After Modric successfully intercepted the ball, he dribbled the ball forward. However, Hleb was also very active in his counterattack. He stuck close to Modric's left rear, which made Modric unable to speed up.
When counterattacking, the most important thing was speed!
Modric did not tangle with Hleb. He found a route to the ball.
With a flick of his ankle, he sent the football out with a high ball!
Mata ran over to receive him. He stopped the ball with his chest and dribbled the ball forward.
Flamini came up to intercept. The Frenchman came up and used his hands and feet to try to stop Mata from moving forward.
Under Flamini's push, Mata looked a little stumbling and could fall at any time.
"Don't give them a free kick!" The Arsenal goalkeeper, Jens Lehmann, shouted. He reminded Flamini to pay attention to the spot of the foul.
Flamini suddenly woke up and realized that it was more dangerous to foul in this spot. He subconsciously relaxed his pressure on Mata.
This gave Mata a chance to continue moving forward. He suddenly sped up and with a leap, he temporarily broke away from Flamini's pressure.
Damn it!
Flamini was shocked and hurried to give chase. If Mata broke into the penalty area, it would be terrible. It would be better to give Inter Milan a free kick just now.
*****
Touré came up and intended to stop Mata from moving forward!
Sendros, on the other hand, stared at Adriano nervously. He was now traumatized by this Brazilian.
Mata dribbled the ball forward and suddenly passed the football out.
The target was Ronaldo!
"He's missed!" The English commentator shouted in panic.
Ronaldo stretched out his leg to stop the ball. There were no defenders around him for the time being. Two meters away from him, Eboue was sprinting desperately.
"This is Ronaldo's chance!" The Italian commentator roared.
The Arsenal fans were also nervous. It was too dangerous to let Ronaldo get a chance to shoot from that position!
Everyone thought Ronaldo was going to shoot!
However, the Brazilian did something that no one expected. He pushed the ball with his foot and passed the ball out!
It was not a shot!
It was a pass!
Who was he passing it to?!
Then, they saw Figo rushing over!
*****
The Portuguese veteran seemed to have expected that Ronaldo would pass the ball to him. The tacit understanding between the two superstars during their time in Real Madrid, as well as the chemistry between the superstars, resulted in this wonderful attack!
Figo rushed up, and the Portuguese veteran raised his left hand slightly. Using all the strength in his body, he suddenly took two steps forward. His right foot did not hesitate to hit the middle and lower end of the ball, and he kicked the ball forward.
The football left the ground!
A beautiful banana arc!
"Ronaldo! He passed the ball!! Figo!!! They've shot!!! "The Italian commentator roared.
The speed of the ball was very fast!
Moreover, it had a beautiful arc!
The players from both sides in the penalty area only saw a flash of white light, and then subconsciously looked at the goalkeeper.
Lehmann's attention was on Ronaldo. By the time he saw that Figo was the last shooter, Figo had already finished the shot. Then the German goalkeeper only saw a ball flying in front of him, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
The tall and burly German goalkeeper had an amazing jumping ability. He tried his best to fly to the side, wanting to complete the save!
Lehmann tried his best to extend his right hand to his right, hoping to pounce on the ball.
It was a very beautiful save.
However, in the end, the Arsenal goalkeeper only touched a piece of air.
The ball almost flew into the net at the junction of the left crossbar and the column. The strong rotation of the ball made a crisp friction sound after it came into contact with the net.
Lehmann, who had flown to the side, fell to the ground. He turned his head to look back and stared blankly at the ball rolling inside the goal line …
At the last moment of the first half, Inter Milan actually surpassed the score again?!
The Arsenal players were also rooted to the ground, dumbfounded …
*****
“Goooooaaaaal!!!! Beautiful!! Extremely beautiful! Inter Milan's star players contributed a beautiful goal for us. A kick that made people jump up and cheer excitedly! Figo scored! Ronaldo assisted! A joint performance by two former Real Madrid star players! "
“Goooooaaaaal! Incredible! It's incredible! Inter Milan scored again at the last moment of the first half. They broke through Lehmann's goal for the third time in the entire first half! Three to two! Inter Milan once again took the lead in the score! "
"That's football! That's the charm of football! No one knew the result before the whistle sounded at the end of the game! Everyone thought the first half would end with a score of two to two! However, Inter Milan said 'no'! "
"This is definitely the craziest Champions League semi-final in recent years! The score of two to two and the process already made us marvel at the intensity and excitement of the game. However, Inter Milan used their third goal to tell us that the game can be even more exciting and incredible! "
"Praise Inter Milan! Praise Carlos, praise Modric, praise Mata, praise Ronaldo! Praise Figo! Inter Milan made a magnificent attack!! In the first minute of injury stoppage time in the first half, Inter Milan leads by 3: 2, "the Italian commentator shouted ecstatically.
The Inter Milan fans were also ecstatic!
No one thought that Inter Milan would exceed the score again at the last moment of the first half!
They gave Arsenal, whose morale was boosted after the equalizer, a heavy blow!
Three to two, the score was in the lead, with three away goals!
The Inter Milan players did well!
*****
On the field, the Inter Milan players were celebrating the goal frantically. Ronaldo and Figo hugged each other tightly!
Figo was particularly excited. He was kicked out by Real Madrid. The picture of the Portuguese superstar fleeing the Bernabéu in a panic had once become the focus of ridicule and sarcasm in the Madrid media. Now, Real Madrid was' habitually 'out of the Champions League early, but he was with Inter Milan and had the hope of sprinting towards the European throne!
I, Figo, am not old yet!
The Portuguese veteran wanted to roar to the sky!
He wanted to roar to the whole world!
More people rushed up and hugged them!
On the sidelines:
"Haha! Haha! Wahaha! Wahahaha! " The Inter Milan manager, Li Ang, stood there without a care for his image. He stood in the technical area with his hands on his hips, his head held high, and his chest puffed out. He laughed wildly at the London night sky.
The China manager did not care that this would anger the Arsenal people. He just felt that this goal was too satisfying, whether it was the timing or the process of the goal!
Since it was satisfying, why should he endure it?!
Wasn't this a goal that made people jump up and cheer in excitement?!
The broadcast camera presented the arrogant side of the Inter Milan manager to the world. He was so wild, so unscrupulous!
The camera changed to the Arsenal technical area. Their manager, Wenger, stood there with a worried look on his face. His hands seemed to want to reach into the pockets of his jacket, but he could not pull open the zipper of his jacket …
