After Barcelona scored, Li Ang did not intend to stabilize the defense first. He immediately conveyed his tactical instructions: the two full backs continued to plug in and attack.
Li Ang chose the full back combination today. Evra was on the left, and Mai Kong was on the right. He did not choose the veteran Zanetti to start because he considered that Zanetti's stamina was not as good as Mai Kong's. In addition, the Brazilian's impact on the flank was stronger.
In this game, because of Carlos's absence, it had a major impact on Inter Milan's defense. Therefore, Li Ang did not consider defending to the death in this game at all. He wanted to compete with Barcelona in offense and goal scoring.
As long as Inter Milan did not lose by two goals at home, then Inter Milan would be the team to enter the finals.
Rijkaard also saw the change in Inter Milan. He also understood Li Ang's intention. The Inter Milan Team was going to attack!
This was exactly what Rijkaard wanted. What he was most afraid of was Inter Milan adopting a defensive posture. As long as Inter Milan attacked, then there was bound to be a gap in the back of Inter Milan. In particular, Carlos's absence might magnify this gap!
Therefore, when he saw Inter Milan attack, Rijkaard also decisively made adjustments. Barcelona also pressed out to attack! Only by attacking could they expand and seize the gaps that Inter Milan might appear!
Therefore, a very exciting offensive game in the history of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals began.
*****
In the 31st minute of the game, Barcelona played a beautiful offensive combination. Harvey passed a diagonal pass, and Iniesta gently knocked the football to Messi.
Messi still controlled the football under Montari's pressure.
Then, he half-turned and pretended to pass the football to Henry on the flank. Mai Kong, who came up to defend him, was tricked by him into shifting his weight. As a result, Messi used his left foot to kick the football behind him. Then, he turned again in the opposite direction, accelerated, and brushed past Mai Kong's side!
"Beautiful pass …" Catalonia's commentator cheered excitedly.
After passing Mai Kong, Messi seized the gap behind Mai Kong. After coordinating with Eto'o, who came over to support, he crossed the ball in front of the goal. Iniesta, who suddenly plugged in, got the chance to face the goalkeeper. The White, the Spanish national footballer, made a feint when he faced César one-on-one. César made a save move. Iniesta kick............
“Goooooaaaaal！”
"Iniesta! Iniesta! Iniesta! He's scored twice! We've scored! Two to one! Barcelona has overtaken the score! The great Iniesta, the great Messi! A great goal! "Catalonia's commentator was almost howling and shouting with a sobbing tone.
Barcelona's wonderful pass, pass, and coordination was finally scored by Iniesta. Barcelona overtook the score by 2: 1!
Barcelona's fans cheered in the away stands of Meazza. When Inter Milan Team scored at the start of the game, they did not think that Barcelona could overtake the score in the first half.
"Now, Barcelona has a total score of four to five in the two rounds. If Barcelona wants to advance, they only need to score two more goals! With Barcelona's current offensive state, this is not an impossible task! "
"Beautiful! Barcelona has now reappeared in a situation where no one is optimistic about them! "

Li Ang frowned slightly. Barcelona's goal made the situation on the field delicate. Inter Milan was still leading by a goal. If Barcelona could seize the opportunity to score another goal, then the overall score would be tied. Although Inter Milan still had the away goal advantage, if they were tied with such a huge lead at that time, it would be a big blow and impact on Inter Milan's morale and state.
However, Li Ang did not panic.
For this game, he had a careful deployment. He had a plan and psychological preparation for all situations.
Moreover, Li Ang had confidence in his players. This Inter Milan team was not the "soft European team" before he took over. This was a team with a big heart.
Li Ang just made a gesture to ask the players not to be affected by the goal concede. At the same time, Li Ang's gesture also had a hidden meaning: Feign an attack in the middle!
Seeing Li Ang's unhurried look, the Inter Milan players on the field calmed down for no reason.
Feign an attack in the middle, what was the purpose?
Naturally, it was to make a fatal blow on the flank!
Just five minutes later, Inter Milan's change and flank tactics showed their power.
Inter Milan suddenly attacked the middle, which made Barcelona feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. They had to heavily defend in the middle.
This time, Mata suddenly turned to the right flank. This was the first time he appeared together with Arshavin on the right flank. After that, Mata and Arshavin played a combination to organize the attack. He sent out a pass, and Mai Kong suddenly broke through at high speed. The Brazilian's instep went straight to the penalty area!
Then people saw Adriano squeeze past Barcelona's defender, Marcos. After stopping the ball with his chest, he shot directly at the goal!
This close-range shot was extremely fast and powerful. Even though Barcelona's goalkeeper, Valdés, touched the ball, he was still unable to stop the ball from going into the net!
The ball went in!
*****
“Goooooaaaaal！”
"Adriano! Adriano! Adriano! Inter Milan's wonderful offensive coordination! Mai Kong's assist, and his Brazilian national team teammate, Adriano's explosive shot scored! Two to two! "
"2: 2! The first half is not over yet, and both sides have already scored a total of four goals! What a wonderful first half! "
"Two to two! The total score is six to four! Inter Milan is still leading by two goals! "
"This is really a wonderful goal!"
"In the process of this goal, we can see Manager Li Ang's tactical thinking! This is the strength of a top famous manager! " Ferrari was full of praise for Inter Milan's offensive tactics. "Barcelona's defensive line has been completely penetrated! During the entire defensive process, Barcelona piled up three players in the middle — Yayaturay, Iniesta, and Zambrotta. It could be said that they did not give Inter Milan any opportunities in the middle. However, at this moment, Inter Milan suddenly exerted force on the right flank. They formed a four-man formation in the right flank area to attack the opponent, luring out the opponent's defensive midfielder, side defender, and midfielder. Even the center back, Gabriel Milito, was pulled to the right flank to mark Arshavin. As a result, Inter Milan's right back, Mai Kong, passed to the middle, and Adriano only needed to face the center back, Marcos. Faced with such an opportunity, Adriano naturally would not miss it. The goal was born from this. What an amazing tactic! "Ferrari was full of praise.
"Barcelona heavily defended the middle, but it was clear that Inter Milan did not attack the middle. They did not bother the middle at all. It was useless for Barcelona to have more players in the middle!" Rossi was also full of praise for Li Ang. "After Barcelona overtook the score, Li Ang was not anxious at all. He seemed very confident. This is the strength and confidence of the world's top manager!"
