fell into a dead silence.
The Barcelona fans, who had been excitedly cheering for Barcelona just now, were completely stunned by the goal concede. They even forgot to boo.
However, a few seconds later, loud and harsh boos rang out.
The expressions of the Barcelona players were also a little unnatural. After they won a goal from the penalty kick, their morale was greatly boosted and their attacks were higher than the previous wave. They even felt that they could not only score again to equalize the score, but also have a chance to reverse the situation and win the game. However, the opponent's incredible strike from the 34-year-old veteran cast a shadow over the hearts of the Barcelona players.
Li Ang then made a decisive substitution. The young Mario Balotelli came on as a substitute and replaced Arshavin, who had reached his physical limit.
At the same time, Adriano was brought off and Maxwell came on as a substitute.
Inter Milan's lineup on the field was also adjusted accordingly.
"Li Ang made a decisive substitution. Now, Maxwell appears in the position of the right back, Mai Kong's position moves forward and appears in the position of the right midfielder, Mata appears in the middle, and Balotelli rushes forward alone. Inter Milan's current formation is more like a 4-4-1!"
"Yes, this is to maximize the ability to maintain midfield interception," Rossi said. "However, Mai Kong's position change in advance, coupled with Balotelli's fresh appearance, ensures that Inter Milan still has the ability to counterattack!"
"Li Ang's performance is very shrewd and ruthless. He deserves to be called the world's top manager."

Just like how Carlos's injury and dismissal and Eto 'o's goal from the penalty kick boosted Barcelona's morale, Zanetti's incredible goal also boosted Inter Milan's morale.
In the following game, Inter Milan's entire team showed admirable tenacity under the leadership of their captain, who had won the trust and respect of the entire team. Not only did they resist Barcelona's crazy counterattack, but their counterattack on the offensive side was also impressive. Barcelona's rear defensive line was in a difficult position for a time. When they went into the attack, they were a little timid, which also allowed Inter Milan's goal to be more stable.
Even at the eighty-sixth minute of the game, Barcelona's skillful cooperation, which culminated in Messi's dodging in the penalty area, and Iniesta's beautiful poke to break the goal, did not cause Inter Milan's collapse. They showed amazing tenacity!
Even in the first minute of injury stoppage time, Inter Milan used a counterattack opportunity to give Barcelona another fatal blow.
After Mai Kong went down the ball, he suddenly cut inside and looked like he was going to shoot. After causing Barcelona's defensive center of gravity to tilt to the left, he suddenly passed the ball horizontally. Mata in the middle did not stop the ball. Instead, he hooked the ball with the outside of his foot. Balotelli successfully reversed the offside position. After receiving Mata's pass in the penalty area, he used the advantage of his long legs to knock the ball first. After getting rid of Marcos's defense, he directly raised his leg to shoot.
When the ball rolled between the legs of another Barcelona defender, Gabriel Milito, there was a change in direction. This caught Valdés, who had already rushed to the right side of the goal, off guard. He could only watch the ball, which was not very fast, slowly roll into the net!
