"This is really bad weather for Arsenal," said the English commentator, Andy Gray.
The first half of the game was over, and the players from both sides had returned to the locker room. At this time, rain suddenly fell from the London night sky. The Arsenal fans seemed to be used to this kind of weather, and the fans were putting on their raincoats. The Italian fans, on the other hand, seemed to be unprepared. Only a portion of the fans brought rain gear. However, the excited Italian fans did not seem to mind. They were singing and cheering.
With Arsenal leading by three to two in the first half of the game, the Inter Milan people did have a reason to cheer.
In the home team's locker room at Highbury Stadium.
"Attack, strengthen the attack in the second half of the game! The midfield, we have to occupy the midfield! We have to suppress Inter Milan to a certain extent! "
"Try to equalize the score as soon as possible, and try to score as many goals as possible! At the same time, we can't concede any more goals! "Wenger's expression was serious.
"Don't think about how many away goals Inter Milan will get. As long as we win the game, as long as we win, then we will have the initiative!"
At this moment, in the away team's locker room.
"Guys! You did a great job in the first half of the game! " Li Ang had a smile on his face. He was happy not only because the team exceeded the score again at the end of the first half, but also because it greatly suppressed the morale of the Arsenal people!
"The midfield! In the second half of the game, suppress Arsenal in the midfield! Don't let them have the ball comfortably, delay their offensive coordination as much as possible! "
"Everyone has to give it their all! If we win this game, the second leg will be much easier for us! "
"We are only 135 minutes away from Paris. It's time for the final sprint!"
The 20052006 season's UEFA Champions League final was played at the Stade de France in Paris. Inter Milan's current efforts were all to be able to step onto the final stage of the Stade de France!

The second half of the game had not started yet. The director aimed the camera at the stands to look for highlights.
In the VIP box, the figure of the Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, appeared. Sir Alex did not seem to realize that he was being locked on by the camera. He had his head down and was writing and drawing.
"Maybe Sir Alex Ferguson has a goal. His Manchester United team needs to regroup next season, "Andy Gray joked.
In this season's Champions League, Manchester United was in the group of Villarreal, Lille, and Benfica. As a seeded team, Manchester United was actually ranked last in the group and was eliminated in the group. This really surprised many people.
Manchester United's assistant manager, Mike Huilan, glanced at Ferguson's notebook and saw "Juan" written on it.
It was a Spanish name.
Inter Milan had two Juan's. One was Juan Mata, and the other was Juan Carlos.
In an inconspicuous corner of Highbury Stadium, a man had buried himself in his windbreaker and was scribbling with his head lowered. He wrote, "Juan."
At this moment, a fan wearing an Arsenal jersey sitting next to him looked over from time to time, his eyes filled with scrutiny and suspicion.
"You're José Mourinho?" The Arsenal fans suddenly recognized the man.
"I'm not!" The man shook his head.
"You are!"
"Well, I am!" Mourinho cracked a smile. "Do you need an autograph?"
The Arsenal fans were a little stunned. Was this Portuguese guy not afraid that hundreds of strong Arsenal men would come to beat him up if he shouted?
Then, the fan struggled for a while and took out a pen and notebook.
To be exact, he was not a die-hard Arsenal fan and did not hate Chelsea that much.
*****
The Portuguese proudly took it and asked casually, "What's your name?"
"Kane!" The fan said, "David Kane!"
"To David Kane. It's starting to rain in Highbury. Take care of yourself, April 18, 2006. José Mourinho," the Portuguese wrote.
David Kane glanced at Mourinho and thought to himself, This Portuguese, do you really think you won't get beaten up?
"Mr. Mourinho, my son is a genius. If you meet him, you'll know." David Kane did not forget to promote his son when he met the Chelsea manager.
"Sorry, maybe your son is really outstanding. But right now, I'm not interested in your son." Mourinho pointed to the field. The players from both sides returned to the field again. The second half of the game was about to begin.
"All right then." David Kane pursed his lips.
At this time, his son, who had gone to the toilet, ran over. "Harry, you little bastard, did you fall in the toilet?"
David Kane growled at his son.
Mourinho glanced at his genius son. His body was a little skinny, and he looked a little too shy …
Mourinho shook his head. Talent aside, the child's character was not to his liking.
David Kane gritted his teeth. He was upset that Mourinho obviously looked down on his son. In his eyes, his son was a genius and the best.
"Portuguese, you'll regret it!" The fat fan, David Kane, thought angrily.

At this time, on the turf of the Highbury stadium, the second half of the game between Arsenal and Inter Milan had begun.
Modric made a long diagonal pass near the center circle. On the left side, Mata stopped the ball with his chest. His body flashed and bypassed Gilbert Silva's defense.
"Beautiful!" Even England's commentator, Andy Gray, could not help but applaud Mata's pass. Although the young Spanish player did not score today, he was one of the most active players in Inter Milan's front field.
Mata continued to dribble the ball forward. In the season at Sporting de Gijón, he stood out and became the best newcomer of the season in La Liga. And this season, when he followed Li Ang to Inter Milan, it was the sublimation of the young Spanish player's career. A season of improvement had made his confidence explode. The young man was high-spirited and thought that his feet could win the world!
Fàbregas came over to defend Mata!
Mata's upper body swayed slightly and his right foot drew a circle on the ball.
Fàbregas was unmoved.
Then Mata began to speed up his movements.
Fàbregas saw the opportunity to make a fierce tackle, but Mata deftly picked up the football and avoided Fàbregas' tackle with the football!
Then, Mata continued to dribble the ball. After attracting Hleb over, he decisively passed the football out. He passed the ball directly to Ronaldo who came over to receive!
"Good!" Li Ang applauded loudly on the sidelines. Young Mata had made rapid progress this season. This kid was smart and a player who used his brain to play football. During the halftime interval, Li Ang wanted Mata to dribble the ball more to attract the attention of Arsenal's defensive line and open up space and opportunities for the other players. Young Mata did a good job.
