Chapter 559 The darkest night!
What Leonardo saw as a high-end game gradually turned into a miserable game in the eyes of Leeds United.
After losing in the Champions League final last season, Inter Milan seemed to have lost its ambitions.
Facing Leeds United's fast-paced pressure, they became increasingly unable to support themselves.
Leeds United's offensive organization still encountered strong resistance in the middle.
The three defensive midfielders of Stankovic, Cambiaso and Motta still allowed Kaká and Modric to pass the ball to the wing.
And on the wing... Leeds United can play whatever they want.
Gareth Bale has almost caused a dimensionality reduction blow to Maicon, and Deisler is on the right and has no fear of Zanetti.
Zanetti, who is almost 38 years old, can almost only defend passively.
In the 36th minute of the game, Deisler cut in from the right and received Modric's pass. After stopping the ball, he moved the ball to the right side of the penalty area with his outside instep.
When Chivu turned around, what caught his eye was Suarez's diagonal connection. After adjusting the ball toward the baseline, Suarez passed the ball.
The football flew to the front and back of the goal. Ranocchia moved hastily to try to clear the ball, but he was reluctant to take off.
In the air, Gareth Bale, who was cut inside and jumped into the air, was obviously overwhelmed.
Gareth Bale's header was unstoppable, and Cesar had no time to block it from close range.
The football flies into the goal!
“Gareth Bale! Another victory for Leeds!
Leading Inter Milan 3:1 at Meazza.
The first half is not over yet. "
"In less than a year, last season's Champions League final was inseparable. The two teams that didn't decide the winner until the last moment of overtime showed a huge gap today."
"Maybe Inter Milan will be bloodbathed at home!"
Gareth Bale rushed to the sidelines to celebrate after landing.
The youth storm in white clothes has officially swept European football this season!
Leonardo stopped directing.
The whole person fell into a state of paralysis.
There is nothing to do.
Shen Hao walked back to the coaching bench and sat down.
He really couldn't see how much of a threat Inter Milan could pose to Leeds United in this game.
Unless there is another world wave like Stankovic's opening shot.
Inter Milan really wants to live off the world wave.
Stankovic and Milito each had a long shot that was smoothly confiscated by Neuer.
Neuer looked helpless while holding the football.
Do you think I'm Joe Hart?
Leeds United are already in full swing.
At the same time, loopholes in Inter Milan's defense were also found during the game.
Apart from Maicon's inability to stop Gareth Bale's sudden advance and Zanetti's difficulty in blocking Deisler's threatening ball delivery, they were actually more concerned about another person.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Gareth Bale cut in from the left side of the frontcourt. Before Maicon returned to defend in the middle, Kaka's short pass came. Gareth Bale sent the ball directly into the penalty area without stopping. Left rib area.
Suarez directly dialed the ball and rushed past Ranocchia. Ranocchia immediately turned around.
But Suarez made an emergency stop the next second and crossed the ball.
A rhythm difference caused Ranokia to be wiped out!
After the cross-cut, Suarez kicked off and shot.
The football crossed an internal arc and fell into the far corner of the goal!
Inter Milan fans put on masks of pain.
"Suarez scored twice! What a wonderful performance after getting rid of Ranocchia in the penalty area and scoring!"
"Leeds United leads Inter Milan 4:1. After passing Bayern Munich, Leeds United's overall performance is stronger and more stable. The overall defense controls the opponent's threat points better, and the offense creates threats more accurately. Generally speaking, , the team has become more mature.”
"Inter Milan's defense line... Maicon is not in good condition, Zanetti is old, Ranocchia and Chivu are not good enough. It is reasonable for them to be unable to withstand Leeds United's indiscriminate bombardment."
In fact, the most important thing is that the advantages and disadvantages of offense and defense are closely related.
Bayern Munich can play back and forth with Leeds United not because of how good their defense is, but because they can create threats!
When the opponent can create a threat, the disguise will naturally weaken Leeds United's offense.
Inter Milan's ability to create threats is very unsatisfactory.
Playmaker Sneijder has experienced injuries this season, and his form has declined since his return from injury.
In the process of the team's overall strength and state declining, Sneijder failed to swim upstream.
Perhaps after winning the World Cup and being crowned Mr. Ballon d'Or, Sneijder's own ambitions have been significantly reduced.
The end points pursued by different players are different.
The first half of the game came to an end.
As long as Leeds United doesn't stretch their hips, the overall situation in the quarter-finals is decided.
