After the game, Milan Gazzetta dello Sport strongly questioned the referee's enforcement of the law, believing that Inter Milan had suffered unfair treatment.
The Inter Milan football club announced a team silence after the game, refusing to express any views on the referee's decision.
The atmosphere in the entire Pininati training base was depressing. Li Ang wore sunglasses and a straight face.
He was suffocating.
Moratti had personally spoken, telling him not to fire anymore and not to add fuel to the fire.
This made Li Ang extremely angry and he wanted to curse.
Inter Milan's opponent in the next round of the league tournament was Livorno.
Before the game, Li Ang only said one sentence when he was mobilizing the team before the game.
"Score as many goals as you can in the first half of the game. Tell everyone that no one can steal our victory!"
Inter Milan's entire team was also angry. After the big victory over Juventus, the team's morale was high. It was the time to recover the lost ground in the league tournament, but because of the referee, they suffered their first defeat of the season. It would be strange if they were not angry.
And at this time, Livorno, a soft persimmon, came to their door. It could only be said that this opponent's fate was not good.
*****
For this match, Li Ang was still banned from the competition.
He was in the stands of the Meazza Stadium and witnessed the team's biggest victory of the season so far!
Inter Milan scored three goals in the first half of the game from Ronaldo, Samuels, and Modric.
In the second half of the game, the substitute Borriello was the icing on the cake.
Adriano's kick exploded.
An own goal made by the opponent in a hurry!
Inter Milan defeated Livorno by a score of 6: 0 at home.
After the game, the media was shocked by Inter Milan's craziness in this game.
Inter Milan's fans also sang and danced. They had not seen such a passionate Inter Milan in a long time.
Li Ang was also satisfied with the players' performance. In this game, the team executed his LION strategy very well. The team's highest possession rate was 75%. Livorno was suppressed throughout the game and almost did not get any chances to shoot.
Of course, it was also directly related to Livorno's strength being too weak.
However, no matter what, Inter Milan's players had vented their frustrations with this big victory. The haze over Pinenati had also dissipated.
At the press conference after the game, Li Ang finally could not hold it in. "I was very worried when I was in the stands. I was worried that the whistle would sound. The referee always takes Inter Milan's games very seriously. What makes me happy is that our goals were impeccable. We were not offside, and there was nothing suspicious. This makes me feel at ease …"
*****
After the game against Livorno, it was an away game against FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the middle of the week.
Before the start of the game, it was raining heavily in Porto.
As the players warmed up, assistant manager Banderas roared in the wind and rain, "Warm up more, don't get hurt!"
Li Ang frowned. Porto was Inter Milan's strongest opponent in the group stage. If they won this game, Inter Milan, with three consecutive wins, would have laid the foundation for advancing from the group stage early on.
But now, a sudden rainstorm disrupted all of this.
In a game under rainstorm conditions, there would be a lot of unexpected situations. The most noteworthy one was that under the wet skating ground, the chances of players getting injured would increase.
Therefore, in this game, Li Ang's goal was for Inter Milan not to lose and for no one to get injured.
What he worried about came true.
In the 39th minute of the game, the veteran Figo slipped and fell to the ground during a dribble, causing a muscle strain in his thigh.
As a result, Li Ang had to bring in the young player, David Silva, to replace the injured Figo.
He could not even give David Silva too much time to warm up. He could only pray that the young player did well during the warm-up before the game and did not repeat Figo's mistake.
*****
"Be careful, don't get hurt." Li Ang patted David Silva on the shoulder. "Don't be nervous, you're the one I think highly of."
Then Li Ang realized that he might not need to comfort Silva because there was no trace of nervousness or timidity on the kid's face.
The young and somewhat shy player nodded with excitement. This was the first Champions League game in his career. He was still on loan to Valencia to play in the Spanish Third Division last season.
Off the field, Li Ang smiled and shook his head as he watched David Silva run onto the field excitedly.
"David is very excited," Banderas said.
"I'm just afraid that he won't be too excited," Li Ang said.
Then, he realized that his worries were unnecessary. The young Spanish player's performance after he came on the field was beyond his expectations.
Towards the end of the first half, David Silva, who could not play for less than five minutes, took the ball on the flank. He beautifully dunked past the defender and then cut inside the penalty area. The slippery turf and the heavy rain did not seem to cause any hindrance to him. Facing the defender in the penalty area, he skillfully dunked and pulled with his left hand. After he found a gap to shoot, he looked like he was about to shoot a volley, but he directly used the tip of his foot to poke the football. The football rolled rapidly on the slippery turf. Porto's goalkeeper had no time to react and could only watch as the football rolled past his feet into the net.
“Goooooaaaaal！”
Li Ang raised his arm high on the sidelines. This goal was crucial for Inter Milan to pass. Entering the halftime interval with a one-goal lead had a positive impact on the trend of the game.
*****
Looking at David Silva, who was running excitedly on the field to celebrate and surrounded by his teammates, and looking at the little guy in the heavy rain, Li Ang could not help but think. Could it be that Silva, who accidentally got a chance to play in this game, would become famous just like that?
Even the commentator exclaimed, "David Silva! This is the first Champions League game for this young Spanish player. His performance has amazed everyone! His technique is too good. The heavy rain and the terrible field conditions do not seem to have any impact on him!! His footwork is too good, and his choice of shooting is also very good! Poke! In this kind of weather, shooting in the penalty area is the least favorite way for a goalkeeper to encounter!! When Li Ang bought this young player from Valencia, many people expressed doubts. What ability did a young player, who was only loaned by Valencia to play in a low-level league in Spain for a season, have to establish himself in Inter Milan? Some Inter Milan fans might not know the name of this player, but I'm afraid that after watching today's game, everyone will remember his name. If Inter Milan wins this game in this away game, his goal is too crucial. He will become famous in this game! " Sky TV's commentator, Ferrari, shouted, "Now, you need to remember this name, David Silva, because maybe after today's game, he will continue to appear in those highlights …"
