Chapter 173 Win at home
  “One to zero is the most unsafe score in football, so in the second half we continued the strategy we had in the first half.

Attack at the beginning, no matter whether it is successful or not, immediately shrink the defense and hit them to defend and counterattack!
  Chelsea's offensive routine is nothing more than these, crosses from the wing to Drogba, and long-range shots from Lampard and Ballack.

Do targeted defense, they have no chance! "

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Ivanovic made a pass from the right, and Drogba was guarded by Maicon from behind. His header from a small angle in front of the goal was easily picked off by Cesar.

Then Lampard fired a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, which was ridiculously wide of the right post.

Looking at it this way, it turned out that head coach Mourinho was right, and the Inter Milan players on the field smiled unconsciously.

We have seen through you, how can you still kick us?
  Inter Milan launched another quick counterattack, and Leo ran the ball from the center for a long distance!
  Chelsea's defensive players were struggling to catch up, but Maicon and Eto'o were really fast.

After receiving Leo's direct pass, the two of them played a one-two outside the penalty area and broke through the last Blues defender.

However, Eto'o failed to control the force of the ball, and Cech was the first to make a clearance!
  Another great opportunity was missed. The cheetah didn't seem to be in very good condition today.

Mourinho held his chin, already thinking about whether it was time to make substitutions.

Ivanovic threw the ball hard from the right side, and Kalu dribbled the ball diagonally into the right side of the small penalty area!

Then he fell to the ground under the challenge of Inter Milan center back Samuel behind him!

The Ivorian excitedly asked for a penalty kick, but referee Gonzalez shook his head and ignored it.

Malouda made a high pass from the left, and Drogba's header from the back slightly missed the far post under the interference of Lucio.

Leo sent a long ball from the backcourt to the gap on the left, and Pandev advanced to receive the ball at high speed.

Macedonian and Kolarov hit the wall on the left side and cooperated to get rid of Ivanovic's entanglement and then the ground ball passed into the penalty area.

Milito turned his back to his teammates in the small penalty area, and Eto'o shot with his right foot!
  Two to zero!
  The Nerazzurri expanded their lead!

After missing opportunities one after another, Eto'o finally lived up to the trust of his teammates and scored the ball!
  Then Cheetah ran to the corner flag area, holding one hand on the corner flag pole and the other hand on his waist. Not to mention, the Cameroonian played an old man with a cane quite well.

Eto'o's amusing celebration caused tens of thousands of Nerazzurri in the stands to laugh.

Some people may wonder why he did this action and what its meaning is.

In fact, it is because after returning to the club after finishing the African Cup of Nations, Eto'o's performance in these games has been average and he has been unable to regain his form.

Some media that like to spread rumors have started to stir up news about the age issue of Cameroonians.

Some people say that he is like this because he has changed his age and is now in his thirties, and all aspects of his physical fitness have begun to decline with age.

Eto'o's celebration after scoring the goal was obviously a powerful response to the media.

Didn't you say that I changed my age? Then I admit it. I am just an old man, but I can still score goals. Are you angry?

Everyone was laughing, but Mourinho was not laughing.

The Portuguese sensed a hint of crisis, but it was too late to alert the players on the field.

Chelsea kicked off, Ivanovic dribbled the ball from the right and drove straight in, attracting two Inter Milan midfielders, then fell to the ground and shoveled the ball to the left!

Kalu's right-footed push from the edge of the penalty area!

Cesar fell to the ground to make a save. Although he hit the ball, he couldn't stop it from entering the net!

The ball scraped against the turf and rolled into the lower right corner of the goal!

Two to one!

Chelsea pulled one back!
  No one expected that it was striker Kalu who was despised by the home team who scored the goal.

The Inter Milan coach sighed. He just realized that the players on the field were a little too happy. The game is not over yet!
  Not wanting to wait any longer, Mourinho replaced Eto'o with Balotelli.

At the end of the game, the goal scorer still enjoyed the applause of the Meazza Stadium.

This also slightly alleviated the Cameroonian's dissatisfaction with being replaced early.

Mikel intercepted the ball and passed it straight. Lampard shot another long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area and flew out of the baseline without even touching the edge of the goal.

Leo has been observing Lampard's movement and ball handling during the game today.

The English magic lantern is a very interesting midfielder, which can also be seen from the fact that he has scored more goals than many forwards in the Premier League.

In the past, Leo preferred to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the team's offensive organization, and providing assists to his teammates was his priority.

Only when his teammates can't count on him, or when he has a more suitable opportunity, will he choose to score by himself.

Lampard is different. Whenever he gets a chance, he likes to take a kick himself.

Even if the position is not very good, even if there are defensive players blocking him.

On the one hand, Shen Deng is confident enough in his long-range shooting skills, and on the other hand, it is also because he has a sufficient status in the team.

Although his body is not outstanding and his skills are not exquisite, Lampard has become the midfielder with the most goals in Premier League history by virtue of his running and long-range shooting.

Although Leo has never been very fond of this kind of shooting style, Lampard got many opportunities today and finally used an unreliable long-range shot to help Inter Milan.

But there are still merits.

Leo is not trying to imitate the opponent's style, but he can learn what he wants from Lampard.

