Chapter 310 Sneijder's set-piece
With the referee's whistle, the game began.
Inter Milan's lineup is very neat this time. As soon as the game started, they planned to suppress the Donetsk miners.
Lucescu was not surprised by Inter Milan like this. After all, the one who needs to score the most is Inter Milan.
At the beginning, Inter Milan was still more pursuing midfield control. Pan Def pulled back a little and participated in some organizations. It was said to be a 4-3-3 formation, but in fact it was more like a 4-4-2 or 4-3-1-2.
This time, after the opening, Xu Qi appeared on the left position, and the one who faced him was Maikon, one of the strongest right-backs in football today.
This game is still live broadcast by Fengyun Football and other online media, and TV5 still chose the offensive football showdown between Barcelona and Arsenal.
In fact, before this game, Inter Milan also released a smoke bomb, saying that Sneider was injured in training before the game, and it is doubtful whether he could play.
But yesterday, Manchester United released a smoke bomb and attacked Bayern at the beginning, so Lucescu had no smoke bombs from Inter Milan at all.
So Sneider was in the list when Inter Milan started, which did not surprise the Donetsk Miners.
After a few minutes of Inter Milan attack, the Donetsk miners also found an opportunity to launch a quick counterattack.
It was Xu Qi on the left side that he got the ball. When he faced the opponent's Maicon, he decisively chose to break through one-on-one!
Xu Qi is really capable of controlling the ball under his feet now. Even when facing a full-back of Maicon, Xu Qi is not afraid at all.
Go up and fight!
After a bicycle fake action, Xu Qi forced himself to overtake from the outside. Just as Maikong turned around and chased him, Xu Qi quickly changed direction and rushed to the inside.
This made Maikong lose balance a little. In a hurry, Maikong directly stepped out and put Xu Qi down without letting Xu Qi go.
Xu Qi fell to the ground and began to ask the referee for yellow cards.
The referee was Ranoy Stark from France, who blew up Macon's foul but did not give the card.
The game has just started a few minutes, and playing cards at the beginning will indeed make the subsequent game difficult to control.
"Maicon avoided a yellow card, but he should be careful. If he gets a yellow card in this game, Maicon will have a cumulative yellow card suspension in the next Champions League game. If they can enter the Champions League semi-finals, this will be a huge loss for them. After all, Maicon is a very important figure in Inter Milan, both on the defensive and offensive ends." Liu Jiayuan, a commentator of Fengyun Football, commented.
At the beginning, Inter Milan did quickly gain an advantage, but in the Donbas Arena, they made many mistakes. The Donetsk Miners also fought back several times by grabbing the ball.
Especially Pandefu's situation, he doesn't seem to be particularly good today. During the opening period, Pandefu has been stolen twice in a row.
Of course, the position of Pandev in this rain is also related to him. He can dribble and score goals in a small space. This time his position was moved behind Etoo and Milito, so he is often snatched by Fernandinho and Hubuschmann.
So it's easier to lose the ball.
In the ninth minute of the game, Pandev turned around after taking the ball and was dragged to the ground by Hubuschmann's leg. Pandev created a free kick opportunity for Inter Milan.
The position of this free kick has entered Sneider's range.
This time, Sneider stood in front of the ball, gently assisted, and exerted his strength with one kick, and his feet were strong!
As the saying goes, a miracle was made, and this free kick shot through the wall, rushing towards the Donetsk Miners' goal like a "Tianma Meteor Fist"!
Piatov was also disturbed by the wall. His reaction was a little slow when facing the ball passing through the wall.
So the ball appeared in the ball net!
"The ball was scored! Sneider scored directly with a free kick! Beautiful, beautiful, Inter Milan took the lead as soon as the game started! This is the start Mourinho wanted!" Liu Jiayuan commented.
An important goal was generated, and this group of Inter Milan naturally had to celebrate it.
The players of the Donetsk Miners felt a little helpless at this time. Sometimes, it was really awkward to lose such free kicks.
It seems that there is no problem with their defense, but the opponent scored the goal.
"You really can't give the opponent any chance. The opponent scores the goal as soon as you give it a chance." Xu Qi shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, they still have a long time to equalize the score at home. The key is that Inter Milan scored away goals, which means they must win Inter Milan before they can advance.
If we just tie the score, we will have to play extra time in the end. The overtime score should not be written, and they may have to play penalty kicks.
Although playing penalty kicks may not be a good choice for the Donetsk Miners, at least, they have to tie the score first. Moreover, at the same time, they must do a good job in the defense and must not concede the ball.
Sneijder ran to Mourinho and hugged Mourinho. Mourinho also took this opportunity to immediately arrange a new strategy for the team. Since he scored a goal, the situation is of course different. Inter Milan will definitely change the team.
After arranging the new strategic guidelines, Inter Milan players also returned to their half.
Donetsk Miners kicked off in the middle circle, and Lucescu's strategy of trying to keep a steady foothold before the game was hit, and he also needed to respond again.
In the first half, the main attacking position of the Donetsk Miners was still on the left side, which was on Xu Qi's side. Lucescu hoped to help the team score through Xu Qi's breakthrough ability, and at the same time, he also suppressed Maikon's backcourt to attack.
In the 25th minute, Judson passed the ball to this side of Xu Qi again. Xu Qi used a fancy stopping action to stop the ball in front of Mai Kong to stop the ball, and his right foot was hovering above the ball for a moment, and his feet were all provocative.
This also made Macon very unhappy. He said to himself: I am a Brazilian, can you still call me a Chinese? But he was about to play, but he was worried that he would be able to play in the semi-finals. At the critical moment, he was timid again.
Just as he was hesitating, Xu Qi quickly activated and broke through from his side!
"Beautiful! Xu Qi's wonderful breakthrough, Maikong who broke through directly! Let's take a look at his next choice!" Liu Jiayuan said excitedly.
Xu Qi's ability to reverse the foot at this time is already quite good. Even on the left side, he can still use his left foot to pass a very good cross.
Now, Xu Qi did not hesitate. After breaking through, he directly crossed the left foot.
The landing point of the ball was actually pretty good. However, in the opponent's penalty area, Lucio directly used a barb action to clear the cross from Xu Qi to the penalty area!
"All this is OK?" Xu Qi said helplessly.
There are indeed not many such opportunities. If Lucio doesn't encounter the ball, Adriano might have stepped forward and kicked the ball in.
Chapter completed!
