During the halftime interval, Li Ang praised the whole team.
Although Inter Milan only scored two goals in the first half of the game, which was not a big score, the whole team's performance was very good. The rhythm of the whole game was controlled by Inter Milan.
Porto was, after all, a powerhouse in the Portuguese Super League. Although their strength was a notch lower compared to the 2004 UEFA Champions League champion team, their opponent was a strong team that had their backs against the wall. Inter Milan did not give Porto any chances under such circumstances. They did a good job!
Not long after the second half of the game started, Modric was injured in a fight.
Although the team doctor did not think there was anything serious after the examination, Modric could continue to play.
However, Li Ang still replaced the young Croatian player to be on the safe side.
He replaced Marchisio.
This was Marchisio's first opportunity to play in the UEFA Champions League this season.
Li Ang's task for Marchisio was very direct, to help the team tidy up the midfield.
Throughout the first half of the game, when Marchisio sat and could not play, Li Ang told Marchisio to watch Modric play and to think more about what he should do on the field.
Of course, he did not know that Modric would be injured in the second half of the game, but Li Ang originally intended to give Marchisio a chance in this game. It was just that Modric's injury gave Marchisio a chance to play in advance.
*****
Seeing Modric, who had an excellent performance in the first half of the game, injured and replaced, Adrianse seemed to be injected with chicken blood. His face was flushed. He thought it was a good sign, a turning point of the game.
His Porto's opportunity had come.
In the 69th minute of the game, Inter Milan played a smooth passing combination in the front field.
Marchisio was in possession of the ball.
Ronaldo ran diagonally and it looked like he wanted Marchisio to pass the ball to him. This attracted the attention of Porto's people. The Brazilian star player's current state was simply terrifying.
Ronaldo's running position pulled Porto's defensive line.
Marchisio glanced at Ronaldo, who suddenly accelerated, but directly sent the ball to the left side, which was the opposite direction of his running direction – Juan Mata's side.
"Beautiful pass!" Ferrari shouted.
Mata's beautiful dribbling sprint and Ronaldo's forward plugging attracted the attention of Porto's defensive line. Now there was no one to defend him for the time being.
"A chance for Inter Milan! Mata continued to dribble the ball! He cut inwards! He cut to the middle and entered the penalty area! "
One of Porto's defenders hurriedly abandoned the other striker, Adriano, in the penalty area and ran up to cover the defense. However, Mata suddenly stopped and spiked the ball, causing it to swing past him.
"Beautiful!"
Bypassing the defender, Mata raised his leg and assumed a volley posture!
Porto's goalkeeper was on standby. On the other side, the defender who had been lured away by Ronaldo also rushed over.
Mata's left foot made contact with the football, but it was not a shot!
With a flick of his ankle, he directly hooked the football out!
It was meant for Ronaldo!
*****
Ronaldo faced the flying football and raised his right foot. It looked like he was going to volley!
"Stop him!" A defender rushed over, intending to use his body to block Ronaldo's shot.
The Brazilian star player raised his right foot, but he did not kick the football. Instead, he rubbed it with his outer instep!
The football once again drew an arc. This time, it flew to the middle!
At the top of the penalty area arc!
Now, everyone was attracted to the penalty area. There was an empty space there!
Then, people saw Marchisio rush up. He stopped the ball with his chest and then directly volleyed it!
The football stuck to the turf and was very fast as it swept towards the goal.
Porto's goalkeeper was completely confused by Inter Milan's series of passes. By the time he realized that Marchisio's was the final killer move and wanted to make a save, his reaction was already too slow. He could only watch as the football swept past the left side of his body and flew into the net behind him!
*****
“Goooooaaaaal!”
"Wonderful coordination! Beautiful goal! Inter Milan's players made Porto's players completely confused! "
"Marchisio! This is his first Champions League game for Inter Milan and he scored a goal. This is also the first goal this young player has scored for Inter Milan! " Ferrari shouted, "The captain of the Juventus youth team that Li Ang poached from Turin has performed well. He has made everyone's eyes shine!"
Marchisio was very excited after the goal. This was his first goal in the Champions League and his first goal in the First Team. He was really excited.
He rushed directly to the technical area and gave Li Ang a big hug. Li Ang brought him from Turin to Milan and fulfilled his promise when he signed the contract to give him a chance to play. This was a very precious trust and promotion for a young man.
"Well done! Claudio! "
The other players chased him to the sidelines and patted his head and shoulders to congratulate him on the goal.
Li Ang pushed Marchisio to the players and let the excited boy be ravaged by his teammates.
He returned to the technical area and sat down. He did not look at the visiting team's technical area again. After this goal, Adrianse and his Porto were finished. Porto's players were fighting with their backs against the wall. Because of this goal, the morale of Porto's players was greatly damaged. They could no longer pose any threat to Inter Milan.
*****
In the end, Inter Milan easily defeated the Portuguese Super League powerhouse Porto at home.
While they won the right to advance out of the group in advance, they also gave Porto four consecutive defeats in the group stage. This team basically had no chance of advancing out of the group stage. Even the third place team in the group had a slim chance of being relegated to the Europa League.
After the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Meazza Stadium was filled with thunderous cheers. The team advanced out of the group stage in advance, which made the Inter Milan fans very excited and proud. They were the first Italian team to advance out of the group stage in this season's UEFA Champions League.
And the good news came two minutes later. An even louder cheer broke out in the stands of Meazza.
In another game, the Slovakian league champion team, Artemidia, equalized the score twice after falling behind twice. In the end, they forced a 2-2 draw at home to Rangers.
In this way, after this round of group stage games, Rangers and Artemidia both had five points!
And Inter Milan won all four games and got 12 points. With two more rounds to go in the group stage, they not only won the right to advance out of the group stage in advance, but also successfully locked in the first place in the group stage in advance!
