Figo cut straight into Arsenal's penalty area!
Toure had to give up the middle and rush towards Figo, who was cutting diagonally into the penalty area.
"Beautiful!" The Italian commentator could not help but applaud the Portuguese veteran's actions.
Figo made an emergency stop and pulled the ball back to avoid Toure's tackle.
Then, Figo calmly scored the ball to the top of the arc outside the penalty area. His whole action was unusually cool.
At the top of the arc, Modric quickly cut in.
The Croatian young player lifted his leg and shot.
The football drew a beautiful arc and swept towards Arsenal's goal!
Lehmann did not have time to react to this ball. He did not even have time to jump. He just instinctively waved his hand.
The football swept over Lehmann's right hand and then drilled into the net, knocking the snow-white net up!
*****
“Goooooaaaaal！”
"Oh oh oh oh! Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful goal, Modric! "
"The Croatian scored his fourth goal of the season in the Champions League! Inter Milan once again takes the lead, two to one! "
"Wonderful counterattack! Wonderful attack! Wonderful goal! "
"Modric scored! Wonderful goal! Before this, Carlos's pressing, Zanetti's interception and long-distance raid, Figo's bypass and pass were all wonderful. Beautiful! Inter Milan played beautifully! "
Li Ang got up from the technical area. He raised his arms and cheered the goal. He even shook his arms vigorously at the end. This goal really excited him!
Modric ran to celebrate, and then he was surrounded by his teammates. Everyone threw him to the ground and celebrated.
The veteran Figo hugged another veteran, Zanetti, and then the two veterans shook their arms vigorously and cheered!
The camera first swept across Inter Milan's technical area, where Li Ang was receiving congratulations from the coaching staff.
Then, the camera swept to Arsenal's technical area. Wenger got up and stood there. The expression on his face finally began to become dignified.
They were down one to two, and Inter Milan had scored two away goals. The first half of the game was not over yet. This score was quite a big blow to Arsenal!
*****
As Inter Milan celebrated, Wenger called the team captain, Henry, to the sidelines.
"Thierry, the situation is not good," Wenger said directly.
Henry nodded. Two goals had been scored by the opponent, and they were behind on their home ground. This situation was indeed quite bad.
"We must equalize the score before the end of the first half!" Wenger said.
"Let Pires and Ljungberg help you! Attack with all your might! " Arsène Wenger's decision was quite bold because if Arsenal were to attack with all their might, it would be very dangerous if Inter Milan were to take advantage of a loophole and score another goal.
However, at this moment, Arsenal had to give it their all.
This was the first time in Arsenal's history that they had reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. Wenger and Arsenal were eager for the team to go one step further and touch that wonderful trophy!
After the match kicked off in the middle circle, it became even more exciting!
Arsenal attacked recklessly!
Inter Milan did not seem to have any intention of playing a defensive counterattack. Their offense was also impressive. Both sides went back and forth and played very well.
*****
"This is definitely the most beautiful match in the Champions League semifinals in recent years!"
"Whether it is Inter Milan or Arsenal, they are not playing conservatively!"
In the 41st minute of the game, Henry dribbled the ball to break through. He was surrounded by Samuels and Evra, but he beautifully poked the ball out with the tip of his foot.
Pires received the ball. This was his good opportunity!
Modric saw that the situation was not good and decisively committed a tactical foul to pull down Pires.
The referee's whistle sounded and ruled that Inter Milan had committed a foul. He also showed a yellow card to Modric.
Pires took the free kick.
The football was driven into the penalty area. Touré jumped up to fight for the header. He and Samuels went to head the ball at the same time. The football flew over the penalty area.
Inter Milan's goalkeeper, César, hit the football but did not hit it out of the penalty area. Instead, it caused chaos in Inter Milan's penalty area!
In the chaos, Ljungberg leaned on Zanetti and swept the football with his right foot. The football bounced and rolled towards the goal.
César's vision was blocked and he could not react immediately. The football rolled past his foot into the net behind him.
*****
“Goooooaaaaal！”
"Two to two! Ljungberg! Arsenal equalized the score! "
"The game is amazing! Arsenal is behind twice! They equalized the score twice! "
In the stands of Highbury Stadium, the Arsenal fans burst into thunderous cheers.
F * ck!
Li Ang waved his arm helplessly. It was really infuriating that Arsenal equalized the score before the end of the first half!
No, he could not let Arsenal's morale rise!
Li Ang called the team captain, Zanetti, to the sidelines. He asked the team to launch a frenzied attack in the last moments of the first half and strive to score another goal. They had to suppress Arsenal's morale again!
Even if they could not score, they had to scare Arsenal and make them feel pressured.
*****
After the game resumed, people were surprised to find that Inter Milan, who had been equalized, did not seem to accept the score of two to two in the first half of the game. They suddenly launched a frenzied attack.
Arsenal seemed to be caught off guard. The defensive line was a little jittery for a moment!
Wenger glanced at the away team's technical area. He had to admit that Li Ang's brain was really unusual. Generally speaking, at this time, both sides would temporarily default to the score of two to two and see the results in the second half of the game. However, Li Ang's tactical change was unexpected by Wenger. Arsenal was also in a passive position for a moment.
Mata took the ball in the front field. Just as he adjusted the football, Arsenal's Gilbert Silva and Ljungberg immediately surrounded him. The two Arsenal players, one in front and one behind, sandwiched him in the middle like a sandwich.
Mata protected the football. He pulled the ball inside his foot, looking for a gap to pass the ball!
Ljungberg kicked first and poked the ball down.
Immediately after, a Swede took the lead and kicked again, passing the ball to Fàbregas, who was running over.
*****
After Fàbregas got the ball, he turned slightly and adjusted. He was not in a hurry to dribble the ball or pass the ball. Instead, he wanted to control the football under his feet. Inter Milan's sudden frenzied attack caught Arsenal off guard and made them look very embarrassed!
Fàbregas wanted to control the pace of the game.
However, he soon found himself in a tight encirclement. Carlos and Modric rushed up together and surrounded him.
Fàbregas tried to control the ball under his feet.
"Here!" Hleb ran over to help!
Fàbregas quickly passed the football out!
However, Carlos cleverly fell to the ground and shoveled, touching the football.
The football bounced up!
Then, Modric rushed up with all his strength and blocked Hleb. He pulled the ball with his right foot and turned in a circle, leaving Hleb behind him to pounce on empty air. At the same time, the Croatian young player also completed his turn.
Beautiful counter-steal!
Beautiful ball protection to get rid of the ball!
"Beautiful!" The Italian commentator stood up and roared excitedly.