Shen Hao did not go back to the locker room. He warmed up and played football with the substitute players on the court for a while, and even smiled and chatted with Rakitic.
"You all cheer up and watch the game carefully. The second round is at home and you will start."
Shen Hao reminded Rakitic, Casemiro and other substitute players.
The substitutes who had relaxed during the break cheered up.
Although it is difficult to get a top position at Leeds United.
But there are many opportunities.
Who dares to train for the Champions League quarter-finals?
In other words, who can establish a big advantage to train troops?
Baiyi Dare also has the strength to create a highly fault-tolerant environment.
In the second half, players from both sides returned to the court and changed sides to fight again.
Inter Milan is more conservative in defense.
The midfielder is closer to the back line.
You could say they started busing it.
Leeds United can get a good long-range shooting environment in front of the Inter Milan penalty area.
According to changes in opponents, Leeds United also switched its main offensive methods.
Seal the front court and fire from a distance!
In the 57th minute of the game, Kaka received Deisler's return pass in the penalty area on the right side of the penalty area.
He responded to the ball and changed its direction to go around Motta, and then took off and shot!
The football flew through a slight internal arc into the upper right corner of the goal!
Dead end!
World wave!
"Kaka! The boy in white scored twice! Leeds United are still scoring goals, and a massacre is taking place!"
"Inter Milan should be completely destroyed. Even if they set up a bus, they can't stop Leeds United from scoring goals."
"The score became 5:1. Leeds United scored 5 away goals and led by 4 goals. Not to mention that Leeds United was undefeated at home in the Tyrant Era. Even if Inter Milan can win away from home, can they still massacre Leeds United?
The British wouldn't believe it if they just pulled out a dog! "
Inter Milan is indeed a bit collapsed.
Leonardo looked a little pale.
From the beginning of the game, I dreamed of slaying the dragon, but now I am worried about whether I will be able to save the fire and be unable to end the season as a coach.
Leeds United, who really turned the game into a brutal game, showed no mercy at all.
In the 66th minute of the game, Modric fired a heavy shot from the outside.
Cesar made a save and missed, and Suarez followed up with a follow-up shot to score another victory!
hat trick!
"6:1! Leeds United's massacre is nailing Inter Milan to the pillar of shame!"
"This is Meazza, the home ground of Inter Milan! If Mourinho were watching this game, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood."
"Don't talk about Mourinho, I'm afraid Mancini's blood pressure will soar!"
Inter Milan fans began to leave.
They couldn't stand it anymore.
In their eyes, Inter Milan has almost lost its fighting spirit.
When the tide is falling, no one steps forward, and no one can turn the tide.
Leeds United went completely crazy!
In the 74th minute of the game, although there were many people on the defensive line, Inter Milan's disorganized military allowed Modric to seize a channel to deliver the threatening ball.
His precise pass found Gareth Bale cutting inside.
However, Gareth Bale's ability to control the ball in dense spaces is obviously not delicate enough. He is self-aware and causes further panic in Inter Milan's defense. When the players are running towards him to encircle and block the ball, he stops the ball. Pass the ball back.
Stankovic and Ranocchia turned to look back, and Kaka came forward. After changing the direction of the ball to dodge Stankovic's press, Kaka pushed the ball first before Cambiasso was in place.
The football rolled towards the lower left corner of the goal. The ball was not fast and the angle was tricky.
Cesar made a narrow save on the spot.
"Wow! Kaka, the boy in white, also scored a hat-trick of goals!"
"In one game, Suarez and Kaka scored a hat-trick of goals at the same time!"
"Don't forget, Gareth Bale's assist is also a hat-trick!"
Inter Milan is experiencing a disastrous defeat in team history.
Maybe they didn't realize this when they were two or three goals behind.
But when the score became 1:7, it was too late for them to react.
Substitution for Leeds United.
Royce and Azpilicueta appear.
Leeds United's offensive is still fierce.
But Inter Milan looked very embarrassed.
Gareth Bale's impact on the right when he changes sides obviously poses a huge threat to Zanetti, whose physical strength is beginning to decline.
Leonardo replaced Zanetti with Yuto Nagatomo, which had some effect.
However, Maicon still seemed unable to withstand the impact from Royce.
If Gareth Bale is a simple and crude speed impact, then Royce's timing of inside cuts and delicate ball control skills have shown good results.
