"The rolling wheel of history is unstoppable!"
When Milan Sport looked forward to the game between Inter Milan and Arsenal, they used Li Ang's words as their headline.
The Milan media was full of praise for Li Ang. On Arsenal's side, Wenger constantly emphasized that Arsenal would win. Compared to Li Ang's pretentious words, it was indeed a lot lower.
"Very imposing, in line with Inter Milan's current strength!" — Milan Sport commented on Li Ang's words.
Inter Milan's fans also said that their manager was too stylish and domineering. Compared to Li Ang, the Frenchman with the wrinkles on his face that could pinch mosquitoes was not enough.
Inter Milan's fans were happy. Naturally, Arsenal's fans did not have a good feeling.
The Sun reported that Arsenal's fans left messages on the official website and petitioned that the team must teach Inter Milan a good lesson at home, just like how they had taught the other powerhouse team in Milan a lesson before.
That's right. Speaking of which, whether it was the Arsenal fans, the Arsenal players, or even their manager, Wenger, now had more confidence in defeating Inter Milan. The most important reason for this confidence was that they had previously eliminated Inter Milan's sister from the same city, the defending champion AC Milan.
AC Milan was the defending champion and the best team in Europe among the Italian teams, but they had been completely defeated and eliminated by Arsenal!
This gave the whole Arsenal team a lot of confidence and confidence!
*****
"We've even completely defeated the defending champion. Inter Milan is also no match for us!" Before the game started, the Arsenal manager cheered the players on in the home team's locker room at the Emirates Stadium.
"This is our home ground, our territory!"
"Let's teach the arrogant Inter Milan a good lesson!"
Looking at the eager expressions on the players' faces, Wenger knew that his words had worked. He insisted that his team's strength was not worse than Inter Milan's. As long as they played their strength, eliminating Inter Milan would not be a problem.
When the game started, just as Wenger expected, Arsenal's players showed a strong desire to win. They put pressure on Inter Milan's goal from the start.
Arsenal had never been a team known for its defense. They were best at offense. Therefore, Wenger's tactical intention was very clear. He wanted to use offense to suppress Inter Milan!
If Arsenal could play the way they did in the two-goal victory over AC Milan at the San Siro, Wenger believed that his team could also beat Inter Milan.
Wenger looked forward to Arsenal's youth storm at home again.
Arsenal's offense was indeed more incisive, and the players seemed to be in their best form earlier.
Just two minutes into the game, Flamini passed the ball and Fàbregas did the ball. After Adebayor got the ball, he broke through on the left flank and then passed the ball.
The football was passed into the penalty area. Hleb wanted to head the ball, but Samuels jumped first and headed the football out of the penalty area. Diaby wanted to do a long shot, but after being touched by Carlos, he lost his balance and shot high.
A minute later, Sagna cooperated with his teammates on the flank again. After a wall-knocking combination, he dribbled the ball and broke through Evra. He then passed a low pass in front of the goal. Samuels went to defend against Fàbregas. Chivu marked Adebayor. He kicked the football out in front of Adebayor. Arsenal got their first corner kick of the game.
Hleb took the corner kick.
It was a tactical corner kick. Hleb – Fàbregas – Diaby. After a series of passes, the football was hoisted into the penalty area. Adebayor successfully grabbed the header this time, but under Samuels's defense, he was unable to block the power. The football was easily received by Inter Milan's goalkeeper, César.
*****
"The game has only started for three minutes. Arsenal had one shot, one corner kick, and two passes to the goal. Although Inter Milan successfully defended and did not concede the ball, they were very passive at the start of the game … Inter Milan's manager, Li Ang, talked big before the game, but it looks like it was just big talk. His team now seems to be able to concede the ball at any time … "
The English commentator was in a good mood. Arsenal played very well at the start of the game. They used their strength to prove why they could eliminate the defending champion, AC Milan.
The camera also deliberately gave a close-up of Inter Milan's technical area. To some people's disappointment, Li Ang sat in the technical area with his legs crossed when they saw the team's passive start. He did not seem to be worried about his team's passive start at all. They even saw a smile on Li Ang's face.
"It looks like Manager Li Ang is not worried about his team at all. I hope that after the game, his mood can still be as good as it is now and he can still smile …"
The English commentator was talking when Inter Milan launched an attack. According to Li Ang's arrangement before the game, the attack was to be launched from Inter Milan's right flank, which was also Arsenal's left flank.
Li Ang had done a thorough study of Arsenal. This Arsenal team was indeed very good at offense, and at the same time, they did a good job in defense. However, Li Ang noticed that Arsenal's good defense was built on the foundation of their offense. This was an illusion. In fact, Arsenal's midfield did not have a real defensive barrier. Whether it was Eboue, Flamini, Eyabi, or Fàbregas, their contributions to the defense were not enough to make Arsenal's midfield hard!
Or it could be said that Arsenal did not have a reliable defensive midfielder like Juan Carlos!
This time it was official. Inter Milan kicked the ball out of the goal and launched their first attack since the game started.
*****
César threw the football to Samuels. The latter pulled the ball, turned around, and quickly sent the ball out. Carlos passed the ball directly to the flank. Mata and Montari cooperated and continued to dribble the ball forward.
In the face of Inter Milan's rapid advance, Flamini came up to intercept.
Mata took the ball and dribbled the ball very quickly. When he was close to Flamini, he continuously pedaled. Just as Flamini made a move, he suddenly spiked the ball and then accelerated!
After bypassing Flamini, Mata directly passed the ball, which caught Eboue, who rushed over to fill the gap, off guard!
"Mata, beautiful! He suddenly passed the football to Milito, who came to support him in the middle! "Ferrari shouted.
Mata's outburst was brilliant. The sudden pass, especially when Eboue was attracted to cover the defense, caused a hole to appear in Arsenal's defense, which was not considered solid to begin with.
In the face of a somewhat over-excited Arsenal, Inter Milan showed their coldness and ruthlessness.