Learning from each other's strengths and integrating the strengths of thousands of families is what he has been doing.

Many people think that Leo is now excellent both offensively and defensively, and his ability to pass and shoot is impeccable. However, he himself has never been complacent and is always seeking improvement.

In the 53rd minute, Leo caught the ball, turned around, accelerated, and easily passed Lampard. Defense has never been what Magic Lamp is good at, so Mikel immediately stepped in to defend.

Leo turned and broke through to the left, passed the defensive player and passed with the instep of his outside foot!
  Chelsea defender Ivanovic was not far away from the rescue. Cambiaso's powerful long-range shot from the sideline of the penalty area was blocked by the Chelsea defender!

The ball flew outside the penalty area and was caught by Cambiaso. The bald head's second consecutive shot flew straight into the dead center on the right side of the goal!

Three to one!

Cambiaso crossed most of the stadium to the front of the opponent's penalty area and scored a world wave!

This is also his first Champions League goal this season!

Balotelli broke through with the ball, but fell to the ground and was injured due to interference from Malouda.

Chelsea pretended not to see it and continued to attack with the ball, and the Meazza stadium was booed!
  In the end, it was Cambiaso who took the initiative to foul and forced the game to stop, allowing the Inter Milan team doctor to enter the court to examine Balotelli.

But Bashen is fine, but the real attrition is on Chelsea's side.

Blues goalkeeper Petr Cech accidentally injured his knee when receiving a low-threatening cross from the right from Maicon at the far post, and gestured for a substitution.

The Czech was then taken off on a stretcher, and substitute goalkeeper Hilario came on as an emergency warm-up.

The opponent's main goalkeeper was injured and came off the field, and Mourinho would definitely not miss such a good opportunity.

Inter Milan was not satisfied with the two-goal advantage and began to attack aggressively at home.

Compared with Cech, the 34-year-old Portuguese goalkeeper Hilario is indeed not trustworthy at all.

In the 61st minute, Kolarov broke through from the left and moved to the far point. Maicon accelerated to get rid of Malouda's defense and knocked back to the penalty area.

Leo got into position in advance and took a stance in the arc of the penalty area without stopping the ball and volleyed hard with his right foot!
  The ball went in! Four to one!

Hilario stood stupidly in front of the goal and didn't even have time to make a save. He watched helplessly as Leo's shot went into the net.

There was no suspense anymore, and the Nerazzurri in the stands stood up to celebrate the victory.

Even the head coach Mourinho on the sidelines couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

In the 82nd minute, Lampard dunked past Balotelli on the left side of the penalty area and passed the ball high, and Zanetti headed the header to clear the ball.

Leo was replaced by Muntari.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Mikel's long shot from the right missed directly.

At the end of the game, Inter Milan defeated Chelsea, the Premier League leader, 4-1 at home.

The three-goal lead also gave Mourinho's team an advantage in the two-round contest.

"The first leg is important, but the second leg is even more important because the second game will decide everything.

It is too early to say promotion, and it is too disrespectful to the opponent.

We head to London for the second leg, where Chelsea will be tougher to deal with at Stamford Bridge. "

Mourinho was still not too arrogant in the post-match press conference.

Before the game, Chelsea head coach Carlo Ancelotti told reporters that all Italians would cheer for Chelsea, and now Mourinho can finally fight back.

“I don’t care if I’m popular or not.

I'm always focused on my job, and I'm here to compete in a football game with him, not to see who is better at people-pleasing.

In this game, we won the final victory, and I am very happy about it.

The performance of Chelsea's players was not bad, Drogba, Lampard, Terry... they were all as good as I remembered.

But today at Meazza, our players performed better, so we won the game. "

Mourinho didn't want to talk about the previous mess, but he couldn't help reporters asking questions again and again.

"Of course, we will continue to appeal against the suspension decision made by the Serie A Sporting Tribunal.

Your questions are really ridiculous, and if you really don’t know why this is happening, then you are not professional at all.

The referee targeted us again and again, making inexplicable penalties during the game and even more inexplicable additional penalties after the game.

Let me tell you, there are many people in Italy who don't want to see us win the championship, and they take action.

But I want to say that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are useless.

Inter Milan is used to winning, and it is disgusting that some people want to prevent us from continuing to win through unreasonable means.

No matter how shameless they are, we will not be afraid.

Enemy of Italy? I only know that all the Inter Milan fans are standing behind me. Who is my enemy? You should all know. "

Although the club has issued a ban within the team after the incident, asking coaches and players not to respond to questions related to these incidents in interviews.

Inter Milan wants to avoid further deterioration of the situation as much as possible.

But Mourinho couldn't help but say more things that he shouldn't have said. Anyway, there is no need to worry about the debt. At the worst, it doesn't matter if he is suspended for two more games.

Inter Milan fan groups spontaneously organized to protest against the recent unfair treatment suffered by the team.

“A corrupt body will not tolerate health, crazy people will regard law and reason as madness, and in a place full of oppression and darkness, freedom is an unreachable dream.

We want to thank Mourinho, we want to thank the Portuguese, let us use this gesture to satirize the entire Italian football. "