In the 86th minute of the game, Baynes suddenly assisted to the frontcourt, and Royce quickly cooperated with him against the wall.
Royce, who cut into the penalty area and entered the inside line, took a step towards the baseline and immediately made a pass.
The football flew to the middle of the goal.
Suarez, who was grabbing the point, had not even touched the ball, but Ranocchia, who was intercepting it, had already sent the ball into the goal!
"Ranocchia! An own goal! Inter Milan is making things worse!"
"8:1! Leeds United leads 8:1 at San Siro! This is Inter Milan's darkest night in the Champions League!"
"Leeds United's performance tonight was perfect. Without Stankovic's world-wide start, Inter Milan would have lost even more miserably."
In the stands of the Meazza Stadium, the Inter Milan fans were in disbelief, like zombies.
Tonight's game, strictly speaking, Inter Milan only allowed them to watch for 1 minute.
The rest of the time was Leeds United's show time.
The players on the field also looked around in confusion. At this time, there was no need to expect anyone to step forward and turn the tide.
Shen Hao used up the last substitution spot.
Rakitic came on to replace Kaká.
Game time is running out.
Leeds United retreated.
The pressure on Inter Milan is finally gone.
But what was left to them was a mess.
The final whistle sounded and the game came to an end.
Leeds fans will be high-fiving and hugging each other.
Everyone feels a great sense of accomplishment for performing a perfect massacre in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Shen Hao turned around and shook hands with Leonardo, who had disappeared.
Although he is younger than the other party, he does have the aura of a senior.
Not adding salt to Leonardo's wounds was Shen Hao's greatest kindness to him.
Arriving at the post-match press conference, Shen Hao exclaimed when summarizing the match: "If you want to ask me if I expected this result before the match, I definitely didn't.
But Leeds deservedly won the game.
I don't want this big win to make the team lose their vigilance and aggressiveness.
The test for us may come in the semi-finals of the Champions League. "
The first round of the quarterfinals has just ended.
Is Shen Hao talking about the top four?
No one in Fleet Street was surprised or wrong.
Leading 8:1 in the first round, still away from home.
Can Leeds United still stage an epic upset unprecedented in football history for fans around the world?
Leonardo faced the media after the game and did not receive crazy insults.
The Italian media directly suggested that he resign.
I'm really afraid that if he continues to lead Inter Milan, they may become a third-rate team.
Leeds United triumph.
Fleet Street showered them with compliments.
Shen Hao noticed that in the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals, there were actually only 4 games.
But three of the games resulted in big scores.
Leeds United beat Inter Milan 8:1 away from home.
Real Madrid 4:0 Arsenal.
Barcelona 5:1 Shakhtar Donetsk.
Big wins for all three teams stood out.
It seems to tell the whole world that in the past, everyone thought that the Champions League quarter-finals were beginning to enter a dialogue between the top players, but in fact the situation has begun to change.
Only the collision between them is a strong dialogue. If they meet other teams, it will be a dimensionality reduction attack!
But it should be said that this is a situation where the three powers stand together.
Leeds United fans must be the first to say no.
Who is on the same level as Barcelona and Real Madrid?
Leeds United returns to the league and will go to an away game to challenge Chelsea.
Chelsea are currently more than 15 points behind Leeds United.
Therefore, the contest between the two teams at least has little to do with whether Chelsea still has hope of competing for the championship.
Ancelotti's life was difficult. During the winter transfer window, Chelsea spent a huge sum of money to buy Torres from Liverpool.
As a result, Torres' performance... To be honest, it can be basically concluded that he is a parallel import.
This is directly related to the double decline in form and strength after Torres' injury.
When he moved to Chelsea, there was competition and the urgent need to perform added to the pressure.
The money was spent, but the strength did not become stronger, but instead there was an annoying burden.
This is the current situation at Chelsea.
Ancelotti said on the surface that Torres only needs to find his form to be able to kill everyone.
But he was not optimistic in his heart.
It's hard to even give him a chance to play. How quickly can we expect him to regain his form?
As for the dismissal crisis, Italian coaches like Ancelotti will not panic because of it.
Looking at the coaches in European football, Italian coaches are the most resigned.
The same club can kick people out today and cut ties with each other, and then invite people back to work honestly tomorrow.
But when Ancelotti looked at Leeds United coming to attack him, he still felt somewhat unwilling to do so.
The goal of coming to the Premier League and overturning Leeds United may be difficult to achieve!
