On April 27th, in the 35th round of the 20072008 Serie A season, in the match between Inter Milan and Cagliari, Li Ang made a large rotation for the team.
Burdisso, Maxwell, Bonucci, and Materazzi formed Inter Milan's brand new rear defensive line.
In the midfield, Decaux led a group of rotating players.
The front line was the partnership of Cassano and Balotelli. In the second half of the game, Agüero, who had recovered from his injury, was also given the opportunity to play as a substitute. There were only a few games left before the end of the season, and Li Ang needed the Argentine striker to find the rhythm of scoring as soon as possible.
In the end, in this game, Inter Milan defeated Cagliari by a score of 2: 1 at home.
Bonucci scored a goal with a header, and Deco also scored a goal.
After playing this game, the entire Inter Milan team put all their energy into the upcoming second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.
Before this game, the UEFA finally came to a conclusion regarding the controversial penalty in the first leg of the semi-final between Inter Milan and Barcelona.
*****
First of all, the UEFA said that Carlos's red card could not be canceled. However, the UEFA's judging body was lenient and said that there would be no additional punishment for this red card.
What did this mean?!
According to the international football judging standards, a direct red card would not only be suspended for the next game, but there would also be additional punishment. Generally, there would be an additional suspension of one or two games.
Now, the UEFA's decision meant that Carlos would be suspended for the second leg of the semi-final against Barcelona, but there would be no additional punishment. This also meant that if Inter Milan could eliminate Barcelona and advance to the final, then Carlos would be eligible to play in the final.
Because Carlos was injured, it was impossible for him to play in the second leg of the semi-final against Barcelona. Therefore, the automatic suspension of the red card basically had no impact.
In addition, the UEFA did not accept Inter Milan's complaint against the German referee, Stark, for his "major enforcement error." They insisted that Stark did not make any major mistakes in his enforcement. However, the media noticed that the German referee was originally on the list of referees for this summer's UEFA European Championship knockout stage. However, he was now removed and was only listed as a reserve referee.

"The UEFA is stubborn." Li Ang pursed his lips and said to Banderas. "They want to save face."
Banderas also nodded. Although the UEFA insisted that there was no problem with the enforcement of the game, they had to appease the angry Inter Milan and cancel the additional punishment of the direct red card on Carlos.
In fact, this was the bottom line that Inter Milan pursued. The UEFA was also very clear about this. Both sides took a step back. Inter Milan received the most direct compensation and would not continue to cause trouble. The UEFA also turned this page.
"However, we have to pay more attention to the second leg of the game against Barcelona." Banderas said, "Stark originally had the hope of refereeing the UEFA European Championship semi-finals. Now that he has lost this opportunity, I'm sure he will hate us."
"That's what he asked for!" Li Ang said coldly. However, Banderas's reminder also made him vigilant. Not to mention that he did not know if Barcelona would continue to be taken care of by the referees, Stark, as the referee that the UEFA focused on, would always have some good friends in the refereeing circle. If the referee of the second leg between Inter Milan and Barcelona had a good relationship with Stark, who could guarantee that Inter Milan would not receive special treatment at home?!

"Barcelona's entire team has arrived in Milan. At Malpensa Airport, Barcelona's manager, Rijkaard, expressed his confidence in making a comeback in the away game. The team's midfield general, Harvey, also said that Barcelona had a chance to get a score that would allow them to advance in the Meazza Stadium."
"Barcelona's Argentine star player, Messi, was questioned by some fans at the airport. They were obviously extremely dissatisfied with Messi's silence on Carlos's injury. Some fans held up banners with humiliating meanings such as' hypocritical Argentine kid '…"
The news on TV was broadcasting the news that Barcelona's entire team had arrived in Milan.
This was the day before the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Barcelona. Inter Milan's entire team had just finished their morning training and was having lunch at this time.
"I hate this Argentine shorty," Cassano shouted.
"That's right. Argentinians have bad hearts," Balotelli agreed.
These words offended people. There were several Argentine star players in the Inter Milan Team. Fortunately, everyone knew that Barcelona's brain circuit was not normal. So, although they were a little angry, they did not lower themselves to the kid's level.
Captain Zanetti smiled bitterly and shook his head. Balotelli's talent was unquestionable, but as for his brain …

At this time, Modric came to the restaurant to eat with a happy face.
"Luca, how are you feeling?"
"Luca, is the coach really that good?"
"Luca, can you really play?"
It was no wonder that everyone was so curious and concerned. Modric's injury was more serious. According to the original recovery speed, it was unknown whether Modric could play in the final, let alone make it in time for the second leg of the semi-final against Barcelona.
However, the manager, Li Ang, performed a "mysterious treatment" on Modric. It was said that he used mysterious Eastern witchcraft.
Some of the new players expressed their disbelief, but the old players were convinced. Back then, the coach cured Ronaldo's old injury. It could be said that Ronaldo was restored to his peak health. This was something they had seen with their own eyes.
After several treatments by Li Ang, Modric had been training with the team and could participate in the less intense intra-team confrontations. According to Modric's previous disclosure, after the last treatment today, he would be completely healed and could even play.
"I feel great." Modric was excited. "I can't wait to play now."
With Modric's confirmation, everyone was naturally happy. With Carlos injured, Modric's recovery was a timely rain for the team. In this case, Montari could focus more on defense, and Modric would organize the team's offense and defense. Inter Milan's midfield would finally be able to minimize their losses.
After that, as the crowd chatted, they also expressed their amazement at the head coach's magical Eastern witchcraft. They felt that it was too incredible and mysterious.
