Chapter 936 Countermeasures After a Tie

Manchester United fans were stunned. The 2:1 advantage in the away game made them think promotion was certain. Unexpectedly, it only took 45 minutes for Inter Milan to close the gap. Now the two teams are back on the same starting line. .

The Inter Milan fans who traveled across the sea excitedly shouted the name "Sneijder" at the stadium. At this moment, Sneijder had surpassed Gao Xiaodong and became the savior of Inter Milan fans.

Sneijder excitedly raised his arms and ran towards the stands. When passing by Gao Xiaodong, Sneijder slowed down and shook his finger at Gao Xiaodong, quite provocatively.

When they were at Inter Milan, Gao Xiaodong and Sneijder had a very average relationship due to position issues. Although Gao Xiaodong scored a lot of goals and was almost omnipotent, he did not convince Sneijder. After all, in the attacking midfielder position, Gao Xiaodong Xiaodong is not better than Sneijder, but he has become the core of Inter Milan. Sneijder believes that it is mainly because Gao Xiaodong and Mourinho have a good personal relationship.

Later, in the Golden Globe Award selection, Gao Xiaodong was selected into the top three, and Sneijder was not selected. This made Sneijder very dissatisfied. He believed that Gao Xiaodong had squeezed out his position. Although Gao Xiaodong unexpectedly won the Golden Globe Award later, Sneijder was Ned still felt uncomfortable.

This was the provocation from Sneijder after the goal.

Gao Xiaodong's face turned cold.

He still has a lot of affection for this Inter Milan. This is where he became famous and won the Ballon d'Or.

He didn't have any friendship with Sneijder, but he didn't have any bad feelings, but this time Sneijder's behavior made Gao Xiaodong very angry. He sneered at Sneijder's back and said: "Don't get too proud too early, you can't win."

In the VIP box, Moratti was excitedly applauding the court after Sneijder scored. Suddenly he saw Sneijder wagging his finger at Gao Xiaodong. Moratti stopped and his face sank.

Although Mourinho and Gao Xiaodong left Inter Milan, Moratti did not hate him because of love. After all, the master and apprentice helped him fulfill his childhood wish. They are the heroes of Inter Milan.

Sneijder's provocative move is really unnecessary. Moratti doesn't want to have a quarrel with Gao Xiaodong, but now, if Gao Xiaodong hates Wu Jiwu, he may direct his disgust towards Sneijder to Inter Milan. Affect the relationship between Gao Xiaodong and Inter Milan.

CCTV's on-site commentator He Hui saw Sneijder provoking Gao Xiaodong and said: "Sneijder is really seeking death. He is not afraid of Gao Xiaodong going berserk and playing in a super state. According to my observation, from the last round to now, although Gao Xiaodong He tried his best, but he didn't perform beyond his normal capabilities. Now that he is provoked by Sneijder, maybe Gao Xiaodong's little universe will explode."

Someone who had the same feeling as He Hui was captain Zanetti who was sitting on the bench.

Zanetti was sitting on the bench due to injury. He was somewhat disapproving of Sneijder's behavior and felt that Sneijder was provoking trouble.

In the first round, Manchester United was overwhelming Inter Milan. After Manchester United scored two goals, captain Zanetti also begged Gao Xiaodong, hoping that Gao Xiaodong would give his old club some face and not fight to the death. Gao Xiaodong also readily agreed. Zanetti really didn't expect that Sneijder would provoke Gao Xiaodong at this time.

"This guy! He just lost his mind."

Zanetti sighed, wishing he could go out and compete in person.

After the celebration, the referee directly blew the whistle to end the first half without allowing any additional time.

When the whistle sounded, the players from both sides breathed a sigh of relief. Inter Milan interacted excitedly with the fans on the court, while the Manchester United players quickly walked back to the locker room without raising their heads.

"Today's game is really annoying!" Rooney threw down the shin pads in his hand angrily. "We won't score no matter how hard they play!"

Hernandez, who scored the goal, said depressingly: "Today's game was a little weird. Inter Milan just scored at the beginning and at the end."

Scholes said solemnly: "What's wrong? When can't you score a goal? If you score a goal, it means the opponent is playing well."

Gao Xiaodong was also unhappy and said: "We didn't play badly, but we just couldn't score. What should we do?

Perhaps only Scholes is qualified to comfort Gao Xiaodong. The ginger head said seriously: "Luck will change. It will not only follow one team. We have to work hard and wait until fate favors us."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Brother Paul is right."

Rooney said: "We worked harder in the second half. I saw Sneijder was provoking Gao, and we couldn't let them succeed."

While the Manchester United players were discussing, Ferguson walked into the home team's locker room and saw the coach coming. The Manchester United players immediately shut their mouths, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Ferguson did not get angry. His first words were, "Boys, we have underestimated Inter Milan. They are the defending champions."

Ferguson's words were deafening, and everyone realized at this time that after the first round, they really did not take Inter Milan to heart.

Although Manchester United also made careful preparations, they did not regard Inter Milan as stronger than Manchester United and forgot that Inter Milan was the Champions League champion.

In fact, this is normal. Last season, most people believed that Inter Milan could win the championship. Mourinho and Gao Xiaodong were the biggest contributors. And Inter Milan’s record seems to prove this. Without Mourinho, Ao and Gao Xiaodong, Inter Milan played like shit, and their results were a mess.

However, facts have proved that football is a holistic sport. Without Gao Xiaodong and Mourinho, this Inter Milan still has a strong fighting capacity and must not be underestimated in the slightest.

Ferguson continued: "I also underestimated Leonardo. Although his coaching time was short, he was very smart. In today's game, Inter Milan scored two goals, one in the opening three minutes and one at the end of the game. Within three minutes, this was not accidental or luck, this was Inter Milan's tactics. They must have guessed that our mentality might be a little drifting, so they attacked at the beginning and at the end, but we did not attack in the 45 minutes. Focus."

A coach is a coach, especially an old coach. Ferguson sees clearly and the players understand.

Seeing that the players realized the problem, Ferguson made tactical arrangements and personnel adjustments for the second half.

Now that Inter Milan has tied the score, Manchester United has no advantage and even has a disadvantage, because once Inter Milan scores another goal, Manchester United must score two goals.

But to a certain extent, this is also a good thing for Manchester United, because away goals will tempt Inter Milan to attack, and once Inter Milan attacks, with Inter Milan's running ability, Manchester United will counterattack in minutes.

There is a battle of wits and courage between coaches. In the first half, Leonardo guessed the psychology of Manchester United and Ferguson, and evened the score gap with goals. During the halftime break, Ferguson saw Leon. Nadeau's intention was to replace Valencia, the winger who had returned from injury, and replace the midfielder Carrick, and continue to strengthen the speed of wing attack and counterattack. In this way, no matter whether Inter Milan wants to defend or attack in the second half, , Manchester United can adapt to changes.

In the visiting team's locker room, Inter Milan coach Leonardo celebrated with his players. He proudly praised the players for their firm execution of tactics and won himself a chance to advance. In fact, this was bragging about his own performance. The deployment was brilliant.

Finally, Leonardo made arrangements for the second half of the game. Leonardo was indeed attracted by the benefits of away goals. In the second half, he prepared to defend against counterattacks and attack Manchester United in the final period to see what happened. There was no hope of overtaking the score.

Inter Milan has many old players, but Leonardo's deployment is still very good and reasonable, so it has been unanimously approved by the Inter Milan players, except for Carrick who was replaced.
