The Day I Played with Ronaldo

After the start of the second half, Ricardo found that although Liverpool did not make substitutions and adjustments, their tactics had undergone new changes.

If in the first half they had to retreat to protect themselves because of Ronaldo's outstanding personal ability, they had to retreat to protect themselves, then in the second half they consciously took the initiative to recover.

Even the two full-backs Riise and Luis Garcia were withdrawn to the corner of the penalty area, leaving only Smicell and Baros in the frontcourt.

It seems that they intend to fight for a tie, and then use the physical advantage of overtime to decide the outcome. After all, the English League has ended, and Liverpool had no hope of winning the league for a long time, so they gave up early, and the main players got a full rest.

When counterattacking, Luis Garcia often takes the ball from the side and then breaks through the center, forming a numerical advantage in the center, so that the quality of their counterattack is not bad at all.

Mancini watched for a few minutes, shouting to the players on the pitch to slow down.

Since Liverpool is not in a hurry, neither is he. At this time, the comparison is patience. Whoever loses patience first and reveals his flaws is likely to bear the consequences.

Even though Inter Milan's offensive rhythm slowed down, Ronaldo still threatened the opponent from time to time.

Correspondingly, Adriano's state is really not good. Before Christmas, he definitely had the strength of a world-class player, but after Christmas, his state immediately declined, and now he only maintains the upper-middle level of the intercontinental level.

Now his role on the court is to take advantage of his physical strength to fight against Liverpool's muscular defenders and create space for Ronaldo. I have to say that he did a good job at this point. So Mancini continued to trust him and did not immediately replace Ricardo.

In the 51st minute, Ronaldo passed the ball to Adriano in the penalty area. Adriano acted as a "wall" this time. He knocked the ball back to Ronaldo. A shot, slightly off the post.

In the 53rd minute,

Cambiasso took the ball in front of the penalty area and tucked it to Ronaldo. Ronaldo turned his back to Carragher, slyly missed the ball, and took the ball past Carragher. Since he was in the penalty area, Carragher didn't dare to make big moves, but Traore quickly rushed over to defend.

Before Traore was in place, Ronaldo made a low pass to the middle, and Adriano grabbed the point, but he was a little too strong under the interference of Xavi Alonso and shot the ball into the plane.

In the 56th minute, Liverpool counterattacked and the ball was delivered to Luis Garcia on the right. Garcia dribbled the ball, and when facing the siege, he decisively passed the ball to the middle. After taking the ball, Baros didn't force it, but handed it to Smicer. Smicer made a cross kick, and Gerrard rushed up with a high-quality long shot. Fortunately, Toldo concentrated and hit the ball with a wonderful side throw, and Zanetti returned to the defense. Clear the ball.

The game progressed slowly, and soon came the 58th minute. At this time Benitez made a second substitution adjustment, he replaced Baros with Cisse.

French striker Cisse is very fast and is very suitable for counterattacks.

Mancini frowned slightly, his opponent was determined to take the bus, and he was a little helpless.

In fact, playing positional warfare, an organizational player like Veron is very critical, but Veron still does not pass the ball to the Brazilian, which caused Inter Milan's positional warfare to be very sluggish.

After thinking for a while, he turned his head and said to Ricardo, "You go to warm up."

Licado jumped up, quickly took off his coat, and started warming up.

In the 61st minute, Ricardo came off the bench. Before he came on, Mancini grabbed his arm and said: "Listen, I want you to step back a little bit and organize the frontcourt well. Don't blindly pursue a team. With your foot on the ball, I allow you to hold the ball properly and use your dribbling to open up the situation. At the right time, I also allow you to shoot long shots. I believe you can seize the opportunity. Also, after you come on the field, tell Ronnie, let He drops back a little bit and puts Adriano up front. Carragher doesn't matter if he doesn't come out, it's better to come out with him, you have to make good use of the space that Carragher has vacated."

Ricardo nodded repeatedly.

Veron trotted to the sideline with a gloomy expression, did not high-five Ricardo, did not speak to Mancini, did not even return to the bench, but went straight into the tunnel.

Now the media has another topic after the game.

But it is also understandable that no one wants to be replaced in such a crucial game, especially Veron, who claims to be the absolute core of Inter Milan and the brain of the midfield.

After Ricardo came on the field to convey Mancini's words, he ran away for a while, his speed and flexible dribbling rushed Liverpool's formation into chaos.

In the 67th minute, Ricardo took the ball in the middle. He took a few steps horizontally, then suddenly started, broke through Gerrard's defense, and came to the right side of the Liverpool penalty area. Then he did not blindly pass to the center of the penalty area, but It was lightly distributed to Zanetti, who put in an assist on the right, and ran towards the middle himself.

Zanetti took a look and made a pass, tricking Traore to raise his leg in front of him, and then passed the ball near the bottom line of the penalty area.

Ronaldo was making a high jump, and Carragher obviously couldn't keep up with Ronaldo's rhythm, and he was chasing after Ronaldo clumsily.

After stopping the ball with his right foot near the baseline, Ronaldo stepped on the ball with his left foot and pulled it back to avoid Carragher's steal, and then went forward.

At this moment, Liverpool's defenders immediately became nervous, and Hyypia and Xavi Alonso immediately stepped up to block, causing a brief emptiness in front of the goal.

Ronaldo did not miss this opportunity, he immediately passed the ball to the center with his left foot, and passed a half-high ball. Exclaimed, this is what Liverpool fans are worried about.

But Adriano's shot from close at hand actually hit Dudek's chest and bounced out.

The Liverpool players were too late to be afraid, and they chased the ball one by one and had to clear with their feet.

But a figure in a blue and black arrow-striped shirt rushed to the landing point one step ahead of them and shot the ball. Dudek was still suffering from the aftereffects of the strong impact and was dizzy. He barely made a save, but Without touching the ball, the football rushed into the net vigorously, setting off a wave of white waves.

"Adriano shot and was blocked, and there! Ricardo! goa1!!! Ricardo, who just played not long ago, pierced Dudek's ten fingers with his first shot! Inter Milan reversed The score, now is the 67th minute of the second half, the score is 2:1, Inter Milan leads!"

"Inter Milan's offense played very smoothly. Ricardo broke through beautifully and then scored the ball. Zanetti found Ronaldo who advanced high. Ronaldo made a pass and passed the ball to the center. Although Adri Jarno's shot was blocked, but Ricciardo made it right away and made the goal."

"In this championship battle, Inter Milan has taken the lead! Including injury time, the game is less than 30 minutes away, Liverpool still have a chance, but they must act now!"

After completing the shooting action, Licado immediately turned around and began to run wildly. He ran to the sidelines and knelt down, raising his hands to the sky. This is the first time he has scored in the Champions League final in his previous life!
