Before the start of the game, players from both sides accepted many interviews, and their words were offensive to each other, which had a good warm-up effect.
This also led to the Meazza stadium being packed on the day of the match.
The 76,000 people were all packed, all Inter Milan fans.
Not only were Inter Milan's flags flying, but there were also giant posters of Vieri, Recoba, Zanetti and other players.
There's even a poster of Ronaldo.
You know, after Ronaldo came back in April and May last year, he was seriously injured again after playing for fifteen minutes. This injury lasted for a year, and he has not returned yet.
Inter Milan fans have to wait at least more than two months to see him play here.
The group of Inter Milan players in front of them are even more familiar with their opponent's player Viana, who they have only known for less than ten days, than Ronaldo.
They can keep Viana's physical data and game data at home, but they have almost forgotten Ronaldo's appearance.
In this game, as Triguera expected, Inter Milan did change their formation.
Vieri, Recoba
Farinos, Pirlo, Seedorf, Di Biagio
Cordoba, Blanco, Ferrari, Zanetti
Frey
It looks like a 442, but Seedorf and Pirlo may move back, and Recoba plays as an attacking midfielder or shadow forward. The lineup structure is closer to 4231, and Vieri is the single arrow of this team.
Sporting Lisbon used a traditional formation, with Drogba starting.
After the game started, the shouts on the scene were very loud, which confused many young players of Sporting Lisbon.
The bonus of playing at the home court of the wealthy Devils is reflected.
Only three minutes into the game.
Faced with Vieri's pressing, Fonte did not dare to pass the ball to Barzagli on the right, and chose to pass the ball directly to the seemingly larger Deschamps in the gap.
As a result, Recoba, who was ambushing next to him, ran directly laterally, got stuck between Deschamps and the football, and completed the interception.
Recoba got the ball in front of the penalty area, no one was guarding him, and he easily entered the penalty area.
There is still Vieri running in the penalty area, and Schmeichel has no way to attack.
boom!
Recoba kicked and shot.
The football goes into the net easily.
"Goal! Recoba! Inter Milan's most loyal player Recoba scored a goal!"
"Too fast! Only three minutes into the game! This is a goal from Font's assist!"
"It seems that Fonte really wants to join Inter Milan. Is this considered a certificate of admission?"
"Hahaha, just kidding, Fonte must be too nervous!"
"Mainly Fonte didn't expect that even a superstar like Vieri would participate in the press. He was obviously panicked!"
"In this way, Inter Milan is 1-0 in the second round, and the total score of the two rounds is tied 4-4, but they have three away goals, so now it is them who are qualified to enter the next round!"
Inter fans were ecstatic.
It seems that after going round and round, although they lost in the first round, they were the ones who advanced in the end.
This result is completely acceptable to them.
They never considered what would happen if they were eliminated from the UEFA Cup. With their lineup configuration, it would be a pity to reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup.
High and low are going to the finals!
With Inter Milan's goal, the atmosphere became more and more intense.
The stadium's decibel level was off the charts, almost reaching a new high for this stadium this season.
In fact, Inter Milan fans have been depressed for most of the season.
Exiting the Champions League in the group stage is a shame.
In the league, almost all the strong matches were lost, and Inter Milan fans simply couldn't hold their heads up.
A week ago, they were defeated by a small Portuguese Super League team. If they don't bottom out and rebound, the fans will really have no choice but to cause trouble for their own players and management.
Nine minutes.
Fonte passed the ball across to find Barzagli. Barzagli also had problems facing Farinos' pressing. His handling of picking the ball to find Deschamps was too childish.
The key is to give it too much, directly to Pirlo's feet.
Pirlo started with a through ball.
Once Recoba catches the ball, it's a one-man shot.
At the critical moment, Matthaus flew up and shoveled the football out of the bottom line.
Sporting Lisbon gave the opponent a corner kick.
"Barzagli was nervous." Maxa knew very well how Barzagli felt at this time. "In Italy, Barzagli was undoubtedly a loser. Even though he was reborn in Lisbon, he still had doubts in his bones. own level.”
"He lacked confidence, at least when he returned to Italy, his confidence was gone."
"What's more, the opponents he faces are still the top people in Italy. He cannot adapt to the excitement and worry in his heart when playing against these opponents."
This is where grassroots players are inferior to young successful players.
In the same situation, players such as Yin Bu and Quaresma will not be like this.
But Barzagli, Fonte and even Drogba in the frontcourt will.
In the 11th minute, when Fonte could clear the ball out, he took precautions and cleared the ball out of the bottom line.
This directly led to the fans at the scene applauding him.
Because there's no one around him, he can take the football down.
Fonte was obviously still too nervous. He was afraid of making mistakes and felt his feet were burning when he saw the football.
Pirlo then took a corner kick.
Inter Milan center back Blanco jumped high and scored with a header.
"Well done! Blanco! This is the strength of the central defender in the best team of the European Cup!"
"Two to zero! Inter Milan leads by two goals! The total score in the two rounds is 5 to 4! They found themselves and showed the strength of Serie A's super giants!"
"Sporting Lisbon was weak and pitiful in front of them. These young people were completely stunned!"
For Sporting Lisbon, Deng Kai immediately began to direct: "Fonte, if you miss someone again when you step on the horse, get out of here! Pepe can play 10,000 times better than you!"
"Barzagli, have you signed with Inter Milan? Are you afraid of hurting their players? Move bigger! If your body can't eat Farinos, you are committing a crime, you know? "
"That's just Farinos, don't mistake him for Vieri!"
"Terry, keep an eye on Recoba, he's got too many opportunities, you know what I mean!"
"Matthaus, start running. It's not time for you to rest yet. This defense needs your help. This is the time to show that Mr. Golden Ball is different from other players!"
"Deschamps, your position needs to be further back. You have become their breakthrough point. Try to hit the ball as much as possible. Their midfield and frontcourt press are very strong. If the speed slows down, we will suffer."
Deng Kai took advantage of the opponent's celebration time to constantly dispatch his teammates, and finally he found Viana: "Viana, I will retreat to help the team pass the ball, and the next team's offense will be handed over to you."
